Paul,

  Read the Mapserver documentation on tile indexing 
(http://mapserver.org/input/raster.html#rasters-and-tile-indexing).

RE: [mapserver-users] Mapfile displaying in red

2009-07-15 Thread Fawcett, David 
Paul, 
 
Your polygon data is red because you are telling MapServer to color it
red.  
 
In the class in your layer 'map' (probably not a great layer or class
name), you are using a style to color your polygons.  
 
CLASS
   NAME 'map'
   STYLE
 COLOR 255 0 0
   END
   LABEL 
   TYPE bitmap
END
END

You have set the value of the color property to be 255 0 0.  Colors are
set as RGB (Red Green Blue) triplets.  In that line, you are saying,
'color it with the full amount of red and don't use any green or blue'.
 
If you change the value to 0 0 255, you will see blue polygons.  
 
For an easy way to come up with prettier colors, take a look at
ColorBrewer:

For testing your mapfile, just use the shp2img commandline utility, 
included in MS4W (http://www.mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html).



Here is my map file, Can anyone spot were i am going wrong? any help 
greatly appreciated.

Make sure the EXTENT parameter is set to the extents of your shapefile - 
you can use the ogrinfo utility (also included in MS4W) to grab the 
shp's extents.  I would also remove all projection objects, if you only 
have one layer.


Also, I don't understand what data your layer consists of.  Are you 
saying that the shapefile is an indexfile of the extents of the tiffs? 
(if yes, note that all the tools you needed to create it are also 
included in MS4W)


If you have any questions about the tools in MS4W feel free to fire an 
email to its mailing list:
