<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">What about restructuring the three top level mapfiles, just a little bit, so that they can be used as INCLUDES in the NA mapfile. Just separate out the laver info for each mapfile

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">You would still be able to maintain the three regions as separate MapFILEs by using the same INCLUDE (one for each region) mapfiles and then have one larger mapfile that included

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I have 3 regional mapfiles for US, Canada and Mexico and I want to <br>
create a single North America map. Since the data comes from separate <br>
vendors and they refresh on different cycles, I'm trying to figure out <br>
the best way to structure this in a mapfile. I also need to maintain <br>
each region as a separate mapfile. (I'm ignoring issues like data <br>
alignment over borders.)<br>
<br>
The reginal mapfile data is structure like:<br>
<br>
.../us/data/<shapefiles><br>
.../us/us.map<br>
.../mx/data/<shapefiles><br>
.../mx/mx.map<br>
.../ca/data/<shapefiles><br>
.../ca/ca.map<br>
<br>
The shapepath for each mapfile is set to the local data directory. What <br>
I would like to avoid is having to change all the paths in the mapfiles <br>
to accomodate a change like:<br>
<br>
.../na/us/data/<br>
.../na/mx/data/<br>
.../na/ca/data/<br>
.../na/na.map<br>
<br>
It would be cool if I can change the shapepath in the middle of the <br>
mapfile so layers beyond the change would use the new shapepath, but I <br>
suspect that will not work.<br>
<br>
So it looks like my options are:<br>
<br>
1. rewrite all the mapfile data pathes as I combine them into one new <br>
mapfile and maintain two copies, regional and na versions.<br>
<br>
2. maybe create a new mapfile that loads each of the regions as a WMS <br>
client and overlays the adjacent regions. This will get served via <br>
mapcache so that might add some options for tile assembly.<br>
<br>
3. other ideas????<br>
<br>
This can be done with postgis!!!<br>
create a database with all layers you have, then create views joining the similar layers, and in your map<br>
<br>
LAYER<br>
NAME "states"<br>
STATUS ON<br>
DATA "the_geom from (select * from view_from_postgis) as foo using unique gid using srid=4326"<br>
TYPE POLYGON<br>
CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS<br>
CONNECTION "user=xyz password=***** dbname=postgis_database_name host=127.0.0.1 port=5432"<br>
UNITS METERS<br>
SIZEUNITS PIXELS<br>
LABELITEM "name"<br>
LABELMINSCALE 750000<br>
TRANSFORM TRUE<br>
TEMPLATE void<br>
METADATA<br>
"LAYER_ENCODING" "UTF-8"<br>
END<br>
projection<br>
"init=epsg:32614"<br>
end<br>
CLASS<br>
NAME "estados"<br>
LABEL<br>
TYPE TRUETYPE<br>
FONT "trebuchet"<br>
SIZE 12<br>
POSITION cc<br>
FORCE true<br>
OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255<br>
COLOR 0 0 255<br>
ANTIALIAS TRUE<br>
END<br>
STYLE<br>
OUTLINECOLOR 130 131 140<br>
BACKGROUNDCOLOR 0 0 0<br>
ANTIALIAS TRUE<br>
END<br>
END<br>
END<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
-Steve<br>
