Re: [mapserver-users] Point query from Mapserver raster

2021-11-02 Thread Rahkonen Jukka (MML)
Hi,

Yes, it is a useful hack. The same hack works with Geoservers but then 
GetFeatureInfo returns the values that are scaled to 0-255 for GetMaps instead 
of the raw values and that is not especially useful if you have a DEM layer. So 
be warned and stay with Mapserver.
None of the existing OGC standards suits well for point queries from rasters 
but the coming OGC API Coverages standard should support those 
https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogcapi-coverages/issues/112.

Thanks for the quick response, Jukka.

I did not realize that X/Y had been replaced by I/J.  I just tried that instead 
and it still worked (of course) but I still get the warning message.

I had also been trying WMS 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 earlier and I am unable to find any 
combination of versions and other query parameters to quiet the warning message.

Regarding the BBOX range, I opened the range to a full degree in each direction 
and still get the warning.  I think I will stick with the query I posted 
originally (with 1.3.0) since it works and just ignore the messages in the log.

This seems like sort of a hack to me (asking for a box when I want a point, 
etc.) which is why I asked my question in the first place.  But it works fine 
so I'm happy!

Thanks again,

carl

Re: [mapserver-users] Point query from Mapserver raster

2021-11-02 Thread Rahkonen Jukka (MML)
Hi,

(Had to clip some text from the bottom because of the size limit of this list)

You do not seem to do anything wrong. Your WMS 1.3.0 EPSG:4326 lat-long 
BBOX=42.94,-122.09,42.95,-122.08& gets converted into long-lat order and for 
some reason the lower and higher values are equal 
{-122.082500,42.942500,-122.082500,42.942500}, thus this is no more a box but a 
point.
GetFeatureInfo with a small bbox and width=2 and height=2 is a trick that is 
certainly not heavily tested because the corresponding GetMap is pretty odd 
despite being valid.  Maybe using slightly bigger BBOX makes Mapserver to query 
the backend raster with a rectangle instead of a point.
BTW X=1 and Y=1 are not valid in WMS 1.3.0, you are supposed to use i= and j= 
instead. That makes me think that maybe you could have a try with a full and 
valid WMS 1.1.0 GetFeatureInfo request with SRS= and BBOX in long-lat order and 
see if it has any effect on the msProjectRect()

Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] Point query from Mapserver raster

Hi,

Following Jukka's advice on my elevation point query, I am trying to use WMS 
GetFeatureInfo,

I've mostly got it working but have a few more questions.  (I am using MS4W 
4.0.5 which includes MapServer 7.7.0)

I added a LAYER to my WMS map file:

  LAYER
PROCESSING "RESAMPLE=BILINEAR"
NAME SRTM_3_arc-second_grid
METADATA
  "wms_title"   "SRTM - 3 arc-second grid"
  "ows_extent"  "-125 24 -66 50"
  "wms_include_items"   "all"
END

TYPE RASTER
STATUS ON
TILEINDEX "srtm_3_hgt-index.shp"
TILEITEM "Location"
TEMPLATE "../template.html"
PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:4326"
END
  END

and an empty template except for the



line.  Here's my query:

http://localhost:8080/wms?
  SERVICE=WMS&
  VERSION=1.3.0&
  REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&
  LAYERS=SRTM_3_arc-second_grid&
  CRS=EPSG:4326&
  BBOX=42.94,-122.09,42.95,-122.08&
  WIDTH=2&
  HEIGHT=2&
  X=1&
  Y=1&
  QUERY_LAYERS=SRTM_3_arc-second_grid

This works fine and returns the elevation I am expecting.  However, the 
MapServer log complains about a "degenerate rect" every time:

[Tue Nov  2 07:58:44 2021].66000 msProjectRect(): Warning: degenerate rect 
{-122.082500,42.942500,-122.082500,42.942500}

What am I doing wrong here?   As I posted originally, I am really only 
interested in a point here.

Thank you very much,

carl

Hi,

WMS GetFeatureInfo,

I've mostly got it working but have a few more questions.  (I am using MS4W

I added a LAYER to my WMS map file:

and an empty template except for the
