Mastering OpenLayers 3

Customizing a view

Customizing the view is not a hard task; it manly consists of considerations regarding the nature of the project and expected outcome. For our application, wrapping the map around the x axis is completely needless. Also, we can restrict the extent to the projection's extent. In the first example, called ch06_customize, we make such modifications in our application. First, we disable the layer wrapping in our base layers:

    var map = new ol.Map({
        […]
            new ol.layer.Tile({
                source: new ol.source.TileWMS({
                    […]
                    wrapX: false
                […]
            new ol.layer.Vector({
                source: new ol.source.Vector({
                    […]
                    wrapX: false
                }),

Tip

Unlike in OpenLayers 2, you cannot make a high level decision to disable layer wrapping for the entire map. You have to disable it layer-wise ...
