geopackage-python : Python-based tools for creating OGC GeoPackages.

GeoPackage Specification from the Open Geospatial Consortium

Table Of Contents

• Installing Dependencies (Windows, Linux)
• How to use the tiling script, gdal2tiles_parallel.py
• How to use the packaging script, tiles2gpkg_parallel.py
• Running unit tests on tiles2gpkg_parallel.py

In addition to the above documentation, the following features are added in this fork

• Added optional -maxlvl [number] parameter. Tiles level smaller or equal to this number will be packaged.
• Added optional -tm ['swiss_lv03', swiss_lv05] parameter. Enables custom non-regular tile matrix (eCH-0056 or custom ESRI Tile Cache).
• Added ability to package ESRI Exploded Tile Cache.
• The Script configures the Geopackage with the Conf.xml file from ESRI Tile Cache format automatically.
• Added ability to package tiles stored in a s3 bucket. Use s3:// to package s3 directory.
• Ability to give an initial extent for the content (for zoom to layer functions in common GIS).
• Added ability to package tiles stored in ESRI Compact Cache V2 Bundles.

###Examples

All levels of an exploded ArcGIS Cache (Script reads Conf.xml file from Cache).

• python.exe tiles2gpkg_parallel.py -initialextent minX,minY,maxX,maxY \path_to_arcgis_cache\Layers_alllayers geopackage.gpkg

First 19 levels of an exploded ArcGIS Cache (Script reads Conf.xml file from Cache).

• python.exe tiles2gpkg_parallel.py -maxlvl 19 -initialextent minX,minY,maxX,maxY \path_to_arcgis_cache\Layers_alllayers geopackage.gpkg

First 21 levels of a WMTS whose tiles are stored in Amazon S3 + custom initial extent.

• tiles2gpkg_parallel.py -initialextent 2375000,980000,2998000,1421000 -maxlvl 21 -srs 2056 -tm swiss_lv95 -tileorigin ul s3://wts_instance_name/1.0.0/my_layer_name/default/timestamp/21781 geopackage.gpkg
