Doesn't this make INTRNAL tiles?
yes, i was just giving one possible solution using internal tiles.
gdal_translate can be used to cut out sections of a image to create
individual tiles
I have a large global dataset that i would like to break into smaller
tiles (individual files, not internal tiles). I know this can be done
with imagemagick but that rout seems rather complicated, isnt there
some gdal utility out there that i can use.
Sorry for yet another repost, solution:
## Create internal tiles
gdal_translate -co TILED=YES old.tif new_tiled.tif
## cut out a chunk of an image, assigning appropriate georeferencing
## as always gdal uses top left and lower right corners of the image
gdal_translate -srcwin 0 0 2000 2000 in.tif out_0_0.tif
gdal_translate -srcwin 2000 0 2000 2000 in.tif out_1_0.tif
