List of Web Mapping Services (WMS)

Here's example on how to create a WMS layer instance using the Open Source JavaScript library OpenLayers. The possible values for layers can be found in the expandable list below.

  var wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
    "Population Density",
    "http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/geoserver/gwc/service/wms",
    {layers: 'gpw-v3:gpw-v3-population-density_2000'}
