NAME¶

mapproxy-util - commandline tool for MapProxy

SYNOPSIS¶

mapproxy-util
subcommand [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION¶

mapproxy-util provides sub-commands that are helpful when working with MapProxy.

To get a list of all sub-commands call:


mapproxy-util

To call a sub-command:


mapproxy-util subcommand

Each sub-command provides additional information:


mapproxy-util subcommand --help

The current sub-commands are:

•: create
•: serve-develop
•: serve-multiapp-develop
•: scales
•: wms-capabilities
•: grids
•: export
•: autoconfig (see mapproxy-util-autoconfig(1))

CREATE¶

This sub-command creates example configurations for you. There are templates for each configuration file.

-l, --list-templates: List names of all available configuration templates.
-t name, --template name: Create a configuration with the named template.
-f mapproxy.yaml, --mapproxy-conf mapproxy.yaml: The path to the MapProxy configuration. Required for some templates.
--force: Overwrite any existing configuration with the same output filename.

CONFIGURATION TEMPLATES¶

Available templates are:

base-config:: Creates an example mapproxy.yaml and seed.yaml file. You need to pass the destination directory to the command.
log-ini:: Creates an example logging configuration. You need to pass the target filename to the command.
wsgi-app:: Creates an example server script for the given MapProxy configuration (--f/--mapproxy-conf). You need to pass the target filename to the command.

EXAMPLE¶


mapproxy-util create -t base-config ./

SERVE-DEVELOP¶

This sub-command starts a MapProxy instance of your configuration as a stand-alone server.

You need to pass the MapProxy configuration as an argument. The server will automatically reload if you change the configuration or any of the MapProxy source code.

-b address, --bind address: The server address where the HTTP server should listen for incoming connections. Can be a port (:8080), a host (localhost) or both (localhost:8081). The default is localhost:8080. You need to use 0.0.0.0 to be able to connect to the server from external clients.

EXAMPLE¶


mapproxy-util serve-develop ./mapproxy.yaml

SERVE-MULTIAPP-DEVELOP¶

This sub-command is similar to serve-develop but it starts a MultiMapProxy instance.

You need to pass a directory of your MapProxy configurations as an argument. The server will automatically reload if you change any configuration or any of the MapProxy source code.

-b address, --bind address: The server address where the HTTP server should listen for incoming connections. Can be a port (:8080), a host (localhost) or both (localhost:8081). The default is localhost:8080. You need to use 0.0.0.0 to be able to connect to the server from external clients.

EXAMPLE¶


mapproxy-util serve-multiapp-develop my_projects/

SCALES¶

This sub-command helps to convert between scales and resolutions.

Scales are ambiguous when the resolution of the output device (LCD, printer, mobile, etc) is unknown and therefore MapProxy only uses resolutions for configuration. You can use the scales sub-command to calculate between known scale values and resolutions.

The command takes a list with one or more scale values and returns the corresponding resolution value.

--unit <m|d>: Return resolutions in this unit per pixel (default meter per pixel).
-l n, --levels n: Calculate resolutions for n levels. This will double the resolution of the last scale value if n is larger than the number of the provided scales.
-d dpi, --dpi dpi: The resolution of the output display to use for the calculation. You need to set this to the same value of the client/server software you are using. Common values are 72 and 96. The default value is the equivalent of a pixel size of .28mm, which is around 91 DPI. This is the value the OGC uses since the WMS 1.3.0 specification.
--as-res-config: Format the output so that it can be pasted into a MapProxy grid configuration.
--res-to-scale: Calculate from resolutions to scale.

EXAMPLE¶

For multiple levels as MapProxy configuration snippet:


mapproxy-util scales -l 4 --as-res-config 100000


res: [
     #  res            level        scale
       28.0000000000, #  0      100000.00000000
       14.0000000000, #  1       50000.00000000
        7.0000000000, #  2       25000.00000000
        3.5000000000, #  3       12500.00000000
]

With multiple scale values and custom DPI:


mapproxy-util scales --dpi 96 --as-res-config \
    100000 50000 25000 10000


res: [
     #  res            level        scale
       26.4583333333, #  0      100000.00000000
       13.2291666667, #  1       50000.00000000
        6.6145833333, #  2       25000.00000000
        2.6458333333, #  3       10000.00000000
]

WMS-CAPABILITIES¶

This sub-command parses a valid capabilities document from a URL and displays all available layers.

This tool does not create a MapProxy configuration, but the output should help you to set up or modify your MapProxy configuration.

The command takes a valid URL GetCapabilities URL.

--host URL: Display all available Layers for this service. Each new layer will be marked with a hyphen and all sublayers are indented.
--version versionnumber: Parse the Capabilities-document for the given version. Only version 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 are supported. The default value is 1.1.1.

EXAMPLE¶

With the following MapProxy layer configuration:


layers:
  - name: osm
    title: Omniscale OSM WMS - osm.omniscale.net
    sources: [osm_cache]
  - name: foo
    title: Group Layer
    layers:

GRIDS¶

This sub-command displays information about configured grids.

The command takes a MapProxy configuration file and returns all configured grids.

Furthermore, default values for each grid will be displayed if they are not defined explicitly. All default values are marked with an asterisk in the output.

-f path/to/config, --mapproxy-config path/to/config: Display all configured grids for this MapProxy configuration with detailed information. If this option is not set, the sub-command will try to use the last argument as the mapproxy config.
-l, --list: Display only the names of the grids for the given configuration, which are used by any grid.
--all: Show also grids that are not referenced by any cache.
-g grid_name, --grid grid_name: Display information only for a single grid. The tool will exit, if the grid name is not found.
-c coverage name, --coverage coverage name: Display an approximation of the number of tiles for each level that are within this coverage. The coverage must be defined in Seed configuration.
-s seed.yaml, --seed-conf seed.yaml: This option loads the seed configuration and is needed if you use the --coverage option.

EXPORT¶

This sub-command exports tiles from one cache to another. This is similar to the seed tool, but you don't need to edit the configuration. The destination cache, grid and the coverage can be defined on the command line.

Required arguments:

-f path, --mapproxy-conf path: The path to the MapProxy configuration of the source cache.
--source name: Name of the source or cache to export.
--levels list: Comma separated list of levels to export. You can also define a range of levels. For example '1,2,3,4,5', '1..10' or '1,3,4,6..8'.
--grid grid: The tile grid for the export. The option can either be the name of the grid as defined in the in the MapProxy configuration, or it can be the grid definition itself. You can define a grid as a single string of the key-value pairs. The grid definition supports all grid parameters. See below for examples.
--dest destination: Destination of the export. Can be a filename, directory or URL, depending on the export --type.
--type type: Choose the export type. See below for a list of all options.

Other options:

--fetch-missing-tiles: If MapProxy should request missing tiles from the source. By default, the export tool will only existing tiles.
--coverage coverage, --srs srs, --where where: Limit the export to this coverage. You can use a BBOX, WKT files or OGR datasources.
-c N, --concurrency N: The number of concurrent export processes.

EXPORT TYPES¶

tms:: Export tiles in a TMS like directory structure.
mapproxy, tc: Export tiles like the internal cache directory structure. This is compatible with TileCache.
mbtile: Exports tiles into a MBTile file.
arcgis: Exports tiles in a ArcGIS exploded cache directory structure.

EXAMPLE¶

Export tiles into a TMS directory structure under ./cache/. Limit export to the BBOX and levels 0 to 6.


mapproxy-util export -f mapproxy.yaml --grid osm_grid \
    --source osm_cache --dest ./cache/ \
    --levels 1..6 --coverage 5,50,10,60 --srs 4326

Export tiles into an MBTiles file. Limit export to a shape coverage.


mapproxy-util export -f mapproxy.yaml --grid osm_grid \
    --source osm_cache --dest osm.mbtiles --type mbtile \
    --levels 1..6 --coverage boundaries.shp \
    --where 'CNTRY_NAME = "Germany"' --srs 3857

Export tiles into an MBTiles file using a custom grid definition.


mapproxy-util export -f mapproxy.yaml --levels 1..6 \
    --grid "srs='EPSG:4326' bbox=[5,50,10,60] tile_size=[512,512]" \
    --source osm_cache --dest osm.mbtiles --type mbtile
