Requirements

dotAtlas will work in any modern desktop browser, but make sure you know what the specific requirements are.

Supported browsers

dotAtlas is supported on the following desktop browsers:

Browser Supported versions
Chrome Two latest versions
Firefox Two latest versions
Safari Two latest versions
Edge Two latest versions
Internet Explorer Version 11

dotAtlas will most likely work on other modern desktop browsers, such as Opera, though support for these is not a priority.

Mobile browsers not yet supported.

The pre-release versions of dotAtlas do not support mobile devices. The first public release will support mobile browsers, possibly with a limited set of available layer types or slightly degraded rendering quality.

Technological requirements

dotAtlas relies on the following web technologies:

  • JavaScript. The minimum required version is ECMAScript 5, but dotAtlas also comes in ECMAScript 6 module format.

  • HTML5 canvas.

  • WebGL. In addition to the base WebGL specification, dotAtlas requires the following WebGL extensions:

    • OES_texture_float

    • OES_texture_float_linear
    • OES_standard_derivative
    • WEBGL_color_buffer_float
    • EXT_float_blend

    Note that support for WebGL extensions depends on specific graphics hardware, not the browser. The vast majority of current hardware does support the above WebGL extensions.
