Subject: question about turning layers ON
Message-ID: <3A27B94A.3BA91C11@noaa.gov>

I'm trying to build a simple mapserv app, and I'm confused about how the 

[layername_select] template is supposed to work.

What parameter in the map file controls whether a layer is selected or
not when the
map initially comes up?  I'd thought it was the "STATUS" keyword, but
the demo application has
almost all of the layers' STATUS set to "ON", yet only lakes and streams
come up initially.

What's the deal?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Hearne

Could anyone please post a simple example of using a feature object
within a map file?
The map I'm returning is in decimal degrees. I want to put a star an a
specific LAT/LON on the map.
TIA,

Anyone able to get street labels to align with the street lines
themselves? I saw some of (my) old postings on this but can't seem to
make it work... (a year later!)

I still can't get it to work and I've been trying to install freetype
(trutype font support) for about three weeks now.

Sorry ... that probably doesn't help

Um, yes it can be done pretty easily. You need freetype installed and then need to use the "ANGLE AUTO" parameter in your label object. The test suite site (i.e. arachnid.dnr.state.mn.us/ms_test) has several auto rotation examples.

Note that the quality of the labeling is heavily dependent on the data. Garbage in, garbage out. Extra nodes can drastically affect placement. Interfaces I've seen using TIGER and GDT data look pretty darn good at the street level.

Subject: query: wrong results
Message-ID: <3A29127B.D4A6652B@urbanix.de>

I have still teh same problem:

For testing purposes I've managed to get a map with London Boroughs
(area) and tube stations (points) displayed, on mapserver 3.3.011 for Linux.

But when I do a query on objects, either the borough layer or the tube layer,
I sometimes get wrong results. Tolerance for points is 5 and for area is 1.
Within one borough different results are possible, a right one and wrong
ones which is the neigbouring borough (any direction).

I tested various tolerances, and tested different coordinates
(geographic and rectangular)

Any idea why this happens?
How is the reference done between the dbf-file and the map-objects? 

Thanks 
Franziska

Here is my map file, it's more or less the file from the ms_demo,
slightly adapted

Subject: question about turning layers ON
Message-ID: <200012041513.JAA17254@philbert.dnr.state.mn.us>

If a layer's STATUS is set to "DEFAULT" then the layer will always be drawn.  If 
STATUS is set to "ON" then the layer will be drawn if it is (one of) the 
value(s) specified in the "layer" cgi variable.

In the demo, all layers in the demo.map file are STATUS ON excepting for the 
county boundaries layer, which is STATUS DEFAULT.  The layers to be initially 
displayed are set via hidden variables in the cgi form in the demo_init.html 
file.  [layername_select] is then used in the demo.html layer select list as a 
means of making layer selections persistent as the user browses the map.  When a 
layer is included in the "layer" cgi variable, the mapserver program replaces 
[layername_select] with the keyword "selected".  If a layer is not included in 
the "layer" cgi variable, then [layername_select] is replaced with an empty 
string.

Hope this helps,

--Ken Boss

The expressions are poorly formated but here goes:

"^[5-7]" - matches data that starts with 5,6 or 7
 "12|78" - matches data that contains a 12 or 78
"14" - matches data that contains a 14
 "^6$" - matches 6 exactly
"150 250 100" - matches data that contains "150 250 100"

These should be written /expression/ and so on if you want to do regex.

I am using the PHP extension with php4.0.3 with the 11/1 nightly build of
3.3.0.12.

I am trying to write a simple identify tool which opens to a new window.

The problem is that browser complains with an empty page error when I try to
query the layer.
I don't even get "Hello World" dumps.

Has anyone heard from DMSolutions about their big contract for a new version
of the php module with extended functionality?

TIA,

awaxman at speakeasy.org

Here is the php code (theme,mapx and mapy are passed in as args)
<?
  // Only Load the extension if needed.
  if (!extension_loaded("php_mapscript.so"))
     dl("php_mapscript.so");

  $map = ms_newMapObj("gaar.map");

  $aLayer = $map->getLayer($theme);

  print("<html><head><title>Identify Results for ");
  print($aLayer->description);
  print("</title></head><body>\n");

  print("Hello World<br>");

  $pt = ms_newPointObj();
  $pt->setXY($mapx,$mapy);

  // Huge Tolerance to ensure something is hit.
  $qrset = $aLayer->queryUsingPoint($pt, MS_MULTIPLE, 300);

  if ($qrset==0)
    print("No Results Found<br>");
  else
    print("Got Results<br>");

  $qrset->free();

  print("Hello World");
  print("</body></html>");

Nothing is really preventing it from running on windows, except I haven't
built it there or made a Makefile.  Tcl/Tk is notoriously portable between
Unix, Windows, & Mac.  I don't have a good Windows build environment, but
I see many folks are building Tcl/Tk extensions by using cross-compilation
tools on Linux.  The 'send' commands in the ms*tcl program would also need
to be changed to use the builtin 'dde'.

Forgive me if I ask the obvious, however since I am not a cartographer nor a
programmer, here goes. Having read through the documentation it appears that
is should be possible to have a base map (geotiff) displayed together with
georeferenced data (longitude latitude coords). Could i then assume that a
mouse click or whatever on that point would or could display the textual
data associated with that point. My, I'm not even sure I'm phrasing the
question correctly?

Subject: CVS ok now, 3.4 news
Message-ID: <sa2d6100.085@smtp.dnr.state.mn.us>

I hammered out most of the bugs in TTF lines so the CVS
should be cool. This marks the change to version 3.4 in
development terms. 3.3.012 will never see an official
release. There are enough new features to warrant the
3.4 tag. 3.4 will not be released formally until the 
generic query module is ready to allow simultaneous
access to shapefile, SDE and OGR datasets (as well as
tiled shapefiles).

That said, the current CVS code is very stable and the
generic query stuff should be a seemless upgrade (i.e.
you won't notice). If you've had problems with 3.3.011 
then you might want to try a recent nightly build.

The TTF line feature allows you to plaee symbols at 
different intervals alogn a line (rotated of course).
This allows for nice railroad symbols, directional 
arrows and meteorological (sp?) symbols. There will
shortly be an ARROW type that will allow you to turn 
lines into, you guessed it, arrows. Gone are STYLED 
lines with goofy offset, dash patterns that never 
really worked right anyway. In its place are more 
flexible dashing options to do .. _ . _ .. type
patterns. Overlay symbols allow you to create complex
road symbols with only a single pass through the data.
I'm working on a couple of TTF fonts for arrows and 
other typical uses of fonted lines.

The CVS also contains a TCL/TK mapscript configuration
section (thanks Tom). This serves as the base for the
recently announced MapServer workbench. It looks very
nice and I suggest folks take a look at it.

Would something like the following be possible with mapserv?

I would like to have a different html frame target based on the
mapserv mode.  One target, called "main" will be used for
results of a query mode, and another target, called "right"
will be used for browse mode.

Is the target determined in the client/browser before mapserv runs?

Thanks,

Steve:

Thanks for the quick reply.Not sure it's been mentioned previously, however
with regards to the demonstration installation instructions, the following
change was also necessary, to enable the cached query code to work on NT.

<td><img border="2"
src="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=[map]&queryfile=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tmp\DEMO[id
].qy[get_layers]&mode=map&size=200+200"></td></tr>

Not sure that the .exe extension is required after mapserv, but i put it
there anyway to follow prior convention. Had to modify the queryfile path as
well as indicated above. This method works on this system.

If I'm understanding your question right, you just need a bit of JavaScript code 
to get the effect you want.  When the form is submitted (onSubmit), call the 
code and have it do something like:

if (document.mapserv.mode.value == 'query') {
  document.mapserv.target = frame.for.query.results;
} else {
  document.mapserv.target = frame.for.map.browsing;
}

Ladies and gentlemen,

Our company is about to install MapServer for a german internet job searching
engine. But there are several questions left before the installation is to be
made. One of them is the question about the performance of MapServer.

Of course I know that numbers such as 'hits handled per second' highly depend on
the hardware used as well as the task that is to be fulfilled by the system. I
would appreciate any numbers that the users on this mailing list are able to
share with me.


Besides: your server is great ;-)

Well, the only number I can give is how fast a map and web page can be
supplied by my 433MHz Alpha system. Running a Perl CGI that creates
the web page (a set of three frames) and using MapScript, a page can
be delivered showing roads and freeways with labels; colored city
areas and labels; street addresses; utility lines; key locations (i.e.
The San Diego Zoo); dynamically plotted data extracted from a database
using Perl; rivers, lakes, streams, and other bodies of water with
labels; and schools in under a minute. YMMV depending upon available
Internet connection bandwidth, number of requests, OS type (I run Red
Hat Linux 6.0 with Apache 1.3.12), etc., but I think that's pretty
good considering how much work the machine has to do outside of just
rendering the map.

Almost forgot, my Alpha only has 64MB of SDRAM and no external cache.

Hi,
I'm trying use mapscript exported functions in Tcl to do what mapserv cgi
does - ie. load a mapfile and generate a GIF, given the mapsize, image
extent, zoom, imagexy.

I constructed a mapObj with a mapfile with this line:

mapObj map1 $file

$file is the mapfile name without the .map extension. (with .map extension,
I got segmentation fault in tclsh)

I don't understand why I keep getting NULL back from it...and what ever I do
after will (of course) fails.


Here's the rest of my tcl script:

package require Mapscript
package require msTclObjs

set file $argv

mapObj map1 $file

puts "\tmapfile: $file"

set rectPtr [map1 cget -extent]
puts "got rectPtr"
puts "\textent: [rectObj_miny_get $rectPtr]"


Thanks,
Yeewen

The Tcl Mapscript interface should live in the 'mapscript' namespace:

  mapscript::mapObj map1 $file


> $file is the mapfile name without the .map extension. (with .map extension,
> I got segmentation fault in tclsh)


The file name should include .map

You can examine the 'ms_error' object to get the failure codes:

puts [mapscript::ms_error cget -code]
puts [mapscript::ms_error cget -routine]
puts [mapscript::ms_error cget -message]

The message is rather terse, but you should be able to figure out what
the mapfile parse is complaining about.

Ummm. MapServer has not be updated to work with FreeType 2 yet. You
need version 1.2 or higher. FreeType 2 offers no backwords compatability
with the version 1 API and since the version 2 full release hasn't happened 
(at least last time I checked) I haven't sat down and done the port.

Kieran,

I'm not sure I understand...

FreeType is a set of functions you would link into an application (like
MapServer) to access the low level geometry of a TrueType font.  If you need
the compiled library I can send it to you...

Do you want to:

o Use TT Fonts in MapServer?
    - include in the top of your map file:

        FONTSET "fonts/fonts.list"

    and in the map file's label definitions:

        TYPE TRUETYPE
        FONT arial


o Look at TT fonts?
    - on NT use Start->Programs->Accessories->Character Map

o Or Create/edit TT fonts?
    - you need a 3rd party application

Let me know if you need help...

libttf.so is the library name of FreeType 1.x.

FreeType 2's library name is libfreetype.

Hi Kieran, 

There is a win32 port of the GCC compiler (and most of the 
other GNU Utilities) from cygwin: http://cygwin.com/

wrt to Freetype: I haven't actually tried this but I did see 
web page yesterday which talked about it:

If I use namespace, I get these errors:

invalid command name "mapscript::mapObj"
    while executing
"mapscript::mapObj map1 $file"
    (file "test.tcl" line 26)

So, I don't use mapscript namespace in my tcl.

Thanks to Tom for the ms_error suggestion, I found out what my problem was.
It's in newsym.sym file - some invalid gif images reference. I don't really
need them, so I removed them. At the end, I was able to load a mapfile, draw
it, and save the image (.gif) created.

Now, I have more questions :-)

Is there a way to generate GIF images based on the zoom value,
mapsize...like how mapserv cgi does it - given a mapfile, zoom value,
mapsize, imgext, imgxy, creates a gif for the specified area. So, can I do
that through mapscript? Right now, load, draw and save image will save the
entire map.

Thanks,
Yeewen

The Tcl Mapscript interface should live in the 'mapscript' namespace:

  mapscript::mapObj map1 $file

The file name should include .map

You can examine the 'ms_error' object to get the failure codes:

puts [mapscript::ms_error cget -code]
puts [mapscript::ms_error cget -routine]
puts [mapscript::ms_error cget -message]

The message is rather terse, but you should be able to figure out what
the mapfile parse is complaining about.

Try the CVS sources (e.g., nightly download).  The configure/make should build
the interface to use mapscript:: namespace.

The best source for doing this is in the msexplorer.tcl file.  Basically, you
modify the mapObj's data members before drawing for your own size, extents, etc.

Speaking of my MapServer Workbench, I hope to have another release by this
weekend.  I've got a simple 'App Wizard' that walks you through building
a MapServer application from scratch (assuming you have data files somewhere,
and know some about MapServer.)  It will build a mapfile and 'ms_demo' type
html files, an initial reference map image, and a simple install sh script.
It's a rough start, but does build a working mapfile on the first try.  The
idea is that you can then use msedit and msexplorer to fine tune your map.

Subject: labels overlapping points
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.21.0012072127350.25708-100000@homer>


Hi,

I'm using a map of the world with several mutually exclusive layer sets at
different zoom levels that represent different levels of detail. Anyway,
when zooming in, I increase the size of POINT symbols (circles) that
represent cities so that at the maximum zoom, city features are quite
large (20-30 pixels). At the highest levels of zoom there is also the most
amount of clutter on the screen - lots of labelled feature points. What
happens is that labels are not rendered if they interfere with the city
points, even if I FORCE them.

Is this the implemented behavior wrt symbols or am I doing something
wrong? 

If it's implemented this way, then one workaround might be to create a
polygon shapefile for cities rather than use symbols. Would this work?

Thanks,

Keith.

This is the way it's supposed to work. The theory is that with point data
it the points that are important and labels should not obscure them. The
points themselves can overlap. The other reason for this behavior that
if labels can overlap the points then it's damn near impossible to associate
a point with a label (visually that is). Normally with things like this I use
ANNOTATION layers so that the marker and label are given equal weight.
By sorting on population or something (most important features at the
tail end of the shapefile) you can ensure that London shows up before
Lower Slaughter.

Hi everybody,

I am kind of trying to rebuild mapserver basics functionality
via php-mapscript. Right now I have a problem with

shapeObj ShapefileObj::getShape(int i)
rectObj ShapefileObj::getExtent(int i)

the input with the integer doesn't work, I always get the
same shapeObj. The input should be the ID of one item of
the shape file (first column of dbf), but I only
receive the first entry (ID 0) of the shapefile, no matter
which integer I use.
 I am looking for a small image of one queried item of
the shapefile as the basic mapserver does.
I would appreciate any help with that

Sven

(I have mandrake linux 7.1 mapserver 3.3.011, php 3.x)

I've got a newer release of my MapServer Workbench tools.  You can
grab the 0.2 distribution at:
	http://www.nyx.net/~tpoindex/

New for this release is a new tool, msappwiz.tcl, plus several changes
from the original tools (that I mailed out to folks.)  You will need
the Mapscript/Tcl interface, which is now included in the CVS sources,
and available via the 'nightly' tarball.   One tool, msedit.tcl, can
run mostly without Mapscript/Tcl, and does run in Windows.
No, I don't yet have a Windows port of Mapscript/Tcl, but it's on my
list to build one (probably will use Mingw cross-compiler from Linux.)

Be sure to read both the README.1st and README files.  Also note that I
consider this software to be of beta quality, so make backups of any
mapfiles you use with the tool suite.

As usual, bug reports are welcome, bug reports with fixes even more so.

I've also taken down the screen shot I had before, web space at my site is
limited.

On a unrelated note, anybody know if the PHP MapScript module can

Nyon,

Yes, you should be able to set up mapserver to run via a third party web hosting
service. I have managed to do this using using two different web hosting
services. However, you may have to make modifications to the install scripts,
because you probably won't have access to some of the files (depending on what
environment you are installing into) in their "normal" locations.

You will need full cgi-bin access etc. If you are looking for a provider, and
have any doubts, try to find one with a 30 day "money-back" trial period. That
way, you can always opt out if you find you can't get what you need from them
(in terms of privileges and support).

The only thing I did _not_ manage to do was to successfully set up php mapscript
(so I have been learning perl!). The php mapscript installation requires the php
source, which was no longer available on the host provider's webservers.
Although in theory it should have been possible to get the php source and
complete the installation of php mapscript, I still had problems going down this
route. Perhaps you will have more luck.

Mark, you wrote that you needed to change some things in the install
scripts, but then compiled MapServer
on the machine of your web hosting service, am i right? Actually, that
is our problem. Most of the providers we have contacted so far won't
allow us to compile anything on their machines. Could we compile
MapServer statically linked and then just transfer the binary to the
cgi-bin of our provider? Unfortunately, i am not a
compile-options-expert, perhaps someone could give me some hints how to
do it. TIA.

CVS. It compiles fine, as well as MapScript with the latest PHP version. But
when I am trying to load a recently used .map file with the following
definitions:

SHADESET "symbols/shades.sym"
MARKERSET "symbols/marker.sym"
SYMBOLSET "symbols/line.sym"

I got the following error message:
msLoadMap(): Unknown identifier. (SHADESET):(7) 

Same goes for a MapScript via PHP:

Warning: MapServer Error in msLoadMap(): (SHADESET):(7) in
<PATH DELETED BY ME>mapscript.phtml on line 5

Did I miss a reconstruction of the file format? I can't find any hint on the
home page.

Yours,

I'm no "compile-options-expert" either so this is possibly a case of the blind
leading the blind. I was about to reply that a statically linked executable
probably would not work. However, you should check out the URL below

http://www.freegis.org/FreeGIS_CD/requirements.en.html

which has some information on compiled GIS software. They offer a compiled
version of mapserver on their CD, but you need to check your hardware and OS for
compatibility. You may also need the privileges/knowledge to alter environment
variables and symbolic links. Keep in mind that the CD was not designed
specifically for installing packages in commercial web hosting environments, so
perhaps there will be some hidden pitfalls.

Good luck.

Hi,

we are currently also trying to use a third party web hosting service to
run MapServer.

Mark, you wrote that you needed to change some things in the install
scripts, but then compiled MapServer
on the machine of your web hosting service, am i right? Actually, that
is our problem. Most of the providers we have contacted so far won't
allow us to compile anything on their machines. Could we compile
MapServer statically linked and then just transfer the binary to the
cgi-bin of our provider? Unfortunately, i am not a
compile-options-expert, perhaps someone could give me some hints how to
do it. TIA.

Cheers, Michael

Thorsten,

Yes I think you must have missed it. But since the new format is not yet part of
the official release, I do not think you should find a reference on the
mapserver home page just yet.

 I believe you can find the new structure documented at:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/html/0010/msg00027.html


Have fun.

Maybe the formatting of my original response was a little misleading.

In your html template file, your browsable/queryable map is embedded in a form.  
For example, the mapserver demo uses:

<form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/ms_3.3">

to begin the form definition.  You want to expand this to something like:

<form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/ms_3.3" name="mapserv" onSubmit="toFrame()">

Then, in the <head> portion of the template, add your javascript function, like:

<script language="JavaScript">
function toFrame() {
  if (document.mapserv.mode.value == "query" || document.mapserv.mode.value == 
"nquery") {
    document.mapserv.target = "queryFrame";
  } else {
    document.mapserv.target = "_self";
  }
}
</script>

Note that the "mapserv" part of document.mapserv.target is the name attribute of 
the form as defined above, you can change it to whatever suits you.  
"queryFrame" is the name attribute of a frame as defined in your frameset.  
"_self" is a keyword that will send results to the same frame the contains the 
form.  If you want to send results to a separate window, you will need 
additional code to specify window attributes and open the window.

You can find lots of good JavaScript resources online.  Try 
http://developer.netscape.com/tech/javascript/index.html for starters.

Hope this helps,

--Ken

It's very doable. Just a bit of javascript. You need to control where the
results are processed, probably a hidden frame and that's where you'd
add members to the cart list. Could also add to a cookie, lot's of options.
There been some discussion on the list about changing frame targets
so please check those messages.

Hi,

I am new to mapserver. I have installed the basic setup, and tried the
core functionality.

I would appreciate some feeback from the list on the possibility of
developing via mapserver 
a sort of "basic shopping cart" function, i.e. selecting a feature from
my map and adding the corresponding ID to a list which is displayed in
another frame.


TIA for any hints/comments,

I'm in the midst of some low level changes to enable SDE and OGR
queries. This will also facilitate OGIS WMT compliance. SDE annotation
layers are not ready, nor is projection. EXPRESSIONS are supported
and are essentially SQL where clauses. They are not the same as normal
MapServer EXPRESSIONS. I figured why not take advantage of what
SDE brings to the table in this case. Basic labeling also should work, the only
exception is that label expressions (eg. ([PARKNAME] State Park)) do not
(and never will since they can be handled via SQL.

Hi Chris,

I tried to use mapserv with SDE 3.0.2 but I had no sucess.  I did
however manage to compile it using SDE 8.0.2 and Oracle 8.i.

Most things work except EXPRESSIONS, LABELS and ANNOTATION though I am
only using mapserv version 3.3.011. Version 3.3.012 may have fixed
these problems.

I hope that this helps.

Sven,

There was a problem with getShape() and a few others in PHP MapScript
3.3.011: the shape index was treated as double instead of as integer as
it should have been.

If you get a more recent version (i.e. 3.4 pre-release) then you'll get
this fix and a bunch of others.

Message-ID: <6DD7370C9452D31192A10008C75D075307B1B1E6@raptor.gov.yk.ca>

Hi All,

Just for the heck of it, I tried to compile Mapserver on Win32
using the Cygwin development environment. Well, not quite for
the heck of it but I'll save that for another time. :o

For the record, I'm not a programmer, I don't know a damn thing
about C and I know just enough about unices to really screw 
things up. Be that as it may, I thought I'd share my experience
in the hope it'll benefit somebody else who knows more about 
what they're doing. :)

I had almost no problems compiling Mapserver. However once 
Mapserver.exe is installed in $cgi-bin it doesn't run properly 
either. The exe does respond (apparently) correctly - no core 
dumps or  anything messy - it just doesn't do what you want: 
display a map. :)

cheers,

-matt
----------------------------------------------------------
The Environment:
  Windows NT 4.0sp5

Cygwin root is D:\cygwin 
(eg. "cd /" in bash shell is equiv. to "cd d:\cygwin" in NT 
 cmd shell)
Apache is installed to c:/local/Apache.
Webroot folder is d:/var/www.


#grab Mapserver nightly.tar and msworkbench (11-Dec-2k)
  cd /usr/local/src
  wget http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dist/nightly.tar.gz
  wget http://www.nyx.net/~tpoindex/gis/msworkbench.tar.gz

#unpackage Mapserver and workbench
  gunzip -c nightly.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  cd /usr/local/src/mapserver/mapscript/tcl
  gunzip -c /usr/local/src/msworkbench.tar.gz | tar xvf -

	#no errors or warnings were encountered,
	#was an error using '--with-proj'
  make
	#no errors, some warnings (see bottom of file)

  cp mapserv.exe //d/var/www/cgi-bin/

Pointing a web browser to http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv
yields:

	"No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, 
	but empty. "

Which I find promising - the exe responds with a message,
not a segfault, blue screen of death or other unfortunate
mess.

Next I installed the demo so there was something to work
with:
  cd //d/var/www/htdocs/maps
  wget http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dist/ms_demo.tar.gz
  gunzip -c ms_demo.tar.gz |tar xvf -

Fire up web browser and loading
http://localhost/maps/demo_init.html yields:

	"msLoadMap(): Regular expression error. (\.map$)"

And now we are truly into territory I don't understand. 
Perusing the Mapserver 'readme.win32' I see a section on
RegEx library, which isn't installed by default on VC++ 
systems. However it does seem to be installed on a Cygwin
system:
	/etc/setup/regex.lst.gz
	/lib/libregex.a 
	/usr/include/regex.h 
	/usr/include/regexp.h 
	/usr/info/regex.info 
	/usr/lib/libregex.a 
	/usr/local/share/aclocal/regex.m4 
	/usr/share/iwidgets3.0.0/scripts/regexpfield.itk 	

Just in case I adapted the instructions for VCwin32:

  cd /usr/local/src/mapserver
  wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/regex/regex-0.12.tar.gz
  gunzip -c regex-0.12.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Added to the Makefile:

	REGEX_OBJ=./regex-0.12/regex.obj
	REGEX_INC=-I./regex-0.12
	REGEX_OPT=-DHAVE_STRING_H -DREGEX_MALLOC

And recompiled. No errors that weren't seen before. And
no change in the resultant mapserv.exe behaviour either.

Oh well. {shrug} it was still fun to try. The fact that I made it this far
with no obvious problems leads me to think it shouldn't bet that difficult
to get the rest of the way  -- for somebody who knows what the *** they are
doing that is. ;-)

Here's what I have in my initial HTML file:

You can't use checkbox/radio button syntax with hidden variables. You need something like:

<input type="radio" name="zoomdir" value="1" [zoomdir_1_check]> zoom in<br>
<input type="radio" name="zoomdir" value="0" [zoomdir_0_check]> pan<br>
<input type="radio" name="zoomdir" value="-1" [zoomdir_-1_check]> zoom out<br>

If you really want a hidden variable to hold zoomdir which is set somewhere else, presumably
an initialization script use something like:

<input type="hidden" name="zoomdir" value="[zoomdir]">

I have what should be an easy question (but apparently not for me):

When working with the mapserv cgi, how do you set the "zoom in,zoom out,
pan" radio button to default to something other than "Pan"?

Here's what I have in my initial HTML file:

<input type="hidden" name="layer" value="layer1">
<input type="hidden" name="layer" value="layer2">
<input type="hidden" name="zoomdir" value=1 [zoomdir_1_check]>
<input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>


This defaults to "Pan", where I intended it to come up as "Zoom In".

For testing and development I find it much easier to change 
a lot of the input types to "text". This way you can more
quickly try more variations without having to actually edit
the init.html file. See the attached html file for an 
example (works for ms_demo, may need some alterations).

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to compile the mapserver on NT, but there are some
errors in the file mapserv.c mapserver.lib ... look.

-------
I think that the problem is in the library that are included on the file
mapserv.c ( egis.h, globalstruct.h, egisHTML.h) ... I don't have these files.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks a lot ...

Hi,

we're currently negotiating with our webhoster the use of mapserver. They
provide support for mysql, perl and php un a LINUX/Apache server, but they
won't let us install mapserver in the Apache cgi-bin directory. Is there any
possibility to run mapserver from our webspace without having access to the
configuration scripts ?
Thanks for the help

Subject: Mapscript: adding data points
Message-ID: <3A37F3E9.F545E938@optonline.net>


I want to thank all those who helped me last month in installing
Mapscript/PHP on an NT machine. I was wondering now if I might trouble
the group once more. I'm looking for some "starter code" for an SQL
interface.

I can't see anything in the archives that gives a plain example of
adding point data on-the-fly with Mapscript/PHP. For instance, with a
map containing layers like lakes, roads and parks, (...pre-defined shape
files), I'd like to add points, say... historical markers, from a MySQL
db. I use Decimal Degrees in my maps and my data have LAT/LON
coordinates.

The concept would be:
Add a layer as SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE LATITUDE BETWEEN x&y AND
LONGITUDE BETWEEN a&b.
This would return points that I'd like to include on the map as a layer.

Some things I've found thus far include labelObj from
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/html/0006/msg00125.html

but I can't make the connection to making the point layer.

An example would really help in getting me started with understanding
Mapscript (and PHP as well!).

Thanks for any help.

Message-ID: <200012132235.QAA11440@www3.software.umn.edu>

Hi Everyone,

Here's a MapServer problem which has perplexed my labmates and I for
several days - thought I'd throw it out to the mailing list for feedback.

I'm not able to display multiple layers if I submit my map request by
clicking on my submit button (named "Go" on my mapserver interface). 
However, individual layers display fine using the submit button, as long
as I select them one at a time before submitting.

Another interesting observation: I can get multiple layers to display if I
submit my map request by clicking on my map image area instead of on the
submit button.

Prior to all of this happening, I had just added a hidden "imgxy" variable
to my template file to take care of a previous problem: after zooming in
on my map image, adding a new layer would kick me back to the full map
extent.  (Any added layers, whether before or after zooming in, displayed
fine).

On the advice of Steve Lime, I've also tried turning off the legend to see
if the problem is related to a legend - layer minscale/maxscale issue. 
But this doesn't seem to make a difference at all.

My MapServer project startup page is located at:
http://gis.umn.edu/~mcaturia/minnesota/demo/index_demo.html

The map and template files are called "demo1.map" and "demo1.html", and
are located in the same /demo/ directory as above.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (And please note that I'm still a
fairly new MapServer, HTML and Java user.)  Many thanks!

Dear list

I've run into a problem with mapserver running on windows NT.
After mapserver har been doing it stuff, which is does fast
and apparently correct, my browser shows a fine web page with 
a map and everything, it hangs ??? The process says it waiting.
Well, I use "tlist" from NT's resource kit, which says
 "state: waiting".
After browsing for while, I've got a lot of mspserv.exe's hanging ... :-(

For the record, I have the same version (3.3.12) running on a linux box
(Mandrake 7.2) showing the same data with no problem at all.

Thanks, 
Allan

Subject: Map extent in MapScript
Message-ID: <00121413314401.02354@grobi>

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am trying to set a new map extent using an existing map file. The map file,
named 'dyn.map', is empty excpet for the following declarations:

NAME MMPLZ
STATUS ON
SIZE 600 600
SYMBOLSET "symbols/newsym.sym"
EXTENT 3806570.250000 5829377.000000 3809110.499999 5835739.500000
UNITS METERS
IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255

No layers at all. There is also a small WEB section. My MapScript in PHP
looks like:

1: $shpfname = "shape";
2: $shpf = ms_newShapefileObj ($shpfname, -1);
3: $myshape = $shpf -> getShape ($idx);
4: $mybounds = $myshape -> bounds;
5: $map = ms_newMapObj ("dyn.map");
6: $map -> set ("height", 300);
7: $map -> set ("width", 300);
8: $map -> extent = $mybounds;

The last line is crucial, because leaving it out or leaving it in does not
change the resulting image at all. Any ideas?

Subject: Customizing maps "on the fly"
Message-ID: <DF28BB4099A7D311BB3500508B63B7751A13E6@mail.nephrology.org>

Hello,

I currently have about twenty different choropleth layers available for
viewing (one at a time), so I was able to easily hardcode the class names
and layer descriptions for this phase.  However, I'm am now looking to
expand the available data layers to around 300+, so my previous methodology
does not agree with me.  :)  I would actually like to figure out how to
store all my raw data in a database (SQL Server in my case), have users
create a summarized table of data (eg. by state) based on a separate query
interface, then create a new map "on-the-fly" using this newly created
tablular data.

Is there a way to: 1) "join" this new table to an existing shapefile, or
create a new shapefile that references this table?
		  2) use this custom shapefile to then create an "on the
fly" mapfile to feed mapserver?
		  3) utilize some kind of a Lookup Table to dynamically
populate class names for legend labeling?

I'm set up with PHP3/mapscript and using it in the my site which is
currently based on the DM Solutions gmap demo.
I'm running on a Windows NT, IIS sever.
Here's the URL: http://www2.usrds.org/mapserver/gmap/htdocs/gmap75.phtml

Is PHP enough to create the interface I've described?  Are there other
languages I should utilize instead (in addition)?
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Stephan

You have to use the setextent() method to set the map extents:

  $map->setextent($mybounds->minx, $mybounds->miny,
                  $mybounds->maxx, $mybounds->maxy);

You always have to use the set() methods to set object properties in PHP
MapScript.  Setting $map->extent = ...; directly changes the value in
the PHP object itself but does not propagate automatically to the real
map object internally.  This is because there is no way to set callbacks
on property changes when we implement PHP objects in C.  Hopefully this
is something that will be added in PHP 4 at some point.

I assume that you mean have the attribute information in a SQL
database.  And the georgaphic data would still be in shapefiles, right?

#1, 2, 3 can all be done with PHP MapScript.  You would use the PHP ODBC
module to query your SQL database, and the PHP DBase module to create a
temporary DBF file for MapServer using the result of the query.

It is not possible to join an exsiting .shp file with a .dbf table with
the current MapServer.  However, the trick is to use a unique name for
the DBF table you create, and copy the .shp and .shx to the same
basename as the .dbf (on Unix you could use logical links)... resulting
in a new shapefile dataset.  Then you can feed that into one of your map
layers with the right classes and MapServer will be happy.

This technique was used several times and it works very well.  I'm
almost sure that's the kind of trick JF Doyon's Elections application
used.  We've also launched recently a couple of new application for
Health Canada (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hpb/lcdc/webmap/) that use a
similar approach to create cloropleth maps for over 100MB of disease
rates data.

BTW, Health Canada also launched a new version of its Fluwatch
application (using PHP MapScript) for the 2000-2001 flu season:

Yes, it is !

Although I've never tried it specifically with Mapserver, I've run entire
websites and webservers from a CD ROM ...

I use Sambar (http://www.sambar.com) ... It supports CGI and even comes with
a Perl 5 interpreter.

It can be configured to run fully from CD-ROM, all you'd have to do is add
your website and CGI's and so on ...

Cheers,

Message-ID: <20001215204310.41781.qmail@web10306.mail.yahoo.com>

Steve & others,

I'm using a nightly build from a couple of nights ago
and am having problems with the symbols.  I found a
message in the archives saying that I should remove
the LINESET (or SHADESET or MARKERSET) line from the
beginning of the files and the last END from the
files, then cat the files together.  I did this,
creating a file called SYMBOL.SYM.  I can't get
mapserver to work with this file.  And, I can't get it
to work with the individual *.sym files either. 
Basically, the only way I can get it to work now is to
omit any references to SYMBOLSET, MARKERSET, LINESET,
SHADESET, or any *.sym file.  This causes mapserver to
use the default symbol for all of my layers.  I can
change the colors, but not the symbol.

My question:  Could some kind soul post a concatenated
symbol file and example of *.map file that works with
a recent nightly build?

Thanks,

Maybe I should shout a 'RTFM!' at myself. I was staring on my printouts for
about half an hour because I could not believe that such a method did not
exist. Now I found it. After you pointed it out. I am getting old.

But here is another one I could not figure out. I tried to use the 'STYLED'
symbol type, which is documented but does not seem to exist anymore, neither
does it appear in the source code. I would like to use lines with a width of
more than one pixel, and really love to create things like a highway with two
solid side lines and a dashed center line.

"msDrawSDELayer(): General error message. SDE support is not available. " I
am working on NT and Oracle using the windows binaries. Does this mean that
SDE support is not available with them and I have to rebuild the exe
including SDE-support or simply that my SDE is not responding correctly or I
commited some other error? I am using Mapserver 3.3.011.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Gernot,

I'm not familiar with Windows NT so I can't answer your question with
confidence.  However, having said that, I do know that you will have to
compile mapserv with the SDE option.  Otherwise I think that it will
not work.  You will also need to make sure that your Oracle client
software is available on your mapserv server so that it knows how to
connect to the Oracle server.  You will need to do this before you
compile mapserv.

I hope that this helps.  Steve Lime will definitely know more about it
but I expect that he is very busy an relies on other users replying if
they know the answer.  I hope that someone will correct me if they know
that I have said something wrong.

Hi,

I have got mapserver running with the SDE connection stuff. It works
brilliantly except for the querying part. When I try to query the SDE theme
through either an "nquery" or "item/value" I get the follow error returned
from mapserver

msOpenSHPFile(): Unable to access file. (Sde.qld_np_estate_dbase_poly,shape)


which from the message would suggest that mapserver is trying to treat it as
a shapefile and not an SDE theme when querying

Anyone got an ideas

Thanks
Ross

Steve,

I remember 2 emails...  one was from JF who posted a message and using
geosymb.ttf
of unknown origin.  (That also peaked my interest..  There is probably copyright
involved
here, but maybe JF can post this file.)

That original email is at this URL:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/html/0008/msg00144.html
and with replies
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/html/0009/msg00005.html

There was also some email mention of keymapping the correct characters within a
TTF file
submitted by John Hockaday sometime later.  

I uploaded (temporarily) my small collection of TTF mapping fonts to

http://www.mapmining.com/map_fonts/

If anyone else comes up with mapping fonts, please let me know.

Regards,

Chris Stuber (mapsurfer)

Morning all,

Having reviewed the user documentation and examples. I am confused as to how
I might use a tiff or geotiff as the underlying map. I could really use an
example. I have lat / long in data which i would like to represent on the
tiff. Can I get some help or get pointed to an existing example which
someone may have created.??

Thanks Andy

Message-ID: <3A3F894D.2D05D5F2@keyspanenergy.com>

Hello all,
I'm looking to create some point layers from a MySQL db that has lat/lon
entries. I wanted to use mapscript, but there is more than a 3 minute
lag in retreiving the data from the db.
(I've heavily indexed the db, but calls like "where LAT BETWEEN
south_value AND north_value AND LON BETWEEN west_value AND east_value"
return about 500 records out of a possible 1.8 million.) Therefore, I
thought I'd do some pre-processing and have some layers already
available... trading disk space for speed.
I've used shpcreate and shpadd to make the layers, but the disk I/O
requires an unacceptable amount of activity. (With more than 4 million
write functions needed between shp, shx & dbf... I'm concerned about
affecting the life and integrity of my hard drive).

I could use ArcView, but that would be a manual process with more than
300 layers to process. Is there any ArcView script running around there
that could do this? Otherwise, are there any shpcreate, dbfcreate,
shpadd, dbfadd executables that would take a file name as an argument
and write the data in one pass? I want to get to one open/write/close
activity for each layer rather than for each point.

Thanks much for any assistance.
Kieran

Kieran,

You could use MapScript's shapeFileObj (and the Perl or PHP DBF module)
to create your files... it would require only one open/close per layer
as you suggested.

If you use PHP, then there is an example of creating shapefiles with the
corresponding DBF entries in the MapServer source distribution in:
mapserver/mapscript/php3/examples/test_writeshape.phtml

Of course, another solution might be to do it directly in C with
shapelib, but then you'll have to write the access to the MySQL database
in C too and you probably don't want that.

Good Luck!

Daniel

Has anyone created Win32 DLLs for any of the following?

mapserv,freetype,libtiff,proj,regex,gd,gdft

I believe that in order to get mapscript to run
on the Windows platform, the components needs to be
callable presumably via DLL.  Or perhaps mapscript
can be statically linked to these libs???   Has anyone
gotten mapscript to run under Perl, ActiveX/COM?

If anyone has gone down this road, your comments
would be appreciated.

Chris (and list subscribers),

  I've made Windows DLLs for the MapServer-related
libraries you've listed.

And I've made a couple of attempts at getting a Perl
version of MapScript built but was unsuccessful.  See the
included text below for some details (it's an email I sent
to the list on June 13, 2000).  

The short story is I was able to build a mapscript.dll, but
ActivePerl would not load it.  My current theory there are
some function interfacing issues.  The answer may be
to "Swig" mapscript on NT to see if the generated code
is any different then the code generated on Unix (and
packaged with the rest of the MapServer source).  Haven't
got around to that yet...

As for the ActiveX/COM question, I had written a rudimentary
ActiveX layer to MapServer (before MapScript came out).
It worked ok, but was lacking features, mostly related to
dealing with layers as a collection.  I put the work on hold
until I had a chance to examine Steve's MapScript object
model and haven't returned to it.  Too bad Swig doesn't
produce ActiveX wrappers...

======================================
Steve (and list subscribers),

    I'm using the makefile created by using the
command "perl makefile.pl" (I'm using ActivePerl,
on NT 4.0.  I then  do an "nmake" at the command
line.

 I removed the "-nodefaultlib" from the makefile
(what a hacker), and now it will compile to a DLL
using "nmake". I then did a "nmake install" and it
seemed to work (it copied files into the ActivePerl
directory and updated some other files).

  I tried the dump.pl perl script in the mapscript
examples directory, and got the following error:

Error: Parse Exception

When I use perl interactively, and type in the first
line of the dump.pl script "use mapscript;" I get
the same error as above.  So likely some perl file
has not been updated properly so it will recognize
the mapscript package.

Any perl experts out there..?

Which makefiles you using and are you using the perl MakeMaker 
module to build the perl code? I'm a win32 neophyte so how to install
the dll is a mystery. A note to the list might help cause I think there are
a bunch of people trying to do this same thing.

Steve,

  Well, it looks like we won't have to change the variable names
(maybe).  I edited the Makefile at the line CCFLAGS (approx
line 244) and removed -TP and -DPERL_OBJECT.

Things compiled alot cleaner, but I still had some unresolved
symbols at the linking stage.  I added perlCAPI.lib to the list
of libaries in perlvars, and inserted  #include "perlCAPI.h" into
mapscript_wrap.c

  It compiles and links in the VC++ GUI.  I actually get a DLL !

However, on the command line with nmake, the linking stage
gives unresolved symbols in regex and proj of "HUGE" and 
"pctype".  I'm not sure if it's worth pursuing since I can use
the GUI to produce the DLL.

  Now that I have a mapscript.dll (the same as mapscript.so
in Unix?), what do I do with it (be nice!)?  Do I need to place 
it in the perl dir tree somewhere?

Thanks,
Brent

"Nice" may be a strong word :), but here's an example of something I had

Here too is a sample from my original mapfile with the first of 18 layers.  
The layer names the Classitem, then uses the Expression line to associate a
classitem value with a RGB color.
The the Class "Name" populates the legend labels.

swig -perl5 -shadow mapscript.i
using swig 1.3a3 for NT, I kept getting an Application Error whilst
using the -shadow switch.  I suspect there is some problem with 
swig that I could not identify. 

I think your theory about interface issue is right on target.
I was reading up on DLLs tonight, and found a HOWTO that
describes the necessity for each DLL to have a LibMain and
something called WEP (Windows Exit Procedure).  Quite possibly
this is the problem with ActiveState Perl loading the DLL.
I am not yet in a position to test this, but should be able
get there in a day or 2.    I also read in the swig documentation
that it is possible to build the swig'd module from static libs
from within the Visual Studio environment by linking
the same as mapserver.

The ActiveState Perl is a little klunky for Windows people in
general... most Windows people prefer an ActiveX wrapper
interface.

Thanks again... If I make any progress on this, I will let
you know.

FYI. Note this library will handle the newer 3D shapes that mapscript won't. MapScript
shapefile access is a bit more abstract and easier to use but this may help some folks.

Message-ID: <3A426861.52E073B5@geoplan.ufl.edu>

Hi all,

I'm stumped and hope someone else has done something like this.
I have a point dataset that I wanted to use in a similar way
as a tileindex but a little differently. Mapserver's tileindex 
works only with polygon shapefiles and those show extents, not 
point locations.

These points are locations of brochures showing maps of short local 
trails that we scanned because they were too small to include in our
statewide trails
database. I want to be able to click on the points and bring up the
images - probably tifs (or pdfs). Then I'd like them to be able to zoom
in on the
tifs just as if it were a map.

Any ideas as to how to do this are appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrea

Dear All,

I am new user and having problems in compiling map server on win32
platform. I want to use true type fonts and I have down loaded the true
type fonts but I don't know where to put its directory. Should I put
directory in

\mapserver\gdft\
\mapserver\
\mapserver\fonts\

If  I put in \mapserver\gdft and then compile then  I get an error
mapsymbol.c (10) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'freetype.h' : No such file or directory.  NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'c1'
: return code '0x2'

Now if I copy freetype.h  and all other .h files from freetype\lib\
directory then it compiles and create .obj but it stops and give and error
while creating .exe.

The error is

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make

I am desprate.

It's doable, here's how:

1) For each point you need the following in the shapefile attributes: filename, rows, cols.
2) Each image will need a world file. Even though they aren't maps you can fake it. I think
you can use something like this for an image 1000 x 1500:

1.0
0.0
0.0
-1.0
0.0
1500.0

3) In your main mapfile you set the point query to call another mapserver application for an
individual image. The url template might look like:

 TEMPLATE http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=imageview.map&map_image_data=[FILENAME]&mapext=1+1+[COLS]+[ROWS]

4) Your second application is pretty simple, just the image viewer. The image layer def would look like:

LAYER
  NAME 'image'
  TYPE RASTER
  DATA 'dummy' # you'll change this on-the-fly
  STATUS DEFAULT
END

Does this make sense. Shouldn't be too hard once you the get image shapefile (i.e. points) set up and
the world files in place.

 There's no way to avoid disk activity. You can use mapscript to do this pretty easily. 
The algorithm is:

1) create new shapefile and dbf file
2) query mysql
3) for each result write a shape and an attribute record
4) close/save the files

No more than 30 lines of code.

Hello all,
I'm looking to create some point layers from a MySQL db that has lat/lon
entries. I wanted to use mapscript, but there is more than a 3 minute
lag in retreiving the data from the db.
(I've heavily indexed the db, but calls like "where LAT BETWEEN
south_value AND north_value AND LON BETWEEN west_value AND east_value"
return about 500 records out of a possible 1.8 million.) Therefore, I
thought I'd do some pre-processing and have some layers already
available... trading disk space for speed.
I've used shpcreate and shpadd to make the layers, but the disk I/O
requires an unacceptable amount of activity. (With more than 4 million
write functions needed between shp, shx & dbf... I'm concerned about
affecting the life and integrity of my hard drive).

I could use ArcView, but that would be a manual process with more than
300 layers to process. Is there any ArcView script running around there
that could do this? Otherwise, are there any shpcreate, dbfcreate,
shpadd, dbfadd executables that would take a file name as an argument
and write the data in one pass? I want to get to one open/write/close
activity for each layer rather than for each point.

Thanks much for any assistance.
Kieran

Just wanted to throw a couple of other example interfaces out there. One is LandView which I've
mentioned before. I did add minscale/maxscale support so it's pretty much finished. The interface
is at:

http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/landview 

All javascript code is at http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/javascript and the mapplet applet is at
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/java/mapplet. Feel free to nab what you wish. The application is literally
a single html page so view that source (eg. index.html).

Another new app is a snowmobiling trail application which can be seen at:

http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/www/docs/compass/snowmobile/view.map&zoomsize=3&zoomdir=1&init=true

Yet another hybrid based largely in MapScript can be found at:

http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/current_conditions (click the weather mapplet link in the UR corner of the page)

The map is generated using MapScript from National Weather Service data and presented with a hybrid that
turns XML data into an imagemap.

Anyway, hope everyone will have a nice holiday weekend. Regards.

SDE based clipping, RDBMS expressions). This leads to 
very non-general code and potentially confusing
configuration. SDE is sort of special in this case. I'm
leaning to using SDE simply as another datasource,
relying on mapserver functions to project, clip, classify and query. I believe consistency is important
and I really don't want to change the rules for
different data sources.

Understanding that MapServer expressions are ripe for
optimization and expansion (eg. functions), how many
users would this decision impact? Given that a full 
SDE implementation hasn't been out there anyway I would
hope not many.

Have a good new year...

Morning All

Is there is a standalone utility which can convert .e00 to shp files?

Hi,

It's been awhile since I've used them, but if I'm not mistaken, ESRI ships
two standalone utilities with ArcView, import, and import71 designed to
transform different data types to ArcView compatible formats. This may fill
the bill for you.

Hello, 

Basically I am stuck up with finding a simple yet flexible solution where I can plot points on the graphs easily.I have the values to be plotted and further want them to be mapped on a map and then want to highlight a particular point on that map. 

Some thing like this, if I say MethodShow(x,y), I should be able to highlight that point on the map. 

I will be highly obliged if you get me some real useful information. 

I hope you will do the needful.
