|
| 6 | <p>When using symbol styles with WebGL, OpenLayers would render the symbol
|
| 7 | on a temporary image and would create a WebGL texture for each image. For a
|
| 8 | better performance, it is recommended to use atlas images (similar to
|
| 9 | image sprites with CSS), so that the number of textures is reduced. OpenLayers
|
| 10 | provides an <code>AtlasManager</code>, which when passed to the constructor
|
| 11 | of a symbol style, will create atlases for the symbols.</p>
