Re: [mapserver-users] rotate and fit based on polygon
Thanks Carlos, we've employed the method you've suggested already but not getting the results we are looking for, perhaps the linked image will help illustrate my problem https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwWJtNuZjvCUR1AtVEZVLTdCbk0/view?usp=sharing On 8 September 2017 at 16:25, Carlos Ruiz wrote: > Travis, > > Do you have the polygons in PostGIS ?

Re: [mapserver-users] rotate and fit based on polygon
Travis, Do you have the polygons in PostGIS ? Maybe you can get the extent by using st_extent(geom) and retrieve it on PHP/Python to set the map extent. You could also get a margin by multiplying extent b 1.1 (10%).

It’s kinda hard to picture what you’re after, any way to help visualize it?

Re: [mapserver-users] Multi template
Hi Pierre: Ok, I whipped up a test. It is possible to use both the legacy templates and the output format method. The key is setting a value for the WEB object QUERYFORMAT parameter. If that parameter is set to some value that doesn't match any existing OUTPUTFORMAT names then MapServer will use the legacy approach. So this means you can do something like: WEB QUERYFORMAT "default" # use the legacy approach END and as long as there is no OUTPUTFORMAT named "default" then MapServer with use the legacy approach. If you don't set QUERYFORMAT or set it to the name of a an existing OUTPUTFORMAT then there is no path to the legacy approach unless you set the CGI parameter qformat to something that doesn't exist. I hope that's not too confusing. I have a test case with two OUTPUTFORMATs and QUERYFORMAT "default"... http://maps1.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv70?map=/usr/local/mapserver/apps/test/templates/test.map&mode=nquery (gets legacy approach) http://maps1.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv70?map=/usr/local/mapserver/apps/test/templates/test.map&mode=nquery&qformat=mytemplate1 (gets OUTPUTFORMAT one) http://maps1.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv70?map=/usr/local/mapserver/apps/test/templates/test.map&mode=nquery&qformat=mytemplate2 (gets OUTPUTFORMAT two) This is consistent with how I remember setting this up, it's just been awhile and I don't use the legacy approach much anymore.
