tilestache-seed - seed a single layer in your TileStache configuration

tilestache-seed [options] zoom...

This manual page documents briefly the tilestache-seed command.

tilestache-seed seeds a single layer in your TileStache configuration. No images are returned, but TileStache ends up with a pre-filled cache. Bounding box is given as a pair of lat/lon coordinates, e.g. "37.788 -122.349 37.833 -122.246". Output is a list of tile paths as they are created.
Configuration, BBox, and Layer options are required.

Path to configuration file. Required.
Layer name from configuration. Required.
Bounding box in floating point geographic coordinates. Required.

Show summary of options.
Extra margin of tiles to add around bounded area. Default value is 0 (no extra tiles).
Optional file type for rendered tiles. Default value is "png" for most image layers and some variety of JSON for Vector or Mapnik Grid providers.
Optional JSON progress file that gets written on each iteration, so you don't have to pay close attention.
Suppress chatty output, --progress-file works well with this.
Add the following colon-separated list of paths to Python's include path (aka sys.path).
Optional output directory for tiles, to override configured cache with the equivalent of:
{"name": "Disk", "path": <output directory>, "dirs": "portable", "gzip": []}.

More information in http://tilestache.org/doc/#caches.

Optional output file for tiles, will be created as an MBTiles 1.1 tileset. See http://mbtiles.org for more information.
Optional input file for tiles, will be read as an MBTiles 1.1 tileset. See http://mbtiles.org for more information. Overrides --extension, --bbox and --padding (this may change).
Optional output bucket for tiles, will be populated with tiles in a standard Z/X/Y layout. Three required arguments: AWS access-key, secret, and bucket name.
Optional file of tile coordinates, a simple text list of Z/X/Y coordinates. Overrides --bbox and --padding.
Optional file of failed tile coordinates, a simple text list of Z/X/Y coordinates. If provided, failed tiles will be logged to this file instead of stopping tilestache-seed.
If true this will cause tilestache-seed to retry failed tile renderings up to (3) times. Default value is False.
Re-render every tile, whether it is in the cache already or not.
Add a JSONP callback for tiles with a json mime-type, causing "*.js" tiles to be written to the cache wrapped in the callback function. Ignored for non-JSON tiles.
