[mapguide-users] MapGuide 1.0.2 with Autodesk Raster FDO?

[Jason Birch]

Cool.  I haven't used the Autodesk raster provider yet.  Using it via
Studio required me to create a package and upload the images to the
MapGuide server, which seemed like a pain in the...

I'll have to try it your way, perhaps there is some way to shortcut the
creation in Studio and then alter the resource XML via the mapagent unit
test scripts.

Does GDAL support image catalogs of some format?  I can't imagine that
it's efficient to just point to a folder full of images without some
kind of aoi index.

Jason,

The GDAL provider should work similarly to the Autodesk raster provider.
I manually inserted the following XML fragment for the datasource to
access a raster file already on the server.

<?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>

The DefaultRasterFileLocation can also be a directory to access a
directory full of files.  There is also a way to use a config file.
but I haven't actually done that from MapGuide, just in standalone FDO
tests.   So I'm not exactly clear on how that works.

Best regards,
