Example of World File


Does any body have an example of map world file, where it shows the input parameters including the latitude and longitude and the output world file.

I Google for world file, I found an explanation but I didn't see a full example.

Thanking you.


Solution

  • See this page:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file

    It explains the format very well and it has also a World file example in UTM coordinate system. It is typically a text file with extension .wld and 6 lines such as:

    32.0
    0.0
    0.0
    -32.0
    691200.0
    4576000.0
    

    You have on your question the tag "maptiler". If you want to create Google Maps compatible tiles with MapTiler then you don't need to define the World file, there are now also other options for how to assign location to an image. See http://www.maptiler.com/how-to/georeferencing/
