[OSM-dev] Generate tiles with generate_tiles.py

[Vince Berubey]

To get the bounding box values from the Export tab might not the best options for us. Is there any way to get this automatically. Like a query to a table to would return the values?
Best regards.

Hi,I would be grateful if someone could help me with this.
I use generate_tyles.py to create tiles. But, in the script you need to write the bounding box values of the region from where you want to generate the tiles. Since, I was using an example I found online, they were providing these values. But, for example, if I want to get the bounding box values of Paris, how do I get them?

    bbox = (-180.0,-90.0, 180.0,90.0) <---    render_tiles(bbox, mapfile, tile_dir, 0, 5, "Paris")


for kicks, try this for a start

bbox = (2.2192,48.7686, 2.4747,48.9491) 

You could use the export tab on openstreetmap.org (and the manually select a different area, option) to find another bounding box that you like.
