17 This utility generates a directory with small tiles and metadata,
18 following the OSGeo Tile Map Service Specification. Simple web pages
19 with viewers based on Google Maps, OpenLayers and Leaflet are generated
20 as well - so anybody can comfortably explore your maps on-line and you
21 do not need to install or configure any special software (like
22 MapServer) and the map displays very fast in the web browser. You only
23 need to upload the generated directory onto a web server.
24
25 GDAL2Tiles also creates the necessary metadata for Google Earth (KML
26 SuperOverlay), in case the supplied map uses EPSG:4326 projection.
27
28 World files and embedded georeferencing is used during tile generation,
29 but you can publish a picture without proper georeferencing too.
30
31 -p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE:
32 Tile cutting profile (mercator,geodetic,raster) - default
33 'mercator' (Google Maps compatible).
34
35 -r RESAMPLING, --resampling=RESAMPLING:
36 Resampling method
37 (average,near,bilinear,cubic,cubicspline,lanczos,antialias) -
38 default 'average'.

45
46 -e, --resume:
47 Resume mode. Generate only missing files.
48
49 -a NODATA, --srcnodata=NODATA:
50 NODATA transparency value to assign to the input data.
51
52 -v, --verbose
53 Generate verbose output of tile generation.
54
55 -q, --quiet
56 Disable messages and status to stdout (GDAL >= 2.1).

70
71 -k, --force-kml
72 Generate KML for Google Earth - default for 'geodetic' profile and
73 'raster' in EPSG:4326. For a dataset with different projection use
74 with caution!
