Yes I think I can do it...I just don't know if this will make a performance problem, but tileindex is built for that right? So if I open a map with the extent that is inside the extent of one tiff file, it will read only that tiff from disk right?
Is there a way to really find out which file is it reading from disk (after I make it work of course, because I would also like to enable showing the tiff with its nearest neighbours if someone chooses this option before)? thanks dejan > -----Original Message----- > From: Armin Burger [mailto:armin.burger at gmx.net] > Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 9:59 AM > To: Gambin Dejan > Cc: pmapper-users at faunalia.it > Subject: Re: [Pmapper-users] Dynamic map creation in pmapper > > > why don't you just put all your hotspot tiffs into an image > catalog (strangely called 'tileindex' in mapserver).
