[PATCH]gdal2tiles.py: support for jpg and tiff tiles

[olt]

Here is a patch for gdal2tiles.py to support output of jpg and tiff tiles, besides png. See discussion on #1763.

• Adds -of argument which accepts png, jpg or tiff. Maybe it should follow the -of arguments from gdal_translate, etc. (eg. GTiff for tiff). I'm not sure.
• Adds -co argument which is identical to gdal_translate's -co

Example: gdal2tiles.py -of tiff -co 'INTERLEAVE=PIXEL' image.tiff Ok, that example doesn't work with Open Layers and Firefox, but you get tiles as TIFF.

patch for gdal2tile.py, adds support for other tile formats

Hi,

I'd note that the copy of gdal2tiles.py shipped with maptiler contains a number of updates which were never checked into gdal svn. That version of the code can be found in the maptiler .deb; the latest public checkin to the maptiler svn at googlecode seems to be earlier.

There the option is called "--tile-format".

You can get the .deb at:

​http://maptiler.googlecode.com/files/maptiler_1.0.beta2_all.deb

and uncompress it to get the .py out from within. If I find the energy I'll make a patch vs the nearest version in gdal's svn history.

regards, Hamish

ps- you'll find some shell script code to bulk convert gdal2tiles png to jpeg in my r.out.mbtiles addon script for GRASS 6:
