Overview

   This factory splits each input point cloud feature into a series of tiles. 
   The input point cloud can be split up by specifying either a tile size or a 
   number of tiles.

   The TILE_WIDTH and TILE_HEIGHT clauses specify the tile size. These values 
   must be greater than 0.

   XSEED and YSEED are optional parameters that specify a "seed point" from 
   which tiles will be generated. These may only be used with TILE_WIDTH and 
   TILE_HEIGHT. Note that it is permissible to specify a value for only one of 
   these parameters.

   The NUM_HORIZONTAL_TILES and NUM_VERTICAL_TILES clauses specify the number of 
   tiles into which the input point clouds will be split. These values must be 
   greater than 0.

   If the TILE_ROW_ATTRIBUTE and TILE_COLUMN_ATTRIBUTE clauses are specified, 
   attributes will be added to each output tile that identify the position of 
   that tile in the input point cloud. These indices are zero-based. Tile row 0, 
   tile column 0 corresponds to the bottom-left tile.

   Attributes will be carried across from the INPUT features to the respective 
   TILES features.
