any way to create tiles in Mapguide

[Anonymous]

I have two Questions -
1. I need to tile a big tiff image into smaller images. I used FME - Raster Tiler to do that. However it changed the color and the resolution
Is there any tool within mapguide to generate tiles?

2. I use Raster Workshop to create RIC - raster image catalog file. When I click Add To end to add the file, it says 'Adding file references' and then it just crashes. And then i get error - Memory could not be read. I tried minimizing the size tiles etc. but it didnt work.

Pl help

Thanks a lot

You may be able to use an open source utility called GDAL to do that.

http://www.gdal.org/

You can download a full Windows package that includes GDAL and a bunch
of other useful stuff as part of FWTools:

A MapGuide 6.x RIC is just a text file containing a list of files with
their bounding coordinates. This is moderately easy to build using FME
to directly read the image bounds, or you could use another GDAL tool
gdaltindex) to generate a shapefile with the extents of your images, and
run that through FME.

Not that if you're doing this for MapGuide Enterprise, it doesn't read
RICs; it uses an XML-based config file to store the image boundaries.
