World map tile size calculation formula confusion

Actually we are using 5cm resolution LIDAR topographic data, not World Machine. I have 437 files in Little-Endian .raw/.r16 format. At the moment our current tile size is 1009x1009.

I’m in the middle of coding an in-house tool. Because I have to code in the calculations I can’t merely “ignore those values”. I have to fully understand what they are and where they come from. I’m familiar with the scaling system and I don’t see how they relate at this point to specific pixel counts.

I know you are from the Netherlands and English/American is not your primary language but the spelling errors and some of the grammar has made it difficult for me to fully understand your reply. Correcting to the best of my ability I get your response to be:

Please note in my question I was trying to find out if the values are correct, and if so how were they calculated. I did not request information on scaling, the use of World-Machine, importing data maps, etc. In making decisions on file sizes I need accurate information and I had a valid concern about the quality of what was being presented. Saying that I should "pick what I want’ avoids the question posed and is professionally irresponsible to my team, my company, and myself. I have a background in technical and legal certification and quality quality control in both hardware and software in products foreign and domestic. I’m *quite *sensitive to my responsiblities.
