Message-ID: MapServer 3.3.010 now needs the Proj.4 distribution available from http://www.remotesensing.org/proj. This is a good thing. The original version is no longer actively maintained, the author has retired. Frank Warmerdam is now actively maintaining Proj and has recently made changes for us related to NT compilation, so that should be easier than ever. Any way grab his new version before compiling 3.3.010.

Binaries for PNG output is available at http://128.101.73.80/projects/mapserver/ms33png.zip. The PNG version requires zlib.dll which needs to be located somewhere in the system path. The safest place to put it is in \winnt\system32 directory. If anybody is interested in qualitative performance comparisons between the two outputs, check http://128.101.73.80/projects/ms_demo (for GIF output) and http://128.101.73.80/projects2/ms_demo (for PNG output). I don't seem to notice much difference. For huge datasets, try http://128.101.73.80/projects/minnesota and http://128.101.73.80/projects2/minnesota. For numbers, PNG output (10-15K output sizes) with vector data is about 2-4K more than the GIF output (14-18K output sizes). With raster data, GIF output (192K) is about 30K more than PNG output (162K). I don't really have time to set up a more formal comparison but perhaps someone who downloads the binaries can do it. It'll be interesting to see how NT compares with UNIX as well.

If it's only the basic mapserver components you're trying to compile--gd-1.2 and gdft--then you shouldn't have to change much. Maybe just comment the TIFF stuff and check the paths. If you're trying to compile with TIFF and JPEG support, it's still fairly easy. Just edit the configure file and replace "/bin/sh" with "sh". Do the same thing with config.sub and Makefile.in. You can then just type "./configure". After the configuration is finished just run make. Of course, now you'll want the include paths and libpaths added in your mapserv makefile. That's the extent of my knowledge about Cygwin stuff. The last time I tried Cygwin was with the 3.3.008 distribution. I don't know if anything has changed since. Someone could probably give you a better set of instructions.

The reason is in how shape closure is handled. For polygon shapes the difference between type line and polyline is basically a matter of annotation. Line types are labeled on the line whereas polylines are labeled like polygons in the center of the polygon.

It would be nice to see more of these applications added to the gallery. So, if you have one you'd like to share please send us (me) the URL along with a brief description of the application. You might want to share the hardware and web server specs as well. The user utilities page has also been updated. There are only three utilities there at the moment--Ross Searle's and Steve Lime's contributions--along with two conversion tools.

Message-ID: <38FE28E1.6040507@usgs.gov> For our new Clearinghouse Search gateway (to help people locate geospatial data in approx 200 servers!) we would like to link in the map server to help the user locate their area of interest and also to then show the results that were found "on the map". So the problem at hand is: I have a basemap (lat-long coords) and I have a number of returned rectangle values in N W S E format, one rectangle per data set being flagged. I would like to first define the bounds of the map to be drawn just a bit larger than the sum total extents of the rectangles, then to draw on that basemap several rectangles (each rectangle a different color) one for each data set represented. In effect, if I want to visualize where the current hit list of ten datasets lies, I would have an orientation map with n colored rectangles on it. I sense that mapscript would allow one to do this but don't know where to start. Can someone provide sample code for me to start with? Doug.

From vrraju at lists.gis.umn.edu Thu Apr 20 07:46:02 2000 From: vrraju at lists.gis.umn.edu (Vatsavai Ranga Raju) Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 09:46:02 -0500 (CDT) Subject: mysql Message-ID: <200004201446.JAA27304@lists.gis.umn.edu> We are enhancing mapserver, especially adding geospatial analysis capabilities. One of the ongoing efforts is to add a link between mapserver and RDBMS/SQL, so that users can access mysql tables directly from mapserver. What I am not sure about your posting is that storing extended data types in mysql (like points, lines and polygons, but images - yes)?. My experience shows that object oriented databases (like Jasmine ODBMS), or object relational databases (Oracle 8i, PREDATOR etc) are more suitable to store geographic entities, than systems like mysql. Second problem is to access (speedily) these data types you need some or other extensions (like R+ tree) of indexing structures supported in these databases. Anyway we will let you know once our interface to mysql is complete.

You may wish to look into the OpenGIS Simple Features Access SQL specification that is supported by several vendors. This specifies only the query and result syntax as formalizations in SQL letting the backend database do the support work. By supporting a standard request interface, multiple databases (including SDE and Oracle 8i Spatial) would be supported. Don't let the "simple" aspect dissuade you -- it supports the general range of geometries present in a shapefile. A similar specification is also emerging for raster data (called, ironically, Coverages). Something to consider in your database storage interfaces.

I would like to skip the shape file format and go straight to pulling the data from the mysql db. any suggestions are welcome. i will publish some articles regarding this project after i've accomplished it. p.s. i'm in Minneapolis MN. I've seen from some of your addresses and tel# that you are also in MN. if you want to have coffee and talk about GIS or what ever, that would be fun. >Regards, > >Chris > > >Chris Fuhrman wrote: > > > > On Wed, 19 Apr 2000, mocha wrote: > > > > > anyone working on interfacing mapserver to an sql db (mysql?). i > think this > > > would speed it up a little. > > > > > > > Can't say I've gotten mapserver to talk to a SQL server, but i am using > > PostgreSQL/Perl/MapScript to develop a Geocoding/Address-matching type > > application.

I am using a query header, footer, and template to return the results to the browser inside a HTML table. Here is the part of the HTML files with the JavaScript program. I am using the program within the body of my HTML file. The problem is nothing happens. The code is there when I view the page source in Netscape. One thing I did notice is mapserver adds this between the header and template files. Blank page Is this whats messing up the javascript? header file:

An official announcement from them is in the works, but in the meantime I just wanted to let you know that the spec is available as a 550kB PDF document at The Web Map Server Interface, by the way, is a core specification adopted by the Digital Earth Reference Model. WM version 1.0 standardizes three things: (1) how to advertise a collection of georeferenced data, including bounding boxes, coordinate systems, etc; (2) how to request a specific georeferenced map of a data layer; and, optionally, (3) how to query the server for information about a feature shown in a map layer. Phase 2 of the Web Mapping Testbed will address issues not yet covered by the spec; a formal RFQ/RFP will be issued soon by OGC. --Jeff DLB Dr Jeff de La Beaujardiere * +1 301-286-1569 NASA Goddard/CESDIS 930.5 * Digital Earth program delabeau at iniki.gsfc.nasa.gov * http://iniki.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Digital Earth Reference Model committee discussion list. * To broadcast a message to the group, email derm at digitalEarth.gsfc.nasa.gov with your contribution. * To (un)subscribe, email derm-request at digitalEarth.gsfc.nasa.gov with the phrase '(un)subscribe derm' as the message body. * To contact the list maintainer, email derm-owner at digitalEarth.gsfc.nasa.gov -- Douglas D.

You must have a reference to a blank template someplace, perhaps as a query template for a particular type of result?
