Hello List,

This question may be a general newbie GIS question and not solely related to Mapserver, so apologies if I'm posting to the wrong place.

I am serving a GeoTiff via Mapserver using WMS, and displaying it using OpenLayers, so far so good. I need to be able to click on a point on the map and display the value held within that particular Raster cell. Can anyone suggest what mechanism I should use for this? WCS looks like it might be the thing I need, but I'm having difficulty finding much in the way of examples and instructions. I've followed what examples there are and all I can get Mapserver to return using WCS, is a Geotiff with every pixel set to zero. So I've obviously not got it working correctly, and even if it were I'm not sure how to get the information I need out of the returned Geotiff when my client is OpenLayers.

Can anyone suggest a way to access a raster's values when it is served by Mapserver and viewed using OpenLayers?

Thank you

Andrew Mason
