[mapserver-dev] WMS exception for requests width height=1

[Worth Lutz]

If I understand correctly, it is because MapServer is based upon a cell size
of center of pixel to center of pixel.

 

With 1 pixel you have nothing. With 2 pixels you have 1 cell.

Subject: [mapserver-dev] WMS exception for requests width height=1

 

Hello,

currently, I see wms clients (qgis, arcgis 10) doing getmap requests with
height=1. MapServer (6.2) throws an exception: 

 

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Unable to initialize image.

msCalculateScale(): General error message. Invalid image extent, minx=nan,
miny=nan, maxx=nan, maxy=nan.

 

The reason is in msAdjustExtent(), where the cell size is calculated using
MS_CELLSIZE(miny,maxy,height), defined as ((max - min)/(d-1)). Formally, I
don't see any reasons against 1 pixel requests. What are the reasons for
"d-1"?

 

Martin
