MapServer which shapefiles might possibly be needed when drawing the current map
request; the shptree index is used to quickly locate objects inside a given
shapefile. You can use both, either, or neither, and you can update them
in any order. Remember that if you update a shapefile so that it covers a
different area, you'll need to update the tileindex in order to accurately use
that modified shapefile.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">When using a combination of the
shptree and tileindex utilities, does it matter which order they are ran?
I have tile-indexed my data first, and then ran shptree on the individual shape
files and the tileindex files. It occurred to me that the tileindex files
point to the .shp files, and wondered if this is optimized. (I read
somewhere that you should not specify file extensions in .map files when using
quad indexes, I’m wondering if this is true also in the tileindex files.)
Do I need to tileindex the shape files after quad-indexing them, and then
quad-index the tileindex files, or am I obsessing over
nothing?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
