[gdal-dev] How to convert a local GeoTIFF to a tile set with minimal WMTSCapabilities.xml?

[Stefan Keller]

Hi,

Update: I found not much so far regarding creation of WMTSCapabilities.xml...

There exists this free web tool http://wmts.maptiler.com/ which can
generate an XML given an URL.

Then it seems that UMN MapServer can also generate this XML given a
WMTS is configured with it's Mapfile.

That's it!

I'm still open for feedback on this tedious task which for sure could
be automated.
IMHO it would be a great extension especially to gdal2tiles.
