Hi everyone I have some scanned paper maps that had register in mapinfo.
I want to show those images with Mapserver and for that i need to generate a "world file". �Any one have an idea on howto do this world file in mapinfo? What follows in the description of a world file based on Mapserver documentation: World files are a simple mechanism for associating georeferencing (world coordinates) information with raster files. ESRI was the first company to propagate the use of world files, and they often used with TIFF instead of embedding georeferencing information in the file itself. The world file contents look like the following. The first coefficient is the X pixel size. The second and third are rotational coefficients (and should normally be NULL). The fourth is the Y pixel size, normally negative indicating that Y decreases as you move down from the top left origin. The final two values are the X and Y location of the center of the top left pixel. This example is for an image with a 2m x 2m pixel size, and a top left origin at (356800E, 5767999N). 2 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 -2 356800.00 5767999.00 The name of the world file is based on the file it relates to. For instance, the world file for aerial.tif might be aerial.tfw. Conventions vary for appropriate endings, but with MapServer the extension .wld is always OK for world files.
