[mapserver-users] Edit a Line shape and save it
Hy everybody,
I work with python mapscript and i want to create a Line shape.
I do this :
test = mapscript.shapefileObj('test',mapscript.MS_SHAPEFILE_ARC)
for i in range(len(x))
test.addPoint(mapscript.pointObj(x[i],y[i],0,0))
When i execute the script, there is two new file in the script directory
(test.shp and test.shx).
But when i do an ogrinfo, there's no data stored in the file :
$ogrinfo -al test.shp
INFO: Open of `test.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.
Layer name: test
Geometry: Line String
Feature Count: 0
Extent: (0.00, 0.00) - (0.00, 0.00)
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
can you help me please?

[mapserver-users] Studio - admin tool for MapServer
Hi With this email we're announcing the first release of Studio, an admin tool for MapServer. Studio basically allows editing MapServer Mapfiles, using an easy-to-use web-based interface. Relevant links: - Google Group http://groups.google.com/group/studio-discuss - Documentation http://camptocamp.github.com/Studio/ - Demo http://demo.mapfish.org/studio/ - Code base https://github.com/camptocamp/Studio - Studio on PyPI http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Studio Instructions for installing Studio are provided in the documentation at http://camptocamp.github.com/Studio/installation_guide.html. We at Camptocamp started working on Studio two years ago, but, for various reasons, weren't able to make an actual release of Studio at the time. With this 0.5 release we want to measure the interest for such a tool; we know there's still work to be done before reaching a 1.0 release. We're therefore encouraging interested folks to test Studio, sign up to the Google Group, and provide feedback.

[mapserver-users] wms_style_xxx_legendurl_href
Hi, I'm using the wms_style-parameters in the layer metadata section to tell the client to use a special legend-url: 'wms_style' 'Farbwerte' 'wms_style_Farbwerte_legendurl_height' '218' 'wms_style_Farbwerte_legendurl_href' 'http://xxx/html/test/gimp.png' 'wms_style_Farbwerte_legendurl_format' 'png' 'wms_style_Farbwerte_legendurl_width' '300' This works fine with only one style. But what do I have to do, if I have defined different styles / classgroups? When defining 'wms_style' 'Farbwerte' the capabilities only shows this style, even if there are more styles (classgroups) defined. Any idea?

Thanks Tamas, I put together a solution that mimics what I am doing at a very simple level and I got it to error fairly easily. This zip contains an example mapfile and the solution used to reproduce the setup. I just put everything in c:\tmp\test.

[mapserver-users] SLD parameter in GetMap and GetLegendGraphic requests
The MapServer documentation says the value of an SLD parameter must point to a remote SLD (SLD=http://URL_TO_SLD). Okay, I understand, but I still have to ask this question... Is there any way the path can be provided to a directory that exists on the MapServer host itself? One of our processes generates a shapefile and the SLD to symbolize it dynamically. We then use a blank MAP file (acting as a WMS Server) to load up the data with the SLD for display (using a GetMap request). All the generated files are stored in the same directory on the same system as MapServer. MapServer can get at the shapefile because the blank MAP file has a SHAPEPATH in it and we just pass along the rest of the path to the files through the GetMap request's DATA parameter. For example: http:///ogc/printVecWms_en?map.layer[LineString]=DATA '6543c79b-8c56-4dd1-8a89-ef8dde819e02/LineString' ENDVERSION=1.1.1SLD=http:///printVecData/SLD/6543c79b-8c56-4dd1-8a89-ef8dde819e02/LineString.sldTRANSPARENT=trueLAYER=LineStringSERVICE=WMSREQUEST=GetLegendGraphicSTYLES=EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimageFORMAT=image/jpegSRS=EPSG:42304BBOX=-397165.01997824,-789911,2108966.9600435,1716220.9800218WIDTH=256HEIGHT=256 Unfortunately, the area where these files are created is not accessible externally, nor do we want them to be (particularly the shapefiles). This means we have to move the location of the SLDs to a place where we do not forbid access in order to use the syntax above. And that works fine. However, we'd really, really like to keep the SLDs closely associated (physically) with the Shapefiles they were built for. So, if anyone knows some syntax or a way that we can pass a value through the SLD parameter that is not publically accessible via http, I'd love to here it!! Is there some way of specifying the SLD to use within the MAP file itself and consequently a way that I can set it in the map.layer[LineString]= value instead? I've never heard of such a thing nor have I found anything that suggests I can, I'm just throwing it out there to see if anything jumps in to anyone's mind.

[mapserver-users] MapServer 6.0.0-beta1 release - Please test!
The MapServer Team is pleased to announce the release of MapServer 6.0.0-beta1. This is the first beta on our way to a final 6.0 release. This new release introduces important changes in key components of the MapServer core (rendering, query and expressions), and for this reason we count on you, MapServer power users, to help test the release in your respective environments and provide feedback (through the users list or Trac tickets). The timing and feedback for this first beta is very important since it comes one week before the Montreal Code Sprint where about a dozen participants will be working specifically on MapServer and will have a chance to tackle important 6.0 issues that may be found and reported. Here is a quick list of RFCs documenting some of the new features or important changes in 6.0. This list is not complete, we will update it as we polish the release documentation: Core Changes in MapServer 6.0 which could affect existing applications: * MS RFC 54: Rendering Interface API * MS RFC 64: MapServer Expression Parser Overhaul * MS RFC 65: Single-pass Query Changes for 6.0 New Features and Enhancements in MapServer 6.0: * MS RFC 58: Kml Output * MS RFC 60: Labeling enhancement: ability to skip ANGLE FOLLOW labels with too much character overlap * MS RFC 61: Enhance MapServer Feature Style Support * MS RFC 62: Support Additional WFS GetFeature Output Formats * MS RFC 63: Built-in OpenLayers map viewer * MS RFC 66: Better handling of temporary files * MS RFC 67: Enable/Disable Layers in OGC Web Services * MS RFC 68: Support for combining features from multiple layers * MS RFC 69: Support for clustering of features in point layers (RFCs are available online at http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/) As usual there an a large number of additional small enhancements and bug fixes. For a complete list see the HISTORY.TXT file at: http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/tags/rel-6-0-0-beta1/mapserver/HISTORY.TXT We have started working on a 5.6 - 6.0 migration guide. This document contains important notes on backwards incompatibilities or other changes required when upgrading to 6.0. It is not complete yet but we strongly recommend that you review the latest version online at: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/trunk/mapserver/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT The source for this release can be downloaded at: http://mapserver.org/download.html or http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/mapserver-6.0.0-beta1.tar.gz The binary distributions listed in the download page should be updated with binaries for the new 6.0.0-beta1 release in the next day or so. This is the first of four planned beta releases and if all goes well a final release should occur around the end of April. The full release plan can be viewed at: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/60ReleasePlan Once again we need your help to ensure a high quality product, especially for this beta due to its timing with next week's Code Sprint, so please help out by testing your applications with this new code base.

It is not complete yet but we strongly recommend that you review the latest version online at: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/trunk/mapserver/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT The source for this release can be downloaded at: http://mapserver.org/download.html or http://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/mapserver-6.0.0-beta1.tar.gz The binary distributions listed in the download page should be updated with binaries for the new 6.0.0-beta1 release in the next day or so. This is the first of four planned beta releases and if all goes well a final release should occur around the end of April. The full release plan can be viewed at: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/60ReleasePlan Once again we need your help to ensure a high quality product, especially for this beta due to its timing with next week's Code Sprint, so please help out by testing your applications with this new code base.
