Had been using John Coryat's Perl tilecutter script to create map tiles, but the project lead decided to try the Photoshop tilecutter script found in the mapki a try (found here: http://mapki.com/wiki/Automatic_Tile_Cutter). He now prefers the mapki script for a few reasons, but there is a problem:
The Photoshop script doesn't generate tiles for areas of PNG images that are completely transparent, which is fine. But there are several tiles that are not being created even though they contain non- transparent elements, even though these non-transparent elements may only comprise a small fraction of the overall tile. Anyone have any experience with the Photoshop tilecutter script? Has this happened to anyone else? Adding a drop-shadow to the image before using the tilecutter script seems to solve the problem, but it'd be nice to fix the problem for future use. Examples of problem: First, a how the map should look: http://tiger.towson.edu/users/preese2/campusmap/templates/with_tile.html How the map looks after dropping some tiles: http://tiger.towson.edu/users/preese2/campusmap/templates/without_tile.html Tile in question: http://tiger.towson.edu/users/preese2/campusmap/imagetiles/17/x37645_y49908.png Any thoughts? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
