Generating Tiles from a File with Tile Generator
Description
This process generates tiles using a request file.
Parameters
To generate tiles, use the following options:
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -dirOutput <dirOutput> | no | Path to the directory the generated tiles will be saved to. If the Tile Generator is located on the same machine as Spectrum™ Technology Platform, dirOutput must be a different location that what is configured for the diskPath tile cache parameter in the MapTiling service configuration. |
| -fileInput <fileInput> | yes | Path and name of the request file to generate the tiles. |
| -format <format> | yes | Image format type (gif, jpeg, jpg, mvt, png) |
| -password <password> | yes | Password to access the repository. |
| -threads <threads> | no | Number of threads to use to generate the tiles. |
| -url <url> | yes | Specifies the URL to the Map Tiling Service. |
| -username <username> | yes | User to access the repository. |
| -cache <cache> | no | Setting the cache to false causes the Tile Generator to set the HTTP cache-control header to “no-cache” in every tile request. This can be used to flush the cache of tiles in a proxy server between clients and the Map Tiling Service. |
Example
This request will read from the request file and generate tiles.
