SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       This manual page documents briefly the tilestache-seed command.
13
14       tilestache-seed  seeds a single layer in your TileStache configuration.
15       No images are returned, but TileStache ends up with a pre-filled cache.
16       Bounding  box  is  given as a pair of lat/lon coordinates, e.g. "37.788
17       -122.349 37.833 -122.246". Output is a list of tile paths as  they  are
18       created.
19       Configuration, BBox, and Layer options are required.
20

REQUIRED OPTIONS

22       -c, --config file
23              Path to configuration file. Required.
24
25       -l, --layer layer
26              Layer name from configuration. Required.
27
28       -b, --bbox south west north east
29              Bounding box in floating point geographic coordinates. Required.
30

OPTIONS

32       -h, --help
33              Show summary of options.
34
35       -p, --padding padding
36              Extra  margin of tiles to add around bounded area. Default value
37              is 0 (no extra tiles).
38
39       -e, --extension extension
40              Optional file type for rendered tiles. Default  value  is  "png"
41              for  most  image  layers  and some variety of JSON for Vector or
42              Mapnik Grid providers.
43
44       -f, --progress-file file
45              Optional JSON progress file that gets written on each iteration,
46              so you don't have to pay close attention.
47
48       -q     Suppress chatty output, --progress-file works well with this.
49
50       -i, --include-path
51              Add  the  following  colon-separated  list  of paths to Python's
52              include path (aka sys.path).
53
54       -d, --output-directory
55              Optional output directory  for  tiles,  to  override  configured
56              cache with the equivalent of:
57                  {"name": "Disk", "path": <output directory>, "dirs": "porta‐
58              ble", "gzip": []}.
59
60              More information in http://tilestache.org/doc/#caches.
61
62       --to-mbtiles
63              Optional output file for tiles, will be created  as  an  MBTiles
64              1.1 tileset. See http://mbtiles.org for more information.
65
66       --from-mbtiles
67              Optional  input  file  for tiles, will be read as an MBTiles 1.1
68              tileset. See http://mbtiles.org for more information.  Overrides
69              --extension, --bbox and --padding (this may change).
70
71       --to-s3
72              Optional  output  bucket for tiles, will be populated with tiles
73              in a  standard  Z/X/Y  layout.  Three  required  arguments:  AWS
74              access-key, secret, and bucket name.
75
76       --tile-list
77              Optional  file  of tile coordinates, a simple text list of Z/X/Y
78              coordinates. Overrides --bbox and --padding.
79
80       --error-list
81              Optional file of failed tile coordinates, a simple text list  of
82              Z/X/Y  coordinates.  If provided, failed tiles will be logged to
83              this file instead of stopping tilestache-seed.
84
85       --enable-retries
86              If true this will cause tilestache-seed  to  retry  failed  tile
87              renderings up to (3) times. Default value is False.
88
89       -x, --ignore-cached
90              Re-render every tile, whether it is in the cache already or not.
91
92       --jsonp-callback
93              Add  a  JSONP  callback for tiles with a json mime-type, causing
94              "*.js" tiles to be written to the cache wrapped in the  callback
95              function. Ignored for non-JSON tiles.
