How do I have to refine this? There is only one layer in my map, which
comes from a single shapefile. How do I have to refine the following
query: I want the user to click into the image. That point I use
to create a box with the point in the center. Now I want to know which
shapes are under this box.


btw, This does not explain why the thing segfaults?

Maybe I should clarify my question: I already have a 
rectObj, and I got a mapObj with a layer and a shapefile loaded.

What do I have to build into the map file and/or my php mapscript to
get hold on a queryResultObj that answers the question: what shapes are 
visible in that rectangle?

I am quite clueless at that point right now, and I know there must
be a - simple? - way to make it work.

Message-ID: <sa798bf4.062@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Here's a perl sample that does a rectangle query on a layer. I assume the PHP/MapScript
code would look *very* similar. Note that this will get easier in the upcoming release since
result objects are gone and the results of a query are part of a layer.

#
# This function uses an arbitrary rectangle object to query against
# a USGS map series (e.g. 24k, 100k, or 250k) to compile a list of
# all maps that cover a certain area. Once the query is done the results
# are stepped through and a field from the shapefile .dbf file is extracted
# for each matching record.
#
# (taken from drgs.pl - http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/tomo/)
#
sub maplist() {
  my($extent, $layername) = @_;

  my $map = new mapObj($searchmap) or &error('Unable to load $searchmap.');

  my $layer = $map->getLayerByName($layername) or &error("Layer $layername not found in $searchmap.");
  $layer->{status} = $mapscript::MS_ON;

  my $results = $layer->queryUsingRect($map, $extent) or &error('Query failed.');

  my $table = '';
  my @list = '';
  for(my $i=0; $i<$results->{numresults}; $i++) {
    my $data = $results->next();
    
    if(!$table) {
      $table = new XBase $map->{shapepath}.'/'.$layer->{data}.'.dbf' or &error(XBase->errstr);
    }
    
    (my $deleted, $list[$i]) = $table->get_record($data->{shape}, 'TILE_NAME');
  }

  $table->close();
  $results->free();
  undef $map;

  return(join(', ', @list));
}

Hope this helps.

Message-ID: <Pine.OSF.4.30.0102020816590.11933-100000@student.uq.edu.au>

To get your hands on the queryResultObj object you need the following:

In the single layer you need a query object.  Here is an example from one
of my map files:

#	Layer: "pla06037"
LAYER
	NAME "pla06037"
	DESCRIPTION "Places (1995)"
	TYPE POLYGON
	STATUS ON
	DATA "pla06037"

	CLASS
		EXPRESSION  (1 eq 1)
		NAME "pla06037"
		COLOR 150 120 00
		OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
	END #Class

	QUERYITEM 'NAME'
	TOLERANCE 0
	QUERY
		EXPRESSION (1 eq 1)
		TEMPLATE ""
	END #Query

END #Layer

Then in the code that you have, you need to do either a queryUsingRect,
queryUsingPoint, queryUsingFeatures or queryUsingShape.

Ex.	$mapQuery = $map->queryUsingPoint($point, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);

The $mapQuery part of the previous expression is the queryResultObj.  From
there you can pull your results.

For your purposes you would need to use a queryUsingRect();

Also take a look at the gmap example that comes with PHP-MapScript as it
gives an example of doing the query with a point on the shapefiles.

Message-ID: <3A7A7467.618F22B6@crs4.it>

Hi,

I am getting problems building the php mapscript module...

This is an excerpt from my make output:

-- 
cd mapscript/php3; make; cd ../..
make[1]: Entering directory
`/opt/gislab/src/mapserv_new/mapserver/mapscript/php3'

.........
.........
.........
etc.


I have noticed that the references are all to the functions contained in
my libphp3.so. I have tried forcing the linker to read this file (adding
-L and -l...), but this in turn returns other undefined references to
functions with an ap_ prefix (presumably related to Apache)


...one thing I had to change to the Makefile is that, although I am
using gcc, the configure script generates for the PHP mapscript Makefile
a CC=cc (which I changed to gcc). I don't know whether this may be
related to the above problem...


Any suggestions ?


Regards,


p.s. I am in a Solaris environment; Apache and PHP are working.

Not stupid questions, and not possible directly with the current mapscript 
implementation. Deletion isn't that big of a deal since you can always turn 
a layer off. Changing order is harder and is complicated by the underlying 
storage in C.

There are work arounds. In MapScript you could manage order in the scripting 
language using a list of layer names and then use that to direct drawing order. For
example in perl:

@layers = ('roads', 'landcover', 'cities');

foreach $layername (@layers);
  $layer = $map->getLayerByName($layername);
  $layer->draw(...);
}

draws layers in an order defined by you and not the order in the mapfile. 

In what context (i.e. drawing, writing mapfiles) are you needing these functions?
I see where improvements could be made with respect to writing. There is only
a single method for writing and I see a need to expose object specific write()
methods, at least for layers.

I have experimented with an "ORDER ..." parameter that allowed you to change
processing order by shuffling that array. It proved cumbersome to use though in
practice so I removed it.

Message-ID: <sa7a8c40.003@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Remember that all layers are turned OFF by default as soon as the mapserv cgi
fires. Layers with status DEFAULT are untouched. You must explicitly turn layers
ON using either the LAYER/LAYERS or QLAYER CGI parameters. These can
be hidden vars or controlled via form elements. If no layers have been turned on
then there is nothing to query and there can be no query map, rather an error
message. QLAYER is used to isolate a query to a single layer.

In short, the behavior you notice is intentional. What were you expecting?

Hi,

I've implemented something similar to Case #3 in
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests/itemquery/test.html 
but the user query by dragging a box with the mouse over a map to query
objects. I display a query result and result map in a popup window.

Anyway, I noticed this behaviour:

If I set the STATUS of the layer I'm querying on to be OFF, the result map
doesn't show up. If STATUS is set to DEFAULT, the result map shows up.

My problem is that I have to set the LAYER STATUS to OFF in order to be able
to turn layer on and off.

Does anyone has any idea on how to resolve this problem? ie to get both
(query result map and layer on/off) to work?

Here's my mapfile, ywseis.map, showing only the layer that I query on.

Thanks Steve, 
I am dealing entirely with simply user functionality on the web i.e.
interactivity and drawing to the browser.  I was wondering about
deletion, because it seemed to me that drawing performance was effected
by simply having a layer in a map, even if it was turned off (recently i
was using MapXtreme and that was a serious problem there when there were
raster images in the geoset, even if those layers were turned off) but i
just tested this and it's not a problem in MapServer so that's good!  
Reordering the layers was again just for user functionality, and having
the ability  for the user to reorder layers on the fly can be quite
handy especially when new layers are being added by the user and the
existing map order may no longer make sense, although using a list to
draw each layer in order would be entirely simple, i just hadn't thought
of it yet! 
Thanks, although i do think having an order function could be quite
useful.

then autoconf then ./configure

some users may need

I also compiled freetype support into my GD

to get configure to work without changing more of configure.in

2) Use class text expressions. That is, don't use label
item. Use the TEXT parameter with a value like:

  TEXT ([ADDRESS] [STREET])

where ADDRESS and STREET are shapefile variables.

1) I am unable to get the ANGLE AUTO to function with the CGI version for a 
LINE layer.

Could someone help me with the exact syntax (labeling works fine otherwise).

2) How can I get two fields in the same record (address and streetname) to 
display together as a label on a line segment?  LABELITEM with one field 
works fine;  I have tried multiple different setups and cannot get two labels 
to display.

Thank you.

Subject: point file filter
Message-ID: <f.f6f6d33.27ade906@aol.com>

Using the mapserver cgi, I have a point file in use.  I would like to add a 
select [drop down box] that has values for a filter to be applied to one 
field in the point file dbf so that only those records with the field value 
equal to that filter display.  Does anyone have an example of the .map and 
.htm that can demonstrate how this is implemented?

Thank you.

Daniel,
A few weeks ago I asked this question, but really didn't get around to
looking into the problem furthur until now.  However I am still have the
same problem as before.  I am sure that my layers are setup properly and
have included the mapfile that I am using below this message.

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Robert,

This probably has more to do with your .map layers setup than with
MapScript itself.  Are all the layers you want to query with STATUS=ON,
and do they all contain a QUERY object?

We've used queries with multiple layers before and I don't remember
noticing a problem... but a bug is always possible.  If you're sure that
your layers are setup properly, then please send me your .map file and
I'll try to reproduce/fix the problem.

You can use dynamic expressions to do that. Let's say you have a mapfile with
a point layer called "mypoints" with a single class. You can set up a select list
to set the expression for that class:

  <select name="map_mypoints_class_expression" single>
    <option value="expression"> option 1</option>
    <option value="expression"> option 2</option>
    ...
  </select>

The expressions can be any valid MapServer (i.e. string, logical or regular) 
expression. Syntax of the expression is identical to that entered in a map
file.

Greetings: In an effort to totally confuse people I'd like to announce that 3.4 is available for
download. DON'T GET TOO EXCITED! This is simply an official release of what has been
refered to as the "nightly build". It's being made available because the msWorkBench utilities
are based on it. I will be uploading my development version to the CVS tonight so that others
working on MapServer can start looking at the new code. This version is broken at the 
moment and will be undergoing a great deal of change in the next couple of weeks. ;-) Bottom
line is don't bother with the nightly's unless you have some special need to do so. The next
release will be labeled 3.5. So to recap:

  - 3.3.011 is the stable, documented release on the website
  - 3.4 is also *very* stable but documented only via the user list
  - 3.5 is in development and should be released yet this month

Please bear with us, I believe 3.5 will be worth the wait especially if you are interested in non-single
shapefile layers. Later...

Yes another symbolset email...

I too am having trouble trying to figure out what the new
symbolset files are supposed to look like. Just like another
mapserver user sent to the list, I too followed the directions
in taking out the words SHADESET, etc and the end END words
but still can't get it to work. It doesn't like the STYLED
word in the line symbol definitions so I tried changing
them to vector but get the error: 

loadSymbol(): Symbol definition error. Symbol of type VECTOR or ELLIPSE 
has no point data.

If someone has a symbolset file that works with a fairly recent
nightly build, could you please send it to the list?

Thanks,
Andrea

Andrea,

I found the best thing to do was to use the symbols.sym file that comes
with the gmap example, provided by DMSolutions.  Takes the hassle of
trying to concatenate the three files together yourself.

Maybe I could add my own question here...
I'd like to try using REGEXPs in a mapfile to do the same thing. I have a list of
hospital facilities where I'm enumerating the total number of beds. I want to render
the data based on the number of beds. I tried evaluating the number of TOTAL_BEDS,
but can only get it to work as follows. What I'd like to do is say something like:
EXPRESSION/> 400/
as opposed to
EXPRESSION /[4-9][1-9][0-9]/
Thanks,
Kieran

snippet follows...

    CLASSITEM TOTAL_BEDS
  CLASS
    NAME 'Greater than 401 Beds'
       SIZE 5
       EXPRESSION /[4-9][1-9][0-9]/

Robert,

Things seem OK in the .map file... I have no idea what's wrong.  Perhaps
the problem is in the way you call queryUsing...() or the way you
interpret the queryResultObj in your script?

If the whole project (incl. scripts and data) is not too big, then
perhaps you could zip it up and make it available for download and we
could try it ourselves and try to figure what the problem is.

BTW, a small note unrelated to the problem you're having: you can have
only one CLASSITEM and QUERYITEM per layer... when you have multiple
ones like you did, then I would think that they just overwrite each
other and only the last one remains.

Best Regards,

Use logical expressions here, not regex. The expression for 'Greater than 401 Beds'
would be EXPRESSION ([TOTAL_BEDS] > 400) and so on. It's possible to do this
with regex but it's easier the logicals.

Maybe I could add my own question here...
I'd like to try using REGEXPs in a mapfile to do the same thing. I have a list of
hospital facilities where I'm enumerating the total number of beds. I want to render
the data based on the number of beds. I tried evaluating the number of TOTAL_BEDS,
but can only get it to work as follows. What I'd like to do is say something like:
EXPRESSION/> 400/
as opposed to
EXPRESSION /[4-9][1-9][0-9]/
Thanks,
Kieran

snippet follows...

    CLASSITEM TOTAL_BEDS
  CLASS
    NAME 'Greater than 401 Beds'
       SIZE 5
       EXPRESSION /[4-9][1-9][0-9]/
       COLOR 0 0 0
      SYMBOL 1
  END

      CLASS
    NAME '250-400 Beds'
        SIZE 4
        EXPRESSION /^[2-3][5-9][0-9]$|^3[0-9][0-9]$/
        COLOR 0 0 255
        SYMBOL 1
     END  # CLASS

Thorsten,

I'm not sure if this is related to your problem or not, but you need to
have a QUERYITEM and a QUERY object in your layer definition for your
layer to be queryable.

However, I'm still concerned by the seg. fault and would like to be able
to track it... if you're using a recent version of MapServer (less than
a month old) and still get the seg. fault, then perhaps you could zip
your PHP script and data and send it to me and I'll see if I can
reproduce the crash.

Andrea,

When building a .so on Unix, it is normal to have undefined symbols,
i.e. when libphp3.so loads php_mapscript.so at runtime then the
php3_error and other symbols will become available.  By default ld does
not complain about undefined symbols so I suspect that the problem must
be coming from the "-assert nodefinitions" in your ld line... try
removing it.

BTW, I am already aware that the configure stuff for the PHP MapScript
has a number of problems outside of the Linux world (at least on AIX and
Solaris)... improving the PHP configure stuff is on the ToDo list.

Subject: On-the-fly projection problem.
Message-ID: <NDBBJJHMDMJFEBIIOOMPIEABCEAA.ems174@email.psu.edu>

Hello,
 I'm toying with doing some on-the-fly projection in my project and I ran
into a problem. I added a layer of roads to my project and set the
projections for both the map and roads layer. When viewing the map at full
extent, it works beautifully. Once the extent of the view does not
completely contain the projected layer, that layer is no longer drawn (this
includes zooming in past the extent of the projected layer and also panning
so that only part of that layer is within the view extent).
 I've done a search in the listserv archives, but I haven't come up with
anything that looks relevant.
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Carl,

Thanks for the patch... I've added the 2 lines you suggested to
configure.in (in the 3.5 CVS source):

  test -f $GD_DIR/.libs/libgd.a && GD_LIBDIR="$GD_DIR/.libs"
  test -f $GD_DIR/_libs/libgd.a && GD_LIBDIR="$GD_DIR/_libs"

We would need to detect that GD contains TTF and/or XPM using the
AC_CHECK_LIB() macro to add those CFLAGS in the configure stuff...

e.g.
  AC_CHECK_LIB(gd, gdImageJpeg, GD_DEF=-DUSE_GD_1_8,, $GD_LIB -ljpeg
-lpng -lz)

I don't have that version of GD running here, so I can't (at the moment)
add the AC_CHECK_LIB() macros that will detect TTF and XPM... but if you
do find them then please forward them to me and I'll update the
configure.in.

Thanks,

Map Server Users,

LizardTech is currently conducting a market study to ensure the next release
of its product, LizardTech Content Server (LTCS) 4.0, contains the features
companies desire to efficiently manage and serve high resolution digital
assets.

In LTCS 3.0,  assets are currently managed on a flat file system.  While
this provides a simple method for storing and managing files, it does not
provide a very robust infrastructure for relating other information that may
be associated with the files.  LTCS 4.0 will solve this issue by allowing
the assets to be managed within the context of a relational database
management system.

To ensure the rdbms implementation will be easily integratable into existing
workflows, we are gathering information from companies like yours that have
experience with the difficulties of managing digital assets.

I am not attempting to sell anything.  I want to gather information for
future generation of products.  If you would like to share your experiences
and/or have any suggestions for feature implementations, I would like to
hear from you.  Please email me or contact me at the number below.

Thanks for your help,

of course you can, because MapServer is Free Software!
You are offering service based on Free Software which
is the core idea of the business model of Free Software.

   OK, I don't think it's "nice" yet, it's still under
development, but it looks cute :>

There's an interesting... I don't know how do you say
in english, when you fix something in a way to be at
the same time shame and proud of :). The fact is that
there's a "location search engine" (in the lower-right
corner) wich sends an HTML page redirecting to a
normal map-browse page, so the user can continue to
navigate after a query... I don't know how did the
rest of you did it, but mine is working just fine! ;)

The National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center has put together a
MapServer site to access operational reference information for the National
Weather Service.  Of interest to the general MapServer crowd may be the use
of JavaScript to set up one click zooming/panning/querying (rather than
using drop downs and radio buttons to select modes).
JavaScript is also used to control the form target location so that query
results can be directed to either
a new window or to a second frame.  This site automatically detects screen
resolution to redirect the user to an interface best suited to their screen
size.  Any critical comments are welcomed and appreciated.

Message-ID: <20010207210312.26511.qmail@web4306.mail.yahoo.com>

  Hello

  It seems to me that, while zooming with the zoom CGI
variable works allright, with a zoomsize/zoomdir pair
the value is being truncated to a non-floating point
type.

  Also, it seems to me that the
[zoomsize_<val>_to_<val>_{check|select}] template
atribute is not working properly, at least with
floating-point types...

  Have anybody else here tried to work with real zoom
values????


--Nicolau




PS: Hey! I would like to say something else too! :) 
To me, this idea of zoom=2 means duplicatting the
scale, while zoom=-2 means divide by two is higly
unmathematical! Couldn't we create something like a
macho-coeficient-zoom=0.5 for dividing the zoom by
two? To make negative values mean zooming back, we
could also implement an exponential zoom! exp2zoom=0
would mantain the aspect ratio, while 1 would
duplicate and -1 would divide by two...

Floating point numbers are impossible to deal with in the template setting. 
Integers are much more useful in that case. There's nothing stopping you
from not using the _check/_select replacement strings and using a little
bit of javascript to maintain state. You can also use a text box to enter
zoom values, works fine.

The +/- is easier to understand for most folks and is certainly more ammenable
to substitution. Internally the math is handled basically like you outline. The
zoomfactor is used for division so 2 halves and -2 => ? multiplies.

[zoomsize_<val>_to_<val>_{check|select}] template
atribute is not working properly, at least with
floating-point types...

  Have anybody else here tried to work with real zoom
values????


--Nicolau




PS: Hey! I would like to say something else too! :) 
To me, this idea of zoom=2 means duplicatting the
scale, while zoom=-2 means divide by two is higly
unmathematical! Couldn't we create something like a
macho-coeficient-zoom=0.5 for dividing the zoom by
two? To make negative values mean zooming back, we
could also implement an exponential zoom! exp2zoom=0
would mantain the aspect ratio, while 1 would
duplicate and -1 would divide by two...

Subject: class with join
Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.4.05.10102071729570.16068-100000@hydis2.hwr.arizona.edu>


We are using JOIN to bring in new attributes to a layer, and need to make
classes based on the joined attributes, but just discovered by reading the
archives that this is not possible, directly. 

I'm trying to figure out what our options are. One option would be to edit
the dbf file of the shape file, adding our new attributes directly, rather
than using JOIN. But I wanted to see if there is an easier way before I go
that route.

Here is a copy of resonse to a previous question about class with join
that we found in the archives. Steve, could you explain in more detail the
options listed here in the following message?


>>Um, nope. No joins are supported for classification purposes. You can
only use directly attached attributes. This was done for performance
reasons. It's technically feasible though.

There are a couple of work arounds. The most straight forward would be
assign a shape to each record in the taxa dataset. You'll have duplicate
shapes (shapefile spec allows it) but with the maps you want to make that
won't be an issue. You can use mapscript to build the shapefile using your
taxa .dbf file as the new attribute table. Here's the approach

  1) open sites shapefile and taxa dbf file
  2) create a new taxa shapefile (type=point)
  3) for each taxa record
      - find the appropriate shape in sites 
      - read it from sites
      - write it to taxa

It's redundant but space it cheap and it will certainly be a lot faster.
You may also
want to add some metrics to sites.dbf as you go like number of taxa, date
range
or whatever.

Message-ID: <000f01c091d8$9abd6200$fb01a8c0@gis2.oku-kh.cz>

 Dear mapserver users!

I have several problems:

1. I tried new truetype line symbol support in 3.4. version, but the result
wasn't too nice (standard Arial "-" for dashed lines). Steve you wrote about
special truetype font for line features. It is possible to get it? Or what
is the solution?

2. With ITEMQUERY mode and using MAPEXT=SHAPE I would like to show the
result on certain scale, but BUFFER or SCALE parameter does nothing. I tried
the MAPXY=SHAPE, but with the same result. With point layers the result is
not usable.

3. In version 3.010 I use inline features this way:

In map file:
LAYER
  NAME 'pin'
  TYPE Point
  STATUS default
  FEATURE
    POINTS END
  END
  CLASS
    SYMBOL 8
    SIZE 10
    LABEL
      TYPE truetype
      POSITION cr
      OFFSET -5 0
      FONT arial
      SIZE 8
      COLOR 0 0 0
      BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 220
    END #Label
 END  # CLASS
END  # LAYER

and thru CGI I call:
...&map_pin_feature_poits=-683920+-1065907&map_feature_text=something&....

It works well, but in 3.4. version I get error message "internal server
error". Where is the mistake?

1) TTF line symbols are mean't as a way to annotate a line at regular intervals to create
effects like train tracks or weather symbols (fronts). They are not a replacement for normal
lines and are really just an experimental feature at this moment. I hope to polish them off
for the 3.5 release. At this point I have no fonts, other than a test font or two for distribution.

2) Using mapxy=shapes + a buffer or scale *should* work. I'll have a look.

3) I'm not sure why the error in 3.4, there were some implementation changes made in that
version that represent inline features using the same structures that hold any other shape
from shapefiles, SDE or whatever. There may be a bug in the code. However, there is an
error in your mapfile. There is no need to pre-define an empty feature. Remove the section:

FEATURE
   POINTS END
END

and see if that fixes things.

Subject: New Proj.4 perl bindings
Message-ID: <87wvb0sgdb.wl@delta.meridian-enviro.com>

I had found the proj.pm that Steven Lime let leak out on to the
mapserver mailing list (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/html/0006/msg00131.html)
was somewhat awkward to use, so I decided to wrap my own.  Good ol'
free software thinking.  :)

I've just finished my first pass at wrapping the proj.4 library, here
is a summary:

   use Projection;

   my $pj = new Prection(["proj=merc", "ellps=clrk66", "lon_0=-96"], $DEGREES);
   ($u, $v) = $pj->Forward(-97.0667, 47.9000);
   ($lat, $lon) = $pj->Inverse($y, $v);

Thats it.

The projection is automatically destroyed, so there isn't a need to
free it. Also, I got rid of the projUV structure. Oh, and the
arguments to making a new projection are automatically counted. (If
you want the default behaviour of using (ugh) radians, just make the
second argument to Projection "$RADIANDS".)

If anybody has any suggestions on improving this, please let me
know. (Does anybody *really* want that projUV structure exported out
into perl?)

I've no documentation, test suite, or much else, yet. But go ahead,
hold your breath, I'll get back to you.  ;^)

Oh, the standard

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make install

should work.

Hello everybody,

I'm new to this list and new to mapserver. I'm trying to use
mapserver for displaying ESRI shapefiles. It works fine and
querying on a line theme works too. But after clicking on an
object from a  point theme for querying, the mapserv process
seems to hang.

Perhaps this problem is known and well discussed or

to look for information.

Thank you for help.

Thank you very much for help. But some more questions:

ad 1) 3.4. does'nt support styled lines. But how can I draw dashed line
without TTF?
ad 3) Removing the section helped me. Now it works well. (But it did not
work even if section "POINTS 14256 56556 END" was filled in the map file)

I'm just getting started with Mapserver - mostly lurking on this list -
and am very interested in the TTF support.  I'm a font junky so have
collected many including some symbols.  The point I'm trying to get at is
will any TTF font I have (within reason) work?

Hello List.
I've begun learning about geotiffs and rasters and such.
Is there anyone who could talk about tiling multiple 1:24000 quads as a
basemap? I can't find anything in the archives on how to do this.
Example: I have shape files that cover different themes for Long Island,
NY.
roads.shp
lakes.shp
buildings.shp
These individual shape files cover the whole of Long Island.

Now, I found planimetrics of Long Island, but can't figure out how to
point to the one appropriate to where the user has zoomed in to.

Thanks,
Kieran

Subject: mapscript problem...
Message-ID: <F2491E9GQvnbEG10Gai000070c4@hotmail.com>

I would like to use mapscript (via Perl) to add functionality to my 
application, and have a few questions.

1./ How does mapscript interact w/ web applications.  ie does it replace the 
mapserv binary, acting as an interface to it?  I have an app underway 
without mapscript, so how does one integrate it into a web app?

2./
I tried the online example under the mapscript documentation page:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use mapscript;
$map = new mapObj('/www/docs/mapserv/example.map') or die('Unable to open 
mapfile: $!');
$img = $map->draw() or die('Unable to draw map');
mapscript::msSaveImage($img, '/www/docs/images/example.gif', 
$map->{interlace}, $map->{transparent});

..and received this error:

Unable to open mapfile: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I tried this both through a CGI and command-line mode.

Any idea what could be causing this (using Linux RedHat6.2).

Thanks

..Tom

Thanks to Daniel Morissette for his feedback.

Following Daniel's hint, I changed the options for ld to conform to my
ld's syntax (from -assert nodefinitions to -z nodefs would seem to make
sense), but the result is identical.

I would like to know if there is anybody on the list who has
successfully built PHP mapscript on Solaris, just to check how they got
it working.

Subject: Projections
Message-ID: <3A896D9A.CBB6D393@keyspanenergy.com>

List,
I want to try projecting some planimetric data with my own data. Would
someone review the following and tell me if I'm on the right track?

In a mapfile, I can state an output projection at the beginning of the
mapfile, outside of any other class or layer section.
I have planimetric raster files that I want to use as a basemap. They
are UTM, NAD27, Zone18. I have therefore put the following into my
mapfile:
PROJECTION
  "proj=utm"     # I understand this
  "ellps=clrk66"# I understand this
  "zone=18"     # I understand this
  "north"       # No Clue!
  "no_defs"     # No Clue!
END

I want to add point and line data on top on the basemap, but they are in
Decimal Degrees. Therefore, for each DD layer, I need to add the
following:
PROJECTION
"GEOGRAPHIC"
END
That will make the LAT/LON data line up properly with the basemap.

How am I doing?

BTW, can someone point me to documentation on the PROJ4 Projection
arguments? I can't fine anything on the use of "north" and "no_defs" or
any of the other arguments I've seen in the archives.
Thanks much for any input.
Kieran Ames

Subject: class with join
Message-ID: <sa891c3a.009@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

I assuming you're refering to the part:

  1) open sites shapefile and taxa dbf file
  2) create a new taxa shapefile (type=point)
  3) for each taxa record
      - find the appropriate shape in sites 
      - read it from sites
      - write it to taxa

It's just a way to build a shapefile around an existing dbf file. If I remember 
right each site maps to multiple records in the taxa file, and the taxa records
are unique to a particular point. My suggestion was to create a point file (based
on sites) for the taxa dbf file. So, the taxa file would end up containing the
same site point many times. Does this make sense?

>>> Zolla Michalak <michalak at hwr.arizona.edu> 02/07/01 06:45PM >>>

We are using JOIN to bring in new attributes to a layer, and need to make
classes based on the joined attributes, but just discovered by reading the
archives that this is not possible, directly. 

I'm trying to figure out what our options are. One option would be to edit
the dbf file of the shape file, adding our new attributes directly, rather
than using JOIN. But I wanted to see if there is an easier way before I go
that route.

Here is a copy of resonse to a previous question about class with join
that we found in the archives. Steve, could you explain in more detail the
options listed here in the following message?


>>Um, nope. No joins are supported for classification purposes. You can
only use directly attached attributes. This was done for performance
reasons. It's technically feasible though.

There are a couple of work arounds. The most straight forward would be
assign a shape to each record in the taxa dataset. You'll have duplicate
shapes (shapefile spec allows it) but with the maps you want to make that
won't be an issue. You can use mapscript to build the shapefile using your
taxa .dbf file as the new attribute table. Here's the approach

  1) open sites shapefile and taxa dbf file
  2) create a new taxa shapefile (type=point)
  3) for each taxa record
      - find the appropriate shape in sites 
      - read it from sites
      - write it to taxa

It's redundant but space it cheap and it will certainly be a lot faster.
You may also
want to add some metrics to sites.dbf as you go like number of taxa, date
range
or whatever.

  I wanted to throw a demo of what we're doing into the mix. Mike Anderson
and myself have been working on this for a while now and wanted to show it
off since it's a bit different than the other MapServer applications we've
seen.
  The interface is done entirely in HTML, DHTML, and Javascript, there's no
Java involved. Use is currently only available to Internet Explorer 5.0 or
greater, but we hope to remedy that soon.
  Questions, comments, and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Feel

  I'd appreciate any help you could give me.

Subject: Use of tiled data...
Message-ID: <3A8A6D40.C9429EA3@webgis.de>

Dear List,

I know this subject has been mentioned a lot in the archive, but i still
need some advice.

I have datsets that are organised by directory structure. In each
subdirectory i have a set of shapes always with the same name.
So far, it looks as if it's just the normal case when you would use a
tiled data layer (.ie TILEINDEX).
But for each "MapServer-Session" I only want to access exactly one
subdirectoy (the county the user has chosen) no information about
adjacent counties has to be displayed or queried. But i need the
displayed layer to be queryable.

At the moment, I am thinking of using php/mapscript calls to change the
source of the layer, after the user has chosen a county. Could it be
done diffenrently? Via the URL
(cgi-bin/mapserv?...&map_layername_data=./main_dir/sub_dir/shapefile&...)?

Any comments will be appreciated! Thanks,

Michael

Dear Listers,

got no response to the following question:

If I use mapserver on a homepage of a customer what about the license?
Can i take money for this? If I change the code of mapserver, do I have
to make it public and where?

Is there a license I have to sign (GNU orr OpenGIS)?

Thanks a lot!


Peter

Peter - Not the world's biggest expert on The Law, but as I understand
it, mapserver's license is essentially the MIT license, which should
allow you to get paid for building something (even GPL should allow
that),  you can change the code, and (little uncertain about this) I
don't think you have to make the code public, although it would
certainly be nice.  I'm not sure where you post the code - look on the
website for instructions on using the CVS server...

I don't think you have to sign anything.

Subject: Problems with ms_newFeatureObj in PHP3 MapScript
Message-ID: <3A8AA6A9.7BC64136@medschool.hull.ac.uk>

Hi All,

I've been struggling for a while now to make automatic inline feature
addition work, but with no success.  Maybe somebody can tell me what's
wrong with the following script.


    $qry = "SELECT * FROM FieldData";
    $qry .= " WHERE ID=".$id;
    $qry .= " ORDER BY 1,2,3";

    $result = mysql_query($qry, $conn);
    if ($result):

      // Load MapScript module.
      dl("php_mapscript.so");

      // Load MapServer .map file
      $map = ms_newMapObj("NW_Arg.map");

      // Get a handle to the 'Sites' layer
      // The layer properties are defined in the map file
      $lyr_Sites = $map->getLayerByName("sites");

      // Add a feature for every record in the result set
      // The result set will contain about 20 rows
      while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ):

          $lng = (double)$row["Lng"];
          $lat = (double)$row["Lat"];
           .....
          $line = ms_newLineObj();
          $retval = $line->addXY($lng, $lat);
          $feature = ms_newFeatureObj($lyr_Sites);
          $retval = $feature->shape->add($line);      // $retval is
always 0, i.e. success
          $feature->set("text", "H".$row["FieldNo"]);
      endwhile;
      mysql_free_result($result);

      $lyr_Sites->set("status", 1);
      .....
      $img = $map->draw();
      $url = $img->saveWebImage(0, 0);
      printf("<IMG SRC=%s WIDTH=%d HEIGHT=%d><BR>\n", $url, $map->width,
$map->height);
      .....
   endif;

The problem now shows itself, viz: even though there may be 20 entries
in the result set ONLY ONE ever appears on the map image! The one that
does appear is ALWAYS the first in the result set. (I've even used
$map->Save("/some/file/name.map") with the same result, the "sites"
layer only contains one FEATURE element.  I have a feeling that
ms_newFeatureObj() is not properly linking the new feature into the
layer->features linked list.

To see this in action, go to
http://www.med-phys.hull.ac.uk/~Lobivia/Search.php3?id=1150 and click
the 'Show Map' link.  All the sites under Field Data should be plotted
but only the first is seen!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way would be just to modify the value of SHAPEPATH
to point to the desired directory. You could use the form variable

  map_shapepath

to change it whatever you'd like.

Dear List,

I know this subject has been mentioned a lot in the archive, but i still
need some advice.

I have datsets that are organised by directory structure. In each
subdirectory i have a set of shapes always with the same name.
So far, it looks as if it's just the normal case when you would use a
tiled data layer (.ie TILEINDEX).
But for each "MapServer-Session" I only want to access exactly one
subdirectoy (the county the user has chosen) no information about
adjacent counties has to be displayed or queried. But i need the
displayed layer to be queryable.

At the moment, I am thinking of using php/mapscript calls to change the
source of the layer, after the user has chosen a county. Could it be
done diffenrently? Via the URL
(cgi-bin/mapserv?...&map_layername_data=./main_dir/sub_dir/shapefile&...)?

Any comments will be appreciated! Thanks,

Michael

Martin,

Which version of PHP MapScript are you using?
I think ms_NewFeatureObj() has been removed after the 3.3.011 release
and it may well have been broken in version 3.3.011.

I suggest that you get version 3.4 (it is much more stable anyways) and
use layerObj's addFeature(shapeObj shape) method which replaced the
ms_NewFeatureObj().

Best Regards,

MIT license as well as BSD and MapServer license allow all
to disclose improved code and make distribute it (or sell it)
as a proprietary product.

Hi,

just realized that if you have a browser without javascript,
you have no navigation opportunities on the mapserver
homepage (try it out with  disabling javascript in your browser).

If no javascript is available in the browser, that homepage
should offer an alternative navigation (can be simple, I just
need some hooks).

Subject: OGC / MapScript questions
Message-ID: <F119KpzxDPHprp5yLZ80000ac50@hotmail.com>

Hi,

I'v been working w/ MapServer to build a basic application.  Until now, I 
have not used any MapScript.

I would like to integrate layers called from OGC-type servers (eg. 
clearinghouse dcw data), to overlay onto my datasets.  I have a script to 
return an OGC-style response of data BBOX, and would like to glue this into 
mapserver.

I understand OGC compliance is forthcoming, but is this possible in 
MapScript in the interim?  Does anyone have any examples of this working?

I tried running the site example for MapScript on my web server:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use mapscript;

my $map = new mapObj('/www/htdocs/gis/mapserv/wmp/wmp-dev.map') or die 
"Unable to open mapfile: $!\n";
my $img = $map->draw() or die('Unable to draw map');
mapscript::msSaveImage($img, '/tmp/imgfile', $map->{interlace}, 
$map->{transparent});

and get the following error in my error_log:

Unable to open mapfile: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I'm running mapserver on a RedHat6.2 with Apache-1.3.14

Anyone had this type of issue?

How does one deal w/ MapScript?  Does it replace the mapserv binary as the 
driving application, calling everthing through there?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

..Tom

What version of the SDE API did you use when writing mapserver, 
do you have
a distribution of mapserver that I can use that contains SDE 
support or do
you have any pointers for trying to run mapserver with connecting 
to the
ESRI SDE.

I have also attached a copy of the make file that I am using.

Hi.
I have been testing Mapserver for some months and is now ready to use it
in some applications on Internet and Intranet.
I'm working at the Municipality of Sandviken in Sweden and my question is:
In the license:
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining...

Is it OK to use in an organisation when the license says "person"?

Many thanks for your reply.  I've been using MS 3.3.011 so no wonder I
was having problems!
I will immediately upgrade to 3.4.

Message-ID: <3A8BBFFA.FA96C9BB@3wsi.com>


Ok, I have mapserver 3.3.011 running without problems.  The demo works
fine and I am convinced that this is the software I need.

When I try 3.4, though, i get the following error message:

msLoadMap(): Unknown identifier. (SHADESET):(6)

Everything else is the same, except that with 3.4 I included
PHP/Mapscript

I have double-checked the paths, permissions, read the docs, and
searched with google, and come up empty.  I am running apache-1.3.17
with php-4.0.4pl1 on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.17 .  Mapserver configuration
args:

./configure --with-php=../php-4.0.4pl1
--with-apache=/usr/local/apache/include --with-tiff=../tiff-v3.5.6-beta
--with-jpeg=../jpeg-6b

Any ideas?

Thanks, 

angus

Subject: shapefile viewer
Message-ID: <bf.ba7568a.27bd2b72@aol.com>

Greetings --

I am seeking a freeware, Delphi (5) based, basic shape file viewer, with 
source code, for execution on windows 98/NT platforms (non-web), that we can 
redistribute to a user community that downloads our no-fee, no-strings 
attached, Census 2000 TIGER file based shape files (organized by state and 
county, covering the US). Most of these files (counties, school districts, 
roads, census tracts, block groups, blocks) are now available.  A message 
will be posted soon with more information.  Of course, these files can be 
used for display directly with MapServer. :)

I am familiar with the good work of InovaGIS and that shapefile viewer.  It 
is in VB and we need the ability to display geocodes.

Can anyone provide me with Delphi-based software or suggest a source? 

Thank you.

I think it's changed to SYMBOLSET(? since 3.4). I do not know why but I
look at the source code there is no SHADESET.

I'm working on a fairly simple map browser that I need to pass a
latitude and longitude to another URL. I've got the browser working
using mapserv with zoom in/out and pan/recenter. What I need to figure
out is how to have another button/selection labled "Select Location"
that will cause the user to be forwarded either to a URL like
"http://www.com/form?lat=47.899474?lon=-96,843673" or to filter a HTML
document changing [maplat] and [maplon] to the lat/lon.

I seem to be stuck on this, any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.

sure! "person" is not meaning "human being".
Any organization is a "legal person" :-)

Alex,

Here's another free viewer. I really don't know much about it. I've only
played around with it briefly. It's very similar to ArcExplorer. I don't
know if the code is available. There are some development libraries on their
site. Might be worth checking out.

do i need to specify the zoom size - zoom dir ect???

or simply say i want only a gif image of the size sizeX-sizeY spcefied by

Here is an email that was sent to the list sometime before.  It should
explain the answer to your problem.  I also find it best to use the
symbols.sym from the GMap example.

The new version uses a unified symbol file format which means you can
store all symbols in one file. This allows for inline definitions (i.e.
within a mapfile) of symbols and more straight forward mapscript access.
Anyway here's what's needed to switch:

  1) SHADESET, MARKERSET, LINESET are gone and replaced by SYMBOLSET
  2) the keywords SHADESET, MARKERSET, LINESET need to be removed from
      symbol files, and so should the last END keyword
  3) you can "cat" them all together That should do it.

Why are you focusing on a Delphi-based application? Are you planning to
extend an existing program for your needs? In that case the tools
already mentioned in this thread won't help you: Although some are
gratis, none of them is free. IMHO also ESRI's MapObjects won't help you,
as I understand their licence strategy you are charged for each run-time
you distribute.

You might have a look at OpenMap:

Message-ID: <3A8D4518.8C6E2592@dmsolutions.ca>

Hi everyone,

If I may take a quick moment of your time, I would like to pass along
some important recent developments that I think will have significant
impacts on the MapServer software and user-base.

Several recent opportunities have come through for our organization
which are allowing us to take a much more significant role in the
ongoing development, enhancements and support for MapServer.  Over the
next 6 to 9 months, DM Solutions Group will be developing or
collaborating with the UMN to include:

1. OGR Integration with MapServer:
- this will allow for direct access to several new vector formats, of
the greatest interest being MapInfo, Tiger, and SDTS files

2. GDAL integration with MapServer:
- this will extend the direct access to raster formats to 20 new formats
including Arc/Info Grids and USGS DEMs

3. Image Warping:
- this allows for on-the-fly reprojection of rasters

4. OGC Web Mapping Specification Compliance:
- we will be collaborating with UMN in terms of development, testing,
and documentation.  In addition, we will be adding "cascading"
capability that allows MapServer to act as a client to multiple WMS
MapServers - this allows applications to include data from multiple
remote sources in a single web application.

5. Web-based .MAP Editor
- this will be a web equivalent to Tom Poindexter's excellent new
workbench utility.


And of course, it will all be released as Open source :)


If anyone happens to be going to the GIS show in Vancouver, I will be
making a presentation on Open Source tools for Web Mapping - featuring
MapServer.  I will be talking much more about these upcoming
developments.  I encourage you to pop by and introduce yourself.  I'm
always interested in learning about what users are doing with this great
technology.  For a write up on some of our activities pertaining to
MapServer see:

http://www.web-mapper.com/articles/tech/internet/dmsolutions/mapserver.cfm


Also, a couple of applications we have recently launched (I don't think
I sent this out to the list before, if I did, my apologies)

Health Canada's Disease Surveillance Online:

Health Canada's FluWatch:

Happy mapping everyone.  We're really excited but these upcoming
developments and in seeing them used throughout the community.

Subject: Landview reference map
Message-ID: <sa8cf1c5.024@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

There 's a bit more to it. The mapfile can be viewed at:

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

Note that this is not a traditional reference map, that is there
is no use of a REFERENCE section. Rather it is a second
map that is always rendered using the same map extent. The
thing that changes is the feature (i.e. a box or point) that is
added to the map via a URL.

If the scale of the main map is such that a box can be seen
then a feature is defined for the 'box' layer, if in real close then
a point feature is defined for the 'marker' layer, if way out then
neither is drawn. In practice I use javascript to construct the 
URLs depending on scale. 

The application found at this URL also uses this way of doing
things.

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

View the source in Netscape to see the resulting URLs for the 
reference image or view in MSIE to see the Javascript.

Subject: compiling _without_ png
Message-ID: <sa8cf39a.058@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

You need to compile against the right version of GD. If there is a version of GD in
your system libs that supports GD (often the case on Linux installs) then the linker
will ALWAYS use that version. The only way I've gotten around it is to temporarily
move the system version, build MapServer against the distributed version of GD
and the move the system version back.

(Dan: perhaps we could rename things in the version of gd-1.2 so that it could
be asked for specifically with configure (that is use -lgd1.2 instead of -lgd. Ideas?)

Java 1.1 doesn't natively support PNG but there are 3rd party readers out there
that could be added to the applet. Of course that will make the download a bit
longer but shouldn't be too bad.

Subject: OGC / MapScript questions
Message-ID: <sa8d09b7.017@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

OGC compliance is coming, but first it will exist on the server level and then
perhaps at the client level. That is, initially MapServer will be able to act as
a compliant WMT server and will not be a WMT client.

That said you should be able to integrate other WMT server output into your
maps using MapScript. The basic algorithm would be:

  1) open map, set extents etc.
  2) step through layers, rendering each in turn, if the layer is to be retrieved
      elsewhere then nab the image, save it and alter the layer definition to use
      it. remember you can use gif/png in images without world files (TRANSFORM
      FALSE).
  3) write output image/page
  4) cleanup

MapScript is intended as a way to replace the MapServer CGI. It's possible to
rewrite the CGI version in perl or whatever. By the same token you can write
very custom applications that do things the generic CGI C implementation can't
do. You could also use the C library, but scripting seems to appeal to a larger
audience. There are ways to integrate MapScript apps with the CGI version
such as writing custom mapfiles or retrieving/creating custom data before 
passing a request to the CGI piece. That would save re-writing template 
processing functionality.

I've not seen the error you mention before. Try searching perl.com...

Hi,

I'v been working w/ MapServer to build a basic application.  Until now, I 
have not used any MapScript.

I would like to integrate layers called from OGC-type servers (eg. 
clearinghouse dcw data), to overlay onto my datasets.  I have a script to 
return an OGC-style response of data BBOX, and would like to glue this into 
mapserver.

I understand OGC compliance is forthcoming, but is this possible in 
MapScript in the interim?  Does anyone have any examples of this working?

I tried running the site example for MapScript on my web server:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use mapscript;

my $map = new mapObj('/www/htdocs/gis/mapserv/wmp/wmp-dev.map') or die 
"Unable to open mapfile: $!\n";
my $img = $map->draw() or die('Unable to draw map');
mapscript::msSaveImage($img, '/tmp/imgfile', $map->{interlace}, 
$map->{transparent});

and get the following error in my error_log:

Unable to open mapfile: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I'm running mapserver on a RedHat6.2 with Apache-1.3.14

Anyone had this type of issue?

How does one deal w/ MapScript?  Does it replace the mapserv binary as the 
driving application, calling everthing through there?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

..Tom

Subject: Passing lat/lon to URL
Message-ID: <sa8d1492.078@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

I'm not quite sure I see the problem. If I understand right, then you're using
the map for the user to identify a point correct? There are several ways to
deal with this. The easiest I think would be to create a second, really simple
map file that basically looks like:

MAP
  STATUS OFF # important, you don't want a map created
  UNITS meters # whatever matches the projection

  PROJECTION
    .. set your projection ...
  END

  WEB
    TEMPLATE "http://www.com/form?lat=[maplat]?lon=[maplon]"
  END
END

Then when the user clicks the "Select Location" button you switch mapfiles
to the above one. Then when the user clicks the process uses the simple
mapfile above which simply echos the click as lat/lon. You could also do it
with a query where you have a big simple shapefile that catches clicks any
where and has a similar template to the one above.

Hi

I think the work you are planning looks fantastic. I was just
wondering if there any plans afoot to support compressed
imagery such as MrSid or ErMapper's ECW format? I realise these are
proprietry formats and there may not be open specifications but it
can't hurt to ask can it?

We have a couple of largish datasets in .ecw format that ould be nice
to be able to 'serve up'.

There is also an interesting image compression project called fiasco
which _is_ open source and may be a good candidate for incorporation
into MapServer.

Frank (the person doing the GDAL addition) can comment further but I've done
checking one both those products and their APIs are limited to win32 platforms
which has turned me off to adding them in the past. Perhaps this has changed.

Also add jpeg2000 to the mix, C libraries are already available.

Tim, 

The GDAL library doesn't currently support ECW, but I have been intending
to add it in the future.  ERMapper does provide a free (as in no cost, but
without source) decompression library for use on some platforms.   In the
past MrSid has been much harder to deal with.

I looked into this briefly a few weeks ago, and found that compression was
extremely slow, and took more than my 128MB of ram for a 512x512 image. 
Decompression was faster, but I am not sure it is "web mapping" fast.  As
such, I am not sure how practical fiasco is.  BTW, do you have a current url
for this project?  My old one doesn't respond today.

What is the minimum necessary hardware requirement for implementing 
Mapserver on a Linux server running Apache, serving a 100 meg TIFF raster 
layer, on which a simple point event theme is projected (sourced via an ODBC 
connection to a Sybase database server)?  What is the hardware requirement 
to serve the same purpose under NT with IIS 4.0? The site won't experience 
truly heavy traffic, so it will probably rarely have more than 8 
simultaneous users.  Thanks for any info.

1) trying to get the 1st demo going but keep getting 
"msLoadMap(): Unknown identifier. (SHADESET):(6) "
error messages.  running nt4, iis4, using the PNG version
of mapServ (converted all the GIF graphics to PNG already).
simple calls to the mapServ (src="/Scripts/mapserv.exe?map=...")
seem to work fine.

2) is anyone working with coldfusion with mapServ? i would 
appreciate hearing any experiences, approaches taken,
dead ends, etc.

thanks.

hi there
i'm a newbie with MapServer. i've just finished to install it and the 'ms_demo'

Hi,

I'm trying to use tiled images with mapserver and I've seen some previous 
posts on this list that refer to tileindex.  I get the basic idea of what I 
need to do, but how can I create an index shape file for my images?

Thanks,

Subject: highlighting one polygon
Message-ID: <b8.11ff3724.27c11fb3@aol.com>

Using mapserver cgi, I need this feature and cannot determine how to 
implement:

I want to enable the user to type into a box on the screen the value (say 
Smith) of a field (say NAME) that is believed to exist in a dbf record 
corresponding to a shape file.  I then want the display to show that layer 
and have highlighted the polygon corresponding to the dbf record with some 
special color that I have set.  

Can anyone help me with a sample of what the code would appear like in the 
.map and .htm to enable this feature?  Thank you.

Hi Don and List,

since i also have to incorporate tiled image data, i was starting to write a
small Arcview avenue script that would create a mapserver tileindex shapefile
from an imgcat. I wanted to post it later on, when it's finished, but if anyone
wants the first draft, please contact me.

Alex,
maybe have a look at

case 3 or 4 should be like that what you're looking for.

Hi

I am trying to compile the 3.4 build. I am compiling with php4.02 support on
redhat 7.

./configure --with-gd --with-jpg --with-ttf --with-proj --with-apxs --with-p

During the configure process, I get the following:

I tried to find the file conftest.s1 (find / -name conftest.s1) but was

Can anyone help me out here?

As an aside, are their any compiled binaries for redhat 7 lurking around? I
checked the DMSolutions download area but the rpm's are not current.

I have had this same problem.  I believe the only options I was supplying was 
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-php=/usr/local/src/php-4.0.4pl1

Also running RH7

I have the *identical* problem.  I altered the line which open the mapfile 
to check for errors, ie:

my $map = new mapObj('/www/htdocs/gis/mapserv/wmp/wmp-dev.map') or die 
"Unable to open map file: $!\n";

and get:

Unable to open mapfile: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Subject: example of new symbolset file
Message-ID: <6D98540C0CD2D311808500E018C1EBFEF6CFE3@novant1>

I located DMSolutions symbols.sym file
(http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/gmap/symbols/symbols.sym). It still uses the
STYLED identifier;

Symbol
Type STYLED
Style
-1 6 6
 1 6 6
END
END 

When msworkbench is loading up, it chokes on 'STYLED'.

-code: 4
-routine: getSymbol()
-message: (STYLED):(94)

Line 94 is where STYLED is used in my symbols.sym file. I'm running 3.4. Any
suggestions?

Thanks!

Andrea,

I found the best thing to do was to use the symbols.sym file that comes
with the gmap example, provided by DMSolutions.  Takes the hassle of
trying to concatenate the three files together yourself.

Michael,

Thanks, I'd be interested in any way to automate the process.  I've never 
created an image catalog in ArcView, and the help documentation makes me 
think that it's pretty labor intensive.

I've started working on creating the shapefile using the Shape perl module, 
which is a worthwhile exercise for me.  But I can't help thinking there has 
to be an easier way.

I know others have done this, and I'd appreciate hearing their solutions 
too.  An example of a tileindex shapefile would be really helpful.

Thanks,

Don Silvia

To use PHP extensions on your OS, you will need to recompile
PHP.
You need to edit the Makefile in the php3 directory and add
-des-Doptimize=-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -Dcc=gcc -Dcccdlflags=-fPIC
-Dinstallprefix=/usr -Dprefix=/usr -Darchname=i386-linux -Dd_dosuid
-Dd_semctl_semun -Di_db -Di_ndbm -Di_gdbm -Di_shadow -Di_syslog -Dman3ext=3pm
-Uuselargefiles
-rdynamic to the start of the LDFLAGS line at the top
of the Makefile.  Then type: 'make clean; make'
You can still go ahead and build the extensions now by typing
'make' in this directory.  They just won't work correctly
until you recompile your PHP.
If you are compiling php as a module, you should also add
-des-Doptimize=-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -Dcc=gcc -Dcccdlflags=-fPIC
-Dinstallprefix=/usr -Dprefix=/usr -Darchname=i386-linux -Dd_dosuid
-Dd_semctl_semun -Di_db -Di_ndbm -Di_gdbm -Di_shadow -Di_syslog -Dman3ext=3pm
-Uuselargefiles
-rdynamic to the start of the EXTRA_LDFLAGS in Apache

build mechanism you should make this change in the
Configuration.tmpl file instead.

Hi, once more.

I had the same problem compiling php support.  I did a search on google
and found the following message, then followed the directions and it
eventually worked.  Other more adept linux users may already know this,
but I found out you also have to be logged in as root in order for
everything to work right as well.

We ending up doing this by taking the existing dbf file, converting it to
text, combining it in a new text file with the new data, then converting
the whole thing back into a dbf file, and it works with the original shape
file! All this was with a perl script and using an open source text to dbf
converter we found on the web
(http://www.usf.uni-osnabrueck.de/~fkoorman/software/dbftools.en.html)

This is a problem that has been reported several times but I was never
able to reproduce it before... I think I've fixed it this time... try
the following 'configure' script and see if it works:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/ms34_configure-RH7-20010219.tar.gz

(Note that the same fixed configure script is also committed as part of
the 3.5 source in CVS)

Right on the money. I hadn't considered using a different map. This works like a

Hi,
I have tested

is some problems with the use of POLYGON.
If you only use OUTLINECOLOR theres no problem but if you use COLOR or/and
any SYMBOL you have to wait a long time for the map to show up.

The support for vector file formats via OGR was experimental in version
3.4 and even though I never noticed this kind of performance issues it
may well have had some problems with some types of polygons.  This OGR
support is being completely rewritten for version 3.5 which should be
available in the next few weeks, so I suggest that you wait for version
3.5 and try it with your data, and if you still notice those issues then
please let us know.

BTW, which file format is your data in?  Can you verify that the
polygons are properly closed in your source data?

Tim,

Make sure the extension_dir directive in your php.ini is set to
"/usr/lib/apache" ... right now it's probably set to "." (the PHP
default).

If you don't have a php.ini, then use the php.ini-dist that came with
your PHP source and install it at the right location on your system. 
You can find the location where PHP looks for php.ini by looking at the
phpinfo() output.  You can also specify the location of php.ini yourself
at compile time using the --with-config-file-path=<DIR> PHP configure
option.

Subject: Question about creating transparent Layers
Message-ID: <3A9289EA.663109D5@atlas.gis.univie.ac.at>

Hi everybody!

I have a question if its possible to create transparent layers.
In my Project i have a backgroundimage like a Hillshading and some
different layers like National Parks which would look much better if
they would be transparent, so i can see some of the hillshading through.

I think this is not so a special problem because it should appear often
in cartographic applications, but i didnt found a solution in the .Map
File Dokumentation.

I hope to get some positiv Answers and that my request is possible.

Best Regards
Christian Fuerpasz

Hi,
we are currently using Mapinfo 6.0 and there's no problem with the
polygons. I have exported the files into shp-format. The shapefiles work
fine.
The problems with the Mapinfofiles in Mapserver is the filling of the
polygons.

That's an obscure error, really should never happen as the heights array is only
a few bytes in size. What version, platform, etc? How many layers are you using?

Dear Steve,

I, myself am having some difficulties with the color stuff in perl also.
I wish to create a custom legend, so I figured I need the color index to obtain 
the color object to obtain the RGB-values for that color.

Is this possible or is there a way around this ?

If not, can you give me some directives as to how to add a getColorByIndex sub 
in the Perl source ?

I have the *identical* problem.  I altered the line which open the mapfile 
to check for errors, ie:

my $map = new mapObj('/www/htdocs/gis/mapserv/wmp/wmp-dev.map') or die 
"Unable to open map file: $!\n";

and get:

Don;

There's a sample script which comes with ArcView (can be found in the help
files - Sample Scripts & Extensions > Sample Scripts > Views > Image Themes
> Creates image catalog from...) which will automatically build an image
catalogue from all the loaded images in a view.  Way faster and more
accurate than doing it manually.

Hmmmm I've thought of that myself.

Unfortunately right now MapServer isn't ported to CF, so there would be no
direct link between your ColdFusion code, and the MapServer engine.

There are a variety of tricks to make it happen though, such as using
CFHTTPGET to query a remote MapServer and seemlessly incorporate the
resulting gif into your CF page.  This very cool technique works with a lot
of languages too, and almost creates a form of "API", we use it to provide
MapServer served maps to clients who create the pages and content, and
simply embed our maps into their own pages.

Although a CFX version of MapServer would be very cool indeed :) Anybody ?

Subject: Compiling MS on Win32+SDE
Message-ID: <F2525W8OZYDsnla0Q4H0000d79f@hotmail.com>

This question was posted before without concrete answers:

I am trying to compile mapserver in my win32 pc with sde support without 
success.

Somewhere in the source, I find the need of this client libraries:

Include files: sdetype.h and sdeerno.h in
--------
$SDE_DIR/arcsde/coverages/include/sdetype.h
$SDE_DIR/include/sdetype.h
$SDE_DIR/sdetype.h
--------

Client libs: libsde30.a (sde 3.0) or libsde80.a (arcSDE 8) in
--------
$SDE_DIR/lib/libsde80.a
$SDE_DIR/libsde80.a
-------

I have the client cds for:
sde 3.0.2
sde 3.0.2.1
sde 3.0.2.2
arcsde 8.0 for Oracle 8i

Installing this clients I found this common structure:

sdeexe30(or ora8iexe)
|
|-------bin
|
|-------include
|         |-----sdeerno.h
|         |-----sdetype.h
|
|-------lib
|         |-----sde30.lib (or sde80.lib)

The questions...
Is sde30.lib (or sde80.lib)equivalent to libsde30.a (or libsde80.a) for 
compile?
Somebody in the list have compiled MS with SDE enabled for Win32?

Message-ID: <3A94B01F.110001FC@3wsi.com>

Hello All,

I've got ms_demo up and running on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.17 running
Apache 1.3.14 and php 4.0.4pl1.  The mapserver compiled without a
problem and I was able to build the php/mapscript module as well.  All
of the demos for php/mapscript work fine.

The next step was to try and get the gmap demo from dmsolutions to work.
Great software, btw.  When I first load gmap75.phtml, everything runs
fine, the images are created, and the applet loads.  However, as soon as
I click on anything, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Object expected as argument. in
/home/ii/mapserver/gmap/htdocs/gmap75.php3 on line 696

I have looked at the code and couldn't see anything obvious.  Has anyone
seen this before - searches of the mailing list haven't turned up
anything ...

thanks,

angus

Subject: Adding color access to mapscript
Message-ID: <sa94e774.056@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Ok, it's a kludge but should work. Untar the attached file someplace and move map.h
to the main source directory, mapscript.i to the mapscript directory and the other two
files to mapscript/perl. Then rebuild as normal. That should expose the palette to 
mapscript and add a method to get at colors. Usage is:

  $color = $map->getColor($i);
  print "Color is: ". $color->{red} ." ". $color->{green} ." ". $color->{blue} ."\n";
  print "Number of colors is: ". $map->{palette}->{numcolors} ."\n";

Note that the palette only contains colors as assigned to features. No raster color 
information is present.

Only use this code if you *really* need the functionallity.

Message-ID: <2951561DB3DDD0118FEC00805FFE980504942260@s5-ccr-r1>

David,

You CANNOT use MapServer with ColdFusion in the same way that you would with
PHP or Perl.

If you NEED to have a ColdFusion page with a mapserver tool, here is what I
suggest:

Setup a seperate mapserver (CGI Version) Somewhere. Create a mapfile and so
on to suit your needs.
Also, create a template that ONLY returns a fully qualified URL to the
temporary image.

THEN, from CF, all you have to do is use CFHTTPGET to send a query to the
mapserver, with all appropriate parameters.  MapServer will generate the
map, and return the world accessible URL to reach it.  You can then use this
URL to embed it into your HTML output, and the webbrowser will fetch the map
from the said server (Could be the same box, or half way accross the world).

Using the flexibility of the CGI parameters and the really great system that
allows you to set almost any mapfile parameter from the URL, you can do
pretty much anything remotely, assuming the data you want is available on
the said server of course.

This basically turns MapServer into a OGC WMT like server, only with a
completely non-standard Web API :) (Which is actually much more powerfull
than the WMT in many ways).

You can achieve this functionality with any server side scripting language
that can do HTTP GET's, such as Perl, PHP, ASP, ColdFusion, and probably
more.

I'm sending this to the list, they might find this handy as well.

Looks like paul at tei.or.th is looking into a MapServer for CF using WDDX ?.
This stuff is a bit over my head, but it would definitely be very cool, and
make it (MapServer) even more accessible to the masses.

Cheers,
J.F.

I am retreiving a set of points from a database, and am drawing 
them onto the image object of a map via a layer that is projected 
from lat/long to WGS84 coordinates.

This is easy going, my problem occurs when I want to collect a 
pair of coordinates from the map, perform an inverse projection 
of them and use them to query the database...

Is this possible or should I try some alternate approach...

What do you have on line 696?  Is it a call to $gpoMap->SetExtent()?

The error means that the $gpoMap PHP object is corrupted or has been
flushed somehow by the PHP engine... I never saw this before... it could
be related to new variables management features (like reference
counting) added recently in PHP4... but I'm surprised because I know
that the module has been used without problems by others using
PHP4.0.4pl1.  

I'll keep a note about that bug and will try to have a look as soon as I
can (not sure when though!).

BTW, the following info could probably help in reproducing the problem:
- Do you use the default php.ini-dist settings or did you edit php.ini?
- Is PHP4's thread-safe and/or debug enabled?  (See phpinfo() output)
- What are your PHP configure options?

Hi There,

 I am assuming here that you use php/mapscript.

 There is a php/proj module available in the mapserver distribution (.../mapserver/mapscript/php3/php_proj.c).  This module give access to basic Proj4 fonctionalities. So in
your case you colud use the functions to convert the Georeferenced coordinated to Lat/Long coordinates.

Are you building mapserver/mapscrtipt yourself or do you download the binary versions ? Which platform are you on ? I am asking this so I could post the binary versions on our
download site.

Later,


PS :

Here is a little bit of docs on how to use it :

   /*
 *         PHP PROJ4 Module
 *
 *  This is a PHP module that gives acces to basic PROJ4 projection
 *  functionalities.
 *
 * There are four functions available in this module :
 *
 * 1) pj_init : create and initializes a projection structures
 *
 *    PJ pj_init(array_of_parameters)
 *
 *    Example : $projarray[0] = "proj=lcc";
 *              $projarray[1] = "ellps=GRS80";
 *              $projarray[2] = "lat_0=49";
 *              $projarray[3] = "lon_0=-95";
 *              $projarray[4] = "lat_1=49";
 *              $projarray[5] = "lat_2=77";
 *
 *              $pj = pj_init($projarray);
 *
 * 2) pj_fwd : Performs a projection from lat/long coordinates to
 *             cartesian coordinates.
 *
 * retrun_array pj_fwd(double lat, double long, PJ pj)
 *
 *   Example :  $lat = 45.25;
 *              $long = -75.42;
 *
 *              $ret = pj_fwd($ingeox, $ingeoy, $pj);
 *              printf("geo x = %f<br>\n", $ret["u"]);
 *              printf("geo y = %f<br>\n",$ret["v"]);
 *
 * 3) pj_inv : Performs a projection from cartesian coordinates to
 *             lat/long  coordinates .
 *
 * retrun_array pj_fwd(double geox, double geoy, PJ pj)
 *
 *   Example :  $ingeox = 1537490.335842;
 *              $ingeoy = -181633.471555;
 *
 *              $ret = pj_inv($ingeox, $ingeoy, $pj);
 *              printf("lat = %f<br>\n", $ret["u"]);
 *              printf("lon = %f<br>\n",$ret["v"]);
 *
 * 4) pj_free : frees PJ structure
 *
 *  void pj_free(PJ pj);

Subject: german website using mapserver
Message-ID: <m31ysqr0bw.fsf@neptun.lrrl.arch.tu-muenchen.de>

Hello list,

our german website DREAM - http://dream.lrrl.arch.tu-muenchen.de is
online. DREAM is the short form for "Digitaler REgionalAtlas M?nchen"
and the site offers environmental and planning information for the
city and region of Munich/Bavaria.  It uses the mapserver for at the
moment 10 maps, but the next 70 are already "work in progress" - as
DREAM is going to provide the map service for the department of
environment and health of the city of munich.

DREAM is hosted by the "Lehrstuhl fuer Raumforschung, Raumordnung und
Landesplanung" of the technical university of munich and is developed
in cooperation with the department of environment and health.

The textual documents in DREAM are written in XML and served with
AxKit (http://axkit.org), a XML Application Server written in PERL and
running under apache.

Mapserver was the topic of a speech my colleague Andreas Fritzsche held
at CORP 2001 in Vienna. You can find the german document at 
http://dream.lrrl.arch.tu-muenchen.de/a_katalog/info/corp2001/corp01.xml?portal=cap2000 
we hope to have an english version soon.

I want to thank everybody on this list who helped me with my questions,
but especially Steve for this really fine piece of software!

Markus

Yeah I have been able to compile mapserver with SDE support in win32 but
there are other problems after you have the program compiled and running.
When you try and use a normal shapefile the compiled program works fine but
as soon as you try and use the SDE support you get the following error:

The instruction at "0x00423d96" reference memory at "0x00000004". The memory
could not be "read"

I currently have Stephen Lime who is working for University of Minnesota to
look into this problem, if you would like more information drop stephen a
line on steve.lime at dnr.state.mn.us


So here is where I stand, yes I can get it to compile and run on win32 but
when you use the SDE support a memory error is produced.

Sorry but that is where it is at the moment.

This question was posted before without concrete answers:

I am trying to compile mapserver in my win32 pc with sde support without 
success.

Somewhere in the source, I find the need of this client libraries:

Include files: sdetype.h and sdeerno.h in
--------
$SDE_DIR/arcsde/coverages/include/sdetype.h
$SDE_DIR/include/sdetype.h
$SDE_DIR/sdetype.h

Client libs: libsde30.a (sde 3.0) or libsde80.a (arcSDE 8) in
--------
$SDE_DIR/lib/libsde80.a
$SDE_DIR/libsde80.a
-------

I have the client cds for:
sde 3.0.2
sde 3.0.2.1
sde 3.0.2.2
arcsde 8.0 for Oracle 8i

Installing this clients I found this common structure:

The questions...
Is sde30.lib (or sde80.lib)equivalent to libsde30.a (or libsde80.a) for 
compile?
Somebody in the list have compiled MS with SDE enabled for Win32?

I tried changing the path to gmap75.map, no effect.  The really strange
thing is that it works the first time it is called in the browser, but
then stops working after that.  very wierd.

Thanks.  This is a good opportunity for me to learn the code, which I'll
have to do anyway.  I was just hoping that someone had seen this before
and there was a quick fix.

php.ini is the same as php.ini-dist except that the setting for
extension_dir has changed.

yeah if i can find a couple of c kids w/the time & interest. we're using
WDDX between apps/sites with some success & little effort so it
seems a natural place to start. if anyone can see any gotchas,
deadends, etc. we'd appreciate hearing about them.

FYI, 

I have added the following code to GMap75CheckClick() function
-
$foo = get_declared_classes();
for($i=0;$i<count($foo);$i++)
{
        echo $foo[$i]."<br>\n";
}
-

This gives me the following list of classes:
-
   stdClass
   OverloadedTestClass
   Directory
   map
   img
   rect
   color
   web
   reference
   layer
   label
   class
   queryresult
   query
   point
   line
   shape
   shapefile
-

which is then followed by the same error as before.  does that help?

maybe i'll have to recompile.  the strange thing is, it works on the
first call to gmap75.phtml - why would it work the first time and not on
any following times?

Subject: Problems with Symbol files and php_mapscript.dll for PHP4
Message-ID: <3A966820.41C37C71@web.de>

Dear all,

I was using php3 and php3_mapscript.dll.

Now I am trying to use php4 and the php_mapscript.dll (for php4 from
20010109)
and run into errors regarding the symbol files.

Script and mapfile are identical and leaving out the symbol file
definition
all works fine (without symbols...).

Similar experiences or any ideas?

Thanks,

Stefan

Subject: Multiple Shape Paths
Message-ID: <200102230818.CAA12002@walleye.GoneFishing.sk.ca>

Hi,
I have the MapServer running on my UDB (aka Multia) with Debian 2.2
Considering that this is roughly equivalent to a P90, I'm impressed
with response times. I'm also impressed that Mapserver actually runs on
a 64-bit CPU.

I have 2 applications running that share a common base, so I was
thinking it would be nice if SHAPEPATH was able to list alternate
search directories for shape files. The code changes to do this seem
pretty trivial.

Here's the patch to mapshape.c to make it work:

----------------------------
int msOpenSHPFile(shapefileObj *shpfile, char *path, char *tile, char *filename)
{
  char *dbfFilename;
  char newpath[BUFSIZ], *bp;
  char old_path[MS_PATH_LENGTH];

  getcwd(old_path, MS_PATH_LENGTH); /* save old working directory */

  /* make local copy of path for parsing */
  bzero(newpath,BUFSIZ);
  if(path) strcpy(newpath,path);
  if(tile) strcpy(newpath,tile);
  if(newpath[0] == '\0')
    return(-1);               /* both path names are NULL */

  /* break path into alternates */
  bp = strtok(newpath,": ;");
  while(bp != NULL)
  {
    chdir(bp);

    /* ---- open the shapefile file and get basic info ---- */
    if((shpfile->hSHP = SHPOpen(filename, "rb" )) != NULL)
      break;    /* found it */
    chdir(old_path);           /* restart at old path */
    bp = strtok(NULL,":");
    };

  if((!shpfile->hSHP) || (bp == NULL)) { 
    msSetError(MS_IOERR, NULL, "msOpenSHPFile()");
    sprintf(ms_error.message, "(%s)", filename);
    chdir(old_path);
    return(-1);
  }
--------------------------------  END OF patch

You can check that this works at:
 <http://www.gonefishing.sk.ca/geograph/welcome.html>
The "geograph" data is under this directory,
   <http://www.gonefishing.sk.ca/geograph/data/>
but the base is elsewhere.

   Hi, ppl

   The manual says that the first labels declared have
priority when caching is on, but that's not happening
in my application. When I turn on another layar wich
is declared *after* the "cities" layer, the names in
it (the "cities" layer, declared first) are not
getting drawn. Did anybody have this problem?
   ...And since we are talking about the priorities on
the map file, shouldn't the labels enter in the cache
on the reverse order?? Because, since the last layer
to be declared stay on top, their labels should be the
most important in the cache.

Labels are placed into the cache as layers are processed- they have to be, and then the
cache is processed in reverse order so that features in the last layer drawn (i.e. the top layer) 
are labeled first. I've not had problems with it.

Probably a parsing error in the mapfile. Use the shp2img utility to test the
mapfile syntax and see what's wrong. There are error strings exported for
mapscript but I can't remember the syntax at the moment.

The os error ($!) probably could be set elsewhere in the process of loading
the mapfile (eg. opening a symbol or font file) and doesn't necessarily mean
that it can't open the mapfile itself.

Message-ID: <3A96FB1D.6F98ABB9@northcoast.com>

greetings all,

i have been using your various mapserver pages to help myself learn
about mapserver and its capabilities. this also helps me when i am
troubleshooting (i can see how others solved the same problems)

i have an idea that may help others (as well as me). if people could
post their .map files (as well as other files, like javascript files fro
example), we could view these.

the site i am working on (it will be officially online soon, "that darn
metadata"), will hopefully have a mapserver "technical" page that shoudl
have .map files posted there.

anyhow, just an idea that may encourage the growth of this fine
application.

thanks for all your help, jay

2 things have changed with respect to symbols between MapServer version
3.3.011 and version 3.4:

1- SHADESET, MARKERSET and LINESET have been replaced by a single
SYMBOLSET parameter in the map files.

2- "STYLED" symbols are gone.

You can combine your shade, marker and line symbol files into one single
file after taking out the words SHADESET, etc and the final END from
each file.  You'll also have to remove all the STYLED symbols since
they're not supported any more.

If you don't want to go through all that, I've also placed a copy of the
symbols.sym that we use with the latest GMap demo at
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/symbols-for-ms34.sym

Other than figuring out how to install those classes

mac to test with unfourtunately. Incompatatability
with Mac and live connect (i.e. java => javascript) has
always been an issue.

I do have another non-java box drawing option that I'll

   I know there are other solutions for this kind of

Subject: Mapscript - java - Rosa applet question
In-Reply-To: <sa282235.078@smtp.dnr.state.mn.us>
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0102251421580.20243-100000@tantalos.perseus.tufts.edu>


I was wondering if any users had implemented DM Soulution's Rosa java
applet with Mapserver/Mapscript.

I've incorporated the applet with my mapscript project and it works great
on Netscape, but I'm running into some funky errors with IE (specifically
5.5 -- haven't gone back to 4.0 yet).  The applet loads just fine in IE
but after a user tries to pan zoom in, zoom out, draw a rectangle, etc
(all operations that should automatically submit the form data back
to the server), no joy.  This works with Netscape so I'm wondering if
there's some LiveConnect issue in IE.

I can supply a URL is anyone is interested.

I receive the following errors from the IE Java Console:

Exception occurred during event dispatching: 
com.ms.com.ComFailException:
(0x80020006) Unknown name.
	at com/ms/com/Dispatch.NInvokeReal

And in my apache error log I read: 

[error]File does not 
exist: /web/docs/rosa/applet/Rosa2000BeanInfo.class 

[error] File does not
exist: /web/docs/rosa/applet/Rosa2000$COMClassObject.class

IE seems to be expecting a BeanInfo.class file in the rosa.jar file, and
the COMClassObject.class error suggests IE doesn't recognize LiveConnect
for some reason (although LiveConect is supposed to be suported).

A contributing factor might be that I'm using mapscript and Perl to
generate the HTML code that's sent to the user's browser -- which
means there's no physical HTML file in the server's web directory, and
which may screw up IE somehow.  I'm still working through this issue
though. 

I've used the rosa applet 'out-of-the-box' and recompiled it under
different SDK's (1.2, 1.3), but I get the same error every time.

Has anyone run into these problems with Rosa and IE? Any suggestions would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Any serious number of real world applications will require some form of
distributed spatial data infrastructure - the cost and practicality of
maintaining copies of every base data set gets out of hand, and if your
application needs remotely up-to-date data, a local copy probably means you
have a huge ongoing data management budget to arrange.

A distributed infrastructure requires interoperability standards (cf the
OpenGIS web services model)  and a three-tier architecture. SVG/Flash/Any
other vector format viewers need to be fed with the small piece of data that
matches the problem.
Current client side vector technologies are either demos that load a static
file or proprietary streaming solutions that talk only to a particular
serving technology.

The OpenGIS Web Feature Server specification will provide a baseline -
however middleware is probably required to handle negotiations with respect
to which server has the features, which style to apply, and how access to
the shared resource is going to be granted.

Mapserver provides a great service provision platform, and the interface
tools allow quite nice applications to be built around private data
holdings, but institutional players should realise that these are but two
parts of the problem and should be decoupled in the planning process - which
the mapserver technology neatly supports.

Yeah I have been able to compile mapserver with SDE support in win32 but
there are other problems after you have the program compiled and running.
When you try and use a normal shapefile the compiled program works fine but
as soon as you try and use the SDE support you get the following error:

The instruction at "0x00423d96" reference memory at "0x00000004". The memory
could not be "read"

I currently have Stephen Lime who is working for University of Minnesota to
look into this problem, if you would like more information drop stephen a
line on steve.lime at dnr.state.mn.us 


So here is where I stand, yes I can get it to compile and run on win32 but
when you use the SDE support a memory error is produced.

Sorry but that is where it is at the moment.

Subject: Compiling MS on Win32+SDE


This question was posted before without concrete answers:

I am trying to compile mapserver in my win32 pc with sde support without 
success.

Somewhere in the source, I find the need of this client libraries:

Include files: sdetype.h and sdeerno.h in
--------
$SDE_DIR/arcsde/coverages/include/sdetype.h
$SDE_DIR/include/sdetype.h
$SDE_DIR/sdetype.h
--------

Client libs: libsde30.a (sde 3.0) or libsde80.a (arcSDE 8) in
--------
$SDE_DIR/lib/libsde80.a
$SDE_DIR/libsde80.a
-------

I have the client cds for:
sde 3.0.2
sde 3.0.2.1
sde 3.0.2.2
arcsde 8.0 for Oracle 8i

Installing this clients I found this common structure:

sdeexe30(or ora8iexe)
|
|-------bin
|
|-------include
|         |-----sdeerno.h
|         |-----sdetype.h
|
|-------lib
|         |-----sde30.lib (or sde80.lib)

The questions...
Is sde30.lib (or sde80.lib)equivalent to libsde30.a (or libsde80.a) for 
compile?
Somebody in the list have compiled MS with SDE enabled for Win32?

It seems you are using LiveConnect (connection between JAVA
and JavaScript), which obviously is not installed on the computer
of your user. (the class netscape.javascript.JSObject is missing)
You could give to this user your classfile, your browser is using.

In the documentation for MapScript there is mentioned also the possibility 
using Java as MapScript language. Is there anybody who did succeed using 
Java-MapScript for an application?

I tried using SWIG 1.3.a3 producing the MapScript Java files. Running SWIG 
(both on Linux and NT) I got some messages like
....
ignoring enum constant: MS_FILE_MAP
ignoring enum constant: MS_FILE_SYMBOL
ignoring enum co....
.....

I didn't go on trying to compile mapserver because I didn't know if 
something essential would be missing then. Also I had no clue how to tell 
the compiler to include Java. Something like '--with-Java=...'? What is it 
producing then, a library file?

Thanks for any help

Joseph,

Defining symbols is completely independent from the PHP MapScript module
itself, I'm aware of changes to the symbol stuff in version 3.4 but
never played much with symbols myself.   

I'll forward your questions to the mapserver-users list where hopefully
someone can help you.

Subject: Reading shape files from shared resources
Message-ID: <F113fDEvEXXqdEXuztk00011ccb@hotmail.com>

There are some experiences reading shape files using the microsoft shared 
resources style:

DATA "\\MYSERVER\path\to\shape\file"

I get success reading shapes in this form with WinNT4/Apache, but 
unsuccessful with Win2k/Apache.
Maybe permissions settings?

Some suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi,
    I am trying to use symbols and can't seem to figure it out.  
I am trying to implement a dashed line for a city border and 
something that resembles railroad tracks.
I know the Symbol sets have replaced with a single symbol file.  
It seems that the new symbol file only handles points and not 
lines.  If I choose a symbol and change my Layer to a Point type, 
I get the symbol whereever the points are.  If I change the Layer 
to a Line type, it just "smears" the symbol.  
Is there anyway to generate a Lineset?  It looks like v3.4 has 
removed all of the LineSet functions.


Thanks

Joseph Archibald

Check out the Lava/Magma setup at:

http://www.pgs.nl

Although their demos are of smaller areas, my prior work at the USGS
involved integrating that system with with some very detailed databases.
Our client ended up being relatively thick, but usable on a wide variety of
platforms assuming they had enough memory (~128 Mb of ram) to render large
vector datasets.  We attempted to implement a variety of methods for
optimizing data transfer:  Server-side attributes, scale dependent layers,
on-the-fly clipping and generalization.  You can look at that example at:

http://geode.usgs.gov

There are some real advantages to sending the vector data to the client.
However, the utlimate question remains.... How thick do you want to your
clients to be?  The computer industry has sea-sawed on this issue for
years.  Big mainframes--dumb terminals  to the personal computer revolution
and now the trend is back to thinner clients on portable systems.  It is all
a processing/memory game.  If your clients have lots of processing power,
its more efficient to take advantage of it.  If not, your stuck processing
everything on the server and sending back a static picture (something
mapserver seems to be very good at).

There have been standards for transfering data between remote databases long
before OpenGIS came along. One is called ODBC.  All you need is a Java
client and a JDBC-ODBC bridge and you have connectivity to a wide variety of
mainstream databases which is where GIS data is being stuffed these days
anyway.  No waiting of GML or other industry specific standards that are
probably less efficient anyway.  The real issue that the OGC will sort out
is data discovery not transfering the data itself.

Bottom line... Vector based webmapping already exists.  It provides some
neat functionality for high end clients.  If you want to reach a broader
audience, image producing servers such as mapserver are probably the way to
go.

Subject: OGC / MapScript questions
Message-ID: <F95xbDDCe5mpHnoh8e30000a49c@hotmail.com>

Stephen,

Thanks for the information.

I've gotten MapScript to work on my box, seems it was the mapfile.

If I have a simple mapfile:

NAME CAN
EXTENT -99 50 -73 55 # ONTARIO
UNITS DD

SHAPEPATH "/home/gis/data/wmp/"

SIZE 500 300

LAYER
NAME TEMP
TYPE RASTER
STATUS DEFAULT
DATA TEMP.gif
TRANSFORM FALSE
END

LAYER
NAME prov_terr_outline
TYPE POLYLINE
STATUS DEFAULT
DATA prov_terr
CLASS
  COLOR 0 0 0
  OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
END
END  # LAYER

END  # MAPFILE

...and my mapscript.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use LWP::Simple
my $content = 
get("http://naboo/cgi-bin/mapserv/ms-ogc.pl?request=map&layers=elevation,roads,lakes,rivers,boundary
,cities&BBOX=-99,50,-73,55&WIDTH=500&HEIGHT=300");
  my $file = "/www/htdocs/gis/mapserv/mapscript/test.map";
  my $map = new mapObj("$file") or die "Unable to open mapfile: $!\n";

  my $layer = $map->getLayerByName('TEMP');

  $layer->{data} = $content;

  my $img = $map->prepareImage() or die('Unable to draw map $!');

  $map->draw();
  $layer->draw($map, $img); # draw basemap

  setOutput();
  mapscript::msSaveImage($img, undef , $map->{interlace}, 
$map->{transparent});
#  print STDOUT $content;

I get nothing.  I'm getting the ms-ogc layer via LWP.  setOutput() prints 
out the content type (image/gif), etc.  The $content data is there, I can 
view it if I simply print it out to display.  How can I add this to my map?  
I put a dummy TEMP layer for the OGC layer.  Can I dynamically add layers 
instead (how?)?

Thanks

..Tom

Guess I need to do some reading. WDDX is a data transfer/sharing standard
correct? That would still require another program to share data from if I understand
things (which I may not). While that might solve some problems, isn't a tighter
integration more desirable? How extensible is ColdFusion's scripting language?
You'd definitely want to pattern things after the main MapScript or MapScript/PHP
implementations.

I'll read more and if I think of anything else I'll certainly pass it along...

yeah if i can find a couple of c kids w/the time & interest. we're using
WDDX between apps/sites with some success & little effort so it
seems a natural place to start. if anyone can see any gotchas,
deadends, etc. we'd appreciate hearing about them.

Subject: OGC mapplet integration
Message-ID: <F254tGjsabkgZLOSTth00005c5f@hotmail.com>

Hi,

I'd like to use mapplet.java to set a background image representing an 
OGC-style requested image.

Additions to HTML:

<PARAM NAME="OGC_Layer" VALUE="whatever">

..this value (coordinates, layers) will be built during the CGI rendering of 
the application.

..then, in the applet, pick up the OGC image as per the MapServer returned 
image, and set it as the background:

s = getParameter("OGC_Layer");
try {
  OGCurl = new URL(s);
} catch(MalformedURLException e) {
    window.eval("mapplet_error('Applet error. Malformed OGC image URL.');");
    this.stop();
}
OGCimg = getImage(OGCurl);

..I'm not a Java person; can anyone suggest where and how to implement the 
setBackground(OGCimg) function in the applet?

Thanks

..Tom

With OGR/TAB support that was in version 3.4, text objects were returned
as simple points and the text string was lost.

I am currently improving OGR/TAB support for version 3.5, and carrying
text labels is one those few things that is giving me trouble... but
some level of support for the TAB text labels will be in the next
version for sure.

well the "other" program would be a coldfusion app. we use
WDDX extensively in app to app communication (site to site,
cf to cf, cf to js, cf to VB/ODE, cf to the girl-next-door). i got
most of the CGI-cf working this weekend (including simple
identifies) but the URL limitations are going to bite eventually.
unless i'm missing something WDDX is one way around it.
the arcIMS cf connector is just a CFX tag (C++) that spews
XML at the mapserver.

cf is quite extensible either using itself, c++ or java. my knee
jerk reaction to cf communicating with "strange" apps is WDDX.
so embedding WDDX serializing/deserializing just seemed the
way to go. though we'll be definitely looking at mapscript as well.

yes please, any info/ideas you have are most welcome.

Jamie,

Yes, all that you describe is possible with mapserver and javascript..

But you may find it is not a trivial exercise - depending upon your level of
expertise.

As you already mentioned, having someone do the work for you may be an option
but it will obviously have a cost..

You have nothing to lose (except time) by trying to do it yourself. There are
plenty of experienced mapserver users who can answer specific questions (as long
as you've read the documentation first and ideally searched the mailing list
archive!!).

On the other hand, a direct request to this list for interested parties to
contact you may allow you to determine the cost of outsourcing such a project
and might ultimately provide a quicker solutiuon for you.

Good luck.

Subject: Problems with empty/error templates and symbols
Message-ID: <3A9BA18F.16168B04@webgis.de>

Dear List,

I am having some problems with a new mapserver-website. Perhaps anyone
who has experienced
similar behaviour of mapserv could help.

FYI: The website is hosted on a remote ISP, so i have not been able to
compile mapserv under this particular environment, i have rather tried
to simulate the environment on one of our local machines and then copied
the mapserv-cgi to our remote /cgi-bin. Anyway, mapserv responds and
works well. It is ms34 with tif, jpeg, gd12, ttf, eppl7 support
compilation.

One problem is that mapserv does not use the ERROR template in the
mapfile. But it does use the EMPTY template. So one time the
webserver/mapserver displays the empty template and one time it displays
a "500 Internal Server Error". It is the same template and has the same
definition.

Another thing: I classified a polygon shape layer in several classes and
used the shade symbols with transparent horizontal/vertical stripes
(from the demo symbol file, but in the new symbolset form). When
activating this layer mapserv kept crashing (http 500 Error). The
request to mapserv to generate this particular map does not appear in
the log file! After I switched to another symbol (transparent #)
everything worked. !?

Could both problems be related to the remote ISP environment? But why
would other things work without problems? Hmm, any suggestions?
If I have the permission of our client i will post the URL.

BTW, is the sym2img utility still in use and working with the new
symbolset file?

Cheers, Michael

Displaying a tiled dataset works on our mapserv3.3 installation, as does reprojection of untiled datasets.

However, reprojection of tiled dataset does not work.... configuration error or not yet supported ?

Message-ID: <F2653kMUVfNIJWNDIT60001367d@hotmail.com>

Yes. I can help this effort testing MS with Apache/IIS4 WinNT4/Win2k/Win98 
Sde3.0.2,3.0.2.1,3.0.2.2/arcSDE7.2,8.0 and all their possible combinations.

Additionally, you sent me past days the egon's compilation for SDE. I test 
it with this results:

1. Egon compiled MS with ArcSDE 8.1 libraries. I have ArcSDE 8.0 .So, I move 
this files to my cgi folder :pe80.dll, sde80.dll (renamed as sde81.dll), 
sg80.dll. This files are required by MS when trying to run it form DOS 
command line.
Effect of rename sde80.dll to sde81.dll is unknown.

2. Connection are established . Using the correct connection 
parameters(cd,esri_sde,oracle,ciu_admin,ciu_admin), I found this error :

msDrawSDELayer(): SDE error. SE_layer_get_info(): 0?&#8218;. (-20)

When change the password, the error becomes to:

msDrawSDELayer(): SDE error. SE_connection_create(): ?&#8218;. (-9)

3. I used one minimized map file to reduce other errors. I ask egon for 
other funcionality parameters activated when compiled MS, because get some 
errors of GD library with scalebar and labels. Probably because I'am using 
png images to build the labels.

I hope this information will be useful.!

Bye.

Hi,

I am new to MapServer and would like some help in getting my project to work
with MapInfo TAB files.

I have installed the necessary files to get the demo working, but I don't
know what specific changes are necessary for viewing TAB files.

Any help is appreciated.

Should be a map units problem. Have a look if you've set the map units right
in your map file header and scalebar definitions. I remember having had the
same problem once.

Wayne,

The main difference between regular shapefiles access and access to TAB
files via OGR is in the way you specify the path to your data file in
your layer.

For Shapefiles, you would have:

  SHAPEPATH "./data/"
  LAYER
    ...
    DATA  myshapefile
    ...
  END

To access the same file with OGR you would use:
(OGR connections do support shapefiles as well)

  # SHAPEPATH is ignored by OGR connections
  LAYER
    ...
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION  "./data/myshapefile.shp"
    ...
  END

To access a TAB file, just specify the path of a TAB file in the
CONNECTION parameter.

Note that in version 3.4, OGR support was limited to classified maps,
and queries were not supported.  Full support is being added for version
3.5.

I'm using shape files converted from mapinfo MIF

that the mifshape program is converting the MIFs

Subject: Lurker strikes! Example sites?
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.10.10102282045160.11592-100000@tincan.org>

I've just got the go ahead to build an demonstration application using
MapServer.  Not the next hardest part is building it.  I've been lurking
on this list (I don't remember making a fool of myself here anyway) for
several months hoping to absorb some knowledge.  The truth now comes out
you got to try it to learn how to do it.  But since this is a pretty
simple first project I was hoping someone might have a very similar
application already and would be willing to share their files.

The project is to provide online maps (go figure) of public internet
access locations for Spokane County, Washington, USA.  We'll add mass
transit (bus stops) information so those needing access can get their
without owning a motor vehicle.

If I understand correctly how MapServer works I can use ArcInfo shape
files for the base map; streets etc.  Then I need other shape files to be
used as layers (or can they be in the main file) to hold the access
locations and bus stops.
   I'm also a little fuzzy on whether I have to have the same area - the
county - in many different files of if MapServer can use one file and zoom
in to portions of it.  E.g. a map of the United States and zoom to a state
(perhaps showing the location of the state capital) or 49 files one of the
US and one for each of the states.

Enough rambling.  If this makes sense and/or anyone has the time to reply
it will be appreciated.  For now I off to read the docs and get MapServer
install and configured.


TIA,
Rod
