hello,
I need help selecting a datasource to produce the following: a basic,
high-resolution land map, showing ONLY coastlines and bodies of water.
basically, Im trying to emulate a type of image tiling that I found on another
site, which I believe is also being produced using mapserver, but Im unsure
about which data source/shapefile is being used.
Ive ATTACHED the image.
You can see that image includes a high-resolution map of the florida coast,
including interior bodies of water.
Ive tried using the "admin98.shp" and "world_vector_shorelines.shp" in order to
recreate these results, but these two shapefiles dont include interior bodies
of water (lakes, ponds, etc.). Ive ALSO tried using the gshhs shapefiles
(http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/gshhs.html), and these *seem* like
they might work, but they are broken up into separate shapefiles for coastal
outline, lakes, ponds, etc., and these shapefiles are IN LINES instead of
POLYGONS/POLYLINES, so I cannot figure out how to "fill" the space between
"lines" with a different color in order to make the landmasses and interior
bodies of water "stand out".
So, simply put, my question is: can someone please help me figure out /
recommend which data source I should use in order to produce output similiar to
the image Ive attached? just high-resolution coastal outline and interior
bodies of water IN decimal degrees (WGS1984?), please help....
P.Romero
