I've been exploring mapserver a bit for the past few weeks, and my main source of documentation has been the various bits that are here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs
And specifically this URL for the mapfile syntax: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile As I mentioned in another post: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0711&L=mapserver-users&T=0&F=&S=&X=1543504A22CA5E519A&Y=nospam420%40yahoo.com&P=51466 I was considering posting to the list a question about having trouble getting antialiasing working with lines of TYPE CARTOLINE. It was only through exploring these archives that I became aware of the existence of AGG, and the fact that cartoline symbols are likely to be deprecated in the future: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0709&L=MAPSERVER-USERS&P=R29108&D=0&H=0&O=T&T=0&X=1543504A22CA5E519A&Y=nospam420%40yahoo.com I gather from reading these archives a little that using AGG largely just entails specifying it as an OUTPUTFORMAT, although I can find no mention of AGG as an available OUTPUTFORMAT here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/outputformat I had been under the impression that that documentation was current for 5.0.0. I do recognize that the cartographic symbol documentation itself makes no claim to be any more recent than 4.8 http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cartosymbols/ So finally, the crux of my question: 1) Is there any specific documentation for using AGG with mapserver? The only mention of it that I have yet been able to find outside of this mailing list archive is the following single line in README.CONFIGURE (so I assume I will have to install agg and then recompile mapserver to try this). --with-agg[=DIR] Include AGG support (DIR is AGG's install dir). 2) More generally, is there any mapserver 5.0.0 specific documentation, and is there any way to know what version any particular documentation refers to if it does not explicitly say? There's not much in the way of documentation included in the mapserver .tar.gz file, certainly nothing with the (very good) level of detail that is available on the web. Thanks in advance for any help you may have to offer. - Rich Fromm
