Hi Even,

I thought over your answer again during the weekend. You give the right parameters to get a PNG image format; which is fine.

However, I do need to offer a GIF format support in order to be compliant to the "/DGIWG WMS profile"/ (OGC 09-102r3).
Indeed, requirement #6 says :

    /A DGIWG WMS server shall support the following raster formats for
    the GetMap operation /

      * /image/png, /
      * /image/gif, /
      * /image/jpeg/

Do you have any other advice / ideas?

- Tell DGIWG folks that the world has moved since the 90's and they should consider moving on ;-)

- add middleware between client and mapserver to request png8 to mapserver and convert it back to gif in the middleware

- probably easier: enhance mapserver to add back gif support


Sincerely
Philippe

    Thanks Even & Seth,

    I will give it a try

        I think `WITH_GIF` is only used to read in GIF images (for
        symbols etc.)?

        As Even wrote GDAL/GIF doesn't seem to work as an
        OUTPUTFORMAT. I get:

        msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named
        'countries'. msOGRFileNextShape(): OGR error. OGR
        GetNextFeature() error'd. Check logs

        Hi all,
        I am a little bit confused with GIF support for WMS/WMTS
        services.
        In several parts of the documentation, it is mentioned that
        GIF support is discarded with the end of the "GD library"
        support.

        I noticed the compilation option in CMakelists.txt :
        option(WITH_GIF "Enable GIF support (for PIXMAP loading)" ON)
        I do not understand the "for PIXMAP loading" comment.

        Anyway, our mapserver does not server WMS/WMTS tiles in GIF
        format.

        So here are my few questions :

          * is GIF support enabled by default for WMS/WMTS services ?

        no

          * do I need to add the option : -DWITH_GIF=ON for cmake
            configuration ?

        only to load raster symbols in GIF format

         *
            do I need to add a specific mapserver configuration, like :
            OUTPUTFORMAT
               NAME "GIF"
               DRIVER GDAL/GIF
               MIMETYPE "image/GIF"
               IMAGEMODE RGB
               EXTENSION "gif"
            END

        I don't think that will work. The GDAL GIF driver already
        expects paletted data, not RGB.  And I don't think switching
        IMAGEMODE to PC256 would work since that support has
        effectively gone.

        I believe the only option to get paletted data is to use PNG8
        with the AGG/PNG8 driver and MIMETYPE="image/png; mode=8bit"

        Even


        Thanks for your help and advices
        Philippe
