NAME

       tilestache-clean - clean tiles from a TileStache cache

SYNOPSIS

       tilestache-clean [options] zoom...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tilestache-clean command.

       tilestache-clean is used to clean tiles from a TileStache cache.

       Cleans  a  single  layer  in  your  TileStache configuration - no images are returned, and
       TileStache ends up with an empty in selected areas 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.

       The zoom option is a space separated list of zoom levels which will be cleaned. e.g. 12 13
       14  15  will  clean  zooms  12  through 15. Many shells allow you to use {a..b} which will
       expand to a list of numbers a though to b.  Required.

REQUIRED OPTIONS

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

       -l, --layer layer
              Layer name from configuration. "ALL" is a special value that will clean all  layers
              in  turn.  If  you  have  an  actual  layer  named "ALL", use "ALL LAYERS" instead.
              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 path
              Add the following colon-separated list of  paths  to  Python's  include  path  (aka
              sys.path)

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