[Mapserver-users] GRASS raster

[Matt Doggett]

1. Have you confirmed that your mapserver will correctly render *any*
raster or other data not in GRASS?  There's been lots of posts lately
about blank maps.

2. Your GRASS data MUST contain integers of the range 0-255 (8 bit).  I
had to reclassify my GRASS rasters to conform to this.

3. Try adding CLASS statements to your LAYER object in the mapfile.
   Eg.
  
LAYER
    NAME "ReferenceSpecies"
    STATUS ON
    TYPE RASTER
    DATA "/home/server/forages/data/grass/us/PERMANENT/cellhd/fescue"
    TEMPLATE "ttt.html"
    CLASS
	  EXPRESSION ([pixel] < 0)
	  COLOR 255 255 255
    END
    CLASS
	Name "Not Suitable"
      EXPRESSION ([pixel] == 0)
      COLOR 155 105 30 
    END
    CLASS
		  Name "Marginal"
      EXPRESSION ([pixel] == 1)
      COLOR 255 240 55 
    END

  ...etc...
