The syntax is:<br>
    gdaltindex <i>name_of_tile_index</i>.shp <i>location_of_rasters<br>
<br>
</i>So, for your example, the syntax would look something like:<br>
    gdaltindex sample_index.shp c:\ms4w\data\raster\*.tif<br>

          <pre>Hi
 Melvin,

Using a tool such as gdaltindex (see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gdal.org/gdaltindex.html">http://www.gdal.org/gdaltindex.html</a> and
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mapserver.org/optimization/tileindex.html#tileindex">http://mapserver.org/optimization/tileindex.html#tileindex</a>) you can create a
shapefile tile index that will give MapServer the information it needs to use
the required rasters for the current map extent.  In the shapefile there will be
one feature that is the bounding box of each raster file, and an attribute that
contains the path to the raster that each feature represents.

is it possible for mapserver to load 50 .TIF files all together as a basemap?
because from the tutorial i read, the samples only load 1 raster file..so,
i'm wondering if it's possible to load all the 50 TIF files to the same
.MAP

> if not, then how do i merge all the TIF files into a single TIF?
 because
when i load them all together in ArcMap it forms a whole map.

> for the information, i'm still a newbie...so i still need alot of
advices from the experts.
