[mapserver-dev] Request for review/comments on RFC 85 (Contour Layer Rendering)

[Smith, Michael ERDC-CRREL-NH]

Brent,

I wonder if you could use postgis rasters (or oracle rasters) with this
the same way tileindexes are done. With 2 layers. See
https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-TILEINDEXes-with-Data
base-RASTERS
