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.
