CATiledLayer
is a subclass of CALayer
providing a way to asynchronously provide tiles of the layer's content, potentially cached at multiple levels of detail.
As more data is required by the renderer, the layer's drawLayer:inContext:
method is called on one or more background threads to supply the drawing operations to fill in one tile of data. The clip bounds and CTM of the drawing context can be used to determine the bounds and resolution of the tile being requested.
Regions of the layer may be invalidated using the setNeedsDisplayInRect:
method however the update will be asynchronous. While the next display update will most likely not contain the updated content, a future update will.

The number of levels of detail maintained by this layer.
@property size_t levelsOfDetail
Defaults to 1. Each level of detail is half the resolution of the previous level. If too many levels are specified for the current size of the layer, then the number of levels is clamped to the maximum value (the bottom most level of detail must contain at least a single pixel in each dimension.)
CATiledLayer.h
The number of magnified levels of detail for this layer.
@property size_t levelsOfDetailBias
Defaults to 0. Each previous level of detail is twice the resolution of the later. For example, specifying a value of 2 means that the layer has two extra levels of detail: 2x and 4x.
CATiledLayer.h
The maximum size of each tile used to create the layer's content.
@property CGSize tileSize
Defaults to (256.0, 256.0).
CATiledLayer.h
The time, in seconds, that newly added images take to "fade-in" to the rendered representation of the tiled layer.
+ (CFTimeInterval)fadeDuration
The default implementation returns 0.25 seconds.
