About:
Tippecanoe is a command-line utility for creating vector tilesets from GeoJSON data. It excels at building large, complex maps by creating zoom-level-specific features and clustering. The tool optimizes data for fast browsing and efficient storage in applications like web maps.
|
Key Features:
- Creates vector tiles from GeoJSON and other formats
- Generates overzoomed tiles and feature clusters
- Filters and rewrites features based on zoom level
- Includes utility tools for tile inspection and joining
|
Use Cases:
- Preparing large datasets for web mapping applications
- Optimizing tile size and performance for slippy maps
- Creating hierarchical views of geographic data
|
Alternatives:
-
ogr2ogr
– Part of GDAL; focuses on format conversion rather than tile optimization.
-
Planetiler
– Java-based alternative for generating vector tiles, often used for OpenStreetMap data.
