color=#0000ff size=2>I am having one problem and I'm not sure if I missed
something or if it's an error. I have my data connected to a folder
containing multiple MrSid files. Only the first image alphabetically
displays on the map. Have I missed a step is anyone else seeing this
behavior? Also does the aerial need to be on the local system, I can't
seem to get the image to display if I map to a network
folder.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

but it may not be until Monday morning. I have 15 GB of ecw imagery that
I'm hopeful to use with MapGuide. This would be a huge

<P><FONT size=2>Folks,<BR><BR>I have spent some time in "windows land" and I
seem to have support<BR>for ECW and MrSID working in MapGuide. But I'd
appreciate it if<BR>someone could try these out and verify.<BR><BR>The updates
are at:<BR> <A
href="http://www.gdal.org/dl/mapguide/mg_ecw_110.zip">http://www.gdal.org/dl/mapguide/mg_ecw_110.zip</A><BR>
<A
href="http://www.gdal.org/dl/mapguide/mg_mrsid_110.zip">http://www.gdal.org/dl/mapguide/mg_mrsid_110.zip</A><BR><BR>Either
zip file (or both) can be downloaded, and unzipped<BR>into your C:\Program
Files\MapGuideOpenSource\Server\Bin directory.<BR>They should create a
gdalplugins subdirectory to bin with a plugin. They<BR>will also replace
the FDO\GRFPProvider.dll with a new version that uses<BR>the FDO\gdal13.dll
instead of statically linking an extra copy of GDAL<BR>into the
GRFPProvider.dll. The MrSID verison also includes an updated<BR>gdal13.dll
because the stock one does not export certain geotiff related<BR>interfaces used
by the mrsid driver.<BR><BR>There should be no need to set any extra environment
variables or<BR>anything like that. The plugins should be found magically
because they<BR>are in the gdalplugins subdirectory under the executable
(MgServer.exe).<BR><BR>There are licensing terms associated with the ecw and
mrsid sdks which<BR>I have not taken the time yet to summarize inside the
downloads. If we<BR>prove this works from a technology point of view we
can see how we want<BR>to address the licensing.<BR><BR>BTW, the brief version
of the procedure to add a mrsid or ecw to your<BR>map is:<BR><BR> o Create
a new "data connection" using the OSGeo data provider.<BR> o Set the
DefaultRasterLocation property to the directory containing<BR>
the desired raster files (or perhaps directly to a single file
if<BR> that is all you want).<BR> o Save the Data
connection object.<BR> o Create a layer, and connect.<BR> o Create a
map and connect. You will have to set the map bounds<BR>
manually as the bounds aren't currently read from the datasource.<BR><BR>Best
