[MapServer-dev] Does mapserver support GIF format for WMS / WMTS services?

[Philippe Ghesquiere]

Hi all,
I am a little bit confused with GIF support for WMS/WMTS services.
In several parts of the documentation, it is mentioned that GIF support is
discarded with the end of the "GD library" support.

I noticed the compilation option in CMakelists.txt :
option(WITH_GIF "Enable GIF support (for PIXMAP loading)" ON)
I do not understand the "for PIXMAP loading" comment.

Anyway, our mapserver does not server WMS/WMTS tiles in GIF format.

So here are my few questions :

   - is GIF support enabled by default for WMS/WMTS services ?
   - do I need to add the option : -DWITH_GIF=ON for cmake configuration ?
   - do I need to add a specific mapserver configuration, like :
   OUTPUTFORMAT
      NAME "GIF"
      DRIVER GDAL/GIF
      MIMETYPE "image/GIF"
      IMAGEMODE RGB
      EXTENSION "gif"
   END

Thanks for your help and advices
Philippe
