This application's aim to is to create files that stores a big picture in a way that can easily be open by a memory starved computers (i.e. mobile devices).

It does so by opening the picture and cutting it into small tiles. It then shrink the pictures in half and cut that into tiles and so on until the picture is shrinked smaller than a single tile. It stores the tiles in a directory per shrinkage layer, and stores those directories as well as a couple of meta information in a tar archive.

The tar archive is readable by the tileSource package.

It uses parts of a "Big Java Tree" TAR package.
