RE: [mapserver-users] Client-side applications for visualizing mapfiles
The best choice depends on what you're trying to do. Personally, I'm working up a mapserver project with a ka-map (http://ka-map.maptools.org/) front-end. Ka-map works well for me since it's pretty easy to point to a working mapserver .map file. (just change config.php) As for tutorials, there are some on mapserver's site. Also, if you're using postgis as a data store, they have some pretty good tutorials in their documentation. Hope this helps. --John Jackson --Deputy Auditor, Franklin County Auditor's Office.

I know that the heart of mapserver is the mapfile. Also, i can use html files and templates fro visualizing the layers of mapfile in a web-browser. But, i want a more interactive, flexible and quickly solution. Could you suggest me anything?? I know that there are many client-side applications to rend WMS and WFS servers like OpenLayers, Fusion, dbox, Chameleon, GMap, CartoWeb.

Re: [mapserver-users] Client-side applications for visualizing mapfiles
Apostlolos, If you just want to render mapfiles to learn how to configure a map file, there's an utility program called shp2img which takes a map file as input and produces the GIF/JPG/PNG output file.
