<p class=MsoNormal>How do I configure the Mapfile to point to image
pyramids? Does Mapserver automagically recognise pyramids? Do I
simply generate my pyramids of GeoTIFF images using gdal_translate, then point
to a tile index in the Mapfile?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Sorry if this is the Nth time someone has asked this
question, but oddly, it does not explicitly appear anywhere obvious on the web
site, nor in the manual. If so, please point it out (eg: “you can
find the information about using pyramids on page # of the manual, or at this
link ____”). I have tried doing a search for the term “pyramid”
in the manual; nothing returned. Wish there were a chapter subheading
under Data Input-->Raster Data--> “Using Pyramids”.<o:p></o:p></p>
