Edge detection is easy if you have fixed layers. Things get complicated when your layers are variable and overlapping.

Here is a render that scaledjs gave me:

Crazy how when I move to 3 layers it’s unable to guess what to put and leaves a really bad boundary.

This is why I will add a new feature called LayerDomination. This will be a simple array to scaledjs which layer comes at what position in the hierarchy.


For eg:

generator.addLayerDomination({
    dominationPriority: ['layer_water', 'layer_plain', 'layer_snow']
});

The above line of code simply says:

  • Water Layer is Base Layer
  • Plain Layer is above Water Layer
  • Snow Layer is above Plain Layer

This will help ScaledJS know that when a snow cell is next to a plain cell it will not put a water cell below it, Infact will put a plain cell under the snow cell.
