The tiler package creates geographic map tiles from geospatial map files or non-geographic map tiles from simple image files.
Details
This package provides a tile generator function for creating map tile sets
for use with packages such as leaflet
. In addition to generating map tiles
based on a common raster layer source, it also handles the non-geographic
edge case, producing map tiles from arbitrary images. These map tiles, which
have a non-geographic simple coordinate reference system (CRS), can also be
used with leaflet
when applying the simple CRS option.
Map tiles can be created from an input file with any of the following
extensions: tif
, grd
and nc
for spatial maps and png
, jpg
and bmp
for basic images.
This package requires Python and the gdal
library for Python. Windows users
are recommended to install OSGeo4W
: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/
as an
easy way to obtain the required gdal
support for Python in Windows.
