From mapserver at mail.remote.org Sat Sep 1 04:10:35 2001 From: mapserver at mail.remote.org (Frederik Ramm) Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2001 13:10:35 +0200 Subject: [mapserver-users] Projection Problem Message-ID: <20010901131035.A32281@aruba.remote.org> Hi, I'm using Map Server v4.3 with PROJ support compiled in. I have a few shape files with European cities, rivers, and borders, downloaded from ESRI. I'm using the shp2img utility for testing. The data is in lat/long format. When not using a specific projection (i.e. no PROJECTION sections in my map file), I have to use EXTENT 5 47 17 58 to get a decent view of Germany & surrounding countries. There's a layer called "citynames", defined as follows (more or less copied from the demo application), which displays the city names just about right: LAYER NAME citynames TYPE ANNOTATION DATA awscitie STATUS ON LABELITEM "city_name" CLASSITEM "city_name" LABELMAXSCALE 500000 CLASS EXPRESSION /./ COLOR -1 -1 -1 LABEL COLOR 0 0 0 SHADOWCOLOR 218 218 218 SHADOWSIZE 2 2 TYPE BITMAP SIZE MEDIUM POSITION CC PARTIALS FALSE BUFFER 2 END END END After that success, I started using a projection. I inserted PROJECTION geographic END with all my layers, and PROJECTION "proj=tmerc" "ellps=WGS84" "lat_0=50" END in the MAP section and changed the extent to EXTENT 380246.45 -321450.90 998622.55 1017529.68 Now the streams, coastlines, and borders get displayed fine in the new projection, but the city labels do not show up any more. If I single out the "citynames" layer for display, I get a map of names only with the non-projection map file, and an empty image when I try to use the projection. Does anybody know why? The sample images I generated, the map files I was using, and the shapefiles are available here: http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/msproj.tgz (roughly 1 MB).

Message-ID: <003101c1344c$5184a190$120ba8c0@manchitra.co.in> Hi All. Does anybody have any idea as to how to use some Arabic font in mapserver. i did the usual stuff, like defining an alias for the font in a "fonts.list" file and using the alias name as the font for a particular layer to write some text on labels. but i get some garbage which i am unable to decipher. one thing which surprised me was the fact that no error code was returned throughout the code when i debugged it. however the desirable output was not produced. has anyone dealt with any arabic TTF before with mapserver? do we need to do something special for supporting arabic TTFs? i was able to display some kanji text. as far as i know, arabic must be supported by Unicode TTF. any ideas? i am using version 3.4 of mapserver along with the associated default libraries of GD, FreeType etc provided in the download. do i need to get the latest versions of the FreeType library and mapserver, to be able to support arabic fonts? thanks in advance. -ashish -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(i.e. no expression means catch all) This is not a bug... it's the way it should work... MapServer stops at the first class that matches a given feature and for this reason the catch all class should always be last if you have one. So in your case since you seem to want both classes to catch all features then the solution to the problem is what you did: merge them into a single class.

I have a PNG map of Europe, generated from GTOPO30 elevation data. I created it using the free "drawmap" utility; the file is 1920x2540 pixels in size and depicts the area from (30N,10W) to (70N,20E). As far as I understand, drawmap doesn't really use a proper projection, it just stretches the grid to match whatever coordinates and pixel sizes I specify. How can I use this PNG bitmap as a raster background for my MapServer maps? I have read the relevant documentation and got "something" to show up but I am at a loss how to create a proper world file for the data I have. The docs say: "The world file contents look like the following. The first coefficient is the X pixel size. The second and third are rotational coefficients (and should normally be NULL). The fourth is the Y pixel size, normally negative indicating that Y decreases as you move down from the top left origin. The final two values are the X and Y location of the center of the top left pixel." This seems to imply that I need a bitmap in which the pixel size (in meters) is constant - something which cannot be said of my map! If this is too difficult, then is there some other way to use GTOPO30 data with MapServer (besides creating raster files with drawmap and taking it from there)?

With boxon() there generally nothing else painted so there's no need repaint. I really don't think repaint is the source of the loop since all painting does is draw a box or crosshair and the map and never triggers calls back to javascript. There is some thread related code in there that does end up communicating back to the browser and that's the problem. (the threading code is there to deal with issues related to browser response while waiting for the applet to do something, long story) The error is most likely in the implementation of the mapplet_apply() method in javascript. The redraw patameter is there for just this circumstance. It signifies whether the call to mapplet_apply is worthy of action by the browser, either a form submission or a call to the applet swap method. Simply wrap your code in something like this: function mapplet_apply(...) { if(redraw) { ... your code here ... } } and you shouldn't have any problems. I know this seems a tad convoluted but there are good reasons for the redraw parameter. With boxoff you want to communicate the collapsed box coordinates to the browser but that in itself doesn't warrant further action. Same goes for swapping images, you want to reset the cursor (i.e. imgxy and imgbox) but don't want to trigger another redraw.

Message-ID: Hi Michael: You're correct, this doesn't work on 3.4, but will in 3.5 (currently doesn't). It's not a technical issue rather one of priorities in getting things working. You can work around this by not using a query map but rather adding a second layer to use in displaying the query results. For this second layer you're going to modify the class expression dynamically to isolate the chosen record and draw it special. You do this within an tag that normally would be used to display the querymap. Here's how: - add a second layer to your mapfile, it should reference the same data as you want to query and define the class to draw the selected feature as you wish, the class item should be 'regnrba'. Don't define a class expression. Place this layer AFTER the main layer and set it's status to OFF. - drop the query map from your mapfile - add something like this to your template (assuming new layer is called foo) What that call does is creates a map: - centered on the shape - with an extent defined by the value of buffer (could also use scale) - preserves any layers that were already on using [getlayers] - turns on the new layer "foo" - sets the expression for the first CLASS in foo to be the value of the item REGNRBA What the value for map_foo_class_expression should be will depend on what valid values in REGNRBA is. If it's strictly a number then you have to enclose it in double quotes for mapserver to treat it correctly, just use map_foo_class_expression=%22[REGNRBA]%22 instead. You could also use other unique column values to isolate the record. Hope this helps.

It seems like the path of least resistance because a normal msLayerWhichShapes() can be called. What are the implications of doing something like this? What about modifying other queries? dave From mapserver at lists.remote.org Wed Sep 5 17:02:54 2001 From: mapserver at lists.remote.org (Frederik Ramm) Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 02:02:54 +0200 Subject: [mapserver-users] Faster MapServer Stand-Alone? Message-ID: <20010906020254.A6404@aruba.remote.org> Hi, I've been looking at using the MapServer for a project of mine in which I have to create map images with minimal delay. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I got the impression that, basically, the MapServer will always run as a CGI. That means that for each request it will not only start a new process but also open and parse the map and all shape files. Then, it creates an output file which will be read by the web server in order to pass it on to the client. I haven't run any load tests but it seems obvious that this wastes a lot of performance. Hence I played around and built a stand-alone web server (which does the listen, accept, and fork) and then produces an image, along the lines of shp2img but at the end the image is sent out on the socket without further temp file creation. For the client, the whole operation looks identical to a standard CGI request. Of course my server is nowehere near as efficient and configurable as, say, an Apache server, but it isn't meant as a replacement for those - my server doesn't serve files or CGI scripts, just generated maps. Of course this whole process only improves things if I can read and pre-process as much of the map data as possible. Reading the map file in advance is trivial (in my scenario, the map file will be the same for all requests, but the extent and maybe the layer selection will change). I might want to support different projections but I could perhaps try and pre-initialize the relevant PROJ structures. I have not looked at the shapefile processing too closely but it seems that the shapefiles are parsed for each request. Is the shapefile format already so efficient that placing the shapefiles on a RAM disk (or using a decent buffering file system) will create near-optimum performance, or would it be worthwhile to try and pre-load all the shape data from the start? Maybe someone else has played around with this concept. Especially, I'd like to know how far I can go along this road without having to re-write large parts of the MapServer. Of course I'd prefer to just write a MapServer add-on but if it turns out that pre-loading stuff is just not supported anywhere by any means, then my project would become one hell of a "diff-and-patch" exercise in no time :-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frederik at remote.org ## N48?59.94 E008?24.36' From pramsey at refractions.net Wed Sep 5 18:25:52 2001 From: pramsey at refractions.net (Paul Ramsey) Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 18:25:52 -0700 Subject: [mapserver-users] Faster MapServer Stand-Alone?

Probably it wastes *some* performance, but before you go and develop a long-running mapserver at great personal expense, you might want to consider the relative loads involved in: 1 - starting up the CGI process 2 - parsing the mapfile 3 - finding and reading in the relevant vectors 4 - rasterizing the vectors Because I have empirically found that mapserver is slowest when I ask it to rasterize alot of vectors. The more data I actually require *in the image* in slower it is. And a long-run process is not going to avoid that requirement. So if the rasterization (4) is 90% of the CPU requirement, spending your effort optimizing for 1, 2 and 3 might not be the best investment. I understand your concerns, it was the first thing which leapt to my mind when I started installing and understanding mapserver, but my actual experience *using* it has shown it to be blazingly fast. -- __ / | Paul Ramsey | Refractions Research | Email: pramsey at refractions.net | Phone: (250) 885-0632 \_ From M.Achtzehn at cui.de Thu Sep 6 06:33:16 2001 From: M.Achtzehn at cui.de (Michael Achtzehn) Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 15:33:16 +0200 Subject: AW: [mapserver-users] mapxy + scale / buffer not work!

Note that using "mode=map" you can already return a map directly to stdout and avoid the temporary GIF file creation if that's a concern to you... but since you need to produce an HTML response plus some GIF images in the same request, saving to a temporary GIF is what causes the less overhead. Proper use of quadtree indexes and tile indexes is the first thing you should concentrate on when tuning your applications. Loading all shapefiles in RAM might improve performance, but only if your dataset is smaller than your available RAM... it might be an interesting option to look into (maybe a new CONNECTIONTYPE RAM ? ;), but that won't replace good use of quadtrees and tile indexes when you deal with gigabytes of data. Back to your original question: I think what you need is FastCGI... it would run under the regular Apache (so you don't ned to write your own server), but would save the overhead of loading the CGI and you could even preload the mapfile pretty easily and even preload the tile indexes for instance (with some work). There have been discussions on using MapServer under FastCGI about a year ago but we haven't heard anything since then. I think your efforts would be better spent in making MapServer FastCGI-friendly than in writing a custom server... and we might even be interested in helping with such a project. BTW, is anyone running MapServer with FastCGI at the moment? Or did anyone try it recently? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette morissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Don't put for tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.

I am not sure why this is happening to you, but not others. However, I believe if you upgrade to the latest PROJ.4 (4.4.3 at http://www.remotesensing.org/proj) and then reconfigure and rebuild MapServer I think you will find this goes away. The 4.4.3 version of PROJ.4 carefully segregates public declarations into proj_api.h and private ones into projects.h. The hypot() declaration in projects.h is presumably intended to help in cases where it is missing from math.h, but in the C++ build case (of mapogr.cpp) it conflicts with the proper C++ declaration of hypot() which includes exception information. Let me know if the problem persists.

However, today for my own use I don't think this is required any more since GDAL now installs itself easily and gdal-config takes care of all the magic. However, I could see places where it is impossible to install GDAL in the runtime path (or where multiple versions of GDAL may be installed) and static linking may come handy. But this is true for most of the other libraries that MapServer links with and we don't allow any of them (except GD) to be statically linked... so I'm not sure what's best... if the static linking of OGR causes headaches then I guess we could take it out unless some users tell us that they still need it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette morissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Don't put for tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.

Message-ID: <3B98F30F.E23877F4@madscheme.com> Although I've read the docs and the list archives, installed the demo, and have built working applications, I'm stuck on something that sounds simple. I'm trying to plot a map with its center at a given lat/lon and a radius of a given number of miles. The map would actually include features within the bounding box of this circle, not clipped to the circle. The data files (state/county/etc. boundaries) are good, and the projection from lat/lon to lcc and other projections works in the template file. But I'm not sure how to define the extent around the center point, since the original lat/lon (DD) space doesn't equate to miles. I'm approximating the bounding box by trial and error. Should I use proj.4 to calculate the extents in miles from each lat/lon counterpoint? Or is there a way in Mapserver to specify this directly?

Message-ID: Are you using parameters like mapxy and buffer to do this or some other method? Since your output map is lcc this isn't hard. You just need to convert your center point from lat/lon to lcc and then generate the exent around that computed point. The CGI program (compiled with Proj.4) has built-in capabilities to do this. For example, assuming a non-geographic output projection you can set mapext or mapxy in the output projection or in lat/lon. If it's in lat/lon MapServer will convert to the output projection before continuing. You can use the buffer parameter to specify a radius to use around the mapxy point. In your case you'd set it to ? a mile (in output units). Hope this helps.

I'm trying to plot a map with its center at a given lat/lon and a radius of a given number of miles. The map would actually be the bounding box of this circle, not clipped to the circle. And it would only be a circle in lat/lon space (Mercator), not in any other projection, right? The data files (state/county/etc. boundaries) are good, and the projection from lat/lon to lcc and other projections works in the template file. But I'm not sure how to define the extent around the centerpoint, since the original lat/lon (DD) space doesn't equate to miles. I'm approximating the bounding box by trial and error. Should I use proj.4 to calculate the extents in miles for each lat/lon centerpoint? Or is there a way in Mapserver to specify this directly?

That's expected. To calculate a scale you need a conversion between decimal degrees and a known unit (i.e. inches). Problem with longitudes is they are not fixed and as you move north... blah, blah, blah. The internal code uses a dd to inches value that is valid at the equator, which may explain the goofiness you're seeing espcially if you're working a ways north. It's an arbitrary decision, but since there's preopably no good value and scale makes no sense with lat/lon for the most part I haven't worried about it. Perhaps it should be tunable.

I would suggest that you check the following: 1- Did you set a TEMPLATE parameter in the queryable layer(s) or in their CLASSes? 2- Is there really something at the location ($lat, $lon) that you are querying? Is your data in lat/lon as well? (i.e. the query coordinates have to be in the same projection as the map itself). Try a queryByRect() with the whole view extent and see if that returns something. 3- Have you tried increasing the TOLERANCE value?

Steve gave me datzu the following tip: "Hi Michael: You're correct, this doesn't work on 3.4, but will in 3.5 (currently doesn't). It's not a technical issue rather one of priorities in getting things working. You can work around this by not using a query map but rather adding a second layer to use in displaying the query results. For this second layer you're going to modify the class expression dynamically to isolate the chosen record and draw it special. You do this within an tag that normally would be used to display the querymap. Here's how: - add a second layer to your mapfile, it should reference the same data as you want to query and define the class to draw the selected feature as you wish, the class item should be 'regnrba'. Don't define a class expression. Place this layer AFTER the main layer and set it's status to OFF. - drop the query map from your mapfile - add something like this to your template (assuming new layer is called foo) " But with the Variables '[shpmidx]+[shpmidy]' this don't work.

I have gotten a simple map to draw but what I really want to do is to dynamically add points (based on a sql query, though I think that is not relevant to this question). My problem is in using the pointObj() method and specifically the class parameter. I am a bit vague on this one but it seems to me that the symbol and the colour used to draw the point is sourced from the class definition in a layer called from the map file using the getLayerByName method. My relevant layer statement in the map file is as follows: ########################################################################33 LAYER NAME sw_sites TYPE point STATUS OFF DATA locations #DATA location_mi_point labelitem "ID" CLASS SYMBOL 3 SIZE 7 NAME sw_sites COLOR 254 0 0 LABEL BACKGROUNDCOLOR 200 255 255 COLOR 30 94 94 SIZE SMALL POSITION AUTO WRAP " " END END END ############################################################# My mapscript code is as follows: ############################################################### #! /usr/bin/perl use CGI qw/:standard :html3 -no_debug/; use mapscript; $q = new CGI; print $q->header(); $map = new mapObj("/www/hosted/streamwatch/cgi-bin/streamwatch.map") or die('Unable to open mapfile.'); my $layer = $map->getLayerByName('regall'); $layer->{status} = $mapscript::MS_ON; my $layer = $map->getLayerByName('ocean'); $layer->{status} = $mapscript::MS_ON; my $layer = $map->getLayerByName('rivall'); $layer->{status} = $mapscript::MS_ON; $point = new pointObj(); $point->{y} = $data->{'-33.7577'}; $point->{x} = $data->{'151.0188'}; $map->{extent}->{minx}= 150.9000; $map->{extent}->{miny}= -33.6000; $map->{extent}->{maxx}= 151.1000; $map->{extent}->{maxy}= -33.8000; $map->{height} = 300; $map->{width} = 300; my $img = $map->prepareImage(); #$layer->draw($map, $img); $img = $map->draw() or die('Unable to draw map'); $layer = $map->getLayerByName('sw_sites'); $point->draw($map, $layer, $img, 0, "test point"); $map->drawLabelCache($img); mapscript::msSaveImage($img, undef, $map->{interlace}, $map->{transparent}); ########################################################################3 The following link shows what result I get: http://www.streamwatch.org.au/cgi-bin/testmapscript.pl There should by rights be a small red triangle in somewhere near the center of the map with the lable "test point".

This means that you need to compile MapServer with a GD that includes Freetype support and then MapServer's configure should detect that GD supports Freetype and will enable truetype fonts in MapServer. I don't think GD1.3 could support Freetype, so you'll probably have to upgrade to GD1.8.x. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette morissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Don't put for tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.

The first is short, the > second uses object packages and obfuscates > mapscript API. There are two different API's. The first the the Mapscript interface as implemented in Tcl. This should be relatively equivalent to the Perl and Python interfaces, as they are each built from the same Swig specification. There is a Swig generated documentation file, that pretty much just lists the objects and methods. Yes, sadly, there isn't a lot of docs. The Mapscript docs at mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapscript.html should give you a good intro, even for Tcl. The main differences are the language syntax issues. Where Perl uses '->' as an object method or data specifier, Tcl simply uses a space. Perl: $map = newmapObj('foo.map'); Tcl: set map [mapscript::mapObj -args foo.map] All Tcl Mapscript objects reside in a namespace of 'mapscript'. Other differences are that Tcl objects use methods 'configure' and 'cget' to get an set data members, rather than just resolving with a '->', e.g: Perl: $map->{name} = 'test'; Tcl: $map configure -name test Tcl also needs to dereference object references in one object, to gain access to child object data & methods: Perl: $map->{extent}->{minx} = $minimum_x; Tcl: set extent [$map cget -extent] mapscript::rectObjRef $extent configure -minx $minimum_x The 'mapscript::rectObjRef' command is used as a cast, which is a more readable way of: rectObj_minx_set $extent $minimum_x which is the actual command constructed by Swig. The 'rectObjRef' command is constructed in mapscriptsupp.tcl to provide the other syntax. The other API used by MapServer Workbench is 'msTclObjs', which allows manipulation of map objects for editing, when a map object may be in an invalid state. I wrote these to do things like cut/copy/paste, allow data entry validation and meta-data for the Mapscript objects. > Perl and PHP docs and examples don't help - > tcl is too different. First, you should have a good understanding of Tcl (should take most people a few hours, a day at most.) There are several good books on Tcl, and lots of info on the web. I'm currently working on updating Mapscript/Tcl and MapServer Workbench for Mapserver 3.5, if I have time, I'll try to add some addtional docs or examples. -- Tom Poindexter tpoindex at nyx.net http://www.nyx.net/~tpoindex/ ----- End forwarded message ----- From Regina.Obe.PFD at ci.boston.ma.us Thu Sep 13 05:40:31 2001 From: Regina.Obe.PFD at ci.boston.ma.us (Obe, Regina DND\MIS) Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 08:40:31 -0400 Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem with Netscape treating a space diff erent than Internet Explorer Message-ID: You have to URL Encode the layers section.

I do the following in php/mapscript: ($extent coming in to the script as extents in a way like minx+miny+maxx+maxy, this appears to be computed correctly; $mapbild_x and _y are the points clicked on in the map) $extvalues = split ("\+", $extent); $map -> setExtent ($extvalues [0], $extvalues [1], $extvalues [2], $extvalues [3]); $pointclickedX = $extvalues [0] + (($extvalues [2] - $extvalues [0]) / (double) $map -> width) * (double) $mapbild_x; $pointclickedY = $extvalues [1] + (($extvalues [3] - $extvalues [1]) / (double) $map -> height) * (double) $mapbild_y; $querypoint = ms_newPointObj (); $querypoint -> setXY ($pointclickedX, $pointclickedY); $queryresult = @$map -> queryByPoint ($querypoint, MS_SINGLE, -1); Maybe my mapfile is set up in a wrong way, i am spending some time to figure out how queries work at all. My mapfile shows the following layer: LAYER CONNECTIONTYPE postgis NAME objekte TYPE POLYGON STATUS default DATA "geo_value from objekte" CONNECTION "user=xxx password=xxx dbname=xxx" CLASSITEM "id" CLASS EXPRESSION ([id] eq 0) NAME "geoid_hilite" SYMBOL 0 SIZE 1 COLOR 255 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 TEMPLATE "" END CLASS EXPRESSION /1 neq 1/ NAME "geoid_current" SYMBOL 0 SIZE 1 COLOR 135 206 250 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 TEMPLATE "" END CLASS EXPRESSION /./ NAME "geoid_normal" SYMBOL 0 SIZE 1 COLOR 240 230 140 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 TEMPLATE "" END END The expressions are always overridden in each map and provide useful default values. According to php/mapscript 3.5 docs, $queryresult now holds (should hold) an integer. My problems are: 1) I am getting more or less random results, either 1 or 0 for my clicks in the map. Heavy investigations into the code by several people show that the passing of parameters to/from the script appears to be correct. So do included debugging printing options: the computation is ok. But the results are obviously not. What am I doing wrong? 2) what am I to do with the final integer? In the end, I need the number of the shape i clicked. thanks in advance from a desperate developer, thorsten -- Thorsten Fischer thfischer at mapmedia.de --------------------------------------------------------- MapMedia - Kartographie und raumbezogene Informationssysteme Am Borsigturm 42 13507 Berlin Deutschland http://www.mapmedia.de tel: +49 (0)30 43032102 --------------------------------------------------------- From mgiesbrecht at geoarctic.com Thu Sep 13 13:01:30 2001 From: mgiesbrecht at geoarctic.com (Mark Giesbrecht) Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 14:01:30 -0600 Subject: [mapserver-users] Changing map file parameters via URL Message-ID: <3BA1109A.9E07C3B0@geoarctic.com> Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble changing the following map file parameters via URL: WEB HEADER queries/page_header.htm FOOTER queries/page_footer.htm IMAGEPATH "F:\InetPub\wwwroot\tmp\" IMAGEURL "/tmp/" END LAYER NAME "08c-" TYPE LINE STATUS ON TOLERANCE 10 DATA '08c_coh69-magnoliapark_spans_ne' CLASS name '08c-' COLOR 255 0 225 SIZE 2 SYMBOL 'line' END #CLASS HEADER 'queries/transmission_header.htm' QUERY TEMPLATE 'queries/transmission.htm' END #QUERY END #LAYER I would like to change the content of the HEADER and TEMPLATE variables in the map file, and am doing so with the following request: ...&map_WEB_HEADER=queries/towers_page_header.htm&map_WEB_FOOTER=queries/towers_page_footer.htm &map_08c-_HEADER=queries/towers_transmission_header.htm&map_08c-_QUERY_TEMPLATE=queries/towers_transmission.htm The WEB_HEADER/FOOTER change correctly, however, I seem to be missing something on the layer HEADER and QUERY_TEMPLATE.

Dimitri's points are valid to a certain extent. - Depending on who you talk to MapServer is extremely easy to use or can be cumbersome. I've not run across a single system that is *easy* to use. Many include an out-of-the-box functionality that get's folks up quickly although it's a very different matter to move away from that in any meaningful fashion. MapServer's demo serve's much the same role but in my opinion is easier to extend. Several tools have been written (Tom Poindexter's suite of tools is an example) and others are on the way. - write access to the file system is NOT a requirement although many folks use it that way. It's easy to setup a system that writes no files to disk. The java version of the DNR Recreation Compass and LandView are examples and even the most basic CGI versions can be configured this way. Risks associated with write permissions can be mitigated IF permissions are handled correctly. No system is free from security issues, just running on Windows is a huge one! - by "low performance" I assume he's refering to CGI vs whatever. CGI is slower, yes, but that's not the bottleneck which is clearly related to processing the GIS data. MapScript certainly provides a host of alternatives. I've not used Manifold's web piece but performance relative to other vendor products is pretty clear. The comment I agree with most is that by NOT being a GIS itself MapServer does, in many cases, assume you have other products to use. I've always used it in concert with other systems and I think most users do as well. It's just that those other vendors don't offer a free or even marginally low cost web mapping system. Manifold is the only one to do that, kudos for that. As for the experience of the user? Web mapping simply is not the domain of pure GIS staff nor pure web staff. It's techical enough to require both in the form of teams or staff with particular talents. Once MapServer configuration (i.e. map files) are mastered there's no need for ANY scripting so a less techical audience is free to participate (especially if we can build more wizard tools). Yet the system offers advanced users the opportunity to code as much as they'd like. And in the end you're not locked into an OS, scripting language, file format or vendor.

Manifold IMS has no connection whatsoever with the University of Minnesota project, nor does it use any code from the University of Minnesota server. It is a very different thing, based on Manifold System. Once can see that Manifold IMS is based on Manifold by how it leverages the capabilities of Manifold, for example to display surfaces, work with Zoom Ranges, and so on. Manifold IMS is essentially an alternate presentation / user interface layer for Manifold. As the programming interfaces for Phase 2 are published the details of interfacing to Manifold IMS will also be published. Although this is a Manifold list and not a general GIS list, I hope people will forgive me for going "off topic" slightly and commenting on the Minnesota server. It has pluses and minuses: the biggest pluses are that it is free and runs on Linux. The biggest minuses are that is is complex to configure and operate, it is a low performance architecture and that it has numerous security holes, the most obvious of which is that it requires giving the Internet client "write" permission to the server's Internet directories. These make it risky to deploy in production environments. >From an architectural viewpoint I would respectfully disagree with the Minnesota approach. When contemplating the Minnesota server one is struck by how for it to be seriously useful it requires the user / webmaster to have a real GIS to work with. On the other hand, it defines a world (in terms of the configuration, programming and scripting required to make it do things) that is very technical and very different in the details of that technicality from any GIS. That means for proficiency one must end up learning and optimizing two very different systems: the GIS that's used for most mapping stuff and the GIS/server that's used to publish. I can understand how the above happened, since the Minnesota folks did not have a GIS to work with of their own. At Manifold we figured that if a person invests a lot of time in mastering a GIS he or she should be able to leverage that GIS directly in the presentation/interaction via Internet. Using the GIS makes creation of a web page a very simple dialog, almost a "one-click" process, while retaining the sophistication of what one can do in a real GIS (surfaces, images, projections, etc.). We, of course, had a very extensive GIS already so we had the luxury of taking this approach. It is also a cost advantage, since a free map server plus any other GIS ends up being considerably more expensive than 5.00 (which includes Manifold IMS "for free").

Anyway, I'm looking forward to see a Manifold-based website that can beat Jean-Francois Doyon's Election application which served 80,000 maps from a single Linux box on elections day last fall while sites based on other webmapping servers all went down. There is no cache trick here... we're talking about real maps drawn and served. Combine that with a pool of servers with load balancing and the possibilities are unlimited (and the price hard to beat!). 80,000 maps per day on a single server is acceptable performance to me... if Manifold IMS beats that then I might even consider digging out our old Manifold license and upgrading to see it by myself.

Because of architecture changes the class to be used in rendering a feature must be known prior to calling the draw method. The assumtion is that using mapscript that would be handled in the scripting code. It doesn't have to be that way but I'll have to make a few additions to the mapscript code to allow you to pass a string to have evaluated against a number of class expressions. The method would be called getClassIndex or something like that and would be there for layer objects. All that said, your solution is simple.

I apologize in advance to any readers of other lists or the cc: list who have no interest in this interchange... if so, please flame Daniel for cross posting and not me! :-) You clipped out the main content of my posting. My original posting went on to say that I felt the main issue with the Minnesota server is that in practise it assumes one also has a GIS for the nuts and bolts of mapping, but that the details of configuring and operating the Minnesota server are very different from any existing GIS. That requires the operator to become proficient in two worlds: the GIS and the map server. I then pointed out the advantages accruing when an extensive GIS also incorporates a map server: people need become proficient in only one system and the presentation (publishing via Internet) can be as simple as a one-click process. This was the main point of my posting that touched on the Minnesota server. > I agree with some of your points, but I strongly disagree on the "low > performance and numerous security holes"... you also forgot to mention > (in the pluses) reliability/stability and connectivity with other I agree that my phrase would have been better to write "the biggest pluses are that it is free, comprehensive and runs on Linux." However, since my posting was to a peer group who (presumably) all already have Manifold and thus Manifold IMS (Internet Map Server), I was not writing as carefully as I would have for a general audience. I was providing a few words so people who have not heard of the Minnesota server would know what I was talking about. Plus, my point was not to write a technical review, it was to state that I felt it was a better approach for a full-featured GIS to include a map server than to have a disjoint toolkit of a GIS and a map server that are fundamentally different in their operating styles. > systems via protocols such as OGC WMS (client and server), and > on-the-fly access to various data sources such as SDE, PostGIS, 20 > raster formats and half a dozen vector formats. > OGC and the like are fairly typical of the frightfully bureaucratized approaches one sees coming out of the legacy GIS world. Lots of raster and vector formats are fine, but frankly, most of the nearly 200 million people in the world who operate Microsoft Office don't care about OGC or SDE or PostGIS. Those are the people who buy large volume and, ultimately, decide what is widespread in the market. I see parallels to how UNIX marginalized itself. Rather than pay attention to what hundreds of millions of people felt was important, the UNIX community wasted time and energy in elitist "standards" wars and standards "processes" that no one except a fraction of a percent of computer users cared about. In the 1980's I knew many people in UNIX who felt that adoption by the Federal government of certain UNIX-driven standards would "force" the masses to accept what we were doing. It was almost as though if people could somehow cram a sufficiently encompassing synthesis of Berkeley, AT&T System III and System V, and SUN approaches to file systems, networking, etc., into one UNIX it would be accepted by the masses. Of course, the masses didn't care. What I think is especially galling to UNIX/Linux partisans is that the reason Microsoft has triumphed is that users have *chosen* Microsoft over UNIX/Linux. I have heard this explained away by fanatics using endless rationalizations (Microsoft forces people to buy its products, hundreds of millions of people are too stupid to know they should be buying what I prefer, etc., etc.), but always avoiding confronting the key observation that by margins of about a hundred to one [counting all the ripped-off copies of MS stuff] people voluntarily prefer Microsoft to Linux. I don't disagree that quite a few people prefer OGC and actually intend to buy SDE and deploy it, think about PostGIS and so on. But they are in the 1% cohort compared to those who don't care about such things and prefer a one-click map server that allows them to present the data they have over Internet. One might say the unwashed 99% are too stupid to realize that they should take OGC seriously, that they don't know what they want, that they should be using Linux, and so on. But in the end if one ignores the legitimate interests of millions of people one ends up being marginalized. Don't make the mistake of UNIX and assume away the "ease of use" thing, or allow a dislike of Microsoft to not consider the desiderata of the only (numerically) market that counts. > I'm actually glad to hear that you have been able to combine easy > configuration and application development, flexibility, high performance > and affordable price into a single product... it's a huge step in the > right direction since none of the current map server offering could do > *all* of that until now AFAIK... not even MapServer which I have to > admit requires some skills and some time before you can take full > advantage of all its features. This is not sarcasm... if what you > pretend is true then I'm impressed! But I won't believe until I see ^^^ Perhaps this is a simple case of the impression in writing being different than what was intended, but I wish you would not have used quite so an implication-laden word as "pretend." Daniel, considering that I was writing in a list where all of us have Manifold IMS there is no need to "pretend." It's what we use on a daily basis. Manifold 5.00 does indeed cost $245, it does indeed (in addition to what may be the most extensive and powerful general purpose GIS ever introduced) include Manifold IMS at no additional charge, it does provide superb performance in both GIS and IMS and one can, in fact, publish a map server web page in it with one click [the "OK" button in the File - Export - Web Page dialog using default settings]. A web page for t5.00 is at http://www.manifold.net/news/news_set.html, including links to some of the beta sites for Manifold IMS and links to the User Manual at http://www.manifold.net/manuals/5_userman/start.htm ... The user manual lays out everything very openly (albeit in annoying format given the automatic translator to HTML that was used). > it... > > Does your note imply that Manifold IMS will deliver better performance > (and stability) than MapServer? Other than the mythic belief that CGI That remains to be seen and quite likely (like many things in computing) will depend in part on the specific application. Like anything, Manifold IMS and MapServer both encompass assumptions about what the target uses are likely to be and are optimized for such target uses. If those target uses are significantly different, it will always be possible to construct an example shaped to fit the target for either Manifold IMS or MapServer where one clobbers the other. If that is true, the question then becomes which target use pattern is more relevant to the specific use one is considering. I believe that Manifold is better aimed at the target uses that predominate in the market. Manifold IMS is session-free and supports object pooling, both wonderful performance gains in an .asp environment. Microsoft ASP in itself is obviously a higher performance environment than CGI (although, of course, it has tradeoffs in other dimensions). There are well-known technical reasons why this is so that cannot be made irrelevant by labeling them "mythic" (as you apparently acknowledge by your comment on "CGI overhead"). > is slow, MapServer is actually the fastest fully featured web map server > I've seen until now... yes CGI overhead exists but it is minimal > compared to the time to render maps based on hundreds of Megabytes or > even Gigabytes of data (which MapServer can accomodate amazingly well > thanks to its high performance internal architecture!). > It sounds like you are making the case that the well-known, less-optimal process performance of CGI relative to ASP does not matter because it is dominated by the slow response of the server when rendering images based on very large data sets. That's a fair point, but it is only true in cases where very large data sets are in play. It turns out that (as a determined web crawl will reveal) the maps that most people publish over the web are tiny. For the most part they are simple vector maps running a few tens of megabytes. I could be wrong, but I believe that all other things being equal CGI overhead (if nothing else) in such cases will be a negative factor in an otherwise well-architected map server. This will be especially true with many hits in a short period of time. On the other hand, "performance" is something of a canard since virtually no map servers have any significant traffic. For the most part the distribution of map servers on the web is lots of niche sites that few people visit. This is a better argument in favor of CGI than the one you made. > Anyway, I'm looking forward to see a Manifold-based website that can > beat Jean-Francois Doyon's Election application which served 80,000 maps > from a single Linux box on elections day last fall while sites based on > other webmapping servers all went down.

Combine that with a > pool of servers with load balancing and the possibilities are unlimited > (and the price hard to beat!). > Hmm... 80,000 / 24 = 3333. 3333 / 60 = 56 (rounded). That's less than one image per second. Clearly, there must have been peak load issues if other servers went down since a server rate of one per second does not strike me as a very high standard in modern times. "Cache tricks" are part of an intelligent design so they should not be disparaged. The only "real" map drawn and served is the image the user sees in his browser... any effective method is fair game. Plus, one can load balance with any system through simple methods. I disagree on price, by the way. Few things are free: there is usually only a shifting of cost. To really "do" map web sites a user needs both a map server and a GIS. The cost of ESRI + MapServer is far beyond the $245 cost of Manifold + Manifold IMS. In both cases, the map server is "free." That's the equation confronting most users (who are new to GIS, statistically) who would operate a Internet map server site. My own guess based on rather cursory explorations is that fewer than 1% of the potential users of an Internet map serving site need more than one server. For them the above equation is dominant. For those who need more servers the benefit of a free map server increases since presumably they don't need to replicate the GIS. However, there is a substantial cost in technical expertise imposed by MapServer. That is not a free economic good. Humans cost more than anything in the system, so when even a little bit of thought is required the cost penalty is high. If you price what it costs to get a consultant in to configure MapServer for you, I'd bet you would conclude that the actual cost per server for small numbers of servers is higher than the volume discounted price of Manifold IMS for such servers. It's true that if you have a server farm with 1000 servers you have a serious incentive to get free software for each. But, as a significant percentage of the market such installations do not exist. It's also true that some people have the intrinsic technical skill to configure MapServer or the hobby interest to acquire such expertise or enough time on their hands that the cost of acquiring the skill is zero at the margin. For such people there may well be no "cost" to using MapServer but once again as a significant percentage of the market such a cohort does not exist. > 80,000 maps per day on a single server is acceptable performance to > me... if Manifold IMS beats that then I might even consider digging out > our old Manifold license and upgrading to see it by myself. > As noted above, 80,000 per day is not a big deal: the key issue is peak load. I feel safe in saying that given a reasonably modern PC Manifold IMS has the performance to handle over 95% of all sites people might have. In fact, it has so much capacity that we expect many people will go into the "application server" market of offering to configure and host other people's IMS sites, much as Blue Marble is attempting to do as a service business. One server could easily host many dozens of sites. For the remaining 5% in a few months we will offer the Advanced Manifold IMS. Advanced IMS is optimized for those few Enterprise users who are working with a different class of application.

My letter also included the following: "Microsoft ASP in itself is obviously a higher performance environment than CGI (although, of course, it has tradeoffs in other dimensions)." Performance is just one factor to be considered when choosing a dynamic web page technology. If you are familiar with the workings of web servers you know that spawning a separate process for each request (CGI) is an intrinsically lower performance approach than the in-process model used by ASP and COM. [For those Windows readers unfamiliar with CGI, for *each* request it is from a process perspective akin to opening a DOS box in 2000, starting a script, retrieving the answer and closing the box, as opposed to simply executing within the same DLL already sitting in RAM]. There are, of course, other considerations that may cause people to use CGI rather than ASP. CGI has been around a lot longer so there is lots of inertia behind CGI. For many people it is easier to start coding an application using CGI and scripts, so it is understandable why many applications get prototyped using CGI and grow from there. After an application grows to a certain point it's a lot easier to toss more hardware at disappointing performance than to re-code into a different environment. Finally, ASP is a purely Microsoft technology and so is not available to people who (for whatever reasons) choose Linux. Conversely, there are many reasons why someone might choose ASP instead of CGI other than the performance advantage of ASP. It's all a matter of balance. I have no idea whether MapQuest uses CGI or Linux or what their business reasons were for doing so. Since they are a business, I presume that ultimately it was business reasons that led them to the decisions they reached. However, to suggest that "If MapQuest uses CGI than therefore CGI is higher performance than ASP" is silly. It could well be that MapQuest wanted to avoid paying for Windows licenses on 1000 servers. There may be a lesson in that for people who operate large server farms, but that is not most map server operators. If we are to relate this back to map servers in general, it is important to observe that *most* map server applications on the web are characterized by very small sites accessed by very few people. A few sites (like MapQuest) get millions of hits and the most of the rest of the sites get hundreds of hits. To my mind, that is a better argument for CGI and Linux than MapQuest, the reason being that in a classic, low-budget, low volume, code-your-own environment the idea of accessible, free, ad-hoc tools like Linux, Apache, CGI and PERL has a lot of appeal. In such cases getting started easily and free is much more important than the performance penalty of launching a few more processes to service each hit. However, for a fully automated, commercial, shrink-wrapped package solution aimed at pure Microsoft environments there is an entirely different impetus. If you know you are going to be exclusively in a Microsoft environment it makes sense to leverage all the benefits of that environment. In that case the package will use ASP for the obvious benefits it brings. So, I mean no disrespect to CGI or to the Minnesota MapServer. Both are certainly a fine way to go if you have the technical talent and can absorb the labor costs of configuration. But within the Microsoft Windows world (indisputably a first choice for many) there is absolutely no doubt that few professionals would choose a CGI based solution when they could use ASP, for performance reasons alone. Since I don't read the mapserver-users list I don't know if this thread is appropriate content for posts and I don't feel comfortable continuing to "cc" the list just because respondants did so. I would ask that any writers interested in corresponding further on this write to me directly.

If you would be so kind as to register this as a feature request via bugzilla I'll take a look at it. Another option would be to allow multiple qlayers just as with the layer parameter. You can use the regular layer or layers parameters to turn on layers you want to query and those parameters do respect groups. To be queryable a layer: - must be explicitly turned on or have STATUS of DEFAULT/QUERYONLY (in 3.5 the QUERYONLY option goes away in favor of setting TYPE to QUERY, this was done because in previous versions you could never turn off QUERYONLY layers, a bad thing) - must have a valid template So you can certainly turn layers on the old fashioned way.

I would recommend pre-processing the data to add the number of clients to the polygon coverage. That could be scripted so that you could run it as your client coverage changes. Basically you want to run a series of queries using MapScript. Not the PHP version, but with perl, python or tk/tcl so that you can run this outside of a web environment. The easiest way to do this would be like this: - for each point in the client file select the polygon (zone) it falls in (point select) - update a counter for that zone - after all points have been processed you now have a tally of the number of clients for each zone - add those totals as a new item in the zone attribute table Now you can easily map the density with PHP or the MapServer CGI version. Re-run the density script as necessary to update your zone data.

Genearate a new map based on the results of 1.

PostGIS/PostgreSQL is a spatial database much like ESRI's SDE and Oracles OracleSpatial. PostGIS/PostgreSQL includes the following functionality: - Simple Features as defined by the OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) - Support for Well-Known Text and Well-Known Binary representations of GIS objects - Fast spatial indexing using GiST - Geospatial analysis functions - PostgreSQL JDBC extension objects corresponding to the geometries - Support for OGC access functions as defined by the Simple Features Specification The latest release increases OpenGIS standards support, upgrades Mapserver support, and increases the number of accessor functions dramatically. For more information, see the PostGIS project web site at: http://postgis.refractions.net REQUIREMENTS: - PostgreSQL Version 7.1.x (Version 7.2 and CVS versions of PostgreSQL will *not* work due to changes in the GiST index interface. The next version of PostGIS will move to PostgreSQL 7.2.) - The PL/pgSQL server-side language must be installed before PostGIS RELEASE NOTES: - Version 0.6 includes numerous new functions bringing the system closer to OpenGIS SQL standards. The SPATIAL_REF_SYS and GEOMETRY_COLUMNS tables are now supported and maintainted. SRIDs are included in all geometries, and functions check for consistent SRIDs. - The internal binary format has changed since version 0.5, so a dump/restore of existing databases is *required*. See the UPGRADING section of the README. - The latest CVS version of Mapserver will be required if you are using PostGIS as a Mapserver datasource. See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ for more information on Mapserver and for CVS snapshots. NEW FUNCTIONS: postgis_version() Return the PostGIS version number. find_srid(::varchar, ::varchar, ::varchar) Return the SRID number for a particular column of a database. AddGeometryColumn(::varchar,
::varchar, ::varchar, ::integer, ::varchar, ::integer) Appends a geometry column to an existing table and updates the metadata tables appropriately. DropGeometryColumn(::varchar,
::varchar, ::varchar) Removes a geometry column from an existing spatial table. Distance(::geometry, ::geometry) Returns the cartesian distance between two geometries. AsText(::geometry) Returns the OGC well-known text version of the geometry. SRID(::geometry) Returns the integer SRID of the geometry. GeometryFromText(::varchar, ::integer) Creates a geometry object given the OGC well-known text and a valid SRID. SetSRID(::geometry) Sets the SRID of a geometry to a particular value. IsClosed(::geometry) Returns true of first and last points of geometry are coincident. StartPoint(::geometry) Returns the first point of a geometry. EndPoint(::geometry) Returns the last point of a geometry. Centroid(::geometry) Returns the centroid of a geometry. -- __ / | Paul Ramsey | Refractions Research | Email: pramsey at refractions.net | Phone: (250) 885-0632 \_ From Hannah.Jensen at erdc.usace.army.mil Wed Sep 19 13:50:05 2001 From: Hannah.Jensen at erdc.usace.army.mil (Jensen, Hannah ERDC-CRREL-NH) Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2001 16:50:05 -0400 Subject: [mapserver-users] mapshape query Message-ID: <048FBD219330D211B47000A0C9B3BAFD02A618E6@crl02.crrel.usace.army.mil> Hi, all.

If we set the zoomscale with a given scale, we get in return a scale that is not set equal to what we gave as parameter. There is always a shift, which appears, for a given width and height, to be a constant percentage of the scale. This appears anywhere on the map, even very far from the maximum mapextent. Is it a bug or a wrong use of the fonction? Actually, we need for our application to be able to zoom with a precise scale, to get one to one pixel representation of our raster image Here is an example of the problem we use: MapScript Version (Aug 29, 2001) MapServer version 3.5 (pre-alpha) OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE if we do: $Map->zoomscale($scale, $pixelpos, $width_pix, $height_pix, $georefext, $georefmaxext); with the following values (part of var_dump($Map->scale): $scale: int(28347) $pixelpos: ["x"]=> float(281) ["y"]=> float(277) $width: int(400) $height: int(400) $georefext: ["minx"]=> float(556933.36088877) ["miny"]=> float(111233.13134228) ["maxx"]=> float(562918.54274843) ["maxy"]=> float(117218.31320194) $georefmaxext: ["minx"]=> float(479231.75) ["miny"]=> float(65964.67) ["maxx"]=> float(847736.75) ["maxy"]=> float(320184.67) just after $Map->zoomscale() we get $new_scale: 28276.1325 $new_extent (bbox): 559142.913985 111078.53760395 563132.98830536 115068.61192431 we have a difference between what we asked and what we get of : 28347 - 28276.1325 = 70.8675 which is 0.25% (this factor is constant for 400x400 map at any scale, but it chages with different scale). This behaviour doesn't depend on the initial scale prior to the call of zoomscale (in this example, the initial scale was 42414) Any idea on what is happening?

We know that these function are not implemented yet in the php module. As we are not expert in building php module, we wanted to know if anybody is planning to extend the php proj module with those fucntion? For now, I'm using the exec() function to call the system command cs2cs (command using pj_transform). For example to translate from swiss grid to UTM 32N: exec("cs2cs +init=epsg:9814 +to +init=epsg:32632 < Matt - There isn't any "look right" here - the expected shape of these polygons is completely dependent upon the projection chosen. Since you're talking about "buildings", I'm assuming that they are pretty small polygons (in a global sense) and therefore won't be affected as much by the projection, except in their orientation. That is, the difference between UTM and decimal degrees will be a shape that's about the same but rotated (roughly). If your buildings are being projected into nowhere, check the EXTENTS parameter in the map file. If you're not defining a projection, you'll need to be sure that the range of coordinates in your shapes lies within the extents of the map. If your coordinates are in decimal degrees, then your extents need to be in decimal degrees, too. If you can post the map file and/or the shape file data it would be helpful if you're still stuck. - Ed Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: Matt Carlson [mailto:matt at aruke.com] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2001 3:55 AM To: mapserver-users Subject: [mapserver-users] projection confusion version : 3.3.011 built with proj : 4.4.3 hi, we are dealing with a client right now that is saying that the building polys being served up by mapserver look 'crooked'. is this a projection issue? the files are using dd for units, do these need to be projected a certain way to look right? i tried playing with some different projections in my map file and always came up with a white map. i'm suspecting my map is being projected out into nowhere. when the data was originally made it was projected from meters to wgs84 dd. do i need to define a projection in mapserver in order for these buildings to come out right? is this something that can be defined in the map file? thnks for any help, i'm a programmer not a gis guy basically lost here. matt From morissette at dmsolutions.ca Thu Sep 20 06:15:39 2001 From: morissette at dmsolutions.ca (Daniel Morissette) Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2001 09:15:39 -0400 Subject: [mapserver-users] epsg usage - getProjection ?

On Unix it is usually installed under /usr/local/share/proj, and on Windows, PROJ4 looks for it in directory C:\proj. So you have to get a copy of the "epsg" file and place it in C:\proj.

Sure can. I beleive you want to use the 'DATA' tag in the Layer Object section to specify the path. What I've done is to set a root directory with the SHAPEPATH tag and then use the DATA tag to specify directorys under the root... so something like: /vectors | | ---/2000_vectors | | ---/2001_vectors And the mapfile would look something like: # Start of Mapfile NAME blah SHAPEPATH "/vectors/" ...

I'm running an older version of mapserver, on the newer versions you might be able to even do without the SHAPEPATH and just list the full path to the shapefile for each layer. I think I tried to do this, but had some problems, but that was with 3.2.20.

However I see why you may not want individual layers to be visible. There are a few ways that we could handle this: 1- We could have a "wms_hidden" metadata... if it is set then the layer is not visible in the WMS capabilities. We would have to define how this works in combination with the grouping described above. 2- Right now, if 2 layers have the same name then MapServer's WMS interface will try to give them unique names in the capabilities by appending a number to the individual layer names (i.e. if your mapfile contains 3 layers with name "roads" then the capabilities will return roads_1, roads_2, roads_3) We could modify the interface so that it is legal to have layers with identical names, and then only the first one with that name is shown in the capabilities, the other ones are automatically hidden. All layers with the same name would be turned on automatically in a getMap request if that layer name is requested. I had to write this quickly...maybe it won't make much sense when you read it? Anyway, if you (and the other users) like one of those options then you might want to file a enhancement request in bugzilla.

I have a input projection in Lambert Conformal (seems to be in meters, not dd). The area of the image is in NSW, Australia. I had a look at the EPSG codes for use in mapserv 3.5 but couldn't see the relevant code. Is there one available? If not and I need to reference it in the old type format, ie. PROJECTION "proj=lcc" "ellps=GRS80" "lat_0=49" "lon_0=-95" "lat_1=49" "lat_2=77" END What would the syntax be? What do I need to replace the dd with (just meters?)

Seems like in my first mapfile definition: > LAYER > NAME ctyindex > TYPE QUERY > STATUS ON > DATA "ctyindex" > TEMPLATE dummy > END is missing the QUERY TEMPLATE dummy END and 3.5 errors out when this is included in the layer. When it is removed, the query does not work and yeilds "No matching record(s) found." Likewise, in 3.3, removing those same lines produces the same error, so I suspect the layer has no QUERY object. Anyway I got my 3.3 and 3.5 mapscript co-existing, and the 3.3 query scripts seems to be working OK. I also tried changing the mapfile as you suggest with TYPE LINE, but that didn't have any effect. If I set STATUS QUERYONLY in the mapfile, 3.5 gives me getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. (QUERYONLY):(11) Looking at the docs, specifically the 3.5 Mapfile reference, the Query Object section is gone. I am just trying to figure out what is going on with QUERY.

I'm out of the country right now so I can't provide detailed answers (don't have ArcView with me). If you are using ArcView, download the XTools extension from the ESRI users scripts page.

If you know how to compile MapScript for Java let me know, please ;) Greetings, Toby From steve.lime at dnr.state.mn.us Mon Sep 24 09:31:03 2001 From: steve.lime at dnr.state.mn.us (Stephen Lime) Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 11:31:03 -0500 Subject: [mapserver-users] 3.5 mapscript problem Message-ID: The previous email you mention refers to version prior to 3.5. 3.5 requires that a layer have STATUS ON or DEFAULT and that it has at least 1 class with a TEMPLATE defined or a global layer TEMPLATE (applies to all classes). STATUS QUERYONLY is gone because by tying up STATUS with whether or not a layer is for query only is stupid (on my part) cause you can't explicitly turn layers on or off. Therefore a new layer TYPE was created called QUERY. It actually doesn't affect the query functions which don't use layer TYPE but drawing functions know to ignore these layers. QUERY objects are gone and their contents rolled into CLASS objects. This was do to minimize the number of EXPRESSIONs that needed to be processed. By combining CLASS and QUERY the same layer-based functions could be used for drawing and querying. That really simplified the layer API. Steve Stephen Lime Internet Applications Analyst Minnesota DNR 500 Lafayette Road St. Paul, MN 55155 651-297-2937 >>> 09/22/01 02:16AM >>> Steve, With regard to mapscript querys in 3.5 In one of your emails earlier in the year, you said that you need: No. A layer is queryable if it is: - ON, either explicitly via a form or has STATUS DEFAULT or QUERYONLY and - has a QUERY object with a TEMPLATE defined. Seems like in my first mapfile definition: > LAYER > NAME ctyindex > TYPE QUERY > STATUS ON > DATA "ctyindex" > TEMPLATE dummy > END is missing the QUERY TEMPLATE dummy END and 3.5 errors out when this is included in the layer. When it is removed, the query does not work and yeilds "No matching record(s) found." Likewise, in 3.3, removing those same lines produces the same error, so I suspect the layer has no QUERY object. Anyway I got my 3.3 and 3.5 mapscript co-existing, and the 3.3 query scripts seems to be working OK. I also tried changing the mapfile as you suggest with TYPE LINE, but that didn't have any effect. If I set STATUS QUERYONLY in the mapfile, 3.5 gives me getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. (QUERYONLY):(11) Looking at the docs, specifically the 3.5 Mapfile reference, the Query Object section is gone. I am just trying to figure out what is going on with QUERY.

For the first problem, I'll assume you are using msedit.tcl, and trying to use the 'Tools' menu function to start the explorer. Does the msexplorer.tcl program start up? If not, then perhaps you have not installed the package correctly. See the 'README' file. For the second problem, Tcl/Tk only allows communications between programs when your X server is secured. That is, you must not use 'xhost' style security, and use 'xauth' instead. Try running 'xhost' without any arguments - you should see: access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect Run 'xhost -' to turn off xhost style security. Read the man pages on how 'xauth' works. Alternatively, you can compile Tcl/Tk with a special Makefile flag that doesn't check for a secured X server.

I have been playing around with mapserver and have been fairly successful getting some thematic maps of our proince (B.C.) up and working (sort of). The difficulty I am having (other than difficulties associated with not really knowing what I am doing) is : when I use the proper extents with units=meters in the mapfile the resulting map is "zoomed in" and shows only a small area of my map. When I change the units to inches everthing appears as I would expect it should but the scalebar is way out. The other associated problem is that I cant get the reference map I have created to indicate my position on the main map. I have included a portion of my mapfile just in case it helps clarify my problems Any advice would be much appreciated.

What I want to see is the map of Europe with the three countries hilited. I'm quite sure that this has to be done with a newLayerObj, that is simply put onto the "standard" layers. Can anybody give me some more detailed information about this.

This assumes you have a primary key between the 2 systems, a county code or something. I'd recommend the class expression option since it's the most straight forward. 3.5 has a couple of nice features that make doing this sort of thing pretty easy. Basically you set up a map with 2 parts, layer descriptions that compose the background of the map and a single layer to use in displaying the right countries. That single layer is what you manipulate the class expression for. Set the status to OFF for that layer and set up a class like: CLASS EXPRESSION /%codelist%/ ... END Then in your other app you'd create a variable that cats all the country codes together (i.e. id1|id2|id3) called codelist. MapServer CGI will substitute the value of codelist for %codelist% and there you have it, a dynamic expression. Be sure to turn the layer on. No need to go to MapScript on this one...

With an ANNOTATION layer using a LABELANGLEITEM and LABELSIZEITEM you can control the properties you mention on a label-by-label basis. The intent was to support exactly what you're refering to- pre and well defined annotation. The problem I see is that effort is usually done in support of a single map (i.e. area and scale) and may not translate well to the infinite number of viewing options of a web application, so some tuning of placement (e.g. removing overlaping labels) will undoubtedly be necessary. It's certainly not a bad place to start though. Note that OGR even goes further allowing use of a STYLEITEM where many CLASS object parameters are held in a single field allowing the ultimate in preprocessing. This is an experimental feature that has not been extended to basic shapefiles, SDE or PostGIS but will be at some point. I hope I understood the question correctly (had to look up "toponymy").

This assumes you have a primary key between the 2 systems, a county code or something. I'd recommend the class expression option since it's the most straight forward. 3.5 has a couple of nice features that make doing this sort of thing pretty easy. Basically you set up a map with 2 parts, layer descriptions that compose the background of the map and a single layer to use in displaying the right countries. That single layer is what you manipulate the class expression for. Set the status to OFF for that layer and set up a class like: > >CLASS > EXPRESSION /%codelist%/ > ... >END > >Then in your other app you'd create a variable that cats all the country codes together (i.e. id1|id2|id3) called codelist.

On our own stuff we tend to be Minnesota bound, but that just lends itself to more detail. Sheer numbers of features don't necessarily matter as much as feature detail. The Recreation Compass uses ~30 layers totaling ~250Mb vector and 13Gb raster. The app answers around 10k requests a day. I do know of others managing far larger datasets (but no more detailed) such as nationwide GDT data or nationwide TIGER. How much it can handle is largely a function of application and data design. If you make the right data available at the right time in the right format I think huge data volumes can be processed. - favorite apps. Well, I'll nominate a couple of our's here at the DNR: 1) Recreation Compass (www.dnr.state.mn.us/compass.html): It's the reason the the MapServer exists. It's very usable and provides access to 5,000+ web resources that really couldn't be organized any other way. 2) Data Deli (deli.dnr.state.mn.us): This site demonstrates WHY web mapping is important to business. The site facilitates 2,400 custom data bundles each day, and this is work that our GIS staff doesn't need to do. In fact, data requests have gone to near nil, saving the organization a great deal of money. (I also think it's a cool app!) I'll let others mention their sites, there are lots of good ones out there. I assume you're going to talk about your Atlas project which is among the best MapServer apps I've seen.

In 3.5 however there is a new parameter called SIZEUNITS for CLASS objects and you can use it to draw symbols of a fixed size regardless of map scale. In theory this snippet: CLASS COLOR 255 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 SYMBOL 'circle' SIZE 1 UNITS MILES END would get you a red circle (assuming you've got a circle symbol) with a black outline 1 mile in diameter. I know this is not optimal and we should really support a CIRCLE layer type- in time. Perhaps you could add that to bugzilla as a feature request...

I am still wrestling with this problem and wondered if you had any further suggestions. Once I figured out that lat/long could be used to specify mapext, I thought I could find the lat/long coordinates of the zoom box based on the geographic extent of the image (minlat, minlon, etc). Not so! I couldn't seem to convert with much accuracy, which I guess shouldn't have been surprising. I guess there's no way around interfacing with PROJ somehow. I saw an old posting on the web about a PROJ perl module, which I was hoping would be able to spit out the lat/long points for the zoom box. Is there a better way? If the PROJ perl module is the way to go, can you send it to me? Any suggestions are much appreciated!! Thanks!

The extent is projected when it is read from the CGI data, so it is converted using the existing projection information it has at that time. Setting the projection afterwords has no effect but to screw things up. This is fixable. Hannah, would you be so kind as to add this to bugzilla? Thanks- Steve Stephen Lime Data & Applications Manager Minnesota DNR 500 Lafayette Road St. Paul, MN 55155 651-297-2937 >>> "Jensen, Hannah ERDC-CRREL-NH" 09/25/01 03:09PM >>> Proof that you should leave your desk once in awhile -- someone down the hall saw my post and walked over to give me the answer. Thanks, Joel! Anyway, if mapext is specified in lat/long, it works properly. Only caveat is that the projection must be specified FIRST in the URL. So this works: http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv34g?mode=browse&map=..%2Fhtml%2Fusamap%2Ftige r.map&map_projection=proj=utm,zone=19&mapext=-78.12+40.14+-63.19+49.23 but this doesn't: http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv34g?mode=browse&map=..%2Fhtml%2Fusamap%2Ftige r.map&mapext=-78.12+40.14+63.19+49.23&map_projection=proj=utm,zone=19 Strange but true... -----Original Message----- From: Jensen, Hannah ERDC-CRREL-NH To: 'mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu' Sent: 9/25/01 3:17 PM Subject: [mapserver-users] setting projection based on zoom Hi, all. I would like to be able to change projections based on how far the user is zoomed in. For example, if they start out looking at the US in Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area but zoom in on Alaska, the map should display the zoomed in area in UTM zone 6. I'm hoping to be able to do this with CGI variables, but maybe that's not possible. If I pass in the projection parameters and the map extent (in the new projection units) like so: http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv34g?map=../html/usamap/tiger.map&mode=bro wse& map_projection=proj=utm,zone=6&mapext=415087+7115646+546659+7214763 it works fine. But since I don't know the map extent in the new projection before conversion, what variables should I pass to properly define the map extent? Can I somehow tell it to calculate the new extent based on the old one? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks in advance for any info/advice...

I'm looking out for like minded developers, or people who just want to be keep informed.
