[OSGeo-Discuss] Open source map server

[Bob Basques]

D, 

Styled Layer Description (SLD), and XML standard for stylizing stuff.  Lucky for you, I'm actually working on this at the moment . . .  :c) 

with a SLD, you can start with a WMS call like this: 

https://maps.co.ramsey.mn.us/arcgis/services/ParcelPolyWMS2/MapServer/WMSServer?WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=600&BBOX=44.95,-93.028,44.955,-93.023&CRS=EPSG:4326&FORMAT=image/png24&STYLES=&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&LAYERS=0 

. . . . which should return an image with the default styles configured on the server. 

you can change the styles by changing the call to include a SLD, like so: 

https://maps.co.ramsey.mn.us/arcgis/services/ParcelPolyWMS2/MapServer/WMSServer?WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=600&BBOX=-93.028,44.95,-93.023,44.955&SRS=EPSG:4326&FORMAT=image/png24&STYLES=textSymbolizer&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=0&TRANSPARENT=true&SLD=http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml 

The ( https://maps.co.ramsey.mn.us/arcgis/services/ParcelPolyWMS2/MapServer/WMSServer?WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=600&BBOX=-93.028,44.95,-93.023,44.955&SRS=EPSG:4326&FORMAT=image/png24&STYLES=textSymbolizer&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=0&TRANSPARENT=true&SLD=http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml ) SLD= ( https://maps.co.ramsey.mn.us/arcgis/services/ParcelPolyWMS2/MapServer/WMSServer?WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=600&BBOX=-93.028,44.95,-93.023,44.955&SRS=EPSG:4326&FORMAT=image/png24&STYLES=textSymbolizer&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=0&TRANSPARENT=true&SLD=http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml )http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml parameter ( http://pwultra5.ci.stpaul.mn.us/ol/sld.poly.label.02.xml ) above is used to tell the server how to stylize the output instead of using the default style.  While this is using a static SLD, the real power comes into the equation when the user has a SLD editor at the their disposal to change the STYLE on the fly. 

This email is just to get you asking questions, there's a lot more to it behind the scenes.  The server needs to be able to understand SLD calling, etc.  This service is using MapServer as the WMS server for example.

Forgive my ignorance but a few of you mention SLD editor... What does that mean?

              Merci,
