I am working on the stand alone java based application that loads up the images of anywhere from 2GB to 30 GB.
1) I read the documentation, and found out the tilecache can be done using GDAL utilities, please see below an example - Usage: gdaltindex [-tileindex field_name] index_file [gdal_file]* eg. % gdaltindex doq_index.shp doq/*.tif 2) Is this the correct way of breaking an image into tiles? I see that the image in converted into the shape files and not in a bunch of image tiles. Am I doing something wrong here? 3) I also looked at openlayers, it wouldn't fit my requirements as it is all javascript and my application is a stand alone java based application, so I would need some java API to view these tiles. Any help is much appreciated.
