Re: [gdal-dev] Possible new GDAL driver (funded work) for mapserver access?

2012-10-31 Thread Peter Baumann
Hi Brent, apologies, I was not proposing to switch to rasdaman - I rather wanted to point to raswct as something that might (or might not) be useful in some way, and could be inspected. The code is LGPL, FWIW. cheers, Peter On 10/31/2012 07:46 PM, pcr...@pcreso.com wrote: Hi Peter, I've l

Hi Peter, I've looked at radaman, it is very much in a similar direction, but adds another tool to the mix, which I'm seeking to avoid if possible. We work with small Pacific Is nations, often with very little technical expertise, using TIDEDA, & if a GDAL/mapserver combination is feasible, it

Hi Brent, seems like a great move! I am responding to your question of a 1D WCS client. Our project is rasdaman [1], an nD array DBMS which offers, among others, a WCS interface. As partners & users wanted to have (individual!) clients we have started the "rasdaman web client toolkit", raswct

[gdal-dev] Possible new GDAL driver (funded work) for mapserver access?

2012-10-31 Thread pcreso
Hi, I'm exploring the possibility of a GDAL driver for TIDEDA datasets. For a description of TIDEDA, see: http://www.niwa.co.nz/software/tideda-time-dependent-data Briefly, it is a tool for managing timeseries data from sources like climate & hydrometric stations. NIWA is considering Open Sour

[gdal-dev] gdal_polygonize.py creates invalid shapes

Hi, I noticed gdal_polygonize.py creates invalid shapefiles. I use this tiff file as input: http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/resources.get?id=37139&fname=povt.zip&access=private And this is my command: gdal_polygonize.py pov.tif -f "ESRI Shapefile" pov_pol

Siva, In shapefile format, deleted features are just 'marked' as deleted instead of actually removing them. This makes it faster. However, the statistics may not be updated. Specifying the the bForce parameter with the GetFeatureCount() method may be useful. To actually remove the features, you ha

[gdal-dev] "Assign character encoding" option for GML driver

2012-10-31 Thread Jukka Rahkonen
Hi, Let's say I have some date which use internally ISO-8859-1 encoding in Oracle or MapInfo files and I want to convert data into GML. It goes OK by using configuration option --config OGR_FORCE_ASCII NO. However, after doing so the GML data are in the native encoding (ISO-8859-1 in this case) b

[gdal-dev] When and how could I test Spatialite 4.0?

2012-10-31 Thread Jukka Rahkonen
Hi, Spatialite 4.0 will come rather soon and it will obviously break so much compared with Spatialite 3.0 that the only reasonable act is to switch totally into 4.0 and convert all existing Spatialite data into the new version. But when and how could I start playing with Spatialite 4.0 and GDAL, k
