[mapguide-users] Linux and raster support?

[Andy Morsell]

Thanks Frank,
I was able to get JPG working.  Studio didn't know where it's extents were,
so I had to create a map with the necessary extents.  I tried to work a bit
with ECW and MrSID but didn't have much luck, so I'll keep digging at a
later date on that.  I see that you have many samples in the source, so I'll
try working with that.  Do you by any chance have any test layers in a
mapguide repository?  If so, it would be handy if you could export the
package in MG Admin and then others could import it and look at data and
layer configurations.

Andy,

For my first round of MapGuide testing I hand authored the datasource xml
stuff, so I'm not sure if it is supported from mapguide studio or not.

At the FDO level my test utility was setting the DefaultRasterFileLocation
property on the connection with either the directory with a bunch of raster
files or pointing directly to a single raster file.

When used this way the schema is call "default" and the feature class is
called "default".   As I understanding it default:default is essentially
a table of the raster files.

It looks like the xml fragment for this looks something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FeatureSource xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd">
   <Provider>OSGeo.Gdal.3.2</Provider>
   <Parameter><Name>DefaultRasterFileLocation</Name>
     <Value>C:/warmerda/mgtest/rasters</Value>
   </Parameter>
</FeatureSource>

So I *think* you might be ok if you are seeing default:default.

Best regards,
