Re: [mapserver-users] Min/max pixelsize vs. min/max scaledenom

Hey there, yes, that's me again :-) I'm currently poking around in map rendering software like mapserver and mapnik. I'd like to find out how I can organize my map publishing scheme most efficiently. It seems I'm hitting the same spot with all rendering softwares. I wrote my mapserver

It still draw's correctly, so I'd say its still in the code (I'm running 6.2.1). Reading: http://mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/construction.html it looks like I want have multiple SYLE's listed. Something like: CLASS NAME 'Railroad' STYLE SYMBOL 0

[mapserver-users] shptree command does not change .qix 'date modified' when re-run?

2013-08-28 Thread Robert R. Raiz
Hello, A thing I noticed today is that when I run the shptree command on a shapefile that already has a .qix file, a simple ls -l command shows the old date of the file, it does not see it as being replaced. Is anyone familiar with this behavior? I am not sure if it replaces the file or not. --

Working as expected on SuSE 11, I see the timestamp change. I did notice that the utility doesn't produce an error if it can't create the file for some reason (I tested with permissions), it just fails silently. Maybe you're running into that? Steve From:

Hi, Your spreadsheet may be trivial but still was useful. I had used resolution of 72 DPI in my scale-to-pixel-size conversion because I had understood that it is what Mapserver is using when it calculates the WMS scalehint. But now I see that when playing with min/maxscaledenominators the

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, my problem was in the font and size definitions. Once I happened upon those assignments (below in the // Label section) my label text magically appeared. You would think the text would default to something like everything else. Thank you for all the

[mapserver-users] WMS GeoTIFF query with multiple bands

2013-08-28 Thread geoguru
How would you go about serving a 16bit GeoTIFF with n number of bands and be able to have the WMS query return all the bands in the GeoTIFF. I've attempted to use the GDAL/GTiff driver to return tiffs, but could only return a max of 4 bands using the RGBA ImageMode. -- View this message in

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS GeoTIFF query with multiple bands

Chheang Be, You will want IMAGEMODE INT16 which takes a quite distinct code path which supports multiple bands. You may also need to use FORMAT GDAL/GTiff in your OUTPUTFORMAT declaration for this to work properly, I don't exactly recall. The BANDS declaration may also be of use if you want to
