tiler

Create geographic and non-geographic map tiles

The tiler package provides a tile generator function for creating map tile sets for use with packages such as leaflet. In addition to generating map tiles based on a common raster layer source, it also handles the non-geographic edge case, producing map tiles from arbitrary images. These map tiles, which have a "simple CRS", a non-geographic simple Cartesian coordinate reference system, can also be used with leaflet when applying the simple CRS option.

Map tiles can be created from a input file with any of the following extensions: tif, grd and nc for spatial maps and png, jpg and bmp for basic images.
