<DIV>Hi Melvin</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sure - create a TILEINDEX. gdal has a utility called gdaltindex to create it. This creates a Shapefile of the extents of each raster. You specify the name of this Shapefile in your Map file eg.</DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>hi all,<BR><BR>right now i have 50 .TIF files (a whole map of my region) my question is, 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<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>for the information, i'm still a newbie...so i still need alot of advices from the experts.<BR><BR>thanks for your help,<BR>Melvin<BR></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><BR><BR><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">
