Hello list, As a complete newcomer to WMS Im looking to make a decision as to which WMS is best suited for my requirements.
With this in mind I have a question on MapServer in relation to one of my requirements. How easy is it use mapserver for the following: I would like to use MapServer to serve a simple map depicting parts of the world and capital cities. The region to be covered would be defined as would the required projection. On to this background I would like to be able to draw a great circle between two of the cities on the fly and have all visible entities (coastline, cities and Great Circle) correctly rendered for the specified projection. Assuming that country and city information was available in a useable format e.g. ShapeFile and the http request indicated the bounding region and the two cities that need to be linked by a great circle how easy would this be to do in MapServer? The part that I am completely ignorant in is the rendering of the great circle between the two sets of lat/long keeping in mind that this part (the required pair of cities) would potentially be different for each request. Any indication as to how easy this is to do or how to go about doing it would be greatly received.
