I'm not an AGG expert but that's probably not the component in play here anyway. Presumably whatever the source imagery it would/should be considered a raster dataset. I guess I'd look into how GDAL deals with animated input and then figure out if that can be configured through MapServer. I guess it wouldn't surprise me if GDAL considered individual frames as bands. Maybe that's the way to think about.

I just went looking for what AGG stood for. Found some animation examples, but they were final constructs, not specifically clipping an existing animated image. What I was going to attempt, was to to try and set up a animated image from NOAA as a data source for Mapserver. They have the separate images available as well, which I would need to assemble after clipping into a image, Hmmm, maybe a layer per time index, ten hit that from the CGI through MapServer, then into a animated image for use in the map. Still sounds clunky though. bobb ________________________________ From: Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 4:05 PM To: Lime, Steve D (DNR) Subject: RE: Anaimated images as map sources bobb ________________________________ From: Lime, Steve D (DNR) Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 4:03 PM To: Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul); [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: Anaimated images as map sources Not that I'm aware of.

I found a refernce to it NOT owrking for a WMS to WMS call where the upstream WMS service would produce a Animated GIF, but the downstream Mapserver WMS client would only see (present) the first frame of the animation. Thanks bobb
