[mapserver-users] extend command unit

[Chan B. Huynh]

Stephen,
Thanks, but what do you mean by "output projection system".  Do you mean the
projection system of the shapefiles?  I saw in the codes you use UTM which
to be compatible with PROJ.4.

Well, what I want to do is to extend the minnesota dem that you have to the
map of the world like "Digital Map of The World - Australia" that you have
in the gallary link.  Is it possible that I can get the source code for that
map?  Who do I need to talk to?

I try to build the digital map of the world myself as well by getting the
shapefiles from www.bluemountaingeo.com as recommended by Mark...something.
Everything runs well except the .gif map create in the tmp dir is nothing in
there.  How can I specify the EXTENT xmin,xmax, ymin, ymax for this world
map?  I used x,y value that you use for your minnesota demo map and that's
what i get.  What did I do wrong?

It's whatever the UNITS parameters is set to in the mapfile and should match
the output projection system. The CGI version when compiled with proj.4 will
do
some automatic recognition of lat/lon coordinates and do the projection for
you, but otherwise extents are always taken as mentioned above.

Hi there,
What is the unit of the 5-digit minx,maxx,miny,maxy for EXTENT command in
the Map Object?
I thought that should be latitude and longitude???

Thanks for your help.
