Melvin,<br><br>Using a tool such as gdaltindex (see http://www.gdal.org/gdaltindex.html and<br>http://mapserver.org/optimization/tileindex.html#tileindex) you can create a<br>shapefile tile index that will give MapServer the information it needs to use<br>the required rasters for the current map extent. In the shapefile there will be<br>one feature that is the bounding box of each raster file, and an attribute that<br>contains the path to the raster that each feature represents.<br><br>Christy<br><br>MeLv1n wAuRaN wrote:<br>> hi all,<br>> <br>> right now i have 50 .TIF files (a whole map of my region) my question is,<br>is it possible for mapserver to load 50 .TIF files all together as a basemap?<br>because from the tutorial i read, the samples only load 1 raster file..so,<br>i'm wondering if it's possible to load all the 50 TIF files to the same<br>.MAP<br>> <br>> if not, then how do i merge all the TIF files into a single TIF?
