The Image overlay is a layer that allows users to upload and display images over the project area in the Tygron Platform.
A much used possibility of the Image Overlay is to import WMS data: geographically referenced data, accessible through an url.
It is also possible to add a custom Image. Keep in mind that the allowed image size for custom images is 1024x1024 pixels. The image must also be in the .PNG format, the Portable Network Graphics format, which is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression.
