I guess that getting this effect with Mapserver would mean creating an
animated gif about the whole map and sending that our. I believe that
Mapserver does not support this but it building and sending just static
images for the client and in this case that static image contains only
some fixed pixels which originate from your animated ball.gif file.  I
would guess that they always come from the first frame of the gif file. 

I do not know enough about web techniques to say how to make what you
want. For sure it is possible somehow. I guess it would mean something
like sending the base map for the background and the ball.gif to be
drawn on top of that and a clever client that puts them together.

Hi, tks for the answers.

According to my gdainfo output file attached, can anyone tell me what 
element could be a CLASSITEM?


I can see my grib using Grads but what tool do I use to translate 
individual bands into GeoTIFF?


Converting the data on-the-fly to an image is the right way to work?

Hi all,

I'm trying to work with GRIB files in MapServer but it's not working. 
I know that when we work with images we need to classify the output

how is it for GRIB files? I have several levels an variables in it. 
How do I classify them? Does anybody explain me?


Roberto,

It would be helpful if you could make a GRIB file typical of what you 
want
to use available for download, so we could speak in the context of 
that file.


Grib files often include a number of variables.  These variables 
typically
get unrolled as bands.  If the variable is 3D (ie. has a time or 
elevation

dimension) then it may be unrolled as multiple bands from a GDAL point of
view.  One sample GRIB file I happen to have ends up with 40 bands, 
two of

which look like this when reported by gdalinfo:

Band 1 Block=360x1 Type=Float64, ColorInterp=Undefined
  Description = 5[m] DBSL (Depth below sea level)
  Metadata:
GRIB_UNIT=[K]
GRIB_COMMENT=Potential temperature [K]
GRIB_ELEMENT=POT
GRIB_SHORT_NAME=5-DBSL
GRIB_REF_TIME=  1130716800 sec UTC
GRIB_VALID_TIME=  1133308800 sec UTC
GRIB_FORECAST_SECONDS=2592000 sec
Band 2 Block=360x1 Type=Float64, ColorInterp=Undefined
  Description = 15[m] DBSL (Depth below sea level)
  Metadata:
GRIB_UNIT=[K]
GRIB_COMMENT=Potential temperature [K]
GRIB_ELEMENT=POT
GRIB_SHORT_NAME=15-DBSL
GRIB_REF_TIME=  1130716800 sec UTC
GRIB_VALID_TIME=  1133308800 sec UTC
GRIB_FORECAST_SECONDS=2592000 sec

As you can see these are temperature values for different depths
below sea level.

Once you know what band(s) you want to work with in MapServer you can
select them using the BANDS= processing directive.

  eg.
   PROCESSING BANDS=2

would select the 2nd band for display.

Then you can use classification as you describe.  In this case the
pixel values are presumably floating point temperatures measured in
degrees Kelvin though I'm not that familiar with the product.  Pay
particular attention to the online mapserver docs on classifying
non-8bit data as there are some caveats in this regard. I hope this
gets you going.

I would suggest:
  o inspecting your file(s) with gdalinfo, reviewing the metadata.
  o Translate individual bands into GeoTIFF files and visualize
and inspect the results with desktop software like QGIS or OpenEV.

Then move to mapserver once you are more comfortable you know how
the data is being represented through GDAL.

Re: [mapserver-users] hotspot information on point layers

2009-05-13 Thread Guillaume Sueur
Hi,

That will mainly depend on your client side implementation, in which the
map image itself will be displayed.
For example, if you use OpenLayers as a client, you can set a mouseOver
or mouseClick on your layer, and trigger a WMS getFeatureInfo request on
it.

Regards

Guillaume

Roberto,

In MapServer you always classify rasters based on the item [pixel] but
you do not need to explicitly state a classitem.

This is a relatively simple example of raster classification.

LAYER
  NAME grid1
  TYPE raster
  STATUS default
  DATA data/float.tif
  CLASS
NAME red
EXPRESSION ([pixel]  -3)
COLOR 255 0 0
  END
  CLASS
NAME green
EXPRESSION ([pixel] = -3 and [pixel]  3)
COLOR 0 255 0
  END
  CLASS
NAME blue
EXPRESSION ([pixel] = 3)
COLOR 0 0 255
  END
END

I can see my grib using Grads but what tool do I use to translate 
individual bands into GeoTIFF?


You can use gdal_translate to extract particular bands from a grib file
as a geotiff (or all the bands).  For instance, the following would
extract band 3 (total precipitation):

gdal_translate -b 3 T126L28.grb total_precip.tif

Converting the data on-the-fly to an image is the right way to work? 


Having MapServer access the grib file on the fly rather than depending
on pre-translated extracts will reduce data duplication and may help
avoid confusion about what is up to date.  However, it is possible that
there will be a performance penalty for extracting directly from GRIB.
If so, it may not be significant enough to matter to you.


What are the problems with Apache if I do not do so?


I don't see how either approach relates to Apache.  It is a
data management and possibly performance issue with MapServer.

Re: [mapserver-users] WFS Compression

2009-05-13 Thread Gregor at HostGIS

Are any plans to include compressed GML as an output in the windows version
of mapserver?


Typically that would be handled silently by your webserver, if the 
browser supplies an Accept-encoding header including deflate or gzip.


Alternately, you can have more control over the process with some 
compression modules in Apache such as mod_deflate and mod_gz.

GeoMOOSE 1.6.X (and 2.0) suffer some documentation difficulties... it's a 
learn by example setup right now.  We're trying to get better with GM2.0 and 
its documentation is arguably better (http://www.geomoose.org/geomoose2/docs/) 
than GM1.6 but I still need to do more work documenting the different input

  You need to have an input type that sends the visiblelayers

  Are you using GeoMOOSE 1.6.X or GeoMOOSE 2.0 beta?

  Geomoose
   
   
   I'm writing a custom tool in geomoose based on
  php/mapscript. 
   I'm trying to get the layer status for each on of
  my layers using
   $qlayer-status property.
   Always and for each layer it returns the value 2. But
  there aren't all the
   layers checked in the treeview of geomoose (and
  according displayed in the
   map). I think that  $qlayer-status property always
  return 2 because it
   checks the status in the mapfile (for my layers the
  status is DEFAULT) and
   not what is displayed in the map. So how can I get
  only the layers that are
   displayed in the map (or are checked in the treeview
  of Geomoose)? I also
   checked the $qlayer-isVisible() property but it
  also works with the same
   logic (it returns 1 for all layers, displayed or
  not).Thank you.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver rendering with 24 bit colour

On 06/05/2009, at 1:52 PM, David Nugent wrote:

Once I completed upgrading to mapserver 5.4, I decided I'd give the  
new AGG renderer a try.

However, as a by-product of changing renderer, the metatiles  
produced by mapserver differ slightly in colour. Some agree exactly  
to the RBG colours I am providing, others are rendered with slight  
variations, and when viewed on the web it becomes fairly obvious  
where the meta tile borders are.




This is to follow up on my own question to which I received no  
response either on the list or otherwise in case anyone else runs into  
the same or a similar problem.


I finally found the problem in that the php mapscript had a bug, and  
that AGG_Q (AGG with quantize enabled) was being selected regardless  
that I was trying to tell it to do it differently. Once I correctly  
set it to AGG without quantize, the colour variation between tiles  
disappeared and all is well.


One interesting aspect of this is that the average file size did not  
increase significantly when dropping quantize although in general the  
tiles rendered using AGG are around 40-50% larger than PNG8.
