[mapserver-users] ERS temp files from WCS
Hi all, We're using WCS to subset imagery in a variety of formats. When we request a GDAL/ERS outputformat the raw data file is returned, but we need to also access the .ers header file. We've noticed that the header file is created in our temp directory but the file name is inconvenient. e.g. 4e67272e_19c_1.img.tmp.ers We would like to be able to zip the header file up with the raw data file, so we need be able to either specify the name or predict what it will be. Can anyone provide any insight? Here's our output format: OUTPUTFORMAT NAME ERS DRIVER GDAL/ERS MIMETYPE image/ers IMAGEMODE INT16 END -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/ERS-temp-files-from-WCS-tp6766945p6766945.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

[mapserver-users] Line numbers of error messages in mapfiles with includes
Sometimes it's difficult to find the location of an error in a Mapfile, when that Mapfiles includes another Mapfile. In that case the line number is that of the combined files. Would it be possible to set the line-counter to the actual file Mapserver is parsing?

Thanks for the reply Frank. I adjusted the EXTENT, but still no go. The weird thing though is that when I use a PNG of the same image, things work great. I can't get any TIF, no matter how large or how small to work. In fact I tested a 200MB GeoTiff and Mapserver immediately spit out a white image with almost no disk activity. It's almost ignoring my DATA line when a TIF is provided Any other thoughts?

Frank, I take it back. It was the extent. I modified the extent and things are good.

[mapserver-users] character encoding

My source data was from KML - shp using ArcGIS 10 (though who knows what the kml format was!). One would assume if using ArcMap on a UK machine would give you an ISO output Should I copy the characters back into the attribute table via ArcGIS (but what program should I use to copy the characters from - Word...). I did use the ArcGIS export registry setting to export my supposed ISO shapfile to UTF-8 format (but the label rendering is wrong). Any ideas would be much appreciated!

I had the same problem using PC256 with the GD driver, which sounds like it isn't well supported.

[mapserver-users] Re character encoding
Hi Jeff I may well try that! The trouble is I have a stack of attributes in a Access db which I was joining onto the KML data. I need the complete dataset for an ArcGIS Server data service anyway so a shapefile seemed to be a good way to join it all and assist with that (will end up in SDE) and my mapfile dataset too. I had already read the page you mentioned and all is in place (I am using the MS4W PHP/mapscript set-up on IIS) and my original ISO flavoured version labels up nicely - it just breaks some of the query functionality (though it shouldn't - which is why I wonder if some of the characters are badly formed)!

[mapserver-users] Rendering with a single transparent colours in MapServer 6
We need to create 8-bit PNG images in MS 6.0 that have one single colour (white) designated as transparent with all other colours as 100% opaque. Using the GD driver with PC256 works well with vectors but not with fonts (see http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Font-rendering-in-MapServer-6-0-td6555935.html ). Using the AGG driver with quantization creates nice images but with semi-transparent colours, a feature Internet Explorer 6 tends to butcher. Is there another option? As an example, right now we're using this as our output format to create the image that follows: OUTPUTFORMAT NAME png8 DRIVER AGG/PNG8 MIMETYPE image/png; mode=8bit IMAGEMODE RGBA EXTENSION png FORMATOPTION INTERLACE=off FORMATOPTION QUANTIZE_FORCE=on FORMATOPTION QUANTIZE_COLORS=256 TRANSPARENT ON END http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/file/n6769109/comparingAGGQuantization.png What we need is the following image (created using GD and PC256): http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/file/n6769109/comparingGDPc256.png Is this possible in MS 6.0? -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Rendering-with-a-single-transparent-colours-in-MapServer-6-tp6769109p6769109.html Sent from the Mapserver - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

[mapserver-users] Crash on Labeling
I am labeling roads. I have a class using the TEXT directive like so: TEXT 'Bus [NAME]' This is for a business loop and labels in the map correctly with the highway name in the place of [NAME]. I also have other Loops. I tried this for the other loops: TEXT 'Loop [NAME]' ...and I get the following label in the map: Loop [NAME] ...just like you see it, with brackets and all. Then I did some experimenting. When I try this in the config file: TEXT 'q [NAME]' ...the entire process crashes. Yes, that's simply a 'q'. Are there labeling issues in MapServer 6.0.1?

QGIS has quite nice possibilities to select the encoding when opening and writing the various supported vector data formats (including e.g. shape and KML). armin On 07/09/2011 17:59, Chris Jackson wrote: Hi all I am having some issues with special characters in my application (sure I am not the first!) and wondered what the best way is to 'clean up' the data so I know it is specifically in a given format say UTF-8 or ISO.

I would really appreciate insight from someone well-versed in the ins and outs
of WMS via MapScript. Looking at the discussion at
[http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/670], the `img = wms_map.draw()` step
seems to be a crucial part of drawing the image.
So, I added `my $img = $map-draw();` to my code below, and indeed, the image
was drawn and sent back to the browser.
Is this something that should be added to the examples in the documentation? Is
this the right way to do things? In any case, I am not write to STDOUT, and
sending the buffer directly. Instead, my code is very much like a regular
request (and it works) --
my $new_extent = $map-{extent};
my $req = new mapscript::OWSRequest();
$req-setParameter( SERVICE, WMS );
$req-setParameter( VERSION, 1.1.0 );
$req-setParameter( REQUEST, GetMap );
$req-setParameter( BBOX, -180,-90,180,90 );
$req-setParameter( LAYERS, layer_name);
$req-setParameter( SRS, -1);
$req-setParameter( WIDTH, 1200);
$req-setParameter( HEIGHT, 600);
my $dispatch_out = $map-OWSDispatch( $req );
my $img = $map-draw();
my $map_img = 'test_' . sprintf(%0.10d, rand(10)) . '.png';
$img-save(/path/to/$map_img);
return send_file(/path/to/$map_img);
Comments? Corrections?
Puneet,
I rarely use PHP and it is possible something is broken now with PHP
OWS dispatching. But it should work like:
http://mapserver.org/ogc/mapscript.html#php-example
Alternatively if you don't install the stdout redirection the OWSDispatch
call should produce the image to stdout.
Note that if you want things handled properly as a WMS request you should
not be calling draw(). The ticket you reference long predates the WxS
MapScript services effort.
I suspect you are not really setting all the environment variables needed
to make the WMS handler kick in during OWSDispatch though I'd have to
play around with it to be sure.
Best regards,
