I have tested and tried many times but I cannot seem to get the Stamen Toner Lite image server to work in Manifold. Works fine in QGIS. Is there something different I should be doing in Manifold to make this work? I have another Stamen server that works for terrain data. Tried to just edit that one for the toner lite tiles and that didn't work either.

--SQL

CREATE DATASOURCE [Stamen Light] (

  PROPERTY 'Source' '{ "Source": "https:\\/\\/stamen-tiles-a.a.ssl.fastly.net\\/toner-lite\\/{zoom}\\/{x}\\/{y}@2x.png", "SourceAgent": "Mozilla\\/5.0 Manifold\\/9.0", "SourceCache": true, "SourceCacheTemp": true, "SourceTileSizeSingle": 512, "SourceUuid": "763bebec-99fb-4dae-91eb-ba5bd9905d49", "SourceZooms": [ 0, 20 ] }',

  PROPERTY 'Type' 'imageserver'

);

Run this in a command window.

Worked like a charm! Thank you Sloots!

Can you explain why this didn't work by normal methods so that I may understand what I did wrong?

My guess is that the {r} token is not taken care of and you must choose the right image size (512 instead of the default 256). Furthermore I believe that {z} must be changed to {zoom}.

Correct. The supported escape sequences like {x}, {y} or {zoom} are listed in Help, eg, in:

Start > Formats and Data Sources > Web Servers > Custom Servers

There's no {r}, it should be replaced with one of the allowed values, {z} should be {zoom}, and {s} should be either replaced with one of the allowed values or with {switch:...}.
