Package: rio-mbtiles
A plugin for theRasterio CLIthat exports a raster dataset to the MBTiles (version 1.3) format. Features
include automatic reprojection and concurrent tile generation.UsageUsage: rio mbtiles [OPTIONS] INPUT [OUTPUT]

  Export a dataset to MBTiles (version 1.3) in a SQLite file.

  The input dataset may have any coordinate reference system. It must have
  at least three bands, which will be become the red, blue, and green bands
  of the output image tiles.

  An optional fourth alpha band may be copied to the output tiles by using
  the --rgba option in combination with the PNG or WEBP formats. This option
  requires that the input dataset has at least 4 bands.

  The default quality for JPEG and WEBP output (possible range: 10-100) is
  75. This value can be changed with the use of the QUALITY creation option,
  e.g. `--co QUALITY=90`.  The default zlib compression level for PNG output
  (possible range: 1-9) is 6. This value can be changed like `--co
  ZLEVEL=8`.  Lossless WEBP can be chosen with `--co LOSSLESS=TRUE`.

  If no zoom levels are specified, the defaults are the zoom levels nearest
  to the one at which one tile may contain the entire source dataset.

  If a title or description for the output file are not provided, they will
  be taken from the input dataset's filename.

  This command is suited for small to medium (~1 GB) sized sources.

Options:
  -o, --output PATH               Path to output file (optional alternative to
                                  a positional arg).

  --append / --overwrite          Append tiles to an existing file or
                                  overwrite.

  --title TEXT                    MBTiles dataset title.
  --description TEXT              MBTiles dataset description.
  --overlay                       Export as an overlay (the default).
  --baselayer                     Export as a base layer.

  --tile-size INTEGER             Width and height of individual square tiles
                                  to create.  [default: 256]

  --zoom-levels MIN..MAX          A min...max range of export zoom levels. The
                                  default zoom level is the one at which the
                                  dataset is contained within a single tile.

  --image-dump PATH               A directory into which image tiles will be
                                  optionally dumped.

  -j INTEGER                      Number of workers (default: number of
                                  computer's processors).

  --src-nodata FLOAT              Manually override source nodata
  --dst-nodata FLOAT              Manually override destination nodata
  --resampling [nearest|bilinear|cubic|cubic_spline|lanczos|average|mode|gauss|max|min|med|q1|q3|rms]
                                  Resampling method to use.  [default:
                                  nearest]

  --version                       Show the version and exit.
  --rgba                          Select RGBA output. For PNG or WEBP only.
  --implementation [cf|mp]        Concurrency implementation. Use
                                  concurrent.futures (cf) or multiprocessing
                                  (mp).

  -#, --progress-bar              Display progress bar.
  --covers TEXT                   Restrict mbtiles output to cover a quadkey
  --cutline PATH                  Path to a GeoJSON FeatureCollection to be
                                  used as a cutline. Only source pixels within
                                  the cutline features will be exported.
