TILESTACHE-SEED(1)					      General Commands Manual						TILESTACHE-SEED(1)

NAME

       tilestache-seed - seed a single layer in your TileStache configuration

SYNOPSIS

       tilestache-seed [options] zoom...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tilestache-seed command.

       tilestache-seed	seeds  a  single layer in your TileStache configuration.  No images are returned, but TileStache ends up with a pre-filled
       cache.  Bounding box is given as a pair of lat/lon coordinates, e.g. "37.788 -122.349 37.833 -122.246". Output is a list of tile  paths	as
       they are created.
       Configuration, BBox, and Layer options are required.

REQUIRED OPTIONS

       -c, --config file
	      Path to configuration file. Required.

       -l, --layer layer
	      Layer name from configuration. Required.

       -b, --bbox south west north east
	      Bounding box in floating point geographic coordinates. Required.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -p, --padding padding
	      Extra margin of tiles to add around bounded area. Default value is 0 (no extra tiles).

       -e, --extension extension
	      Optional file type for rendered tiles. Default value is "png".

       -f, --progress-file file
	      Optional JSON progress file that gets written on each iteration, so you don't have to pay close attention.

       -q     Suppress chatty output, --progress-file works well with this.

       -i, --include-path
	      Add the following colon-separated list of paths to Python's include path (aka sys.path).

       -d, --output-directory
	      Optional output directory for tiles, to override configured cache with the equivalent of:
		  {"name": "Disk", "path": <output directory>, "dirs": "portable", "gzip": []}.

	      More information in http://tilestache.org/doc/#caches.

       --to-mbtiles
	      Optional output file for tiles, will be created as an MBTiles 1.1 tileset. See http://mbtiles.org for more information.

       --from-mbtiles
	      Optional	input  file  for  tiles,  will	be  read as an MBTiles 1.1 tileset. See http://mbtiles.org for more information. Overrides
	      --extension, --bbox and --padding (this may change).

       --tile-list
	      Optional file of tile coordinates, a simple text list of Z/X/Y coordinates. Overrides --bbox and --padding.

       --error-list
	      Optional file of failed tile coordinates, a simple text list of Z/X/Y coordinates. If provided, failed tiles will be logged to  this
	      file instead of stopping tilestache-seed.

       --enable-retries
	      If true this will cause tilestache-seed to retry failed tile renderings up to (3) times. Default value is False.

       -x, --ignore-cached
	      Re-render every tile, whether it is in the cache already or not.
