Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Querying using georefferencial units

[Eduardo Zenaide]

thanks, Steve, but there's one thing i didn't understand:

when MapServer do the query, it uses the georreferencial units, ok. but, it
uses pixels to do the zooming thing. like this:

###############

... var_minxp=&var_minx=-
38.234122&var_miny=-11.52665&var_maxx=-34.594394&var_maxy=-8.133178&minx=-38.736107&miny=-11.526650&maxx=-34.092409&maxy=-8.133178
...
CMD=QUERY_POINT&INPUT_TYPE=auto_rect&INPUT_COORD=168%2C180%3B216%2C225

###############

the final part is used to do the zoom. with ROSA tool it works, but i'm
trying to do this using a search string with a text box. my function do
this:

###############

function determinaQSTRING() {
       var hostPar = "http://localhost:82/zaal/al.php?";;
       var keymapPar = "KEYMAPXSIZE=100&KEYMAPYSIZE=75&";
       var layerFixa = "Limite_Estadual_AL=Y&grid=Y&";
       var layer = document.pesquisa.layersList.value;
       var modePar = "&CMD=QUERY_POINT&INPUT_TYPE=auto_rect&";
       var imagePar = "imagewidth=760&imageheight=570";
       var queryEntry = document.pesquisa.busca.value;
       var operador = document.pesquisa.operadores.value;
       var minx = "minx=-37.561294&";
       var miny = "miny=-9.304462&";
       var maxx = "maxx=-37.228709&";
       var maxy = "maxy=-9.160048&";
       document.pesquisa.qstring.value = "(\"[NOME]\" "+ operador +" /"+
queryEntry +"/)";
       window.opener.document.location = hostPar + keymapPar + layerFixa +
layer + "=Y&" + minx + miny + maxx + maxy + imagePar + modePar +
"INPUT_COORD=";
}

###############

i've tried to change the minx, miny, etc vars to get the actual size of
queried layers using the [shpxy] and [shpminx], etc. i'm still trying to
figure it out, but i've already tested using the exactly coordinates - just
as in the function above - and didn't work.
when the query is made through the search string, it gets this INPUT_COORD
to zoom. and it uses pixel units. i think if i could convert the pixel units
to georreferencial it will work.

sorry to bother and all, but i'm really stuck with it.

thanks in advance :)


2007/5/10, Steve Lime <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hi Eduardo: Sure, this is no problem. All the query routines expect map
units (not pixels) and it's the CGI program that does that conversion
before-hand.

To query by point use mapxy, by bbox use mapext and by shape use mapshp.
For example:

  http://.../cgi-bin/mapserv?map=
my.map&mode=query&qlayer=parcels&mapxy=1234.5678+1234.5678

Hi, list.

ok, i am able to get polygon extents.
but the query string is made using a pixel referrencing based on previous
image.
there's a way to tell MapServer to query using georeferrencing units? or
maybe any way to convert the pixel units to georreferencial?

i'm using an application based on GMap and i've seen some GMapPix2Geo
function on the code. this could be used on the query string?
