I'm trying to use the COLORRANGE feature to display DEM data, but I'm not getting any output from what I'm doing now. I have a tif with one band (the elevation) and I'm trying to first split that band into different classes for elevation ranges then I want to use a color ramp within each class to get a smooth blue->green->yellow->red sort of transition. The first split into classes seems to work -- I can assign each class a solid color and I'll see that, I just can't get the color ramp to work within the class. Here's one of my class definitions:

  CLASS
    EXPRESSION ([pixel] >= 500 AND [pixel] < 1000)
    STYLE
      COLORRANGE 48 255 180 255 255 0
      DATARANGE 500 1000
      RANGEITEM "[pixel]"
    END
  END

Does anybody know what's going wrong here?

Jeff,

Excellent idea, but unfortunately the raster colorrange support only
works with one class, and a single color range.  This is a limitation
of the implementation.

Thanks for the confirmation, Frank. I'm kind of disappointed that this won't work, but I've found a couple of simple little utility programs that will let me pre-process the TIFFs into the color-shaded output I wanted. If anybody else is interested, they're located at http://www.perrygeo.net/wordpress/?p=7 Overlaying a hillshaded version at ~40% opacity on top of the color ramp make for some really nice looking images with almost no work involved.
