Thanks a lot folks! Using this program is far better than looking at OpenJUMP. I actually used the command below :)<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ogrinfo -al tilingIndex.shp
| vim -</span><br></div><br>But strangely it did not show the extent of all tiles (it in fact returned points too similar to those I got with OpenJUMP). <br><br>Just to experiment I tried changing the UNITS element from DD (decimal degree) to METERS and to my surprise the map was fully displayed, in full extent but it was rendered very small.
<br>After that I tried using the Zoom in commands of the web interface of the Demo application but MapServer returned the image in the same size every time. I can assume this lack of zoom is due to the wrong unit I've tried, and I don't expect the right behavior with wrong configuration of the map, however this got me the picture in full extent.
<br><br>Any hints?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/16/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Curtis W.

<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Or you can use the -so option instead of -al<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">

MAPSERVER-USERS@LISTS.UMN.EDU</a><br>Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 7:30:27 AM<br>Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Extent of several (500+) TIFF images<br><br>I'm using a layer of more than 500 tiff files containing DEM information of a great area. I have created a tile index of all these maps using the
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">gdaltindex </span>program to use as a layer in my mapfile. It generated a .shp file along with a .dbf as expected.
<br><br>I'm having problems to find the proper EXTENT to my map file that will for the moment only use the layer described above. Is there any easy way to get full extent of these images or shapefile? The utility program gdalinfo gives me proper information to build the extent of a single raster file, but I'm not aware of a tool that gives this kind of information of a shape file.
<br><br>I've tried to use OpenJUMP [<a rel="nofollow" href="http://openjump.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://openjump.org</a>] to hover the mouse over the min and max points of the shapefile but I had no success using the coordinates it gave me.
<br><br>Any suggestions?
