Then you can look at the coordinates for the polygons. There are a couple of times with a longitude -180. 179.86 -89.92 -180.14999 -89.779991 -179.99941 -84.4286809998 If you change them to -180 (i have tested with -179. and it works, perhaps -180 do not work) and convert the mapinfo file back to shape, then your trouble should be vanished.

[mapserver-users] Mapscript taking too long on my production server
Hi all, I'm doing an application in C# that uses mapscript to generate images. The features come from a postgis database. On my development machine all goes well and the image is always generated in less than 1 second. When I deployed the application to my two production servers (both powerfull than my dev machine), I noticed a very strange behavior: it takes +-20 seconds to generate the same image. Doing some debug on what's happening, I realized that was the call to mapObj.draw() method that was taking all that time. Thinking it could be a database related problem, (note that I'm using a local database) I've inspected the server logs and saw that the query only arrived at the database after that 20 seconds. So, the time is being taken in the draw, but before the database call. Anyone have a clue on what could be happening?

[mapserver-users] Points and labels always together
Hi all, Is it possible to have points and labels always drawn together when in a POINT layer? The objective is to draw localities on a map, and I don't want points or labels to appear alone. The problem is with LABELCACHE that when turned on, the points are all drawn, but only the labels that fit on the map will be drawn. This leads to some points without the correspondent labels. I think LABELCAHE turned off is not an option, because then the labels will be overlapped. Any ideas? Thanks, Nelson _ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.

The label background is getting quite cluttered actually, we have
backgroundcolor, backgroundshadowcolor, backgroundshadowsize, and
maybe a couple of others I'm forgetting.
maybe we could add something equivalent to backgroundstyle that would
have the same syntax as a class STYLE, that would then be passed on as
a normal style to msDrawShadeSymbol, along with the shapeobj
corresponding to the background shade.
we'd then have all the goodness of mapserver styles: outlines,
symbols, opacity, etc...
just a thought,
thomas

You can however, develop separate classes based on label length. You'd have
different
symbols to handle wide text vs. narrow. For example:
LABELITEM 'myitem'
CLASS
EXPRESSION (length('[myitem]') 5) # use a really wide shield
STYLE
SYMBOL 'reallywideshield'
...
END
END
CLASS
EXPRESSION (length('[myitem]') 3) # use a wide marker
STYLE
SYMBOL 'wideshield'
...
END
END
CLASS # default to a regular shield
STYLE
SYMBOL 'shield'
...

Hi,
Do you know how to write an outline on the roads label boxes, just like
the
ones that Google Maps has? In Mapserver docs I only see an outline for the
letters and not for the background. Does Mapserver support it?

[mapserver-users] Mapserver returns part of an image and then crashes

RE: [mapserver-users ] Mapserver images d oesn't fit well on a tiling scheme
With metaTile I can issue a pre-defined number of tiles that fit well. But this is per-request (if I'm right). For instance, if I make two consecutive requests of 4 tiles each from consecutive map zones, I get two sets of tiles that does not fit with each other (the first 4 do not fit side by side with the second 4). The problem with that approach is that tiles from the same request fit well, but in order to construct a map like VE or Google Maps I need that tiles from different requests to always fit well.

RE: [mapserver-users ] Mapserver images d oesn't fit well on a tiling scheme
I'm not sure if I got it right... When I request a 3x3 meta tile grid, tilecache only caches the center image? What if I request the image on the right of it and again another image to the right? Tilecache will issue new and overlapped requests to Mapserver? Or for the second request it will reuse a tile from the previous 3x3 request?

If you build the Cache using tilecache, when you use the metaTiles it will take a larger sample than the image being generated, for example if you have a 3x3 meta tile grid, the center tile of the nine-tile grid will be used. I had the exact same problem you are describing, but then setup the tilecache generator to use metatiles and things started to work beautifully -- including labels.
