Specifying a File Naming Method

If you are tiling the export area, a file naming method to define how the base filename will be created for each file must be provided. The following describes each available file naming method:

Increment Number from S-N then W-E (Start Number = 0)

2 5 8
1 4 7
0 3 6

Increment Number from W-E then S-N (Start Number = 0)

6 7 8
3 4 5
0 1 2

File Name from Row and Column (Row_Col)

2_0 2_1 2_2
1_0 1_1 1_2
0_0 0_1 0_2

File Name from Column and Row (Col_Row)

0_2 1_2 2_2
0_1 1_1 2_1
0_0 1_0 2_0

File Name from Lower Left Corner (X_Y)

Each tile's lower left corner x and y coordinates are rounded to the nearest whole number and concatenated into the filename.
