Generate ocean tiles for the whole globe on all zoom levels (with --area)

[adjourn]

Let's say you only need to generate a map for single country or continent.
Ocean tiles are generated only for the tiles where the country/continent fits into.

Since I need to allow camera pitch and it would be nice to have a little more room for panning than few pixels from boundaries..

Any suggestions how to satisfy the second point?

• Generate selected country/continent with OSM data (✔️)
• Generate Natural Earth ocean tiles for the whole globe for every zoom level (❌)

Could you use an OSM extract but then set --bounds=world or something from https://boundingbox.klokantech.com so that the global datasets (water, natural earth, etc) get clipped to a bigger region?

That did indeed work, thank you very much for your help!

@msbarry Apologies for dragging this subject on but quick question.. World seems a bit overkill since I plan to clamp the panning to certain area anyway. I assume --bounds also takes a bounding box, if true, what format does it accept?

[msbarry]

Yep it takes comma separated string with format west,south,east,north like https://boundingbox.klokantech.com/ generates with "CSV" mode. You can also pass in a ".poly" file to --polygon argument that will clip to an irregular shape.
