[FWTools] Chopping a georeferenced raster into tiles

[Roger Andre]

Hi Ross,

I don't think there is one in FWTools.  All of the information needed
to chop an image into smaller pieces can be gleaned out of gdalinfo
output and fed into gdal_translate, but it takes some scripting to tie
them together.  Are you familiar with any scripting languages?

As an aside, for the list.  This question has come up a bunch of times
in the past.  I wrote a fairly clumsy tool in Perl that allows the
user to specify a tile size, and which then chops the image into tiles
that have X and Y values of the specified size.  Would it make sense
to port an improved version to Python and include it as a utility in
later FWTools releases?

Roger
