[Qgis-developer] how can i use my own map tiles in qgis?

[leena S]

okey this is really confusing i dont know if am in the right track i just
need a direction where to start with;
all what am trying to do is loading my own offline tiles into qgis to be
able to zoom in and out pan ..etc instead of implementing everything from
scratch;

so this is all what i have been doing:
1) i converted my geotiff to tiles through gdal2tiles and i got my tiles
which is a set of files, and as i mentioned in my last email this is how my
folder looks like:

= 5 (zoom level 5)
==> 20 (x)
===> 18.png (y)
.
.
.
= 13 (zoom level 13)
==> 5253 (x)
===> 4618.png (y)

now i wanna know if i can load my tiles without using tilecache or
mapserver coz as i said i dont need to view my map as a web based
application;

can u tell me how did you manage to make it work with the following xml
file ?

<GDAL_WMS>
     <Service name="TMS">
         <ServerUrl>file:///mytiles/${z}/${x}/${y}.png</ServerUrl>
     </Service>
     <DataWindow>
         <UpperLeftX>-20037508.34</UpperLeftX>
         <UpperLeftY>20037508.34</UpperLeftY>
         <LowerRightX>20037508.34</LowerRightX>
         <LowerRightY>-20037508.34</LowerRightY>

         <TileLevel>18</TileLevel>
         <TileCountX>1</TileCountX>
         <TileCountY>1</TileCountY>
         <YOrigin>top</YOrigin>
     </DataWindow>

     <Projection>EPSG:900913</Projection>
     <BlockSizeX>256</BlockSizeX>
     <BlockSizeY>256</BlockSizeY>
     <BandsCount>3</BandsCount>
     <Cache />
  </GDAL_WMS>

what configuration did u use to make it work ?
