[mapserver-users] Cutting up large Rasters

[Ed McNierney]

Steve's right about chopping things up, but you should be sure you
really need to do that.  Can you describe the image (file format, size
in pixels in each dimension, pixel depth)?  Remember that "opening" an
image is not the same as loading the whole thing into memory...

Is there a utility that will help me cut up a very large georeferenced
image into many smaller ones (using a shapefile I presume) so that I can
then create tile index and avoid opening the giant image everytime ?
