The difference between XYZ and TMS tiles and how to convert between them

Lots of tile-based maps use either the XYZ or TMS scheme. These are the maps that have tiles ending in /0/0/0.png or something. Sometimes if it's a script, it'll look like &z=0&y=0&x=0 instead. Anyway, these are usually maps in Spherical Mercator.

Good examples are OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, MapBox, MapQuest, etc. Lots of maps.

Most of those are in XYZ. The best documentation for that is slippy map tilenames on the OSM Wiki, and Klokan's Tiles a la Google.

A short code excerpt from this visualization I created for the longform article “Iouri Podladtchikov – You only fly once” by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

It's a very simple way to create an interactive animation based on video material. Hover over the image to go through the animation.

I used Final Cut Pro to crop and export the frames of a short video sequence, which I then stitched together into a single film strip using ImageMagick: convert folder-of-stills/* +append filmstrip.jpg
