helps handling tile pyramids

Tilematrix handles geographic web tiles and tile pyramids.

The module is designed to translate between tile indices (zoom, row, column = ZYX) and map coordinates (e.g. latitute, longitude).

Tilematrix supports metatiling and tile buffers. Furthermore it makes heavy use of shapely and it can also generate Affine objects per tile which facilitates working with rasterio for tile based data reading and writing.

It is very similar to mercantile but besides of supporting spherical mercator tile pyramids, it also supports geodetic (WGS84) tile pyramids.

CLI

This package ships with a command line tool tmx which provides the following subcommands:

• bounds: Print bounds of given Tile.

• bbox: Print bounding box geometry of given Tile.

• tile: Print Tile covering given point.

• tiles: Print Tiles covering given bounds.

Geometry outputs can either be formatted as WKT or GeoJSON. For example the following command will print a valid GeoJSON representing all tiles for zoom level 1 of the geodetic WMTS grid:

$ tmx -f GeoJSON tiles -- 1 -180 -90 180 90
{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
    {"geometry": {"coordinates": [[[-90.0, 0.0], [-90.0, 90.0], [-180.0, 90.0], [-180.0, 0.0], [-90.0, 0.0]]], "type": "Polygon"}, "properties": {"col": 0, "row": 0, "zoom": 1}, "type": "Feature"},
    {"geometry": {"coordinates": [[[0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 90.0], [-90.0, 90.0], [-90.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0]]], "type": "Polygon"}, "properties": {"col": 1, "row": 0, "zoom": 1}, "type": "Feature"},
    {"geometry": {"coordinates": [[[90.0, 0.0], [90.0, 90.0], [0.0, 90.0], [0.0, 0.0], [90.0, 0.0]]], "type": "Polygon"}, "properties": {"col": 2, "row": 0, "zoom": 1}, "type": "Feature"},
    {"geometry": {"coordinates": [[[180.0, 0.0], [180.0, 90.0], [90.0, 90.0], [90.0, 0.0], [180.0, 0.0]]], "type": "Polygon"}, "properties": {"col": 3, "row": 0, "zoom": 1}, "type": "Feature"},

    {"geometry": {"coordinates": [[[180.0, -90.0], [180.0, 0.0], [90.0, 0.0], [90.0, -90.0], [180.0, -90.0]]], "type": "Polygon"}, "properties": {"col": 3, "row": 1, "zoom": 1}, "type": "Feature"}
  ]
}

Print WKT representation of tile 4 15 23:

$ tmx bbox 4 15 23
POLYGON ((90 -90, 90 -78.75, 78.75 -78.75, 78.75 -90, 90 -90))

Also, tiles can have buffers around called pixelbuffer:

$ tmx --pixelbuffer 10 bbox 4 15 23
POLYGON ((90.439453125 -90, 90.439453125 -78.310546875, 78.310546875 -78.310546875, 78.310546875 -90, 90.439453125 -90))

Print GeoJSON representation of tile 4 15 23 on a mercator tile pyramid:

$ tmx -output_format GeoJSON -grid mercator bbox 4 15 15
{"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[20037508.342789203, -20037508.3427892], [20037508.342789203, -17532819.799940553], [17532819.799940553, -17532819.799940553], [17532819.799940553, -20037508.3427892], [20037508.342789203, -20037508.3427892]]]}
