NAME

       tilestache-compose - set a map coverage area

SYNOPSIS

       tilestache-compose [options] file...

DESCRIPTION

       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
