Re: [mapserver-users] Rasterlite

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

If your GDAL build supports the format then there should be a way to access it 
through MapServer. Key is syntax I'd guess. Maybe something like?

LAYER
  ...
  TYPE RASTER

  DATA "RASTERLITE:multirasterdb.sqlite,table=raster1"

  ...

END

You could try drawing the features with the same base color but with opacity 
set. The more times the same area is rendered you'd get a different hue.

Each map sheets is displayed as a polygonal linestring, based on its

It's easy, of course, to write a PostGIS query to return a different

whether something like that could be done by mapserver on its own, like
XOR-ing a line with what is already there. Any ideas?

Hi Jan,

For polygons you could use a small negative buffer to shrink the polygon 
slightly. You can do this in postgis, and you might be able to do it with 
mapserver if geos is compiled in. See:

http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-48.html
No, that is not what I meant. I'm looking for a trick for mapserver to color a 
linestring differently when drawing over a linestring that it has already drawn 
in a previous layer. In computer graphics you can do this by using an XOR 
brush. Essentially, the screen frame buffer functions as a sort of memory. I 
don not want to use PostGIS or GOS, too complex. I doubt if this can be done by 
MapServer, but you never know.

Not that I'm aware of. This info has been grabbed from source. I've seen
that Thomas Bonfort has done some work to handle more generic requests
instead of only WxS. Although he has prepared msModuleLoadMap() at line
322 he still assigns the map object stored in the config which results
in several problems as MS modifies it during request processing (which
is IMHO a bad idea).

So Thomas might be able to tell more about the current state and roadmap
for it.

Subject: [mapserver-users] WFS GetFeature with filter for multiple layers

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with Mapserver 5.2.1 and WFS GetFeature requests:
when I do a GetFeature request with an OGC filter for more than one layer, I 
only get results for the first layer. I found a description of the issue here: 
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/3584. It says the issue can be 
worked around by listing a separate filter for each layer, but I can't work out 
a way to do this.

My original request looks like this:

http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=mymapfile.map&Service=WFS&Request=GetFeature&TypeName=layer1,layer2&Version=1.0.0&Filter=http://www.opengis.net/ogc";>http://www.opengis.net/gml";>89760.045356755,436071.75388938
89762.029730683,436071.75388938 89762.029730683,436073.7382633
89760.045356755,436073.7382633
89760.045356755,436071.75388938

...returning only results for layer1.

I've tried repeating the exact same filter like:

http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=mymapfile.map&Service=WFS&Request=GetFeature&TypeName=layer1,
layer2&Version=1.0.0&Filter=http://www.opengis.net/ogc";> ...
 ... 

and

http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=mymapfile.map&Service=WFS&Request=GetFeature&TypeName=layer1,
layer2&Version=1.0.0&Filter=http://www.opengis.net/ogc";> ...
, ...


...but the first returns the same: only results for layer1, and the second 
returns an error.

What is the correct way to list multiple filters, or is there another solution 
to work around this limitation?

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Arjen.

You need to configure a  and set the Mapfile directive, f.e.:


  Mapfile "/path/to/mapfiles/mapfile.map"


Currently you need to create such a configuration for every MAP file you want 
to publish.

Filters are passed to the underlying driver and use the syntax of that driver

expressions use the MapServer expression syntax only. There's actually very

Hi Andrea: In expressions the tag [shape] should be used to reference the

So I try to use  this expression:

where geometry is the geometry field.
The datasource is a spatialite db where the geometry filed is named "GEOMETRY"

Hi,
I created a layer that renders pie chart with 4 classes.

The problem is some classes are render in the pie even if there is no data 
(null). That means I always have 4 slices in the pie.
How can I remove the slices with null value?

I tried using EXPRESSION without success. I specified > 0 since I think "is not 
null" is not supported
CLASS
   NAME "Cri"
   EXPRESSION ([cri] > 0)

Re: [mapserver-users] Still impossible to force labels inside their polygons?

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Label expressions might turn out to be useful here. Just thinking out loud... I 
mean we might be able to extend things and define expressions where you can 
write tests like the intersecting a label bbox against the parent shape. 
Expressions with multiple labels work like classes and are executed in order. 
Bigger issue is having to cache original geometries as part of the label cache.

Mark,

   Sounds ok (it took me a while to realize you meant the BBOX of the
polygons, not the label!).

 My world of sophisticated labeling would include some way of having
the mapfile specify the order of applying the rules, but currently there
is no way to do procedural things in a mapfile, just set parameters.  On
second thought, I guess the CLASS list evaluates things in a particular
order; perhaps the same technique could be used in label placement:

LABEL
 CHECKLABELFIT true  # Check BBOX of label against polygon outline
(not just BBOX of polygon)

 LOCATION# --- first label attempt (Case A,B) ---
 POSITION cc,ul,uc,ur
 END

 LOCATION# --- next label attempt (Case C) ---
  ANGLE auto
 END

 LOCATION# --- next label attempt (Case D) ---
 LEADER
 :
 END
 END
END

And I'd like to factor in preferring labeling in areas of no other
linework, but that may take some thought...

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

The SIZEUNITS are applied based on a computed cellsize for a map request- there 
is a conversion from meters to pixels based on an extent/image size. Without 
that same context I don't see how the legend can possibly match the map. Can 
you pass extent and image size as part of a getLegendGraphic request?

Hello,

I am testing with 6.2 and want to define a WMS with SIZEUNITS meters. My map

This is my Layerdefinition:
LAYER
NAME 'befestigte_flaechen'

METADATA
WMS_TITLE 'befestigte Flaechen'
..
END

SIZEUNITS meters

 WIDTH 0.1
 OUTLINECOLOR 58 255 84
 COLOR 250 0 0
   END
END
...
END

The Map looks good with this simple definition in the STYLE-Block.

But the getLegendGraphic-Request looks bad. The OUTLINE of the polygon in the 
legend is much too big.

When I add  MINWIDTH and MAXWIDTH to the STYLE the legend looks fine.
   STYLE
 WIDTH 0.1
 MINWIDTH 0.1
 MAXWIDTH 0.2
 OUTLINECOLOR 58 255 84
 COLOR 250 0 0
   END

But I thought that I do not need MINWIDTH and MAXWIDTH when SIZEUNITS meters is 
set (and no SYMBOLSCALEDENOM is set).

I'm assuming you're using MapServer 6.x... If so then your output format may be 
the issue. GD doesn't support 24-bit output, just 8-bit. Try deleting the 
OUTPUTFORMAT
and setting IMAGETYPE PNG24 and see if that works.

Re: [mapserver-users] Zooming

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

You could write a onClick handler that takes a zoom value, sets a hidden 
variable called zoom and submits the form.

function doZoom(zoom) {
  // set value of zoom hidden variable
  // submit the form
}

Re: [mapserver-users] Problem with attribute query, multiple attributes

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Honestly I don't think an index is going to help unless the attribute filter is 
being passed to OGR processing. I'm not familiar enough with that driver to 
know if that's done or not. Usually attribute queries are written a form the 
driver understands. For PostGIS that means a bit of a where clause, for 
Shapefiles it's the normal expression syntax. Again, not sure about OGR.

With large shapefiles attribute queries are inefficient, usually requiring full 
table scans. Bob's example:

  queryExp = "('[TOWN]' == '007-042') AND ('[TOWN]' == 'Acton'))";

will guarantee a full scan because the expression is invalid. The same feature 
can't have two values for TOWN.

Since OGR accesses the GDB via ESRI's API/Library, it may (should) take 
advantage of attribute indexes built on the data with ArcMap.  

You should make sure that the feature classes in the GDB have attribute indexes 
on any column that you want to use as query criteria and that they have good 
spatial indexes as well.  

If you don't have access to ESRI tools, you will likely want to pre-process the 
data by dumping it from the GDB to shapefiles or PostGIS, where you can create 
all of the indexes that you need.

A tip that might come in handy someday, if not in this case, could be to create 
an "attribute index" on your vector field (see example in 
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_shapefile.html); I've done this before and it's 
improved attribute queries in MapServer significantly.  You can generate one 
through an ogrinfo command with the "sql" switch.

Sorry I cannot provide exact FileGDB examples at the moment.

Subject: [mapserver-users] EXPRESSION error with MapServer 6.2

Hello,

I have a MapServer 6.2 question. I run MapServer 6.2 on Windows Server 2008.

I noticed a strange behaviour with the EXPRESSION definition while I am 
migrating my mapfiles to MapServer 6.0

This is my table:
CREATE TABLE ax_bauwerkoderanlagefuerindustrieundgewerbe
(
  ogc_fid serial NOT NULL,
  gml_id character(16), -- Identifikator, global eindeutig
  ...
  bauwerksfunktion integer,
  wkb_geometry geometry
  ...
);


DATA "wkb_geometry from (SELECT ogc_fid, bauwerksfunktion, wkb_geometry FROM 
ax_bauwerkoderanlagefuerindustrieundgewerbe) as foo using unique ogc_fid USING 
SRID=25832"

As bauwerksfunktion is an integer column my EXPRESSION definition was like this 
in MaServer < 6.0

EXPRESSION ([bauwerksfunktion] = 1210)
EXPRESSION ([bauwerksfunktion] = 1215 OR [bauwerksfunktion] = 1220 OR 
[bauwerksfunktion] = 1250 OR [bauwerksfunktion] = 1260)

Now with MapServer 6.2 it does not work anymore:
* instead of a map I get an Internal Server Error

My Logfile says:
[Thu Nov 29 15:03:31 2012].824000 msEvalExpression(): General error message. 
Invalid item index.

I also checked http://mapserver.org/mapfile/expressions.html

Does anyone has an idea?

Hello,

A few years ago, I developed a web interface to access data (informations and 
download) through spatial queries. It was based on mapserver 5.2.0 but I would 
like to update my code to mapserver 6.2.0 and I don't get how spatial queries 
are working nowadays.

As far as I understood, nquery mode is not supported anymore for URL templates 
(the error is "msReturnPage(): Web application error. 
Malformed template name") but I can't figure how it is supposed to work then.

On mapserver 5.2.0, a selection were made by drawing a rectangle and sending 
the query with:


Display
Selection


The result was displayed through template files, with a table containing some 
informations for each object selected on each activated layer (one line per 
object).

If someone could give me some informations about the "new" way to obtain such a 
result, it would be great, because I am quite lost.

Many thanks,

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

For completeness in a template you can use the item tag, e.g.:

There is also a commify option to make big numbers look nicer. (e.g. 2,123.23)

Hi Lars,

thanks for the information!

It works fine for the label.

Before I defined LABELITEM mycolumn and got  the long notation:
2.540e+000

with definition TEXT mycolumn the label looks fine (without using any
function): 2.54

Is there a solution for the query result too?

Re: [mapserver-users] SDE 10.x support...

Yes. I'm on a 64-bit Linux box and mapsde.c compiled fine against the 10.0 
client libs. Problem was it didn't work until I did two things:

  - Add "CFLAGS=-DSDE64" to configure call.
  - Fix most of warnings (all but one) that result in the above change (change 
long's to ms_int32), see https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/4521.

I was working against 6.0 and it looks like 6.2 will require the same changes. 
If you're on a 32-bit OS you probably don't need to change anything.

Re: [mapserver-users] Displaying multiple labels with the same lat/long

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Not sure about clustering, but there may be other options as well:

You might be able to simply use POSITION AUTO and give these labels a high 
priority. MapServer will place them. If you need markers in this case you'll 
need to draw those separately to avoid marker collisions. So, one layer for 
points and the other for high-priority labels.
  
Version 6.2 supports multiple labels per feature. If you can de-normalize your 
data so you have 1 point plus multiple columns of companies (e.g. company1, 
company2, etc...) then you can use this approach. There's also leader support 
when things get really tight.

We have some data we need to display which has a number of companies in

Can this be done using the cluster functionality and where do we find an

Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer Layer Filter not applying to WFS

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

One other idea. I believe you can avoid using OGR by adding your filter to 
class expressions and setting a template (which enables queries) at the class 
level. Class expressions are always checked. If you have one class it's easy:

LAYER
 NAME Traseer
 GROUP TelMe
 TYPE LINE
 DATA "TM_Nett/TM_Traces"
 CLASS
EXPRESSION'[type]' != "Bru")
# Styling and more etc
TEMPLATE 'void'
  END
  # No template set at the layer level
END

Might consider WMS-only vs. WFS-only layer defs to simplify life if you have 
multiple classes.

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer Layer Filter not applying to WFS

Hi there, mailing list,

We have a customer sending us data with sensitive information. The most 
convenient way for us is to receive the complete data set and applying a filter 
in the mapfile.

The layer definition looks like this:
LAYER
   NAME Traseer
   GROUP TelMe
   TYPE LINE
   DATA "TM_Nett/TM_Traces"
   FILTER('[type]' != "Bru")
   #Styling and more etc
END

This works flawlessly using PHP Mapscript and the mapserver WMS service. The 
data is not accessible. The problem occurs when querying by WFS. The Mapserver 
WFS service seems to omit the FILTER information and opens up for selecting 
items with the type "Bru", which is a serious security flaw.

I'd consider this as a bug, although I'm not certain. If anyone please can 
confirm this, or show me how to make mapserver filter data in WFS as well, I'd 
be much obliged.

Håkon

Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer Layer Filter not applying to WFS

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

This is known issue, but it's a bigger deal with shapefiles. The WFS filters 
essentially replace the defined filter, they are not additive. This is true for 
all drivers. This would need to be an enhancement, but It would be tricky to do 
so I think given the variety of filter types.

With RDBMS you'd just encode the filter in the data/connection information. The 
workaround in this case would be to use an OGR layer to access the shapefile 
instead which will allow you to apply SQL-like syntax at the driver level.  See

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer Layer Filter not applying to WFS

Hi there, mailing list,

We have a customer sending us data with sensitive information. The most 
convenient way for us is to receive the complete data set and applying a filter 
in the mapfile.

The layer definition looks like this:
LAYER
   NAME Traseer
   GROUP TelMe
   TYPE LINE
   DATA "TM_Nett/TM_Traces"
   FILTER('[type]' != "Bru")
   #Styling and more etc
END

This works flawlessly using PHP Mapscript and the mapserver WMS service. The 
data is not accessible. The problem occurs when querying by WFS. The Mapserver 
WFS service seems to omit the FILTER information and opens up for selecting 
items with the type "Bru", which is a serious security flaw.

I'd consider this as a bug, although I'm not certain. If anyone please can 
confirm this, or show me how to make mapserver filter data in WFS as well, I'd 
be much obliged.

Best Regards,
Håkon

[mapserver-users] MapCache (6.2) Backwards Compatability

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Trying to test the new version of mapcache, specifically the seeder, against a 
slightly older mapcache configuration file. I'm seeing an error like:

  "metatile size is not set to a power of two, rerun with e.g -M 8,8"

It's true that the tilesets in my config file have metatile set to 5,5.  I 
don't recall why that size, probably just copied directly from example 
configs... Those values haven't cause an issue to date.

I'm wondering why the requirement (power of 2) and what the effects will be if 
I do some limited tile regeneration on an existing tileset using a different 
metatile size.

Re: [mapserver-users] More Labels on a layer

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

A feature can only match 1 class... 6.2 supports multiple labels per class 
though.

Subject: [mapserver-users] More Labels on a layer

Hi,
I'm trying to have more distinct label on a single layer,.
To do this I try to set

a classgroup and three class in that group every class use a distinct label.

LAYER
...
 CLASSGROUP "aaa"
..
CLASS
 GROUP "aaa"
 LABEL
  ..
  TEXT "[FIELD1]"
  ..
 END
END
CLASS
 GROUP "aaa"
 LABEL
  ..
  TEXT "[FIELD2]"
  ..
 END
END

But seem that mapserver only apply the first class. I see only the FIELD1 label.

Perhaps mapserver allow only a label for layer ?

Thx,

Re: [mapserver-users] Layer Query

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Your syntax looks off. Below a snippet (in Perl) from RFC 65 
(http://www.mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-65.html). It applies generally 
to all languages.

my $rect = new mapscript::rectObj(42, 512, 582000, 520);
$layer->queryByRect($map, $rect); # layer is left open after this operation

for(my $i=0; $i<$layer->getNumResults(); $i++) {
   my $shape = $layer->getShape($layer->getResult($i));
   ...

You're right, duh, I should have checked first. Echoing the parameter as you 
noted is your best bet. Regarding ticket #4511, if you're adventuresome you 
could try replacing calls to msReplaceSubstring() with msCaseReplaceSubstring() 
in the for-loop around L4003 in maptemplate.c and report back.

Re: [mapserver-users] 8 bit versus 24 bit output in MapServer 6.x

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Have you tried pre-computing image palettes? I've had some very good luck with 
rendering 24-bit PNGs and then running them through a pre-computed palette 
(there's an output format option for this). To do this I create a couple 
representative sample images using MapServer with 24-bit PNG output. I then use 
Photoshop to mosaic them into one image and then do a color reduction (usually 
to 128 colors). Then I use GDAL to extract the palette/color table. The 
advantages are colors that are very consistent between tiles and very small 
images. The rec. compass tiles (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/compass.html) 
use this approach (via MapServer/MapCache).

Ahh, just got this. I'm not sure I have anything useful to say other
than: If it hurts, don't do that! :) Seriously, if you can live with a
jpeg, you might get the results you want in a smaller size, but I have
not tried it. That said, this does look like a bug, so maybe Thomas has
something to add.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

*NASA World Wind Server to Leverage MapServer Open Source Engine*

Moffett Field, CA. 16 October 2012

The NASA World Wind project team has selected the MapServer Open Source mapping 
engine to serve its many digital raster formats to World Wind clients.  
MapServer will serve images and raw data through the Internet by various Open 
Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards.  Providing large amounts of spatial data 
(including world-wide coverage of digital elevation models, DEMs, and aerial 
imagery) to World Wind clients requires a high performance architecture that 
will now use the MapServer engine, caching of images, and load-balanced 
servers.  Technical expertise for MapServer will be provided by Mapgears 
(Chicoutimi, QC) and Gateway Geomatics (Lunenburg, NS). Due to MapServer 
compliance with OGC standards and World Wind Server standards, except for 
possibly the increased performance provided by MapServer, this transition will 
be entirely transparent to the World Wind user community.

"MapServer will allow the NASA World Wind a smooth transition to a mature Open 
Source engine," said Patrick Hogan, the NASA Project Manager of World Wind.

Daniel Morissette, President of Mapgears, added "We are thrilled to have this 
opportunity to work with the NASA World Wind team to help push the limits of 
the technology and to contribute with MapServer to the next generation of NASA 
World Wind Servers that will deliver the data of organizations around the world 
for years to come."


Jeff McKenna, Director of Gateway Geomatics, said "Our long-time focus on 
assisting organizations publish their spatial data through MapServer, 
especially on the Windows platform, adds a key piece of an innovative solution 
with the Mapgears team.  Together we will help to allow the World Wind 
community to visualize and analyze large amounts of data efficiently through 
MapServer."  Jeff also believes that this project will help both the MapServer 
and World Wind communities grow.

Re: [mapserver-users] Echo PHP in a query template?

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Definitely not something done in MapServer proper. However, I thought with 
Apache you could do some process chaining/filtering. You might look at the 
various Apache modules (mod_filter is one) and see if there's anything there.

Bob,
Not as coded.  The template file is read by mapserver, it then makes text 
substitutions (eg "[username]") , and sends the result to std out.  Then the 
web server sends it to the browser.  The web server does not do any 
interpreting of the PHP in this case.

What  did you want to do?

Re: [mapserver-users] Starting label from start-line

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Steve, I don't think this is possible. The GEOMTRANSFORM is a style-level 
option geared towards adding arrow heads and stuff like that. It has no bearing 
on labeling. We'd need a label origin or something like that and I don't know 
of a way to do that.

One thing to try would be using the REPEATDISTANCE parameter and giving it a 
ridiculously large value (in pixels). That might place just a single label at 
the beginning of a line and no others.

Re: [mapserver-users] MODE=legendicon & GROUP Layers

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Legend icon only works with layers. Groups are just too ambiguous to uniquely 
identify the class to be rendered. Groups don't have to be organized by scale 
ranges. Often they link related layers, for example  a bunch of road feature 
types. I think It would be possible to add support to see if a group name can 
resolve to a single layer based on scale but that doesn't exist in the code at 
this point.

our mapfiles slightly, making use of GROUP LAYERs to group almost identical 
LAYERs together, the only difference in the LAYERs being MAX & MINSCALEDENOM 
and the DATA request string to our PostGIS database – hitting a generalised 
version of the geometry at smaller scales.

LAYER
NAME 'lri_luc_main_gen_500k'
GROUP 'lri_luc_main'
DATA 'the_geom_gen_500k FROM "data"."lri" USING UNIQUE gid 
USING srid=2193'
INCLUDE 'includes/lri_luc_main_layer.inc'
MINSCALEDENOM 251001
END
LAYER
NAME 'lri_luc_main_full'
GROUP 'lri_luc_main'
DATA 'the_geom FROM "data"."lri" USING UNIQUE gid USING 
srid=2193'
INCLUDE 'includes/lri_luc_main_layer.inc'
MAXSCALEDENOM 251000
MINSCALEDENOM 15000
END

The request for the legend icon is of the form:

http:///cgi-bin/mapserv.fcgi?FORMAT=image/gif&MAP=lri.map&MODE=legendicon&ICON=lri_luc_main,1

This worked fine before we started using GROUPs, however now we now encounter 
the error:

mapserv(): Web application error. Icon layer=lri_luc_main not found in map file.

Does the legendicon mode work with GROUP layers?
If not, is there a way round this?

Or alternatively, perhaps there is a better way to request a generalised 
version of the geometry that doesn't involve GROUP LAYERs?

Any help or suggestions much appreciated.

Many thanks

Andrew

Re: [mapserver-users] retrieve map coordinates with different EPSG

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Assuming you're sending the request in pixels, along with a map extent, 
MapServer will convert the point based on the SRS of the extent you passed. I'm 
thinking that won't get you what you want and I'm not sure of a way to do so. 
The various extent tags have projection capabilities built in but the point 
ones don't.

I looked at the documentation because I haven’t used in a while.  The docs 
aren’t clear, but seem to imply that MAPXY should return coordinates in the 
same spatial reference system as the layer that you are querying.

I kind of think that they should be in the spatial reference system of the map. 
 Either way, try setting the map projection to the SRS that you want to get the 
coordinates back in.  You will also have to change the extent values.

I need the parameters [mapx] and [mapy] will return the coordinate of a clicked

I possible in the templates set semothing to have this coordinates [mapx],

I see there is the [maplon] and [maplat] parameter.
But I need have the coords in another projected EPSG system rather than

Re: [mapserver-users] Still impossible to force labels inside their polygons?

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

It's tough to know what I'm looking at from the picture. What does the layer 
definition look like?

At the moment polygon label point computation tries a couple of approaches get 
a label point inside the polygon: 1) compute a center of gravity 2) if that 
computation doesn't work (e.g. point is too close to the edge) then a 
scanline-based process is used to sample possible positions. The mid-point of 
the longest y sample is used.

It's always trade-off with speed and the above seems a happy medium.

Hi,

Thank you for the answer. A little screenshot shows an example with two label 
points  inside one polygon and one polygon without a label point at all. 
Perhaps we could have more accurate polygon label positioning on our wish list.

Yes, still impossible. POSITION CC + MINFEATURESIZE AUTO will get you close. 
However, MINFEATURESIZE AUTO uses bounding box checks and doesn't intersect a

Re: [mapserver-users] Different image for each point

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

You can't do expressions as originally discussed but you can use attribute 
binding. This requires the image file name be in a single attribute. Syntax is:

  SYMBOL [FILENAME]  # no quotes

This basically creates symbols at runtime so the images are cached based on 
filename I believe.

A lot of this code has been changed in 6.2, but I think the basics still work. 
I'm not sure if images are cached or not when using this method or if it 
matters in your case. I guess ideally if it were a fixed set of images then you 
want caching, but it they are all different then you probably want to turn 
caching off, but I do not think there are any controls for that. If you have 
the whole path to the image in the attribute then you do not need to use an 
expression to concatenate the path and name so it simplies to:

SYMBOL '[FILENAME]'

Also be aware that you should probably use a POINT layer and not ANNOTATION 
layers as the latter is deprecated in 6.2 so upgrading it will be easier.

Probably, you'd do it through an annotation layer. What version are you using? 
What interface (CGI, WMS, WCS)? Basically the idea would be to funnel the time 
parameter into a TEXT expression in the annotation layer. Layer would look like 
(assuming a variable called 'time' is passed) this I think:

LAYER
  NAME 'timestamp'
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TRANSFORM LL # lower-left corner of the
  FEATURE
POINTS 10 10 END
  END
  VALIDATION
'time' 'some expression that matches time values'
  END
  CLASS
LABEL
  ...
END
TEXT '%time%'
  END
END

This would plop the passed time in the lower left corner of the output, or at 
least I think it should.

Re: [mapserver-users] Are WMS GetFeatureInfo results ordered by distance?

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Order is determined by the order of the features in the underlying data source. 
To do what you suggest, a good idea BTW, we'd need to change things a bit:

  - need to log distance computation
  - need to develop a sort utility
  - need to alter certain query code to apply a feature count at the very end, 
after all candidates are found and a distance sort is done

Probably RFC worthy.

What results will be selected if GetFeatureInfo finds more features within the

are they just the first hits?  If they were ordered by distance then 
GetFeatureInfo could be used for finding N nearest features which might be nice

Re: [mapserver-users] issue when upgrading layer from 5.x to 6.0

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Nothing jumps out. Are you using INCLUDES or and external symbol file? Wonder 
if the line number is off or referencing another file.

Hello,

I am upgrading a mapfile from Mapserver 5.x to Mapserver 6.0.  This map works 
fine in 5.x, however it crashes on the "STYLE" line.  If anyone sees anything 
wrong with this layer let me know.

LAYER

DATA './LyonCounty/Boundaries/Townships'
MINSCALEDENOM 15000

#SYMBOL 'hatch-test'

Thank you for your help

Re: [mapserver-users] getShape failing; changes from mapserver 5.6 to 6.0

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Yup, sorry it's Perl. The getResult($) should be getResult($i). Syntax for PHP 
should be pretty close I think, method names are the same.

Thanks a lot, Steve.

However, I had tried this out before, but "getResult($)"? I think this is Perl, 
no? In PHP this would be different?

Sorry for a dumb question…

Re: [mapserver-users] Basic Templating

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

If you're using templates to present query results the template should be 
referenced in a layer. TEMPLATE in the web object is for mode=browse only and 
is generally not used much anymore.

What does your query URL look like? The template you pasted below doesn't look 
to contain any references to layer attributes. It looks like just a stock 
browse template.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver Template - Conditionals

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Hi Donald: To answer your questions...

1. You can't do an AND with [item ...] tags. They are single item only. We'd 
really need to introduce true conditionals into the templates. It's done a bit 
for legend templates but I don't know how much work is necessary to extend 
that. One work around idea would be to create a compound item if using a RDMS 
data source and write patterns against that.

2. Consider filing ticket for that one. Covers item 4 too.

3. I actually had something along those lines in mind at one point. I'll have 
to check my old notes. Note that if the patterns are mutually exclusive you can 
just write:

[item name="A" pattern="1" format="Output1"][item name="B" pattern="2" 
format="Output2"][item name="C" pattern="3" format="Output3" 
nullformat="Output4"]

The default format would just be the null format for one of these. But I agree 
this has it's limits...

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapserver Template - Conditionals

Hi List,

A few questions/points on templating:

1.
I know it's possible to use "item" in a template as follows:

[item name="featurecode" pattern="10021"
format="BuildingsBuilding" escape=none]

But, is it possible to do something like:

[item featurecode="10021" pattern="1" AND item lineitem="12345" pattern="2"
format="."]

That is, returns true of both, or more, criteria are met.

The only other way I can think of doing this is in the SQL query that runs on 
the layer.


2.
Also, when I use use [item ...] and the criteria isn't met, it still causes an 
additional blank line to be created in the output file. It would be quite good 
if it did not create the cr/lf. Maybe nullformat could be used to enforce this 
in some way but nullformat="" still creates a blank line.


3.
It would be nice if the item tag could also deal with a case/select statement 
e.g.

[item name="A" pattern="1" format="Output1"] ELSE [item name="B" pattern="2" 
format="Output2"] ELSE [item name="C" pattern="3" format="Output3"] DEFAULT 
[item name="D" pattern="4" format="Output4"]


4.
And finally, when using:

[resultset layer=LayerName]
[feature]

Two blank lines are created in the output file. It would be good if these tags 
didn't do that.


Many thanks.

Donald

Re: [mapserver-users] getShape failing; changes from mapserver 5.6 to 6.0

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

The query code underwent major changes between 5.6 and 6.0 and one casualty was 
query processing like you're doing. On the bright side it's much more straight 
forward now. The general steps for a layer-based query is now just:

$layer->queryByRect($map, $rect); # layer is left open after a query operation

for($i=0; $i<$layer->getNumResults(); $i++) {
   $shape = $layer->getShape($layer->getResult($)); # much simpler
   # do something with the shape
}

I see the MapScript/Swig query docs are woefully out of date. I'll file a 
ticket on that...

Hi there,

I am struggling with a few changes I need to go through in order to make my 
code working now with mapserver 6.x. This one concerns the query part, when a 
user clicks on the map and a window with some metadata is being displayed.

An error message occurred:

"Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to layerObj::getShape() must 
be an instance of resultObj, integer given"

When I changed the getShape command as indicated here [1], it says:

"Fatal error: Call to a member function getShape() on a non-object"


This is the code:

//Query the Map at the point clicked
if (!$imgbox)
@$a = $map -> queryByPoint($click_pt, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);
else
$a = $map -> queryByRect($click_rt);

if ($a == MS_SUCCESS)
{

$numResults = $Layer -> getNumResults();
$oLayer = $map -> getLayer($Layer -> index);

// Open layer's table... take the list of fields to display 
from 
// the "HEADERRESULT_FIELDS" metadata in the layer object.
$oLayer -> open();

$oRes = $oLayer -> getResult(0);
//$oShape = $oLayer -> 
getShape($oRes->tileindex,$oRes->shapeindex);// before
$oShape = $layer -> getShape($oLayer -> getResult(0));  
// now ??


while(list($key, $val) = each($oShape -> values))

//echo "x - ".count($selFields)." - ".$key . " = " . 
$val;
if (($key <> "META_DATA") AND ($key <> "oid") AND ($key

$selFields[count($selFields)] = $key;
}



Not sure what I should put there...

the opacity of a layer for a particular client. I thought, I can achieve this 
using map script. But, one thing which is not clear to me is : If I change the 
opacity of a layer through the map script , will the changes get reflected back 
in to the map file and then to any other clients accessing that map file?

If I make changes to the existing map object using mapscript , will those 
changes be reflected back on to the map file? Please someone clarify me this 
point.

Thanks in advance!

Donald, thank you very much for your reply,

I already have the string "gml_featureid" "ogc_fid" in the map file.
Here is my template.html:
***


קבר

AttributeValue

הפניה:[ogc_fid]
שם מלא:[shem_mal]
תאריך:[tarih]
אידי:[unick_id]



***


There are 2 more fields with "_", them work good. Problem only with [ogc_fid] 
(I tryed to change register - also don't work).

here is schema of layer (spatialite myfile.sqlite -> .shema layername):
***
CREATE TABLE 'gves' (   OGC_FID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, "GEOMETRY" POINT, 'gush' 
VARCHAR, 'halka' FLOAT, 'ms_sh' FLOAT, 'ms_sh_1' FLOAT, 'mispar' FLOAT, 'shem' 
VARCHAR, 'mishpaha' VARCHAR, 'min' VARCHAR, 'tarih' VARCHAR, 'tarih_1' VARCHAR,

'ptira' VARCHAR, 'knia' VARCHAR, 'shem_mal' VARCHAR, 'gusheng' VARCHAR, 
'kvarim' FLOAT, 'unick_id' VARCHAR);
***

May be OGC_FID is some sort of special field in spatialite files. As you see in 
schema it looks not as another fields. Of cource, I can create a new field and 
copy there values from OGC_FID, but I want to try to find the way without 
changing the struture of table.

Thank you for help

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver Template - BBOX

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Wonder if [rawext] will work? Worth a quick try but I doubt it. That value will 
get you the un-altered extent used
for map draws or queries but only through CGI calls.

I think what's happening is that because WFS works generally outside the CGI 
object that that some of the tracking 
variables referenced by the template code aren't being populated.

The fix is relatively easy but there are a number of ways to go about it. 
Donald, can you create a ticket so this 
can get into 6.2 (I hope)...

Re: [mapserver-users] Can Map Server serve non WMS services?

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

We would have to know more about what the extensions do and how they are 
implemented to comment more in detail. There are certainly options. For 
example, you could use MapScript OWS support and develop a custom service that 
way. Another option would be to use GetFeatureInfo request paired with 
different responses (via template perhaps) to change the nature of the 
information returned.

Depending on how the extensions are implemented you might also be able to 
support the different response types using mod-rewrite or something like that.

Subject: [mapserver-users] mapserver crash on wfs query, looks like issue 4166, 
could someone confirm ?

dear all

I stumbled upon a Mapserver problem, which looks like the existing bug
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/4166
but im not exactly sure,
I would really appreciate if someone could confirm (or not) if that's what 
happening in this case.

Here is the problem description:

I have two Shapefile layers.

When I do a wfs query on both of them, Mapserver crash.
(Strangely doing a wfs query on each of them, alone, gives a normal result)

As proposed in the bug description, I replaced the DATA by CONNECTIONTYPE 
OGR/CONNECTION and the problem was solved.

This problem could be reproduced with Mapserver 6.0.0 and 6.0.3

I dont really know how to do a WFS query on mapserver using commandline with 
gdb so I only have the raw stacktrace:
http://dev.camptocamp.com/files/mapserver/raw_backtrace.txt

thanks in advance for any info
best regards
Oliver

Re: [mapserver-users] One template for every text type

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

The QUERYABLE parameter was never implemented so you still must define a layer 
TEMPLATE to mark a layer as being queryable. The template need not exist so 
typically I just do:

  TEMPLATE 'void'

The link between layers and OUTPUTFORMAT templates are in the templates 
themselves via the [resultset] tag.

Hi Steve,
thx for hint.

I read the doc and also the RFC 36.
I'm having also some doubt.

I try to set this output format:

  OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME "delimitazione_fogli_xml"
MIMETYPE "text/xml"
DRIVER "TEMPLATE"
FORMATOPTION "FILE=/pat-to-ex-template-on-layer-level/template_xml.tmpl"
  END

  at WEB level I set this value:
WEB
   METADATA
  "wms_feature_info_mime_type" "text/xml"
   END
END

And how explained from RFC I comment the template from layer level and try to 
add the tag
QUERYABLE TRUE
(But this option seem to be not supported from MapServer 6.2 trunk)

If I remove the template tag from layer level I have this error:

msWMSFeatureInfo(): WMS server error. Requested layer(s) are not queryable.

And if I try to add the QUERYABLE TRUE tag I have
this error:

>Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (QUERYABLE)

So I need to maintain the template ad Layer level. This force the layer to use 
the template from that tag instead of the tag from FORMATOPTION.

Also I don't understand how to link the specific format option the a specific 
layer.

Thx,

Andrea.

Hi Andrea: You can define multiple output formats that use the template driver. 
They can each have different names and mime-types. You can even use mime 
subtypes if you needed, say, two XML formats. The MapServer CGI supports a 
parameter called qformat that allows you to change the query template to be 
used. I'm not sure how this works with WFS, probably via mime-type.

Hi,

As report from documentation, MapServer will allow to define a template to set 
the return from an identify.

I need to define almost two distinct kind of returns:
One for user (text/plain or text/html) and one for business application 
(text/xml).

So I like to define not only a template for return an XML but also a template 
for return an html page.

I don't know how to say to MapServer what template us for text/html and what

Is this possibile ?

Re: [mapserver-users] mapserver fastcgi warnings when msQueryByPoint() Search returns no results

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Not a fcgi expert, but looking at the code any error calls writeError() in 
mapserv.c which ends with exit(0). So as written the behavior you're seeing is 
expected. I don't believe there is much overhead with restarting though.

Subject: [mapserver-users] mapserver fastcgi warnings when msQueryByPoint() 
Search returns no results

I am not sure if this is a problem or not but I was wondering if anyone else 
has experienced fastcgi warnings with every msQueryByPoint that returns no 
results ?  Everything works as expected when querying a point that returns a 
result or simply panning or zooming the map.  However, when a user clicks on 
the map and the query returns no results the fastcgi terminates the pid and 
creates a new one.  Is this normal behavior ?  I am very much a novice with 
fastcgi but it seems like this will slow things down and is counter intuitive 
to using fastcgi.  The user experience is not affected but if we could make 
things faster that would always be good.

We are using the following setup:
Ubuntu 64bit Server - 10.10
Mapserver 6.0.1
Apache/2.2.16
mod-fastcgi 2.4.6-1

Below I have included a except of the mapserver MS_ERRORFILE and the apache2

[mapserver-users] Template Questions (was How to get layer name in an identify template?)

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

That's not to say the references are completely current. ;-)

If you do run a across missing information or whatever it's easiest to just 
file a ticket, or drop a note to the mailing list.

To answer your other questions:


* [bbox] is not a standard template tag. However, if you set a variable 
called "bbox" in your query request then that variable is available in template 
output (HTML escaped first to prevent cross-site scripting).

* [shpext] and other feature specific tags can only be used within a 
[feature] block or in the old-style feature templates. Perhaps this can be made 
clearer in the docs.

Thank you for the references, Steve.

I'm sure I've used "[bbox]" in a template which is not listed in the first 
link. I think I also had some issues regarding where tags like "[shpext]" can 
be used within or outwith the "[resultset layer=LayerName]" and "[feature]" 
tags. I will need to revisit the work that I was doing since I've put it on the 
back burner just now. I don't want to hi-jack this thread which is now resolved.

Re: [mapserver-users] will Mapserver ever support SLD inside Mapfile?

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Hi Giovanni: Inline SLD has been talked about and was on the roadmap for 6.0 I 
believe. Sadly it didn't get done for that release and out resident SLD expert  
has had precious little time to spend on the project in recent months. I think 
it's going to take a particularly motivated developer or user to make it happen 
(patches gladly accepted). Conceptually it doesn't seem that difficult. That 
is, defining an SLD block within a class or a style or should it be within a 
layer. I guess that's where the complications lie. It really depends on the SLD 
capabilities already part of MapServer. Seems to me that if you can read SLD 
from a WMS request then pulling from the mapfile proper shouldn't be difficult.

Re: [mapserver-users] show only classes in legend within current extent

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Nope. It's not a very hard problem, but it's computationally expensive. My 
thought is that we'd have to add class counters to the legendObj and populate 
them during a map draw. That means for mode=legend you'd also have to draw a 
map or at least mimic it.

Steve,

I don't think that any of those options will work for me. I have fifteen zoom 
levels and the map coverage is complete except for three. Those three are a 
made up of an image returned after querying PostGIS so a blank image is 
effectively created since there are no points, lines or polygons returned from 
the PostGIS query at that zoom level i.e. to all intents and purposes, a valid 
map is returned except that there's noting in it. It's these particular zoom 
levels where I am trying to display the "no coverage' message. I had thought

Couple of options.


1)  You can create a layer that displays that text in the middle of the map 
and have it turn on below a certain scale. If doing tiling w/meta-tiling you'd 
want draw the text the same number of times as you have meta-tiles. That would 
take some mucking about but it's doable.

2)  There's a little used parameter in the WEB section called 
MINTEMPATE/MAXTEMPLATE. MapServer will redirect to the URL specified depending 
on scale. It's been ages since I used it but in theory you could reference an

Re: [mapserver-users] Anaimated images as map sources

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

I'm not an AGG expert but that's probably not the component in play here 
anyway. Presumably whatever the source imagery it would/should be considered a 
raster dataset. I guess I'd look into how GDAL deals with animated input and 
then figure out if that can be configured through MapServer. I guess it 
wouldn't surprise me if GDAL considered individual frames as bands. Maybe 
that's the way to think about.

Hi Steve,

So,

What AGG functions are used in MapServer?  I just went looking for what AGG 
stood for.  Found some animation examples, but they were final constructs, not 
specifically clipping an existing animated image.

What I was going to attempt, was to to try and set up a animated image from 
NOAA as a data source for Mapserver.  They have the separate images available 
as well, which I would need to assemble after clipping into a image, Hmmm, 
maybe a layer per time index, ten hit that from the CGI through MapServer, then 
into a animated image for use in the map.  Still sounds clunky though.

Can Mapserver slice and dice an Animated (GIF or PN or ??) map source image and

I found a refernce to it NOT owrking for a WMS to WMS call where the upstream 
WMS service would produce a Animated GIF, but the downstream Mapserver WMS

Your regex only allows for 1 character after ogc_fid. I'd rewrite as:

  '^ogc_fid=[0-9]{1,5}$'

This restricts the number a bit more, plus doesn't allow characters before or 
after. Really you could to:

   VALIDATION
 'ogc_fid'  '^[0-9]{1-5}$'
   END
   FILTER "ogc_fid=%ogc_fid%"

That's a lot cleaner.

This question from earlier in the year has finally got to the top of our to do 
list.

The issue is how to draw a circle at a given size (ideally in miles) when using 
"proj=ortho".

Everything works well when using "proj=latlong" and SIZEUNITS miles.

Is this the expected behaviour and we do not understand something or is this a 
problem?

This does not work in all cases as we hoped,  or we may not  understand how to 
use the overall ma projection correctly.

All the layers have the projection set to "proj=latlong,ellps=WGS84".

However if we set the overall map projection from this to "proj=ortho"
the layer with the sizeunits set disappears.

Is this an issue related to the projection or that the map units are now 
different.

If we remove the sizeunits from the layer with the circles they reappear but of 
course are not the correct size (in miles).

Yes, add minwidth 1 and maxwidth 1 to force the width to 1 pixel.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver/PostGIS Faster Initial Load Time

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

I've noticed latency the first time mapserv is executed, presumably as a result 
of loading into memory and dynamic linking. Once the OS caches everything it's 
nice and snappy. I tend to see that only on my development versions though 
because on our production boxes the executables are hit often enough that they 
are always in memory. Unless access is very infrequent I'd think latency due to 
loading a binary would be rare. 

I suppose you could simulate traffic on the server-side to make sure everything 
is memory resident. That is, make a small request every 5 minutes or whatever 
using cron or the Windows equivalent.

I'm not experienced enough with PostGIS to know if there's any tuning to do 
there. Maybe others have ideas.

Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] Mapserver/PostGIS Faster Initial Load Time

Steve,

It's not a scientific measurement. For this particular example, the whole
setup (server and client) is on a XP SP3 machine with 4 Gb memory. From the
point when the mapping page is requested, the time taken to start seeing
tiles returned is about 15 seconds. After that initial time, the images come
in thick and fast. I'm pretty sure that it's the first load of mapserv.exe
and, if the requested layer is via postgis, the first load of postgis. I'm
trying to think of ways to speed up that initial load like, as I said in the
last post, requesting a map tile on the fly (and hidden) so that mapserv.exe
has been run once and is in memory ready for the next, or first 'real',
request. It's probably the only downside to a system that I've got running
like a little sweetie just now.

It's basically a classic asp website running on IIS but I can switch between
IIS and Apache for the mapping WMS/WFS. Both are quite fast and both run
FastCGI though Apache seems a little more stable when a lot of tiles are
requested with a lot of fast map drags; sometimes IIS gives up on individual
request. Whether IIS or Apache, there's still this initial load delay of
about 15 seconds. This may be something that I have to live with but I'm
trying to improve that initial load if possible.

To go back to your original question, my guess is that the load time is a
server issue rather than a client problem though I may be wrong.

Donald

After that, it flies along fine.

I've tried pre-loading in a hidden browser instance but that didn't work. I
cannot get that initial load time down at all.

Any tips to reduce the time taken for the first load of the software:
Specifically Mapserver whether it's creating the map from PostGIS or the

I've used MapServer via/OGR with the newish File GeoDatabase format and it does

This is a "just wondering" question-  Has anyone used MapServer with ESRI 
Geodatabases as a data source?  In particular, I was wondering about file 
geodatabases?  Honestly, I don't have plans to do this myself, but I am 
preparing a presentation on Open Source web mapping, and I'm sure this question 
will come up.

So, if anyone has used a GDB with MapServer, I'd appreciated any feedback, good

Re: [mapserver-users] Scripted geoprocessing

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Hi Sam: MapScript does have GEOS functions built into it so you might be able 
to use just those. I remember doing something along these line using Perl 
MapScript. I don't have the script handy but I think I used a hash of shapes 
based on the attribute value in question. For each shape you simple add all the 
parts to the right hash element. Could either use the Union operator or just 
add the parts. Then once you have processed every feature in the shapefile(s) 
you do a buffer(0) on each of the hash elements with I think effectively does a 
dissolve. Of course you need to save the dissolved shape someplace too. In Perl 
this is not a very long script: a loop to build the hash of shapes and another 
loop to process the hash.

"Are we missing a few things like the response and the mapfile snippet? Also

I guess the email-er that sent around the post didn't include anything within 
the "raw" tags. Here's the full text again (without the tags):

I have a Map file with a polygon layer that has an OPACITY value of 20 defined 
as:

  LAYER
   NAME "Poly_wOpacity"
   TYPE POLYGON
   OPACITY 20
   STATUS ON
   PROJECTION
 "init=epsg:3857"
   END
   INCLUDE "../../../mapserv/conf/sdeconnection.inc.map"
   DATA "...,SHAPE,SDE.DEFAULT"
   METADATA
 "wms_title" "Polygon Layer w/Opacity of 20"
 "wms_srs"   "epsg:3857"
   END
   CLASS
 NAME "Polygon Layer w/Opacity of 20"
 STYLE
   COLOR 255 0 0
 END
   END
  END

I see a correctly opaque display when I do a GetMap or a GetLegendGraphic, so I 
know the OPACITY value is set properly. However, when I perform a GetStyles 
request, the returned SLD doesn't include anything about the opacity. The 
response is:

  

Poly_wOpacity



Polygon Layer w/Opacity of 20


#ff






  

Am I wrong to expect to see a "fill-opacity" CssParameter for this layer? I am 
using Mapserver 6.0.1 and, since it might have some bearing of this question, 
the OUTPUTFORMAT for the map is defined as follows:
  
OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME png32
  DRIVER "AGG/PNG"
  MIMETYPE "image/png"
  IMAGEMODE RGBA
  EXTENSION png
  FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
  TRANSPARENT ON
END

If there is some pointers someone can offer to get this information returned 
properly, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,

Re: [mapserver-users] AGG: Internal vs. External

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

MapServer ships with AGG and it's built by default. I believe in 6.0 the "PNG" 
output format references GD. If you want to use AGG try "PNG24" instead or roll 
your own OUTPUTFORMAT block.

Hello

I am using Mapserver as a WMS server and would like to improve the rendered 
image quality. Currently we get jagged lines and poor text rendering as  you 
can see in this link

http://www.bicimapas.com.mx/SpatiaRetail.html


Source are SHP files. We plan to use AGG to improve this and are using 
Mapserver 6.01. I have not installed AGG  but when running /.configure it shows 
AGG Support: Internal and with ./mapserv -v shows  SUPPORTS: AGG.

The question is whether there is a difference between internal or external
AGG support?   Is this internal AGG support provided by GD?  Finally, is
there a suggestion on how to improve the image rendering quality?


The map file has this image rendering setting:

MAP
NAME "DemoFerre"
UNITS dd
SIZE 640 480
IMAGECOLOR 244 244 244
IMAGETYPE png
SHAPEPATH "/home/bicimapas/mapdata/"

Re: [mapserver-users] Shift of half a pixel

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

What version are you talking about? How do you know there is a shift? That is, 
what is your reference? Is it possible there's a difference in the bounding box 
model? For WMS the bbox represents the outside dimensions of the pixels in an 
image.

Steve

Note: MapServer uses a pixel center bbox model but that difference (with WMS's 
representation) is taken into account in the WMS code.

Hi all,

We are trying to get VHR satellite imagery to run as a WMS in different GIS 
clients. When we compare the original image (we tried different formats, tif, 
ecw, virtual formats etc.) to the hosted image we see a shift in the pixels. 
Looks like a minor warp or transform.

We are unable to find what is causing this error. We tried using different 
output drivers, and different output and input formats. It looks like serving 
with GDAL as output format and Imagemode on FLOAT32 gives the best result, 
however in black and white.

If this is a known issue, is anyone able to tell me the (in)accuracy of the 
shift? Or is it not supposed to happen altogether?

You might be be able to use AJAX to access the XML and parse it using 
JavaScript. That's one idea. You could also consider offline parsing of the 
XML. For example a cron job could be run every so often to extract the 
necessary value into a text file. You could then include that value into 
template or even mapfile content. If the XML data doesn't change that often 
then this might be a good option.

[mapserver-users] RE: legend not visible with maxscaledenom set

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

How are you creating the legend? One work-around would be to fake a map 
associated with a call to create a legend. That is, set EXTENT and SIZE to 
values that would generate a computed scale below your MaxScaleDenom. I've done 
that when using mode=legend where you set mapext and mapsize as needed. 
Otherwise we'd really need to implement an override parameter (perhaps a 
processing directive) to ignore scale when compiling the legend.

This appears to be an old problem, but I am still having trouble with it in 
MapServer 6.0.2.   If I have a layer without a Maxscaledenom set, the layer 
legend displays properly.  But if I set the Maxscaledenom, the legend does not

level or the class level.

I've looked though the archives and have seen this problem since version 5, but

Set a *vector* layer that places the text you're interested in with a 
MAXSCALEDENOM that matches the MINSCALEDENOM of your raster layer. You might 
have to play with it a bit to deal with tiling.

RE: [mapserver-users] Mapfile verification tool

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

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. 
Best to take it an error at a 
time for most cases. This might be useful more for between version migration 
where the mapfile is structurally
sound but keywords have changed.

We could write a dumber version of shp2img that only tries to load the mapfile 
and report an error but I'm not
sure it's worth the effort.

Understand, but i mean only valid/invalid output from test script. If some 
error will raised - mapfile is invalid, with no other information where 
otherwise mapfile is OK.

Other than using shp2img or one of the other command-line executables I'm 
afraid there isn't a validator.

Hello all,

Is there a tool available to check the mapfile syntax?   I am working with a
file that is getting quite large and it is easy to, for example, miss or add an 
"END".

Thanks  

Alberto Najera
