Can I create and write PMTiles file directly in C++?

Can I directly create pmtiles files? I do not want to create mbtiles file first. Is there any API for this? thanks.

Yes use http://github.com/felt/tippecanoe to create pmtiles directly

Thank you. But I have write a library to make tiles from many images at once in C++ and save them to various formats. I want to save tiles in PMTiles format directly.

Then you can use the header file https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles/blob/main/cpp/pmtiles.hpp in your program, that's what tippecanoe uses. though you need to bring your own I/O and compression

Thank you. I will check this header file.
