[mapserver-users] 16 bit (rgb 565) output format

Is it possible to output in old fashioned true colour 16 bit rgb 565 format? I have been looking through the output format settings and cannot see anything. If not does anyone know of a util to convert from 24 bit to 16 bit. Thanks Ian ___ mapserver-u

RE: [mapserver-users] Mapfile verification tool

Well, we spend a few hours debugging a 900 plus lines mapfile. We missed a few ends, had a few extra of them plus some other errors like typos in the source file calls. So a tool like this would be extremely useful. I use UltraEdit version 14.00a and have was not aware of such a template. How can

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapfile verification tool

What's the state of the XML mapfile? Could one create their mapfile in an XML editor to generate a syntactically valid mapfile (through xslt) then use shp2img to verify data connections? On 5/15/2012 11:57 AM, Lime, Steve D (DNR) wrote: > Shp2img already provides this capability and is more port

All, I've approached this topic over the years by having a nice Syntax editor available for MapFiles. Both VI and UltraEdit have proven to have good syntax templates for highlighting of edited MAPFILEs. I know this is exactly what was being asked about. But upon further thought, I wonder

RE: [mapserver-users] Mapfile verification tool

Shp2img already provides this capability and is more portable than MapScript. I think ideally we'd develop a validator that spits out all errors but that's probably not possible either since many common error states (like a missing END or quote) will trigger a whole bunch of false positives. B

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapfile verification tool

I mean something like this: import sys import mapscript try: m = mapscript.mapObj(sys.argv[1]) print 'VALID (%s layers found)' % m.numlayers except: print 'INVALID' I did some tests and it seems working. Even it outputs detailed parsing error message (for example: loadP

Re: [mapserver-users] Some Doubts in WMS Time Documentation

Thank You very much for your reply.. I have read that document for like thousand times but could never understand that. I am still confused because the layer "time_idx" is polygon type(which is vector type) layer, So how I will be able to render raster based upon time. I have my rasters (with tilin

hi all, I am trying to setup a WMS MAP Server for time based query of raster images. In the given last example (PostGIS One) of this wms time documentation I had some doubts: 1.) No database table is specified in the raster layer configuration. Does that me
