I see. Just for curiosity: why was png/gd dropped and wouldn't it be an idea to add an option to generate automatically a palette for png 8? Paletted output is still very useful for choropleth maps.

GD is for GIF only in 6.0+. To get paletted output you can set:

-IMAGETYPE GIF (GD-based)

-IMAGETYPE PNG (AGG 8-bit)

-Setup an output format with like Rich G. mentioned

-Setup an output format that forces use of a pre-defined palette

OUTPUTFORMAT

    NAME png8

    DRIVER "AGG/PNG"

    MIMETYPE "image/png"

    IMAGEMODE RGB

    EXTENSION "png"

    FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"

    FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"

FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/usr/local/mapserver/apps/mr/compass/compass.palette"

END

Happy New Year, all.

I'm porting my applications from MapServer 5.7 to 6.0.1, and I am unable to get 8-bit palette output. The MapScript commands are:

    $oMap->outputformat->set('driver','GD/PNG');
    $oMap->outputformat->set('imagemode',MS_IMAGEMODE_PC256);

which give me the following warning, and no image:

*Warning*: mapObj::draw() [mapobj.draw <http://mapserver.sara.nl/calligo/zl/maps/k1832/mapobj.draw>]: [MapServer Error]: agg2CreateImage(): AGG2 driver only supports RGB or RGBA pixel models

I tried every combination I coud think of, with GIF and GDAL, and got always the same result. MapServer was compiled with gd-support:

MapServer version 6.0.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Any idea, someone?
