Tiling Tiles across a map

Is there a way to put a tile on the map, and then have it fill up the rest of the map with that tile.  I'm thinking about windows background, and how you can stretch it or have it tile.  Currently I know that there's the stretch option, but is there a similar tile option?

Might be able to make an API to do it, but there's no way short of that. What I did for a massive arena map my campaign has is I copied the first tile, then copied those two, then those 4, etc until I had a whole row or column filled, then I just copied a column, then those 2 columns, etc.
It's one of those areas where it's still a little easier to just do in a graphics program and import it in.
Hmmm, might be an idea for further improvement ;)

As you have a Pro subscription the general answer to most things that aren't 'core' to the VTT is: "The Aaron has a script for that!" This of course is no exception .

There are a few API scripts for this, as an example: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2283776/script-d" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2283776/script-d</a>... Its something I play around with.
