TileClipper Package Usage Guide

Introduction

The TileClipper package enables users to download map tiles within a specified bounding box from a tile server. This guide illustrates the installation process, instantiation of the TileClipper class, and downloading map tiles using the package.

Installation

Ensure Python is installed on your system, then install the TileClipper package using pip:

pip install tileclipper

from tileclipper import TileClipper

Instantiate TileClipper

Define the required parameters for the TileClipper class:

base_url (str): Base URL of the tile server.
bbox (list): Bounding box coordinates [minx, miny, maxx, maxy].
output_folder (str): Directory to save downloaded tiles.
max_workers (int, optional): Maximum number of concurrent workers for tile downloads (default is 10).

Create an instance of the TileClipper class:

base_url = "https://example.com/tiles/"  # Replace with your tile server URL
bbox = [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]  # Replace with bounding box coordinates
output_folder = "/path/to/output/folder/"  # Replace with output folder path
max_workers = 10  # Optional: Set maximum workers for concurrent downloads

tileclipper = TileClipper(base_url, bbox, output_folder, max_workers)

Download Tiles

Utilize the download_tiles(zoom_start, zoom_end) method to download tiles within a specified zoom level range:

    # Download tiles within zoom level range 18 to 20
    tileclipper.download_tiles(18, 20)

Example

Here's an example demonstrating the usage of the TileClipper class:

from tileclipper import TileClipper

base_url = "https://example.com/tiles/"
bbox = [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]
output_folder = "/path/to/output/folder/"
max_workers = 10

tileclipper = TileClipper(base_url, bbox, output_folder, max_workers)
tileclipper.download_tiles(18, 20)
    

Replace the placeholder values (base_url, bbox, output_folder, etc.) with your specific values according to your use case.
