### Map Tile Rendering
Map tiles create the graphical representation of your map in a web browser. The performance rendering of map tiles is dependent on the type of geospatial data model (raster or vector) that you are using.
- **Raster**: Generates map tiles based on a grid of pixels to represent your data. Each cell is a fixed size and contains values for particular map features. On the server-side, each request queries a dataset to retrieve data for each map tile. The grid size of map tiles can often lead to graphic quality issues.
- **Vector**: Generates map tiles based on pre-defined coordinates to represent your data, similar to how basemap image tiles are rendered. On the client-side, map tiles represent real-world geometries of a map. Depending on the coordinates, vertices are used to connect the data and display points, lines, or polygons for the map tiles.
**Note:** By default, CARTO uses vector graphics for map rendering. Please [contact us](mailto:support@carto.com) if you need raster rendering enabled as part of your requirements.
### Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT)
[Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT)](https://www.mapbox.com/vector-tiles/specification/) are map tiles that store geographic vector data on the client-side. Browser performance is fast since you can pan and zoom without having to query the server.
CARTO uses a Web Graphics Library (WebGL) to process MVT files. This is useful since WebGL's are compatible with most web browsers, include support for multiple client-side mapping engines, and do not require additional information from the server; which makes it more efficient for rendering map tiles.
**Tip:** You can process MVT files with the [`ST_AsMVT` PostGIS function](https://postgis.net/docs/manual-dev/ST_AsMVT.html) with the [Maps API Windshaft renderer](https://github.com/CartoDB/Windshaft/blob/1000x/lib/windshaft/renderers/pg_mvt/renderer.js).

When no placement or columns are specified a special default aggregation is performed.
This special mode performs only spatial aggregation (using a grid defined by the requested tile and the resolution, parameter, as all the other cases), and returns a _random_ record from each group (grid cell) with all its columns and an additional `_cdb_features_count` with the number of features in the group.

### `filters`
Aggregated data can be filtered by imposing filtering conditions on the aggregated columns.
Each condition is represented by one or more parameters:
* `{ "equal": V }` selects an specific value of the aggregated column.
* `{ "not_equal": V }` selects values different from the one specified.
* `{ "in": [v1, v2, v3] }` selects any value from a list.
* `{ "not_in": [v1, v2, v3] }` selects any value not in a list.
* `{ "less_than": v }` selects values strictly less than the one given.
* `{ "less_than_or_equal_to": v }` selects values less than or equal to the one given.
* `{ "greater_than": v }` selects values strictly greater than the one given.
* `{ "greater_than_or_equal_to": v }` selects values greater than or equal to the one given.
One of the *less* conditions can be combined with one of the *greater* conditions to select a range of values, for example:
* `{ "greater_than": v1, "less_than": v2 }`
* `{ "greater_than_or_equal_to": v1, "less_than": v2 }`
* `{ "greater_than": v1, "less_than_or_equal_to": v2 }`
* `{ "greater_than_or_equal_to": v1, "less_than_or_equal_to": v2 }`
For a given column, multiple conditions can be passed in an array; the conditions will logically ORed (any of the conditions have to be verifid for the value to be selected):
* `"myvalue": [ { "equal": 10 }, { "less_than": 0 }]` will select values of the column `myvalue` which are equal to 10 **or** less than 0.
In addition, the filters applied to different columns are logically combined with AND (all the conditions have to be satisfied for an element to be selected); for example with the following `filters` parameter we'll select aggregated records which have a `total_value` > 100 **and** a category equal to "a".
```json
{
"total_value": { "greater_than": 100 },
"category": { "equal": "a" }
}
```
Note that the filtered columns have to be defined with the `columns` parameter, except for `_cdb_feature_count`, which is always implicitly defined and can be filtered too.
