[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Raster Analysis and MapServer

[Fischer, Brian]

MapServer users,   I have a project that I would like to generate raster data on the fly and use MapServer to display the results.  I am curious if anyone else has tried this.  If so what tools did you use to do the raster analysis and how did it work?  Let me explain more about the process.   1. Someone would go to a web page and click a button to start the process. 2. Some tool would create raster1 from a line vector file (contours) (need a contour to raster algorithm) 3. Some tool would do a raster calculation (raster1 minus raster2) to produce a final raster 4. MapServer would display the final raster.   I need all of this process to happen over the web.  I think I can use GRASS to do the raster analysis, but I am curious if anyone else has done this sort of thing.  My other option is to go to ESRI’s ArcGISServer (which I don’t want to do, if I don’t have to).  Are there any other tools available to do raster analysis (spatial analysis) on the web?   Any insight would be helpful.   Thanks, Brian   Brian Fischer, GIS Specialist/Programmer Houston Engineering, Inc. | Leave Nothing to ChanceTM 10900 73rd AVE N, Suite 106 Maple Grove, MN 55369 Phone:  763.493.4522 / Fax:  763.493.5572 Email:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: www.houstonengineeringinc.com
