MetaCarta TileCache Disk Cache

The TileCache plugin provides access to a  MetaCarta TileCache disk cache. TileCache is a utility for automatically tiling and caching map data from a WMS (or other) web mapping data source. You can configure TileCache to store map tiles locally to disk. This driver will read the TileCache disk cache file structure directly.

This driver is handy for creating offline datasets from WMS data sources. You can use tilecache_seed.py (a utility that comes with TileCache?) to pre-populate the disk cache, then you can access it using this driver.
