[mapserver-users] layer handling in Mapserver WMS clients
Hi, I have a follow up question on my question yesterday. I would like to have the layers in the main called mapfile to be set layers in the client WMS calls. The WMS client documentation says, http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_client.html : wms_name metadata - comma-separated list of layers to be fetched from the remote WMS server. This value is used to set the LAYERS and QUERY_LAYERS WMS URL parameters When I call the MAP_MAIN I would like to call it like this: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/map2/MAP_MAIN.map SERVICE=WMSREQUEST=GetmapVERSION=1.1.1 LAYERS=base,marks,textsrs=EPSG:4326BBOX=9.624750,52.3,30.33,66.50 FORMAT=application/openlayersWIDTH=2000HEIGHT=1100 or LAYERS=base,text or LAYERS=base Is the mechanism similar to the srs handling? How do I expose the layers in the wms clients map files? Right now I use GROUP to define the layers and that works when I call it directly. Or is it so that I have to expose the layers with WMS_LAYER_GROUP in the wms-server mapfiles that are called as clients? I haven't been successful with that! I have several clients with the same layer structure and one with just default. /Lars MAP NAME MAP_MAIN SIZE 1000 1000 CONFIG PROJ_LIB './' UNITS dd EXTENT 9.624750 52.3 30.33 66.50 PROJECTION 'init=epsg:4326' END IMAGETYPE png FONTSET './fonts/fontset.lst' SYMBOLSET ./symbols/symbols.sym OUTPUTFORMAT NAME 'AGG' DRIVER AGG/PNG IMAGEMODE RGB END SHAPEPATH ../data/shape WEB IMAGEPATH '/tmp/' IMAGEURL '/tmp/' METADATA ows_enable_request * 'wms_title' 'MAP_MAIN' 'wms_srs' 'EPSG:32633 EPSG:3006 EPSG:3857 EPSG:4326' labelcache_map_edge_buffer -10 END END ### Layer 0 as WMS request LAYER NAME WMS-layer-0 OFFSITE 200 0 0 TYPE RASTER CONNECTIONTYPE WMS CONNECTION http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/map0.map; METADATA 'wms_srs''EPSG:32633 EPSG:3006 EPSG:3857 EPSG:4326' wms_name default wms_server_version1.1.1 wms_formatimage/png wms_exceptions_format application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage END END #layer ### Layer 1 as WMS request LAYER NAME WMS-layer-1 OFFSITE 200 0 0 TYPE RASTER CONNECTIONTYPE WMS CONNECTION http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/map1.map; METADATA 'wms_srs' 'EPSG:32633 EPSG:3006 EPSG:3857 EPSG:4326' wms_name base,marks,text#??? wms_server_version1.1.1 wms_formatimage/png wms_exceptions_format application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage END END #layer END # Map ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

[mapserver-users] double check - recommended way to optimize air photos for speed in MapServer while maintaining a decent quality and file size.
Hello, In the past I prepared my air photos for MapServer by converting them into GeoTiff and creating compressed jpeg overviews. I would like to double check if this is still a recommended method to prepare air photos that are fast, have a decent amount of quality, and are not terribly large. If anyone has any comments on how I should prepare air photos for MapServer and possibly ArcGIS or QGIS let me know. Here is what I used in the past, which seems to work good: gdal_translate -CO TILED=YES -CO PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR -CO TFW=YES -CO COMPRESS=JPEG -CO BIGTIFF=YES MNPIPE13-SID-9INCH.sid Pipe13.tif gdaladdo -r cubic --config compress_overview JPEG --config photometric_overview YCBCR Pipe2013.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 I will be provided an ECW file, Mr Sid file, and I will be given the choice of getting either 775 individual jpg or tiff tiles.

Some further details after debugging.

Thanks for any advice. *Mark Volz* Its what I'm using, but I'm setting jpeg_quality much lower than the default. I ran several at different qualities and found next to no difference when zoomed all the way in. For the gdaladdo I reduce the quality even more, because when your zoomed out, who cares if you can't make out an individual car. I'm using: gdal_translate -of GTiff \ -co compress=jpeg \ -co JPEG_QUALITY=60 \ -co PHOTOMETRIC=YCBCR \ -co tiled=yes \ -co bigtiff=yes \ --config GDAL_CACHEMAX 500 \ src dest gdaladdo -ro -r average \ --config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW JPEG \ --config JPEG_QUALITY_OVERVIEW 40 \ --config PHOTOMETRIC_OVERVIEW YCBCR \ --config INTERLEAVE_OVERVIEW PIXEL \ --config GDAL_CACHEMAX 500 \ dest \ 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 I think (but no real measure) that too many small files or very few big files are slower than 12'ish files. But that's just a gut feeling. My Tama Iowa imagery is 30 gig, in 12 .tif files: http://maps.camavision.com/map/tamaia?pin=14.27.203.003 The EWC version is 22 gig. performance wise, when zoomed in as close as possible (car level), the ecw and tiff perform about the same. When zoomed all the way out (entire county), once I added 2048 and 4096 to my gdaladdo, the tiff was almost a second faster than ecw. If there are newer/better methods I'd be interested in them too. -Andy ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
