[mapserver-users] Rendering precision

After the map file is built, mapserv is called (as a shell script),

Have you seen mapscript? You can use mapserver directly from perl.
And perl can do fast-cgi. Here is a little, ad-hoc, non-tested,
perl fcgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use mapscript;
use FCGI;
my $request = FCGI::Request( );
while($request-Accept() = 0)
{
my($req, $x, $at, $xmap, $xpin, $sid, $y, $q);
$req = new mapscript::OWSRequest();
$req-loadParams();
$xmap = $req-getValueByName('map');
$xpin = $req-getValueByName('pin');
my $map = new mapscript::mapObj( /maps/$xmap.map );
if (! $map)
{
#print STDERR - Error loading map: $xmap.map\n;
print(Content-type: text/text\r\n\r\n);
print cant load $xmap.map;
$request-Finish();
next;
}
mapscript::msIO_installStdoutToBuffer();
$x = $map-OWSDispatch( $req );
if ($x)
{
print STDERR OWSDispatch: $x\n;
my $errObj = new mapscript::errorObj();
while ($errObj) {
print STDERR ERROR:
$errObj-{code}:$errObj-{message}:$errObj-{routine} \n;
$errObj = $errObj-next();
}
}
my $content_type =
mapscript::msIO_stripStdoutBufferContentType();
$x = mapscript::msIO_getStdoutBufferBytes();
print(Content-type: $content_type\r\n\r\n);
if (mapscript::msGetVersionInt() = 50500)
{
print $$x;
} else {
print $x;
}
mapscript::msIO_resetHandlers();
$request-Finish();
}
I'd recommend using mapserver 5.6.0.

You can load a map into memory (I assume you were already doing that).
You said ..perl.. receives the URL parameters ...and... builds the
map file.
I assume your perl does: use mapscript?
and at some point: my $map = new mapscript::mapObj( /maps/$xmap.map );
You kind of imbed mapserver into your perl script, and can call its
functions and what not. After you load the map you can do things to
it, in memory.
In my example above, I'm using the WMS features ($map-OWSDispatch),
but you can also generate an image:
my $img = $map-draw();
$img-save('x.jpg', $mapscript::MS_JPG);

It will take a bit of rewrite to add fcgi support and mapscript, but in
the long run it will be more mantainable... :)

So are you using the template html stuff? Humm... I've never used that
stuff, not sure how it'll all translate.
For documentation, I used the mapscript reference:
http://mapserver.org/mapscript/mapscript.html
I found a few example perl scripts that helped with the syntax (my $c =
new mapscript::colorObj(), $c-{blue} = 255;, etc...). Other than that,
I had more problems comming up with nice looking colors for my map, than
actually writing the perl code.

[mapserver-users] Elevation data from DEM/LIDAR?
Hello All: I have an idea to improve our mapserver instance, and I come to you asking for help formulating an approach to realizing it. What I want is retrieve elevation data from DEM/LIDAR. I have attempted keyword searches for various combination of MapServer+DEM+LIDAR without much success. I am using MapServer 5.4.2 from the MS4W package. I have access to elevation data in the form of USGS DEM rasters, either from 1:24000 quads or from a much denser (and far larger) LIDAR dataset. The quad DEM dataset consists of just under 1000 quads stored as individual .dem files, in what appears to be 16-bit signed integer format, each file with a unique name equal to the USGS quad code. Files appear to be 1-2 megs in size on disk. The LIDAR dataset appears to use a 32-bit float format, there are over 3500 quarter-quads stored as individual .dem files with unique names that do not correspond directly to the USGS quarter-quad code (but I can possibly generate a lookup table for the translation). Alternatively the LIDAR data is available as CSV format. Files are quite large, 10-12 megs for the rasters and 150 megs for the CSVs. Each. I am not (yet) interested in displaying the data as an image, only returning the point values at any given location on the displayed map. We are using Geomoose2 for our front-end, but I'll work on the display of the data once I determine how best to generate it. There are no services (e.g. WMS) published by our MapServer instance. How should I (can I? do I need to?) approach crafting a mapserver file that points to 3500+ individual rasters? Am I thinking all wrong about this? This is very likely. Should I just forget about the whole thing? Can it even be done in a reasonable way? Please opine at will on this subject.

Re: [mapserver-users] Designing a wrapper around mapserv which can be used with fcgi
I have:
- mapserver running as fastcgi
- php running as fastcgi
I am currently setting up, not sure how this is going to end up; but I
have the structure you mention in mind too.
I hope that since both processes are fcgi they will enhance each other?
But testing will have to prove it in the near future.

Johan, The USGS quad files should work out-of-the-box with MapServer just like any other raster file though they are generally an inefficient format to use if performance is a concern. To display them you would normally need rescaling. They should also work with GetFeatureInfo to get point elevations (I think). The LIDAR dataset appears to use a 32-bit float format, there are over 3500 quarter-quads stored as individual .dem files with unique names that do not correspond directly to the USGS quarter-quad code (but I can possibly generate a lookup table for the translation).

We are using Geomoose2 for our front-end, but I'll work on the display of the data once I determine how best to generate it. There are no services (e.g. WMS) published by our MapServer instance. MapServer has no support for LIDAR data in LAS format which is not structured as a regular raster. However, it is possible that your data has already been reformatted into a raster file in something like USGS DEM format (given the extension). Try gdalinfo on one of the files and see if it reports it as recognised. If it is still LAS format, there isn't much you can do with it directly in mapserver. You might find some useful LAS resources at: http://liblas.org/ In theory you could write a Python mapscript + Python liblas wrapper that would handle WMS GetFeatureInfo calls in a custom way by querying a LAS file but you would have to put together a lot of glue to make this work. BTW, our very own Howard Butler is a LAS/LIDAR guru and may have more suggestions. How should I (can I? do I need to?) approach crafting a mapserver file that points to 3500+ individual rasters? Note that the USGS DEM files would normally be handled via a tile index. Read the Raster Data Access document for more info on tileindexes.

Hi, I want the user to select a polygon from the map, then return a hilited map of the selected polygon as well as the adjacent polygons along with a list of the names of each polygon. I have all of the parts of my desired query functioning independently, but not all in concert. featurequery: (layer A *must* be a polygon layer, version 5.4 supports LINE layers as well) - find the first geometry that intersects point x,y in layer A and use it to select geometries that intersect it in layer B - find the first geometry that intersects point x,y in layer A and use it to select geometries that intersect it in all other layers Two questions: 1. With mode=featurequery, does setting TOLERANCE 0 in polygon layer B return the adjacent polygons to the polygon return from layer A? 2. If I make a mode=featurequery with an img.x img.y against a polygon layer slayer=A, if I also specify qlayer=A will MapServer query layer A first to find the polygon containing the point, then query layer A again to find the intersecting (adjacent) polygons?
