Pietro, Mapserver uses gdal to read grids, and thus, the type of grid is controlled by your gdal configuration options.
The following command line will tell you the formats your install supports: gdalinfo --formats More info on the mapserver docs: http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data I have successfully loaded a raster grid in the past, and your proposed approach seems fairly straightforward.

I generate a regular grid of georeferenced values (floats) and I want to display this values as raster, classifying the values using a colorrange. Can mapserver read an ascii grid as datasource? if not, in your experience which format is the best? thanks for any hint. ciao ..................................................pg -- Pietro Giannini Bytewise srl - Area GIS 41°50'38.58"N 12°29'13.39"E _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
