[Geomoose-users] RASTER & GEOmoose frustration

[Dan Little]

Sorry to everyone on the list for not answering some of these emails, I've been in Germany the past week. :-)

Bob, in the version of GeoMOOSE shipped in MS4W, the zindex=-1 doesn't do anything, layer ordering is performed by the order that it is found in the Mapbook.

Joze,

I'm betting you've got a Mapserver problem if the image is always coming back "white."  That usually means mapserver cannot understand the data or you're trying to view data in the wrong projection.  By default GeoMOOSE uses UTM-15 coordinates.  To change this, you need to just change the first "<view>" entry to the extents that you want to use in your coordinate system.  This is really terribly documented and we plan to change this functionality in future releases.

Joze,

First I would submit similar questions to the GeoMoose list, more info
here:

I'm copying this reply to the list.


It sounds like you need a ZINDEX=-1 parameter set in your MAPBOOK for
the Raster layer.

In the Demo package released with GeoMoose take a look at one of the
MAPBOOKS and do a search for "zindex",  This parameter, tell the
GeoMoose application how to stack the layers in the interface by
default, setting the zindex to -1 will place that layer behind all
others as they are loaded, keep in mind that only one background layer
at a time can be used, but you can have as many set to -1 as you like. 
All other layers that are not set to -1 will be place on top of the
interface.

You can also see the results in this interface by examining the Mapbook
(I would check with FireBug in Firefox if possible):

https://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/gis/gismo_public/html/

All the "Background" layer have a setting of "-1", which you can see
here:

I have not been so Lucky with RASTERS. I have tried to add .Jpg .GIF,
TIFF,..... nothing realy works. maybe its the problem with compsing my
.map file. I really dont have a slightest clue any more. I have been
searching the internet for quite a while an tried lots of things but
nothing really works for me. The closest i got to showing a raster  over
geomoose is that when i put the raster on top  i can fade and unfade
(transparency) it and the shape layers underneath shows up.
