Re: [mapserver-users] mapserv 7.0 and gif
According to http://www.mapserver.org/MIGRATION_GUIDE.html#mapserver-6-4-to-7-0-migration: * GD graphics library support was removed (http://www.mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-99.html) and had been optional since 6.2. * GIF output cannot be produced from MapServer although 8-bit PNG output can be be produced using the AGG/PNG8 driver. It is no longer supported if I understand it correctly. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users- boun...@lists.osgeo.org] Im Auftrag von Richard Greenwood Gesendet: Freitag, 13. Februar 2015 04:13 An: mapserver Betreff: [mapserver-users] mapserv 7.0 and gif Very exciting to see the 7.0 beta! So I built it and satisfied the gif dependency. I define a gif OUTPUTFORMAT definition in my map file, I request a map with map_imagetype=image/gif but I get a PNG. So is gif support truly gone in 7.0? And if so, it seems a little misleading to have a libgif dependency in the build, to allow a gif OUTPUTFORMAT definition, and to allow a map_imagetype=image/gif request. In any case - thanks for all the work getting to 7.0! Rich -- Richard W.

Re: [mapserver-users] mapserv 7.0 and gif
Richard, Allowing for image/gif in requests and GIF outputformats is to allow existing mapfiles and requests to still be serviced without breaking, even though the returned format will be png. The gif dependency is there to allow loading of gif pixmap symbols, as was already the case. -- thomas On 12 February 2015 at 22:13, Richard Greenwood richard.greenw...@gmail.com wrote: Very exciting to see the 7.0 beta!
