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
