Rotated labels only work with truetype fonts.

iUsing the CGI-version this can be realised with an empty layer for 
such markers in combination with the mapfile parameter changing methods.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/cgi-reference.html#mapfile

should give you an idea of the concept.

You need an empty layer defined in your map file:
(replace marker with something reasonable for your application,
especially select an existing symbol)

# Marker-Layer 
LAYER 
    NAME marker
    TYPE POINT
    STATUS OFF
    CLASS
        NAME "marker"
        SYMBOL "marker"
    END

    POSTLABELCACHE true
END 

>From an URL you now can add points to this layer (for the next
visualisation) as indicated by
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/cgi-reference.html#mapfile

Try replacing -lPDF with -lpdf.  Check the PDF settings on your MapServer
makefile--make sure the PDF_OBJ line equals mappdf.o.

 I already add /usr/local/pdflib in the ld.so.conf

I was looking at the DNR weather map:

http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/weather/map.html

and I was wondering if anyone could help me try something like that for my
map. I'd like the user to be able to mouse over a point and have an
"alt"-like box appear next to the mouse. But my map isn't static, so I can
necessarily say: when mouse is that this pixel by this pixel, popUp.

Is this something I'll have to alter in the mapplet?

Thanks in advance,
Amy

Hi guys,
Many are asking me about collaborative web-based solutions for managing
database information and coupling that with GIS viewing capabilities.
I'm planning to use Mapserver to display mostly point data, but will want
to have the ability to view AND edit database information for each
location.

Does anyone have a web site that I could look at to see this in action?  I
need to describe the concept to my colleagues and would like to show them a
demonstration of a similar kind of system

Message-ID: <000401c1ab52$d080e260$0200a8c0@plasma>

A quick question,

according to the readme file in the zipfile, "This is the precompiled
distribution of MapServer version 3.5 nightly build with
GIF, OGR, GDAL, PostGIS (PostgreSQL) and OGC WMS server support."

When I do mapserv -v

I get:

C:\mapserver>mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PR
J SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

And when I try:
http://plasma/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/demo.map&request=GetCapabilities

I get the following output.

    mapserv(): Web application error. No template provided.

I'm assuming that this version doesn't have WMS support, as stated in the
README file. Is it possible to get hold of a copy which does?

Thanks,

Andrew

I'm just starting to scratch the surface of WMS, but in my opinion that
error doesn't look it necessarily means WMS isn't compiled into the build,
but perhaps the WMS server isn't setup properly?  How do you know that
everything is setup properly in your map file?

A quick question,

according to the readme file in the zipfile, "This is the precompiled
distribution of MapServer version 3.5 nightly build with
GIF, OGR, GDAL, PostGIS (PostgreSQL) and OGC WMS server support."

When I do mapserv -v

I get:

C:\mapserver>mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PR
J SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

And when I try:
http://plasma/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/demo.map&request=GetCapabilities

I get the following output.

    mapserv(): Web application error. No template provided.

I'm assuming that this version doesn't have WMS support, as stated in the
README file. Is it possible to get hold of a copy which does?

Thanks,

Andrew

My mistake.  I accidentally deleted the WMS line in the Makefile.  I've
updated the package so please download again.  It's at

Message-ID: <7CDD7B94357FD5119E800002A537C46E22FE65@s5-ccr-r1.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca>

Hello,

Im having  bit of problem, not really mapserver related, but with all the
knowledgeable people here I thoguht I'd try :)

I've got the following map extent:

-1442903,1246771,-1958558,3366821

(These are Meters, LCC)

Now if I look at this extent with MapServer, it tells me the scale is:
15840015.370266 
(This with a GIF of 428x380)

Now if I use the following formula (Taken from the MapServer source):

    md = width/(resolution*inchesPerUnit[units]); // was (width-1)
    gd = extent.maxx - extent.minx;  

which translates into:

reqscale = ( -1958558 - -1442903 ) / ( 428 / ( 72 * 39.3701 ) )

in python

I consistently get a different result:-3415186.92036
(Or just take the positive version of this, whiich is what you get if you
swap minx and miny)

Now the value MapServer returns is right ...

But what's wrong with MY calculation ??? I need to be able to get to the
same number MapServer comes up with.  Up 'till now this was working fine ...
but not anymore it seems :(

I'm no GIS guru, so any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated
:)

Thanks :)

Mitchell:
If you want you can take a look at:
www.main-task.com/sig
login: test
password: test
It provides a solution for manage a set of antennas and coverages for ISP's.
You cand add, edit and delete information about clients, antennas,
nodes, etc..
This information is stored in a postgres database.
It also has a geo-coding algorithm designed for Bogot? city (Colombia).
(You can try a search like CR 15 # 85-55 -- This is a typical address in
Bogot?)
You can also search for an specific client
(Try in the combo -> Cliente and in the search box -> ENAUTOS)
And you can do zoom-in, zoom-out, pan and zoom all, and hide or show
layers (clientes, nodos, antenas)

Hope that helps,

Folks,

While trying to compile MapServer with GDAL (which has been compiled

Has anyone trying to use ECW stuff encountered this problem before and found

Message-ID: <EFEDJNCHKJMNHPFIBHJDKEBGCFAA.pnaciona@gis.umn.edu>

Folks,

Some of you have requested my MapServer and libraries source tree.  Well,
you can now download at your own risk the full tree as a 185 Mb zip file.
It's available at http://128.101.73.155/projects/ms35.zip. This what I use
to compile the win32 binaries which you can download in the MapServer web
site.  This now includes the PostgreSQL source.  I'm offering this as a
one-time deal and I won't be updating the archive.

For those who wish to conserve network bandwidth, I'm still providing the
binaries.  I'm also continuing the weekly compilation from the nightly
source.

Rock on.

-Perry

Hi Frank
Thank your for your help, It works now, I only have another little problem: 
I can draw a cross symbol but it's too small, and it always have the same 
size (and I zoom in it!)
What can I do?
In my map file I have:

SYMBOL

  POINTS

    2 50
    -99 -99
    0 25
    50 25
  END

Thank you again

You can change the size using the SIZE keyword of the CLASS object.
Using the SYMBOLSCALE keyword (part of the LAYER object you activate 
scaling of the symbol and define the scale at wich it should reach full
size (as specified by SIZE).

Subject: [mapserver-users] Accessing MapServer with an ArcView3 extension
Message-ID: <200202031603.KAA24676@lists.gis.umn.edu>

Hello MapServer users,

if anyone of you is interested in an ArcView 3.x extension to access
MapServer services: I wrote an extension that dynamically loads MapServer
layers as image themes into ArcView.

Unfortunately I cannot offer the extension as Open Source because it shares
plenty of code with a commercial extension of my company. If anybody would
like to try it, though (I regard it as 'freeware'): you can download it at
http://digilander.iol.it/arminburger/avmapserv.html There you'll find also a
short description how to use it.

Yes it is possible to redirect output to a separate frame or even to
another window by setting the FORM's TARGET.  To do this you'll have to
write some JavaScript functions to be called 'onClick' for each of the
controls in the page that can submit the form, even those buttons that
are not targetted to a separate frame.  There is nothing specific to
MapServer here... it's just making use of JavaScript to control the
action and target of a FORM.

Now, in your case I see that you use the ROSA applet... so things are
different because there is no way to set an onClick callback on an
applet.  But ROSA has a parameter called "TB_BUT_*_JSACTION" which does
the same as an onClick would do on a submit button.

I attached below 2 JavaScript functions that can be used as JSACTIONs in
ROSA to achieve what you want.

You have to set TB_BUT_*_JSACTION to have an empty TARGET value and
point to the main gmap_permits.php script for all your ROSA toolbar
buttons...

<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_zoomin_JSACTION" 
       VALUE="submitAction('','gmap_permits.php')"> 

... except the QUERY button for which you would set the target to
'query_frame' and have it call a separate point_query.php script to
handle the query on the server...

<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_query_JSACTION"
       VALUE="submitAction('query_frame','point_query.php')"> 


I hope that helps.

Daniel

  I want the "judger" variable can be assign a value from the go3.html

  Could anyone tell me where I must fix ? Thank you very much.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Raster
Message-ID: <000001c1ad5d$e0d34330$24b1000a@Miro>

Hi all,

I have questions about raster data. 

Layer with raster data has 38 images; images are about 4500 pixel width,
and 6000 pixel height with 2 colors. I have tile index of those images.
The problem is that every image has border with no data. And that border
goes across the data of neighbor image. The image should be transparent.
There is no problem if I have png file format with transparent
background and map file look like that

LAYER  #raster 50.000
	NAME "IME_50"
	TILEINDEX "raster/ko_50.shp"
	TILEITEM "PNG_NAME"
	TYPE raster
	STATUS ON
	MAXSCALE 60000
	CLASSITEM "[pixel]"
	CLASS
		EXPRESSION ([pixel] <1 )
		COLOR 0 0 0
	END
END

But response of IIS and MapServer in that case is very slow. 

If I have tiff file format of those images I have white space around
every image in layer but response of IIS and MapServer is fast. Map file
is the same except:

	TILEITEM "TIF_NAME"

I can't cut border with no data because images are deformed and new
world file would be difficult to calculate.

I have MapServer:

MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=OGR
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

and IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Miroslav -

Store your images as TIFF files and use the OFFSITE keyword.  If you can
set no-data pixels to a unique value (not otherwise found in the image)
in your TIFF files, just add the OFFSITE keyword to the raster layer
with the TIFF file as data or indexed through a TILEINDEX file.  If the
value of your no-data pixel is 255, for example, then

	OFFSITE 255

will cause all pixels with that value to be treated as transparent.

Miro,

Don't you just need to use hte OFFSITE parameter in your LAYER description?
For example, the following would indicate that any pixel with the value 0
should be treated as NODATA.  The GDAL support in MapServer honours this,
at least for colormapped images.

   OFFSITE 0

PHP MapScript in MapServer 3.5 (release version) works only with
PHP4.0.6 ... for more details on the status of MapScript and PHP4.1.1,

Hi,

I noticed that IE's png viewer is quite a processor hog and would like to
find an alternative for that reason. Are you sure your lag time is on the
server side?

Hi List,

         Does any one know how to get the extent of a selected shape file. 

Please help me for this.

Thanks,

After I use mapscript to query my postgis layer in my map, the
postmaster that got run never dies/closes?

Anyone have any idea on why this might be happening?
Hhere is an exerpt of the offending mapscript code...

    //turn the point where the user clicked on the image into a lat/long
co-ordinate
        $pt = ms_newPointObj();
        $lat = get_lat($map->extent->minx, $map->extent->maxx, $img_x,
700);
        $long = get_long($map->extent->miny, $map->extent->maxy, $img_y,
350);
        $pt->setXY($lat, $long);
    //query the postgis layer
        $layer = $map->getLayer(5);
        $err = @$layer->queryByPoint($pt, MS_MULTIPLE, $missby);

        if($err == MS_FAILURE){
          echo "<font size=4 color=red>There were no results found, try
zooming in closer.</font>";
        }else if( $err == MS_SUCCESS){
          $layer->open($img->shapepath);
    //save the query results into an array
          $i=0;
          $result = $layer->getResult($i);
          while($result != FALSE && $i < 5){
            $shape = $layer->getShape($result->tileindex,
$result->shapeindex);
            $value = $shape->values;
            $val[$i] = $value;
            $i++;
            $result =  $layer->getResult($i);
          }
          $results_found =1;
        }
        $layer->close;



As well as the postgid layer in the mapfile:
LAYER
   CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
   NAME "mypostgis"
   DATA "point from usage_points"
   CONNECTION "host=ox user=postgres port=5555 dbname=postgis_usage"
   STATUS DEFAULT

   CLASS
    TEMPLATE query.html
    MINSIZE 10

ArcView: View->Properties->Area of Interest->Theme

AcrExplorer: Don't know how, but must be very similar to arcview.

PHP MapScript: 
<?php

	dl ('php_mapscript.so');

	$shapef = ms_newShapefileObj("/your_dir/your_file_without_extension",
			-1);
			
	for ($i=0;$i<$shapef->numshapes;$i++) {

		$extent = $shapef->getExtent($i);

		echo "$i.- MINX $extent->minx ";
		echo "MINY $extent->miny ";
		echo "MAXX $extent->maxx ";
		echo "MAXY $extent->maxy \n<br>\n";

	}

	$shapef->free();
?>

(From that output you should select the lowest minx and miny and the
highest maxx and maxy for you to use as a global extent for that
shapefile, that should be easy to obtain from the script above)

You can translate this to perl if you like and run it from the console.

I seem to recall that in some of the examples of Perl mapscript (from
the source tree: mapserver/mapscript/perl/examples) there was a perl
script that did exactly that.

The PostGIS connector should close the mapserver connection when the
msPOSTGISLayerClose()  method is called.

Your problem might be caused by mapserver not closing the layer.  It
could  also be caused by PostgreSQL not properly closing down in the
middle of a transaction (this shouldnt be a problem).

Good day

My name is Sergio Vallejo. I'm developing a site that uses soil 
maps. Actually, all the maps are images that we generate from 
shape files of ARcview. We would like to use MapServer to create 
a dynamic map interface to interrogate the databases.

All ours pages are in ASP/VBScript. 

Is their a simple solution in this case ?

Teb,

Postmaster is supposed to behave like that. It runs in the background and
fields requests. There's some great documentation on this at
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?postmaster-start.html.

The code you included regards a topic I've been wondering about - doing a
postgis query from a point selection. Hope to get something working there...

Tom

Are you referring to the postmaster or psql? Nobody should shut down 
postmaster except the postgres user or the OS, but if you have the psql 
monitor running, you will see a bunch of stuff. You can ignore it, hit 
<enter> to get back to the psql prompt, or just don't run psql.

I'd be reluctant to say what the "best" way to do it was, but you should 
read Ed McNierney excellent discussion of calling mapserver from an asp script:

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20020204212938.02016228@mail.GreenwoodMap.com>

I wish I kept better notes, but I edited the nmake.opt file in GDAL and added:

ECWDIR  =       E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mapserver\download\etc\ecw_sdk
ECWLIB  =   $(ECWDIR)\lib\NCSEcw.lib $(ECWDIR)\lib\NCSEcwC.lib \
                 $(ECWDIR)\lib\NCSUtil.lib

I compiled GDAL and tested for ecw functionality.

Then in the mapserver makefile.vc I added:

GDAL=-DUSE_GDAL
ECW_DIR = E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mapserver\download\etc\ecw_sdk\lib
GDAL_LIB=  $(GDAL_DIR)/gdal.lib $(ECW_DIR)\NCSEcwC.lib 
$(ECW_DIR)\NCSEcw.lib $(ECW_DIR)\NCSUtil.lib

Basically when I get an unresolved external, I search for files containing 
the referenced external string and try to include the library or object 
file that includes that string (this is the way an uneducated person solves 
this sort of problem, my apologies to those of you who know how to do it 
correctly).

I have one problem that I would like to ask:

one ) when I zoom in the map.
The code of the temaplate file is: (part of it of course)

Hi,

As you see I can try to use english.
I agree that there are more english users than french.
Perhaps we are not enought to make this forum working, I don't know.

But I don't want to exclude the english people and they can come and use 
the language they want.
This annonce is just a way to help frenchies who prefer speak french.

I use PhpBB and I've just translate the forum thema in english, then if you 
want, you can come.

A+, Jef

Bonjour Jef,

"pourquoi un forum en francais et ne pas english?"

As brought up by Puneet at the end of last year, a forum would be a good 
alternative for information and questions regarding Mapserver and 
everything related.

phpBB is a very good start as an alternative for the mailinglist. 
Discussions online tend to result in more interesting replies and remarks 
then from mailing-lists.

As i remember correct, users can set their language for phpBB to what they 
choose. The question and answers however should be done in english. As 
mapserver, mascript, mapfiles etc... are also english it's good to keep it 
all the same. Also for learning english it's a good start ;-)

If you switch to english, you can count me in as an extra member ;-)

Erwin



** PS. is there an english-forum regarding mapserver ?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Scalebar label
Message-ID: <000201c1ae49$58f80760$0200a8c0@plasma>

I'm relatively new to Mapserver and I'm attempting to implement Mapserver as on OGC WMS. I have two problems, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I've attached my mapfile definition at the bottom of the e-mail.

    1. I have defined a scalebar, which I'd like to embed in the map. This works fine however, I want to place some text (a copyright notice) next to the scalebar (i.e. along the bottom of the map). To do this I think I need to include a label entry in my scalebar definition, but I can't work out how to set the text I want to display.

    2. I have a vector layer which contains 136 polygons (name: 'boarders'). I'd like to make these semi-transparent, so you can still see the raster data in the layer below. Can you do this with Mapserver?

I'm using Mapserver 3.5 on Windows 2000.


Thanks in advance,

Andrew

uh?!?  Who said that everything around MapServer had to be in a single
language?

I would say that this forum is a good chance for MapServer users that
want to start learning and practicing French.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Scale calculation ? (Solved)
Message-ID: <7CDD7B94357FD5119E800002A537C46E22FE6B@s5-ccr-r1.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca>

Hello,

OK I figured out the problem.  I guess it was part me, part mapserver
behavior.

What I had done sometime last year was create a list of extents for various
places in Canada (Provinces/Territories/Major Cities) ...

That list works fine.

Then I took those same extents to apply them to a new tool I've got, and
started noticing the mentionned problems.  As you mentionned, the extent is
wrong.  The funny thing is , it still takes me to the right place!  In
retrospect, I'd like to remember how I came up with that extent below ... it
really shouldn't work I guess ... when I pass that extent to MapServer, I
get a map back drawn with completely different ones!

I'm guessing MapServer notices that some of them make no sense and then does
"something" to try and fix it ...

Anyways I found my way around it :)

Sorry about that ...

Thanks!
J.F.

If I read your extent right your x values are reversed (i.e. -1958558 is
smaller than -1442903).

Hello,

Im having  bit of problem, not really mapserver related, but with all
the
knowledgeable people here I thoguht I'd try :)

I've got the following map extent:

-1442903,1246771,-1958558,3366821

(These are Meters, LCC)

Now if I look at this extent with MapServer, it tells me the scale is:
15840015.370266 
(This with a GIF of 428x380)

Now if I use the following formula (Taken from the MapServer source):

    md = width/(resolution*inchesPerUnit[units]); // was (width-1)
    gd = extent.maxx - extent.minx;  

which translates into:

reqscale = ( -1958558 - -1442903 ) / ( 428 / ( 72 * 39.3701 ) )

in python

I consistently get a different result:-3415186.92036
(Or just take the positive version of this, whiich is what you get if
you
swap minx and miny)

Now the value MapServer returns is right ...

But what's wrong with MY calculation ??? I need to be able to get to
the
same number MapServer comes up with.  Up 'till now this was working
fine ...
but not anymore it seems :(

I'm no GIS guru, so any help figuring this out would be greatly
appreciated
:)

Thanks :)

Message-ID: <B318FD8D29DCD411BD0500D0B7A91C67E4CE15@jupiter>

I think it depends on how seamless you want this.  To simply replace your
static ArcView maps with dynamically generated mapserver maps, you can use
the itemquerymap feature of mapserver which will give you the url to the
generated map image and then use this as the source of your img tag -
something like this

<img
src="/mapserv/scripts/mapserv35.exe?map=mapfilegoeshere&qlayer=layer_to_quer
y&mode=itemquerymap&layer=layer1&layer=layer2&some_query_field=some_query_va
lue">

Where the arguments 

layer_to_query is the layer defined in your map file that has a filter set

some_query_field is the name of the query field you have defined
some_query_value is the value to zoom the map to.

If you want to get one step fancier, you can put an A Href around the map
image, which would take the user to the map.  The HREF would use mode
itemquery instead of itemquerymap.


Also note in your map file for the template you can use a URL instead of a
mapserver template which would allow your user to go to an ASP page when
they click on a feature instead of a mapserver generated page.  Your
template statement in your map file would then look something like

TEMPLATE
"http://mywebserver/mydynamicpage.asp?myfield=[afieldinmaplayerdatatable]"

If you want it very integrated with your ASP pages, then you would go with
Richard's suggestion.  I would like to add to Richard's suggestion that if
you don't want to spend the money on the ASPHttp component, you can achieve
the same trick using the ServerXMLHTTP component that is built into IIS 5
(IIS 4 you might have to download the XML pack form microsoft's site, but it
is free at anyrate).

The syntax to use that would be something like  (note you might want to
check the manual since my syntax may be a bit off)

mapServerURL =
"http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=mymapfile.map&layer=" &
layername
Set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
' Opens the connection to the remote server.  You can do a post instead if
you wish and the 
' send syntax would then be something like xmlhttp.send "text you want to
post"

xmlhttp.Open "GET", mapServerURL, False
xmlhttp.send

mapServerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText

I'd be reluctant to say what the "best" way to do it was, but you should 
read Ed McNierney excellent discussion of calling mapserver from an asp

I was encouriging it as an alternative to the mailinglist.

Thinking that the forum will be a bigger succes if english is the main 
language.
Starting also a dutch forum for example will spread the stuff over too many 
places.
Focussing on questions and answers on one place keeps stuff closer to each 
other.

Learning mapserver is hard enough, so skipping french for now ;-)

Ok, agree that the main source is comming in through the mailing-list. 
That's why i hoped to persuide to use english, so mapserver related 
discussiond don't swerve all over the internet.

English being a second language for most people, it's also the language 
used in most programming languages. As these are used a lot when working 
with mapserver, most are fumiliar with it. Maybe not writing, but reading 
it is less hard.

Can see lots of advantages/disadvantages between a forum and a mailinglist, 
but time and people's preferences will learn which one will be the one the 
user will prefer.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Scalebar label
Message-ID: <sc5fa57a.035@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

1) Use an inline layer to do this, something like:

LAYER
  NAME "copyright"
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TRANSFORM FALSE
  FEATURE
    POINTS 200 400 END # or wherever you want it
    TEXT "&copy; 2002 Your company"
  END
END

2) You can't do true transparency. You can do a hatched fill though
that has a similar effect. Try using a symbol like:

SYMBOL
   NAME 'hatch1'
   TYPE VECTOR
   POINTS
     0 0
     1 1
   END
END

>>> "Andrew" <ahaigh at ic24.net> 02/05/02 06:57AM >>>
I'm relatively new to Mapserver and I'm attempting to implement
Mapserver as on OGC WMS. I have two problems, so any help would be
greatly appreciated. I've attached my mapfile definition at the bottom
of the e-mail.

    1. I have defined a scalebar, which I'd like to embed in the map.
This works fine however, I want to place some text (a copyright notice)
next to the scalebar (i.e. along the bottom of the map). To do this I
think I need to include a label entry in my scalebar definition, but I
can't work out how to set the text I want to display.

    2. I have a vector layer which contains 136 polygons (name:
'boarders'). I'd like to make these semi-transparent, so you can still
see the raster data in the layer below. Can you do this with Mapserver?

I'm using Mapserver 3.5 on Windows 2000.


Thanks in advance,

Andrew

uh?!?  Who said that everything around MapServer had to be in a single
language?

I would say that this forum is a good chance for MapServer users that
want to start learning and practicing French.

Subject: [mapserver-users] php/mapscript. error in getlayerbyname
Message-ID: <3C600C5F.571E513B@crs4.it>

I am porting (finally!) my old apps to 3.5, and I am gradually ironing
out some of the issues in the transition from 3.4

I have a .map file which is processed properly by php/mapscript (if I
just request a $map->draw() it is ok.

However I get a problem with getLayerByName: this is ok with some of the
layers, but returns an error with some of the others.

=========================
Warning: MapServer Error in : in c:\data\htdocs/mia/if/htdocs/t.php on
line 7

Fatal error: getLayerByName failed for : s1 in
c:\data\htdocs/mia/if/htdocs/t.php on line 7
======================

Maybe I am missing something in the .map file translation ?

TIA and regards,

I try to go to that docs page, and guess what.
"Warning: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: Sorry, too many clients
already in /usr/local/www/www/idocs/opendb.php on line 3 Unable to access
database"

fairly ironic I thought... :-)

Apparently either they happen to have a busy website, or else they are
experiencing the same problem as me??

I don't think that a postmaster process is supposed to spawn every time I query
something AND then never die. I'll agree with the first half, it is supposed to
be created each time to access the database , but then it should die sometime
soon after that as opposed to sitting there idle never doing anything again
until there are max_connections used and none available so that everything is
locked.

Thanks though, I will definitely read those docs and see what might be happening
as soon as the website is available...

i had compile mapserver with this options:

I'm was having this trouble:

make: *** [shp2img] Error 1 

so, as suggest, i exchange lPDF to lpdf and now i had this trouble:

shp2pdf.o: In function `main':

Anybody could help me fix it?

The EXTENT in the map object is the extent for the map to be created.
Most of the time it is always changing depending on what a user wants.
The value set in the map file in effect sets a default extent.

The EXTENT in the reference object defines the area shown in the
reference map and is a fixed value.

Subject: [mapserver-users] 3.5: how to handle empty DATA layers which were accepted in 3.4
Message-ID: <3C60F109.398E46DF@crs4.it>

Hi,

With 3.4 one of the approaches to draw points dynamically from a
database
was to have in the map file an layer without a DATA definition, which
was then populated with calls to $point->draw().

Apparently layers read by 3.5 MUST have a DATA property assigned.

The issue arises as I am using point data stored in an MS Access file.

Can a layer be appropriately defined in 3.5 in order achieve the same
result with the same logic ?

I know that 3.5 allows much more connectivity towards databases, but for
this specific application (which is in fact a demo) I would like to
avoid porting also the data.

Regards,

 Steve,
	I use mapserver 3.5.1 and OVERLAYSYMBOL / OVERLAYOUTLINECOLOR for setting
polygon outline symbols. It is great but I am not able to scale
outlinesymbol via SYMBOLSCALE / MAXSIZE / MINSIZE parameters in map file.
Does mapserver support it?

	Wouldn't be better to have different syntax for outlines e.g.:
OUTLINESIZE / OUTLINESYMBOL/ OUTLINECOLOR etc. instead of current one?

	Is there any documentation to CARTO symbols on the MS web site?

Thank you

Stepan Kafka

Subject: [mapserver-users] outline symbols scaling
Message-ID: <sc611a70.005@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

A brave soul. Overlay symbols *should* be treated just like regular ones
with regards to symbolscale. You use overlayminscale and overlaymaxscale
to control sizing.

I'll take your other suggestion under advisement. That was the plan at
one point but was dropped in favor of the current scheme in order to
limit the number of potential parameter names and to simplify coding.

The symbol type is actually CARTOLINE and that code was committed a
couple of days ago (written by Tomas Krecmer). It's experimental at this
point but does appear to work. Basically CARTOLINEs are used for solid
lines only. They are far more efficient than using brushes since lines
are converted to polygons and then filled- pixel values are set only
once as opposed to the many times required using a brush. This also
allows for a variety of line joins and caps. New parameters are:

  - new symbol type CARTOLINE
  - symbol option LINECAP with values BUTT, ROUND, SQUARE, TRIANGLE
default is BUTT
  - symbol option LINEJOIN with values NONE, ROUND, MITER, BEVEL
default is ROUND
  - symbol option LINEJOINMAXSIZE [integer] (pixels I think) default is
3

An example would be

  SYMBOL
    NAME 'roads'
    TYPE CARTOLINE
    LINEJOIN MITER
    LINECAP ROUND
  END

Dashes and such are not supported with this symbol type at this time.
Again, totally new code right now and probably still needs tuning.

Armin - that is slick!
I followed your instructions on the document you have online and it worked
the first time!
I'm running mapserver locally and it is almost instantaneous - faster than
loading the data over our network.
If anyone hasn't tried it out - I highly recommend it.  I was thinking
about this a while back and now you've done it :)

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Hello MapServer users,

if anyone of you is interested in an ArcView 3.x extension to access
MapServer services: I wrote an extension that dynamically loads MapServer
layers as image themes into ArcView.

Unfortunately I cannot offer the extension as Open Source because it shares
plenty of code with a commercial extension of my company. If anybody would
like to try it, though (I regard it as 'freeware'): you can download it at
http://digilander.iol.it/arminburger/avmapserv.html There you'll find also
a
short description how to use it.

Message-ID: <sc611f44.085@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Layer handling was one of the biggest things that changed between
releases. So there may still be quirks. The point and shape draw methods
don't rely on the DATA element at all though. They just assume that you
have a valid shape with all the structural elements properly populated.

If you do a layer/map draw then you need valid DATA or inline features
but it sounds like you're not doing that.

Are you getting an error as the mapfile is parsed, when the draw method
is executed or what? I do what it to work as you've described.

Andrea,

What you need, as Steve mentioned, is to defined an empty inline feature in
your mapfile. Like this:

layer
  name 'my_point_layer'
  type point
  feature end # here's the trick
  class
     color 0 0 0
  end
end

I figured out what you're doing in your app because, by what you described,
it's similar to what I'm doing in one of my apps, except that I generate my
data from a text file =)

Cheers,
Rod.

Layer handling was one of the biggest things that changed between
releases. So there may still be quirks. The point and shape draw methods
don't rely on the DATA element at all though. They just assume that you
have a valid shape with all the structural elements properly populated.

If you do a layer/map draw then you need valid DATA or inline features
but it sounds like you're not doing that.

Are you getting an error as the mapfile is parsed, when the draw method
is executed or what? I do what it to work as you've described.

Hi,

With 3.4 one of the approaches to draw points dynamically from a
database
was to have in the map file an layer without a DATA definition, which
was then populated with calls to $point->draw().

Apparently layers read by 3.5 MUST have a DATA property assigned.

The issue arises as I am using point data stored in an MS Access file.

Can a layer be appropriately defined in 3.5 in order achieve the same
result with the same logic ?

I know that 3.5 allows much more connectivity towards databases, but
for
this specific application (which is in fact a demo) I would like to
avoid porting also the data.

Regards,

Tom,

I will try to add WMS support, mainly for requesting available layers and a
better identify function. This has to be done via the DLL that communicates
with the server. At the moment it is absolutely simple structured and only
downloads the requested image via the URL. I'll see how easy it is to
implement the new functions. And first I'd have to set up a working WMS
MapServer.

Hello all.

First of all, thank you for your help with the Angle labels.

Now, I'm looking for documentation or examples about queries to DBF files.
I use ArcView files (Shp, DBF, Shx) and i would like to show some points 
from a query in a map.
Someone know where I can find something about it?.


Thank you,

Regards!
Fran.

Hi all,

I don't know if it's clear. I want to change the line width.
Can anyone help me?

Nacho,

This is easy to do. In the layer definition add
LAYER
 ....
 CLASS
   SYMBOL 'circle'
   SIZE 3
 END
END

The size is the weight of the line.

You shouldn't have to do this though. What symtoms are you experiencing
if you leave out the empty feature? What does your code look like?

I am using Mapserver 3.4, and these solutions do not work.  The
first simply fills the polygon with circles, while the second
does a solid fill for the polygon.  Is this a 3.4 versus 3.5
issue?  How does mapserver distinguish between what to use to
draw the outline of the polygon and what to use to fill the
polygon?  For example, in the first solution below, how does
mapserver know whether the polygon should be outlined using the
circle symbol or filled with the circle symbol?

Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but I could not find it in
the either the 3.3 doc or the 3.5 doc.  Thanks!

Hi,
I've compiled MS 3.5 with gdal:
Banshee[284] pushkar$ mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=TIFF
INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

But when I try to display 24 bit tiff I get the foll. msg.:
drawTIFF(): Image handling error. Only colormapped and grayscale images
are supported.
This is the info. for my tiff file
Banshee[293] pushkar$ identify data/24bmosaic2001mstm.tif
data/24bmosaic2001mstm.tif 5167x3675 DirectClass 54mb TIFF 3.6u 0:25

I've gdal1.1.5 and this is the info. for it:

I have the tfw file also: 24bmosaic2001mstm.tfw

**My ques. is do I have to disable TIFF support if I compile mapserver
with GDAL? Maybe the default behaviour of MS is to use the tiff libs. read
the tiff imgs. and not try to use GDAL after that?

Yes, it has changed. Now both TEMPLATE, HEADER and FOOTER definitions go
inside the QUERY object of each LAYER object, but I think what Fran is
trying to do is to query a database that gets some records with
Latitude/Longitud data within the returned fields and plot them over an
existing map. Could somebody tell us (I want to do the same) how to do that?

That's what classes are for. So if you have a variable named population
and you want all features with a value greater than 5000 you'd do
something like

CLASS
  NAME 'Cities with more the 5000 people in them.'
  EXPRESSION ([POPULATION] > 5000)

The net effect is that only those features matching the expression (a
query) are drawn. You can build these expressions dynamically or
hardcode them in a map file. I believe the mapfile how-to explains the
variety of expressions that you can do.

Is this sort of what you're looking for?

Yes, it has changed. Now both TEMPLATE, HEADER and FOOTER definitions
go
inside the QUERY object of each LAYER object, but I think what Fran is
trying to do is to query a database that gets some records with
Latitude/Longitud data within the returned fields and plot them over
an

that?

Hi,
I am giving you an example from MS 3.3 I don't know whether it is
changed,
but you will get an idea of a simple query.
QUERYMAP
  SIZE 200 200
  STATUS ON
  STYLE HILITE
  COLOR 255 0 0
END
This will enable query for only this layer:
LAYER
  NAME majr
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS ON
  DATA majr

  CLASS
    NAME "Major Rivers"
    COLOR 0 0 255
  END

  HEADER "majr_header.html"
  FOOTER "majr_footer.html"
  QUERY
    TEMPLATE "majr.html"
  END

  TOLERANCE 5
END # end of layer object - major rivers
The majr.html is the main file here which contains attrib. from your
.dbf file:
<tr><td>[LENGTH]</td><td>[MAJR_]</td><td>[MAJR_ID]</td><td>[NAME]</td><td>[R
NUM]
</td></tr>
length, name etc.. are attribs. from the dbf file.

Not exactly. I've used classes for that matter, but what I have is a dynamic
database that is growing daily and in each record I have lat/long
coordinates that should be added to the map without having to generate a new
shapefile every time records are added.

Thank you very much

That's what classes are for. So if you have a variable named population
and you want all features with a value greater than 5000 you'd do
something like

CLASS
  NAME 'Cities with more the 5000 people in them.'
  EXPRESSION ([POPULATION] > 5000)
  COLOR 255 0 0
END

The net effect is that only those features matching the expression (a

Pushkar,

If you want to use GDAL for your TIFF files you need to configure and
build MapServer without direct TIFF support or the direct TIFF support
will get used in preference.  I have been sort of intending to change
the configure to disable TIFF support (unless explicitly requested during
the configure) if GDAL is configured in, but haven't gotten around to it.

There is a good example of this in the gmap application. You can

Message-ID: <OFEC83954C.B5231326-ON80256B5A.004F3EBD@clacks.gov.uk>

I'm a new Mapserver user, and not a geographer, so this may be a simple 
question! Any help would be most gratefully received.

I've compiled v3.5 with PROJ4 support and the demo works beautifully.

I have a shapefile with data of my local area, Clackmannanshire in 
Scotland. My problem is how to get this data to display. I'm fairly sure 
it has something to do with projections, but that's where my understanding 
runs dry.

So, how do I determine:

a) What extent values to use
b) What values to put in the PROJECTION block in the .map file?

I've taken EXTENT values from ArcView based on UK OS grid references, and 
I've tried this for projection, based on my scant understanding, but no 
data is displayed:

PROJECTION
  "proj=tmerc"
  "ellps=airy"
  "zone=31"
  "north"
  "no_defs"
END

This library is *excellent* for manipulating polygons.

If there are any developers on this list who would
like to work on using JTS to manipulate SHP files,
or similar related tasks, I would be glad to join
a project at SourceForge...

This is my first post--I just found MapServer two
weeks ago and I'm astounded by the current power and
future potential of this piece of open source software.

Daniel,

The UK National Grid should be represented as:

PROJECTION
   "proj=tmerc"
   "lat_0=49.000000000"
   "lon_0=-2.000000000"
   "k=0.999601"
   "x_0=400000.000"
   "y_0=-100000.000"
   "ellps=airy"
   "towgs84=375,-111,431,0,0,0,0"
END

The "towgs84" portion is only necessary if you will have data in other
datums.

Best regards,

Hi,

I queried for a map from my cubeview interface.

The mapserver url is: 
http://www.cgq-qgc.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv_35s.exe?map=d:\webcgq\hydrolink\public

this map works fine when calling it from the mapserver itself. but when i
call it through the cubeview interface it gives me an error like the
following one:

msProcessProjection(): no options found in 'init' file.

I tried the getCapabilities and the xml I received looks good.
does anyone has an idea of what the problem may be?

SO i think the answer to this is to use class expression to get teh colors
you want.

However i wish to ask further......

For expression not random.. but lets say i have some data zip that is
basically
77777
77788
77478
88983

And i want them to be red if even and blue if odd....
QUESTION

Frank,
Thanks for confirming my doubt about disabling TIFF support:
so now my MS config. says:
Banshee[51] pushkar$ mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=JPEG INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE
But to my horror now I am unable to read either 8 or 24 bit TIFFs, I get
the foll. error:
msDrawRaster(): Image handling error. Unrecognized or unsupported image
format
and when I try to display colored jpegs also it doesn't work:
drawJPEG(): Unable to access file. Only grayscale JPEG images are
supported.
This is my path:
Banshee[91] pushkar$  echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/local/gnu/lib:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/ucblib:/usr/local/netpbm/lib:/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/gdal-1.1.5
i.e. I have given the path to the gdal dir.

I don't believe there is a mod operator in the expression code. Could be
added, and if you'd care to add that as a bug that would be appreciated.
There is however a workaround using regex, this might work:

CLASSITEM zip
CLASS
  EXPRESSION /[13579]$/   # anything ending in an odd number
  COLOR 255 0 0
END
CLASS
  COLOR 0 0 255   # no need for expression, this becomes the default
END

SO i think the answer to this is to use class expression to get teh
colors
you want.

However i wish to ask further......

For expression not random.. but lets say i have some data zip that is
basically
77777
77788
77478
88983

And i want them to be red if even and blue if odd....
QUESTION
how can i use mod in the expression

EXPRESSION [zip]%2==0 red
EXPRESSION [zip]%2==1 blue?

You can use CLASSes to map your attribute values to colors. This is not
a random process unless the attribute itself is populated randomly.

You should look at the gmap example by DM Solutions it's at
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/gmap-ms35-release.tar.gz

For that to work you should define METADATA with the fields you want to be 
displayed for the layers you want to query.

And don't forget to set a TEMPLATE for each layer you
want to be queried.

(This is the next thing i'll put on the by example HOWTO).

If you just want to draw the state outlines and labels, don't use
TIGER-- use files from nationalatlas.gov .  If you need street level
data for the whole US, then tiger is the way to go.  Nationalatlas
should have just one layer for states-- setup your .map file for just
one layer and off you go.

A note on the jpeg support. Jpeg sucks for spatial data and really sucks
for uses like MapServer. To access the lower righthand corner of the
image you must decompress the entire image so performance is less than
stellar. The support was added for B&W DOQ images as distributed by
USGS. (We later converted all of our DOQ imagery to TIFF for performance
reasons.)It's use is discouraged.

Note that I don't believe there is such a thing as a color mapped (i.e.
8-bit) JPEG image (due to the compression) which is why only greyscale
images are supported.

It's also worth considering using cron to run a script to dump from the
main datasource (Oracle, flat file or whatever) to a shapefile. Perhaps
it's not as slick, but it's likely better for performance and may allow
you to use the CGI version of the MapServer- less code to write (beyond
the converter).

Francisco,

One simple solution to your problem is is to store your point data in a
postgres database and use postgis to display your dynamic info. We have
got an application that does this and it works fine.

Not exactly. I've used classes for that matter, but what I have is a
dynamic
database that is growing daily and in each record I have lat/long
coordinates that should be added to the map without having to generate a
new
shapefile every time records are added.

Thank you very much

That's what classes are for. So if you have a variable named population
and you want all features with a value greater than 5000 you'd do
something like

CLASS
  NAME 'Cities with more the 5000 people in them.'
  EXPRESSION ([POPULATION] > 5000)
  COLOR 255 0 0
END

The net effect is that only those features matching the expression (a
query) are drawn. You can build these expressions dynamically or
hardcode them in a map file. I believe the mapfile how-to explains the
variety of expressions that you can do.

Is this sort of what you're looking for?

Yes, it has changed. Now both TEMPLATE, HEADER and FOOTER definitions
go
inside the QUERY object of each LAYER object, but I think what Fran is
trying to do is to query a database that gets some records with
Latitude/Longitud data within the returned fields and plot them over

Hi,
I am giving you an example from MS 3.3 I don't know whether it is
changed,
but you will get an idea of a simple query.
QUERYMAP
  SIZE 200 200
  STATUS ON
  STYLE HILITE
  COLOR 255 0 0
END
This will enable query for only this layer:
LAYER
  NAME majr
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS ON
  DATA majr

  CLASS
    NAME "Major Rivers"
    COLOR 0 0 255
  END

  HEADER "majr_header.html"
  FOOTER "majr_footer.html"
  QUERY
    TEMPLATE "majr.html"
  END

  TOLERANCE 5
END # end of layer object - major rivers
The majr.html is the main file here which contains attrib. from your
.dbf file:
<tr><td>[LENGTH]</td><td>[MAJR_]</td><td>[MAJR_ID]</td><td>[NAME]</td><t
d>[R
NUM]
</td></tr>
length, name etc.. are attribs. from the dbf file.
_header.html: (only for html presentation)

<table cellpadding=5 cellspacing=2 border=0>
<tr

With mapscript you can create a layer and a shape in that layer. You can
obtain the data from a database or DBF file (with, for instance, the Perl 
or PHP native methods) and define a Shape with the obtained data, and finally 
add the shape to a layer and draw it.

You can look at the Mapscript documentation to form you an idea of
what's it about.

For a prototype that involved using Mapscript to display complex polygon
layers, and dynamic generation of new layers with data stored in
a database and queries on the shapefiles it ended up taking an average 
response time of 2 seconds on a P4 1.5, 1GB RAM and SCSI (don't know 
SCSI what that is, sorry) disks.

On the other side, a basic application, that only displays static layers
and queries on them, on a P2 350 with 128MB RAM and IDE disks, it took
up an average response time of app. 1 second.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I wanted to go to street level mapping in the 
coming days, but I wanted to start with atleast the US and state boundaries 
with Interstates on it now. I have downloaded the Tiger Line 2000 data for 
Illinois. I have installed OGR and I am able to see the information through 
ogrinfo. But, how to I write template file and .map file with layers ? I 
would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks
Sathis

Sathis,

If you expect to get more than a few token hits on your server for
demonstration purposes, you need to seriously consider translating the
tigerline data to shape files as you will have big performance problems
otherwise. If you ever plan to expand your data beyond one state you
will need to use shapefiles also. The Census offers a bunch of boundary
shapefiles now on its website for download, I don't think they have the
street level files. Here are two layer definitions I use in my map file
that might help, but I use shapefiles not OGR:

LAYER
  NAME county
  MAXSCALE 799999
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS ON
  TILEINDEX "tgrindex"
  DATA county
  CLASS
    NAME "Counties"
    COLOR -1 -1 -1
    OUTLINECOLOR 128 128 128
  END

  END

  HEADER "html/cty_header.html"

I use shp files as well for the tiger line files-- I converted the files
to shp using tgr2shp (www.gistools.com).  THat was a while ago, I don't
know if there are any other methods or if there are freely available shp
files with all of the tiger data (tgr2shp cost something like $100 and
only runs on Windows-- I had to setup samba to get my windows machine to
process the data on the linux server).

Bonjour Annie,

This error means that an "EPSG:xxxx" code that you're trying to use is
not defined in your EPSG file... I looked at your server's capabilities
and it advertizes projection "EPSG:42304" for layer
"BAS1860:cubestor"... but if you try using it then you get the error
that you reported, so this projection is probably not defined in your
EPSG file.

EPSG codes in the range 42000-42999 are not standard: they are just
custom codes that CubeWerx decided to use to deal with common canadian
projections (LCC in this case) which were not available in the standard
EPSG list... if you want to use those codes then you'll have to define
them yourself.  Here are the definitions for EPSG:42101, 42102, and
42304 which we often use also:

## Custom projection codes
##
## WGS84 / LCC Canada
<42101> +proj=lcc +ellps=WGS84 +lat_0=0 +lon_0=-95 +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77
+x_0=0 +y_0=-8000000.0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m no_defs <>
## NAD83 / BC Albers
<42102> +proj=aea +ellps=GRS80 +lat_0=45 +lon_0=-126.0 +lat_1=50.0
+lat_2=58.5 +x_0=1000000.0 +y_0=0 +datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <>
#
## NAD83 LCC for Canada
<42304> +proj=lcc +ellps=GRS80 +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-95 +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77
+datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <>


You could also download a copy of the epsg file with those 3 codes in it
at http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/proj4-epsg-with-42xxx.zip

Mostly:
o The "NAME" Tag of the mapfile defined the start of the file name(s)
o Using the CGI-Parameter "ID" you can replace the uniq session id based
  on system time and process id by an identifier of your choice. 
o The "leg", "ref" etc will still remain to differentiate the images
  generated within one session.

See 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/mapfile-reference.html
and
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/cgi-reference.html
for more details.

        Frank

Howdy,
 
This is my map page and i wish to have some queries on the dbf.
 
One query is the click a point on map..
 
The other would be to search the map via a form textfield.
 
How does one do this?  Is there any laymens documentation out there>?
 
Attached is my map file.
 
Thanks so much,

Subject: [mapserver-users] Shape files and Raster data
Message-ID: <sc679a62.055@MAIL>


Greetings!

Having a strange problem.  My shape files and raster data overlay
pretty well until I zoom in really close.  Then it seems that the raster
data only zooms in one direction, and I loose the alignment between the
shape files and the raster.  For an example see this:


http://maps.ci.lubbock.tx.us/cgi-bin/msv35/mapserv.exe?mode=browse&zoomdir=1&zoomsize=2&imgxy=299.5+299.5&imgext=946020.193585+7273854.347198+948737.547086+7276574.423406&map=%2Fhttpd%2Fmaps%2Fsp83%2Fgis%2Forthov35.map&name=%5Bname%5D&img.x=380&img.y=402


Then try zooming in one more time.  I'm running v 3.5 on Windows 2000
as  downloaded.  The raster is tiled, State Plane 83 Texas North Central
in feet from jpegs.

Any ideas?

Hello all,

I'm trying to run mapserver's PHP/mapscript 3.5 release under solaris 
sparc (on a blade 100 running the latest solaris release).

Sor far i've got everything to compile using GNU tools.

GDAL 1.1.5 and CVS compile only when using every internal libs version.

The problem is that when i try to use the mapscript php module i get a 
segmentation fault.

Here's the back trace that gdb gave me :

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

That doesn't help me much...

Is there a way to have more information on where the probleme resides?

The php code used try to load PNG images...

Thanks in advance

We are running a test server for getting to know mapserver and it runs
okay.
The server is a pentium 120Mhz with 64 MB RAM - not a recommended
production server, but it works for me at the moment.
I have the mapserver demo data (itasca county) running, the data is stored
in a postgis database.  With all the layers turned on, I get an average
response time over our network of 3-4 seconds (I think it was 2 by using
shape files instead of postgis, but I'm not sure at this moment).
I also have mapserver running on my workstation, a Pentium 4 - 1.5Ghz with
256 MB RAM.  I'm running more than just the demo data, including a 75MB
satellite image and I get <1 second response on average.  Required hard
disk space is dependent upon the size of your spatial/tabular datasets
(plus some temporary storage space).

Hi, why 6.2?

> - How are your hardware mapserver specification now? (CPU, RAM,
> HARDDISK, MOTHERBOARD)

For a prototype that involved using Mapscript to display complex polygon
layers, and dynamic generation of new layers with data stored in
a database and queries on the shapefiles it ended up taking an average
response time of 2 seconds on a P4 1.5, 1GB RAM and SCSI (don't know
SCSI what that is, sorry) disks.

On the other side, a basic application, that only displays static layers
and queries on them, on a P2 350 with 128MB RAM and IDE disks, it took
up an average response time of app. 1 second.

Hi Listers,

I'm having hundred .dxf files which I need to diplay within a mapserver
application. Is there a possibility?


One more problem: The .dxf files need to be updated sometimes...

 Any help appreciated!


Thanks a lot

Peter

Steve, Thanks for your help. I have downloaded shapefiles from 
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/st2000.html which are state boundary 
shape files. I tried to tweek the demo to work with that data. But I 
don't see anything on the maparea. The shape files are like st01_d00.xxx 
. There are three files per state. The following are my files.

David,

Your world files have rotational coefficients which I don't think are handled
well by MapServer's built in JPEG support (or most other raster formats) support.
It should be handled properly if you use the GDAL library in MapServer, though
you will also have to ensure that PROJ.4 support is enabled - even if you
don't use it directly.

If the MapServer raster resampling logic (GDAL specific) is actually kicking in
you should see a message about "msResampleGDALToMap() in effect" in your logs.

Best regards,

I am working with more than one area in my map file. I need to place all the
land in one layer. I have 8 different shape files for different areas of the
map. Is it possible to join them in one layer. If so can you give me some
example code to combine them. I am trying to make my map open faster. Will
this help or hurt? I just found out by reading off of your  homepage that
joins are only availabe in Queries. So is it possible to join these files
using my .map file in a layer?

Sathis,

The EXTENT in the map file is wrong. The census data is in Decimal
Degrees so it should look like

EXTENT -180.0 -90.0 180.0 90.0

which will cover the whole globe, you can set these numbers smaller
based on the real extents of you shapefile.

Subject: [mapserver-users] moving from version 3.3 to 3.5
Message-ID: <00c501c1b32b$00f3d530$0a29070a@002412S>

First, I am impressed with the WMS Client and Server capabilities, great Job.


I have been attempting to move from mapserver version 3.3 to 3.5 and I am having some trouble with my map files.
Some layers do not appear in v3.5 which work fine in 3.3

I have changed all the things I can find in the documentation but I must be missing something.

FONTS:
I have fixed 
 Filled     ==>  Filled True
 Antialias ==> Antialias True

SYMBOLS:
-   downloaded the 3.4 combined symbolset and removed the Shadeset/Markerset/Lineset definitions
   The 3.4 symbolset referenced in Mapserver FAQ at 
   http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/symbols-for-ms34.sym  caused more problems
  because the Filled parameter does not have the True qualifier. Fixed that.

- In the symbol file the SYMBOL name need to be in quotes
   i.e. SYMBOL circle ==> SYMBOL 'circle'

QUERIES:
  I moved my TEMPLATE 'URL   query  objects to the CLASS objects
  - All my queries seem to work fine.

There is a new parameter in the LAYER object for gouping layers, which I had done in the past by reusing the layer name. 
 I gave all unique names and used the GROUP parameter. This does not seem to make any difference because I have map files 
 which use the multiple layers with the same name and map files which use unique layer names and the GROUP parameter and both work.

 How important is it that I follow the new GROUP parameter and use unique LAYER names?


Projections:
 I am not setting any projection information yet so this should not affect my files.

 Are there other changes which I have missed?
 Is there a comprehensive list of the changes from version 3.3 to 3.4 to 3.5?


ARCSDE Question:
Does anyone have a win32 build of mapserver 3.5 for windows 2000 with:
input support for shapefiles, TIFF/GeoTIFF, and JPEG and GIF output. 
input support for GDAL (and OGR) as well as WMS client (and server) compliance. 
and ARCSDE 8.1
this would be equivalent to the full meal deal.

thanks

Tony,

You don't need to join them into one file, in fact is not the most
efficent way to handle them. Put them all in a directory and run tile4ms
utility on them to create a tileindex and then make a layer that uses
the tileindex. If the shapefiles have a lot of data in them, you might
also want to generate a spatial index for each shape file using the
shptree utility.

Hope this helps,

Steve,

Is there a way to look at the contents of shapefile or its realted file 
to know what is in it ?

Yes, there are two utility programs the come with shapelib (dbfdump and
shpdump) that are comand line utilities (on Windows you have to run them
from a DOS window) dbfdump prints all the attributes from the .dbf file
and shpdump prints the shapefile extents and then all the coordinate
info for every shape in the shape file.

Message-ID: <015b01c1b335$c9955450$0a29070a@002412S>


I am attempting to setup a OGC WMS server and when I test it with mapserver using
http://gis.geosurv.gov.nf.ca/cgi-bin/mapservwms.exe?map=d:/data/wms/nfldgeol.map

It works fine but when I try it using the CudeWerx server I get the layer information, the details about the layer and the available projection and image type but I do not get the map displayed. If anyone has experience with this type of problem I can send you my map file.

The getcapabilities function appears to be correct.

GIS 101 Question:

I have a street layer shape file in decimal degrees and would like to overlay that on the parcel shapefile which is in feet.

Parcel Layer:

Question:

What are options in making these two files work together in the same view? (i.e. convert the shape file, or add a world file, projection file?)  

If you could elaborate a little on the solutions that would be great (i.e. conversion suggestion, or world file conversion example).

Thank you very much.

Steve,

MapServer can already handle this situation without the need to convert
your files if you have PROJ4 built into your mapserver which would be a
good thing. In the mapfile there is a PROJECTION ... END section that
can be added before the LAYER definition in which case it is interperted
as the output project to use when you display your map. This is NOT the
section you need for your problem.

When you define a LAYER if you include a PROJECTION ... END section
which defines the current projection of the data defined in the data
files for this specific layer. So you would have to know (in any case)
what the projection parameters are for the data in your shape file, then
define layers like:

LAYER
  NAME streets
  ...
  PROJECTION
    "proj=latlong"
    # you might optionally need to define the ellps and other params
    "ellps=grs80"
  END
  ...
END

LAYER
  NAME parcel
  ...
  PROJECTION
    "proj=utm"
    ...
  END
  ...
END

I hope this helps,

Subject: [mapserver-users] Slow response time + Apache/IIS - newbie!
In-Reply-To: <20020209051850.A22609@landsat.cprsig.cl>
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0202112036550.10035-100000@ugnode1.ecs.soton.ac.uk>

Hi there,

Two questions which I feel are of a particularly newbie nature:-


Firstly, I've been evaluating Mapserver 3.5 for a short time now, having
managed to successfully install the itasca demo using Apache + the Win32
binaries available from the Mapserver homepage.

Since then I've managed to compile my own Mapserver 3.5 under Cygwin, but
the problem is that the response is really slow. When I exchange the Win32
precompiled binary with my Cygwin version, Mapserver takes about 15 secs
to send back a new page! After clicking on the itasca map, the process
seems to halt without sending back any headers or generating any PNG files
in the temp directory for about 15s. Then suddenly it springs into life
and returns the completed image.

I have a feeling that I've done something wrong during the compilation
stage but I don't know what - does anyone have any ideas???


Secondly, the precompiled Win32 binaries work under IIS whereas my Cygwin
version only works under Apache. Does that mean to get Mapserver to work
under IIS I need to recompile with MS VC++ instead?


Cheers,

Mark.

Anyone have any good pointers.

Steve,

MapServer can already handle this situation without the need to convert
your files if you have PROJ4 built into your mapserver which would be a
good thing. In the mapfile there is a PROJECTION ... END section that
can be added before the LAYER definition in which case it is interperted
as the output project to use when you display your map. This is NOT the
section you need for your problem.

When you define a LAYER if you include a PROJECTION ... END section
which defines the current projection of the data defined in the data
files for this specific layer. So you would have to know (in any case)
what the projection parameters are for the data in your shape file, then
define layers like:

LAYER
  NAME streets
  ...
  PROJECTION
    "proj=latlong"
    # you might optionally need to define the ellps and other params
    "ellps=grs80"
  END
  ...
END

LAYER
  NAME parcel
  ...
  PROJECTION
    "proj=utm"
    ...
  END
  ...
END

I hope this helps,
  -Steve W.

Does anyone other than Cubewerx have a publically accessible server that
could be used to test new WMS servers?
I'm thinking of this because so many of us WMS newbies would like to try
out our server but have had problems with cubewerx, it seems.

Thanks guys it works great. Thanks for your help. Yet another question. 
I downloaded shapefiles from nationalatlas.gov. In the state boundaries 
map, it has all the states in one shapefile. Is there a way to ignore 
Alaska,  U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, etc keeping just the mainland 
US ?

No, sadly there is not a nice easy-to-read list of options. They seem to
be sprinkled throughout the manual. EPSG codes are the easiest: if your
projection is in the epsg list (12345, say), handing proj4 an
"init=12345" will give you that EPSG projection.

% man proj
or
% info proj

but I still reccomend the manuals

also don't forget 

% proj -l[p|P|=|e|u|d} id

ie 
projections < short > -lp  < long >  -lP
units -lu
ellipse -le
datum -ld

Yes, you can set you EXTENTS in the mapfile to just cover the mainland.

Hello all.

Thanks for your help.

I would like to make queries to a DBF file from an input textbox in a html 
page.
(<input type="text" name="textfield">).

I have a points SHP file (with dbf). I want to put a name into the textbox, 
mapserv finds the point (in DBF file) and show it in a map.

Is it possible with mapserver? I don't know.

Someone has had the same problem?.
Could you help me?.

Thank you.

Regards.
Fran.

there a way to make a tile database for shapefiles?

Thanks

Hi Listers,

I'm having hundred .dxf files which I need to diplay within a mapserver

One more problem: The .dxf files need to be updated sometimes...

HI Pedro,
  max image size is 1024x1024 pixels. You may change this value
(MS_MAXIMGSIZE) in map.h file and recompile the mapserver.

Subject: [mapserver-users] ecw support
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20020212065651.020c7a40@mail.GreenwoodMap.com>

A couple people have asked for a compiled mapserver with ecw support. I've 
put one at:
http://www.greenwoodmap.com/mapserver/
It contains the mapserver.exe and also the ecw dll's which should be copied 
to your \winnt\system32 directory.

Ecw only works on windows. My experience is that it works great with 
grayscale imagery, but I found the colors in color imagery to be a little 
funky.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Something crazy is going on please advise......
Message-ID: <002401c1b3da$0b14f5d0$7201010a@localhost.atser>

Ok so hopefully the subject has MADE you want to know what is going on.
 
READ ON>>>>
 
Background information:
I am creating a simple mapserver project with query and projection.  My
shp files are mostly nad27 and then i have a couple layers of wgs84.
And the projection works fine.  The main projection is nad27 and then on
the layers that are wgs84 we project.
 
Problem:
I am trying to get my query to output information.  Therefore i added
the appropriate class and metadata to my layer.  It was a wgs84 layer.
I finish and then refresh the page and the query information shows up on
bottom from the refresh of past click, HOWEVER all teh sudded all the
points on the layer dissapear.  I comment out the query class and then
refresh the page with the same information and then the points are back,
HOWEVER the query information is gone!
 
Therfore i think it must be my map file and the query class.  SO i mess
with it for hours with no luck.
 
THEN i think maybe i should try it on a nad27 layer as that is the "non
projected" layer.  
 
I do this and it works fine!!!!!!!!!!!  Proving that the map file is
correct and perhaps something is wrong with mapserver???
 
Any clues on how i can get the wgs84 layer to display information and
show up at the same time?
Below is my non-functioning layer.....
 
Thanks so much,

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer Release Schedule
Message-ID: <20020212153342.GA1613@intevation.de>

Dear all,

aside all the discussions about new forums I want to raise another
point: MapServer release schedule and code stabilisation. 

With the release of version 3.5 a monthly schedule was announced to 
provide packages with ongoing bugfixes. As of today the 3.5 tarball 
is still from 18th December 2001. The nighly builds and the CVS content 
differ significantly from this version. Many files have been undergone
substantial changes and seem to implement new features. So they again 
provide a development branch. 

I know that coding new features is always more fun than merging bug
fixes into stable releases. Therefore I am asking for a commit list for
the CVS: Distributing "commit messages" from the CVS system would give 
interested users the ability to follow the ongoing development of
mapserver and the chance to track bugfixes to insert them into running
systems.

I would be glad to read others opinions.

Kind regards,

        Frank Koormann

The tile4ms which comes with the mapserver was implemented for this
task. See

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/utils.html

for more. You should also consider to build a shptree over both,
tileindex and seperate shapefiles.

Is there a way to control the size of the outerline of the polygon ? 
Default seems to be too thin !!

Also, I have a bunch of Latitude and Longitude. Do I always need to have 
shapefiles to create a layer ? or is there a way to put symbols on that 
lat/long point ?

I have a layer that is stored in kilometer units and I want to display it
on top of my other normal, UTM data.
It is in the "projection" but essentially all the data comes out as being
divided by 1000.  Can I simply define the PROJECTION "units" to "km"?  I'm
trying but am not getting too far with proj/epsg settings as the moment.
I'm accessing the data via OGR, perhaps there is an option I could use in
my CONNECTION string?

Hi Friends,
              I am trying to display the map by query selection. I am
gettting the following error. Does any one can help me  to fix this error.
         msQueryByAttributes(): General error message. No query layer
defined. 
        
               I am using mapserver 3.5, windows 2000, apache.

Thanks,
Anwar

Is there a way to rotate a symbol give data in by shape file? I have a symbol of a windbar for a weather plot and want to rotate it the direction of the wind.

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0202121456150.18431-100000@Banshee.ERC.MsState.Edu>

Hi everyone,
My team wants me to create markers, lines and shades depend. upon
particular attribs. from the shapefile.
Eg. they created an attr. Shade_sym which is a no., that no. should be
used to fetch symbol from the map file e.g. if Shade_sym = 29, the 29th
symbol from the map file must be used.
I do the foll. to accomplish the task:
   CLASSITEM 'Shade_sym'
   CLASS
     NAME "sym = 29"
     EXPRESSION ([Shade_sym] EQ 29)
     SYMBOL 29
     SIZE 2
     COLOR 114 24 124
   END
Okay I think this is the optimal way, unless any body has other ideas.
But they also want me to read COLOR AND/OR SIZE for the symbol from a
file, e.g. the foll. is such a file, the first no. being the symbol no.:
# value red green blue

1 255 250 250
2 248 248 255
3 245 245 245
4 220 220 220
5 255 250 240
Thus I should be able to use the attr. Shade_sym's value 29 to index into
this file and assign the RGB values to COLOR?
Is there a way to do this? I've tried to be very brief.
Thanks,

I think you need to use mapscript then it should not be a problem. Using
mapscript implies that you build your web navigation tool using the Perl
or PHP version of mapscript.

I would be interested in this features also. The best I have been able
to come up with so far is to create 8 symbols based on
N,S,E,W,NE,NW,SE,SW and then slot the direction into the closed fit.

It would be nice to have a symbol and be able to specify a direction to
rotate it to.

If you just want to draw the state outlines and labels, don't use
TIGER-- use files from nationalatlas.gov .  If you need street level
data for the whole US, then tiger is the way to go.  Nationalatlas
should have just one layer for states-- setup your .map file for just
one layer and off you go.

Perhaps more fun, but mostly, the new features are required by other
projects which are funding all the nice improvements that you see in
MapServer.  Unfortunately that's reality.

This being said, if there was a group interested in supporting and
applying patches (critical patches only IMHO) to the stable release
while development is happening in the main trunk then that would be
great... we've setup a rel-3-5-0 branch in CVS exactly for that... any
volounteers?

Could be a nice thing to have, mostly interesting for the developers and
less for the users I would think.  But anyway, as an interim solution
there is a ChangeLog file in our download site that is updated
automagically every morning... you might want to have a look:

Subject: [mapserver-users] rotate symbols ??
Message-ID: <sc697340.017@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

This is possible with TrueType smybols. For example, you can actually
use class labels and the text attribute for symbolization. Your text
value would likely refer to a single symbol in a font. You can pull the
angle then from an attribute using the labelangleitem parameter. 

Please add a feature request to Bugzilla for general symbol rotation.

I would be interested in this features also. The best I have been able
to come up with so far is to create 8 symbols based on
N,S,E,W,NE,NW,SE,SW and then slot the direction into the closed fit.

It would be nice to have a symbol and be able to specify a direction to
rotate it to.

Hey folks: Dan's correct. There was a branch created with the 3.5
release. Luckily there have been no *major* bugs reported/fixed that
would warrant a maintanence release- yet.

The nightly is supposed to be a development snapshot and not a
maintenence release, especially given the pace of the new work as Daniel
said. I guess the main branch should be listed as 3.6 development with
any bugs for 3.5 appearing in the 3.5.0 branch.

Frank's request is certainly valid. Dan, could you pass along your
formula for building the change log to Jamie and the folks at the UMN?
Seems that's where it should live. We should take a close look at the
change log to make sure we haven't missed things that warrant a 3.5.1
maintanence release.

It's not a mapfile problem, rather a problem with the CGI query. With
attribute queries you set the qlayer variable so the server knows which
layer to process.

Thanks for clarification. Making the ChangeLog available helps
a lot and makes the progress of mapserver development more transparent. 

Kind regards,

Hi,

no I downloaded the win32 binary from http://parvillers.homeip.net/mapserver/

Is there a way to get ORA error messages (or do they appear in the normal log file?)?
And what is default colour for polygons?
My data is in the selected window (extent).

Thanks in advance,
Bart

Dear Bart (and other Oracle Spatial - SDO - users),

The syntax for the mapfile DATA statement has been updated in order to
support SRID definitions (looks like you're using a workaround I posted in
the list sometime ago). Check your maporaclespatial.c for revision 1.8. The
syntax is:

DATA "shape FROM table" (as before)
DATA "shape FROM table USING SRID srid_number" (new)
DATA "shape FROM (SELECT stmt)" (as before)

Syntax 2 accepts a SDO SRID number, which must be exactly the same number
used in the SDO_SRID attribute for 'shape' in 'table'. Old code assumed the
srid to be NULL, causing a SDO SRID mismatch error when using syntax 1 - the
workaround was to use syntax 3. However, syntax 3 is not recommended because
it returns ALL shapes from the SELECT stmt, regardless of the current image
extent (therefore, making mapserver to draw/work-with non-visible elements).
Thus, Syntax 2 solves the mismatch error problem (performance-wise, syntax 1
& 2 are equal except that syntax 1 uses a NULL srid for the query statement,
while syntax 2 has a defined srid).

However, I don't think that is what is causing your problem.

First of all, I believe I read somewhere that you must have a CLASS to be
defined. Apparently you commented out the only class you had. So, try
using simply (for polygons):

CLASS
  COLOR 128 128 128 # gray-filled
  OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 # black contour
END

Secondly, there's the STATUS, which I believe should be DEFAULT to work. Not
sure on that, but you should try anyway...

STATUS DEFAULT

Finally, check EXTENT to see if it conforms to the data stored in your
shapefile column (POLYGOON). Run this select statement to count how many
shapes you should see in the default view.

SELECT count(A.polygoon) FROM GGA_GEMEENTE_EFEMERIDEN A
WHERE SDO_FILTER( A.polygoon, MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(
2003, <srid>, NULL,
MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),
MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY( <x1>, <y1>, <x2>, <y2> )),
'querytype=window') = 'TRUE'

where:
- <srid> should be your srid (or A.SDO_SRID);
- <xi> and <yi> come from your EXTENTS (i.e. with your extents it would be
x1=0; y1=275000; x2=365000; y2=700000)

Cheers,
Rod.

Hi,

I have a problem with an Oracle Spatial layer not showing up. Can anybody
please help? Thanks in advance!
EPSG:29112 is the Dutch system (Rijksdriehoek a.k.a RD)

In the logfile I get this:

I'll reply to the list since this answer may be of interest to other CVS
users...

The ChangeLog file is built by a Perl script called cvs2cl.pl... you
simply run it in the main mapserver directory and it fetches the cvs log
information from the server and generates the ChangeLog file.

I don't remember where I got that script, but in case anyone wants it, I
made a copy available for download at 
  http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/misc/cvs2cl.pl.gz

Hi Rodrigo,

thanks, indeed it was the omission of a class which caused the problem.
I have the map now showing, but performance is really poor (22 seconds for one map).
Do you have an indication of how performance should be and how to increase performance?

Thanks in advance,
Bart

Message-ID: <8CC51D30DA6FD311950B0000F6C74F130483FA44@primanet.chu-rouen.fr>

Hello Bart,

I use MapServer with OracleSpatial and many layers with many objects with a
too high resolution (18 cm for half of France :-( ).

Actually building a 15 layers map with more than 5000 objects in my shown
window when the database contains more than 3.000.000 (either polygon, lines
or points )  takes me 18 seconds on win32 with a PIII 800 Mhz / 512 Mo. 

I have plenty of idea to make it much faster. But at this time you should
considerer if you do or not as many operations as I do on so many layers and
objects ? 

How large is your table ? Do you have a rtree index on the geometry ? 

Rgds

Hi

I've installed mapserver 3.4 on linux machine running Suse 7.2
Every things works perfectly well. When I run http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv,
I've got the following answer : No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is
set, but empty.
If I understand well it means that mapserver is correctly installed
Am I right ?

I've downloaded the demo. When I run the demo_init.html I can see the fisrt
window and when I click on the initialize button I can see the demo interface
but not the map.
When I look in the directory where I put the mapserver demo I can see that the
DEMO1215465488.gif has been created.
So why can I can't see the gif file in my browser ?

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0202131056330.22011-100000@Banshee.ERC.MsState.Edu>

I am using gdal 1.1.5 to display 24, 8 bit TIFFs. As suggested by Frank
Warmerdam I got my TIFFs to display after I compiled gdal after
configuring it with internal tiff and geotiff libraries.
However I still get an error when I try to display colored jpegs:
drawJPEG(): Image handling error. JPEG support is not available.
These are my configs:
Banshee[20] pushkar$ mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE
Banshee[99] pushkar$ gdal-config --formats

I have disabled jpeg support in mapserv, and my gdal is configured
to handle it. Still doesn't work?
If anyone has experience with this please help. Thanks,

Thanks Steve,
I am now trying to built mapscript with perl, but there doesn't seem to be
any documentation on that. Can anyone point me if there is docum.
available on this, otherwise I will try to use php/mapscript?
I welcome suggestions and your experience from everybody about perl vs.
php with mapscript.

You need to point to your directory containing the images, and the path is
from the htdocs dir. (if it is apache).

Did you download the demo data for version 3.4 or 3.5?  It sounds like you
might have downloaded the latest (3.5) version and some of the settings are
different and won't work the same with mapserver 3.4.

Hi

I've installed mapserver 3.4 on linux machine running Suse 7.2
Every things works perfectly well. When I run
http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv,
I've got the following answer : No query information to decode.
QUERY_STRING is
set, but empty.
If I understand well it means that mapserver is correctly installed
Am I right ?

I've downloaded the demo. When I run the demo_init.html I can see the fisrt
window and when I click on the initialize button I can see the demo
interface
but not the map.
When I look in the directory where I put the mapserver demo I can see that
the
DEMO1215465488.gif has been created.
So why can I can't see the gif file in my browser ?

My demo.map  :
#
# Start of map file
#

But your mapserver isn't configured to display jpeg support.  When you do:
> mapserv -v
you need to have it saying OUTPUT=JPEG in order for mapserver to create
images in that format.  GDAL will allow you to READ JPEG images for mapserv
to display them.  But mapserver needs to be configured to display/output
them.  If you don't want to recompile mapserver, then switch to using PNG
files instead since it is already supported  in your mapserver program.
I'm not sure what is involved, but there is an image type setting in your
map file that specifies which format to use.   I suspect it is set to JPEG
right now - try changing it to PNG.

drawJPEG(): Image handling error. JPEG support is not available.
These are my configs:
Banshee[20] pushkar$ mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE
Banshee[99] pushkar$ gdal-config --formats
gxf gtiff hfa aigrid aaigrid ceos ceos2 iso8211 sdts raw dted mem jdem
envisat elas fit gif jpeg png
I have disabled jpeg support in mapserv, and my gdal is configured
to handle it. Still doesn't work?
If anyone has experience with this please help. Thanks,

Message-ID: <1013626863.13610.12.camel@lilbit>

Hi,

I've been experiencing a problem with the configure routines.  The only
error I get in the configure process is 

  sed: can't read ./gdft/Makefile.in: No such file or directory

which happens at the very end of the configure output.  Running make
yields the following output:

cc -c -march=pentium -O3  -Wall @DEBUG_FLAGS@ -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA 
-DUSE_EPPL -DUSE_PROJ @WMS_ENABLED@ @WMS_LYR_ENABLED@

maptemplate.o
cc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
make: *** [maptemplate.o] Error 1

I've managed to get mapserver to compile by writing a script to "clean"
the offending assignments in Makefile, but this yields a as-of-yet
useless binary (can't load a reference image...seems to be due to
-DUSE_GD_<img type> not getting set at compile time.

Would anyone have any useful info WRT tracking this down?

Hi Friends,

           Thanks for your help, 

Here is the link i am passing to display the attribute queries.

Pams_code is the attribute in flightline shape file.
  
msQueryByAttributes(): General error message. No query layer defined. 
        
I am using mapserver 3.5, windows 2000, apache.



Can you tell me whats wrong in that link. 

Is there any examples in mapserver site for attribute queries?.
where i can found these  documentation.

Thanks,

It's not a mapfile problem, rather a problem with the CGI query. With
attribute queries you set the qlayer variable so the server knows which
layer to process.

Pushkar,

The problem is that the internal MapServer drawRaster() code recognises
this as a JPEG and calls drawJPEG() on it which reports that JPEG support
is not available.  I used to have the same problem with TIFF, but I modified
mapraster.c to avoid trying drawTIFF() if tiff was not configured and gdal was.
I have just committed a similar change for JPEG.

Please get the latest mapraster.c from CVS and rebuild.  It shouldn't be
necessary to reconfigure.  If you don't have ready access to CVS let me know
and I will email it directly to you.

Sorry for the confusion ... I forgot about this "issue".

Best regards,

Everyone,

Please disregard my previous message.  This was the result of cruft in
my build scripts.  The issue is resolved and was due to (somewhat
frstrating and well hidden) carelessness.  The nightly release built
fine and, although I haven't tested it, I have an idea 3.5 would too
since I was seeing the same problems with it.

Regards,

First, make sure you are using syntax 2 for the DATA statement (previous
email). Secondly, I'll let our friend Hughes Parvillers to help you optimize
your access to SDO data. He has plenty more of experience than I have in
this Oracle stuff, so you are in good hands =) Any comments H/P?

Rod.

ps: I have a mapfile that gets static data from shapefiles, and the dynamic
data comes from an SDO database. It's a PII 933Mhz w/ 512mb (Linux), and the
performance is less than 2 secs. Perhaps you could split your info like I
did to improve performance.

Hi Rodrigo,

thanks, indeed it was the omission of a class which caused the problem.
I have the map now showing, but performance is really poor (22 seconds for
one map).
Do you have an indication of how performance should be and how to increase
performance?

Thanks in advance,
Bart

a little late just wanted to post the site we did using mapserver technology
back in december,  thanks to mapserver and the list for help along the way.
It works great with no problems so far!

http://www.minato-ala.net/map/

please let me know if there is anything else outside of this notice I need
to do.

also, we are looking into an open source solution involving jpeg2000 to
progressively show scalable satalite images over the net,   any advice?

thanks,
matt

Mapserver 3.3.011
TurboLinux 6.5

packages used:
proj4
gd1.8.4
freetype2
zlib, jpeg, libpng

source code was modified a little to support jpeg and gd1.8.4

Thank you for all your answer :
I guess several mistakes has been made :
First, of course the line IMAGEURL was uncommented
Second, I have downloaded mapserver 3.4 and the demo is version 3.3.

I guess the best way is to reinstall all correctly

Thanks again

Subject: [mapserver-users] Can i combine Rosa and USEMAP
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20020214105917.00a2e5f0@localhost>

Hi All,

I created an image using a HTML USEMAP like following:

<MAP NAME="points">
<AREA HREF="#" ALT="info about the point" TITLE="Products"  SHAPE=CIRCLE 
COORDS="251,143,50" >
.....repeated for every POINT in a shape
</MAP>

//creating the image:
echo"<IMG SRC=$url USEMAP=#points BORDER=0 WIDTH=$gpoMap->width 
HEIGHT=$gpoMap->height NAME=clickmap";


USEMAP=#points --> creates circle-references for every point. Circle (50 
radius) around the coordinates of the point.
When hovering with the mouse over the created circle-reference info is 
displayed using the HTML ALT option.

'Normally' an image would look something like:
echo"<INPUT TYPE=image SRC=$url BORDER=0 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=450 NAME=zoommap>";

As it's all based on Gmap i have not found an option to add this to the 
Rosa applet.

Is it possible to combine Rosa with the Usemap secribed above.

Thanks,

Erwin

If you can only get data from your database during map query, you can use
URL in your query template definition:

  TEMPLATE "httpd://url.of.your.php_script.php?id=[ID]"

where [ID]... are the attribute names of your layer.

Message-ID: <5B025B1F39D6D4119F5700508BEEEC6633C807@srsofaioi4546.ktso.ch>

Hi Listers

This may be one of the most often asked questions: Why do I not get the
correct result from ITEMQUERY?

I have a polygon layer (Shape) named parznum. It has about 50000 records and
a numeric field named sys_obid. Among those 50000 records there is exactly
one with sys_obid=25489. Now I want to run an itemquery to find this record
with sys_obid=25489. 

With JavaScript I create the following URL:
...&qlayer=parznum&mode=itemquery&item=sys_obid&value=25489&...
I get no results. 

I also tried it with a regular expression:
...&qlayer=parznum&mode=itemquery&item=sys_obid&value=^25489$&...
Again - no results.

As a test I then used this url:
...&qlayer=parznum&mode=itemquery&item=sys_obid&value=489&...
As result I get a record with sys_obid=48966. But that is not what I want.

Any ideas?

Uli


LAYER
  NAME parznum
  STATUS ON
  DATA "kva/av93/liegentest"
  TYPE POINT
  CLASSITEM "sys_obid"
	QUERYITEM "sys_obid"

  END	
  QUERY    
  TEMPLATE
"http://intraso.so.ch/sogis/adresse.php?applic_id=[applic_id]&shpmid=[shpmid

  END
END  

END # Map File

(I'm using PHP / Mapscript with the 10/10/2001 dll from DM Solutions).

Is it possible to show a SYMBOL on the Legend from an ANNOTATION Layer ?

Yes, IF there is a symbol paired with the text. Otherwise no, what would you show? The only
place I see a problem with that is when you're using LABELs as you would a normal symbol,
usually from a TrueType font. If the latter is the case would you please file it in bugzilla as a
feature request so we could add it later?

We do have a per/mapscript document coming.  Hopefully we'll have it

Thank you everybody, I decided to go for PHP/Mapscript since it was well
docum. and most of the people use that.
This way I can search for examples/problems in the archives and get better
support.

Chris,

Right click on "My Computer" select "properties" click on the
"Environment" tab set the System Variables (must be Administrator).

I think you can also set it specificaly for IIS from "Control Panel" and
using the IIS Manager icon, the name escapes me at the moment. Anyway, I
think it has the ability to set Environment varibales from there.

Thanks Ed...I had read that, and couldn't figure out whay my images weren't
working in Netscape (still can't for that matter). Probably should've
offered up some more info from the beginning.

After some experimentation, this seems to be an IIS (IIS 5 on Win2k). I'm
trying to view some PNG images in NS. If I put a png file into an HTML
document (using the IMG tag), I can open the file directly in NS, and it
works fine (e.g. I open c:\myfiles\png_test.html in NS). If on the other
hand, I try to bring up the file throught the web server (e.g.
http://localhost/png_test.html) it comes up as a broken link in NS. Either
way works fine in IE. I can view the PNG images through NS on the libpng
test page as well... so, it seems fairly certain that this is a "feature" of
IIS.

I found something on libpng about fixing this (basically adding an entry for
PNG to the MIME map in IIS), but this does not seem to have helped.

Any ideas would be helpful... if I figure it out, I'll post.

As far as I am aware there is no equivalent of apache's setvar in the
.htaccess file to set environment variables for specific web roots. You
can probably get away with setting a global Windows environment variable
with: SET MS_ERRORFILE='...' in your autoexec.bat file.

If anyone knows how to make IIS set server environment variables that
are scoped to particular virtual domains, without having to script the
IIS object model I would love to know about it.

I know on Windows 2000 to set environment variables, you can go under

Start --> settings --> control panel --> System --> Advanced Tab and click
the button 
"Environment Variables" -  you'll probably want to set it for "System
Variables"


I forget whether it is the same on NT 4 - don't have one handy at the

Hope that helps.

It looks fine on Netscape Communicator 4.78 on Windows 2000
Professional.  What version of Netscape (and what OS) is giving you

Thanks Ed...I had read that, and couldn't figure out whay my images

Hello,

I have been lurking on this list for a couple of years. Never had to post 
because I never had a question that wasn't asked and answered on the list. 
Now however I really need help.

I downloaded and compiled mapserver 3.5 and managed to get pdf support 
compiled in as well. But I don't have a clue how to utilize the pdf 
functionality.

Basically I just want to have a print to pdf button on my application much 
like the landview site. Could someone point me to some examples of how to do 
this, or give me some clues and I can go from there?

I see the landview site is done with perl. Can the pdf functions be called 
from php/mapscript as well?

Thanks in advance,

Eliot Cline

Message-ID: <53273E187450D311ACF6009027927B1202C7B065@smtpgate.auslig.gov.au>

Hi,

I am trying to compile mapserver 3.5 on a Sun Solaris 2.6 platform with gcc
version 2.95.3 using the following configuration options:

./configure  --prefix=/usr/local/ --exec-prefix=/usr/local --with-freetype
--with-proj --with-gd=/usr/local --with-zlib --with-wmsclient

--with-php=/opt/contrib/src/php-4.0.6 --with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs

I have been able to compile mapserver 3.5 with all the options except 

--with-php=/opt/contrib/src/php-4.0.6 --with-apxs=/opt/apache/bin/apxs

but when I compile with the php options I get the following error (what I
think is the relevant part is in bold):

Should I switch on some options when I compile php to create this directory?

I think it's probably just buggy PNG support in Netscape.  The articles
you mentioned are indeed for IIS 4 and are not relevant or necessary for
IIS 5.  I have found (in general) that Netscape versions 4.x up until
4.76 or so are full of various annoying bugs.

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP/Mapscript Question
Message-ID: <3C6C8025.F9384190@swoodbridge.com>

Dan, et al,

In PHP/Mapscript 3.5, I want to add a marker to my map. With the CGI
interface I did something like: 
layer=marker&map_marker_feature=new&map_marker_feature_points={LON}+{LAT}&map_marker_feature_text={LABEL}

The map file section for is below.

I am correct that PHP/Mapscript does not have access to the FEATURE
Objects?

It seems that the way I should go about doing this using code based on
gmap75  I would be something like this in GMapDrawMap():

$img = $gpoMap->draw();

if ($HTTP_FORM_VARS["mx"])
{
  $dfmx   = doubleval($HTTP_FORM_VARS["mx"]);
  $dfmy   = doubleval($HTTP_FORM_VARS["my"]);
  $sfmtxt = $HTTP_FORM_VARS["mtxt"];

  $mlay   = $gpoMap->getlayerbyname("marker");
  $mlay->set("status", 1);

  $pnt    = ms_newPointObj();
  $pnt->setXY($dfmx, $dfmy);
  $pnt->draw($gpoMap, $mlay, $img, 0, $sftxt);
}

where layer marker in my map file would be defined like:

LAYER
  NAME marker
  TYPE POINT
  STATUS OFF
  CLASS
    NAME "User Marker"
    #TEXT "HERE"
    SYMBOL 'marker'
    COLOR 0 0 0
    LABEL
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT arial-bold
      BUFFER 4
      SIZE 8
      POSITION AUTO
      COLOR 0 0 0
      BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 204
    END
  END
  #FEATURE
  #  POINTS x y
  #END
END

Does this make sense? 
Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
  -Steve Woodbridge

OK, here is an update. I can get the marker symbol to show up BUT not
text label using the following code in my GMapDrawMap(). Does anyone
have any ideas why?

    if ($gbShowQueryResults)
        $img = $gpoMap->drawQuery();
    else
        $img = $gpoMap->draw();

       $dfmy   = doubleval($HTTP_FORM_VARS["my"]);
       $sfmtxt = $HTTP_FORM_VARS["mtxt"];

       $mlayer = $gpoMap->getlayerbyname("marker");
       if (isset($mlayer)) {
         $mlayer->set("status", 1);
         $point = ms_newPointObj();
         $point->setXY($dfmx, $dfmy);
         $point->draw($gpoMap, $mlayer, $img, 0, $sfmtxt);
       }
    }
    
    $url = $img->saveWebImage($gAppletImgFmt, 0, 0, -1);

The landview piece simply embeds a image rendered in mapserver into a pdf. I can share code.

However, there are opportunities to create vector PDFs with MapServer. The shp2pdf program is an example. You can easily wrap that with perl or whatever pretty easily. I'll add scripting access to that once a C wrapper to writing a PDF file is done.

classes and everything is working fine but one thing is missing:

I can't save the generated images to disk as the imageObj-class was not 
generated. When i look into the php-examples such a class exists there. 
Why does swig not generated this class in java? Can someone help me out 
of this problem?

I use mapserver 3.5.
I tried the swig-versions 1.3.9 and 1.3.11

Thanks

Harald

Hello all,

I'm trying to load a Raster image (jpg) into a map.

this is a piece of my code:

  LAYER
     NAME "ab"
     DATA fotoab.jpg
     TYPE RASTER
     STATUS ON
     MAXSCALE 4000
     CLASS
	COLOR 0 0 0
     END	
   END

But it doesn't work. And I don't know why.
There aren't any error message.

What's the matter?.  Could you help me?

Thanks,

Try calling $map->DrawLabelCache() before saving the image, or setting
labelcache = FALSE in your layer defn.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Zooming Strangeness
Message-ID: <3C6D1570.71B18BA2@swoodbridge.com>

Hi all,

I am using a modified version of GMap75 which is working great, but I
have run into a strange problem related to zooming which may or may not
be related to the GMap code. I am using  

EXTENT -180.0 -90.0 180.0 90.0
UNITS DD

PROJECTION
  "proj=latlong" 
END

and all my data is in lat/long coordinates.

Here are two of the symptons:

1) I am zoom in to +-0.013 degrees (approx. 0.75 miles over 600 pix)
with a marker in the center of the image. I zoom out using rosa and the
GMap code and my marker is still at the same lat/long, the image zooms
out but has shifted so that the marker is now center on the lower left
quarter of the image like (M => marker position):

+--------------------+                 +--------------------+
+                    +                 +                    +
+                    +                 +                    +
+                    +                 +                    +
+                    +  < before       +                    +
+         M          +                 +                    +
+                    +                 +                    +
+                    +                 +                    +
+                    +    after >      +               M    +
+                    +                 +                    +
+--------------------+                 +--------------------+

If I recenter/pan (using rosa) and clicking on the marker it moves
correctly to the center.

2) I am zoomed to the full extents of the map and I try to zoom in on
roughly a 4 state area using rosa and the GMap code. I get the zoom but
the rectangle that is zoomed to is positioned significantly below the
rectangle I selected. For example, I zoom in on Massachussetts and I end
up somewhere in the Carribean. Likewise, is I try to pan to the correct
location using the reference map, I have to click up in Canada to end up
in Mass. I think there is also a horizontal shift like in 1) above so
these are both probably the same problem only magnified by scale.

Anyone have any ideas? I this an artifact that GMap75 was designed
around different assumptions regard the output projection?

You can try it out at

http://swoodbridge.com/web2/nmap

I only have Tiger data loaded for the eastern half of the US.

Thanks for the help,
  Stephen Woodbridge

Hi Francisco,
Are you trying to add it to an existing map that works?
Do you have .jfw file to go along with the image?  I mean, does the image
have any coordinates associated with it?
If not, then you will that the image falls outside of the map area.
Someone else can probably give you direction around how to place an image
at a specific location on the map viewing window.  Is the image for the map
or just a logo or something like that which you want added on top of the
map?

What I'm wanting to do is:

take a polygon from one layer, using that polygon and some function (in
this case, one that would add a "buffer" to the original polygon) come
up with a new polygon, then draw that polygon and/or use it to query
layers.

I'm wondering if there is presently a way to do this and, if not, what
obstacles (WRT design issues) would I face if I tried to make mapserver
and/or php-mapscript do this?

Hello,

I'm trying to get the current scale of a map in PHP/Mapscript, but it
allways returns -1 !

Here's the code:

<?
        
dl('php_mapscript.so');
        
$layers = $HTTP_GET_VARS['layers'];
        
$map = ms_newMapObj('/home/mapdata/regional-lens/mapfile.map');
        
foreach ( $layers as $layer ) {
        $layerobj = $map->getLayerByName($layer);
        $layerobj->set('status',MS_ON);
}
          
$map->preparequery();
$scale = $map->scale;

$image = $map->draw();

$image_url = $image->saveWebImage(MS_GIF,1,1,100);
  
?>

I tried both with and without the preparequery(), and I allways get -1 ...

What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Fred,

Steve Lime may want to jump in on this to add or correct this.

I see two issues here:

1) You have to construct and offset polygon (unless you are willing to
accept the rectangular extents of the polygon). This is pretty straight
forward:
  a) pick the first edge and determine which side is outside of the
     polygon
  b) construct an offset line on the outside of the first segment
  c) construct an offset line for each successive segment and intersect 
     it with the previous segment and save the intersection point, you
     also have to check and handle concave angles where the offsets
     eliminate the edges totally.
  d) then build a new poygon form the intersection points.

2) currently (I believe) the query code ONLY works for points and
rectangles. Modifing query code to do queries of arbitrary polygons
would be possible but require some additional computations like:
  a) first check that the extents of the obj and the query polygon
     overlap.
  b) if point, see if it is inside the query polygon
     if line,  see if it intersects the query polygon
     if polygon, polyline, see if extents are all inside or the extents
        intersect with the query polygon
       if extents intersect see if any edge intersects with the query
          polygon
         if not, see if all vertices are inside the query polygon

You could do all of this in mapscript, but might be very slow if you
have lots of polygons or the polygon have lots of points. Also you have
to be able to deal with multipart objects. There may be some code
already in mapserver that can be adapted to some parts of this as
rotated label extents represent 5 node convex polygons.

Anyway, I hope this helps,
  -Steve Woodbridge

Hello ... Me again :)

Now I want to create a lyer to add to a mapfile entirely on the fly, using
point coordinates provided via the url:

if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['lat']) && isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['long']) ) {
        $pointobj = ms_newPointObj();
        $pointobj->setXY($HTTP_GET_VARS['lat'],$HTTP_GET_VARS['long']);
        $projfrom = ms_newprojectionobj('proj=latlong');
        $projto =
ms_newprojectionobj('proj=lcc,ellps=GRS80,lat_0=49n,lon_0=95w,lat_1=49n,lat_
2=77n');
        $pointobj->project($projfrom,$projto);
        $lineobj = ms_newLineObj();
        $lineobj->add($pointobj);  
        $pointobj->free();
        $shapeobj = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
        $shapeobj->add($lineobj);
        $lineobj->free();
        $layerobj = ms_newLayerObj($map);
        $layerobj->set('type',MS_LAYER_POINT);
        $layerobj->set('status',MS_ON);
        $layerobj->addFeature($shapeobj);
        $classobj = ms_newClassObj($layerobj);
        $classobj->set('symbol',0);
        $classobj->set('size',20); 
        $classobj->set('color','0 0 0');
}

This doesn't draw however ... I don't get errors, I just don't see the
point. a Symbol size 20 should make it visible enough, no ?

I checked the addFeature, and returns 0 (NOT -1), so that works ok ... I
also checked my projection parameters, and see nothing wrong with them.

I checked the layer index and it says 60, which sounds about right, and
means that the new layer WAS created on "top", so that shouldn't be the
problem either ...

Any ideas?

Oops, Ken points out a big oversight on my part, looks-like you can
ignore point 2 in my response as it looks like you can already do a
querybyshape that is a polygon.

Thanks, Ken.

The only thing that I see is that the color setting is not correct. You should
do something like :

 $colorId = $poMap->addColor(0,0,0);
$class->set("color", $colorId);

hope it helps.

Assefa,

Thanks, but that didn't do it either ...

Do I really have to use a index value for the color? Maybe in that case I
should read the index for that color instead of adding it , since it's
allready in use (There allready is black on the map) ...

I'll play with that, but any other ideas?

Thanks,
J.F.

On the other hand, you could put your data in an Oracle SDO database, and
define a LAYER to display the result of a SDO_GEOM.SDO_BUFFER function like
in:

LAYER
CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
CONNECTION 'username/password at db'
DATA "buffer FROM (SELECT sdo_geom.sdo_buffer( table.shape, <distance>,
<tolerance> ) AS buffer FROM table)"
STATUS default
TYPE polygon
# more layer stuff like classes, etc
END

There you have your buffer shapes on-the-fly! No PHP/MapScript needed, you
can use the CGI version if you wish... Pretty cool isn't it? =)

Cheers,
Rod.

Oops, Ken points out a big oversight on my part, looks-like you can
ignore point 2 in my response as it looks like you can already do a

Message-ID: <00c301c1b71b$ded84540$0207a8c0@naumaki>

Apparently PDF support is drawing lots of interest recently =) I, for one,
have also successfully drawn map images in PDF files to generate reports,
although I haven't used MapServer's PDF extension for a few reasons. Using
PHP/MapScript, I embeded a 1800x1800 image in the PDF report, which is
generated using mapscript plus a different mapfile than the one used for web
browsing (created specifically for printing). The image is big enough to
avoid seeing pixel artifacts in the print out, and the result is quite
pleasant.

HOWEVER, this approach will never match the quality of vector
images drawn directly in PDF, and also makes the PDF file larger (I think).
So, what I'm doing right now is just waiting for the PDF+MapScript support
to be written....

BUT.... I was thinking about the msDrawMapPDF(...) function arguments, and
noticed that you cannot control the position (X,Y) of where the map is going
to be drawn, it's always centered in the page and apparently the size of the
map is defined with the mapfile SIZE statement.

SO, I have a few suggestions to make, if ~frank~ (author of mappdf.c) would
concur... Hope I'm not intruding about it.

1) Include X, Y coordinates in msDrawMapPDF function. So, in MapScript, one
would simply do this:

$pdf = pdf_new();
$map = ms_newMapObj( $pdf_mapfile );
// *** lots of processing here ***
$map->drawMapPDF( $pdf_handler, $x, $y );
// *** now, simply return the created PDF report

2) Assume that the width and height of the map (as defined in the mapfile
SIZE statement) is in the same metrics of the PDF file. Therefore, the
actual place where the map should be drawn in the PDF page is:
  Left: $x
  Top: $y
  Right: ($x + $map->{width})
  Bottom: ($y + $map->{height})
I trust that most people would have a different mapfile for printing (rather
than using the same one for browsing), so it wouldn't be much of a problem
to use the mapfile image SIZE to store PDF targeted values.

In time, the other draw methods could also be implemented with the same
assumptions. Thus, one would be able to create a report with georeferenced
information right alongside report text, plus legend, scalebar, etc...

Any comments?

Rod.

The landview piece simply embeds a image rendered in mapserver into a pdf. I
can share code.

However, there are opportunities to create vector PDFs with MapServer. The
shp2pdf program is an example. You can easily wrap that with perl or
whatever pretty easily. I'll add scripting access to that once a C wrapper
to writing a PDF file is done.

Have a look at slide 51 onward at http://conf.php.net/oz2002/
(BTW, I couldn't get the slide browser to work under IE, only  Netscape).

Slide 57 has an example of placing an image into a PDF.
Putting Mapserver stuff into a PDF this way looks to be easy (it's on my
list of things to try). Keeping vector map layers as vectors using
SVG or something would be cooler still.

The Shockwave stuff is even more interesting, animated maps anyone?

(a) You can use the PDF drawing routines in your PHP/MapScript
applications right now, with just a little indirection. Use $map->save()
to write out a mapfile which reflects the current state of your map
objects (extents, layers, etc). Then use a php exec() call to run the
shp2pdf program against that mapfile. Voila, instant gratification. We
are using this right now, works great.

(b) In terms of implementation of PDF support in PHP/Mapscript, my
recommendation would be this:

(1) that the existing PDF support in PHP be examined, and depended on,
so that to create PDF version of a map you would first create a standard
PHP PDF object, then pass that object to the mapscript PDF writing
function. That would allow people to create more customized PDF output,
by using the PHP PDF support to add useful things like titles, dates,
disclaimers, etc etc, to their printable output, and just using the
Mapscript support to render the actual map.
(2) that the PDF writing function include parameters to control where on
the page the map is written. Probably best done using page coordinates
(since pages can be of different sizes).

 $map->drawpdf($pdfobj, $pagexmin, $pageymin, $pagexmax, $pageymax);

Ok, so now we're beginning to reach an ideal calling convention (i.e.
arguments) for a drawMapPDF (or drawPDF) function... I agree that maybe
passing $pagexmax and $pagexmin along with the origem (x,y) is a good idea,
as opposed to let mapfile's SIZE statement to control this info. SIZE
wouldn't need to be defined at all. So:

$map->drawpdf( $pdfobj, $pagexmin, $pageymin, $pagexmax, $pageymax );

is okay for us users (at least for Paul and I), so far =) Hope the
'mappdf.c' author don't mind us playing around with the subject.

Paul, a few comments on your email:

(a) It's a good approach. but as you said in (b) you don't have much control
on the PDF output. I couldn't go for that, that's why I'll keep with my
raster image embeding. I need to put text along with the map image. It's a 5
pages report...
(b.1) I guess your words are my words =) That's exacly what I said when I
talked about X,Y coordinates (which you called pagexmin, pageymin). Maybe I
wasn't clear enough, but hey, English is not my first language!
(b.2) Same thing =) Check my code (btw Left,Top,Right,Bottom are calculated
in page coordinates).

My R$0.02 (US$0.008)

Cheers,
Rod.

(a) You can use the PDF drawing routines in your PHP/MapScript
applications right now, with just a little indirection. Use $map->save()
to write out a mapfile which reflects the current state of your map
objects (extents, layers, etc). Then use a php exec() call to run the
shp2pdf program against that mapfile. Voila, instant gratification. We
are using this right now, works great.

(b) In terms of implementation of PDF support in PHP/Mapscript, my
recommendation would be this:

(1) that the existing PDF support in PHP be examined, and depended on,
so that to create PDF version of a map you would first create a standard
PHP PDF object, then pass that object to the mapscript PDF writing
function. That would allow people to create more customized PDF output,
by using the PHP PDF support to add useful things like titles, dates,
disclaimers, etc etc, to their printable output, and just using the
Mapscript support to render the actual map.
(2) that the PDF writing function include parameters to control where on
the page the map is written. Probably best done using page coordinates
(since pages can be of different sizes).

 $map->drawpdf($pdfobj, $pagexmin, $pageymin, $pagexmax, $pageymax);

Paul,

Taking advantage of the existing PDF module in PHP would be great, and
we've been thinking about doing the same with GD to use the PHP GD
module to add annotations on top of a MapScript imageObj.

The problem is that the PHP GD and PDF modules are separate modules and
we don't have any control on them, each module uses its own data
structures internally and I never saw anything in PHP that allowed
modules to share resources even if they share the same C data structures
at the lower level (a PDF or GD handle is a resource in PHP).

This would be a nice thing to research (when time permits), but I'm
suspecting that we would have to build some kind of bridge to export an
imageObj into a PHP GD image object and vice-versa... and that we would
have to maintain this bridge for every release of PHP... that's the main
reason why we didn't do it yet: it's already hard enough to maintain the
PHP module compatible between PHP versions without this kind of
dependencies with external modules.


BTW, I have created a bug in bugzilla about this... may I suggest that
you both file your conclusions and suggestions in the bug report so that
we have access to all the information if/when we work on this:
 http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=110

I just had a quick read through the pdf module. The
zend_get_parameters_ex() and ZEND_FETCH_RESOURCE() functions look pretty
agnostic regarding what modules they are called from. The PDF module
seems to use the Zend resource list to store its document object, but
the document object it is using is not a custom structure, it is the
usual PDFlib PDF struct, same one as the mappdf.c file uses.

There sure seems to be alot of voodoo surrounding the Zend stuff. Just
wave your magic wand. I am a babe in the woods. Is that Zend stuff
subject to a pre-processor or something? It does not look syntactically
correct as it stands.

I think that if the decision is made to bind into the other modules, it
would be wise to give up all responsibility for instantiating and
destroying objects. Take the reference created by the other module and
use that. That way the bridge only has to be one way. Hopefully GD is as
simpleminded as PDF in terms of just dumping the standard structure
reference into Zend's object store.

Hi all,
Pardon me for asking php install. problem but I'm doing this since I
didn't get an ans. on the php mail. list.
I am using solaris sparc 10, I want to install php 4.0.6 on apache 1.3.22:
My php config. is as follows:
./configure  --prefix=/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/php-4.0.6
--with-apxs=/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/apache_1.3.22/bin/apxs
It is a dynamic module and my apache config. is:
./configure \
"--with-layout=Apache" \
"--prefix=/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/apache_1.3.22" \
"--enable-module=so" \
"--enable-shared=max" \
"--enable-rule=SHARED_CORE" \
During php install. it copies the libphp4.so to the libexec dir. of
apache.
I've added the foll. lines to httpd.conf as suggested:
LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so
AddModule php4_module mod_php4.c
When I try to start apache I get the foll:

Hi All,

is it possible to get all coordinates of a certain polygon-shape using 
mapscript?

Maybe having the same output for a point or line would fine-tune it.

Thinking that the object could be passed to a 'function' like 
GETCOORDS(object type); where type could be point/line/polygon.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Erwin

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20020218081251.00a0dd60@localhost>

Hi All,

Is there an option to show a shape when it's index (row) in the dbf is 
known? I would like to highlight only this shape.
I made an extra layer for it with specific color (red) and "status OFF", so 
think this highlight-layer needs to be called.

For making an overview with only defined layers, is it best to make an 
extra map-file and draw that one, or can i use the 'normal' map-file and 
turn on only layers which i want to show.
I was thinking that i retreive all map-layers to an array and use something 
like (if On_layer = map_layer then,....). Right approach, or....

Also i would like to show the extents of the shape as a rectangle on the 
overview-map.

Searching the above questions on the list-archives did get some examples, 
but all seemed to be slightly different or now working, but that's my lack 
of .... ;-)

Thanks in advance,

Erwin

This Gmap-based map has a list of all 'parks' in a list below the Rosa-map

Select a 'park' and a popup will show the info regarding the selected park.

The overview map (not in yet) should to have the highlighted shape (from

(Getting extents of the queried-shape and resulting query-image is no problem)

I plan to set up more things like this one including info as how to do

My opinion regarding mapscript is that reading/writing how it's done solves

have another question.....
 
I have used the rose applet in my project and i was interested in
showing the query result set in a separate frame from the main applet so
that there is no refresh needed.  This presents a few problems
asthetically so i wish to instead open the results in a new formatted
frame.  I was able to do the queryResults in a diff frame using jsaction
and i can even get it into another frame by not specifying an existing
frame... it opens in a new page.  HOWEVER i want the new page to be a
specific size... any clue on how to do this.
 
Thanks in advance,

Vinko,
That's right I executed the run-tests.php program from my command line.
I don't think there is a utility ldconfig on solaris.
Where does the php.ini file have to be put for apache, the docum. of php
says it goes in /usr/local/lib?
i.e. does it have to be in the apache dir?

I think php.ini has nothing to do with this issue, it seems more like
the module lib_php4.so is not readable/findable by apache.

In any case, the location of the php.ini file is a compile-time option,
you can check where it should be by running the phpinfo() php function.

Maybe if you put the whole path to lib_php4.so in the LoadModule statement
we could see if that's the problem. You should also check the
permissions of the file and directories.

Are there certain permissions I need to set in IIS for it to run mapserver?

Message-ID: <3C7140CE.4070903@yahoo.com>

Hello Dave,

I am wondering whether you got this thing to work. I tried to create the 
Java Mapscript using swig, I still couldn't get it to work. It seems 
some objects are missing, particularly imageObj-class. I would greatly 
appreciate if you can share some info with couple of us in this group 
who are trying to get Java wrapper to work.

Hello all:

I just wanted to check if anyone had written a Java class wrapper for
the mapserver cgi program.  I am planning on using one to make mapserver
the backend engine for a java servlet.  I thought I should check to see
if anyone had done this and is willing to share the code before I got
started.

make sure you compile php as an apache module, or that the module is in the
correct path for the apache modules.

I am using itemquery for address searches on parcel
data.  It works fine however I have found some glitches.

If I put in a number say 300 and select a street say
University, if there is no "300 University Ave"
it selects "8300 University Ave".

Can anyone shed some light on this problem and how I 
might fix it?

Thanks

My sincere thanks to all who contributed,
Inspite of asking a non MS related ques. I got responses.
Actually the first time things may go wrong but then you have to do a
'make clean' in both apache and php and then compile them.
I got this from o'reilly's website by Darrell Brogdon (author of PHP Admin
Basics).
Thought this might be useful for others so posting it.

It's a $99 program from www.gistools.com (it only runs on Windows and is
slow, and can only process so many zip files at a time).

Back in June I could not find it anywhere in .shp format-- I don't know
about know, but I doubt the entire set is freely available in shp
anywhere (hence the need for a tgr2shp program).

Of course.  Mapserver will have to load one huge file and look for
intersecting points/lines/etc instead of loading smaller smaller smaller
smaller smaller smaller smaller smaller smaller files.  In
fact, I even added another layer of abstraction by storing the paths to
shp files in Postgres with an R-tree index-- to process a map request I
query Postgres for files that intersect the box, and then tell mapserver
to load only those files when drawing the map.  It actually works very
well, I think.  You can also TILE your shapefiles.

Hi

First my apologies for the delay in making this available to everyone
- the mapserver prototype app that I put together (based on a
heavily	modified version of gmap75 by DMSolutions) is now available
for general download. The test site can be seen in operation at:
		
		http://www.wrcgis.co.uk/webmap/ms_teleco/

The download itself is available at:

	http://www.wrcgis.co.uk/software.php

A couple of notes:

The download requires a free registration on our web site - this is
purely for our records and personal information will not be made
available to 3rd parties.

The application was built against a pre 3.5 cvs checkout and so there
are a couple of modifications required to make it fully 3.5 compliant
- I would appreciate it if anyone could contribute these mods back if
they do them so that I can redistribute them to future users
downloading it.

The app uses dhtml and as such will need an up to date browser.
Netscape 4.7 probably wont work too well.

The sample data provided is purely fictitious.

I would suggest running this against a CVS version of PHP 4.x as I had
a lot of problems using the .so version.

Comments, criticism and kudos to gis at wrcplc.co.uk

Jessica -

There's nothing magic about the folder name "cgi-bin".  You simply need
to have a folder to which the anonymous Web user account has Execute
permission.  You should create a dedicated folder (wherever you want,
with whatever name you want) and only put executables in it to which you
want to grant this access.

Wonder why not mentioned yet, but OGR can deal with TIGER/Line, so
ogr2ogr might be an alternative:

The idea would be to do some more steps within a javascript bound to the 
query button by jsaction:
- open a new window
- direct target to this window
- submit
- reset some values

The pilbara image processing interface
http://www.agso.gov.au/map/pilbara/

applies such a concept

looks as if your byacc does not support to "-o" option to specify an

If I remember well, ":=" is supported only by GNUMake... and changing
the above statement to use "=" won't work because the old value of
CFLAGS is reassigned to itself.  I'll file a bug in bugzilla about
fixing the makefiles so that they don't rely on GNUMake features, but in
the meantime your can either install GNUmake or edit the statement above
to be:

CFLAGS = -O2  -Wall -DCOMPILE_DL=1 -DPHP4 $(MS_DEFINE) $(MS_INC) \
         $(PHP_INC)

Hi Listers,


I have a project with many .dxf files which should be used as a castral 
map. Now I am having problems with the converting. The transition of 
the(.dxf-)textlayer is not satisfying. What are the possibilities. Which 
converter works best for annotation?


Thanks a loz

Message-ID: <B318FD8D29DCD411BD0500D0B7A91C67E4CE78@jupiter>

The folder that contains mapserv.exe - the IUSR account has to have execute
rights

For the folder where the temp images will be installed, IUSR has to have
write rights to that folder and the temp folder must also be accessible as a
web URL.

i.e.  if you use c:/inetpub/wwwroot/tmp for example - that is usually
already accessible as a web url of the form

http://localhost/tmp

But if you put the temp folder anywhere outside your web root path, you'll
need to make it a virtual directory via IIS Manager.

Message-ID: <sc72194f.089@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Couple of things, this type of processing would have to be taken care of
in C, just too slow
to do elsewhere. Building a buffered polygon is not a trivial
excercise. I've been looking for
quite some time now for code to swipe. No luck so far. IF such a
function could be written
then I'd look at implementing it using something like a PROCESS block
within a layer, for 
example

  PROCESS
    REMOVE 5000 # remove islands less than 5000 sq meters
    BUFFER 10 # then create a 10 m buffer
  END

I'd look at this in a similar fashion to how projections work. You read
the data, then do something
to it before actually using it for rendering or query.
    
Queries do support polygons, either those defined on an ad hoc basis
(via a URL or scripting
environment - MAP|IMGSHAPEQUERY) or those defined in another layer
(FEATUREQUERY). These
bother have been around for some time now...

Fred,

Steve Lime may want to jump in on this to add or correct this.

I see two issues here:

1) You have to construct and offset polygon (unless you are willing to
accept the rectangular extents of the polygon). This is pretty
straight
forward:
  a) pick the first edge and determine which side is outside of the
     polygon
  b) construct an offset line on the outside of the first segment
  c) construct an offset line for each successive segment and intersect

     it with the previous segment and save the intersection point, you
     also have to check and handle concave angles where the offsets
     eliminate the edges totally.
  d) then build a new poygon form the intersection points.

2) currently (I believe) the query code ONLY works for points and
rectangles. Modifing query code to do queries of arbitrary polygons
would be possible but require some additional computations like:
  a) first check that the extents of the obj and the query polygon
     overlap.
  b) if point, see if it is inside the query polygon
     if line,  see if it intersects the query polygon
     if polygon, polyline, see if extents are all inside or the
extents
        intersect with the query polygon
       if extents intersect see if any edge intersects with the query
          polygon
         if not, see if all vertices are inside the query polygon

You could do all of this in mapscript, but might be very slow if you
have lots of polygons or the polygon have lots of points. Also you
have
to be able to deal with multipart objects. There may be some code
already in mapserver that can be adapted to some parts of this as
rotated label extents represent 5 node convex polygons.

Anyway, I hope this helps,

Hi Frank, thanks for your suggestion.  I had found some other direction and
was successful.
FYI
In my Makefile, I modified the line defining YACC and set it to bison
instead of byacc.  It now works fine.

looks as if your byacc does not support to "-o" option to specify an
output file. AFAIR mapserver build process is relatively strict bound to
the GNU version of yacc, bison.

A try would be to indentify the line in the generated makefile and
edit it to something like
byacc -p msyy -d mapparser.y > mapparser.c

Hi Friends,

        Thanks for your help, its working fine for filtering one layer. 

I changed my query like following and it working fine.

ers=flightline&mode=itemnquery&zoomdir=0&imgxy=585 295&imgext=300434 -148033

&qlayer=flightline&map_flightline_header=mapdisplay.html&map_flightline_temp
late=zoomto.html&map_flightline_filter=%22204A%22%22218A%22

I want to do filtering multiple layers, i passed the url like 
http://208.163.164.119:6500/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../htdocs/pams1/pams.map&lay
ers=flightline&mode=itemnquery&zoomdir=0&imgxy=585 295&imgext=300434 -148033
322234 1655445&zoomsize=2&mapext=-252600 -148033 274400 165545
&qlayer=flightline photo
&map_flightline_header=mapdisplay.html&map_flightline_template=zoomto.html&m
ap_flightline_filter=%22204A%22%22218A%22
&map_photo_header=mapdisplay.html&map_photo_template=zoomto.html&map_photo_f
ilter=%22204A%22%22218A%22

where flightline and photo are two layers.

Do you think what i am passing the url is correct to do multiple filters.

i am getting the error like

msQueryByAttributes(): General error message. No query layer defined. 


i defined the filter item in my map file for the two layers.

Can any one help me whats wrong in that url.

Thanks,
Anwar

Message-ID: <sc72740c.007@fscigwia2.region.durham.on.ca>

I've been trying to get Version 3.5 working with some of my apllications with liitle success. I decided to try the Test Suite with Mapserver 3.5 but had no luck. I do have a version of the Test Suite operational on my server using Version 3.4.  As a result, I went to the version of the Test Suite on the Mapserver home page - in the Gallery, to see what I was doing wrong. It appears that this example is using Version 3.4.  I accessed the directory and saw a  'Tests3.5' directory and thought this was exactly what I was after, so I tried the top level page.  I got the same type of error messages here, as I get on my version on my server at home, when attempting to use Version 3.5. 

For example, for the first item - Automatic text rotation ... I get broken links to the images and a check of the info page gives a getSymbo() Symbol definition error (FONT):(19) , just like on my machine. When accessing ..'labeling of contours' I get the same result. 

The version I am using is a downloaded binary for 3.5 with gif and png support. (ascertained using mapserv -v). Could someone please explain to me why these files appear to work fine under version 3.4 but not version 3.5.  In addition,  a 'How To' document describing how to convert from one version to the other, would be very useful.  It would also be very useful to have the Test Suite function under the latest version of MapServer.

Anyway, as an avid fan of this software, I am extremely impressed with what has been achieved to date and the caliber of the people associated with this endeavor. I would like to congratulate all of you, particularly Steve Lime, on a job well done. I'm sure all of us lesser lights out here, look forward to seeing what the future holds for MapServer.

One good thing. I found a native method in the big mapscript class 
msSaveImage(). It worked. It saved the image to the place I wanted. I 
have attached the modified version of your example file.

Cool.

I'm reworking an enquiry front end, and currently generate an initiate
string:

It appears to ignore the imgext, and just uses the defaults.  Any
clues?  The values are an Albers projection, I obtained by zooming to my
region of interest and copying the command string that produced it.

Hi Michel,

In the GMAP version the query (by button) is retreiving information 
according to METADATA set in your layers.

Basicly it goes like this:


1) GMap75CheckClick() --> checks user input on the rosa-map, eg zoom-in 
zoom-out, pan, query.
2) When query button is used and then user clicks on map it uses following:

else if ($HTTP_FORM_VARS["CMD"] == "QUERY_POINT")

a) here it checks if point or rectangle is used
b) pixel-coords are then translated to geo-coords
c) query:
         * @$gpoMap->queryByPoint($oClickGeo, MS_SINGLE, -1);    <-- 
queries the map (single point)
         * @$gpoMap->queryByRect($oGeorefRect);  <-- queries the map 
(rectangle)
d) $gbShowQueryResults = TRUE;  <-- query is used
e) it now reloads gmap.php
f) in gmap.php you see:   <?php GMapDumpQueryResults(); ?>
g) this uses the function GMapDumpQueryResults()
h) In your map-file, it checks for the following in every layer:
       METADATA
         "DESCRIPTION"   "PrintedDescription"
         "RESULT_FIELDS" "FIELD ANOTHER_FILED"    # Field names of you 
.dbf-file
       END
i) if it finds metadata it passes it to the main file (gmap.php)
j) also any found objects are now highlighted in the main map
* Every time gmap.php is loaded it uses the function GMapDrawMap() :

     if ($gbShowQueryResults)    // <-- found objects, so drawQuery, 
highlights the objects
         $img = $gpoMap->drawQuery();
     else                        // <-- nothing found, draw normal map 
(nothing changes)
         $img = $gpoMap->draw();
k) General info: certain Variables (like $gpoMap) are set to global to use 
for other functions


You now can add features like:
NewExtent --> map zooms in to the rectangle you used for query based on the 
geo-coords of the rectangle

I never got into the CGI stuff cause i loced the combination of Mapscript 
and Rosa, so sticking with that.

Good luck,

Erwin

Lyndon,

i do not know what your defaults are, but check to see if something like 
following is used:

<input type="hidden" name="imgext" value="[mapext]">

Think you are missing the image x and y to use for the zoom.

Use something like this to also pass the zoom value:

<form method="GET" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
   <input type="hidden" name="map" value="yourmapfile">
   <input type="hidden" name="imgext"  value=="[mapext]">
   <input type="image" name="img" src="[img]" border="0">
   <select name="zoom" size="1">
       <option value="2" selected> Zoom in 2 times </option>
       <option value="1" > Recenter Map (PAN) </option>
       <option value="-2" > Zoom out 2 times </option>
   </select>
</form>

(BTW, negative coords are not the problem)

Imgext is only used to describe an existing image displayed by mapserver
and needs x,y coordinates (in image units) to be useful. I think what
you want to use mapext instead. Mapext refers to the extent of the map
to be created and is the standard way to initialize an application.

Dear List,

could someone please give me some advice on which current versions of
mapserver, php/mapscript (python/mapscript) and postgis work well
together. I would like to upgrade to 3.5. Currently we are using 3.4.
For a new project i would like to set up a new environment, but i am not
sure if all current releases of each package fit together. OS would be
Linux.

One other thing i would be interested in is if anybody has got some
experiences using mapserver with teleatlas or navtech data (either
propietary format or in shp-format)?

TIA, Michael

At the moment you can't do an itemquery on more than one layer at a
time. There is
no workaround for this at the moment (other than using mapscript-
sorry. It's not a 
limitation in the query code per se but rather a limitation in how the
CGI program 
considers the qlayer parameter. There is already a feature request that
has been filed
in bugzilla requesting the ability to set multiple query layers and I
hope to address
this soon.

        Thanks for your help, its working fine for filtering one layer.

I want to do filtering multiple layers, i passed the url like 
http://208.163.164.119:6500/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../htdocs/pams1/pams.map&lay

&map_photo_header=mapdisplay.html&map_photo_template=zoomto.html&map_photo_f

where flightline and photo are two layers.

Do you think what i am passing the url is correct to do multiple
filters.

i am getting the error like

msQueryByAttributes(): General error message. No query layer defined. 


i defined the filter item in my map file for the two layers.

Can any one help me whats wrong in that url.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <020d01c1ba25$d7868c40$e11fefd4@antares>

Hi, I'm using the MapServer and I wish to build some advanced graphical
interface functionalities. I'm interested on highlighting my maps features
(e.g. rivers, communes, lakes, etc.) with a special color when the user
passes over them with the mouse pointer. I would like to display some
information tips too. Sometimes it would be interesting to me to highlight
more than one feature (for example all the communes that are crossed by the
river the user is pointing).
Can someone help me?
Conceiving the information tips that appear on different features, I thought
about building image AREAs and using the ALT HTML keyword. Obviously the
problem is: how can I get the features outlines coordinates from the
MapServer?

thank you

Nicola

PHP 4.1.1 is not supported by MapScript yet.  See...
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0201/msg00291.html

And BTW, please also note that if you installed PROJ4 properly using
'make install' then you don't need to specify a path in the --with-proj
configure argument.

Hi Michael,

I can't speak for the postgis version, but for sure if you go with PHP
then you'll get best results with MapServer 3.5 and PHP4.0.6 configured
as a CGI.  

Note that there is at least one outstanding bug related to PostGIS and
queries from MapScript (should apply to all flavours of MapScript):

I've talked to the PHP folks and we will add an imageObj to the main mapscript to maintain compatability between them.

One other thing, I've had no problem getting the shared library to compile but am having a heck of time compiling the java class files. With swig I do a:

  swig -java -shadow -package mapscript mapscript.i

but when compiling even a simple class like colorObj.java javac whines about not being able to resolve mapscript.whatever. Seems to be hung on the package name. Anyway, I'm not a java guru and am trying to write a Makefile based procedure to add to the distribution. I realize there are other hacks that have to be made to the .java files (will try to script those) but obviously I'm doing something stupid if I can't even get the most simple file to build. Note that I'm moving all of the .java files into their own directory apart from the C stuff. Ideas?

One good thing. I found a native method in the big mapscript class 
msSaveImage(). It worked. It saved the image to the place I wanted. I 
have attached the modified version of your example file.

Hi Steve,

can you give the exact error message? When you "swigg" mapscript to
java-files as package "mapscript" they all must be in a directory
called "mapscript". Then you compile with:

javac mapscript/*.java

and it should work.

Harald

Hello,

(I hope that you don't get this message for the second time. I wasn't 
registered when I tried the first time. If so, I apologize for this extra 
mail!)

I just tried to compile the actual mapserver (MapServer 3.5 (12/18/01), 
downloaded from Mapserver Website) on Solaris 8 (Sun OS 5.8, gcc 2.95.3) 
with all required libraries installed (at least I think so :-) and 
configure with --with-apxs --with-php=/path/to/php/source and get the 
following error:

gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
make[1]: *** [php_mapscript_util.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/src/mapserver_3.5/mapscript/php3'

Any ideas?

java code is not ready to compile rightway. I got some 70+ errors. But 
those are simple corrections. Few missing 'long's in parameter type of a 
function or return type of a function. In all the java programs check 
for variables "rect" & "img" which are missing its datatype which is 
long. Also, in couple of instances 'class' is defined as variable name 
and since it is reserved word, it will fail to compile. In two places a 
function is defined twice and you have to comment out one.

I know Harald have done the same. If you want, I can send you the 
corrected java code. It would be great if there is a consistency between 
all the mapscript implementations. I looked into perl module, and it is 
very close to java's. I did not find the imageObj in that too. Instead 
it uses the same msSaveImage function from the native code.

Good luck with your java trial.

Hi all,

We can see in the new mapscript documentation the following example, but i
think it is wrong:
the msSaveImage function has now new parameters (six), or am i wrong. This
is the example of
the perl mapscript 3.3.

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

I also would like to know if it will be posted a "perl mapscript by example
how-to" like in php documentation.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I've compiled mapserver with gdal 1.1.5 my gdal config. supports hfa I've
checked this. When I try to display ERDAS img files I get a blank img.
Frank Warmerdam previously pointed out to include some debugg. info and this is
what my apache error log says whenever I click on an img file for viewing:
GTiff driver = 102d98, DS=0
GTiff driver = 1032a0, DS=0
He said a DS=0 is problem. By doing a gdalinfo on the img. I get foll
info. about the bands:
i.e. the color interp. is undefined so I have narrowed down the problem
but what is the remedy?
If anybody has worked around this please help me?

Band 1 Block=64x64 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Undefined

	Thanks Erwin,

	I have another question:

I put a form for the user write the street he wants to search. The street is 
localized and displayed in the map. I need to search the record in dbf file 
and after in shape file ? I now the relation between dbf file and shape file 
are done by record number, correct ?

Hi Michel,

Mmm,... coinsidence,.... working on about the same idea as you described ;-)

Relationship is ok. Once you have the correct row you can then use that one 
to search for the shape.

Myself i use PHP mapscript,... where i do it like this:

Search-Field ---> calls a javascript --> pass variables (like the 
search-field) to a popup window.
This popup is a php file which uses the variables bassed by the javascript.

In that popup-php it searches the dbf using standard PHP functions. It then 
returns both fields and values of the found row(s).
These fields are then passed to the popup-page.

It then is possible (you have it's index) to get the shape, create new 
extents, create the image and show it.
Highlighting is still my problem,.... i can only get the complete layer to 
highlight, but as it's zoomed in (shape-extents) it is no real bother.

I do however want to show only the found shape in an overview-map, but not 
found out how yet. Tried numerous, but all failed.
Any help regarding this would be great ;-)

Erwin

Hi V,

Had about the same question to the list a couple of days ago regarding 
getting the points of a shape.

If you found a way to get every point of a shape i'd really appreceate it ;-)

This i got from my Lowell F. :

Perl Mapscript example:
#
# Create shapefile object of existing data.
$shpfile = new shapefileObj("data", -1);
#
# Create shape object.
$shp = new shapeObj(-1);
#
# Retrieve shape into shape object.
$shpfile->get(1,$shp);
#
# Get first line.
my $line = new lineObj();
$line = $shp>{line};
#
# Get the first point of line.
my $point = new pointObj();
$point = $line->{point};
$px = $point->{x};
$py = $point->{y};
print "<br>POINT X=$px Y=$py<br>";
Doing such for each line of a shape and each point of
a line...

This error seems common on Solaris platforms... edit
mapscript/php3/Makefile and remove the 'gcc' at the beginning of the

PHP MapScript still does not support PHP 4.1.

(Given all the times this problem has appeared on the list this last few
days, I think it earned a place in a README.PLEASE inside the PHP Mapscript 
distribution and a FAQ entry too)

I can't give a PHP example but:
Once you have the shape:
make sure there is a place-holder layer in your mapfile set to off.
create a new shapfile object.
add the shape(s) to the shapefile object.
(don't forget to do a system level equivalent of "touch <shapefile>.dbf").
get a new layer object (the place-holder layer).
turn the layer on.
set the layer "data" to the name of the new shapefile.
draw the map.

Hello list.
Please, I have installed apache with this configure:
./configure --enable-module=so
php 4.06 with:
./configure --with-dbase=yes
--with-system-regex
--with-png=yes
--without-ttf
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-mysql
--with-pgsql
--with-config-file-path=/etc
Mapserver 4.05 with:
./configure --with-gd --with-php=/programas/php-4.0.6 --with-apxs 
--with-sde --with-ttf

Everything works fine, the configure and the make, but when I try to 
load the module, the page in the browser says:
*
Warning*: Unable to load dynamic library 
'/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/php_mapscript.so' - php_mapscript_util.o: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in 
*/usr/local/apache/htdocs/prueba.php* on line *2*

Am I missing something?
I've searched on the list, but it points to re-compile apache.
I'm using Suse 7.3

Thanks a lot,

Hey,
I'm new to all of this stuff, but figured maybe I could save someone some 
time. I am using mapserver with the basic demo templates provided in the 
itasca demo (which comes with the install package). Anyhow, I wrote a routine 
in perl to generate header, footer and base files for that format. It takes a 
.csv as an input and outputs the associated html files. The link is here:

http://www.soulswimmer.net/gis/layer.tar.gz

Also, if anyone has a site with php related mapserver help (I saw a perl docs 
site put up a couple days ago), I would appreciate.

I'm sorry about that.
I was missing the complete path in  --with-apxs
Now it works fine.  Thank you.

Your error means that the Oracle client cannot find the database (service)
to connect. Try using simply 'username/password' for CONNECTION to see if
the default service works.

Also, your DATA statement is not going to work. 'circle' must be in the
select list. Like "circle from (select circle...)". BUT, why are you doing
that? Try this:

DATA "circle FROM room_geoloc"
or
DATA "circle FROM room_geoloc USING SRID <srid#>" if you have an srid number
defined.

Well, my problem is that the database is not on the local machine.  I
guess I could create the local database and test it out.  If that is
successful I can always create database link in Oracle to access the
real data.

Thanks for the tip on DATA.  I will have more questions back on this

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.03.10202231349180.26641-100000@mercator>


 Hello !
 I am trying to use raster data within mapserver, which does not work.
 I have atempted to use various version of mapserver, compiled
 with or without gdal support. My data is geotiff, with the following
 indications extracted by gdalinfo :

 Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Size is 5441, 4851
Coordinate System is:
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",
        SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.257223562997]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
    UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]]
Origin = (-65.030748,3.840657)
Pixel Size = (0.000400,-0.000400)
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  ( -65.0307480,   3.8406570) ( 65d 1'50.69"W,  3d50'26.37"N)
Lower Left  ( -65.0307480,   1.9002570) ( 65d 1'50.69"W,  1d54'0.93"N)
Upper Right ( -62.8543481,   3.8406570) ( 62d51'15.65"W,  3d50'26.37"N)
Lower Right ( -62.8543481,   1.9002570) ( 62d51'15.65"W,  1d54'0.93"N)
Center      ( -63.9425480,   2.8704570) ( 63d56'33.17"W,  2d52'13.65"N)
 My mapfile is the simplest ever :

NAME mymap
SIZE 500 500
EXTENT -65 2 -63 4
SHAPEPATH "data1"
SYMBOLSET marker.sym

WEB
TEMPLATE dessine_carte.html
EMPTY /cartes/empty.html
IMAGEPATH "/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/tmp/"
IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
LOG "/tmp/log.log"
END

LAYER
  NAME "Im"
  DATA "Landsat2.tif"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
END
END # end of map file

In the log file, I can see :
Sat Feb 23 12:41:32 2002,22416,195.132.244.162,mymap,0,-65.498000 2.000000
-63 4.000000,-1.000000 -1.000000,,normal execution

The result is a blank image of 500x500 pixels.

I would like to know :
1. how to understand every statement of the log file 
2. how to test simply the raster capability of my mapserver
3. how i can understand what is going on with the raster
data for it not being displayed

 Thanks in advance for any answer

Which binary of mapserver are you using? Windows or Unix? -- just for
curiosity

Also, you could try to track the error by running sqlplus and trying to
connect to the database. You should get the same TNS error when you try to
connect.

Message-ID: <05D31DD35285D4488610D8C0C08F5962090B92@ytcmail.yorktel.com>

I'm on Mandrake Linux ProSuite 8.0.  Oracle is 8i 8.1.7 for Linux.  I
can access my remote database through sqlplus or a perl cgi program
without problems.  Mapserver was compiled with oraclespatial and the
path was pointing to the correct $ORACLE_HOME path.

I won't be able to try anything until Monday.  So I will create a local
database to see if I at least can conquer the connect problem.

After that I'd have to work with the spatial issues.  I'm not familiar
with Oracle spatial implementation.  My need is simple: I'd like to be
able to retrieve locations from the database based on certain criteria
and plot them on the map.  That's why in my original message I put the
'DATA' statement that way.  I thought I could pull the latitude and
longitude data and plot them as circles (that's how I understood the
Mapserver reference manual) with that statement.  If that's not the
case, Rod, I think I'll need assistance later.

Thanks.

Yu-Hsin

Okay, we can sort your application out later on. Let's first make things
work. Not sure if you're using MapServer CGI or MapScript... But either
tnsnames.ora doesn't have your database address defined (but you can use
sqlplus in your clientside, which is strange); or the ORACLE_HOME
environment variable is not defined in the runtime shell mapserver is
executing (but you can access oracle through a CGI program, which is also
strange).

However, the 2nd option is my best guess. My hint comes from the error
message itself -- Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12541 --
which means the client doesn't have access to the error string table which
probably stays in the client within of ORACLE_HOME. Briefly: no ORACLE_HOME
defined, no error message can be retrieved (let alone connecting to the
database).

I'm also running SDO in a Red Hat Linux environment. Becase httpd daemons
usually run in their own shell, we had to setup Apache with an extra section
defining ORACLE variables. This is it:

(in httpd.conf)
<IfModule mod_env.c>
SetEnv ORACLE_SID g10
SetEnv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
SetEnv ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
SetEnv ORA_NLS33 /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/ocommon/nls/admin/data
SetEnv NLS_LANG "brazilian portuguese"
</IfModule>

Cheers,
Rod.

Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] oraclespatial connect error


I'm on Mandrake Linux ProSuite 8.0.  Oracle is 8i 8.1.7 for Linux.  I
can access my remote database through sqlplus or a perl cgi program
without problems.  Mapserver was compiled with oraclespatial and the
path was pointing to the correct $ORACLE_HOME path.

I won't be able to try anything until Monday.  So I will create a local
database to see if I at least can conquer the connect problem.

After that I'd have to work with the spatial issues.  I'm not familiar
with Oracle spatial implementation.  My need is simple: I'd like to be
able to retrieve locations from the database based on certain criteria
and plot them on the map.  That's why in my original message I put the
'DATA' statement that way.  I thought I could pull the latitude and
longitude data and plot them as circles (that's how I understood the
Mapserver reference manual) with that statement.  If that's not the
case, Rod, I think I'll need assistance later.

Thanks.

Which binary of mapserver are you using? Windows or Unix? -- just for
curiosity

Also, you could try to track the error by running sqlplus and trying to
connect to the database. You should get the same TNS error when you try
to
connect.

Hello,

don't you have more than one Oracle install on your local server ? May
be
the
Oci don't look in the right tnsnames.ora file ?

Sure about that, your exe environment don't see the tnsnames, your test with
sqlplus see.

Thanks, Rod.  Looks like that was it.  I'm using MapServer CGI and after
I modified the httpd conf file now I'm getting "msOCIConnect() in
msOracleSpatialLayerOpen(): OracleSpatial error. ORA-04043: object
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY does not exist".  I think I'm in the database and now
I'm dealing with spatial cartridge.

It appears that I have to deal with SDO schemas, right?  I was hoping I
can avoid it with my simple need.  My application have many rooms which
belong to different customers.  I'd like to display different service
status using maps.  I don't have the Oracle Spatial user's guide with me
right now so I don't know what question to ask.  My original thinking
was that I have a table storing the latitude and longitude data for the
rooms and if I join that table with my service table based on room_id
I'll have all the service data and geographic data I need.  Now I'm not
sure I have to go to the office on Monday read the SDO guide and work on
it.

Thanks for your help.

Francois,
I had the same trouble some time ago.
First of all your mapserver looks for the tif file in the dir. specified
by the SHAPEPATH var.
Look at your server error log (apache or whatever) not just MS log. This
gives more information.
If your imgs. are 24 bit you need gdal and if they are 8 bit MS can handle
it.
Do mapserv -v and check if you have gdal or TIFF support showing up, maybe
you forgot to put the new compiled mapserv exe. in your server.
Try removing the " " around the file name.

You should have to recompile mapserver with the --without-tiff option
and --with-gdal=/path/to/gdal-config
Otherwise what happens is that when MS comes across the TIFF img. it calls
the TIFF libs. and GDAL libs. will never be called.

You could send us a "describe" over the table/view where you do the select ?!

 I made a few more tests :
- shp2img does produce exactly the right result
- i have compiled mapserver with gdal support and disabled
internal tiff support.
- the server log does not give any clue (neither Apache or MS log)
 The problem seems to be within mapserver... any clue ?
 Thanks in advance

Has anybody tried MapScript with java using SWIG  on NT environment . If
yes could you please provide me with the make file to help
me get started. I had managed to generate the java files from mapscript.i

Hello everyone,

I am new to this list and if i am asking an old or improper question I
apologize now.

I created a mapping system to let public health officials map census, health
and pollution data for Hamilton, Ontario.  Lately I have ben asked  if it is
possible to take that information and allow the user to map the data
cholopleth map using however many classification fields they want?  Is this
even possible with mapserver?  I have seen it done with MapInfo IMS.

Thanks.

Hello all,

I want to be able to implement raster models like ArcInfo GRID. To do
this I would need to be able to create new rasters based on existing
rasters. For example, "rain_yr = sum(rain_01 -> rain12)".

Has anyone got any suggestions on a raster GIS backend for Mapserver?
Something like PostGIS, but for raster woiuld be great.

TIA,

it seems to me that you are using the Sun C-Compiler. I observed an 
irregular behaviour trying to compile OSS. Maybe you should look for gcc 
and, if it exists (otherwise let your admin install gcc),  change the 
following:

#
# Pick a compiler, etc. Flex and bison are only required if you need to 
modify the mapserver lexer (maplexer.l) or expression parser (mapparser.y).
#
CXX=    c++
CC=     gcc

This should be CC= gcc

Maybe this helps...

Subject: [mapserver-users] Highlighting a found shape through it's index
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20020225121153.00a3f010@localhost>

Hi All,

i'm still having difficulties showing only the queryd object (highlighted).

 From a database-search i have the index of the shape.
Creating new extents so new created image is zoomed in to the object is no 
problem, but i do not seem to see the logic of the mapscript objects.

Now i have the following:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
/*
This is supposed to be showing a map with the queried object highlighted.
In the map file (see below) i have a dummy layer which should be used for 
the highlight

Input (GLOBAL) is:
--> qlayer  (name = park)
--> index (the dbf-file index of the queried object)

*/

// Start with default map
$NewMap = ms_newMapObj("track4.map");

// Create shapefile object.
$shapeFileObj = ms_newShapeFileObj($ShapefileName, -1 );

// Create shape object
$oShape = ms_newShapeObj(-1);

// Show the queried object, by turning ON a dummy layer:
// Default layername for this is --> layer + 'Query' --> eg. parkQuery
$QueryLayerName = $qlayer . 'Query';
$poLayer = $NewMap->getlayerbyname($QueryLayerName);

// Retrieve shape into shape object.
$oShape = $shapeFileObj->getShape($value -1);   // index from dbf-file (-1 !)

// Add shape
$shapeFileObj->addShape($oShape);

In the list and in the original Gmap example i have not found a way to get

Maybe the outcome (hopefull ;-) ) could be interesting for the HOW-TO

Thanks in advance for any input,

A lot of what your asking depends on what the data looks like that is going into MapServer. The toughest part is doing unions, clips, & etc. between seperate layers in order to determine results. That will take quite a bit of customization (see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ 4th paragraph ), however all the geographic feature information is available so it's possible. Or if all the layers that were to be used for analysis were preprocessed into a single layer so the classifications could be done using attribute queries only it would require less customizing.
Hope that helps.

Wich version of postgis are you running? I encoutered the same error
when trying to connect to a CVS-Snapshot of PostGIS (the comming 0.7).

According to the source code (mappostgis.c) 0.7 calling convention is not
implemented yet.

With the step from 3.4 to 3.5 the query concept has changed. The 
TEMPLATE tag has moved from the QUERY to the CLASS object
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/mapserver-FAQ.html#d41e38)

QUERYITEM is a tag from 3.3, not used any more.

Jason -

If you're using USGS DRGs, as you appear to be, those DRGs come in the
UTM projection.  Have you reprojected those images to a "geographic" or
lat/lon type of image?  Your "extent" line indicates extents in decimal
degrees, but that's not how the DRGs usually come.  You should look at
either the ESRI world file (.TFW) or the GeoTIFF tags in your TIFF image
to check the spatial extents of the image.

Hi,

Does the latest Mapserver 3.5 supports Map File in XML format . In the
source distribution there's a dtd for the same .

Frank:

Looks like you're experiencing the 3.3->3.5 syndrome I had before.

'QUERY' object no longer exists in 3.5.  Instead, you'd put your
TEMPLATE statement in your CLASS object. So the block of code in your
.map file changes from:

    CLASS
      NAME "County Roads 2001"
      COLOR 200 125 25
    END
 
    QUERY
      TEMPLATE "county_rds2001.html"
    END

to:

    CLASS
      NAME "County Roads 2001"
      COLOR 200 125 25
      TEMPLATE "county_rds2001.html"
    END

If you had HEADER and FOOTER tags they can stay where they are.

You shouldn't need the line for 'QUERYITEM'.

reference map show points instead of polygons? With a reference map that 
shows a large area, the rectangle can pretty well disappear when the user 
zooms in a lot.

Message-ID: <53273E187450D311ACF6009027927B12023388B6@smtpgate.auslig.gov.au>

I'm wondering if someone can guide me in the right direction as to how to
use the queryfile and savequery cgi variables in Mapserver 3.5

Currently I am displaying the  query results in the main template using a
header and footer.  I would like to then display the query results along
with the map and some other info (logo and some text) in another page that
is laid out in a printable format.

I am at the point where i can open this new window and display the map, logo
etc but not the query results.

Reading through the documentation it looks like I should be able to do this
using the queryfile and savequery cgi variables but am not sure how they
work.  I've managed to set these variables to save the query and can see the
.qy file it creates but not sure what to do with it after that.

Here are extracts of my map file and  templates:

## map file  ##

in the template i have a button that calls a javascript to pop the new
window, and radio buttons that allow the user to browse or query (using
nquery)

Nuno,

Indeed, the new perl documentation needs some miscellaneous fixes...

The proper way to save an image does utilize 6 parameters, as you indicate.
Try:
$legend = $map->drawLegend() or die('Unable to draw map');
$legendfile = "/path/to/web/imagedir/legendexample.png";
$legendurl = "/web/imagedir/legendexample.png";
mapscript::msSaveImage($legend, $legendfile, 2, 1, 1, 95);

The new parameters are for type of image (png, etc) and image quality (ignored unless jpg) - I think.
The order is (image, image_file, image_type, transparent, interlace, quality)

I'm guessing at the value 2 for image type.  I'm making PNGs.  The value 1 worked also. 
0 and 4 did not work for png, did not try jpg. 
The PHP documentation has mapserver constants that define the image types.
You might find somethng useful there.
I found the parameters for the above msSaveImage() listed in my web server 
error log when using the incorrectly listed paprameters.  Note: interlace and 
transparent are listed backwards in the 3.3 documentation.

Good Luck.

When installing mapserver to work with Mysql as the data source - what
special configuration should be performed during installation. I saw mention
of special compile calls for different spatial warehousing e.g oracle  in
the readme files  - is there something I should know abouot configuring my
mapserver to work with Mysql before installing.

I am new to mapserver and have just tried to install it for the first time.
I installed all the required modules.

After installation..... after typing ./mapserv   - to check my installation
I get the following error.

 - error while loading shared libraries: libproj.so cannot share object
file: no such file or directory.

Is this because I haven't configured PROJ.4 probably. Can someone help!

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don;t believe there is any
support within Mapserver to directly employ mySQL. If I understand the
documentation, postgres and oracle are supported, but not mysql. This
is, I gather, due to the fact that these two databases somehow support
shape or image data columns.
The documentation seems vague on this (I have set up a search engine to
search the docs [http://128.173.218.154/search/prog_lang.html] and a
search for POSTGIS turns up only four hits, one a comment in the faq
asking for information on postgis). However, I managed to locate a link
on a linked page to the following: http://postgis.refractions.net/
It looks as if these folks are in the know. I am going to explore this
myself, and see if I can't make the switch from mysql to postgres.

hope this helps,
Rob

Mapserver Support

I want to use mapserver with mysql and the perl DBI:DBD  module. 
Recently I setup a nearest locator system using this model on my 
webserver and it works fine. I want to now take it a step further 
by using mapserver with GIS datasets to offer maps of the US.

What configuration is necessary to use mysql as the spatial 
warehousing when installing Mapserver? In the documentation you 
had special configuration for oracle i.e --with-oraclespatial, is 
there are similar call for Mysql. 

Is there any documentation or support available for structuring 
the datasets in mysql etc.??

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Ashley Joyce

I'm sorry to disturb you again with the same problem, but I can not 
figure out why do I have to install gdal library,
if I didn't need it with MS 3.4.

The error appears when I use a tiff image as background map, so I 
decided to use a png, with the same result:

*Warning*: MapServer Error in msDrawRasterLayer( PNG ): Raster 
reprojection supported only with the GDAL library. in 
*/usr/local/apache/htdocs/sig/admin/templates/mapa_form.php* on line *246*

*Fatal error*: Call to a member function on a non-object in 
*/usr/local/apache/htdocs/sig/admin/templates/mapa_form.php* on line *247*

But the error doesn't appear every time,  only in some zooms.

Do I have to install gdal anyway?
Why?

Thanks a lot,

mysql has nothing to do with storing geographic data. mysql is simply a
popular choice of database for non-spatial attribute data.

Message-ID: <sc7b592c.019@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

I do this on our recreation compass application by using a bit of
javascript to trigger reference map creation. You probably could avoid
the javascript entirely by using minscale/maxscale appropriately. The
important thing is that I don't use a reference map object at all,
rather a special mapfile for just the reference map. I'll pass along my
setup if interested. Let me check out the scale issue (removing
javascript) to simplify matters first though.

I think this question has gone around before, but I struck out in my
search 
of the archive, so here goes - How can you switch between having the 
reference map show points instead of polygons? With a reference map that

shows a large area, the rectangle can pretty well disappear when the
user 
zooms in a lot.

Dear MapServer users,
What started with some messing around with some simple interfaces for
rendering OGC WMS content, ended up as a simple, generic map interface
that can be inserted into almost any HTML document to produce a dynamic
map.  The script does not perform any resource discovery and at this
stage does not support feature query of features.  

Note that this script is not intended to provide a full featured map
interface, but it is still fun to use where a static picture doesn't
provide the information needed and all that's needed is a simple,
minimal effort spatial viewer.

All the data sources for the examples are from WMS compliant mapserver
installations, hence the relevance to this list.

The documentation and code can be found at:
http://tsadev.speciesanalyst.net/documentation/ow.asp?InlineWMSMap

I also took the liberty of inserting a demo in the Mapserver wiki.  See 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?JavaScriptMapServer

can't really, in the mapscript kind-of way, at least not yet. However, you
can do something like this... works quite well.

For the one or two of you that might be interested, the simple WMS
client reported earlier now supports rudimentary feature query.

For example, go to 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?JavaScriptMapServer

and CTRL+SHIFT+CLICK on a country (in the map on top) to retrieve some
basic unformatted text in a pop-up window.

msLoadMap() : Unable to access file
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mapserver-demos/itasca/demo.map

My path to htdocs resides in another directory on my system. How do you
configure the direction location in mapserv.
I've already added the complete paths to my dem_init.html form.... however
it seems to ignore these paths.

Is the path definition configured within the mapserv cgi file. If so how do
you reconfig the htdocs path.

error

msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined symbol "symbols/ctyhwy.gif" in class 0 of layer ctyrdln3_anno. 

This probably relates to the new version not having support for gif files. Can I change each gif image to say jpg in the demo.map file as I don't want to comment out all the symbols in the demo. 

Can someone give me some advice on setting up the demo to use with jpeg images for symbols???

What kind of system are you on?

If you're on a Linux or Unix use vi or emacs or any file editor program
to edit your demo_init file.  Somewhere around the 12th line it has a
value with the full path to the map file.  Just modify the path.  If
you're not familiar with html file format, tags, be careful with the
syntax.

If you're on Windows then use notepad to modify the demo_init file.

Also, if you haven't done so the map file itself might need some
modifications.  If you run into problems just post the symptom here and
you'll get help.

Subject:	[mapserver-users] Problem running demo

I'm trying to run the demo included with the installation. After
submittting
the demo_init.html form I get the following error message.

msLoadMap() : Unable to access file
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mapserver-demos/itasca/demo.map

My path to htdocs resides in another directory on my system. How do you
configure the direction location in mapserv.
I've already added the complete paths to my dem_init.html form....
however
it seems to ignore these paths.

Is the path definition configured within the mapserv cgi file. If so how
do
you reconfig the htdocs path.

Kind Regards,

Ashley Joyce

Greetings all,

We're running straight Mapserver for the Bioenergy Atlas for Australia
and one of the limitations I see is the inability (I presume I'm right
here) to control the sequence of presentation of layers, aside from the
mapfile.  Aside from multiple .map files, what options exist for
altering this sequence?

Ditto theme colours and hash.

Subject: [mapserver-users] highlight of query ? using php 
Message-ID: <006301c1bf71$d83b7730$727ba8c0@davidpc>

I am trying to query then highlight the given object using php under
windows,
but i just cannot get the highlight to work ! .

below is  the snipp of code thats's bugging me !

the application can be seen here Based on DM Solutions Excellent  Demo
GMAP75
http://trackitdirect.com/track4/track4.php

my logic is as follows

I have a map-file with 2 layers. The first is the 'park' layer with status
as ON, and the other is 'parklight' with status set to OFF.
 From a database-query using PHP the row of the object is found. Zooming
into the extents of the found shape works fine.

Maybe the logic of creating the highlight should be something like:

1) Create new MapObject
2) Find index of shape (works fine here, no problem)
3) Copy that shape to a new ShapeFileObject   ( i think this is where i
screwd up ! )
4) Add this ShapeFileObject to an empty/dummy layer ( here also )
5) Change status of that dummy layer to ON
6) Show new created map

Like the option QueryPoint there does not seem to be an option/function to
show the object in highlight using only it's index.( would be nice to have i
think )
( or at least i can't find one )


here's the offending code !


                  $TESTMap = ms_newMapObj("track4.map");

                   $TESTshapeFileObj =
ms_newShapeFileObj($ShapefileName, -1 );


                   // Show the queried object, by turning ON a dummy layer:
                   // Default layername for this is --> layer + 'Query' -->
eg. parkQuery

                   //$QueryLayerName = $qlayer . 'Query';
                   //$poLayer = $TESTMap->getlayerbyname($QueryLayerName);


                   // Create shape object.
                   $oShape = ms_newShapeObj(-1);

                   // Retrieve shape into shape object.
                   $oShape = $TESTshapeFileObj->getShape($value -1);

                   // Add shape
                   $TESTshapeFileObj->addShape($oShape);




                   //$poLayer = $TESTMap->GetLayer($qlayer);
                   //$oRes = $poLayer->getResult(1);
                   //$oShape =
$poLayer->getShape($oRes->tileindex,$oRes->shapeindex);


                   $poLayer->set("status", 1);


 //$poLayer = $map->getLayerByName('park');

 # Turn it on.
//$sellayer->{status} = $mapscript::MS_ON;
$poLayer->set("status", 1);
#
# Set the data path to the new shapefile.
$poLayer->data = "C:\\phpdev\\www\\aweb\\track4\\data\\park";


                   // Draw the queried object
                   $imgXX = $TESTMap->drawQuery();
                   $urlXX = $imgXX->saveWebImage($imgXX, 0, 0, -1);
                   echo"<INPUT TYPE=image SRC=$urlXX NAME=zoommap
WIDTH=$QueryMap->width HEIGTH=$QueryMap->height>\n";

//end of code

 Here is a complete description of the bug :

 mapserver 3.5 (with proj and gdal)
 linux redhat 7

 I have a map file pointing to several layers (vector and raster).
 Mpaserv only accepts to display one of the layers (which is a 
 world map). The two others (local maps with the same characteristics
 as the larger one) are not rendered, either with the large one,
 either alone (with the same EXTENT, i.E. a zone of 2?x2?).
 I followed the advice of F. Wamerdam and i used shp2img in
 order to understand what was going on. To my surprise the image
 produced was exactly the result i was looking for...
 So I am trying to understand why mapserv does not understand
 my mapfile whereas shp2img does.
 Needless to say, the logs of mapserv do not report anything. 
 Besides, it does not seem to be a problem of path since mapserv
 does not report missing files.
 Thanks for any help

To the rescue there is a conversion program - gif2png.  You can download
the source tar file (for UNIX compilation) or RPM (for Linux with RPM)
from http://tuxedo.org/~esr/gif2png/index.html.

Please ignore my last email as I have sort the problem out, however, I
am now getting this error when running demo_init.html
 
error
 
msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined symbol
"symbols/ctyhwy.gif" in class 0 of layer ctyrdln3_anno. 
 
This probably relates to the new version not having support for gif
files. Can I change each gif image to say jpg in the demo.map file as I
don't want to comment out all the symbols in the demo. 
 
Can someone give me some advice on setting up the demo to use with jpeg
images for symbols???

The itasca demo gives you an example of using query files. have a look
in the demo_footer.html. The second image demonstrates the use of a
query file. Note that the build of the file name 
(queryfile=[map_web_imagepath]DEMO[id].qy) can be shortend by 
queryfile=[queryfile]

The ability to control layer order has been added recently (in CVS) to
the WMS interface and is also available in MapScript (in PHP at least).  

However this isn't available via the mapserv CGI yet.  Perhaps you could
file an 'enhancement' bug in bugzilla about this.

I have dealt with this by converting some of the demo images and setup files 
to png format. The following URL contains a tar file which if unpacked in the 
map server demo directory will overwrite demo.map (so save a copy if you have 
made substantive changes) and place the new graphic files in the appropriate 
sub-directories. It is meant to funciton as a patch to the unmodified itasca 
demo.

If you are using the stock "demo_init.html" format for your maps, there needs 
to be a seperate entry for each layer in this form. Look at the original file 
"demo_init.html" and it will be clear.

Being that a mapfile is just text, couldn't you dynamically create a map file with the layers you want in the order you want them and use that map file as the basis for a $map=new mapObj('temp_name.map'); call?

Frank, others,

yesterday I tried to compile PROJ.4 on my MacOS X iBook using gcc... I was
not successful. I am reproducing the few lines of seemingly error messages
from the terminal buffer... any guidance would be much appreciated.

Message-ID: <A0E513A7DCA9C24F933204619CEBB3D36EA2@email.geoanalytics.com>

I successfully compiled a basic build of Mapserver 3.5 on MacOS X 10.1.3. It
has png, jpeg, bmp, ttf support... I tested the binary on my daughter's iMac
which has no dev tools or other libraries, and Mapserver works just fine...
hums along. 

That means, I can give out the binary without having to have the user worry
about gd or libpng, etc. If anyone is interested, please email me and I will
mail you the file. It is about 650 kb. In any case, I would be very
interested in knowing the count of MacOS X users on the Mapserver list.

I am trying to build a more comprehensive version with the kitchen sink in
it (gdal, proj, postgis, etc.). Once I am successful I will build an install
package using PackageMaker. That way the end-user will be able to
double-click install the binary, any needed dependencies, as well as the
itasca demo in the correct places (assuming the standard OS X layout).

Subject: [mapserver-users] diff between shp2img and mapserv
Message-ID: <sc7cc0e9.048@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

The biggest difference between the programs is in how layer STATUS is
interpreted. Shp2img
takes what's in the mapfile at face value. That is, if the STATUS is
ON/DEFAULT the layer is
drawn, if OFF it is not. Mapserv by default assumes a layer is OFF
unless explicitly requested
by the user (DEFAULT layers are always on). Shp2img also ignores
anything in the WEB section.

 Hi !
 I have made a few experiments and confirmed that shp2img does
 what I want whereas mapserv does not... Have nayone experienced that
 and could anyone give me some hints to know what i should look
 after in order to understand the problem ???

I guess I am not sure what you are asking? If you want to know what the
advantage of using CF with Mapserver would be as opposed to some other
solution... well, then I would have to do some CF proselytizing here... this
is not the forum for that.

That said, CF allows you to build web applications as well as provide easy
database connectivity. For example, if you wanted to build an application
where your users would log on, be authenticated, then be able to retrieve
and save their preferences as they create custom maps using Mapserver and
getting attribute data to display from your database-du-jour... well, you
could use CF to do that.

If CF integrated with Mapserver seamlessly, then that would be even better,
howver, that is not possible as of yet. In the meantime you could use the
CFHTTP method I wrote below to accomplish the map-drawing part.

If, for some reason, you didn't want to use or couldn't use CF, PHP or Perl
would be your other options within the limitations they impose.

In short... CF is to Mapserver as PHP or Perl is to Mapserver.

Hth. Please let me know if you need further clarification, and I would be
happy to help. Also, pl. reply directly to the forum so others might benefit
from the discussion.

Thanks,

That's one way. There is a mechanism in the mapserver structures for
doing this but I don't
think it's been exposed through any of the scripting languages. I'll
let the folks at DMSolutions
expand on that if they care to.

 Hi there,

There has been an addition recently to php/mapscript of two sets of functions
relative to layer's sequence : (these functions applies on the map object)

 - boolean  setlayersdrawingorder(array layeryindex)
        Set the layer's order array. The argument passed must be a valid array
with all the layer's index.
        Return TRUE on success or else FALSE.

- array   getlayersdrawingorder()
        Return an array containing layer's index in the order which they are
drawn.

 and

boolean moveLayerUp(int layerindex)
        Move layer up in the hierarcy of drawing.

   boolean moveLayerDown(int layerindex)
        Move layer down in the hierarcy of drawing.


The idea is to change the layer's order when the map is drawn or saved.

I have dealt with this by converting some of the demo images and setup
files 
to png format. The following URL contains a tar file which if unpacked
in the 
map server demo directory will overwrite demo.map (so save a copy if
you have 
made substantive changes) and place the new graphic files in the
appropriate 
sub-directories. It is meant to funciton as a patch to the unmodified
itasca 
demo.

Subject: [mapserver-users] ShapefileObj without write in file
Message-ID: <sc7d08d3.043@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

You don't have to use a shapefile. You can use inline features, I think
there's an addFeature
method for layers. Or you can draw them directly using the
shapeObj/pointObj draw method.
Either way you don't write anything to disk.

	Hello all,

	2 questions :
	
	a) Is it possible to create with mapscript/php a new object
ShapefileObj 
without write any file in disk ?  

	b) I want to show one or more points in my map, is possible to
do it without

I have the mapserver demo version working properly and would like to use data from the tigerline site for the USA. I will start with one state at a time.... its heavy on space at around 3 -4 Gig. Can anyone give me some advice on where to get some help or point to some documentation for structuring the data files so it will work with mapserver.... I'm still new to this product and haven't quite got my head around all of it yet. I'm not very familiar with the GIS structure. I'm running on a linux machine with apache.

Another option would be to keep .map file fragments of
each layer and use CGI to assemble a map file in the 
desired order. I was going to do this, but Mapscript
was a much neater way of doing it. :o)

Ashley,

Structure your data like this:

/mapdata/tiger2k/{SS}/{SS}{CCC}/{files}

where {SS} is the state fips code
      {CCC} is the fips county code
      {files} are all the files for that state+county

I would also put boundary files that are larger than a county and other
datasets that cover the whole US in something like:

/mapdata/us
/mapdata/canada
/mapdata/mexico
/mapdata/oceans
etc

then create a tileindex for all the files under tiger2k and create
shptree indexes for the tileindex and the files in the other
directories. That should get you up and running!

You can see my version running with only the eastern half the US loaded
at http://swoodbridge.com/web2/nmap it is using 9 GIGS

Does anyone have any ideas. 

DM Solutions guys, 

Does the code in GMap that maps from pixel to map units work if I am
using lat/long data instead of meters like the original app was using?

Would it account for the symptoms I am seeing?

Any help would be appreaciated,

Bruce, Ashley,

I haven't tried GDAL because my understanding was that using it to
access TIGER source data was pretty inefficent relative to shape files.
Especially if you plan to do more than one state. I use shape files. I
don't think you can use shptree since it only works with shape files.
tile4ms also reads a bunch of shape files and builds a tileindex. You
could in write your own utility to read the tiger source files and build
an equivalent tileindex but I don't think there is a utility already
available - you might want to check with Frank Koormann or scan his
posts in the list archive.

Stephen,

I had what could have been a similar issue not too long ago.  Here's the
message I posted.

********************
I could be wrong or this may have already been discovered, but I think I
found a slight bug in the gmap75.php file that affects the zoom and query
rectangles.

The GMap75CheckClick() function includes the following code:

			if ($oPixelRect->minx >  $oPixelRect->maxx)
			{
                            // Use intval() to avoid dfTmp becoming a
reference
                            // to $oPixelRect->minx with PHP4 !?!?!?
			    $dfTmp = intval($oPixelRect->minx);
			    $oPixelRect->set("minx",$oPixelRect->maxx);
			    $oPixelRect->set("maxx",$dfTmp);
			}
**line of code in question**
			if ($oPixelRect->miny <  $oPixelRect->maxy)
**line of code in question**
			{
			    $dfTmp = intval($oPixelRect->miny);
			    $oPixelRect->set("miny", $oPixelRect->maxy);
			    $oPixelRect->set("maxy", $dfTmp);
			}
		    }

Should this -
	"if ($oPixelRect->miny <  $oPixelRect->maxy)"
be this -
	"if ($oPixelRect->miny >  $oPixelRect->maxy)" 
instead?

Thanks,
Stephan

Maybe this will help.

Message-ID: <A0E513A7DCA9C24F933204619CEBB3D36EAF@email.geoanalytics.com>

Steve,

You were right... I was too impatient. I successfully compiled
Perl/Mapscript yesterday. It took about 9 mins... no activity at all, and
then, pow!

It works sweet. Thanks. Are any of your Perl/Mapscript example source files
available for download? That would really help, combined with Lowell's docs.

(Now, there is that matter of GDAL, Proj.4, etc. that I have to tackle.
Hoping to hear from Frank, or someone else.)

Btw, could you (or someone else... Lowell, perhaps) explain to me what "make
install" does? The reason I ask is... how could I move the mapscript.pm
module to another computer (same OS, of course) without having to recompile
it? It is not just a matter of copying the .pm file to the Perl modules
library, is it?

Tia,

OK, a little debugging and some good guessing and things are looking
much better for me anyway. I had two separate problems that were
thankfully uncoupled :)

1) The ZOOM OUT problem.

This require the follow change to be made to gmap75.php3, search for
ZOOM_OUT and change the if condition to:

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*      Check for zoom out (auto-submit) button.                     */
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------- */
    else if ($HTTP_FORM_VARS["CMD"] == "ZOOM_OUT" &&
             ($HTTP_FORM_VARS["INPUT_COORD"] == "0,0;0,0" ||
              $HTTP_FORM_VARS["INPUT_COORD"] == "") &&
             !$HTTP_FORM_VARS["mainmap_x"])
    {

This was required because INPUT_COORD was equally to "" or "0,0;0,0"
depending on diferent conditions. This might be because of changes I
made to gmap75 but it should be a safe change for everyone.

2) Zoom way in

This turned out to be a problem where the extents of my map file had a
different aspect ratio the the image size.

>> problematic:
SIZE 600 600
EXTENTS -180 -90 180 90

>> no problem:
SIZE 600 600
EXTENTS -180 -180 -180 180 180

I have asked Assefa to see if it is possible to make gmap detect this
and make appropriate ajustments so it will be more robust. Otherwise, if
you had image sizes that did not ALL have the same aspect ratio them you
would run into this problem just by changing the image size.

I want to thank everyone that responded to my request for help both on
and off the list. It seems that at least two other people were having
zoom problems. Also major thanks to DM Solutions for their offer to help
solve this problem.

What do you mean by this? Could you give a more detailed explaination of
the interaction between the user and the displayed results that you are
trying to acheive.

For example, when you add a new layer is it like 2. below? Where does
the data come from? How much data do you expect to add over time? Is the
data added by one user visible by all users?

Both 1 and 2 suggest that you will need to write an application in Perl
or PHP or Java that will handle the interface with the user to collect
the data, let the user correct mistakes, display it and save it on the
server.

Mapserver is a rendering engine and while it has some the basic  ability
to create shape files, and add features to a map, the most flexible of
these are via MapScript. Both Perl and PHP MapScript are suitable
languages for developing an application that would allow your users to
add layers and drawings to your maps.

I hope this helps you to get started.

The best examples I have are in MapServer Workbench (msworkbench.sf.net).
I haven't had time to fully update this code for MapServer 3.5 yet, but
it's high on my todo list.  The code that's available is for MapServer 3.4.

Of the four programs in the Workbench, msexplorer.tcl probably does the
most - it opens a mapfile, renders images, queries points; msshapex.tcl
does some manipulation with shapefiles.  Review the source code to
these programs for ideas on how to program Mapscript/Tcl.

The tiny example Tcl program in 
mapserver_3.5/mapscript/tcl/examples/shpinfo.tcl
illustrates how the Mapscript objects are used:


        mapscript::shapefileObj shp1 $file -1
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	object constructor     object constructor 
                               name   arguments

        # shp1 will be a Mapscript shapefile object


then, invoke methods on the object:

        puts "\tnumber of features: [shp1 cget -numshapes]"
                                     ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ 
                                     obj  method  arguments

In this case, the 'cget' method returns object member data.

Some return values you would get are pointers to other objects.  I build
some 'helper' procs to easily deal with them (in effect, it's like
'casting' the pointer to a certain object type):

        set rectPtr [shp1 cget -bounds]
        #rectPtr is a pointer to an object

        puts "\tbounds: ([mapscript::rectObjRef $rectPtr cget -minx] ...."
        # 'cast' the pointer as a rectObj, and invoke the cget method


SWIG actually provides a constructor to turn an object pointer (like rectPtr) 
into a bona-fide object, but in many cases you just want access to the
object in order to access some memeber data, so why bother.  Plus if you
do instantiate an object reference, you'll need to manually delete it
after you're finished with it.

The SWIG generated doc file is fairly terse, but does give an idea of
what methods and member data is available for each mapfile object.


Good luck,
Tom

Hi guys, I'm new to both CGI and PHP, but saw an example somewhere in a CGI
script that allowed you to enter in raw HTML instead of putting in a
separate PRINT command for it.  I cannot, for the life of me, find this
example again though.  I though it would allow me to easy put in PHP stuff
into my CGI script.
I thought it went something like this:

.......
$query->start_html;
print "bleh bleh";
ECHO END >>>>
<B>This is bold</B>
<? PHP script stuff ?>
END <<<<
$query->end_html;

Know what I mean?  I don't know what you call this and have searched and
searched the docs with no avail :(

One type of application I'm hoping to get to is being able to interactively
upload a shape file and then view it on your map.  Now that would be
"dynamic" eh?
Anyone playing around with this?

Charles,

Please note that as far as I am aware no one has found much success with
Perl/Mapscript on Windows.

Note to SDL and other Perl/Mapscript users: I know we have visited this
issue in the past... could someone with a Windoze box and Perl inclination
want to establish definitively whether or not this is possible. While I have
a Windoze box here at work, I do not have the C compiler. Additionally,
while I am very keenly inclined toward Perl, I usually let Indigostar's gpm
manage the packages on my Win box. On my MacOS X computer at home I use
CPAN. Yesterday's "perl Makefile.pl" adventure was virgin territory for me.
That I came out fairly unscathed is nice.

>  or for Mapscript PHP 4.1.1
>  for the Windows Nt operating system.

The PHP/Mapscript module does not work with PHP 4.1.1 as of yet. As of now
it requires PHP 4.0.6 or less. Daniel and friends are the conclusive
authority on this. Additionally, there are some hassles in running the
PHP/Mapscript module on Windows with Apache. I was unsuccessful in making
this work on my Windoze box.

Note to the scripting gurus: It would be really nice if installing the
Mapscripting modules, both Perl and PHP, became simpler than it is. I know
behind that simple statement is a fairly tall order, but it _has_ to be
accomplished to make things easier for those who might know the scripting
languages, but otherwise might not be compiler-savvy. If there is anything I
could do here to contribute I would... unfortunately, I am still one of the
unwashed masses. Someday I will pick up the Kernighan-Ritchie book, but
until then...

Sorry Charles,

This doesn't make to much sense based on the way things work in a
webserver regarding cgi or php. Basically php is a cgi like thing and
typically the way cgi-ish things work is they execute a script (be it
perl, php, tcl, and executable or whatever) and the output of the
process is sent back to the browser. So the problem you would have with
your example below is that you could output php code, but it would NOT
get executed because it would be default be sent to the browser and php
has to be executed on the server.

SOoooo, why don't you tell us what you are trying to accomplish from an
application point of view and we or I might be more helpful :)

I am not say that you can't get a cgi script to write a php script and
then trick the broswer into executing it, but this is very convoluted
when probably anything you can do in php you could also do in another
cgi language directly without all the convultions.

Ugh...very good point.  No wonder I couldn't find any docs on it! :) (duh)
Now that I think about it, the examples I saw were for javascript - not php
- so it would make sense if javascript was sent to the browser via CGI -
but I had forgot about the need to interpret php before sending to the
browser.

I'm just working on a basic php database application which is currently
written in CGI.  I was hoping to slowly move chunks of it over - but I
guess I don't have that luxury.  I'm not using it for anything related to
mapserver, though I hope to delve into mapscript sometime in the future
with another project.

Thank you Stephen, for clearing that up for me.  But do you know what
function I was looking for?  (i.e. that echo >>> junk in my example)

This doesn't make to much sense based on the way things work in a
webserver regarding cgi or php. Basically php is a cgi like thing and
typically the way cgi-ish things work is they execute a script (be it
perl, php, tcl, and executable or whatever) and the output of the
process is sent back to the browser. So the problem you would have with
your example below is that you could output php code, but it would NOT
get executed because it would be default be sent to the browser and php
has to be executed on the server.

SOoooo, why don't you tell us what you are trying to accomplish from an
application point of view and we or I might be more helpful :)

I am not say that you can't get a cgi script to write a php script and
then trick the broswer into executing it, but this is very convoluted
when probably anything you can do in php you could also do in another
cgi language directly without all the convultions.

You are referring to the CGI.pm module by Lincoln Stein. It is actually
part of the core module library that comes with all distributions of
Perl.

run 'perldoc CGI' to get the man page.

However, this is not going to help you integrate PHP scripts into your
CGI
application. To do that you need to make a call to the web server so it
can
compile the PHP code. This can be done fairly easily in situations where
you
need to include a standard header that includes PHP code. You can do
this 
using the LWP module (part of lib-www).

I also have some modules for making Perl aware of PHP sessions. However,
there
is much room for improvement for integrating PHP and Perl.

first, PHP is kinda CGI... usually two CGIs don't co-exist. One is more than
enough to do the job, and they get in each other's ways.


> I thought it went something like this:

> .......
> $query->start_html;
> print "bleh bleh";

in the case of the above two statements, you have a PHP block, and these are
PHP commands. For example, the print function is writing out "bleh bleh".


> ECHO END >>>>
> <B>This is bold</B>
> <? PHP script stuff ?>
> END <<<<


in the above 3 statements you are using the Perl-kinda heredoc method of
writing a block of text (I don't know PHP well enough... didn't know you
could do this in PHP as well). Then, within the block of text that you have
escaped from the PHP block by using ECHO END >>>> you are once again
escaping back to PHP using <? ... ?>. This is a bit convoluted. Do one or
the other, unless you have good reason to.

In Perl you can use embperl to make it behave PHP/ASP like so you can embed
Perl code in arbitrarily inside text.

Hope the above doesn't confuse you even more. Other's on the list might be
able to explain better, or perhaps you might want to elaborate what you
actually want to do.

You'd be better off calling your code from inside PHP
if you really needed it. PHP is usually set up as a
module in your server, so it's probably going to be
respond faster than a CGI.

As for the database, you could excise the CGI specifics
in your database and call them from inside PHP as functions.
Later on, you could re-write each function as native PHP.
I do this to keep all database specific stuff out of my apps:

function select_old ($sql) {
	system(myoldcgoappmodified "$sql");
	... stuff happens...
	return $result;
}

function select($sql, $link) {
	if (!($result = mysql_query($sql,$link))) {
		echo("SQL query failed: $sql from $link<BR>\n");
	}
	return $result;
}

There is a patch for PHP on http://www.php.net that PHP users should investigate.

>From my reading, file upload functions can be used to execute arbitrary code.

If you are installing PHP on an external box, you should be switching off functions
you are not using, things like system and file functions. There's a lot of good
material on the PHP site.

Keep in mind that if you plan on using PHP/MapScript you will need to
use PHP 4.0.6 and configure it as a CGI rather than a loaded module.

I successfully compiled a basic build of Mapserver 3.5 on MacOS X 10.1.3. It
has png, jpeg, bmp, ttf support... I tested the binary on my daughter's iMac
which has no dev tools or other libraries, and Mapserver works just fine...
hums along. 

That means, I can give out the binary without having to have the user worry
about gd or libpng, etc. If anyone is interested, please email me and I will
mail you the file. It is about 650 kb. In any case, I would be very
interested in knowing the count of MacOS X users on the Mapserver list.

I am trying to build a more comprehensive version with the kitchen sink in
it (gdal, proj, postgis, etc.). Once I am successful I will build an install
package using PackageMaker. That way the end-user will be able to
double-click install the binary, any needed dependencies, as well as the
itasca demo in the correct places (assuming the standard OS X layout).

Subject: [mapserver-users] diff between shp2img and mapserv
Message-ID: <sc7cc0e9.048@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

The biggest difference between the programs is in how layer STATUS is
interpreted. Shp2img
takes what's in the mapfile at face value. That is, if the STATUS is
ON/DEFAULT the layer is
drawn, if OFF it is not. Mapserv by default assumes a layer is OFF
unless explicitly requested
by the user (DEFAULT layers are always on). Shp2img also ignores
anything in the WEB section.

 Hi !
 I have made a few experiments and confirmed that shp2img does
 what I want whereas mapserv does not... Have nayone experienced that
 and could anyone give me some hints to know what i should look
 after in order to understand the problem ???

I guess I am not sure what you are asking? If you want to know what the
advantage of using CF with Mapserver would be as opposed to some other
solution... well, then I would have to do some CF proselytizing here... this
is not the forum for that.

That said, CF allows you to build web applications as well as provide easy
database connectivity. For example, if you wanted to build an application
where your users would log on, be authenticated, then be able to retrieve
and save their preferences as they create custom maps using Mapserver and
getting attribute data to display from your database-du-jour... well, you
could use CF to do that.

If CF integrated with Mapserver seamlessly, then that would be even better,
howver, that is not possible as of yet. In the meantime you could use the
CFHTTP method I wrote below to accomplish the map-drawing part.

If, for some reason, you didn't want to use or couldn't use CF, PHP or Perl
would be your other options within the limitations they impose.

In short... CF is to Mapserver as PHP or Perl is to Mapserver.

Hth. Please let me know if you need further clarification, and I would be
happy to help. Also, pl. reply directly to the forum so others might benefit
from the discussion.

Thanks,

That's one way. There is a mechanism in the mapserver structures for
doing this but I don't
think it's been exposed through any of the scripting languages. I'll
let the folks at DMSolutions
expand on that if they care to.

 Hi there,

There has been an addition recently to php/mapscript of two sets of functions
relative to layer's sequence : (these functions applies on the map object)

 - boolean  setlayersdrawingorder(array layeryindex)
        Set the layer's order array. The argument passed must be a valid array
with all the layer's index.
        Return TRUE on success or else FALSE.

- array   getlayersdrawingorder()
        Return an array containing layer's index in the order which they are
drawn.

 and

boolean moveLayerUp(int layerindex)
        Move layer up in the hierarcy of drawing.

   boolean moveLayerDown(int layerindex)
        Move layer down in the hierarcy of drawing.


The idea is to change the layer's order when the map is drawn or saved.

Later,

You don't have to use a shapefile. You can use inline features, I think
there's an addFeature
method for layers. Or you can draw them directly using the
shapeObj/pointObj draw method.
Either way you don't write anything to disk.

Another option would be to keep .map file fragments of
each layer and use CGI to assemble a map file in the 
desired order. I was going to do this, but Mapscript
was a much neater way of doing it. :o)

Ashley,

Structure your data like this:

/mapdata/tiger2k/{SS}/{SS}{CCC}/{files}

where {SS} is the state fips code
      {CCC} is the fips county code
      {files} are all the files for that state+county

I would also put boundary files that are larger than a county and other
datasets that cover the whole US in something like:

/mapdata/us
/mapdata/canada
/mapdata/mexico
/mapdata/oceans
etc

then create a tileindex for all the files under tiger2k and create
shptree indexes for the tileindex and the files in the other
directories. That should get you up and running!

You can see my version running with only the eastern half the US loaded
at http://swoodbridge.com/web2/nmap it is using 9 GIGS

I never saw any response to this post, I am somewhat at a loss on this.
Does anyone have any ideas. 

DM Solutions guys, 

Does the code in GMap that maps from pixel to map units work if I am
using lat/long data instead of meters like the original app was using?

Would it account for the symptoms I am seeing?

Any help would be appreaciated,

Stephen,

I had what could have been a similar issue not too long ago.  Here's the
message I posted.

********************
I could be wrong or this may have already been discovered, but I think I
found a slight bug in the gmap75.php file that affects the zoom and query
rectangles.

The GMap75CheckClick() function includes the following code:

			if ($oPixelRect->minx >  $oPixelRect->maxx)
			{
                            // Use intval() to avoid dfTmp becoming a
reference
                            // to $oPixelRect->minx with PHP4 !?!?!?
			    $dfTmp = intval($oPixelRect->minx);
			    $oPixelRect->set("minx",$oPixelRect->maxx);
			    $oPixelRect->set("maxx",$dfTmp);
			}
**line of code in question**
			if ($oPixelRect->miny <  $oPixelRect->maxy)
**line of code in question**
			{
			    $dfTmp = intval($oPixelRect->miny);
			    $oPixelRect->set("miny", $oPixelRect->maxy);
			    $oPixelRect->set("maxy", $dfTmp);
			}
		    }

Should this -
	"if ($oPixelRect->miny <  $oPixelRect->maxy)"
be this -
	"if ($oPixelRect->miny >  $oPixelRect->maxy)" 
instead?

Thanks,
Stephan

Hi there,

 I am not sure what the problem is but I am going to look at it this
afternoon.

 Stephen, is it possible for you to send me the necessary files (map,
phpcode,
data ...) so I can try to reprodue the problem here.

Subject: [mapserver-users] diff between shp2img and mapserv
Message-ID: <sc7cc0e9.048@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

The biggest difference between the programs is in how layer STATUS is
interpreted. Shp2img
takes what's in the mapfile at face value. That is, if the STATUS is
ON/DEFAULT the layer is
drawn, if OFF it is not. Mapserv by default assumes a layer is OFF
unless explicitly requested
by the user (DEFAULT layers are always on). Shp2img also ignores
anything in the WEB section.

 Hi !
 I have made a few experiments and confirmed that shp2img does
 what I want whereas mapserv does not... Have nayone experienced that
 and could anyone give me some hints to know what i should look
 after in order to understand the problem ???
 Thanks in advance
