Is there an app that generates chunks for Minecraft maps using a command line?
I'm looking for an application that takes a seed and some parameters (such as X,Z coords and radius etc) and builds the files that contain chuck data. I want this so that I can load a large area and then upload this to a map generator site like so that I can see a large area of the map before I play the game.

I'd recommend the program 'Amidst'. It scans a world or builds from a seed to show what the world will look like: biomes, structures, etc.
You can see as much of the map as you want, as far as you want. It's not amazingly detailed, but every biome is shown.
Minecraft Land Generator does this, though it requires a server jar and although it says it was updated 6/1/12, the forum thread and the github page do not mention whether it is compatible with the current server versions.
Alternatively, you can use MCedit to pre-generate chunks. It's not as automatic as a command line tool, but its chunk control features can generate chunks within a selection.
