niene/gdal2tiles-leaflet repository overview

⁠What is gdal2tiles-leaflet?

gdal2tiles-leaflet is developed by Commenthol See https://github.com/commenthol/gdal2tiles-leaflet⁠

It generates raster image tiles from a given image for the use with leaflet.

This is a modified version of gdal2tiles.py which adds support for raster images as plain 2D maps in leafletjs. It adds the option -l or --leaflet to generate the resulting images with the reference point [0,0] in the upper-left (North-West) corner, opposed to the standard behaviour for TMS tiles using the lower-left (South-East) corner.

Together with the small leafletjs plugin leaflet-rastercoords you'll be able to add markers at the correct position using the (x, y) coordinates of the full-size image.

This docker installs gdal2tiles-leaflet in a docker container so you can use docker to run the gdal2tiles-leaflet command.

⁠How to run as a docker command?

To run the docker gdal2tiles-leaflet command, run this command in the folder with your image. It links the current working directory to a folder called data in the docker container. Then run:

docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/data niene/gdal2tiles-leaflet -l -p raster -z 0-5 -w none /data/<image> /data/<tilesdir> 

The --rm flag removes the docker container and its volume after it is finished executing.
