 			The [TileMapLayer]'s quadrant size. A quadrant is a group of tiles to be drawn together on a single canvas item, for optimization purposes. [member rendering_quadrant_size] defines the length of a square's side, in the map's coordinate system, that forms the quadrant. Thus, the default quadrant size groups together [code]16 * 16 = 256[/code] tiles.
 			The quadrant size does not apply on a Y-sorted [TileMapLayer], as tiles are grouped by Y position instead in that case.
