✨ TILESTACHE-LIST ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the manual page for tilestache-list, a lil command in the General Commands Manual section of the TILESTACHE-LIST(1) family, and it's literally just here to make you a list of tiles. no pics, no drama, just coordinates. slay.

🎀 NAME 🎀

tilestache-list — the girl who generates a list of tiles based on geographic or other criteria. that's it. that's her whole job. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

tilestache-list [options] [zoom...]

so you give her some options, you give her some zoom levels, and she pops off. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

bestie, this manual page documents briefly the tilestache-list command. keeping it cute, keeping it short. 🫶

tilestache-list generates a list of tiles based on geographic or other criteria. that's the vibe. 🌈

okay but here's the important part, no cap: no images are created and no Tilestache configuration is read. not a single one. she's not here to make pixels, she's here to make lists. what you get is a list of tile coordinates in Z/X/Y form, fully compatible with the tilestache-seed --tile-list output. so they can hold hands and work together. iconic. 👑

Example time, periodt:

tilestache-list.py -b 52.55 13.28 52.46 13.51 11 12 13

Protip: seed a cache in parallel on 8 CPUs with split and xargs like this. and honestly? this is giving main character energy. 🔥

tilestache-list.py 12 13 14 15 | split -l 20 - tiles/list-
ls -1 tiles/list-* | xargs -n1 -P8 tilestache-seed.py -c tilestache.cfg -l osm --tile-list

(that second line is one long line, don't let your terminal gaslight you 🫶)

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -b, --bbox lat lon lat lon — bounding box in floating point geographic coordinates, in the order south west north east. so like, the corners of your lil rectangle. 🎀
  • -p, --padding number — extra margin of tiles to add around the bounded area. she's generous, she's giving you a lil buffer. ✨
  • --from-mbtiles file — optional input file for tiles, and it gets read as an MBTiles 1.1 tileset. see http://mbtiles.org for more info. heads up bestie, this one overrides --bbox and --padding. she said "i don't need those anymore." 💀
ngl, if you pass --from-mbtiles, your -b and -p are just sitting there unused. no thoughts, head empty. 🙈
