[mapserver-users] MapCache Larger tiles, reduce number of files

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Jean-Philippe,

I don't think it works like that. Resolution is determined by zoom 
factor so you generate  metatile at that resolution then you chop that 
metatile in tiles of whatever size you specify. So resolution is 
controled by zoom not tile size.
