Need to visualize a rather large (gigabytes+) raster? This is for you.

A Python package for serving tiles from large raster files in the Slippy Maps standard (i.e., /zoom/x/y.png) for visualization in Jupyter with ipyleaflet or folium.

Launch a demo on MyBinder

Documentation: https://localtileserver.banesullivan.com/

Built on rio-tiler

• Launch a tile server for large geospatial images
• View local or remote* raster files with ipyleaflet or folium in Jupyter
• View rasters with CesiumJS with the built-in web application

*remote raster files should be pre-tiled Cloud Optimized GeoTiffs

Usage details and examples can be found in the documentation: https://localtileserver.banesullivan.com/

The following is a minimal example to visualize a local raster file with ipyleaflet:

from localtileserver import get_leaflet_tile_layer, TileClient
from ipyleaflet import Map
# First, create a tile server from local raster file
client = TileClient('path/to/geo.tif')
# Create ipyleaflet tile layer from that server
t = get_leaflet_tile_layer(client)
m = Map(center=client.center(), zoom=client.default_zoom)
m.add(t)
m

The TileClient class can be used to to launch a tile server in a background thread which will serve raster imagery to a viewer (usually ipyleaflet or folium in Jupyter notebooks).

This tile server can efficiently deliver varying resolutions of your raster imagery to your viewer; it helps to have pre-tiled, Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs).

There is an included, standalone web viewer leveraging CesiumJS.

Get started with localtileserver to view rasters in Jupyter or deploy as your own Flask application.

Conda makes managing localtileserver's dependencies across platforms quite easy and this is the recommended method to install:

conda install -c conda-forge localtileserver

If you prefer pip, then you can install from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/localtileserver/

pip install localtileserver
