tilestache-compose - set a map coverage area

SYNOPSIS

tilestache-compose [options] file...

This manual page documents briefly the tilestache-compose command.

There are three ways to set a map coverage area.

1) Center, zoom, and dimensions: create a map of the specified size, centered on a given geographical point at a given zoom level:

tilestache-compose.py -c config.json -l layer-name -d 800 800 -n 37.8 -122.3 -z 11 out.jpg

2) Extent and dimensions: create a map of the specified size that adequately covers the given geographical extent:

tilestache-compose.py -c config.json -l layer-name -d 800 800 -e 36.9 -123.5 38.9 -121.2 out.png

3) Extent and zoom: create a map at the given zoom level that covers the precise geographical extent, at whatever pixel size is necessary:

tilestache-compose.py -c config.json -l layer-name -e 36.9 -123.5 38.9 -121.2 -z 9 out.jpg

-c, --config file: Path to configuration file.
-l, --layer layer: Layer name from configuration.
-n, --center lat lon: Geographic center of map.
-e, --extent lat lon lat lon: Geographic extent of map.
-z, --zoom level: Zoom level.
-d, --dimensions width height: Pixel width, height of output image.
-v, --verbose: Make a bunch of noise.
-i, --include-paths paths: Add the following colon-separated list of paths to Python's include path (aka sys.path)
-x, --ignore-cached: Re-render every tile, whether it is in the cache already or not.
