Hi, I server mostly aerial images with Mapserver and I know just a bit about styling. However, I believe you should read these docs http://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html http://mapserver.org/mapfile/class.html http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/style.html For Mapserver there is not difference where the data comes from so the postgis doc http://mapserver.org/input/vector/postgis.html is not very relevant. You can have several classes in a mapfile and classes can contain several styles. Layers, classes, and styles can all have scale denominators. Example showing many classes and styles per one database query http://latuviitta.org/tyylikirjasto/pg_roadsclose_10k_i.map This mapfile renders OSM highway layer. Geoserver supports using SQL queries for selecting data nowadays http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/database/sqlview.html The name "sqlview" is misleading. Geoserver implements the SLD standard and filter capabilities can be read from http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=1188 Geoserves also has a brand new CSS community module for styling http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/community/css/index.html CSS Regards, -Jukka Rahkonen- > greetings, > Stephan > -- > Seid unbequem, seid Sand, nicht Ãl im Getriebe der Welt! - Günther Eich > ,---------------------------------------------------------------------. > | Stephan Bösch-Plepelits, | > | Technische Universität Wien - Studien Informatik & Raumplanung | > | Projects: | > | > openstreetbrowser.org > couchsurfing.org > tubasis.at > bl.mud.at | > | Contact: | > | > Mail: [email protected] > Blog: plepe.at | > | > Twitter: twitter.com/plepe > Jabber: [email protected] | > `---------------------------------------------------------------------' > > _______________________________________________ > dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev > _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
