Raster XYZ PNGs (for MapLibre)

https://tiles.stadiamaps.com/tiles/alidade_smooth/{z}/{x}/{y}@2x.png

What are these {x}, {y}, {z} things?

The {x}, {y}, and {z} placeholders represent x, y, and zoom following the standard slippy map tilename convention.

The {r} placeholder should be understood by most raster map libraries and will be replaced with @2x on devices with a HiDPI ("retina") display. If yours does not understand this (e.g., MapLibre GL JS), you can either remove this to get raw 256x256 PNGs, or manually replace it with @2x for 2x scale.
