Export to Multiple Tiles
Export to Multiple Tiles creates tiles of the current view which are saved in a single folder. You can create tiles in various sizes and in various formats.
Selecting Export to Multiple Tiles will display the Export Tiles dialog:
Tile naming convention - The naming convention to use for the exported tiles. Use the ... button to set-up the chosen tile naming convention.
For example when using OS (GB) BaseData GB you have these two options available.
 BaseData GB dialog.png)
The options available from the Extension drop-down box in this dialog are:
- bds
- bmp
- gif
- jpg
- png
- sgf
- tif
- webp
- wmf
Note: The options; bmp, gif, jpg, png, tif and webp will display the following Bitmap dialog:
- Pixel Size - Select if the output size is to be specified in terms of co-ordinate system units.
- Output File Width/Height - Select if the output size is to be specified in terms of bitmap pixels.
- Monochrome - Check tickbox if a monochrome bitmap is to be created instead of using the screen's colour depth.
For TIF format there is an additional tickbox in the Bitmap dialog; 'Normalised' GeoTIFF. Check this tickbox if the GeoTIFF metadata is to be 'normalised', i.e. written in full instead of using EPSG codes.
See Export to Multiple Tiles for more details.
