Create a custom Map

To create a custom Map:

1. Download the loop Map zip file here.

2. Unzip the loop Map zip file.

3. Move the loop Map to a convenient location, noting its path.

4. Edit the name and layers of the loop Map.

Note

Remember that a Map is defined as a directory containing the layers (YAML files) that form that Map.

Use a custom Map

To run a local Engine and Renderer using a custom Map, run the following command, where MAP is the path to the custom Map:

dts matrix run --standalone --map MAP

Note

For any changes in the layers to appear in the Renderer, this command will need to be re-run.
