75 r.tileset generates sets of tiles in another projection that cover a
76 region in this projection with adequate resolution. By default the cur‐
77 rent region and its resolution are used, the bounds and resolution of
78 another region can be used via the region option.
79
81 r.tileset does not make "optimal" tilings (as few tiles of the largest
82 size less than the maximums). This means that from latitude longitude
83 projection to an appropriate projection for a region, in the degenerate
84 case, it may create tiles demanding up to twice the necessary informa‐
85 tion. Furthermore, generating a tiling near a divergant point of a
86 source projection, such as the poles of a cylindrical source projec‐
87 tions, results in divergence of the tile set.
88 Not generating "optimal" tilings may have another consequence; the
90 aspect ratio of cells in the destination region will not necessarily
91 carry over to the source region and generated tiles may have cells of
92 strange aspect ratios. This might be a problem for some map request
93 services presenting data in an inappropriate projection or with strict
94 constraints on cell aspect ratio.
95
97 Each tile is listed on a separate line in the output. The lines are
98 formatted as follows:
99 5|125|45|175|80|100
101 This is the default output format. It is the tile’s minimum x coor‐
102 dinate, minimum y coordinate, maximum x coordinate, maximum y coor‐
103 dinate, width in cells, and height in cells separated by the "|"
104 character. The fields can be separated by a different character by
105 changing the fs option.
106 w=5;s=125;e=45;n=175;cols=80;rows=100;
108 This is output in a format convenient for setting variables in a
109 shell script.
110 bbox=5,125,45,175&width=80&height=100
112 This is output in a format convenient for requesting data from some
113 http services.
114
116 Generates tiles in latitude longitude that cover the current region,
117 each tile will be less than 1024 cells high and 2048 cells across. The
118 bounds and sizes of tiles in the output are separated by | (pipe):
119 r.tileset sourceproj=+init=epsg:4326 maxrows=1024 maxcols=2048
121 Generates tiles in latitude longitude projection that cover the named
122 region "ne-rio". The tiles will have 2 cells of overlap. The output
123 format will be strings like the bbox requests for WMS servers:
124 r.tileset sourceproj=+init=epsg:4326 overlap=2 -w region=ne-rio
126 Generates tiles in the projection of the location "IrishGrid". Each
127 tile will be less than 300x400 cells in size, with 3 cells of overlap
128 in the top and right sides of each tile. The output is in a format
129 where each line is in shell script style. The substitution `g.proj -j
130 location=IrishGrid` will only work in a unix style shell:
131 r.tileset sourceproj="`g.proj -j location=IrishGrid`" maxrows=400 maxcols=300 overlap=3 -g
133
135 · r.tileset does not know about meridians that "wrap-around" in
136 projections.
