Hi,

The image "two_separate_files.png" reveals the reason. If you look at the seam 
between the images the left side image and right side images do not share the 
same common canvas (pixels are not placed into same common grid). The area that 
you have marked as "000 nodata" has not received any image data from either 
image in warping. The warping algorithm has got a result like "51 % of this 
pixel is nodata, I stamp this pixel to nodata" or perhaps "the center of this 
pixel is nodata, thus the pixel is nodata". When the result is "nodata" for 
both left and right, there will be a seam.

Milo van der Linden suggests to try different resampling algorithms. It will 
not help because it does not affect the decision if the pixel is data or 
nodata. On the Mapserver side other resampling methods than the default Nearest 
neighbor can give some visual help by blurring the seam but it is not a real 
solution.

Solution that usually helps is the one I have posted to this list in 2014-08-29 
and it is to force the individually warped images to use a common canvas by 
running gdalwarp with parameters -tr and -tap. You have answered that you tried 
it with -tr 0.36 0.36 -tap but that did not help. I left you alone then, sorry 
for that. By the way, is "two_separate_files.png" from this experiment? I 
suppose not.

I should have asked if 0.36 m is the native resolution of your original images. 
If the pixel size is less than the native one there may still be room for the 
double-nodata pixels. I have used -tr 0.5 -tap when my originals have 0.5 m 
resolution with perfect results.

I would have a new trial with -tr and -tap.  If that does not help there are 
two more things to try:
- Create a mosaic in the original SRS before warping. You can create a .vrt 
file with gdalbuildvrt without wasting any disk space. Run gdalwarp from the 
.VRT file and cut the results into tiles if you need them with gdalwart target 
extents parameter "-te xmin ymin xmax ymax".
- If -tap does not compute good aligned target extents you can compute them 
yourself. Here is Python code snippet that we used for several years before 
-tap options existed for widening the output extents to full meters
                           minmax = get_minmax(tm32_coords)
                           minmax_wider = [
                                                       
(int(math.floor(minmax[0][0])), int(math.floor(minmax[0][1]))),
                                                       (int(math.ceil 
(minmax[1][0])), int(math.ceil (minmax[1][1]))),
                           ]

                           log("Extents (min,max): " + str(minmax), outfilename)
                           log("Widened extents (min,max): " + 
str(minmax_wider), outfilename)

However, the ultimate thing to do is re-consider if it is necessary at all to 
warp the original images into EPSG:3857. Mapserver warps pretty fast on-the-fly 
and I have not warped a single image after the introduction of support for 
different native projections in tileindex. See the -t_srs option 
http://www.gdal.org/gdaltindex.html. For utilizing this feature Mapserver 6.4 
or higher is needed.

Dear MS Users

Please look at the attachement and maybe you will recognize the problem. I 
think some of you could have encountered this problem with one pixel gap 
between rasterfiles in tileindex layer?


Description:
I have a set of rasters which I warped to epsg:3857 projection using gdalwarp.
During the reprojecting the new raster had been rotated by small angle.
After that I created a tileindex shape file using gdaltindex and configured 
layer:
LAYER
        NAME "myname"
        TILEINDEX "tilindex.shp"
        TYPE RASTER
        OFFSITE 0 0 0
    END

On the result map I see the gaps between raster files in the layer. (See the 
attachment).
Mayby there is a option in gdalwarp command to extend the new image by making 
it 1 pixel widther? May by something like resampling method or algorithm?
Could you please pint me to the solution of this problem?

Thanks in advance

Bartek
