Just search about image manipulation. Combine this with a class that calculates tile coordinates and your set. One thing, to make sure you dont use up to much server resources create some kind of caching. Save every tile you generate to the server and regenerate them when they change. This is rather dependand on how much the data changes tho.
Be weary tho, i've created tiles for a historical map for my home city, leiden (about 100k residents, not that big), and that was about 110 MB of data. If you cache everything for half the US for those zoom levels, you might be looking at a LOT of data. 2009/2/2 MikeD - Austin, TX <[email protected]> > > Yes.
