How to change View center without triggering layer requests

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Hi, I’d like to know if it is possible to change a View center without automatically triggering layer requests (WMS, WMTS…). I have tried map.getView().set('center', [ lon, lat], true); using the opt_silent parameter but the view is not moving at all.

Describe the solution you’d like In OL2 you could use setCenter on a Map object with the dragging parameter set to false. Is there any equivalent in OL6? Thanks.

setCenter: function(	lonlat,
zoom,
dragging, // {Boolean} Specifies whether or not to trigger movestart/end events
forceZoomChange	)

@nboisteault What @mike-000 said only applies to tile layers. In your case the layer is an image layer, which usually does not load new images during panning. You can see that in https://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/wms-image.html. I’m surprised to see the requests in your example. Looks like you might have some custom loading behavior that triggers this.

Yes. a standard ImageWMS source behaves in a similar way to the previous vector source with bbox strategy example when an animating state is maintained https://codesandbox.io/s/wms-image-forked-k7xcjz?file=/main.js
