  A list control of WMS layers that can be selected for output. The selected layers will be composited into the output tiles in the zoom levels specified between the start and stop zoom level ranges in the respective layer columns. Click in the start and stop level cells next to the layer name to change the cell values.
• Select All
  
  When this button is clicked all the layers in the Layers To Process list control will be checked on.

  When this button is clicked all the layers in the Layers To Process list control will be checked off.
  
  
• Please Select The Output Tile Format
  
  A dropdown list control that displays the supported output static tile cache formats.

• The Layer To Use For The Cutline
  
  A drop down list box that contains a list of polygon vector layers in the Map View window that can be used as a cutline source for the operation.

  Select this option to include all pixels in the tile cache that intersect or are completely within the interior of the cutline geometry. Pixels that do not intersect the cutline geometry will be nulled out (set to transparent).
