Re: [mapserver-users] WMS rendering
No, I don't get any error message. I tried to remove UNITS on mapfile but it doesn't change anything. Then I tried to remove SIZEUNITS from the layer and the map finally appears! Thanks to all! Now I'll try to overlay this map on the Google Maps ;) Francesco Il 17/10/2014 11:03, Håvard Tveite ha scritto: Hi Francesco, Do you get any error messages?

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS rendering
Hi, I tested your mapfile and I believe that you indeed have trouble with 0.0019 meters wide box symbol that does not show easily. If you leave out sizeunits or use the default unit pixels and size of around 10 the symbol should show at all scales. Of course you can use meters as well with some reasonable value as size. Some comments about your mapfile: - Do not use the same name for the whole service (MAP-NAME) and a layer (LAYER-NAME). In this case it does not matter because you have only one layer. If you add more, with layers=test you would get all layers that you have in the mapfile. - MAP-UNITS should match the MAP-PROJECTION, thus correct for you is UNITS DD For the developers, shouldn't we have some built-in symbols for the points so that poor new users would not need to create a symbol before getting points visible? Even just a filled circle SYMBOL NAME point TYPE ELLIPSE POINTS 1 1 END FILLED TRUE END That would be used automatically if mapfile has only CLASS STYLE COLOR 0 0 0 SIZE 30 END END However, why not to make a built-in support for all these which the SLD specification mandates (copied from Geoserver docs): NameDescription square A square circle A circle triangleA triangle pointing up starfive-pointed star cross A square cross with space around (not suitable for hatch fills) x A square X with space around (not suitable for hatch fills) -Jukka Rahkonen- Håvard Tveite wrote Hi Francesco, Do you get any error messages?

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS rendering
Hello Francesco, no error-message, only a blank image? What's in the error-log? The MS_ERRORFILE ist set in httpd.conf? I think symbol is veryvery small. Try = 1.

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS rendering
sizeunits meters along with size 0.0019 is very probably false unless you're mapping microscopic particles :) try removing the sizeunits parameter completely and setting size to something visible in pixels (e.g. 3-5), once that is working you can start looking into scale-dependant rendering with sizeunits -- thomas On 16 October 2014 17:04, Francesco Palermo palermo.fran...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I'm experimenting the use of Mapserver as WMS and I'm encountering some problems on map rendering.
