WMTS Tile Generator

Spectrum Spatial provides an OGC-compliant Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) built to the OGC specifications for WMTS versions 1.0.0 (located at http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wmts).

The WMTS Tile Generator is a command-line utility, named tile_builder.bat on Windows and tile_builder.sh on Linux, that executes batch runs to generate map tiles for the WMTS service and optionally seed the WMTS tile cache. The WMTS Tile Generator is available as a download from the Spectrum Spatial section of the Spectrum Technology Platform Welcome Page, under WMTS Tile Generator on the Utilities tab.

Running the WMTS Tile Generator (tile_builder.bat) with no parameters or with the -help parameter displays details about its parameters.

For information about Spectrum Spatial support for WMTS, see Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) in the Services section of the Spectrum Spatial Guide.

Note:
  • The WMTS Tile Generator requires the JAVA_HOME variable set to the location of the installed JDK (Java 11 is required).
  • The WMTS Tile Generator uses Basic authentication. For details, see Web Service Authentication.
