Does anyone know a trick to do this:
I'm making geographical indexes for the map series in our map library.
Each map sheets is displayed as a polygonal linestring, based on its
corner coordinates. Lots of sheets have exactly the same boundaries, so
it's not clear where a polygon indicates just one map sheet of several.
It's easy, of course, to write a PostGIS query to return a different
color code when map boundaries exactly coincide, but I was wondering
whether something like that could be done by mapserver on its own, like
XOR-ing a line with what is already there. Any ideas?
Hi Jan,
For polygons you could use a small negative buffer to shrink the
polygon slightly. You can do this in postgis, and you might be able to
do it with mapserver if geos is compiled in. See:
http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-48.html
No, that is not what I meant. I'm looking for a trick for mapserver to
color a linestring differently when drawing over a linestring that it
has already drawn in a previous layer. In computer graphics you can do
this by using an XOR brush. Essentially, the screen frame buffer
functions as a sort of memory. I don not want to use PostGIS or GOS, too
complex. I doubt if this can be done by MapServer, but you never know.
Jan
