- Jorge Arévalo wrote this enhancement.
This enhancement to the gdal2tiles.py script includes the following additional features:
- Parallel processing, to use all available machine cores when generating tiles. This speeds up tile creation considerably.
- Support for both the TMS and XYZ tile cache formats. Use the -o flag to choose; XYZ is the default format.
- Support for both PNG and JPEG tile outputs. Use the -f flag to choose; PNG is the default format.
# #python3 -m ensurepip # install from local directory pip install . # Successfully installed gdal2tilesp.py-3.14.15926The project roblabs/gdal-geopdf makes use of this Python script in a Dockerfile.
Run gdal2tilesp.py --help to check all the command-line parameters of the script.
Usage: gdal2tilesp.py [options] input_file(s) [output] Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE Tile cutting profile (mercator,geodetic,raster) - default 'mercator' (Google Maps compatible) -r RESAMPLING, --resampling=RESAMPLING Resampling method (average,near,bilinear,cubic,cubicsp line,lanczos,antialias) - default 'average' -s SRS, --s_srs=SRS The spatial reference system used for the source input data -z ZOOM, --zoom=ZOOM Zoom levels to render (format:'2-5' or '10'). -e, --resume Resume mode. Generate only missing files. -a NODATA, --srcnodata=NODATA NODATA transparency value to assign to the input data --processes=PROCESSES Number of concurrent processes (defaults to the number of cores in the system) -v, --verbose Print status messages to stdout KML (Google Earth) options: Options for generated Google Earth SuperOverlay metadata -k, --force-kml Generate KML for Google Earth - default for 'geodetic' profile and 'raster' in EPSG:4326. For a dataset with different projection use with caution! -n, --no-kml Avoid automatic generation of KML files for EPSG:4326 -u URL, --url=URL URL address where the generated tiles are going to be published Web viewer options: Options for generated HTML viewers a la Google Maps -w WEBVIEWER, --webviewer=WEBVIEWER Web viewer to generate (all,google,openlayers,leaflet,index,metadata,none) - default 'all' -t TITLE, --title=TITLE Title of the map -c COPYRIGHT, --copyright=COPYRIGHT Copyright for the map -g GOOGLEKEY, --googlekey=GOOGLEKEY Google Maps API key from http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html -y YAHOOKEY, --yahookey=YAHOOKEY Yahoo Application ID from http://developer.yahoo.com/wsregapp/ Config options: Options for config parameters -x, --auxfiles Generate aux.xml files. -f OUTPUT_FORMAT, --format=OUTPUT_FORMAT Image format for output tiles. Just WEBP, PNG and JPEG allowed. PNG is selected by default -o OUTPUT_CACHE, --output=OUTPUT_CACHE Format for output cache. Values allowed are tms and xyz, being xyz the default value- Generates tilesjson in the file index.html, which then is consumed by KlokanTech
tileview.tileviewfurther generates Leaflet, OpenLayers 2 & 3, Google Maps, WebGL, OL3-Cesium, Mapbox JS, and ArcGIS for JavaScript.
- Generates Leaflet layer for use with the XYZ default format. Where the
tmsparameter is set tofalse - Generates metatdata.json which is interpreted by
mb-utilfor use with mbtiles.
var lyr = L.tileLayer('./{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {tms: false, opacity: 1.0, attribution: ""}); - The
epsg::900913projection code is not supported, useepsg:3857to generate a tile set in web mercator projection.
