<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">But perhaps you can give me a clue as to
how to set up a WMS and interface with it (or where some documentation may
exist online)?</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I got the impression the WMS was only
driven from XML files? I’m afraid I still haven’t got my head
around what is a WMS and what is MapServer!</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">In an answer to a previous question of mine, it was hinted
(thank you Even) that I could possibly MapServer to return tiles of
rasterised maps for display using my display application. From my initial
studies, MapServer seems to be aimed at HTML based applications. However,
I want it to return tiles of imagery which I can render using my C++
application. </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Am I right in thinking that this must be done via XML,
scripts and files (e.g. I request a tile from the server (not sure how) and it
returns a rasterised map file which I could open via GDAL).</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Really, I was hoping for a more direct API whereby I can
generate a server request directly from my C++ code and get the raster tile
back similar to the GDALDataSet::RasterIO call?</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Any clues?</span></font></p>
