tilestache-compose [options] file...

This manual page documents briefly the tilestache-compose command.

There are three ways to set a map coverage area.

1) Center, zoom, and dimensions: create a map of the specified size, centered on a given geographical point at a given zoom level:

  tilestache-compose.py -c config.json -l layer-name -d 800 800 -n 37.8 -122.3 -z 11 out.jpg

2) Extent and dimensions: create a map of the specified size that adequately covers the given geographical extent:

  tilestache-compose.py -c config.json -l layer-name -d 800 800 -e 36.9 -123.5 38.9 -121.2 out.png

3) Extent and zoom: create a map at the given zoom level that covers the precise geographical extent, at whatever pixel size is necessary:

  tilestache-compose.py -c config.json -l layer-name -e 36.9 -123.5 38.9 -121.2 -z 9 out.jpg

-c,  --config file

Path to configuration file.

-l,  --layer layer
