+#Management command to generate tiles using gheat.
+#
+#Must be given a bounding box by using options -s and -e (start and end)
+#
+#Example usage:
+#>>> python manage.py generate_tiles -s 60,6 -e 66,8 -c firetrans -v serve_tile
+#
+#Requires the globalmaptiles.py file. Get it from
+#http://www.maptiler.org/google-maps-coordinates-tile-bounds-projection/globalmaptiles.py
+#
+#Note: This command will NOT create tiles if they are empty. In order to do so, change
+#the gheat generate_tile view so that it creates empty tiles for each request given
+#x and y and zoom. This way you wan't have "holes" in the tile overlay if using
+#the static tiles instead of the usual django url/view.
