NAME

osgearth_tfs - generate a TFS dataset from a feature source

SYNOPSIS

osgearth_tfs filename [--first-level level | --max-level level | --max-features number | --out path | --layer layer | --description description | --expression expression | --order-by order | --crop | --dest-srs SRS]

DESCRIPTION

osgearth_tfs generates a TFS dataset from a feature source such as a shapefile. By pre-processing your features into the gridded structure provided by TFS you can significantly increase performance of large datasets. In addition, the TFS package generated can be served by any standard web server, web enabling your dataset.

OPTIONS

filename

Shapefile (or other feature source data file)

FC--first-levelF[0] level

The first level where features will be added to the quadtree

FC--max-levelF[0] level

The maximum level of the feature quadtree

FC--max-featuresF[0] number

The maximum number of features per tile

FC--outF[0] path

The destination directory

FC--layerF[0] layer

The name of the layer to be written to the metadata document

FC--descriptionF[0] description

The abstract/description of the layer to be written to the metadata document

FC--expressionF[0] expression

The expression to run on the feature source, specific to the feature source

FC--order-byF[0] order

Sort the features, if not already included in the expression. Append DESC for descending order!

FC--cropF[0]

Crops features instead of doing a centroid check. Features can be added to multiple tiles when cropping is enabled.

FC--dest-srsF[0] SRS

The destination SRS string in any format osgEarth can understand (wkt, proj4, epsg). If none is specific the source data SRS will be used.
