Frustration setting in.. Plotting a single point...

[Ed McNierney]

Jeff -

Sorry if I'm tuning in late, but I'm not exactly sure what the symptom
you're seeing is.

However, your EXTENT:

EXTENT -2526068.80 3808293.58 2601312.92 930341.78

Is wrong, as it needs to be minX, minY, maxX, maxY and your minY is
larger than your maxY.

There's nothing especially huge about those extents, and I don't see why
there should be a problem with them, if you put them in the right order.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Frustration setting in.. Plotting a
single point...

I'm sure this is something very simple, and I have gone through the
archives, and have copied numerous examples, the only thing I think can
be
causing a problem is the huge extents of my shape file, and the point
not
being converted correctly?  There are two shapefiles for the US, and
state
borders..

Anyway, here is my php file (which should look almost identical to the
many
examples given) and my map file, any pointers would be greatly
appreciated.
 I have tried it with and without the setProjection also..

<?php

//Load the dynamic library.
dl('php_mapscript.so');

// create our map object
$map_file = "basic.map";
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_file);

// create a temp layer to hold our points
$point_layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
$point_layer->set("name", "markers");
$point_layer->set("type", MS_LAYER_POINT);
$point_layer->set("status", MS_DEFAULT);
$point_layer->setProjection("proj=latlong",MS_TRUE);

// create a class and style for this layer
$point_class = ms_newClassObj($point_layer);
$point_style = ms_newStyleObj($point_class);
$point_symbol = $map->getSymbolByName("point");
$point_style->set("symbol", $point_symbol);
$point_style->set("size", 20);

// draw our image without the points
$image = $map->draw();

// initialize our point and add it to the map
$point = ms_newPointObj();
$longitude="-149.0300";
$latitude="61.5600";
$point->setXY($longitude, $latitude);
$point->draw($map, $point_layer, $image, 0, "");

// get the location for our new image
$tmp_png_file = $image->saveWebImage (MS_PNG, 0, 0, 0);
exec ("mv ".$tmp_png_file." "."/home/cotterj/test.png");
?>

Once again any help or things to try would be appreciated!  I think I
have
tried ever incarnation in the archives!
