The problem is i'm using PHP/Mapscript, not the CGI version,
and the extents are right (they have been checked more than
10 times, i'd say)

How so? Looks can be configured through LABEL directives, SYMBOLSETS, FONTSETS,
etc. Make the image behave like a theme in arcview but in the browser?
Mapscript is your friend. For instance, you could edit the arcs in the
browser and save the editing as a shapefile with mapscript, you can even 
generate the shapefile and put a link to it for download.

What exactly do you mean?

That was my point, your ArcIMS emulator is written in mapscript with
some add ons :-).

BTW, I'm planning to integrate two applications i've developed in the
past, one in VB and MapObjects and other in Mapserver/Mapscript. The VB
is able to manipulate shapes and do some calculations on them and 
interact with a linux box in terms of sending commands for it to execute.
The MS application is basically a display and query application. 

I thought it would be nice to make the image produced in MS available 
for editing in the VB application. What is the desirable approach for this? 
following WMS is a must i presume... what other features and/or requirements 
can you think would be desirable? 

Thanks,

try:

$class->setexpression("([COST] < $maximum)");

setexpression receives a string. PHP's strings in betweeen '' are 
textually evaluated (ie no variable substitution occurs), so you
need to put those "" around it or use the . operator.

btw, the '' are not needed by mapserver, i have
this line :

$class->setexpression("($str)");

and works fine.

HTH,

Subject: [mapserver-users] Colors through mapscript
Message-ID: <20020705162845.A17255@www.selperchile.cl>

Hi:

I've been trying to change the color of a class with PHP/MS 3.5. The
docs for classObj say that color is an int, how can you
make that int from the three rgb values?

I've tried this:

$class->set("color",$r." ".$g." ".$b);

It changes the color, but not to the rgb combination specified.

and this:

$class->set("color",$r.$g.$b);

But that doesn't work either.

What is the proper way to do it?

Thank you,

Message-ID: <NGBBLHAKIMGFNHJNCJIMAEBGCCAA.robert-fritz@web.de>

Hello,

I try to use "imgshape" to query my maps, but I get either wrong data or
nothing.

Does "imgshape" not work ( see:
"http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/mapserver-users/0205/msg
00033.html?line=23#hilite") or do I do a mistake?


1. Is there any Mapserver Version, where "imgshape" works?
2. Does the Mapscript "queryByShape" function works? (is it similar to
"imgshape"?)

Thank you,
Robert

Hi,
Can someone help me to catch exceptions in java that occours outside

You are correct that ecw images do not require world files. Is your ecw 
image within your extent, and is it in the same coordinate system 
(lat/lon)? I use gdaltindex with my ecw images to create a tile index. A 
tile index is simply a shape file of rectangles representing the extents of 
each image, but it is a good way to check you extents.

Manuel,

Mapserver does NOT delete the files in the temporary directory. It is up
to you to make a script or crontab entry that runs periodically to
remove old files from the directory or it will eventually fill the disk
partition.

Now I struggle to work through the tutorial and it's samples. Are there 
any alternative tutorials or documentations out there?

Message-ID: <3DFF131E4E6D2D4198CDD758F35A5353010ABBB5@postoffice.GASAI.Com>

Do you mean beyond the use of [SCALE]?

See the template reference in the docs.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/template-reference.htmlhttp://mapserver.g
is.umn.edu/doc36/template-reference.html

Note the need for *some* caution using this, as the docs say 

"Current image scale. The exact value is not appropriate for user
information but essential for some applications. The value can be rounded
e.g. using JavaScript or server side post processing.:

Here's an example using JavaScript to make it more 'palatable' in the
display:

<script language="javascript">
function fnxRoundNo(i) {
  var new_scale;
  new_scale = separate(Math.round(i/100)*100, ",");
  
  document.write("Scale 1:" + new_scale);
}
function separate(input, separator) {
    input = "" + input;
    var output = "";
    for (var i=0; i < input.length; i++) {
      if (i != 0 && (input.length - i) % 3 == 0) output += separator;
      output += input.charAt(i);
    }
    return output;
}
</script>

... here's the pertinent HTML

<script>fnxRoundNo([scale]);</script>

...

Does anyone know any easy way (without using mapscript) to get the map scale

Thanks in advance!

Presumably you mean a windows dll? If so, I don't think so (unless someone
outside of DMSolutions is compiling windows dlls). I asked Assefa
Yewondwossen @ DMSolutions the other day and he said that he had not
compiled a version with PostGIS support.

The bug that was filed via Bugzilla was fixed in version 3.6.1 and was
correct in the 3.7 development code. I've not tested the full
functionality though in some time, so if someone could confirm that all
is well then that would be helpful.

Hello,

I try to use "imgshape" to query my maps, but I get either wrong data
or
nothing.

Does "imgshape" not work ( see:
"http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/mapserver-users/0205/msg

00033.html?line=23#hilite") or do I do a mistake?


1. Is there any Mapserver Version, where "imgshape" works?
2. Does the Mapscript "queryByShape" function works? (is it similar to
"imgshape"?)

Thank you,
Robert

Yes, there's a tutorial for MapServer (in English).  I'm still in the
process of moving it back to the TerraSIP web site but you can access it
by going to http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/.  Look for the link to
MapServer tutorial.  The first three sections are working but I need to
fix the links on the rest of the tutorial.

Once I get everything working properly, I will zip it up and make it
available for download.  I'll have it read before the week ends.

Message-ID: <A35A461EBB6BD511859E0002A56B89CC02D76972@EXCORP03.corp.erac.com>

I've been using MapServer's new integration with MapInfo TAB formats
extensively.  I want to bring up some issues I've noticed with the MITAB
integration, mainly to get it into the mailing list archives for those
searching for answers like I OFTEN do.

- STYLEITEM "auto" doesn't extract the label information.  It is required to
create a second ANNOTATION layer for each STYLEITEM "auto" layer.  Helpful
to note that by naming both with the same NAME they will turn on and off
together.
- STYLEITEM "auto" shows a blank legend object in a template legend -
perhaps in a normal legend too but I only use template legends.
- Seamless layers will not work in "No Path" mode unless all layers are in
the same folder as the Seamless layer.  MapServer will return:
"msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. Open failed for OGR connection
`\MyPath\MySeamlessLayer.TAB'. File not found or unsupported format. "
Using "Full Path" mode to create your seamless layer will also not work
unless the drive mapping on your MapServer machine matches that of the
machine you have MapInfo on for the layers.  If you have a centralized
geographic data store like I do, your only option may be to place all layers
into the same folder and create your Seamless layer.  MapInfo

Other than these issues and a Seamless layer bug that is fixed in the CVS,
the MapInfo integration is working like a champ.  I've even pulled in a
polygon  layer with 75 business regions, each with alternating colors, and
it looks identical to what it did in MapInfo.  What took me about 5 minutes
would've taken me an extremely long time and hundreds of lines of code to
recreate it in the mapfile by hand.  

It's a great feature, and very well done.  My thanks go to the developers.

-Dan Martin

PS, if any of the above are unknown *bugs* let me know and I will post a bug
report.

 Hi
I've changed as you suggest me but the error is:
msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Requested font (Tunga) not found. 
i don't know what doesn't find tunga font , i don't understand and i'm in a dead end with this.
 
  "Timothy M. Thompson" <tim at GrizzlyLogic.com> escribi?: Bertha,

Drop the ".TTF" at the end of your FONT reference in your MAP file.

ie:
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      ANTIALIAS true
      FONT Tunga
      SIZE 14

(Note: I don't use double quotes around the font alias, but I think it works both ways).  

The word "Tunga" is all you need, since that is what you have listed it as in your "fonts.list" file.  

Consider your fonts.list as a lookup table (or alias table) for fonts and refer to them by their alias name only.  Mapserver will load the fonts.list file to find the path/filename of the actual TTF file.

Best,
Tim

Aaron, it sounds like your EXTENT for your reference image may not match
your EXTENT for your overall map file. Those look like lat/long coordinates,
is that what you are using for the rest of your map?

...hmm. Well, there are a number routes to go down that could help you
narrow down your problem:
 
1) Your reference image is a PNG. Looks like you are on Linux / Unix, so,
did you compile with PNG support... are your maps (run as PNGs) showing up?
You could comment out the reference part of your mapfile and see if your
main map shows up... if it does, then you can be relatively sure PNG support
is working. You must NOT have GIF support since that generated an error...
 
2) I have no idea if this will help, but you might try adding some color
defs to your reference object -
 
REFERENCE
  STATUS ON
  IMAGE "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Wausau\graphics\reference.png"
  SIZE 150 150
  EXTENT 253388.816486 170076.852191 298268.816481 214956.852186
  COLOR -1 -1 -1
  OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
END
 
3) Try it on CGI MapServer.

If you can use mapscript to do the query you can limit the number of
returned results with the sql 'LIMIT' clause. This even appears to work
with the DBD::XBase module's sql command subset.

Hi Nyon

As far as I know, in 3.6, it's there by default, with the code below it does it:

Here's the new reference map options.

MARKER works like the SYMBOL keyword in the CLASS. It's the MARKER use in
your reference map when the bounding box is to small (lower than 
MINBOXSIZE).
Default is the cross-hair.

MARKERSIZE is the size of the MARKER. Works like the SIZE in CLASS.

MINBOXSIZE is the min size of the bounding box. At this size or lower, the
cross-hair (or any MARKER specified) will be used. Use an integer value.
Default value is 3.

MAXBOXSIZE is the max size of the bounding box. Bigger than that, 
nothing will
be draw. This option is really usefull when the bounding box is bigger 
than the
reference map and does not appear on the reference map, you can prevent
mapserver from drawing a bounding box outside the reference map.

Hello:

I am running a Suse 8.0 linux machine and have installed map server.  I 
compiled the files and everything seems to work fine except that when I run 
the demo test, I get to the template file and their is a big black spot 
where the map picture should have been rendered.  And yes, I turned the gif 
files into png files.  Oddly, you can right click the image and choose to 
save it but when you try to actually save the map pictures (in PNG format) 
the computer says the file does not exist.  The /tmp directory (relative to 
the top level domain) is also empty.

Can someone please tell me how to get it to work?  I have spent several days 
reading all the documentation.  Thank you very much.

Respectfully,
IML

Message-ID: <m3k7oegrbk.fsf@gemini.local>

Hi list,

I am using mod_perl and mapserver in a hybrid environment: pre- and
postprocessing form data and html as well as coupling mysql data with
mapserver queries.

Having not dared to switch to mapscript for the generation of the
maps, I do this in a hybrid way by running the mapserver executable
from inside the mod_perl apache server.

This is a very stable solution which gives me complete freedom over my
html and sql database but maybe it is not the most performant way to
achieve my goals.

I would like to know if anybody does use mod_perl and mapscript to for
mapserver purposes and if there are any pitfalls to avoid.

Markus

     Hi all,
     I'm having a problem with the queryByRect function y PHP/Mapscript. My

I am new to GIS and have a few questions:

I have a database with GIS data for the location of historic sites -- FileMaker Pro is the 
database used.

I want to be able to use the GIS data to create a "clickable" map for a website  -- i.e. the 
Minnesota DNR website.  The website  I need to create is tourist oriented, not technical in 
nature.

My question is -- what is the software used "between" the database and MapServer and what 
must reside on the server at my ISP?

Thanks,

Deb Keddie

Well, I vaguely recall there was a problem with the fact that the mapscript
map object is not re-entrant, which causes problems with scripts "cached"
with mod_perl ... There should be a discussion a discussion about this in
the mailing list archives ...

Subject: [mapserver-users] mapserver and mod_perl hybrid


Hi list,

I am using mod_perl and mapserver in a hybrid environment: pre- and
postprocessing form data and html as well as coupling mysql data with
mapserver queries.

Having not dared to switch to mapscript for the generation of the
maps, I do this in a hybrid way by running the mapserver executable
from inside the mod_perl apache server.

This is a very stable solution which gives me complete freedom over my
html and sql database but maybe it is not the most performant way to
achieve my goals.

I would like to know if anybody does use mod_perl and mapscript to for
mapserver purposes and if there are any pitfalls to avoid.

Markus

They've done a good job--that's a nice looking application.  Is the
source code available?  I couldn't find a link to it anywhere.

Okay, thanks.  I wasn't sure if it was that simple due to projection
issues.

Thanks,

Hi,

I use MapInfo files. On one layer I have different geometry types. I define
only one type for example "polygon" in layer.
Is any possibilty to find out the type of shape (I have shapeindex)? I get
error - MapServer Error in msOGRLayerGetShape(): Requested feature is
incompatible with layer type. Maybe method getShape could return -1 when the
type is incompatible.

Thanks for any help.

There are users on the list that are using mod_perl & mapscript and I
suspect you will hear from them. The only issue that has come up so far
is:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0205/msg00088.html
You will find a quick-fix there that seems to have solved the issue(s) for
now. You will also find the reply from Steve in regards to the future
plans to resolve any issues for the long-term.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions. 

Is there a way to filter certain shapes based on either

For example if only continental area of US is wanted, to filter

Message-ID: <8AE17DD6AA4FD51191CD0002A5511681074A6E@s5-van1-r1.nrn.nrcan.gc.ca>

Hello all,

We are trying to get our php/mapscript implementation to render more than 50
classifications of a particular layer.  We have a new build that supports
the number we need (200) but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work.
As a test we are trying to use the same mapfile in a cgi implementation, but
now, we don't seem to get any true type symbols showing up at all.  At least
in the php/mapscript implementation (as long as we did not exceed the 50
class limit!) we got the TRUETYPE symbols to render.  

Is there a difference in how the fonts and symbols should be authored
between the two implementations?  If not, does anyone have any suggestions?
Has anyone been successful in exceeding the 50 class/65 symbol limits using
php/mapscript?  Any suggestions would be helpful.

To increase number of available symbols you have to change the MS_MAXSYMBOLS
constant in mapsymbol.h file and recompile.
In both CGI and PHP the symbols should be rendered the same way.

Hi all!

I've decided to use the --with-proj option in config the re-install mapserv.

I have a problem when I start mapserv .
my navigator displays an internal error.
the /var/log/httpd/error_log says :
mapserv:error while loading libraries:libproj.so.0 cannot open shared  object
file : No such file or directory.

certainly a PATH misconfiguration ...

this lib is installed in my /usr/local/lib.

Is there anything to configure like an environment variable or something like
that ?

Thanks for your help.

Have a nice independance day.

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP Mapscript: processquerytemplate() doesn't work?
Message-ID: <20020703082527.A7002@wblogan.net>

Hi,

I keep getting the following message:

Fatal error:  Call to undefined function:  processquerytemplate() in
...

when I call processquerytemplate() as a method of my mapObj.  I am
calling the function after making a query and drawing the query map.
If you need to see my script, let me know.  I tried searching the list
archives, but I get a 404 Not found error when I try to access them.

BTW, I'm using Mapserver 3.5.

Thanks,
Ben

hi MapServers,

I have a little problem:

When my Users are working in the Query-Mode for identify Feature and they dont hit upon a Feture, then the MapServer gives the Error-Message: "msQueryByPoint(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s) found."

How can I change this message, or how can I in this Error-Case to another HTML/ASP-Side.

If you are on Linux simply make sure that /etc/ld.so.conf contains /usr/local/lib (which it probably does) and then run '/sbin/ldconfig' as root then restart the httpd daemon.
The proj.4 install usually adds /usr/local/lib to the config file but the new path is not included in the library config until after ldconfig is run.

thanks it seems good,

but now when I run mapserv I have another internal error displayed on my browser : error while loading shared libraries :/usr/libwwwappp.so.0 : undefined symbol: HTZlib_inflate

I've re-installed zlib and w3c with --with-zlib option but the error still remains....

Hi Mike,

there are two parameters in the web object of the map definition which
can be used for this purpose, "Error" and/or "Empty" and url. "Error" is

more global and addresses all errors (wow!), "empty" is exactly for
queries without results.

Cheers, Michael

This will do the trick:

I have a work-around for now using two seperate layers and labeling one

Message-ID: <20020703181102.A12672@wblogan.net>

Hello,

I am trying to get PHP to work as a CGI on Redhat 7.1.  It works fine
as a DSO, but I want to use Mapserver 3.6, so...

I followed the directions at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI
on "Running only PHPMapScript scripts as a CGI," but it isn't working
for me--I always get a 404 error.

I have defined a VirtualHost section in my httpd.conf file which looks
like this:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.40>
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ben/mapserv_demo/local
        <Directory /var/www/html/ben/mapserv_demo/local/cgi>
                Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
        </Directory>
        Action pmap-script /cgi/php
        AddHandler pmap-script .pmap
        ServerName map.log.cabin
        ServerAlias map
</VirtualHost>

The permissions on the cgi directory are 750 and it's group is apache.
When I point my browser to http://map/test.pmap (filesystem url:
/var/www/html/ben/mapserv_demo/local/test.pmap), I get a 404 stating
that /cgi/php/test.pmap couldn't be found.  It appears to me that
Apache isn't rewriting the URL or something similar, however I'm not
very familiar with Apache configuration.

I would really appreciate your help, since I can't use Mapscript
without figuring this out (I keep getting random errors).

Thanks,
Ben

Make sure that /usr/local/lib is in your /etc/ld.so.conf directory
and then make sure you run ldconfig as root to update all the library
paths.  This is for a RedHat system so it may vary depending on your
system.

Message-ID: <28DE833A781BD511839600D0B772248F4F5E80@agsomail1.agso.gov.au>

Hi all,

Does anybody know of an interface between mapserver and ECW that will run on
Sun Solaris (unix)?

I know of GDAL, but it only supports ECW under windows.  Now that ER Mapper
has released the SDK for Solaris
(http://www.ermapper.com/cgi-bin/products/index2.cfm?prodid=185), does
anyone have plans to write an interface to mapserver using this SDK?

I'm contemplating getting a contract programmer to write this for me, but
wanted to save the trouble if it's already being done.

Well, it's probably something simple.  I setup PHP-Mapscript last
weekend with little trouble.  Although, I have little clue what I can do
with it.  ;-)

How about something like this:

 <VirtualHost 192.168.1.40>
        ServerName map.log.cabin
        ServerAlias map
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ben/mapserv_demo/local/

        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/ben/mapserv_demo/local/cgi/
	AddType application/x-httpd-php-cgi .pmap
        Action application/x-httpd-php-cgi /cgi-bin/php
</VirtualHost>

I use a .htaccess file instead of twiddling with the virtual server
config.  This way I can use the standard .php extension and switch from
mod_php to the CGI where required.  I also generally keep my cgi-bin out
of the web tree and map it with ScriptAlias.

Do you get a 404 when you request /cgi/php?  If so then make sure php
was installed to your cgi directory.  Probably either a config problem
or a file/directory name problem.

Message-ID: <01f101c2233f$6b18e2a0$0601a8c0@comai.loc>

hi,

i have some problem with a postgis layer visualization.

LAYER
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  NAME Ristoranti
  METADATA
    "DESCRIPTION"   "Ristoranti"
    "RESULT_FIELDS" "POI_NAME|Nome"
  END
  CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=market_db host=localhost port=5432"
  DATA "the_geom from restrnts"
  TYPE POINT
  STATUS ON
  MAXSCALE 30000
  CLASS
     SYMBOL "circle"
     SIZE 10
     COLOR 255 0 0
     OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
         TEMPLATE blank.html
  END
END

i defined this layer in the map file, but it is not displayed on the map.
The others layers are a "normal" shape layer and they are displayed
correctly.

This one is wrong. Why?

In pgsql I have defined the restrnts table with the_geom attribute.
have I forgotten somethig?

PS. Mapserver returns no error.

Thanks..
Stefano

I didn't get a 404, but the binary didn't get executed.  Instead,
apache would just serve up the binary as-is...it was pretty ugly.  I
created a simple python cgi script in the cgi directory, and it
wouldn't execute it either, so apparently what I had in my httpd.conf
just wasn't telling it to use cgi as a cgi bin.  It works with
your config.

Now I can compile Mapserver 3.6.1.  The whole reason I'm upgrading
from 3.5, is that a call to processquerytemplate in 3.5 always gives
an undefined function error.

Thanks for your help,
Ben

Subject: [mapserver-users] Can't figure out queries with Mapscript.
Message-ID: <20020704073501.A20289@wblogan.net>

Well, I'm sure I'm missing something simple here because I see other
people making queries work, but I simply can't figure it out.

I am using Mapserver 3.6.1 and PHP 4.0.6 on Redhat 7.1.  PHP is
running as a CGI (thanks to David Norris for help with that).

The only way I can see to make use of the results of a query, is to
create a template that contains some PHP code which I can then
evaluate.  To test things out, I created a simple template called
county.php which contains the following lines:

<?

$county = "[COUNTY]";
$state = "[STATE]";
echo "$county\n$state\n";

?>

(COUNTY and STATE are fields in the dbf file.)
In my map file, I have tried adding a

TEMPLATE "county.php"

line in the CLASS definition I'm querying.  (I have also tried using
the full path to county.php.)  When I call processQueryTemplate(), it
returns nothing.  So I tried moving the TEMPLATE line into the LAYER
definition, but that didn't work either.  The layer gets queried,
because the county I click is highlited in the query map.  Of course,
I realize that the data which processQueryTemplate() returns will need
to be parsed by PHP in order for the variables to be set, but I can't
get the function to return anything at all.

I found a message in the list archives that said that TEMPLATE defs
needed to be contained inside QUERY defs.  Like this

QUERY
	TEMPLATE dummy
END

I tried that in both the LAYER and CLASS sections, but either way
Mapscript gives a fatal error parsing the map file.

Am I going about this all wrong?  Even if this isn't the way to get
the query data, why can't I get templates to work?

One other thing: I had METADATA definitions in my LAYER sections that
looked like this

METADATA
	title "My Layer Title"
END

I was using these to define layer titles that Mapscript could use, and
it was working with Mapserver 3.5.  In 3.6.1, I had to comment all of
the defs out, because it wouldn't parse the map file.  Can anyone tell
me why?

I would really appreciate any help with these problems (especially the
querying problems).  I have included my map file and my php script
below.  They are both terrible messes because I've been using them to
get a feel for Mapscript.

Thanks,
Ben

problem solved but ....

I don't know why.

In the map file there was the following line:

DATA "the_geom from restrnts"

and I changed it with 

DATA "the_geom from Restrnts"

but in postgres the table name is: restrnts and not Restrnts

With this change postgis works (????)

	Hi, all.

	As far as I know, "JOIN" object was included in "QUERY" object in a
	"map" file. But "QUERY" object seems not to exist any more in
	MapServer 3.6. Now, Mapserver 3.6 documentation says that "JOIN"
	is included in "CLASS" object. Is this correct or am I wrong?.

	I have the next lines in my "map" file and doesn't work at all:

	.
	.
	.
	LAYER
	NAME "mylayer"
	DATA mylayer
	STATUS DEFAULT
	TYPE ANNOTATION
	LABELITEM "text"
	CLASS

		JOIN
			NAME "join"
			TABLE "extern_dbf_file.dbf"
			FROM "street"
			TO "street"
		END
	LABEL
		COLOR 0 0 0
	      SHADOWSIZE -1 -1
	.
	.
	.

	Thanks a lot in advance

Message-ID: <sd25870e.079@vopemail.palatine.il.us>

Sorry but I will be out of the Office until Monday, July 15, 2002. I will be checking my email periodically while I am gone and as soon as I return and will get back to you then. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks!

>>> "mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu" 07/04/02 06:35 >>>

Well, I'm sure I'm missing something simple here because I see other
people making queries work, but I simply can't figure it out.

I am using Mapserver 3.6.1 and PHP 4.0.6 on Redhat 7.1.  PHP is
running as a CGI (thanks to David Norris for help with that).

The only way I can see to make use of the results of a query, is to
create a template that contains some PHP code which I can then
evaluate.  To test things out, I created a simple template called
county.php which contains the following lines:

<?

$county = "[COUNTY]";
$state = "[STATE]";
echo "$county\n$state\n";

?>

(COUNTY and STATE are fields in the dbf file.)
In my map file, I have tried adding a

TEMPLATE "county.php"

line in the CLASS definition I'm querying.  (I have also tried using
the full path to county.php.)  When I call processQueryTemplate(), it
returns nothing.  So I tried moving the TEMPLATE line into the LAYER
definition, but that didn't work either.  The layer gets queried,
because the county I click is highlited in the query map.  Of course,
I realize that the data which processQueryTemplate() returns will need
to be parsed by PHP in order for the variables to be set, but I can't
get the function to return anything at all.

I found a message in the list archives that said that TEMPLATE defs
needed to be contained inside QUERY defs.  Like this

QUERY
	TEMPLATE dummy
END

I tried that in both the LAYER and CLASS sections, but either way
Mapscript gives a fatal error parsing the map file.

Am I going about this all wrong?  Even if this isn't the way to get
the query data, why can't I get templates to work?

One other thing: I had METADATA definitions in my LAYER sections that
looked like this

METADATA
	title "My Layer Title"
END

I was using these to define layer titles that Mapscript could use, and
it was working with Mapserver 3.5.  In 3.6.1, I had to comment all of
the defs out, because it wouldn't parse the map file.  Can anyone tell
me why?

I would really appreciate any help with these problems (especially the
querying problems).  I have included my map file and my php script
below.  They are both terrible messes because I've been using them to
get a feel for Mapscript.

Thanks,
Ben

I didn't get a 404, but the binary didn't get executed.  Instead,
apache would just serve up the binary as-is...it was pretty ugly.  I
created a simple python cgi script in the cgi directory, and it
wouldn't execute it either, so apparently what I had in my httpd.conf
just wasn't telling it to use cgi as a cgi bin.  It works with
your config.

Now I can compile Mapserver 3.6.1.  The whole reason I'm upgrading
from 3.5, is that a call to processquerytemplate in 3.5 always gives
an undefined function error.

Thanks for your help,
Ben

You may get this if you have 2 copies of w3c-libwww on your system: one
under /usr/lib that came as an RPM (or with the OS), and one that you
recompiled yourself and that got installed /usr/local/lib ... the
solution is to remove the copy under /usr/lib.  If your old wc3-libwww
came as a RPM, then use 'rpm -e ...' to remove it to make sure that you
delete all files related to the RPM version of the library.

Message-ID: <3D26102F.81BF1110@refractions.net>

I made a few minor changes to mappostgis.c.

(1) Better error message reporting.
(2) bug fix: you can now specify negative numbers in the 'using SRID=#'
portion of a DATA statement


Two of the most common places where people have problems is (1)
connecting to postgresql (2) getting the correct DATA statement.

Below are the two error message it will give when you make a mistake!

CONNECT
-------


Couldnt make connection to DB with connect string '...'.
Error reported was '...'.

This error occured when trying to make a connection to the specified
postgresql server.  
Most commonly this is caused by 
(1) incorrect connection string 
(2) you didnt specify a 'user=...' in your connection string
(3) the postmaster (postgresql server) isnt running 
(4) you are not allowing TCP/IP connection to the postmaster 
(5) your postmaster is not running on the correct port - if its not on
5432 you must specify a 'port=...' 
(6) the security on your system does not allow the webserver (usually
user 'nobody') to make socket connections to the postmaster
(7) you forgot to specify a 'host=...' if the postmaster is on a
different machine
(8) you made a typo


DATA
----

<postgresql error message>

More Help:

Error parsing POSTGIS data variable. You specified ''.
Standard ways of specifiying are :
(1) 'geometry_column from geometry_table'
(2) 'geometry_column from (<sub query>) as foo using unique <column
name> using SRID=<srid#>'

NOTE: for (2) 'using unique' and 'SRID=' are optional, but its highly
recommended that you use them!!!

The most common problem with (1) is incorrectly uploading your data.
There must be an entry in the geometry_columns table. This will be
automatically done if you used the shp2pgsql program or created your
geometry column with the AddGeometryColumn() postgis function.

If you are using the (2) method, you've probably made a typo.
Example: 'the_geom from (select the_geom,oid from mytable) as foo using
unique oid using SRID=76'
This is very much like the (1) example. The subquery ('select
the_geom,oid from mytable') will be executed, and mapserver will use
'oid' (a postgresql system column) for uniquely specifying a geometry
(for mapserver queries). The geometry (the_geom) must have a SRID of 76.

Example: 'roads from (select
table1.roads,table1.rd_segment_id,table2.rd_name,table2.rd_type from
table1,table2 where table1.rd_segment_id=table2.rd_segment_id) as foo
using unique rd_segment_id using SRID=89'

This is a more complex sub-query involving joining two tables. The
resulting geometry (column 'roads') has SRID=89, and mapserver will use
rd_segment_id to uniquely identify a geometry. The attributes rd_type
and rd_name are useable by other parts of mapserver.

NOTE: for the (2) case, the ' as foo ' is requred. The 'using unique
<column>' and 'using SRID=' are case sensitive.
NOTE: 'using unique <column>' would normally be the system column 'oid',
but for views and joins you'll almost certainly want to use a real
column in one of your tables.
NOTE: you'll want to build a spatial index on your geometric data:
CREATE INDEX <indexname> ON <table> USING GIST (<geometrycolumn>
GIST_GEOMETRY_OPS )
You'll also want to put an index on either oid or whatever you used for
your unique column:
CREATE INDEX <indexname> ON <table> (<uniquecolumn>)

Seamus,

If you are using Mapserver 3.5+ then you must use

ANTIALIAS TRUE

I was trying to send this directly to Seamus but the unbc mail server 
bounced it so I'll try via the list...

Set up a font.list file as described in the documentation and be VERY 
careful of case e.g if you define arial arial.TTF but the font is stored as 
arial.ttf it will fail.

Thanks problem solved.

Do you know how I obtain fonts so I can point my fontset path to the 
correct direction?

Try http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-
1&q=%2Bttf+%2Bdownload or copy the fonts from your Windows box (, but 
that might be in violation of your EULA.)

Subject: [mapserver-users] Labeling Rules -- spatial priority
Message-ID: <001a01c225c7$1eef15e0$0400a8c0@MAINFRAME>

Mapusers:

Good morning.  I've got some data exported from InfoCad which is point information with text and an angle (specifically its a parcel dimension layer).  The data seems to be triplicated (three records of the same data--though sometime more or less), unfortunately the data is not directly on top of one another but slightly off set.  

The data in the .dbf file is not sequential, so its not realistic to just null out the text label in sequential passess of the data.

Does mapserver have anyway to use a first come first label, so that it wont look triple typed.  i.e. if a label already occupies the space, it will only get one label?

Thank you for any suggestions.

There is a shpsort utility floating about that might let you sort the 
data based on an attribute, but I don't remember where I saw it.

Yes, if you set MINDISTANCE <pixels> in your LABEL definition then it 
will not place another label with the same name within <pixels> 
distance of the first one placed.

Hello.

 I'd like to know there's any method or examples of displaying contour map
creating from point data or grid data on Mapserver istself or with other
software?

 For example using mapserver for emvironmental analysis, I think displaying
contour maps of DEM, precipitation etc. wil be useful.

 Best regards.

Hi Paul,

I don't think there is much except the comments in the code, and the
user documentation which can tell you a lot about the way things work
internally.

However, one of our developers used Doxygen a few months ago to
automagically generate a set of mapserver source code documentation
(based on MapServer 3.5 source).  The result is quite impressive, and
even includes nice little class diagrams.  I've placed a copy online at:
 http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/mapserver-src-dox/

I'm sure other MapServer developers would be interested by the dox
above, or may have other documents to contribute, so I'll CC: this to
the mapserver-users list. (I apologize for the crossposting to those who
read both lists)

Ben...

There's probably a number of ways to do this, but here's how I do it (see
below). There's a Mapfile component, and a mapscript component. FWIW, this
is essentially exactly the way it's done in the GMAP demo.

Cheers!

Chip

----------------------------------------------------------------

...in the mapfile, this would be the layer definition for the layer I want
to query:

LAYER
  NAME "DePere_Parcels"
  METADATA
    "DESCRIPTION"   "PARCEL_INFO"
    "RESULT_FIELDS" "PARCEL_NUM AREA" 
      # These are the two fields (PARCEL_NUM and 
      # AREA) that I want to return
  END
  DATA parcels
  STATUS DEFAULT
  #minscale 5000
  TYPE polygon
  CLASS
    TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
    Name Parcels
  END  # CLASS
END  # LAYER

... in the PHP code, I have a function that handles the query...

function query_map($map, $real_pts) {

  //$map is the Map Object
  //$real_pts is an array with two members:
  //  $real_pts[0] x-coordinate in real world terms of the user click
  //  $real_pts[1] y-coordinate in real world terms of the user click
  //
  //NOTE that this function is set up to query only ONE layer, and return
  // the first HIT from a query... so it wouldn't handle multiple layers
  // or return results from numerous objects, although it could easily be
  // modified to do both.

  $click_pt = ms_newPointObj();
  $click_pt->setXY($real_pts[0], $real_pts[1]);

  @$map->queryByPoint($click_pt, MS_SINGLE, -1);
  $Layer = $map->GetLayerByName("DePere_Parcels");
  $count_results = $Layer->getNumResults();

  if ($count_results > 0) {
    $Layer->open($map->shapepath);
    $selFields = explode(" ", $Layer->getMetaData("RESULT_FIELDS"));

    //Take the first record returned, you could modify this to 
    // loop through a bunch of returned records
    $oRes = $Layer->getResult(0);
    $oShape = $Layer->getShape($oRes->tileindex,$oRes->shapeindex);
    //Save the bounding box to an array
    $aResBoundBox = array($oShape->bounds->minx, $oShape->bounds->miny,
                    $oShape->bounds->maxx, $oShape->bounds->maxy);

    //Retrieve the PIN into a variable
    $PIN = $oShape->values[PARCEL_NUM];
    $prcAREA = $oShape->values[AREA];
    $oShape->free();

    $query_result = array($PIN, $prcAREA);
    $return $query_result;
}

My php installation seems to have worked, but mapscript won't bite. Is there

Hi

I've used GRASS with great success, for generating
contours from an DEM. Check out.

 Thank you for your response, Mr. James.

Could you tell me any idea of dynamically generating countour mas when some
user's points with attribute data are put.

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer/Flash integration help
Message-ID: <OE26YAPNXRPmcarcR4Z00007042@hotmail.com>

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post such a request, but I'm a Flash MX developer looking for some paid contract help in integrating offline MapInfo files into an online site built in Flash.  I could probably figure it out myself, but I'm on a bit of a time limit and was hoping to tap into some pre-existing wisdom.  

I know that that there are plans in the works to have swf output support in the new version of MapServer, which sounds very exciting.  I don't necessarily need vector output though.  Flash MX (the newest version of Flash) supports dynamic loading of jpegs,  which should be fine. (although yes, I know, jpegs and maps don't mix all that well).  What I need is the ability to interact with point data in a dynamically loaded map. I'm guessing MapServer will need to pull this from MapInfo TAB files.  

I already have a basic prototype flash front-end working but would like some help with the MapServer integration.  Instead of javascript I'd be passing variables in/out of a swf, interacting with both coordinates in Mapserver and point data in MySql.  My front-end prototype uses coordinate 'buttons' of buildings that, when clicked, pull data from a MySql database.  I can take care of the MySql data, as long as I can link up point coordinates from MapServer with database IDs.  

I'm very excited about this project, and at some point would be happy to go open-source with the Flash front-end.  I think there is a lot of potential in using the newest version of Flash in online mapping applications.  If anyone is interested in helping (paid of course) or giving some advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dylan Marks

Hi

I imagine it is possible using mapscript but i'm not
up to speed with it yet. If you can execute commands
from input by the user with mapscript it would work.

The GRASS module, r.contour would be able to generate
contours, but you would need the help of someone who
can write mapscript, to be able to do it dynamically.
I hope to be able to do it also someday when i have
time. As i would like the users to use the system to
model ecosystems.

There is a shpsort utility floating about that might let you sort the 
data based on an attribute, but I don't remember where I saw it.

Yes, if you set MINDISTANCE <pixels> in your LABEL definition then it 
will not place another label with the same name within <pixels> 
distance of the first one placed.

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer Compilation with GDAL Problems
Message-ID: <F90wBk7L0jRGjIxiDF100009d42@hotmail.com>

Recently, I compiled MapServer (with just the default options), created my 
own test map files and ran the program.  An image was rendered however the 
EXTENT options inverted the direction of the image.  I have the associated 
.tfw file and need to have mapserv automatically rotate the tiff files for 
me.  However I read that you need GDAL libraries for that.

So I uninstalled mapserver, downloaded GDAL, installed that, and prepared to 
re-compile MapServer.  I correctly gave the gdal-config directory and ran 
the program configure.  That worked fine, but when I ran the MAKE program it 
prints out many lines (mapogr.o undefined references) and finally ends with:

make: *** [shp2img] Error 1

and exits without creating the mapserv executable.

Can someone please tell me how to correctly compile map serv without getting 
this error so that I can automatically rotate the tiff images.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Respectfully:
IML

P.D.0: I run Suse Linux 8.0 with MapServer 3.6

You'd need to use some 3rd party application (ANUDEM, Grass or whatever)
to create dynamic data. MapServer does not have that capability at the
moment. It would be possible to use MapScript, or possibly even the CGI
version to reference data created on the fly.

	Hi, all.

	As far as I know, "JOIN" object was included in "QUERY" object
in a
	"map" file. But "QUERY" object seems not to exist any more in
	MapServer 3.6. Now, Mapserver 3.6 documentation says that
"JOIN"
	is included in "CLASS" object. Is this correct or am I wrong?.

	I have the next lines in my "map" file and doesn't work at all:

	.
	.
	.
	LAYER
	NAME "mylayer"
	DATA mylayer
	STATUS DEFAULT

There doesn't seem to be a readily accessible method to zoom with

(zoompoint, zoomrectangle, zoomscale)).  I'm working with Mapserver 3.6.
Before I build my own, I was wondering if maybe I've missed something or if

You are correct in that lines 2 & 3 specify a rotation. And I am pretty 
sure you need GDAL to do this. (I will forward this message to there 
MapServer list where there are others who are much more knowledgeable than 
myself). GDAL is an excellent asset to MapServer and well worth the effort 
of getting it installed and compiled into the MapServer executable. Maybe 
you could provide a little more detail on your compile sequence and 
associated errors.

If you do not want to use GDAL, you could pre-process your imagery so that 
the rotation parameters (lines 2 & 3) are zero, and then use standard 
MapServer raster support.

Subject: [mapserver-users] tolls for shapefile creation
Message-ID: <200207090348.XAA11484@www20.ureach.com>

Dear Mapserver Users!

Thanks in advance for the help.

1. What are the best tools (if any) to quickly generate the 
shapefiles for points/symbols and annotations ? Let's say if 
labels need to be put at the center of the area, which consists 
of many shapes.

The annotations can be done by using the attributes for labels, 
but may be it is faster to create another layers with the 
shapefile.  Otherwise one has to introduce another attribute 
into dbf file for conditional labeling.

2. Also it is nice to scale up/down the labels while scaling 
the image.  It does to a certain extent, but it can be better. 
The advice on what is missing below is very much appreciated.

   class
     EXPRESSION (  [LEVEL] ge 9.0)
     color 255 0 0
     outlinecolor 72 61 139
     TEXT( [STATE], [LEVEL] )
    label
       position auto
       font arial
       minsize 4
       maxsize 30
        buffer 20
        force true
        color 100 34 100
    end
   end

Thanks again

hi chip and list,

I think what ben wants to know (and I couldn't figure it out eighter),
is how to use the processquerytemplate method, i.e. process a template
and replace some tags in it with query results, or link external info. 
Steve Lime recently answered this question for the cgi version

(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0206/msg00377.html),
but I don't know how it works with mapscript.

any ideas?
thanks,

you have to edit your Makefile in mapscript/php3/ after running the
configure script. See above for the changes you have to make.

Good luck,

The paths vor Zend, TSRM etc. are defined in the Makefile. Perhaps you
have to adapt them to the configuration in your system. At least I had
to do that.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Same MapServer Compilation Problem (with GDAL)
Message-ID: <F889zAQAH4BD1LySUhG0000b08d@hotmail.com>

I am still trying to compile MapServer with GDAL support but the MAKE 
command always exits with an 1 Error code.

I think that it cannot find the include header files.  Can someone please 
help.  I am currently opening up the Makefile and trying to see if I can 
make some modifications.  I found the section for writing in GDAL parameters 
but there is no information on how to do this.

Someone please help me with this (I need GDAL for autorotation).  Thank you 
very much for your help.

Respectfully:

Subject: [mapserver-users] addfeature - point appearing at center of map?
Message-ID: <sd2af573.098@em.agr.ca>

Hi,
I have created an application that adds points to the map "on-the-fly".  It makes use of a layer outlined as follows in the map file:

LAYER
  NAME COLLECTIONS
  TYPE POINT
  FEATURE
  END
  STATUS ON
  TEMPLATE VOID
  CLASS
    SYMBOL "circle"
    SIZE 5
    COLOR 255 0 0
  END
  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:4326"
  END
END

For some reason, in addition to the points I am adding dynamically using php/mapscript, there is a point showing at the very centre of the map (the map is 600 by 300, so the point is appearing at 300, 150) or a point is appearing at 0 lat, 0 long even though I have NOT coded this at all.  I can't figure out how to get rid of this point on my maps!

here's a bit of code:
// loop through records and display (addfeature) each point
$dummylayer=ms_newLayerObj($map); //a new layerobject

$numrows = count($long);
for ($i = 0 ; $i <= $numrows; ++$i) 
{
   $oShp=ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHP_POINT);
   $oLine=ms_newLineObj();
   $oLine->addXY($long[$i],$lat[$i]);
   $oShp->add($oLine);
   $dummylayer=$map->getLayerByName("COLLECTIONS");
   $dummylayer->addfeature($oShp);
}

Anyone have any ideas why this point is appearing in the centre?

Thanks,
D. Pagurek

I thought GDAL handled rotation, or must it be specified in the MAP file?

Isai -

Are those TIFF files GeoTIFF files as well?  That is, GDAL will read the geotransform matrix from GeoTIFF tags if they're available; I'm pretty sure it will only look for a TFW file if the GeoTIFF data is absent.  If there is some way we could look at the TIFF file and the world file, that would be helpful.

Be sure you also included --without-tiff or else you may have both "native" 
tiff support (which does not support rotation) and GDAL. The "native" 
support will probably take precedence over GDAL.

You are cycling one too many time through the $long array. Try

for ($i = 0 ; $i < $numrows; ++$i)

Subject: [mapserver-users] scaling labels
Message-ID: <200207100449.AAA30183@www21.ureach.com>

Dear Mapserver Users!

Thanks in advance for reading this message and for all possible 
hints and suggestions.

1. how can I make the class transparent (so other classes can 
set the color on the same shapes)in the same layer ?

e.g.

class
   expression( [level] lt 3.0 )
   # should be transparent, but allow other class to set the 
color. Only labels should be defined
   label

   end
end
class
   expression ( [perimeter] > 3.0 )
   color 23 23 23 
   outlinecolor 0 0 0 
end 

2. I use labeling based on the attributes (mapserver v 3.6 GIF 
version) and use CGI only.  However it uses
bitmap fonts and they do not scale at all. If I put 'type 
truetype, then no labels is shown at all.  What can be 
the possible reason.

The layer looks like:

  layer
    classitem 'STATE'
    data "statesp020"
    group "statesp020"
    labelcache on
    labelitem 'STATE'
    name "statesp020"
    postlabelcache true
    status on
    type polygon
  # red
    class
     EXPRESSION (  [LEVEL] ge 9.0 ) 
     color 255 0 0
     outlinecolor 72 61 139
     TEXT( [STATE] )
     label
       position auto
       font arial
       minsize 10
       maxsize 30
       mindistance 100
       buffer 100
       force true
       color 0 0 0 
    end
   end
    # 1 class statesp020_1
   class
     EXPRESSION ( [LEVEL] lt 2.0  )
     color 128 128 128
     outlinecolor 72 61 139
   end
  # green
   class
     EXPRESSION ( [LEVEL] ge 2.0 and [LEVEL] lt 4.0 ) 
     color 32 178 170
     outlinecolor 72 61 139
     TEXT( [STATE] )
     label
       type truetype
       position auto
       font arial
       minsize 10
       maxsize 30
       mindistance 100
       buffer 100
       force true
       color 0 0 0

   end
end

I did do that and now there is just a big black spot with nothing in it.  I 
believe that maybe the --without-tiff option disabled tiff completely.  I 
will trying reversing the order of the options and also will change some of 
the extents to make sure the image is in view.

Thank you for the help.

Isai -

You should DEFINITELY include --without-tiff.  If you're now getting a big black spot, it may well be that things are working "properly" and there's a discrepancy between the geographic extent of the source images and the requested output area.  Are the source images and the MapServer output image in the same projection?

That would depend on what the definition of the map file EXTENTS variable 
is.  I have previously tried manipulating the EXTENTS and found that certain 
variations cause the image to disappear.

If you could give me a better definition of EXTENTS or how exactly EXTENTS 
work, then that might cause the images (which I guess theorectically should 
be there) to come back into view.

Thank you.

Isai -

The EXTENTS are the bounding box of the output map image, in the native units of the output image projection.  For example, if the output projection is UTM Zone 19 North, the EXTENTS are in UTM northing and easting meters.  If the output projection is geographic, the EXTENTS are in decimal degrees.

Do I have to specify the projection type in the map file?  I am using UTM 
and here is part of the top of the map file

NAME GRID
EXTENT xxxx.xxxxx xxx.xxxx xxxx.xxxx xxxx.xxxx
STATUS ON
UNITS METERS
IMAGECOLOR 0 0 0

etc...

Is this sufficient for a map file heading?

Also:

Right now I just compiled again without the --without-tiff option (and with 
the --with-gdal option) just to make sure that the extents are right.  The 2 
images are now in almost the exact center (without rotation of course).  I 
believe the rotation has its axis in the top left corner so when the images 
rotate (in the future) I should still be able to see them without changing 
the extents again, right?

Thank you for the help.

Isai -

That's a good test.  You don't have to specify any projection; if your sources and output are the same projection, things should work OK.  It's a little safer to specify the projections in my opinion, but not necessary.

I'm not sure your assumption about the images remaining visible is correct, depending on the rotation.  You might try making the extents much larger, but centered on the same spot, to see if the images are actually showing up in a slightly unexpected place.

I just zoomed out a lot so that the 2 images are in the dead center, and 
each takes up about 50x50 pixels out of a 500x500 square box.  I think that 
should be enough so that rotation can occure without losing sight.

Then I did:

make clean
./configure --with-gdal --without-tiff
make

Then I refreshed the screen and the images disappeared.  I have no idea what 
to do, it does not seem to work.  Please help.

Thank you very much for assistance.

Why it doesn't work?
I don't understand the line TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html".
I don't find this template in application files, where is it?

Thanks.

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0207101226170.17838-100000@ugrad.unbc.ca>

Hi,

I am labeling various cities and roads I have the problem of roads and  
smaller cities being labelled and the larger cities not being labeled.  
All cities are part of the same layer and all roads are part of the same layer.
The map file is outlined as follows:

LAYER # road drawing layer

  CLASS 
    # highway drawing layer
  END

  CLASS
    # road drawing layer
  END
END # end of road drawing layer

LAYER # road label layer

  CLASS
    # highways label info
  END

  CLASS
    # road label info
  END
END # end of road label layer


LAYER # city layer

  CLASS 
    #Largest city info
    #Labeling and drawing of points
  END

  CLASS
    #Medium city info
  END

  CLASS
    #Small city info
    #Labeling and drawing of points
  END
END # end of city layer

I want the labeling to go in this order of precedence:
1) larger city
2) small city
3) highway
4) road
Any suggestions?

At some zoom levels things look correct and at others they dont.  I have 
tried changing the order of the layers and the order of the classes 
within the layers.  The FORCE command wont be useful because there are 
major cities side by side and I dont want overlap.
Thanks for reading this far and any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Seamus

Hello,

	I've been trying to compile the mapscript python module, but I
	keep finding this errors:

	First, when swigging the .i file, i get:

	swig -python -shadow -DSWIGPYTHON -module mapscript -o
	./mapscript_wrap.c ../mapscript.i

	../mapscript.i:37. Warning: class keyword used, but not in C++
	mode.
	../../map.h:424. Warning: class keyword used, but not in C++

	/usr/lib/swig1.3/constraints.i:89.  Warning.  Deprecated typemap
	feature ($source/$target).
	swig:  The use of $source and $target in a typemap declaration
	is deprecated.
	swig:  For typemaps related to argument input
	(in,ignore,default,arginit,check), replace
	swig:  $source by $input and $target by $1.   For typemaps

	swig:  Doc/Manual/Typemaps.html for complete details.
	/usr/lib/swig1.3/constraints.i:108.  Warning.  Deprecated
	typemap feature ($source/$target).

	That warning goes on for several lines.

	Later, when compiling the mapscript_wrap.c, i get:

	gcc -DNDEBUG -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro
	-march=i586 -ffast-math -fno-strength-reduce -fPIC -UTIFF_STATIC

	function)
	mapscript_wrap.c:1583: (Each undeclared identifier is reported
	only once
	mapscript_wrap.c:1583: for each function it appears in.)


	I've read the archives and found references to this error, but
	then i get only: OK, now i solved that and built the extension,
	and I have another problem, but they don't tell how did they
	solve the error :-(

	I've tried to use the Vines's setup.py script, but that doesn't
	solve the compilations problem nor the swig warnings...

	Python 2.2, Swig 1.3.

	Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi There,

 What is wrong exactly ? What kind of errors do you recieve ? You should
give more details on the error or problem.


Checking your layer here are the comments I have :

 - The template entry is necessary to do queries, the value is not
critical here.

 -  One error that I see is the way you defined the RESULT_FIELDS"  tag.
It should be define like this :
   "RESULT_FIELDS" "NOMEVIA COD_VIA LENGTH"

   The GMap demo application assumes to find the DB fields names with a
space between the names.



Best Regards,

Hi Ivan,

i think when you use it like below, it should work.

  METADATA
   "DESCRIPTION"   "Assi Stradali"
   "RESULT_FIELDS" "NOMEVIA COD_VIA LENGTH" # <--changed
  END

The file: TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html" needs to be in there if you want to
query.
The file 'ttt_query.html' should contain all your Micro$oft licenses
(case sensitive).

No,... kidding,... it does not have to exist at all. You can also use
TEMPLATE "foo"

Hi,
I have install GMAP demo and it works very well!

But I have a question, this is my layer:

LAYER
  NAME assist
  METADATA
   "DESCRIPTION"   "Assi Stradali"
   "RESULT_FIELDS" "NOMEVIA" "COD_VIA" "LENGTH"
  END
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS ON
  DATA assist
  TOLERANCE 8
  LABELITEM nomevia
  LABELMAXSCALE 20000
    CLASS
      NAME "Assi Stradali"
      TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
	COLOR 0 0 100
        LABEL
          COLOR 255 0 0
	    FONT fritqat
	    TYPE TRUETYPE
	    SIZE 8
            ANTIALIAS TRUE
	    POSITION AUTO
            ANGLE AUTO
            MINFEATURESIZE 40
            MINDISTANCE 100
	    PARTIALS FALSE
	    BUFFER 3
	  END  #LABEL
    END  # CLASS
  TOLERANCE 5
END  # LAYER

Why it doesn't work?
I don't understand the line TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html".
I don't find this template in application files, where is it?

Thanks.

Use annotation layers which will allow you some control over which 
layer gets rendered first, BUT within a layer the objects get 
rendered in order they are in the file. Sooo, you can order them by 
sorting the shapefile, Orrrr you can create 4 annotation layers as 
you list above and use a FILTERITEM or CLASSITEM to select only the 
given objects that you want to annotate in the the given layer.

I hope this is clear.

Dan,

We came across this error message ourselves yesterday.  In our case it was that
the filename specified in the DATA parameter was incorrect.  You should also
verify that the path set in the LOCATION field of your tileindex shapefile is
correct.

Vinko,

One of your problems (regarding ms_error) occurs because the
mapscript.i included with mapserver 3.6.1 is a bit out-of-date.

Edit the Python specific section to match the following:

    #ifdef SWIGPYTHON
    // For Python, errors reported via the ms_error structure are translated
    // into RuntimeError exceptions. (Chris Chamberlin <cdc at aracnet.com>)
    %{
    static void _raise_ms_exception(void) {
        char errbuf[256];
        errorObj *ms_error = msGetErrorObj();
        snprintf(errbuf, 255, "%s: %s %s\n", ms_error->routine, 
msGetErrorString(ms_error->code), ms_error->message);
        _SWIG_exception(SWIG_RuntimeError, errbuf);
    }

    #define raise_ms_exception() { _raise_ms_exception(); return NULL; } 
      %}

    %except {
      $function
          errorObj *ms_error = msGetErrorObj();
        if ( (ms_error->code != MS_NOERR) && (ms_error->code != -1) )
          raise_ms_exception();
    }
    #endif // SWIGPYTHON

The key thing is to get an errorObj returned from msGetErrorObj().

Good luck!
Sean

I'm having a hard time figuring out a couple of things about symbol
definitions.

What I want to do, is make a symbol for a fiber optic line that looks like
this:

------FO------FO------FO------FO

I can get a trutype symbol to work, with ONE letter.

1) How can I get it to work with more than one character?
2) What is the "&#" part of the character mapping doing? Is there some
reference for figuring out character mappings?

TIA!

Message-ID: <sd2c5fc0.026@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

I'm not sure what you're asking in 1. A shape belongs to the first class
it matches, period. I think you'll need to draw the shapefile in
question (perhaps once as an annotation layer) to get the effect you're
after.

On 2. you've neglected to define a SIZE for the label. Default it
probably a GD constant for bitmap fonts (1 or something like that). Also
note that you won't get any scaling unless you define a value for
SYMBOLSCALE.

Dear Mapserver Users!

Thanks in advance for reading this message and for all possible 
hints and suggestions.

1. how can I make the class transparent (so other classes can 
set the color on the same shapes)in the same layer ?

e.g.

class
   expression( [level] lt 3.0 )
   # should be transparent, but allow other class to set the 
color. Only labels should be defined
   label

   end
end
class
   expression ( [perimeter] > 3.0 )
   color 23 23 23 
   outlinecolor 0 0 0 
end 

2. I use labeling based on the attributes (mapserver v 3.6 GIF 
version) and use CGI only.  However it uses
bitmap fonts and they do not scale at all. If I put 'type 
truetype, then no labels is shown at all.  What can be 
the possible reason.

The layer looks like:

  layer
    classitem 'STATE'
    data "statesp020"
    group "statesp020"
    labelcache on
    labelitem 'STATE'
    name "statesp020"
    postlabelcache true
    status on
    type polygon
  # red
    class
     EXPRESSION (  [LEVEL] ge 9.0 ) 
     color 255 0 0
     outlinecolor 72 61 139
     TEXT( [STATE] )
     label
       position auto
       font arial
       minsize 10
       maxsize 30
       mindistance 100
       buffer 100
       force true
       color 0 0 0 
    end
   end
    # 1 class statesp020_1
   class
     EXPRESSION ( [LEVEL] lt 2.0  )
     color 128 128 128
     outlinecolor 72 61 139
   end
  # green
   class
     EXPRESSION ( [LEVEL] ge 2.0 and [LEVEL] lt 4.0 ) 
     color 32 178 170
     outlinecolor 72 61 139
     TEXT( [STATE] )
     label
       type truetype
       position auto
       font arial
       minsize 10
       maxsize 30
       mindistance 100

So what your are saying is create 4 layers with the labels I want to stand 
out the most on the bottom of the map file.  I should split up my classes 
into layers. So the new order of the map file would be:

1) road layer
2) highway layer
3) small city layer
4) larger city layer

Using FILTERITEM to filter the layers. Yes/No ?

We use a road classification value which is present in our *.dbf files.
The trick is to define different classes depending on the data.

LAYER
    NAME    cityCenter
    GROUP   defaultLayer
    TYPE    POINT
    TILEINDEX td_sm.shp
    STATUS  ON
    LABELITEM "NAME"
    CLASSITEM "DISPCLASS"
    MAXSCALE 9000

    CLASS
        EXPRESSION ( ( [DISPCLASS] = 3 ) )
        #NAME    "Big City"
        ...
    END

    CLASS
        EXPRESSION ( ( [DISPCLASS] = 6 ) )
        #NAME    "Medium City"
        ...
    END
END

For roads it is very similar, except I have a functional road class to
work with.

Thanks a lot! The warnings from swig didn't disappear (as expected), but were
irrelevant to the working of the module (as expected too), now I'm happily coding in
PyMapScript :-)

BTW, Vine's script is very useful in installing the module.

(Why isn't mapscript.i fixed in the official distribution? Should i send
the fixed file to Steve?)

My method is very similiar except you have TILEINDEX and I have DATA and I 
dont use CLASSITEM.  My EXPRESSIONs work without CLASSITEM.

Is there a reason for using TILEINDEX over DATA and using CLASSITEM?

This is an artifact of my data source.  I have data from five counties
which had to be assembled into a tile set first.  The classitem is
necesary for the expression syntax to work I think.  It defines the bit
in the *.dbf file that you split the cases on.

I do a query. This is my problem. Any idea?

Yes and you can use FILTER also. To do what you want to do you can 
NOT just use CLASS because the items in the shape file are rendered 
in the order they are found in the shapefile, NOT the order that is 
specified by the CLASS expressions.

I am hoping and thinking this is a simple question.
How would I increase the thicknes of a layer of lines..like roads?
It looks to default to a single pixel, but I would like the lines to be
around 4-5 pixels thick.

I see,

The class structure is like an if, else expression.  Take the next item in 
the dbf.  If the item belongs in the first class in the layer put it 
there, else look in the next class and so on.  Go on to the next item in 
the dbf.  Now that I have that understood I can make more efficient code.

HI,
Thanks to the MS users;
I have resolved my problem (the results of a query return) but I have an 
other.
When I do a query I have a new extent of map as I do a zoomin.
Any idea?

Regards
Ivan

1. Create a symbol in the file symbols.sym, e.g.
  SYMBOL
    NAME "circle"
    TYPE ELLIPSE
    FILLED
    POINTS 1 1 END
  END
2. Reference the symbolfile in the mapfile, e.g. 
  SYMBOLSET symbols/symbols.sym
3. Use the symbol in the layer and define thickness in pixel with the size parameter, e.g.
  LAYER
    ...
    CLASS
      SYMBOL "circle"
      SIZE 4
      ...
    END
  END

Dear List,

i am also stuck in compiling python mapscript. I use swig 1.1 and mapserver 3.6.0
(problem?)

I changed the mapscript.i file according to the mail from Sean, but to no avail. When
compiling I still get following errors:

...
mapscript_wrap.c: In function `_wrap_imageObj_free':
mapscript_wrap.c:4926: parse error before `*'
mapscript_wrap.c:4927: `ms_error' undeclared (first use in this function)
...

Hmm, Vinko, could you send your mapscript.i file? Or anybody got a clue why it isn't
working?

Cheers, Michael

 Humm, I don't know what happens in 3.6.0, but what does the line 4926
 looks like?

 In any case, i send the mapscript.i corrected for 3.6.1

 Hope it helps you.

 BTW (i know this is not the place, but taking advantage of the
 oppurtunity), has anyone installed mod_python for apache?

 starting apache with it makes the following error:

 Syntax error on line 20 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
 Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_python.so into server:
 /etc/httpd/modules/mod_python.so: undefined symbol: openpty

 That's probably because the module isn't liked against libpty, but in
 the configure of the mod_python package there's no way to specify the
 libs to link against.

 (I'm using python 2.2 and the mod_python docs say it'll work 'til
 python 2.1)

Subject: [mapserver-users] querybyattributes
Message-ID: <003801c228c4$d80baca0$0f01a8c0@internet.net>

Hi everybody

I'm working with Windows and MapScript 3.5
I manage to make a simple query on attributes using  setfilter and setfilteritem.
Now I'd like to make a query like  ( ( Field_A > 100) and (Field_B = "good") ) on a layer (shp,shx,dbf).
I can't make it work.
I moved to MapServer/MapScript 3.6, as the history.txt file say that querybyattributes had been improved,
but it doesn't make any change.
I can't understand the syntax, and, anyway, MapServer gives me an errror if setfilter and setfilteritem are not set.
(the history.txt file of version 3.6 just tells that they are no more necessary).

Can any one help me with complex queries on shape file (shp,shx,dbf) ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks, Chip.  This is a big help.  I haven't had a chance to try it
yet, but I understand the code.  I was going about queries in the
totally wrong manner.

I went to the GMAP demo page, but didn't see where to download it.  I
guess I need to look harder.

Hi,

I set up the mapserver as the WMS server. In the capabilities XML output there 
was a warning:

WARNING:Mandatory metadata 'WMS_GROUP_TITLE' was missing in this context

I did not found any discription about the metadata 'WMS_GROUP_TITLE' in the 
"Mapserver WMS Server How To".  Where should this mandatory metadata be set in 
the mapfile?  Thanks for any help!

Vinko,

The mapscript.i file is fixed in CVS.  Python MapScript isn't as actively
maintained as Perl or PHP MapScript so it can be easily messed up in some
releases.  In short, I don't think you need to send in patches unless there
is going to be a 3.6.2 release.

I have also committed Norman Vine's setup.py script to CVS though I find it
takes quite a bit of hand editing to build and install for different sets of
build options.  It would be nice for it to pick up more information about the
MapServer build from the configure output at some point, but that isn't high on
my priority list.

Best regards,

I figured this out...at least on a windows machine, all that needs to be
done in the character section is type what you want. For instance:

SYMBOL
  NAME "fiberline"
  TYPE TRUETYPE
  FONT arial
  ANTIALIAS true
  CHARACTER "------ FO "
END

I'm still not sure what the "&#...;" is for in the docs on the web page.

I'm having a hard time figuring out a couple of things about symbol
definitions.

What I want to do, is make a symbol for a fiber optic line that looks like
this:

------FO------FO------FO------FO

I can get a trutype symbol to work, with ONE letter.

1) How can I get it to work with more than one character?
2) What is the "&#" part of the character mapping doing? Is there some
reference for figuring out character mappings?

TIA!

Message-ID: <3D2D9DE1.7020706@geointeractive.biz>

Hello everyone,

I am using the Rosa Appletin conjunction with PHP Mapscript. Everything 
is working fine until I try to use the query function. For example I 
will draw a rectangle around an area, it returns the correct info, but 
the Rosa interface or buttons(Zoom In, Zoom Out,Pan,Query) are then 
centered in the map display and the image is zoomed out a bit. If I then 
zoom in again, the problem corrects. Any suggestions or help is greatly 
apprectiated.

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.33.0207110850200.6435-200000@agassiz.cs.und.edu>

greetings list...

i've been sifting through the message archives for the last couple days,
so i know that this topic has been beat to death many times... please
forgive me...

my script was working joyously before i dove into reprojecting anything;
everything (tifs, shapefiles) displayed as it should.  when i began
experiementing with reprojection, i got the shapefiles to do so with
little problem, but the rasters won't.  i'm sure of my extents, the
original projections of my test images, etc.  i can't think of anything
else that could be screwing it up, so a vector from anyone out there would
be most helpful.

i'm running MS 3.5 (compiled --without-tiff), using gdal, perl
mapscript and rosa applet, using world files for my tifs... i've attached
my script if anyone wants to look at it.  and if anyone needs more info,
just let me know and i'll get it to you right away.

thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

thanks for the hint to the setup script of Norman Vine. Find it here:
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/python/mapscript/setup.py )
You may need to change some things (paths, libs, etc. ).

It works well and python gets swigged and compiled and installed automatically. Yipiie!

But after that i encountered some problems. After invoking python, i can do:

>>>import mapscript      (works fine), then i try a test that Norman mentioned in a post:
>>>mapscript.msGetVersion()      (should give the MS_VERSION string) but i get this error:
AttributeError: 'mapscript' module has no attribute 'msGetVersion'
>>>m = mapscript.ms_newmapObj('/path/to/mapfile')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'mapscript' module has no attribute 'ms_newmapObj'

So, it seems i get mapscript compiled and all, but it is not working properly.
(I am using MS 3.6.0, Python 2.1.2, Swig 1.3.13)

Perhaps someone who has an overview of mapscript/compiling/swig/python can give some advice
where to look for the problem.

Thanks, Michael

Now i want to display the attributes of the dgn files using the layer

Michael

The mapscript API keeps changing !!
Both of the above calls no longer exist.

FYI

Here is what I get from a version of mapscript compiled
after a very recent CVS update

Cheers

Hi,

Is there a way to split a single map file into multiple map files?  This 
would help with organization and reusability of code because layers could 
be split into seperate files.  One layer file could then be used with 
multiple map files.  My map files are growing large and are becoming 
harder to manage.

Any thoughts on the subject?

Hi,

Is there a way to do network analysis using mapserver?  I am currently 
using arc/info, arcplot module to do my network analysis.  I would like to 
get away from esri if possible.  Currently I am using two boxes to do what 
I need.  Arc/info on a irix box and mapserver on a linux box.  Using just 
Mapserver and maybe a module would allow me to move to a sinlge linux box.

Seamus -

I do this by using the C preprocessor.  I create my template files using C #include statements and macros, and then run them through the C preprocessor to generate the output mapfile.

I strongly recommend you to read the python tutorial from the official
website, it's really useful.

You should type:

map = mapscript.mapObj("/path/to/mapfile")

or, if using 

from mapscript import * 

(That will work for sure on Unix platforms, dunno in Win)

map = mapObj("/path/to/mapfile")

The getVersion function doesn't exist anymore, now you just type
MS_VERSION

>>> import mapscript
>>> mapscript.MS_VERSION
'3.6.1'

use the dir() function to reveal the actual name of the functions and
constants, for instance my module says:

But CVS isn't recommended for semi-production envs, is it still that

Subject: FWD: [mapserver-users] warning in capabilities XML output
Message-ID: <3D2B4413@webmail>

Hi,

The warning disappeared when I add metadata 'WMS_GROUP_TITLE' in the layer 
metadata. The new problem is the capabilities XML output is failed to be 
parsed.
The code in my program is:
 
Document xmlDoc = XmlDocument.createXmlDocument(xmlSource)

The 'xmlSource' is the capabilties request UEL. 
It works well with the URL 
"http://wmt.digitalearth.gov/cgi-bin/wmt.cgi?REQUEST=GetCapabilities", which 
is capabilities of the NASA wms map server.

Now I replaced the URL with mine  
"http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=demo.map&REQUEST=GetCapabilities"

I got the error parse message:

SAXException Illegal character or entity reference syntax.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Illegal character or entity reference syntax.

I think there must be something wrong in the capabilities xml output (see 
attached file). I am not sure if it is my fault that cause some problems in 
the xml output. Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Ding

>===== Original Message From Hao Ding <hdi12 at it.canterbury.ac.nz> =====
Hi,

I set up the mapserver as the WMS server. In the capabilities XML output there
was a warning:

WARNING:Mandatory metadata 'WMS_GROUP_TITLE' was missing in this context

I did not found any discription about the metadata 'WMS_GROUP_TITLE' in the
"Mapserver WMS Server How To".  Where should this mandatory metadata be set in
the mapfile?  Thanks for any help!

Regards,
Ding

Hi Anwar,
Take a look at dgnlib (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dgnlib/ ) and gdal

if dgn generic (type, level, colorindex weigth, style, graphicgroup) (or

mapserver/gdal117 releases). If user defined and stored in a database you
will have to get the gdal/ogr cvs code (http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/)
and compile it with mapserver yourself. I've compiled gdal from cvs (without
mapserver) and using ogrinfo was able to retrieve entitynum & mslink values.
However on elements with multiple entitynum & mslink values (for both
feature and attribute tables) it would come up with the first pair it could
find. A full database query would not yet be possible. It took me quite a
while to accomplish since I had to learn all about cygwins etc.. but soon I
will try and compile with mapserver.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem with drawing of labelled layers in php mapscript 35
Message-ID: <200207121008656.SM00235@Private>

Hi,

I have just moved my system from a windows server to an apache 
server. Everything worked fine on the windows server. One problem 
I can't get around on the new server is the labelling. When I select 
a labelled layer the page refreshes but only returns part of the page 
- no legend, scale bar, maps etc - and usually some html code.
to look at this is action go to 
http://mapserv.host24.com/cpf/CPF.php and select the Street 
Names layer (an annotation layer) and the click Redraw Map. This 
labels are Auto Angled - is this an issue?

I think it has something to do with the way the GD library was 
compiled but I'm not sure. To look at the phpinfo for the server run 
http://www.visit27.com/cpf/phpinfo.php

Thanks in advance

Dear Sean, Vinko, Norman,

thanks for your patient help. it is working! i got a little bit confused with the php mapscript
calls, so ...

I hope i can step in and provide in the future to those who are interested also some information
with this mapscript dialect.

Thanks again, Michael

Dylan,

After adding the street names layer to your app, a 'view source' shows
that the HTML output ends up being truncated, this usually indicates a
crash (seg. fault) of the PHP server.  There were some problems with
running MapScript with PHP as an Apache module since 3.5, so I would
recommend that you at least reinstall PHP 4.0.6 as a CGI instead of as
an Apache module, or even better: upgrade to the latest MapServer 3.6
with PHP 4.2.1 installed as a CGI, and I wouldn't be surprised to see
the problem go away with this new configuration.

The WMS_GROUP_TITLE metadata is required in order to provide a
human-readable title for your layer GROUPs in the XML capabilities.  You
need to set it only on one of the layer that is part of the group and
MapServer will find and use the value.

You're correct that documentation for this metadata was missing in the
WMS Server HOWTO and this will be fixed soon.

Seamus,
Are you using postGIS by chance? I am working on a set of tools that
might not be network analysis, but we may have some overlap that we
could share.

I too am seeking independence from esri, and postgres extendability (all
functions can be written in C, or several other languages) seems to me
to be a potential for high quality, open source GIS tools. Already there
are several geo-processing routines out there acting in
postgres/postgis. What type of analysis functions are you looking for?

In GRASS we are working at directed graph library (dglib). It is at a early 
development status, some functions are already implemented (shortest path on 
digraphs, depth-spanning, minimum-spanning). There are modules from Radim 
Blazek for steiner-tree and salesman-problem that will be integrated into 
dglib. The API is still unstable but I'm hardly working on design it.
Poor documentation... A lot of work to do...
Maybe we could share some info...

Hi,

I have post GIS installed but I am not currently using it.  I have a road 
network for British Columbia and some other provinces and two sets of 
point data.  I need to be able to find the shortest path along from point 
A (postal code) to point B (hospital data) using an impedance taken from 
the dbf.  For example, the length in metres for an arc or the amount of 
time to travel an arc.  I need the total impedance and a shape file 
representing the path as a result.  Would any of these tools solve this 
problem for me?

I am no expert on network analysis, but it seems that the general
techniques that one would apply in order to solve it should be supported
by the basic functions of postGIS. This includes distance calculations
and proximity determinations. 

Now, Roberto's suite of tools would probably be the way to go, but what
is the status of integration of these with mapserver, or their
integratability with postGIS??

In my experience with postGIS/postgres, if you are willing to do some
coding :) the job can be done.

Roberto, I am interested in seeing some fo the code that you are putting
together. perhaps we could have some overlap. As I mentioned before, I
am primarily interested from a standpoint of hooking this stuff to
postgres, thereby making the backend independent of any single GIS
system, and potentially portable to other RDBMS's.

I am currently using arc/info to solve this problem.  The basic idea is 
take the start point and find its closes node on the road network.  Do the 
same for the destination point.  Now find the shortest distance between 
the two nodes on the road network given an impedance in the dbf.

I have not done any work using postgis to solve this problem.  I have just 
started to explore the possibility.  I was hoping this functionality was 
built into postgis.

I'm a new mapserver user trying to install 3.6 demo on Win32. Everything
seems to validate according to installation guide, but when selecting the
"INITIALIZE" button on the demo_init.html screen I get the following error
in the browser.

loadSymbol(): Unknown identifier. (TRUE):(109) 

Any ideas?

the attached setup.py works for me with Cygwin picking up the

Hi,

I have just downloaded the "mapserver-3.6.1-win32-php4.1.2-
libwww.zip" from http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/ and 
"php-4.2.1-Win32.zip" from http"//www.php.net". Php 421 installed 
fine but when I load the mapsctipt extension I get the following error:

Mapscript: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20010901, debug=0, thread-
safety=1
PHP compiled with module API=20020429, debug=0, thread-
safety=1
These options need to match

Does anyone know where I can get the Mapscript module compiled 
for PHP 4.2.1?

Thanks

Look on our download page, http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/, there is a
mapserver-3.6.1-win32-php4.2.1 and a mapserver-3.6.2-win32-php4.2.1.

Seamus,

Mapserver doesn't have this functionality as you probably know at 
this point. I have code that does what you describe below that could 
be adapted to any number of similar application. To be able to run 
fast (ie for a web application) I build a directed graph that is then 
used to compute the shortest path method and then I extract the 
required segments into a shape file that can be rendered by 
mapserver.

I have a live demo running on my site at
    http://iMapTools.com/demos
click the "Get A Route" link

This demo is using the US National Highway Planning Network 
shapefiles for the directed graph, but a directed graph could be 
built for other networks from shapefiles or other data sources.

command line utilities so you could look there for examples. Sorry.

Hello.

 Mapscirpt is a wrapper of MapServer C API.

However I couldn't find this  MapServer C API's document on Mapserver
web

Could you tell me Where  any document of this is available?

Yup, it does. Not much but any change will break things. There
error/version problems stem from work that was
done to make error handling thread-safe. I'll get around to a MapScript
fix for the 3.7 release. Norman, is your setup.py
script suitable for inclusion in the distribution?

The mapscript API keeps changing !!
Both of the above calls no longer exist.

FYI

Here is what I get from a version of mapscript compiled
after a very recent CVS update

Do you build the graph on each invocation or does it stay resident? Did you 
write the code for digraph support?

I build it once and reuse it. I takes like 5 minutes to read a 65 MB 
shapefile and build a digraph and the same digraph can be reused. I 
also generate other structures that I need to extract the shape info 
after the shortest path is done.

> Did you 
> write the code for digraph support?

Yes, I wrote this code myself and then modified an existing shortest 
path algorithm to use my digraph and also the code to post process 
the shortest path results to extract and generate the resultant shape 
file.

Hello cracks,

I'm new to running MapServer. Maybe a simple question:

I'm running mapserver 3.6 on a win 2k machine with apache webserver. I 
downloaded the demo-project, tested the mapserver CGI application - it 
works fine. But I don't get the demo running. Looking to the apache 
error-log, it says, that the graphic-files of my map project don't exist:

Maybe the problem is, that running the demo_init.html file, I'm prompted 
to download the file or start it from the directory. Choosing "starting

mapserv.exe is executed but the demo-project (demo.html) isn't opened

I also installed the libwww.dlls but didn't install the gd graphics

more details. Hope it helps.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Can't run MapServer Demo


Hello cracks,

I'm new to running MapServer. Maybe a simple question:

I'm running mapserver 3.6 on a win 2k machine with apache webserver. I 
downloaded the demo-project, tested the mapserver CGI application - it 
works fine. But I don't get the demo running. Looking to the apache 
error-log, it says, that the graphic-files of my map project don't exist:

[Mon Jul ...] File does not exist: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/itasca/[scalebar]
[Mon Jul ...]  File does not exist: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/itasca/[img]
[Mon Jul ...]  File does not exist: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/itasca/[ref]
[Mon Jul ...]  File does not exist: c:/inetpub/wwwroot/itasca/[legend]

Maybe the problem is, that running the demo_init.html file, I'm prompted 
to download the file or start it from the directory. Choosing "starting 
from ..." it returns a warning. When I ignore it, I think the 
mapserv.exe is executed but the demo-project (demo.html) isn't opened 
automatically.

I also installed the libwww.dlls but didn't install the gd graphics 
library. Do I have to?

Many thanks in advance!

Subject: [mapserver-users] Scalability and Mapscript running PHP as a module NOT CGI
Message-ID: <3D332E05.7619.7CB7EA@localhost>

Hi everyone,

What is the current state of Mapscript being used as when running PHP 
as an Apache module instead of a CGI (see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI for 
more info)?

Currently we are looking at a system that can support 500 simultaneous 
users without a problem. From what I 
understand, the performance would be increased substantially running 
as a module as there is no need to launch a new process when 
executing the PHP script. If it is not yet supported in this configuration, 
would the CGI version scale to 500 users on a single machine (how 
many maps per second have people managed to obtain on various 
hardware etc.), and if not, how much work would be required to make 
the necessary modifications to Mapscript to run with PHP as a module 
to get the best performance possible?


Cheers,

Mark.

Nyon,

I use two forms for the interface (also because I use different frames). 
One takes care of pan, zoom, query and one does
the layers update. In the first form there is the line from the demo reading:
 <input type="hidden" name="imgext" value="[mapext]">

When the user hits the refresh button in the second form (layers), the js routine 
(among other things) copies the 'imgext' value from the first form:
    with (parent.frBottom.document) {
      myForm.imgext.value = map_form.imgext.value
    }
where frBottom is the frame the Mapserver CGI sends the map, myForm is
the 'layers'-form and map_form is the form template mapserver uses.

View he whole thing at : http://www.costarica.geomar.de/demo_pif/

Cheers, Martin

Message-ID: <200207161025.g6GAP0B18093@cnes.fr>

Hi,

I've tried without success to use truetype font with symbol objects.

In my layer class:

	LAYER 
  	  NAME Grille
  	  DATA "grille"
  	  TYPE POINT
     	  STATUS DEFAULT
  	  CLASS
   	    NAME "Grille"
   	    SYMBOL "fontsym"
      	    COLOR 255 0 0
            SIZE 24
  	  END 
	END 

       SYMBOL
         NAME "fontsym"
         TYPE truetype
         FONT arial
         CHARACTER "#"
       END

The FONTSET is defined correctly. I try to replace symbol object with a
label object using this font and it works to. But when i use it as a
symbol nothing appear (i have a blank map with scalebar (no error)).
I tried without success to:
	change the font
	change the version of mapserver (3.4, 3.5 and 3.6)
	change the OS (under linux and under windows)

But i have the same problem each time.

Did someone experience this problem  before?

Regards

Jerome Gasperi

Yes, depending on the version of your mapserver 3.5 / 3.6 these are now
linked under
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc35
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36

and named mapfile-reference.html and template-reference.html

Subject: [mapserver-users] python-mapscript
Message-ID: <3D340BF2.ABB557C@webgis.de>

Hi,

once again a python-mapscript question. What is the correct way to get a
handle to an associated DBFInfoObj of a shapefileObj? The
PerlMapscriptExamples (
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples35ex5
) show this using a method of the shapefileObj named "hDBF", which seems
to be not existing in the last releases (it is in 3.5, but not in 3.6).

But i can open a dbf file with "msDBFOpen", which returns exactly a
handle to a DBFInfoObj, but you have to provide the name of the dbf
instead of it being a method(?) of the shapefileObj. Are these
"msDBFxxxx" new methods, that are replacing old ones?

Thanks, Michael

Message-ID: <18E0CC75605BD411907800508B8BB8D049E5EA@odin.enator.dk>

Hi group,
after experimenting with the Oracle Spatial support for mapserver, I've
noticed poor performance on Oracle 9i when querying large data sets. The
reason seems to be, that the query is sent to Oracle like this:

SELECT rownum, shape FROM my_table my_table_alias
WHERE sdo_filter(shape,
  mdsys.sdo_geometry(
    2003,
    my_table_alias.shape.sdo_srid,
    null,
    mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1,1003,3),
    mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array(31,19,52,61)
 ),'querytype=window') = 'TRUE';

By using the "my_table_alias.shape.sdo_srid", Oracle cannot optimize the
query, since each row must go through the sdo_filter function separately.

I know all my data to be of the same SRID, so I can replace
"my_table_alias.shape.sdo_srid" whith "8307" in the above query. The
response time drops from 60 seconds to 3 seconds! Unfortunately there is no
way I can tell mapserver this in the map-file...

Has anyone else experienced the same problem or know of a solution?
I use MapServer 3.5 on Windows.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Use of EPSG in Tutorial
Message-ID: <20020716141212.GA20018@intevation.de>

Hallo!

I wanted to install the Mapserver tutorial but I had some problems with the
reprojection section (section 4). The problem occurs in s4ex2.map. There 
an EPSG code (namely 42103) is used, which isn't defined in the current
version of PROJ.4.  I finally added the definition to /usr/share/proj/epsg .
This is the file where those EPSG numbers are defined that are used by 
PROJ.4. The tutorial then worked but in my opinion it should be easier to be 
successful.

Now I'm wondering if I oversaw something. Then I would like to learn how it
should be done. If I did it the right way, I think that either the tutorial should 
use another projection or the EPSG code should be defined in PROJ.4. 

BTW: Many thanks to those who wrote the tutorial. I think it is a very good
thing and when I have solved this and a few other little problems we plan to add it
to the FreeGIS CD.

Greetings,
Silke

Message-ID: <3DFF131E4E6D2D4198CDD758F35A5353010ABBF8@postoffice.GASAI.Com>

Kind of a generic server side processing question.

I'm running a querybypoint operation w/ PHP MapScript. I can collect the
results in an array, highlight the selected records, etc. etc., all in the
same window. BUT, what I want to do is display the selected records in a
table in a NEW window. So... I want the server-side stuff to do something
like this.

          Receive Input
                |
                V
         Query Shapefile
                |
                V
      Return Results to Array
                |
                V
     Refresh Map in Existing Window
       (showing selected records)
                |
                V
     Display the Attributes of
     the Selected Records in a 
           New Window

It's this last step that I'm having a hard time with...I would think it
should be simple. Thanks for any suggestions!

Cheers!

Hi.

I was wondering whether future releases would include:

1.  The revival of the JOIN object.

2. The ability to query a date field.

Thanks,

This PHP CGI issue is still present in 3.6 and is being worked on for
3.7 (as a lower priority task), we hope to have PHP MapScript working
with the PHP Apache module for 3.7, but there is no guarantee yet that
all thread-safety issues will be resolved by then.  Of course if someone
is interested in funding this work then it can become a higher priority.

500 users?  How many map draws per user?  What kind of data are you
mapping?  

I think a better measure is number of maps per day.  To give you an
idea, a PIII 1GHz, IDE HD, 512MB RAM running Linux could easily serve
30,000 hits per day on our GMap PHP MapScript application (that's 1
hit/second at peak times, 20 hits/minute average).

Of course it all depends on how much load drawing a single map puts on
your server, some apps will suck several seconds of CPU per map draw,
others will draw a map in a fraction of a second.  So you need to
benchmark how much time a single hit takes with your specific
application, and do the maths yourself.  

Now, this being said, the PHP/CGI overhead is relatively small if your
maps take 3 seconds to draw anyway... so you should look at how you can
tune your map data with tile indexes and shptree before worrying too
much about the PHP CGI issue.

I hope that helps,

Daniel

Chip,

I do not believe there is a way for the server to send a response 
back to the client that will generate a new window. This can only be 
done via client side methods like javascript or target="somewindow" 
on an existing page.

this site does what you want:

http://atlas.gc.ca/site/english/maps/environment/land/landcover?map=%2
Fhome%2Fmapdata%2Faoc_v3%2Fenglish%2F21028.map&imgext=557254.701810+-
680077.824843+2140864.014310+725930.443264&mode=browse&scale=5244128.1
5837856&imgxy=&mapext=&img.x=247&img.y=203

It does the following trickery on the form submit to pop up a new 
window for results but does not deal with updating the image:

    <form name="actionform" method="get" 
action="http://atlas.gc.ca/site/english/maps/environment/land/landcove
r#map" onSubmit="if (document.actionform.mode.value == 'nquery') { 
document.actionform.action='/cgi-bin/mapserv'; 
window.open('','query','height=360,width=500,location=no,menubar=no,re
sizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,personal=no'); 
document.actionform.target='query'; }">

HTH,
  -Steve

I echo request #2, especially since WMS 1.1 supports time querying via

I don't believe it is possible to create two different transmissions within the
same call.  (I could be wrong.)

What about displaying the map and including a link, called View Records, that
would pass the same query, but display the results instead of the map?

You could use <a href="..." target="new"> or something like it anyway.

Hi, I have gotten the demo up and running, but I can't
generate my own map.  I think the problem is somewhere
in my mapfile.  The maps are not being generated in
the temporary directory for one thing. My units are in
decimal degrees and I have written in the extents. I
got the extents from ArcMap. 
Also, my original map was an .mxd written in ArcMap.
Was it really necessary for me to change it to a .gif?
Because I first had to convert it to a bitmap image
and then to a gif with photoshop.  Seems like a lot of
extra work, and I'm not sure if the extents of the
image still qualify, having gone through different
conversions.
I have attached my mapfile. If someone could quickly
take a look at it, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, B.

Hi,

I have just updated to 3.6.1 from 3.5 but can't get my dynamic 
expressions to work. The expression is:

$Query = "('[DAY]' =~ /$weekday/ AND '[OFFENCE]' =~ /Burglary 
Residential/ AND '[MONTH]' =~ /$month/ AND '[TIMECODE]' =~ 
/$time/)";
$class = $cLayer->getClass(0);
$class->setexpression($Query);

This worked fine in 3.5 but doesn't draw in 3.6.1 even though the 
legend picks it up.

Any ideas on how to fix it or a better way of running multiple 
attribute expressions?

Does it work in 3.6 if you set the same expression directly in the
mapfile instead of doing it via the setExpression() method?

Using Javascript, you can create a new window and perform document.write to
that new window.

Paste this into the body of any HTML page, and I think you'll have a
starting point:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--									
url=""
popupWin = window.open(url,'new_page','width=300,height=200')
myString =  "<html>"
myString += "<head>"
myString += "<title>My New Window</title>"
myString += "</head>"
myString += "<body>"
myString += "This is my example.<BR>"
myString += "How do you like it?<BR>"
myString += "</body>"
myString += "<html>"

popupWin.document.write(myString)
//-->
</script>


Now all you have to do is append your query results into myString.

Hope it helps.

Using Javascript, you can create a new window and perform document.write to
that new window.

Paste this into the body of any HTML page, and I think you'll have a
starting point:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--									
url=""
popupWin = window.open(url,'new_page','width=300,height=200')
myString =  "<html>"
myString += "<head>"
myString += "<title>My New Window</title>"
myString += "</head>"
myString += "<body>"
myString += "This is my example.<BR>"
myString += "How do you like it?<BR>"
myString += "</body>"
myString += "<html>"

popupWin.document.write(myString)
//-->
</script>


Now all you have to do is append your query results into myString.

Hope it helps.

afaik, you can't tell the server to "push" two windows. However, you can
readily tell the client to spawn an additional window that "pulls" the
correct script from the server.

attach a window spawning function to any client-side object that fires
either by user interaction or by onload.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Still have autorotation problems
Message-ID: <EEB898AF60C3F44B9D0451FB3F9B5570036994EC@cp-its-exs04.mail.saic.com>


Hello, it is me again (the person with the tiff automatic rotation
problems).

Please excuse the delay in response however I used to use hotmail but then
the IT department shutdown access because of a virus problem.  So now please
respond to my other email address: isai.michel at saic.com

Anyways, here is the current problem I have.

I have still not had any success with the autorotation.

Some people suggested that I MUST use the PROJ libraries.  So I downloaded
those, then compiled those, and then recompiled the mapserver.  I did:

$ make clean
$ ./configure --with-gdal --with-proj
$ make

The template file still shows the images in the middle of a box with
absolutely no rotation.  As previously requested:

I HAVE ATTACHED THE FOLLOWING FILES SO THAT SOMEONE MAY EDIT THEM AND HELP
ME:

start001.html
grid001.map
template001.html
LaserGrid-400_0000.tfw
LaserGrid-400_0001.tfw

I know that I do not have a projection definition but I do not know how to
write one.  Can someone please edit the files so that they may work properly
(I did not include the tiff images because it is rather big however the
pixel dimensions are 640x480) as was previously offered.  I really need to
get this to work so that I can automate the process.

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Respectfully:
IML

Anyone knows of a translator that output files with extension .gmf, that I understand is the vector mapfile extension for fugawi software.

Alguno de uds sabe de un conversor de mapas que produzca archivos de extension .gmf que entiendo es la version vectorial del software fugami.

this is a continuation what happening since i posted a similiar question few
weeks back.

1. Process the landsat image in Erdas
2. Export it as Geotiff (24-bit)
3. downgrade it to geotiff-8bit in Macromedia Fireworks. (i found out from
the list that MS doesn't do a good job of the 24 to 8 bit tiff conversion)
4. now displays as a geotiff in MS

the quality still looks poor. i thought maybe i can
1. display it as a Erdas lan format. however, i think it's only for 1 band.
2. export it as ErMapper ECW format. would that yield better quality?

Thanks

Simon,

the @INC array holds the places where your perl installation 
stores modules/packages. Type perl -V and and the content 
of @INC will be printed out (among other things).

Usually the 'perl Makefile.pl - make - make install ' takes care of this
aspect with installin new packages. Did the installation print out any 
error messages? 

If for any reason the installtion process does not place the package 
where perl looks, you can always add the actual place of the package
to @INC (as one of the first lines in your script).

Cheers, martin

Subject: [mapserver-users] Getting mapserver running on Mac OS X
Message-ID: <9F979AF2-995F-11D6-9518-0030653DEAA0@arc.to>

Hi folks. Is anyone running mapserver on Mac OS X? I scanned the list 
archives but didn't see any real success stories about Mac OS X.

I've got PostGIS running on OS X and now I want to get Mapserver running.

After running into some trouble compiling GD and friends (libJPEG, 
libPNG), I paid a visit to to my old friend FINK. 
(fink.sourceforge.net). Now I have fresh installs of FreeType, Ping, 
JPEG, TIFF and GD. I was expecting the mapserver compile to go off 
without a problem, however, the configure script seems to be expecting 
the headers and libraries to have certain names in certain locations. I 
don't know much about FSF configure and wanted to ask before I start 
ripping this configure script apart. My system currently looks like this:

localhost:gis/Mapserver/mapserver-3.6.0] alex% ls /sw/lib

You can see the headers are there and the libraries are there. And that 
OS X uses ".dylib" as it's usual extension for shared libraries, not 
".so". (although some apps create .so files, don't know what the 
difference between .dylib and .so is)

% ./configure --with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-
jpeg=/sw/include --with-png=/sw/include --with-gd=/sw/include 
--with-freetype=/sw/include
...
checking whether we should include JPEG support...
Could not find jpeglib.h or libjpeg.a/libjpeg.so in /sw/include.
checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... no
         libjpeg not found. JPEG support not included, possibly needed 
for GD.
checking which version of GD to use...
configure: error: Could not find gd.h or libgd.a/libgd.so in 
/sw/include. Make sure gd is compiled before calling configure.

It seems like configure is expecting the library and header files to be 
in the same directory, not in  an include/ directory AND a lib/ 
directory? So, somehow I just need to convince the configure script 
everything is really OK. Does anyone have suggestions on this? Or, can 
anyone send me a Makefile after your configure is done with it. Then I 
can edit the Makefile and put in my own paths in?

Thanks & I look forward to trying mapserver on OS X.

Subject: [mapserver-users] getting rid of GD and dependencies
Message-ID: <C1FC9502-995F-11D6-9518-0030653DEAA0@arc.to>

I have this crazy idea to take the Mapserver code base and rip out all 
the GD/libJPEG/libPNG/etc. code and rewrite the graphics routines to use 
Cocoa's AppKit rendering on Mac OS X. Cocoa is Apple's Objective-C 
framework, formerly called OpenStep. The advantages of this that I can 
see:

1) It would remove most or all of the difficult compile and dependency 
problems that mapserver has on OS X. It might be necessary to wrap 
mapserver in an Objective-C application, or a loadable bundle, but that 
won't present a problem.

2) I suspect it would look a whole lot better. Cocoa has a 
Postscript-like imaging model and uses PDF, antialiasing and vector 
graphics. No jaggies! Just nice smooth images. Appkit also has a lot of 
neat features for compositing images with both raster and vector 
content. And Unicode support. It's just a really neat graphics 
environment through and through.

3) Whatever work I did could theoretically, eventually be ported to 
GNUStep, and thus run on any other Unix platform. 
(http://www.gnustep.org). Although I hear that currently the GnuStep 
Appkit stuff still needs a lot of refinement.

So mainly I just want to bounce this idea off you all...

-- Would anyone take offense if I did this to the mapserver source code?

-- Is there anyone on the list who knows Objective-C and Appkit 
programming?

-- Good idea? Crazy idea?

-- The license to mapserver looks very um, flexible. Are there any 
commercial products based on it? I don't know if this project I am 
describing would be open-source or not, I haven't talked with my 
employer about legal shtuff yet. I would push it to be open-source 
though.

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20020717111731.03878c58@uranos>

Hello,
I m trying to get mapscript to work on a Solaris 8 System, using Mapserver 
3.6.1, PHP 4.1.1 (since I didn't succeed in building a newer version) and 
Apache 1.3.26. After fixing the mapscript Makefile (doubled entry 'gcc' in 
CC Flag) everything compiled fine and the phpinfo_mapscript.php (renamed 
from phtml) works fine. In the beginning I compiled PHP as DSO with the 
resulting error and the advice to build PHP as CGI. Having done that, I 
tried to access test_draw_map.php and got the following error:

PHP/MapScript module test

Warning: MapServer Error in msLoadMap(): Undefined symbol 
"symbols/ctyhwy.gif" in class 0 of layer ctyrdln3_anno. in 
/data/www1/itasca/test_draw_map.php on line 34

Fatal error: Failed to open map file demo.map in 
/data/www1/itasca/test_draw_map.php on line 34

This is the same error which I encountered when I used a version of gd 
which is not "GIF-enhanced", but I already compiled PHP and Mapserver with 
a GIF-gd version and with the regular Mapserver-Demo, everything works fine.

Any suggestions?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Update MS35 to MS 36, Problem with PHP4.2.1?
Message-ID: <NGBBLHAKIMGFNHJNCJIMCEFFCCAA.robert-fritz@web.de>

Hello,

I used MS 3.5 und php4.06 and php_mapscript_35.dll without any problems. I
changed to MS3.61, php_mapscript_36.dll and php4.2.1.

I thought that I do not have to change my php/mapscript scripts (except
rename php_mapscript_35.dll etc.). But my scripts do not work correct
anymore.
My Question : are changes were made (mapserver, mapscript, php) which make
it necessary to change my scripts or do i use a wrong mapscript.dll or
something like that?


Thank you,
Robert

Hello,

I have a extensive Shapefile with many entries in the dbf file. If I use

Is there a way to speed up the search (using mapscript)?

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP, HOW??: Returning Results to Multiple Windows
Message-ID: <DIEALLGCLLCNIHBDCMAECELGCCAA.jhart@frw.uva.nl>

One way of doing this is creating a submit-form in each window, each calling
a different PHP script. If the first window has a form called Form1 (for map
results) and the second window Form2 (for query output), you can code both
forms as follows:

<form name=form1 action=<your PHP=mapserver-script> method=POST>
<input type=hidden name=extent value=...>
<...>
</form>

<form name=form2 action =<your PHP-query-result script> method=POST>
<input type=hidden name=myvariable1 value=...>
<...>
</form>

If both windows are in a frameset like:
<frameset>
	<frame name=window1 src=window1.html>
	<frame name=window2 src=window2.html>
</frameset>

you can send both forms to the server with this button:

<button onclick="window1.form1.submit();window2.form2.submit()">

The form variables are available to the PHP-scripts in the predefined $_POST
array (e.g. $_POST["extent"], $_POST["myvariable1"]). They can be used to
generate response pages which will be sent back to the calling windows.

Hope this helps.

PS In older versions of PHP the $_POST array is known as $HTTP_POST_VARS. It
does not have global scope like $_POST. The traditional way of reading FORM
variables into PHP (just using global variables with the same name, like
$extent, $myvariable1) is strongly discouraged for security reasons and will
be dropped in the future.

Kind of a generic server side processing question.

I'm running a querybypoint operation w/ PHP MapScript. I can collect the
results in an array, highlight the selected records, etc. etc., all in the
same window. BUT, what I want to do is display the selected records in a
table in a NEW window. So... I want the server-side stuff to do something
like this.

          Receive Input
                |
                V
         Query Shapefile
                |
                V
      Return Results to Array
                |
                V
     Refresh Map in Existing Window
       (showing selected records)
                |
                V
     Display the Attributes of
     the Selected Records in a
           New Window

It's this last step that I'm having a hard time with...I would think it
should be simple. Thanks for any suggestions!

It is not very difficult to replace all GD routines with something from
other graphic libraries; Mapserver only uses about 30 basic GD calls and
they can very easily be translated into some other package, which can be
linked into the MapServer executable. I tried this out with the Ming library
to get Flash output. However, just replacing the base GD-calls will not give
you better looking output. Lots of rasterizing is done within MapServer
itself (e.g. filling polygons), so the more advanced functions of your
graphics package won't be used at al. To use those, you  have to rewrite
MapServer vector functions on a much higher level, and this is really much
more complex than just rewriting the base GD-calls. Moreover, GD-bitmaps are
used exensively within MapServer as internal buffers, and this will
certainly cause problems when ported to other systems.

Probably a better way would be to wait for the extended vector output
facilities of MapServer 3.7. Perhaps you could do something with formats
like Flash, GML or SVG.

Subject: [mapserver-users] getting rid of GD and dependencies


I have this crazy idea to take the Mapserver code base and rip out all
the GD/libJPEG/libPNG/etc. code and rewrite the graphics routines to use
Cocoa's AppKit rendering on Mac OS X. Cocoa is Apple's Objective-C
framework, formerly called OpenStep. The advantages of this that I can
see:

1) It would remove most or all of the difficult compile and dependency
problems that mapserver has on OS X. It might be necessary to wrap
mapserver in an Objective-C application, or a loadable bundle, but that
won't present a problem.

2) I suspect it would look a whole lot better. Cocoa has a
Postscript-like imaging model and uses PDF, antialiasing and vector
graphics. No jaggies! Just nice smooth images. Appkit also has a lot of
neat features for compositing images with both raster and vector
content. And Unicode support. It's just a really neat graphics
environment through and through.

3) Whatever work I did could theoretically, eventually be ported to
GNUStep, and thus run on any other Unix platform.
(http://www.gnustep.org). Although I hear that currently the GnuStep
Appkit stuff still needs a lot of refinement.

So mainly I just want to bounce this idea off you all...

-- Would anyone take offense if I did this to the mapserver source code?

-- Is there anyone on the list who knows Objective-C and Appkit
programming?

-- Good idea? Crazy idea?

-- The license to mapserver looks very um, flexible. Are there any
commercial products based on it? I don't know if this project I am
describing would be open-source or not, I haven't talked with my
employer about legal shtuff yet. I would push it to be open-source
though.

Hi Richard,

Simply setting the color value to -1 should do, you do not need to call
addColor() for -1 -1 -1
e.g.

   $class->set("color", -1);

I am... have been running it on my iBook with 10.1.x for a while now.

I made a basic compile with Perl Mapscript, and the very basic GD, jpeg, 
png, etc. Works quite well. I can also use Perl::DBI with MySQL to bring 
information from non-spatial database.

Have not compiled Mapserver with PostGres.

Everything works mostly well, except I mucked around with my stock Perl 
installs, fooled around with mod_perl, installed new Apache, etc. As a 
result, I have experienced occasional problems with Perl Mapscript... 
these are well documented in the archives.

I know folks swear by fink, but I had some problem with fink at one 
time, so I kinda let it go. There are very nice and clear instructions 
by Scott Anguish on stepwise.com on how to install GD, and the other 
graphics libs. No problem at all.

Once all that is done, Mapserver compiles without any problem except 
one... you might get the double 'cc' in the configure script that might 
have to be edited. That also is well documented in the archives.

If you want, I can separately mail you a working Mapserver binary that 
works on other machines quite well (I tried it on my daughter's iMac and 
it worked right off the bat).

a crazy, and very good idea. Dunno how do-able it is, but you sound like 
you know your way around Cocoa so I am assuming you know what you are 
talking about ;-).

You might also want to consider Camelbones which essentially gives Cocoa 
capabilities to Perl. That way you would be able to exploit Perl 
Mapscript with Cocoa.

Nyon -

Are you displaying the final GeoTIFF image in its "native" resolution?  That is, are you using a scale in which one pixel in the output image corresponds to one pixel in the input image?  If not, that will degrade image quality.  MapServer uses very simple linear sampling to zoom in or out on a source image, because it's fast.  Other methods give better images but are quite a lot slower.

Can you view the GeoTIFF image in an image viewer or graphics application first?  That way you can determine whether the image quality is good going INTO MapServer or whether the degradation of the image is happening before that step.

this is a continuation what happening since i posted a similiar question few
weeks back.

1. Process the landsat image in Erdas
2. Export it as Geotiff (24-bit)
3. downgrade it to geotiff-8bit in Macromedia Fireworks. (i found out from
the list that MS doesn't do a good job of the 24 to 8 bit tiff conversion)
4. now displays as a geotiff in MS

the quality still looks poor. i thought maybe i can
1. display it as a Erdas lan format. however, i think it's only for 1 band.
2. export it as ErMapper ECW format. would that yield better quality?

Thanks

I have mapserver running on OS X, but I built and installed the 
dependencies myself. After that, mapserver was configured and built 
without problems. One thing to check is that your fink lib and include 
directories are on your path. I'm hoping to create a simple set of 
instructions for building on OS X so please e-mail me directly with any 
problems or solutions you come across.

I worked with navtech data while sub-contracting for a client in

I have got images with an extent of 28 km. The pixel size of the images is
11200 x 11200.

I know with mapserver I can display images with an extent of 1 km and a
pixel size of 1000 x 1000.

But how can I display images where the extent and the pixel size do not
match? I always get an empty screen when I try it.

And how do I get a correct scale bar if the extent and the pixel size do not
match? Allowed UNITS are either kilometers or meters but not 28 km.

Thanks Nicole

Going to ECW will not help and will actually make it worse. ECW provides a 
24bit color image to GDAL (even for garyscale!) which is then down sampled 
by GDAL. I'm not sure what you mean by poor image quality. Are you 
referring to color quality? And are you using a tile index or a single 
image. If you are using a tile index (using multiple images) make sure they 
all use the same 8bit color palette, and of course make sure the palette is 
well chosen in the first place. I use an 8bit color palette of just 200 
colors, which leaves 50+ "spare" colors for other map layers. I created the 
palette in Photoshop by sampling about 5% of my images and then applied the 
palette to all of the images.

Hi Frank! A great suggestion, but didn't work. Configure still says it 
cannot find JPeg and GD. I am surprised that it did not. The configure 
script really seems to want to have a different directory layout than I 
have with this fink install.  It wants to have an "install directory" 
for these supporting components, when all I have is lib/ and include/ 
Here is a strange workaround I just thought of.

% sudo cp -R /sw/lib/* /sw/include/* /sw/pile
% ./configure --with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-
jpeg=/sw/pile --with-png=/sw/pile --with-freetype=/sw/pile --with-
gd=/sw/pile

My compile works now!

It would probably just be rendering for a web client to consume via 
mapserver, but I've also thought about a standalone Cocoa application 
with a GUI for previewing/rendering maybe even manipulating OpenGIS 
content.

OK, thanks for the tips. I'll check out the Flash work that's been done

Hello,
I'm just new of GIS world and mapserver, so I'm sorry
if i ask about stupid things.

I'm working with GRASS GIS version 5 with vectors and
I'm interested to know if MapServer can read GRASS's
native vectors coor file. With GRASS I can use also
postgreSQL with postgis to handle vectors primitive
geometry but I can't use it to handle attributes.
But I need to handle attributes.
GRASS native vector files handle attributes, this is
the reason why I want to use mapserver with native
GRASS vectors support.

If anyone of you know the solution, alternatives or
other system to solve this problem please answer to
this mail.

I hope that my problem is inerent the ones discussed
in this mailing list.

Bye.

Great! I'm glad. I just got it to compile.

OK, thanks. I don't like to depend on Fink either. I get carried away 
and start installing XEmacs and all these heavyweight packages ;-)

Jan, thank you. All very good points. I didn't realize how much of the 
rasterizing Mapserver itself was going. It makes sense though. I look 
forward to learning about the new vector output features 3.7 :-)

Message-ID: <sd356ac8.097@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

I agree with Jan about waiting until 3.7, but for different reasons.
Version 3.7 is aimed at isolating GD dependancies so that different
output drivers could be employed. For example, colors are now stored
interally as rgba instead of using color indicies. The GD driver then is
responsible for allocation of colors. 3.7 will support the traditional
GD output, GDAL output (e.g GeoTIFF) although that just converts from
8/24-bit GD image structures to whatever, Flash and PDF. There's no
reason another raster driver, one with it's own rendering capabilities
couldn't be added. There are some MapServer specific drawing routines,
but in reality those are simply extensions to GD wouldn't need to be
re-written IF the target driver had a similar option. For example, GD
does not support multi part shape rendering so I wrote versions that
did, and at the heart they use the GD API.

By not ripping out GD, but rather defining another output driver
there's a much better chance for integration with the main MapServer
core. I'd be happy to chat more about this topic.

It is not very difficult to replace all GD routines with something
from
other graphic libraries; Mapserver only uses about 30 basic GD calls
and
they can very easily be translated into some other package, which can
be
linked into the MapServer executable. I tried this out with the Ming
library
to get Flash output. However, just replacing the base GD-calls will not
give
you better looking output. Lots of rasterizing is done within
MapServer
itself (e.g. filling polygons), so the more advanced functions of your
graphics package won't be used at al. To use those, you  have to
rewrite
MapServer vector functions on a much higher level, and this is really
much
more complex than just rewriting the base GD-calls. Moreover,
GD-bitmaps are
used exensively within MapServer as internal buffers, and this will
certainly cause problems when ported to other systems.

Probably a better way would be to wait for the extended vector output
facilities of MapServer 3.7. Perhaps you could do something with
formats
like Flash, GML or SVG.

Subject: [mapserver-users] getting rid of GD and dependencies


I have this crazy idea to take the Mapserver code base and rip out all
the GD/libJPEG/libPNG/etc. code and rewrite the graphics routines to
use
Cocoa's AppKit rendering on Mac OS X. Cocoa is Apple's Objective-C
framework, formerly called OpenStep. The advantages of this that I can
see:

1) It would remove most or all of the difficult compile and dependency
problems that mapserver has on OS X. It might be necessary to wrap
mapserver in an Objective-C application, or a loadable bundle, but
that
won't present a problem.

2) I suspect it would look a whole lot better. Cocoa has a
Postscript-like imaging model and uses PDF, antialiasing and vector
graphics. No jaggies! Just nice smooth images. Appkit also has a lot
of
neat features for compositing images with both raster and vector
content. And Unicode support. It's just a really neat graphics
environment through and through.

3) Whatever work I did could theoretically, eventually be ported to
GNUStep, and thus run on any other Unix platform.
(http://www.gnustep.org). Although I hear that currently the GnuStep
Appkit stuff still needs a lot of refinement.

So mainly I just want to bounce this idea off you all...

-- Would anyone take offense if I did this to the mapserver source
code?

-- Is there anyone on the list who knows Objective-C and Appkit
programming?

-- Good idea? Crazy idea?

-- The license to mapserver looks very um, flexible. Are there any
commercial products based on it? I don't know if this project I am
describing would be open-source or not, I haven't talked with my
employer about legal shtuff yet. I would push it to be open-source
though.

(A desperate cry for help rises from the deep, black hole of another 
mapserver installation problem.)

Okay, I'm trying to compile Mapserver 3.6.1 under RedHat 7.3.  Before 
anyone asks I've also tried this with the nightly build.  I'm using the 
following configuration:

./configure --with-gd=/usr/local/lib --with-tiff=/usr/include

--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin --with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin
--with-wmsclient --with-php=/usr/include/php/main

Everything seems to configure fine, however.....  during make I get the

Hi list,
did anybody ever think about changing mapserver from a cgi to a fastcgi, or to an Apache module? If not what where the reasons?
This particularly for using mapserver on Oracle Spatial so you can keep the connection open.

Yes there were changes between 3.5 and 3.6.  They are (hopefully all)
documented in the HISTORY.TXT that comes in the source distribution, and
a copy is available online at:

Looking at the configure file, it seems the Makefile will be looking in 
lib and include subdirectories of your --with-option[=DIR] directory so 
if you have something in /sw/lib and /sw/include, you would configure 
--with-option=/sw for it to find the files. I could be wrong.

Hello,

I'm not sure how exactly the link between mapserver and grass is
done. But on the grass homepage you can find an example where
mapserver is reading grass data. On this site you find more
informatione and an example to download:

I've never installed it on linux, but I have messed about with PgSQL a 
fair amount. I also am not certain sure this is going to help. But your 
plea was desperate, so...

I am guessing that your libpq (the PostgreSQL C client library) is 
missing or corrupted. I would try following:  make sure that 
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config exists, and run it to find out where it 
thinks it's libraries should live:

# /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --libdir
(output = /usr/local/pgsql/lib, or maybe somewhere else on linux?)

See what's in /usr/local/pgsql/lib (you should have libpq in there)

On Linux, you can run "ldconfig -v" to see your current libraries 
configuration. If libpq is not in that listing (ldconfig -v | grep pq) 
then you need to edit ldconfig.conf (sp?) and rerun ldconfig -v to make 
sure it's picking it up.

I have got images with an extent of 28 km. The pixel size of the images is
11200 x 11200.

I know with mapserver I can display images with an extent of 1 km and a
pixel size of 1000 x 1000.

But how can I display images where the extent and the pixel size do not
match? I always get an empty screen when I try it.

And how do I get a correct scale bar if the extent and the pixel size do not
match? Allowed UNITS are either kilometers or meters but not 28 km.

Hi all,

I'd like to build an application which allow the user to query an external database, for example querying the attribute table in MySQl or Access
database, and gets a list of ID. Then I need to query the shapefile to highlight all the returned ID.

How can I do this?
How can I link the returned ID from the external database with the shapefile ID?
How can I query the shapefile and highlight the results in PHP/MapScript ?
Can anyone send me an example?


Thanks very much

When you click on PAN, instead of clicking a point on the map, use a

Hi,

i am not sure, but i think the only way of connecting an external
database to specific shapes in a shapefile is only possible via the
shp-id. If your query to the db results in a list of shp-ids then you
could loop through the shapes in your shapefile and reclassify the
matching shapes. It is not really a query anymore (in mapserver terms).
Something like this:

$map = ms_newMapObj('mapfile');
$link = mysql_connect( $host, $user, $pwd );  // connect to the db
mysql_select_db("db_name");                   //
$qstring = "select blabla from blablabla";    // and query it,
$qresult = mysql_query($qstring);             // the result should give
you a list of shp-ids
$shplayer = $map->GetLayerByName("layer");    // get the layer
$shplayer->open($map->shapepath);             // open the layer,
necessary for getshape()
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($qresult, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
  $oShape = $shplayer->getShape(-1, (int) $line["field_with_shpid"]);
// get the shape with shapeindex from db
  $oShape->set("classindex", 1);          // assign this shape a new
classindex (that must exist in the mapfile)
  $oShape->draw($map, $shplayer, $image, "d"); // draw this shape on the
map
  $oShape->free();
}
mysql_free_result($qresult);
$shplayer->close();

Well, this just a sketch, i used similiar code to reclassify a layer
based on values from an external db.
Hope it helps.

Subject: [mapserver-users] DGN -- Labels
Message-ID: <3D36C486.3030203@schnegg.net>

Hello,

I am trying to label  DGN files with styleitem "Auto".  Some of the text 
strings appear, but they are not the right size or angle.  Other text 
strings do not appear at all.   Searching through the archives I found 
that someone posted a similar question in april, but I could not find an 
answer to the question.  

If Styleitem "auto" does not work, how do I have to define the 
Labelitem, Labelangle, Labelcolor and Labelsize in my Map File, so that 
the text appears?

Another problem I am facing with the DGN files is that black colored 
element in the DGN files appear white in my Mapserver application.

Gerhard...

I believe that you now have to specify IMGAGETYPE PNG (or whatever flavor
you want) when building your MapObject.

Did you rm config.cache? If not, do it

Italy in September and I am presenting a paper titled "Using MapServer to

paper at:

And if anybody is bored enough or interested enough to read it, I would 
welcome any feedback or comments.

Is anyone else going?

I'm writing a PHP sniffer script for determining PNG or JPEG image type 
support, which then redirects to map server using map_imagetype=in the 
query string.

So far the only current browser that doesn't support PNG, is Mac OS 
Internet Explorer. What about older versions of IE and Mozilla? Does 
anyone know the url for a site that catalogs this stuff? I know that one

hmmmm... I use IE 5.x and it displays PNG just fine. There is something 
weird though... if you tried to open a PNG file directly it will 
complain saying it doesn't know how... however, if the PNG is part of an 
html page loaded via regular http then IE shows it just fine. I run 
Mapserver 3.5 on my iBook with PNG support only.

works.

Hi,

I'm planning to upgrade to MS 3.6 the next days.

Could someone give me a list of version-nubers, that guarantee a running 
system:

I will use SuSE Linux 8.0!

-Apache
-PHP
-PostgreSQL
-PostGIS
-GD
-Mapserver
-PHP/Mapscript
-Rosa
-Maplett
-PROJ4
 
etc. etc.

Would be great to have such an overview, not only for me, but also at 
the MapServer Documentation Pages.

Regards,
alex

Message-ID: <005801c22f43$ec464e20$650202c0@vip>

Hello.

 I've tried to compile MapServer 3.6.2, available from DM Solutions FTP
site,  on NT 4.0 SP6a.

  I've got following error mesasage.

mapsymbol.c
mapsymbol.c(5) : fatal error C1083: can't open am include file
'mapparser.h'
: No such file or directory
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

 In MapServer 3.6.1, there are "mapparser.h", "mapparser.c" and
"mapparser.y."

 However, in 3.6.2, no above former two files, but only
"mapparser.y"(Bison/Yacc) exists. This file is as same as 3.6.1's.

 And 3.6.2's Makefile.vc i as same as 3.6.1's, no description about
"mapparser.y" or Bison/Yacc.

 So I copied 3.6.1's "mapparser.h", "mapparser.c" into 3.6.2.  And
re-make.

 But I've got another error message like this.

 LIB : fatal error LNK1181: can't opewn an input file "maplexer.obj"
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'lib' : return code '0x49d'
Stop.

 There's only "maplexer.l". 3.6.2's "maplexer.obj" is a little different
from 3.6.1's.
But I also copied 3.6.1's "maplexer.c"


 At last, I could fished compiling without errors.

 My above compiling solution was right one? Or could you archive above
lakced files in 3.6.1 tar ball?

 Best Regards.

I was thinking that an abstracted version of PHP/Mapscript could handle
this nicely. PHP already does persistent connections, so some work
around allowing PHP/Mapscript to use existing resource allocators to
grab the connection objects from the PHP system would allow Mapserver
apps to take advantage. PHP can be a great little application server,
all the infrastructure is already there. Regardless of whether FastCGI
or PHP or a module approach is taken though, the basic thread-safety
issues have to be resolved, as Daniel has noted.

Those files (and maplexer.c) are generated by bison and flex and are
usually included in the source distribution when Steve prepares them
since the bison/flex tools are not easily accessible on Windows.

I had forgotten to generate and include those files when I prepared the
3.6.2 tarball, but I've added them to the mapserver-3.6.2.tar.gz on our
download site a few minutes ago.


For those who may be wondering what's going on with 3.6.2 or if they
missed the announcement of a 3.6.2 release, here's the scoop: 3.6.2
contains only fixes/changes required by the MapLab suite of PHP tools
(http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/webtools/maplab/), but none of the changes
justify an upgrade from 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 for regular users... that's why
we didn't bother announcing this release or updating the UMN website.

So unless you use the MapLab tools, most users can either use 3.6.1 or
3.6.2 and will have the same level of stability and the same features. 

Best Regards,

Daniel

You might find the following instructions useful even if they don't
match your OS exactly:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptRH72

Any version will work since we use PHP as a CGI

PHP 4.2.1 compiled as a CGI, see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI

Postgres 7.2.1 with postgis 0.7.1 are known to work well with MapServer

> -GD

GD 1.8.4 (or any version after 1.6)

> -PHP/Mapscript

3.6.1 or 3.6.2

> -Rosa
> -Maplett

These don't matter... they're client-side and don't change often
anyway.  Just keeep in mind that Java applets support only GIF or JPEG
images.

If you want to read from various raster or vector data files (other than
shapefiles and TIFF) then you may want to compile/install GDAL 1.1.7.

Get the latest version from http://www.remotesensing.org/proj/ and make

Please feel free to create a "step by step SUSE compilation" page in the
Wiki, like I did for the RH72 instructions above.

	pache
Message-ID: <18E0CC75605BD411907800508B8BB8D049E5F1@odin.enator.dk>

Hi group,
anyone have experience in compiling MapServer 3.6.1 on HP-Unix 11, 64bit? 

I've spend the whole week gathering libraries and piecing it togeither. The
binary can read shape files and pngs and display them, but when I enable an
OracleSpatial layer, MapServer crashes with a "bus error(coredump)" in the
Apache log.

The compile went smooth (used Oracle 9i, release 2) except for a couple of
"char" warnings and "variable not used / unitialized". No errors were
produced.

I've tried to set all thinkable environment variables for Oracle 9i's, but
it makes no difference.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Regards
Bjarni Thor Pjetursson

Haven't tried it, but you can get an idear of the performance from other
applications like this one:
www.kortal.dk

Unfortunately it's in Danish, so it might be difficult to start for you:
1. Click the map of Denmark in the upper left corner
2. Click the link "Ja, installer...." (in English: Yes, install...)
(this will install an ActiveX component from Earth Ressource Mapper)

Now you have a map of Denmark, where you can pan like you suggest. If it's
possible with MapServer is a good question... ;-)

When you click on PAN, instead of clicking a point on the map, use a 
hand and move the map
as you move you mouse. I am not sure about the delay this would cause, 
but has anyone tried it?

Hi,
you might want to port your shapefile to the database as well. By doing
this, you can use standard SQL to join the objects in your layer.
Another solution is to alter your layers FILTER attribute on-the-fly. You
could have an HTML input item called "MAP_LAYERNAME_FILTER" where you alter
the WHERE-clause for your shapefile. Read the cgi reference:

I'd like to build an application which allow the user to query an

How can I do this?
How can I link the returned ID from the external database with the

How can I query the shapefile and highlight the results in PHP/MapScript

Can anyone send me an example?

A database-level I/O error occurred.

No further information in the SDE-Logs. The Layer displays fine, and if
I test the FILTER-Statement directly in the Map-File the FILTER applies
correctly to the displayed Map.

I'm using 3.6.1, ArcSDE 8.2 and Oracle8i with Solaris8. 

Every hint is appreciated.

There are Madrid and Berlin on the map.
I know the lat and lon of both towns and also the x and y pixel coordinates.

I need the upper left hand and lower right hand coordiantes of the map in
degrees.

I need this to geocode the map.

I believe the map is a Universal Transverse Mercator map.

Later i want to display other lat/lon coordinates on the map.
I understand that i need both x/y and lat/lon coordinates of the map to do
this.

Any tips and hints?
I use php, not mapserver.
This needs to become a lowe tech solution to geocode maps.

I tried to change the demo so it shows true type symbols instead of circles
in Airport layer.
I did the following changes.

1. Created text file "fonts.list" with one line:
arial arial.ttf

2. added the line 
FONTSET "D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\demo\fonts\fonts.list"
after the lines SHAPEPATH and IMAGECOLOR in map section of file demo.map. 
And to be 100% sure I copied arial.ttf file into the same directory.
The path is OK. I got no error messages.

3. Created new Symbol description:
SYMBOL
  NAME 'Evgeny'
  TYPE truetype
  FONT arial
  FILLED FALSE
  ANTIALIAS true
  CHARACTER "B"
END

4. In section describing Airports layer I made the following change
#    SYMBOL 'circle'
    SYMBOL 'Evgeny'
Just trying to show truetype font symbol "B" instead of the circle

And I see nothing in "airport" layer.
The legend shows line "airport" but also without any symbol.
But the layer is not empty. The features are just invisible. I even managed
to query once an invisible airport.

What did I make wrong, or what did I miss?
Thank you in advance.

There is one more question  to all...

I'm using basic mapserver....

There is anyway to hide the data from the Location bar?

When i execute mapserver the location shows something like this:

http://www.adress.com.br/cgi-bin/mapserver/mapserv?zoomdir=-1&zoomsize=10&mode=browse&layer2=layer4&layer3=layer1&layer4=layer3&layer5=layer7&submit=Consultar&imgxy=249.5+299.5&imgext=1491.706003+834.766724+1668.094797+1046.433276&map=%2F%2Fhome%2Fhttpd%2Fhtml%2Flotes%2Fmaps.map&savequery=true&mapext=shapes


There is anyway to execute mapserver and the location bar just show: 
http://www.adress.com.br/ ?

Thanks.

Hi Evgeny,

Please make sure your GD is supporting TRUETYPE font. I know that if you use 
a distribution recent like RedHAt or Mandrake (maybe some others)  it should 
be supported by default. If not, please look at your GD Makefile to apply the 
change and recompile your GD.

Then, make sure Mapserver is supporting TRUETYPE font. This can be done by 
adding this option "--enable-force-freetype1" in your "configure"

Regards,
.

I don't think there is any way to control the color or thickness of the
zoom box via applet parameters in the current version, but if you're
familiar with Java then you could edit the Java source and change that
yourself.

use post method instead of get... get sends the query string in the 
url... post embeds it in a form... make sure you have the appropriate 
hidden form variables defined that get populated on the client side with 
javascript, etc. yes, it will be prettier. needless to say, it will be a 
tad bit more complicated than what you are using till now.

Jo?o,

you could put your main mapserver document inside a frameset with only one
frame, e.g. one row and width 100%. Then your location bar will only show the
start URL. Of course the complete location will still be visible if somebody
uses the 'view frame info' function of the browser.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Still can't compile MapScript on FreeBSD 4.5
Message-ID: <B961B5DD.12E1%thesquid@friedbaloney.com>

Hello,

Thanks for all the suggestions last time around, but I somehow still can't
seem to compile Mapscript on my system.
The system is:
FreeBSD 4.5
Apache 1.3.26
PHP 4.2.1
Mapserver 3.6.1

PHP was configured as such:
./configure --with-mysql --with-system-regex

In php.ini: register_globals = On

Mapserver configuration:
./configure --enable-runpath --with-proj=/usr/local/
--with-php=/usr/local/src/php-4.2.1/

I've edited the mapscript makefile as suggested:

CC =    gcc   -I. -I.. -DPIC -fpic
LD =     gcc -Wl -Wl
CFLAGS = -O2  -Wall -DCOMPILE_DL=1 -DPHP4
RUNPATHS=  -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/src/mapserver-3.6.1
.
.
.
#CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) $(MS_DEFINE) $(MS_INC) $(PHP_INC)
# became:
CFLAGS = -O2  -Wall -DCOMPILE_DL=1 -DPHP4 $(MS_DEFINE) $(MS_INC) $(PHP_INC)
.
.
.
# and:
%.o: %.c php_mapscript_util.h php_mapscript.h
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $<

To no avail. Without the "undef" flag, I get undefined calls to routines.

gcc -Wl -Wl -o php_mapscript.so php_mapscript_util.o php_mapscript.o
mapscript_i.o -R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/src/mapserver-3.6.1
-L/usr/local/src/mapserver-3.6.1 -lmap        -L/usr/local//lib -lproj
-ltiff -ljpeg -lfreetype -lpng -lz -lpdf -lgd -L/usr/local/lib -lgd -ljpeg
-lfreetype -lpng -lz -ljpeg   -lm
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: warning: libfreetype.so.8, needed by

.
.
.
...and so forth

With it, it just stops with an error 1.


All of the referenced directories exist.

Is there anyone out there who has gotten php/mapscript to compile on a
FreeBSD machine?

Thanks for any help!

Bryan -

I'm assuming that you are using PHP MapScript...

the segment of my ROSA applet that refers to that button is:

    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_fullext_IMG" VALUE="/MapSymbols/FullExtOff.gif">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_fullext_IMG_PR" VALUE="/MapSymbols/FullExtOn.gif">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_fullext_HINT" VALUE="Zoom to Full Extent">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_fullext_INPUT" VALUE="submit">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_fullext_NAME" VALUE="CMD">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_fullext_VALUE" VALUE="FULL_EXTENT">

In my main PHP page, I run through a if, elseif, else statement looking at
the various values of the form variable CMD... when I get to the value of
"FULL_EXTENT" (what the form submits if I hit the above specified button) I
run the following.

elseif ($HTTP_POST_VARS["CMD"]=="FULL_EXTENT") {
  //set an extent array for the full extent specified in
  // the mapfile
  $Full_Extent = array($map->extent->minx, $map->extent->miny,
$map->extent->maxx, $map->extent->maxy);

  //Call the zoom function
  zoom($map, $Full_Extent);
}


// ZOOM FUNCTION
// 'Zoom' the map to a new extent based on a rectangle.
function zoom($map, $Extent) {
//Set the mapextent to the new Zoom extent
$map->setextent($Extent[0], $Extent[1], $Extent[2], $Extent[3]);
}

Message-ID: <614FCE5F14A6D41180C200010240D6A2BDB47B@LINNMS>


Dear List,

I can't make an embedded scalebar come out accurately at many scales.

I've played with my RESOLUTION and the SCALEBAR_SIZE, but I can only get it
to work for certain scales.  For instance, a resolution of 96 and a scale
bar size of 432 with 4 intervals will show four 100 foot intervals for
1":100',200' and 300'.  Then it gives intervals of 410 and 510, but for
1000,2000 etc.. it's fine.

I need to be able to print the image and measure items on the hard copy
using a ruler.  The problem is that the size of the scalebar includes the
trailing text: "1000 feet".  Is there a way around this?

Thanks to all...

Adam

Nyon,

I hate to ask the obvious question, but have you copied the 
php_mapscript_36.dll file to c:\php\extensions/php_mapscript_36.dll 
and does it have permissions so that the webserver can access it?

Run a php script

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

where is php_mapscript_36.dll loaded on the production server?
where does it say the php.ini file is located at? 
where does it say the extensions dir is located at?
When you run your php script that uses mapscript is there a path on 
the dl("php_mapscript_36.dll"); line?

Hope this helps,
  -Steve

Subject: [mapserver-users] Filter query
Message-ID: <1027406847.8398.64.camel@homer.bundabergcity.qld.gov.au>

Hello all,
I am having trouble figuring out how to use filters in php/mapscript
3.6.1.
I have a layer where I want to dynamically change the filter string.
Here is the layer out of the map file
LAYER
  NAME selected_parcel
  GROUP cadaster
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "user=steveb dbname=blis host=blis"
  TYPE polygon
  STATUS off
  TEMPLATE ""
  #FILTER "tag = 'RP83015/1'"  # Option 1
  FILTER "tag = 'test_string'"      # Option 2
  TRANSPARENCY 50
  DATA "the_geom from bucc"
  CLASS
     Name "Selected Parcel"
     COLOR 255 220 220
  END
END

Here is the relevant mapscript stuff
$rp=RP83015/1;
$selected_layer = $map->getlayerbyname(selected_parcel);
$selected_layer->setfilter("tag = $rp");
$selected_layer->set(status,MS_ON);
$image=$map->draw();
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage(MS_PNG,1,1,0);

I keep getting the following error and no image when I try and run the
script:
Warning: MapServer Error in msPOSTGISLayerWhichShapes(): prep_DB:Error
executing POSTGIS DECLARE statement (0.6 failed - retried 0.5 and it
failed too). DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT
tag::text,asbinary(force_collection(force_2d(the_geom)),'NDR'),OID::text
from bucc WHERE (tag = RP83015/1) and (the_geom && setSRID(
'BOX3D(432838.932823529 7247483.128,432988.617176471
7247568.006)'::BOX3D,find_srid('','bucc','the_geom') )) in
/var/www/html/blis_dev/lis.phpm on line 86

I suspect it is due to the where clause in the sql, ie WHERE (tag =
RP83015/1).  I have tried placing the single quotes (') around $rp in
the setfilter line and it still fails.  The where clause in the error
message looks like this, WHERE (tag = ).  I have tried escaping the
single quotes with backslashes but still no go.
Is there another way to escape the single quotes so that they appear in
the where clause as 
WHERE (tag = 'RP83015/1')  ?
If not, am I going about this process in the correct way?
When I comment out the setfilter line in php and change the comment
around on Option 1 & 2 in the map file everything works how I want it
to.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Hello....

I've spent a couple of days on this problem now, and I'm not getting anywhere.

I'm using mapserver 3.5 with OGR support for reading MapInfo tab files and I've never had any problems with this, but lately I've encountered a couple of weird problems.... Mapserver refuses to open some TAB files... When I active the layer for a specific tab file mapserver just starts consuming 100% cpu and never gets anywhere.

Has anybody else seen this behavior... Is it a bug in mapserver or is it just me....

My mapserver version....
C:\Programmer\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin>mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Hi List,

i have a python-mapscript script that queries a database, queries for
each returned value a layer (via filteritem/filter) and then retrieves
the resulting shapeOj and puts it in a new shapefileObj. the dbf-file
for the new shapefileObj is also generated with msDBFCreate, then twqo
fields are created and later records are added to the dbf, finally the
dbf file are closed.

The problem is now, that this sometimes does not work and it crashes
with a segmentation fault. It seems, this script is working when the
dbf-files that are to be created do not exist in the specified
directory. So i build a method that prior to creating the shape and dfb
files looks in the directory and if present deletes the shp/shp/dbf
file. But still the script crashes- if i do it manually it works.

Can somebody give me a hint, i if have to do something special with the
DBFInfoObj's or sth similar: That would be great.

Cheers, Michael

P.S.: the source code of the script:

--snip

  newshpname = '/var/www/plz_veranst'
  newshp = shapefileObj(newshpname,MS_SHAPEFILE_POINT)
  newshpdbf = msDBFCreate(newshpname+'.dbf')
  msDBFAddField(newshpdbf,'PLZ',0,5,0)
  msDBFAddField(newshpdbf,'NAME',0,35,0)

  # Query existing plz-points and copy values to new plz_veranst
  plzdbf = msDBFOpen('/var/www/plz_points.dbf',"rb")
  plzmap = mapObj('/var/www/test.map')
  plzlayer = plzmap.getLayerByName('orte_gesamt')
  plzlayer.filteritem="PLZ"
  plzshp = shapefileObj('/var/www/plz_points',-1)
  count=0
  for vlist_item in vlist: # vlist is a list of integers
    plzlayer = plzmap.getLayerByName('orte_gesamt')
    plzlayer.filteritem="PLZ"
    plzlayer.setFilter("\"%d\"" % int(vlist_item))
    plzlayer.queryByAttributes(plzmap,MS_SINGLE)
    if plzlayer.resultcache.numresults == 1:
      r = plzlayer.getResult(0)
      ptshp = shapeObj(-1)
      plzshp.get(r.shapeindex, ptshp)
      name = msDBFReadStringAttribute(plzdbf,r.shapeindex,2)
      newshp.add(ptshp)
      msDBFWriteStringAttribute(newshpdbf, count, 0, vlist_item)
      msDBFWriteStringAttribute(newshpdbf, count, 1, name)
      count=count+1
  msDBFClose(plzdbf)

Hi Bjarni,
have you allready tried to set environment variables in httpd.conf ?

(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>

I can connect to Oracle Spatial without problems , but the map is empty 
(blank)  :-( and I don't know why ?
Datasource is a shapefile uploaded with shp2sdo tool and the file version 
works fine ....

If it works after this fix , can you see any map form SDO ??

thanks gregor

Subject: [mapserver-users] remote access to ./cgi-bin/mapserv
Message-ID: <3D3D33CB.8040504@gmx.net>

Hi all,

Does anybody ever tried to access mapserv on an other (remote) server?

The idea is to access one mapserv installation on one server(e.g. MServ) 
for several webpages on other machines(e.g. 1Serv, 2Serv, 3Serv).

The project data and /tmp/ image files should be stored on one 
machine(e.g. 2Serv), not on the mapserv providing one (MServ)).
The 'mapserv server' (MServ) gets the configuration from the remote 
server (2Serv), generates the images and stores it into a 2Serv/tmp/  folder
with 777 read/write/exe access.

What configuration/compilation is needed on MServ and how to access the 
mapserv-cgi?

Best Regards,
Stefan

And how difficult is it you think to make mapserver thread-safe and where could be the bottle-necks?

I don't remember the exact details, but I think we fixed a similar issue
in the OGR/TAB driver after the 3.5 release.  The issue was in the OGR
driver, not in MapServer itself... but anyway you'll need a new
MapServer build using the latest GDAL/OGR library.  You seem to be
running on Windows, so try downloading the 3.6 executable on our site,
it shouldn't have this problem any more:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/mapserver-3.6.2-win32-php4.2.1-libwww.zip

The 3.6 win32 binaries on the UMN website may also contain this fix but
I can't confirm that since I don't know which version of GDAL/OGR they
use.

Hi, all.  Has anything changed in how MapServer deals with new features in 3.6.1?  I have a very simple CGI request that used to work in 3.5 but no longer works in 3.6.1.  All I want to do is draw a star on a reference map at a particular location.  Here's the CGI string and layer definition:

http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=../mapfiles/reference.map&layer=marker&map_marker_feature=new&map_marker_feature_points=-1562716.9823400327+1779629.0751406713

  END


Any help is much appreciated!

Is there anything special about your TAB layer?  Is it by any chance a
Seamless layer?  Seamless layers for me caused similar issues.  It was
something I reported and the developers fixed - but is only available if you
compile against the latest GDAL (I think that's what Daniel Morissette said
- I don't know much about compiling MapServer).  It was loading every tile
in the Seamless layer.

Hello....

I've spent a couple of days on this problem now, and I'm not getting
anywhere.

I'm using mapserver 3.5 with OGR support for reading MapInfo tab files and
I've never had any problems with this, but lately I've encountered a couple
of weird problems.... Mapserver refuses to open some TAB files... When I
active the layer for a specific tab file mapserver just starts consuming
100% cpu and never gets anywhere.

Has anybody else seen this behavior... Is it a bug in mapserver or is it
just me....

Is it possible to generate & use a unique name for the new shape/dbffile?
This should eliminate a name conflict that could be causing the crash.

Message-ID: <3D3D8BD0.7060905@lafn.org>

Greetings,

I have compiled mapserver 3.6.1 on redhat 7.2 using for the most part
the red hat instructions on the wiki site.  I have the itasca demo
up and running first with gifs and then with png and have read some
of the available documentation, but I have no background in GIS at
this time.

I am trying to use the tutorial instructions and some state shapefiles 
downloaded
from the nationalatlas site to try and learn how to setup a basic site,
no layers ( if that makes sense) just the basic shapefile.  From the 
tutorial
I have tried to hack the first tutorial lesson and substitute the Calif. 
state
shapefile without luck.  What I think I need are the basics of how
mapserver takes a shapefile and displays it.
 I have also tried substituting the Calif. shapefile in the Itasca demo.
Although I see a png files being created in the tmp directory,
I dont believe I have the right approach as looking at the files
none appear to be the state outline.

Should I be looking elsewhere , perhaps some shared library doc on 
shapefiles?

Just to mention, the redhat install instructions on the wiki site, 
discuss using
freetype1 but I couldn't get the compiles to work with freetype1 as
the make ( for gd I think) would fails with missing ftglyph.h and freetype.h
and checking there was no ftglyph.h in the freetype directory in rh7.2.
Using freetype2 the compile went through.

Hi, I am using STYLEITEM "AUTO"with some Mapinfo files and it's 
working fantastically well. However, I can't get labels to 
render. The legend shows a white rectangle with a single pixel in 
the middle of it.
However, if I remove the "auto" layer for labels and add a layer 
with a manually defined class for the labels, then they render.  
The OGR demo apps which are at dmsolutions.ca appear to just use 
STYLEITEM "AUTO" and the labels magically render.  What am I 
doing wrong? I am using the stock symbols_mapinfo.sym which is 
recommended for starting with. Here is the layer format, ogrinfo

First, you need to make sure that all of the URLs and pathnames in your
.map and .html files are correct. Check your server error log. Another
likely problem is that your extent may be wrong. If your extent says to
look at Minnesota, then your California shape is going to be offscreen
and you won't see it.

Shapefiles are the mix of three files with the same basename:
.dbf	--	A database table containing the data you make when you
		edit a shapefile's "attribute table"; basically, all
		of the extended data you create for your own purposes is
		stored here.

.shp	--	The actual shapes of your shapes (I'm guessing)

.shx	--	The geographical coordinates of your shapes (I'm guessing)

These three files are linked by row order; I've found that I can swap out
.dbf files at will without needing to change any of the other files as
long as I keep all the database rows in order. In any case, you need these
three files in your data directory. You may have other files with the same
basename, but they're not really necessary as these three are.

In your map file, you just reference the shapefile by its basename. For
instance, if your shapefile is called foobar.shp, you would then use "DATA
foobar" in your map file.

As far as I know, you need to have LAYERs in your mapfile to display
anything in Mapserver, but I could be horribly mistaken.


If everything looks right but you still can't see your shapefile, use the
shpinfo tool to make sure that the shapefile's type is 0-9 or 20-29 and
not in the 10-19 range that Mapserver can't read. If you didn't get
shpinfo with Mapserver, you can get it from Frank Warmerdam's shapelib
tools:
http://gdal.velocet.ca/projects/shapelib/

Some info about different shape types is here:
http://www.esricanada.com/english/support/faqs/arcgis/aifaq811.asp

If it turns out that you have Z data in the 10-19 range, the shapelib
library can be used to make a program to convert it to regular data.
It's far more likely that your problem is simply a bad pathname or extent,
but I hacked up a POINTZ to POINT converter when I was faced with this
issue. It will need to be modified to fit another situation:


/* shp_unz.c
** Convert a POINTZ to a POINT
*/

#include <shapefil.h>   /* shapelib */

int main(){
        SHPHandle in, out;
        SHPObject *foo;
        int i =0;

        in = SHPOpen("merged", "rb");
        out = SHPCreate("merged2", SHPT_POINT);

        if(in == NULL || out == NULL){
                SHPClose(in);
                SHPClose(out);
                puts("failed");
        }

        while((foo = SHPReadObject(in, i)) != NULL){
                if(foo->nSHPType != SHPT_POINTZ){
                        printf ("%d Not a POINTZ", i);
                } else {
                        foo->nSHPType = SHPT_POINT;
                        SHPWriteObject(out, -1, foo);
                }
                /* the docs say to destroy WriteObject returns */
                SHPDestroyObject(foo);

                i++;

        }

        SHPClose(in);
        SHPClose(out);

        return 0;

This is a known bug with Mapinfo OGR layers.  It is listed in bugzilla,
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168

What I've been doing as a workaround is creating two layers, one with
STYLEITEM "auto" and the other is a TYPE Annotation.  If you give them both
the same name, they turn off and on together.

Hi, I am using STYLEITEM "AUTO"
working fantastically well. However, I can't get labels to 
render. The legend shows a white rectangle with a single pixel in 
the middle of it.
However, if I remove the "auto" layer for labels and add a layer 
with a manually defined class for the labels, then they render.  
The OGR demo apps which are at dmsolutions.ca appear to just use 
STYLEITEM "AUTO" and the labels magically render.  What am I 
doing wrong? I am using the stock symbols_mapinfo.sym which is 
recommended for starting with. Here is the layer format, ogrinfo 
output:

Hi!

At
http://www.npm.ac.uk/rsdas/doc/description.html
there are s vew very handy formulas to do lat/lon to xy math:

How to find a latitude/longitude point within an image

The images we produce are in Mercator projection and there are a set of
fairly simple formulae for converting latitude/longitude (lat/lon) positions
to x/y pixel co-ordinates.

rows - number of rows in image
cols - number of columns in image
minlon/maxlon - minimum/maximum longitude of image (in decimal degrees)
minlat/maxlat - minimum/maximum latitude of image (in decimal degrees)
Note that these are the coordinates of the CENTRE of the corner pixels.
DEGTORAD - conversion from degrees to radians (PI/180.0)
ln - natural log

Calculate Y position.

   Ymin = ln (tan (DEGTORAD * (45.0 + (minlat / 2.0))))
   Ymax = ln (tan (DEGTORAD * (45.0 + (maxlat / 2.0))))
   Yint = ln (tan (DEGTORAD * (45.0 + (lat / 2.0))))
   FractY = (Yint - YMin) / (YMax - YMin)
   y = (rows - 1) * (1.0 - FractY)

Calculate X position.

   FractX = (lon - minlon) / (maxlon - minlon)
   x = (cols - 1) * FractX


I made this php script out of it:

$Ymin = log (tan (deg2rad (45 + ($minlat / 2))));
$Ymax = log (tan (deg2rad (45 + ($maxlat / 2))));
$Yint = log (tan (deg2rad (45 + ($lat / 2))));
$y = ($width - 1)*(1 -(($Yint - $YMin)/($YMax - $YMin)));

$x = round(($height - 1) * (($lon - $minlon) / ($maxlon - $minlon)));

Unfortunately something seems to be wrong. I never get usefull results.
Please can you tell me if the formula is right at all?


Thanks,

Jan

Hi,

Please may I ask for your help with a formulae if found at
http://www.npm.ac.uk/rsdas/doc/description.html

----------------------------- snip ----------------------------------------
How to find a latitude/longitude point within an image

The images we produce are in Mercator projection and there are a set of
fairly simple formulae for converting latitude/longitude (lat/lon) positions
to x/y pixel co-ordinates.

rows - number of rows in image
cols - number of columns in image
minlon/maxlon - minimum/maximum longitude of image (in decimal degrees)
minlat/maxlat - minimum/maximum latitude of image (in decimal degrees)
Note that these are the coordinates of the CENTRE of the corner pixels.
DEGTORAD - conversion from degrees to radians (PI/180.0)
ln - natural log

Calculate X position.

   FractX = (lon - minlon) / (maxlon - minlon)
   x = (cols - 1) * FractX


Calculate Y position.

   Ymin = ln (tan (DEGTORAD * (45.0 + (minlat / 2.0))))
   Ymax = ln (tan (DEGTORAD * (45.0 + (maxlat / 2.0))))
   Yint = ln (tan (DEGTORAD * (45.0 + (lat / 2.0))))
   FractY = (Yint - YMin) / (YMax - YMin)
   y = (rows - 1) * (1.0 - FractY)
----------------------------------- snap ------------------------------
I took your formulae to make this php formulae:

$Ymin = log (tan (deg2rad (45 + ($minlat / 2))));
$Ymax = log (tan (deg2rad (45 + ($maxlat / 2))));
$Yint = log (tan (deg2rad (45 + ($lat / 2))));

$y = ($width - 1)*(1 -(($Yint - $YMin)/($YMax - $YMin)));
$x = round(($height - 1) * (($lon - $minlon) / ($maxlon - $minlon)));

I use this basic data:

$height="411";
$width="449";
$maxlat="64.13";
$minlat="34.05";
$minlon="-21.95";
$maxlon="30.46";

Unfortunately I always get an error "division by zero".
($YMax - $YMin) seems to be zero under all circumstances.

Please can you help me to correct this?
I am not sure if it is the right way to take the width and height of the
image for the cols and rows the formulae.

You can see my corresponding map at my site:
http://www.jan-mantkowski.de/map/index.php?

It is a unprojected mercator map, from
http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/mapit//

and bases on the airports of Reykjavik (Island), Kiev and Rabat.
So I know that at least the coordinates and projection of the map itslef are
right.

Thank you very much in advance,

Hi Gregor,
haven't tried that but will do. At present I set the environment in a shell
before executing Mapserver. Works fine with shp-files.

You say you get no visible data from your Oracle layer. I've done this
without problems on Windows, so don't hesitate to ask. Have you chosen the
right projection for the layer?

I can connect to Oracle Spatial without problems , but the map is empty

Datasource is a shapefile uploaded with shp2sdo tool and the file

works fine ....

If it works after this fix , can you see any map form SDO ??

Hello everyone,

I've been testing Mapserver for some days now and am very enthusiastic about
its usage and performance. I've downloaded the windows binaries from
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32binaries.html and did my tests with
shapefiles. I'd also like to test Mapserver with data from Oracle Spatial
8.1.7. Does anyone know if there is a windows binary available which support
input from Oracle?
If there isn't a binary available I am going to try to compile it on windows
myself. Because it's strongly recommended to use one of the precompiled
binaries I hope there is one with Oracle Spatial input. 

Thanks in advance,

Oracle Spatial works fine in the Linux/UNIX environment for MapServer 3.5.  I haven't work on 3.6 yet and I also don't know if it is in the Windows Binary.  Perhaps you can try it out by adding a layer in your mapfile that attempts to retrieve data from oracle such as:

LAYER
  NAME "name"
  CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
  CONNECTION 'userid/pw at sid'
  DATA "geometry from (select gid, geometry from places)"
  TYPE POINT
  STATUS DEFAULT
   .
   .
   .
END

Of course its success is not only depending on MapServer but also your web server and Oracle set up.

YC...

I saw your post the other day, but didn't respond b/c the questions Steve
Woodbridge asked were the same ones I would have. The problem I was having
was that I was trying to run a dll compiled for PHP4.04 (hence the name of
the file) on PHP 4.05. As a general rule, you need to be running the same
version of PHP as the dll. So...
 
 o make sure that the versions of PHP between your 2 machines are the same
 o make sure that the version of PHP you are using is the one the dll was
compiled with (this should be specified in the README.txt file that came
with the file).
 o I suspect that PHP is functioning OK if you're getting that error; but
just to make sure, you should try a simple PHP file just to make sure...
something like <?phpinfo();?> in a file called test.php. Make sure you
'comment' out the php_mapscript dll in the php.ini file. If this loads OK,
that should indicate that PHP is working fine, and that it is a problem with
the mapscript dll.
 o The more recent dlls from DM Solutions are compiled with support for a
number of features that require additional libraries. These dependencies are
generally spelled out in the README file and *usually* come in the
distribution. They are a set of dlls that should go in your system32
directory. If these are not installed, the dll will not load.
 o Make sure that you don't have a permissions problem. Using the test.php
page above, review the available 'modules' - next, uncomment one of the dlls
in php.ini... say, dbase support. Then reload test.php. If the dll loaded
successfully, you should see a new entry in the table for the dbase support
module.

Cheers!

hi,

i say your posting below and is having the same problem.
i got my production server working but when i need to port it over the
'real' server, it gave me this error

Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\web\php_mapscript_36.dll' - The
specified module could not be found. in C:\Web\GPS_spot\gpsmap.php on line
116

the 2 servers are set identical.
it's so puzzling.

how did u solve your problem

YOUR PREVIOUS MESSAGE
++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm trying to get PHP configured on my machine.

I downloaded 4.0.5 and installed on PWS. Works fine.

I downloaded the php_mapscript.dll (php4.0.4_mapscript_dll-20010108.zip)
from the web site, and placed the dll in my C:\php\ directory.

I've downloaded the 3.3 and 3.4 source to obtain the
phpinfo_mapscritpt.phtml file.

Here's by problem...

When I try to load the php file, I get the following error:

Warning: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php/php3_mapscript.dll' - The
specified module could not be found. in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PHP_tests\MapScript\phpinfo_mapscript.php on line 17

The rest of the page loads.

I've tried putting the *.dll in the same directory as the *.php file, the
cgi-bin dirctory, and the c:\php directory. I've also tried changing the
php.ini files extension_dir line to c:\php\. None of this seems to work.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Arrrgh! This is my first attempt to work with layers in two different

Steve -

I'm not sure about this, but have you tried adding a "datum=NAD83" to the latlong layers?  I always include a datum or ellpsoid in all my projection definitions - I'm not sure what would be the default since your output projection specifies a datum and the input latlong layers do not.

Steve -

IF you're state plane data is in feet, then you may need to add a line to
your projection def that will do the feet to meter conversion. I had a
similar problem with some state plane data that was in feet. Here's the
projection def for the layer that I was using.

  PROJECTION
    "proj=lcc" 
    "lat_1=45.056389" 
    "lat_2=44.745278" 
    "lat_0=44.405556" 
    "lon_0=-89.770000" 
    "x_0=74676.149352" 
    "y_0=0" 
    "ellps=GRS80"
    "datum=NAD83"
    "to_meter=0.3048006096" <-- THIS LINE
    "no_defs"
  END

This has always been confusing to me... and I just monkey around w/ it 'til
it works. We end up w/ a lot of SP data in feet...parameters are in feet,
etc.

Anyway, this worked for me. HTH.

Chip

Subject: [mapserver-users] strange mapinfo layer
Message-ID: <4D799B5E-9F2F-11D6-9ACB-0030653DEAA0@arc.to>

Is it possible to render this layer with mapserver? OGRinfo says 
it's a style with embedded string:

OGRFeature(Esloclbl):1
   id (String) =
   Style = 
LABEL(t:"Marie\nHughes",a:0.000000,s:0.001286g,c:#000000,p:2,f:"Arial"
)
   POINT (-106.71142900 35.15584200)

The id (String) slot is totally unused in this layer. It seems as 
if the label text should have been in there instead. Any 
suggestions?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Zoom function with buttons
Message-ID: <20020724182436.19356.qmail@web10506.mail.yahoo.com>

Hello,
I'm calling my zoom function with buttons.
Here is the function:

function zoomAction(action){
	if(form1.document.forms[0]){
	form1.document.forms[0].zoomdir.value=action	}
}

And here are the buttons:

<input type="button" name="ZoomIn" value="ZoomIn"
onClick=zoomAction('1')>
<input type="button" name="ZoomOut" value="ZoomOut"
onClick=zoomAction('-1')>
<input type="button" name="Pan" value="Pan"
onClick=zoomAction('0')>

For some reason, the only thing these buttons do, is
Pan. When the zoom is made with radio buttons or with
a selection list like in the tutorials, it works fine.
So I don't think it's a problem with Maxzoom or
anything.
Can anybody offer some advice?
Thanks,
BW

Subject: [mapserver-users] Oracle spatial connection binary
Message-ID: <18E0CC75605BD411907800508B8BB8D00165EFBD@odin.enator.dk>

You can check your binary for oracle spatial support by doing this in
command prompt:
mapserver -v

If you don't see oraclespatial support, you must make your own compile. I
haven't seen a binary with oraclespatial on mapservers homepage (maybe
because the oracle libraries are proprietary...)

I've found a windows mapserver 3.5 with oraclespatial another place though:
http://parvillers.homeip.net/mapserver/mapserver.zip

Haven't had time to compile a 3.6 myself on Windows. If you do, I would like
a copy ;-)

Subject: [mapserver-users] Oracle spatial connection binary

Hello everyone,

I've been testing Mapserver for some days now and am very enthusiastic
about
its usage and performance. I've downloaded the windows binaries from
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32binaries.html and did my tests with
shapefiles. I'd also like to test Mapserver with data from Oracle
Spatial
8.1.7. Does anyone know if there is a windows binary available which
support
input from Oracle?
If there isn't a binary available I am going to try to compile it on
windows
myself. Because it's strongly recommended to use one of the precompiled
binaries I hope there is one with Oracle Spatial input. 

Thanks in advance,

Merlijn Simonse

This MapInfo object seems normal to me.  "id" is a regular attribute of
type string and can be emtpy, like any attribute.

If you exported your file to MIF/MID which is MapInfo's interchange
format then you would see something like this in the .MIF file:

TEXT "Marie\nHughes"
  -106.71142900 35.15584200  ... ...
  FONT("Arial", 0, ... ,...)  

The label text of a text object is not stored in a regular attribute in
MapInfo, it is a property specific to a text object as you can see here,
and OGR returns the label text via the Style value applied to a Point
object since pure text objects do not exist in the Simple Feature data
model.  If you setup this layer as TYPE ANNOTATION and using STYLEITEM
"AUTO" then you should see this labels on your map.

Daniel, thanks a lot. I see how it's working now. I am pretty new 
at GIS stuff. Here is a related question. I have another TAB file 
which has no geometry info in it, and crashes mapserver when I 
use it as an OGR connection. I think it's supposed to be joined 
with the table shown above. It's signature looks like this. How 
would I do a "join" to display, for instance the Address field of 
Eslocs.TAB?

Hi, 

I am a new user of MapServer. I just installed the demo and it runs fine. I
have two questions about the CGI variables.

1.   If I leave MAPSIZE blank and  set MAPEXT= -120+34+-30+56, will the
MapServer generate a map image with most-western longitude -120,
most-eastern longitude -30, most-southern latitude 34, most-northern
latitude 56?

2.   What is the difference between MAPEXT and IMGEXT? If I always show the
full map image generated by MapServer, is MAPEXT the CGI variable I should
use to send to MapServer?


Thank you in advance.

William Zhang

Hummm... this is bad... even though a layer with no geometries is
useless to MapServer, it should not crash on it... this as a bug that we
should fix since objects with "NONE" geometries are a valid case coming
from MapInfo and other GIS formats.

FYI I filed this in the MapServer bugzilla at
  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=169

Usually the dataset will be joined in MapInfo and you'll have a third
.TAB file (with NO associated .MAP/.DAT/.ID/.IND) that defines the join
between the two .TAB files.  You should point to this .TAB file in your
OGR connection and what MapServer will see will be the joined table.  If
you don't have a join .TAB file then you're out of luck.  You cannot use
MapServer or OGR to perform a join on the fly except via that special
MapInfo .TAB join file.

If you have several files and cannot tell which one is doing the join
then look at the contents of all your .TAB files in a text editor
(they're text files) and you'll find one that contains what looks like a
SQL SELECT statement... that's the one you want to point to.

Sure. Just add some HTML to your web page that directs you to

Hi, Zhang.
No, it is no difficult at all.
All you need is to have the street names in your shape or dbf file.
see
http://www.main-task.com/sig/
login:demo
password:demo
And try some zoom in at street level.
Hope that helps.

Another question on this topic: when I use styleitem auto on a 
particular table like you discuss above, the font being used 
looks really bad. How can I use manual CLASS settings on this 
table? The usual LABELITEM does not work when "auto" is turned on.

Can one use "auto" but override some features, such as the font 
or color?

Hi, 

I have 16 layers each for railways, roads, vegetation, etc for Hong Kong. If
I display each layer one by one it works properly. But I want to show them
all as a group. I read in the documentation that I can use "GROUP" in the
"LAYER" to combine different layers as one. But I'm not able to get it
properly. Right now I'm using the following lines to display one layer of
railways. 

Layer
  Name "rail"
  Data "Rail/rail_line_t10_polyline"
  STATUS On
  Type LINE
  Class
    Name "MTR KCR"
    Color 0 0 0
  End
End

Like "rail_line_t10_polyline" I have more layers. Could anybody help me out
to use the set of layers as one so that I can display or hide all layers at
the same time.

I tried the following code to group two layers as one and try but that
doesn't seem to work


LAYER
  NAME "rail"
  GROUP "RAILGRP"
  DATA "Rail/rail_line_t2_polyline"
  STATUS OFF
  Type LINE
  CLASS
    Name "MTR KCR"
    Color 0 0 0
  END #end of class object
END #end of layer object

LAYER
  NAME "rail2"
  GROUP "RAILGRP"
  DATA "Rail/rail_line_t3_polyline"
  STATUS OFF
  Type LINE
  CLASS
    Name "MTR KCR"
    Color 0 0 0
  END #end of class object
END #end of layer object

Hi!

	I need some advice about what might be the right path to achieve
	this:

	I have some layers in shapefiles, and I need to classify them
	from data that comes from an Oracle database (without Spatial
	extension).

	I've thought about these solutions:

	1.- Grab the data, and add column(s) to the dbf file of the
	shape, then set the expression and classitem of the layer
	according to the new column(s)

	2.- Grab the data, put it in a PostGIS DB and display as a
	PostGIS layer

	3.- ??? :-)

	Which one would you do? Any suggestion is very welcome.

	(BTW, I'm using MS 3.6.1)

Thanks,

In MapInfo there is a concept called the "Seamless Layers" where you can
create a single layer making use of more than one layer. Is there a similar

How do I write the code in .MAP file to tell the Server that these bunch of

Hi group,
this is a follow-up on an earlier post regarding coredump crash running
mapserver on HP-UX 64 bit compiled with Gnu CC.

The source compiles ok with Oraclespatial support, but when adding an Oracle
layer it crashes.

I've located the problem to line 280 - 288 in maporaclespatial.c, where it
seems that the OCI call OCIEnvCreate don't like the first parameter. If I
cast the parameter "&layerinfo" to "(void *)layerinfo", mapserver don't
crash anymore but instead it says:
msOCIConnect() in msOracleSpatialLayerOpen(): OracleSpatial error. 

Since I'm not a C / C++ expert, I'm pretty lost here...

Hi all.
I am having problems with using the WMS-client support in MapServer 3.6. All
normal layers work fine, but when I specify a WMSCONNECTION layer type and
switch it on, the request to the server simply does nothing until it times
out. It occurs to me that this could be due to the server having a proxy
between it and the Internet. I haven't been able to find anything in the
config files or documentation about dealing with proxies. I know this is a
bit of an odd configuration to have, but does MapServer support it?
 
Cheers in advance.
 
Matt Hatcher.

Check out the documentation for the utility programs:

tile4ms  which will create a tileindex
shptree which will create spatial indexes for shape files

Reddy -

I'm not familiar with the details of MapInfo's "seamless layers" but you can produce a similar effect using the GROUP statement in MapServer.  You can assign multiple layers to the same GROUP and then refer to that group by name as if it were a single layer.

Hi,

In MapInfo there is a concept called the "Seamless Layers" where you can
create a single layer making use of more than one layer. Is there a similar
kind of concept available in MapServer. I don't have much idea about
mapserver as these are my first days with it. 

How do I write the code in .MAP file to tell the Server that these bunch of
section make one layer.

Any suggestions, ideas, help??

Thanks a lot.

Through OGR, Mapinfo Seamless layers are supported.  Why not just use them?

Here's my US Zip layer definition, which is a Mapinfo TAB Seamless layer.

Or in the case of something like Census Tiger/Line data I have 3000+ 
counties and each county has roads, landmarks, various boundary 
files, lakes, rivers, etc. I create a tileindex to treat them all as 
one continuous layer for each data class. So for example I can have 
one LAYER which will define roads across the whole US and one for 
rivers, etc.

I can combine this with Ed's suggest below of using groups and if I 
need 4-5 LAYERs to define roads at different scales I can GROUP them 
so I can turn ON/OFF all road related LAYERs in 3000+ counties as if 
it was one LAYER.

Can I directly through mapscript classify layers from data not present
in the shapefile? With what methods must i experiment with?

I'm already using Mapscript, but i thought (or didn't see how) to
classify from data sets not present in the shapefile.

If that's possible, I'd be very relieved! :-)

By 'seamless' do you mean edge-matching?
If so, check into the tileindex setting in the mapfile documentation:

You can use the tile4ms command in the $MAPSERVER_SOURCE_DIR.

If your using mapscript already then you can do the math/concatenation
required for the reclassification directly in the scripting language and
then apply that value to a temporary field in the dbf and display from
that, or create several temporary subsets and display from those using
either a temporary shapefile or just a selection-set from a layer.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Evaluation: File Loader, XML-Mapfile, SVG & Struts
Message-ID: <web-4683503@hsr.ch>

Dear Mapserver Users

I am considering allocating some students work on Mapserver but before I'd like
to understand its architecture is and how it is being used.

1. What are the pro's and cons of adding "yet another" XML 
   vector format to mapserver (performance, generic 
   interface, flexibility): 
   a) Import it to GDAL/OGR 
   or b) Load it into PostGIS?

2. Did anybody implement Mapfile in XML as (direct) input to
   Mapserver? (would make life easier for syntax-proofed 
   editing in an XML-Editor; I saw some mail in the archive 
   but still...)

3. Did anybody already thought of outputting SVG as vector 
   paths using an SVG viewer client? (just coming from 
   the first SVG developers conference: http://www.svgopen.org)
   
4. Anyone who already considered using Mapserver e.g. in 
   Struts (http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/) or any other
   CMS which more strictly divides content from presentation 
   and navigation logic?

Any comments (or hints to FAQ)?

Reddy,

I'm written an ArcView extension called ShapeTiler that creates an index
shapefile based on selected themes in a view.  You can get it at
http://www.erlandsen.com .  There is a link on the left to 'Free GIS', where
you'll see a number of downloadable extensions and scripts, one of which is
ShapeTiler.

Hope this helps.

I found that if you give the layers the same name you
can turn them on and off using the name. But its not
the correct way :-) Like this:
 
 
 LAYER
   NAME "rail"
   DATA "Rail/rail_line_t2_polyline"
   STATUS OFF
   Type LINE
   CLASS
     Name "MTR KCR"
     Color 0 0 0
#   END #end of class object
# END #end of layer object
 
 LAYER
   NAME "rail"
   DATA "Rail/rail_line_t3_polyline"
   STATUS OFF
   Type LINE
   CLASS
     Name "MTR KCR"
     Color 0 0 0
   END #end of class object
 END #end of layer object

than in the template file

<input type="checkbox" name="rail" value="rail"
[rail_check]>MTR KCR

Thanks Claude and Frank,

Claude, I found your definitions in a previous mail somewhere in the
OSRS-PROJ mailing list archive. I send a copy to the mapserver mailing list.
Frank, could it be integrated in some future version of PROJ.4 ?

I use these definition for French NTF Projection and it is totally ok
(for me at least). I use them together with IGN scan25 map (2.5m /pixel)
oter data comming in wgs84 or in UTM32N (wgs84) and everything overlaps
good in mapserver. I made some little tests and I can say that the error
is at least better than 2.5 meter for sure, but it seem to be under 1m
most of the time.

Here are the definitions I use (I hacked the epsg file as following), if
it can help:

Or, put *all* your data in the database, attribute and spatial together.

As long as all layers have the same projection & coord. system, 
is it OK if layers have different extents? I have a bunch of 
layers and some differ by their extent by a degree or two. I see 
that EXTENT can only be defined at the level of MAP.

I made a mistake on that layer definition in my previous mail.  Where it
says "\My_Path\MY_TAB_FILE" it should read "\My_Path\MY_TAB_FILE.TAB".  The
extension does need to be included.

Sorry for the mistake.

Through OGR, Mapinfo Seamless layers are supported.  Why not just use them?

Here's my US Zip layer definition, which is a Mapinfo TAB Seamless layer.

Reddy -

I'm not familiar with the details of MapInfo's "seamless layers" but you can
produce a similar effect using the GROUP statement in MapServer.  You can
assign multiple layers to the same GROUP and then refer to that group by
name as if it were a single layer.

Hi,

In MapInfo there is a concept called the "Seamless Layers" where you can
create a single layer making use of more than one layer. Is there a similar
kind of concept available in MapServer. I don't have much idea about
mapserver as these are my first days with it. 

How do I write the code in .MAP file to tell the Server that these bunch of
section make one layer.

Any suggestions, ideas, help??

Thanks a lot.

Hello Greg,
Remove one of the gcc from the makefile. Like this.


Here is the makefile that it is generating:

Subject: [mapserver-users] help with dynamic layer
Message-ID: <3D403C44.4070205@nacse.org>

Hi,

I'm trying to create a dynamic point layer using PHP Mapscript.  A 
simple query to a Postgres database returns the UTM coordinates.  That 
part works fine.  What isn't working is the rendering of the layer.  I 
read through the various "dynamic layer" posts in the archives, but 
still couldn't figure it out.  This is my first Mapscript attempt :-) 
I'm sure it's a simple error (or errors) on my part.

The PHP code, map file, and error messages are below.  Any tips would be 
great.  Thanks!

Use the group key word.

EX

LAYER
  NAME "rail_1"
  GROUP "rail"
  ...
END

LAYER
  NAME "rail_2"
  GROUP "rail"
  ...
END

Now you can refer to an individual layer or a group of layers.

Message-ID: <3DFF131E4E6D2D4198CDD758F35A5353010ABC2A@postoffice.GASAI.Com>

I see that there was a recent release of PHP in response to a vulnerability
with POST in PHP 4.20 and 4.21 - Has anyone tried the 4.21 dlls from
DMSolutions with 4.22?

http://www.php.net/release_4_2_2.php
http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/022002.html

The front page at php.net says that "...the new 4.2.2 release doesn't
include other changes, so upgrading from 4.2.1 is safe and painless." So,
I'm not sure if the 4.2.1 dlls will work, sounds like they might... but it
would be nice to know before I start installing....

TIA

Hi There,

 Usually dll's produced with one version of pho will not work with other php
versions. The module number (that is used to check compatibility in php when
loading an extarnal module like php/mapscript) changes between each version.
That was the case until now for every release, so I would assume the same thing
between these 2 last releases.

I will be putting a new dll for 4.2.2 in the next week or so on the download
site.

Hi All,

We've recently added some EPSG codes to our c:\proj\nad\epsg library,
and are wondering whether php_mapscript_35.dll reads from there or not;
we're using a stock mapscript dll from DM Solutions, and are wondering
if we need to recompile the dll.

Long story short, does PHP mapscript read from  c:\proj\nad\epsg, or
does it have everything compiled in php_proj.dll?

Cheers,

Mark

Hi Chip,

FYI the e-matters advisory seemed to say that this vulnerability can
hardly be exploited on windoze, we still take this issue seriously and
will upgrade the dlls, but that's why this was less of a priority for
us:

 "On the IA32 architecture (aka. x86) it is not possible to control 
  what will end up in the uninitialised struct because of the stack
  layout. All possible code paths leave illegal addresses within the
  struct and PHP will crash when it tries to free them. "

There are two possible locations where PROJ will look for the epsg file
on Windows, either C:\proj\epsg, or C:\proj\nad\epsg... it depends on
the version of PROJ that was compiled and I'm not sure which one the 3.5
dll was using.  If one didn't work then try the other.

You're using a PHP installed from RPM's, right? if yes, you need to
install the php-devel RPM.

Hi Folks,
      I apologise for the cross-posting.  I mostly lurk on these lists, due
to my novice status with both pieces of software.  But I happen to sit on
the program planning committee for the 2003 North Carolina GIS conference
( Late Feb. Winston-Salem, NC, USA ) and I'm looking for folks to talk
about :

      1) Postgis

      2) University of Minnesota Mapserver

      3) What they are doing with it (business, government, non-profit,
etc)

      I am looking to fill at least two slots in the program, one with
mapserver and one with postgis.
If you are interested, please email me directly.

There is no default target to build it in the main MapServer Makefile,
so after your php_mapscript.so build is done you'll have to do this:

  cd mapscript/php3/
  make php_proj.so

Dear all,

This is jee-seong Chung, a new mapserver user.
Curretly I'm trying to build a simple web gis for the community.
Mostly this system will be using data from servers owned by the state and 
I'm wondering whether the mapserver supports WMS server and client 
applications.
According to the documentation it supports WMS but when I tried to launch
the links in tutorial chapter 5; sample1 and sample2, they gave
me an error message like this
"msDrawWMSLayer(): WMS connection error. WMS CLIENT CONNECTION support is 
not available."
Please let me know whether mapserver spport WMS or not.

Thanks,
Jee-seong Chung

Daniel, here is some more info. There is only one file I've found 
that causes this behavior. It's supposed to be a Mapinfo .TAB 
file & it IS supposed to have point geometry in it. However, 
ogrinfo insists on opening it with the ESRI Shapefile driver! The 
shapefile output from ogrinfo is:

# ogrinfo Eslocs.TAB Eslocs | more
INFO: Open of `Eslocs.TAB'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: Eslocs
Geometry: None
Feature Count: 83
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)
NAME: String (40.0)
ID: Integer (11.0)
ADDRESS: String (40.0)
PHONE: String (10.0)
MAPADD: String (40.0)
...

Let me know if you want a copy of these files Eslocs.*. Now I'm 
going to try opening it in Mapinfo Pro and seeing if it thinks 
it's a TAB file or something else.

Thanks,

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem with truetype labelling in php mapscript
Message-ID: <f0207261117240060@brc21.co.za>

Hi,

I experienced a problem in displaying truetype labels under php 
mapscript 3.5 and was advised to upgrade to 3.6.1. We have now 
upgraded but are experiencing the same problem. By changing the 
labels to bitmaps the system works perfectly so we have narrowed 
the problem down to the Freetype compilation.

We are experiencing difficulties in installing the older freetype
libraries on the server (as described in
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptRH72):

.. edit Makefile to compile with Freetype1... Mapscript seems to 
have problem loading fonts when using gd compiled with Freetype2 
on RH7.x ...

Our current server configuration is as follows:

Linux version 2.4.9-31
Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)
Apache/1.3.19 (Unix)
PHP/4.2.1  and PHP/4.0.6 (used by Ensim)
freetype-2.0.1-4
gd-1.8.3-7

Installing the older gd and freetype1 libraries is causing 
dependencies problems with our existing PHP installation (not only 
PHP 4.2.1, but also PHP 4.0.6 which is being used by the Ensim 
control panel).

I've also found the following:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/phpmapscript-install-howto.html

Q: Why can't both PHP and MapScript be compiled with Freetype 
support?

A: You cannot have Freetype enabled in both PHP and MapServer 
because of a conflict with the gdttf.c and gdcache.c files that are 
included in both PHP and MapServer but are not identical. We may 
try to fix that conflict in the future, but in the meantime, one of PHP 
or MapServer has to be compiled using --without-ttf. This is 
especially important with PHP4 because it includes TTF support by 
default.

This brings us back to the fact that Mapscript/Mapserver does not 
seem to be simple to install when it is used in conjunction with 
PHP 4.x on a Linux server.

So it seems that Mapscript does not work with Freetype2, is this 
correct? Any advice on what I can do to enable Truetype labelling?

Many thanks
Dylan

Hi,
I have changed my application from mapserver version 3.5 to 3.6.1. Now I
get a box around my symbols in the legend (old style). For example, I
have defined in a class red dots with black border:
CLASS
    ...
    SYMBOL circle
    COLOR 255 51 0      # red
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0  # black border
END
The keyword OUTLINECOLOR draws now an additional black box around this
symbol in the legend. Does anybody know how I can get rid of this
rectangle?

Regards,
Andreas

Hi List,

I get the following error

Warning: MapServer Error in msPOSTGISLayerWhichShapes(): prep_DB:Error
executing POSTGIS DECLARE statement (0.6 failed - retried 0.5 and it
failed too).

when I try and retrieve data from a temporary PostgreSQL table using
PostGIS (i.e. in the mapfile: DATA "geometry from temp_table").

I'm using MapServer version 3.5 (with INPUT=POSTGIS) with PostGIS 0.7
and PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96.

This is exactly the same error that is returned when I try and
retrieve data from a view. Are the two errors related and how would I
go about solving them? I think a patch I read about would enable me to
implement a workaround
(http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2002-May/001014.html)
but where can I get it from?

To those in the know, thanks in advance for any help!

Homme Zwaagstra.

Hi List,

I get the following error

Warning: MapServer Error in msPOSTGISLayerWhichShapes(): prep_DB:Error
executing POSTGIS DECLARE statement (0.6 failed - retried 0.5 and it
failed too).

when I try and retrieve data from a temporary PostgreSQL table using
PostGIS (i.e. in the mapfile: DATA "geometry from temp_table").

I'm using MapServer version 3.5 (with INPUT=POSTGIS) with PostGIS 0.7
and PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96.

This is exactly the same error that is returned when I try and
retrieve data from a view. Are the two errors related and how would I
go about solving them? I think a patch I read about would enable me to
implement a workaround
(
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2002-May/001014.html
)
but where can I get it from?

To those in the know, thanks in advance for any help!

Homme Zwaagstra.

Mapserver most definitely supports both client and server implementation of
WMS!
Of course, support for it needs to be included in the mapserver executable
that you are using.  The "support is not available" message you received
leads me to believe that you have a binary that does NOT have support
compiled into it.
Let us know what platform you are using and somebody will be able to give
you some direction to binaries or source code that will give you the
ultimate flexibility.  Sounds like an interesting project, keep in touch on
your progress and feel free to drop further questions around WMS.

Dear all,

This is jee-seong Chung, a new mapserver user.
Curretly I'm trying to build a simple web gis for the community.
Mostly this system will be using data from servers owned by the state and
I'm wondering whether the mapserver supports WMS server and client
applications.
According to the documentation it supports WMS but when I tried to launch
the links in tutorial chapter 5; sample1 and sample2, they gave
me an error message like this
"msDrawWMSLayer(): WMS connection error. WMS CLIENT CONNECTION support is
not available."
Please let me know whether mapserver spport WMS or not.

Thanks,
Jee-seong Chung

I think there may be a couple of things missing.
I don't see where the "data" value is set for the layer & I don't see
where the addPoint is being done to add the point(s) to the data shapefile
before rendering the layer.

Dylan,

Try something like this:

// MapObj and ImageObj settings
$map_path="/www/gis/mapfiles/";
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path."test.map");
$img = $map->draw();

$layer = $map->getLayerByName("sites2");
$layer->set('status', MS_ON);
for ($i=0; $i<$rows; ++$i) {
     $row = pg_fetch_row($result, $i);
     // echo "Record $i: UTM_E $row[0], UTM_N $row[1]<br>";
     $pt = ms_newPointObj();
     $pt->setXY($row[0],$row[1]);
     $pt->draw($map, $layer, $img, 0, "TEST");
 }

$img_url=$img->saveWebImage(MS_PNG,1,1,0);

When you are using this style of adding objects to the map 
dynamically you have to draw the map first THEN add you dynamic data 
on top of the already rendered map.

This method has the problem that if you have a high density of 
objects to add to the map it can obscure the underlining map. You 
also might want to set LABELCACHE FALSE for the layer.

Subject: Fwd: [mapserver-users] strange mapinfo layer
Message-ID: <69711C06-A0B9-11D6-853E-0030653DEAA0@arc.to>

Another update in this OGR problem. When I use MapInfo Pro to 
open this Eslocs.TAB file, it opens it and renders it OK, with 
points. It thinks it's mapinfo TAB format. If I use Mapinfo 
translator to convert the table to Shapefile, I get 
EsLocs_point.shp and ogrinfo correctly reports that this file has 
point geometry in it, using the Shapefile driver.

Summary: something in this Eslocs.TAB file makes OGR think it's a 
Shapefile, not a Mapinfo file. And it loses the point geometry in 
the process.

Begin forwarded message:

I can access all the other tables fine, including the geometry
metadata tables. The problem lies in temporary tables and
views. Mapserver seems to need something that these objects don't have
(OIDS, perhaps?).

Subject: [mapserver-users] cutom EPSG db for Canada problem
Message-ID: <3D418902.E4C2DDC2@geoarctic.com>

Hi All,

We current add some epsg codes (got from DM Solutions) for Canada and
North American into the epsg db located in c:\proj\epsg and
C:\proj\nad\epsg, for example:

# WGS84 / Ortho NorthAm
<42201> +proj=ortho +lat_0=45.0 +long_0=-100.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0.0
+ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m no_defs <>

Our MapScript and MapServer are 3.6 runing on Win2000. We wondering why
some points work, some don't. For example:

convert EPSG:4326 => EPSG:42201:
input (-128, 32)  => (4262324.1145246,4744679.5950324)
input (-128, 31)  => nothing

Is there some restraints for the input points (bounding box)?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Subject: [mapserver-users] GDAL and gdaladdo
Message-ID: <614FCE5F14A6D41180C200010240D6A2C0C9F5@LINNMS>



Dear Mr. Warmerdam and List,

I use the 'out-of-the-box' Mapserver Win32 binary.  I've never compiled
MapServer myself.
I recently downloaded the binary with GDAL support.  I want to generate
overviews of my tiffs with gdaladdo but I haven't the foggiest idea of how
to do that.
The MapserverWiki has this:


warmerda at gdal[430]% gdaladdo
 Usage: gdaladdo [-r {nearest,average,average_mp,average_magphase,mode}]
                filename levels
 Example:
  % gdaladdo -r average abc.tif 2 4 8 16



What is this?  What language is this?  Where is this gdalladdo?  Why is it
that as soon as I think I get a handle on things, I realize how little I
know?

Thanks!  That did the trick.

One more question...It seems like the other way to add a dynamic layer 
is to actually generate a new shapefile (and dbf file) from the database 
query resultset, add it to a map object, and draw it.  Is one method 
more robust than the other?  Any reason to not do it the way I'm doing 
it, other than the "obscuring" problem you mentioned?

I think the shapefile-generation method is what Lowell was hinting at. 
In that case, you would need DATA defined for that layer in your map 
file (right?)

Thanks,
Dylan

what could be happend?

Thanks.

There is any way to recenter a maps  after pan

Hello all!

I 'm using mapsever  and  I'm having the following problem.

I had created a submit button to back to the where the original  map is  
after mapsever execute a query.
This is the code:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Back">
    </th>
  </tr>
</table>
  <input type="hidden" name="map" value="[map]">
  <input type="hidden" name="savequery" value="true">
  <input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" value=2>
</form>

But when it happens all the layers are reset.
And i want to back and keep all selected layers.

Can i do it?

Thanks
Jo?o.

This is probably a problem because there is no true OID in the temporary
table you're using.

Use the latest CVS version of mapserver, and :

DATA "geometry from (select * from temporary_table) as foo using unique
<unique> using SRID=<srid>"

Where <unique> is the name of a column in temporary_table that uniquely
identifies a row, and <srid> is the SRID of your data.

Using the CVS version will also give you more error information if this
doesnt work.

dave
ps. 
If you do a "select * from temporary_table limit 5" you'll see
geometries described like 'SRID=#;<geometry data>'.  This '#' is the
SRID of your data.

Message-ID: <9D07D10FA5CAD21192620008C7B14D2903075AFB@ISDEXCH-1>

Hi,

The documentation and win bindaries I have worked with are hosted at
http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/

The GDAL utilities descriptions are at
http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/gdal_utilities.html

I am not sure how gdaladdo works with TIFF files, however I think it stores
the overview files internally to the input image from browsing the
documentation.

I have used GDAL quite a bit to convert images, for example to convert from
GeoTIFF to JPEG format and keep the coordinates with the output JPEG and it
works great, example: 

C:\gdal115a\bin>gdal_translate -of GTiff -co "QUALITY=n" 1n2e.tif 1n2e.jpg

Hope this was of some help, -matt

Don't the tables and views all have to be listed in the geometry_columns
table?  Perhaps I'm getting mixed up with something else though :)

I can access all the other tables fine, including the geometry
metadata tables. The problem lies in temporary tables and
views. Mapserver seems to need something that these objects don't have
(OIDS, perhaps?).

Hi Adam,
Don't worry, it's not rocket science :)
You'll need the win32 GDAL files from
ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/gdal/gdal-115a-ntbin.zip
(Frank, is there an updated version available anywhere?)
It will include the gdaladdo application, among others.
To get Mapserver working with the libraries I'm not sure if you have to
make the libgdal.dll available in your path or not.  I tend to just through
my dll's into the cgi-bin path but that's just me :)

One pointer - if you build overviews and find the colours funny at certain
scales, experiment with using "-r nearest" instead of "-r average" and it
may produce better results.

Tyler

Message-ID: <4D25CDA67110D3119FFB0008C707D7A706DDD3@deathstar>

MapServer users - 
Some of you may be interested in a project we have been working on in
cooperation with the FGDC and OGC called ROMap.  We have developed a
prototype application in java on top of Mapserver which in effect allows
users to run Mapserver as a desktop application for data viewing as well as
an OGC compliant, peer-to-peer live GIS data sharing application. Right now
it supports shape files, but can be set up to serve raster data as well.  

The application lets Mapserver run without Apache so installation is very
simple and resource requirements are minimal.  The other neat thing about
the app is that you don't need a static IP and a web server to serve large
GIS datasets.  You can do it using over a 56k dial-up.  These are reasons
the approach makes sense in general and for the developing world in
particular.  In fact we will be demonstrating the application as part of the
OGC GISD-ICP project to demonstrate interoperable GIS data sharing for
Africa at the United Nations Earth Summit in South Africa this summer.

We have the latest version on the romap site - please check it out
http://romap.net and give us your feedback.  There are still many rough
edges on this app. Be easy on us - application and documentation are
developing - our budget for this has been very limited.

Yes, the overviews are internal to the tiff files.

Hi,

The documentation and win bindaries I have worked with are hosted at
http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/

The GDAL utilities descriptions are at
http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/gdal_utilities.html

I am not sure how gdaladdo works with TIFF files, however I think it stores
the overview files internally to the input image from browsing the
documentation.

I have used GDAL quite a bit to convert images, for example to convert from
GeoTIFF to JPEG format and keep the coordinates with the output JPEG and it
works great, example:

C:\gdal115a\bin>gdal_translate -of GTiff -co "QUALITY=n" 1n2e.tif 1n2e.jpg

Hope this was of some help, -matt

Dear Mr. Warmerdam and List,

I use the 'out-of-the-box' Mapserver Win32 binary.  I've never compiled
MapServer myself. I recently downloaded the binary with GDAL support.  I
want to generate overviews of my tiffs with gdaladdo but I haven't the
foggiest idea of how to do that. The MapserverWiki has this:


warmerda at gdal[430]% gdaladdo
 Usage: gdaladdo [-r {nearest,average,average_mp,average_magphase,mode}]
                filename levels
 Example:
  % gdaladdo -r average abc.tif 2 4 8 16



What is this?  What language is this?  Where is this gdalladdo?  Why is it
that as soon as I think I get a handle on things, I realize how little I
know?

Subject: [mapserver-users] question on tutorial
Message-ID: <3D413718.2050106@lafn.org>

I have been working with the tutorial and have stripped the itasca 
demo.map file
to a single layer ctybdpy2 which shows just the state outline.

I have also compiled shapelib-1.2.9 and found that shpinfo doesn't work,
it is necessary to download from remotesensing.org the 1.3 source version
of the file; with that I have been able to get the extent for California
from the national atlas site.

Now using dbfdump from the same library I have been looking at ctybdpy2
and I can see CLASSITEM cty_name and CLASS EXPRESSION Itasca
but when I try to change to any other city name the map comes up blank.


This is prelude to switching to the california map expecting to provide the
minimum demo.map file for a single layer display.  I have also noticed
that commenting out CLASSITEM, CLASS is not valid.

Thanks for any help.

Message-ID: <3D43DA9B.2000500@atlas.gis.univie.ac.at>

Hi,

I've just finished my Mapserver-Setup using the following components:

SuSE Linux v.8.0 (Kernel 2.4.18-4GB)
PostgreSQL v.7.2.1
PostGIS v.0.7

freetype 1.3
gd-1.8.4 (patched version with GIF support)
proj-4.4.5
gdal-1.1.7
w3c-libwww-5.4.0
libgeotiff-1.1.4

PHP v.4.2.1
UMN Mapserver v.3.6
 gmap-ms36

$ mapserv -v  gives me the following output:

MapServer version 3.6.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT 
INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL 
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Itasca demo works without problems!!!

but GMAP demo doesn't produce any GIF's in my /tmp/ms_tmp directory!!!

The source code of the HTML output file looks perfect until the PHP 
statement  <?php GMApDrawMap() ?>

I checked the mailinglist entries concerning this problem, and also 
checked the permissions of the /tmp/ms_tmp dirs. BTW, the Itasca-demop 
writes its file into there, so the permissions should be OK.

Any suggestions on this?

How can I (quick) test if the php_mapscript.so I compiled is working 
properly ?

I tried to enable logging by _not_ commenting the resp. line in the 
mapfile, but nothing gets logged ? How do I log Mapserver actions??

Thanks you

alex

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapfile dtd proposal
Message-ID: <20020728153011.12159.qmail@web12904.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi,
As I have to deal with big mapfiles on my server, I
wanted to push forward the migration to xml, which
will  simplify things, I think.

Here's my proposal joined, with a quite not complete
example. I inspired myself from some posts before.
A few points of discussion:
first, the order of elements is important in dtd, so
if someone find a better ordering, it would be good. I
simply copied from the doc and mapfile.c.
Then, I did not pay attention on the requirement of
the  elements: they are mostly all optional. It is
still needed to specify which elements are required
(change XX? to XX).
Finally, there is the question of attributes vs
elements. So if some of you have good arguments, let's
send your changes.

The dtd has some drawbacks, such as the unability to
constraints the element content. That's why you'll see
some lines likes this.
<units type="meter"/> instead of <units>meter</units>.

Cheers,

Ricky

For me, it would be very much better to user xsd rather than dtd.

Yes, I also considered the schema alternative.
But actually, the only opensource xml schema
implementation, using c/c++ I know is xerces c++ from
the jakarta project (someone knows another?).

The problem is that it adds a c++ dependency on
mapserver, which goes against portability. 
The question is then xsv power whith c++ requirement,
or the simple dtd, with the tiny libxml dependency ..

Subject: [mapserver-users] gdal-h missing during compile of mapserver
Message-ID: <01ed01c236ab$1d628aa0$97f90044@ri.cox.net>

Greetings,

I am trying to build gdal into my first mapserver compilation. I have
installed the gdal binary on my redhat 7.3 pc with the install.sh script,
verified the path and done ldconfig. I configure it with the path
appropriately set and during the make I get the message

In file included from mapraster.c:2:
mapresample.h:44:20: gdal.h: No such file or directory
mapraster.c:25:18: gdal.h: No such file or directory.

Indeed, there is no such file present, having been omitted from the binary
tar. The missing header file is included in the src tar distributrion,
however. Does this mean that I need to compile gdal from the src rather than
simply install the linux binary? If so is there a follow-on instruction as
to where to install the files, I could find none in the tar or on the site
and the install.sh that comes with the src distribution appears to not have
been configured at all. Assuming everything goes where the binary install.sh
script puts them for the binary distribution, where would I put the gdal.h
file? Instead of recompiling it all can I just copy over the needed files?

Thanks,
Don Holeman

You were right! By unchecking the 'Pop.Places', everything works fine. 
The problem really seems to be the TrueType stuff ;-(

I played around a bit and came up with the following problem:

I want to build Mapserver with GD and freetype 1.3 (!!) support, because 
of the known problems with freetype 2.0.

To be absolutely sure, I removed all Freetype 2.0 stuff from my system 
using YAST2 at SuSE 8.0 ( I hope, it does this job well)
I built and installed freetype 1.3 and GD from source:

./doit-gd:

make clean
rm config.cache
./configure --enable-freetype --enable-jpeg

the output:

According to the MapServer Unix HOWTO, I should not get DUSE_GD_FT but

Subject: [mapserver-users] Display GeoTIFF raster data
Message-ID: <3D453790.3070400@gmx.net>

Hi NG,

after spending some days on trying to display a GeoTiff image in 
mapserver I ask for your advice.
Compared to the example used in the tutorial ( 
http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/tutorial35/s2/s2ex3.html ) image 
dataset is more complex.
It includes the following values for each pixel:

################
Scrn: R:146 G:103 B:50
Projection: GEOTIFF (Transverse Mercator)
Map: 267457.50E,197788.50N Meters
LL : 3.548576N, 1.228218W
Data: R:136 G:102 B:68
###############

How do I display this image in mapserver?
Do I need to rewrite header information of the source image or is it 
just a question of "How to display it in mapserver"?
Is there some additional documentation / reference available?

Thanks for suggestions.

Regards,
Stefan

Don,

The binary GDAL distribution you are using for GDAL (is this a Freegis RPM?)
is not intended for development, and so does not include the include files.
You will need to build and install GDAL from source.  The "make install" target
should take care of installing everything in the right place, by default the
/usr/local tree with /usr/local/include used for include files.

If installing into a different location than the binary distribution you
should likely carefully remove the previous binary installation before
installing from source to avoid problems with two versions.

Note that it might be possible to use the include file from the source dist
with the binary dist if you are only using the GDAL support (which uses C
linkage) but if you are using the OGR support as well please don't do this.
The C++ interfaces are very sensitive to minor differences in the include
files and you might have all sorts of problems.

Best regards,

Thanks for the tip. It looks like an upgrade to 3.6 is the way
forward, as I also tried Tyler's suggestion of updating the
geometry_columns table with the relevant metadata with no luck. Whilst
on the topic of upgrades, is there an ETA for 3.7? I might just wait :)

Chuanyun Fei,

I believe the problem you are encountering is that the +long_0=-100 flag is
being ignored because there is no such flag.  Use +lon_0=-100.  Without this
change you are 100 degrees further away from the region of validity for this
projection than you think causing a numeric problems.

This is also hinted at by the very large X values (nearly 5 million meters)
you are getting.

It seems that the DM Solutions special coordinate systems need a fix.

DATA should not need defined directly in the mapfile but rather via mapscript once the value of DATA is actually known. The mapfile could contain a place-holder for the layer but that is not required either as it can all be done directly from within mapscript.

Assuming that the problem is that the image does not display when you add a layer to the mapfile for the image:
Does the extents of the image match the extents specified in the mapfile?
If not then is there a projection defined in the mapfile & if so is it different than the images projection with a different projection defined for the layer containing the image?
If the image has a different projection than the map does 'mapserv -v' show gdal & proj support?

Message-ID: <BEFFC1D00334D511BC0F009027D614F441C09E@www.geo.wvu.edu>

Hi, I'm pretty new to Mapserver and PHP Mapscript (although I'm an old hand
at PHP).  I can't seem to get any of my queries to work correctly.  What I'm
trying to do is do a simple query on a point, but all I get back is an error
message that says "No records found".  Here's my snipet of code:

            $XGeoMin = $map->extent->minx;
            $XGeoMax = $map->extent->maxx;
            $geox = Pix2Geo($my_point->x, 0, 500, $XGeoMin, $XGeoMax, 0);

            $YGeoMin = $map->extent->miny;
            $YGeoMax = $map->extent->maxy;
            $geoy = Pix2Geo($my_point->y, 0, 500, $YGeoMin, $YGeoMax, 1);
            $clickpt = ms_newpointObj();
            $clickpt->setXY($geox,$geoy);
            $temp = $map->queryByPoint($clickpt, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);

On an vaguely related note, I'm also trying to draw a point on the middle of
a polygon on my map once a search has been done.  In otherwords, I have a
shape file that has a bunch of buildings on it.  If they click on the
building I want the application to do a search for the building on which
they clicked (the query part of my question).  However if they do a search
using my pull down menus with all the buildings listed by name, I want the
map to be updated to feature a red dot somewhere in the building polygon.
Here's my snipet of code of this:

            $XGeoMin = $map->extent->minx;
            $XGeoMax = $map->extent->maxx;
            $geox = Pix2Geo($my_point->x, 0, 500, $XGeoMin, $XGeoMax, 0);

            $YGeoMin = $map->extent->miny;
            $YGeoMax = $map->extent->maxy;
            $geoy = Pix2Geo($my_point->y, 0, 500, $YGeoMin, $YGeoMax, 1);
            $clickpt = ms_newpointObj();
            $clickpt->setXY($geox,$geoy);
            $layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
            $layer = $map->getLayerByName("WVU Buildings");
            $temp = $clickpt->draw($map, $layer, $image, 0, "This is a test
string");
            $image = $map->draw();

            $image_url=$image->saveWebImage(MS_GIF,1,1,0);

I can get the image, but there's no point on the image and the "This is a
test string" label isn't anywhere on the map.

Any help anyone can give me on either of these two issues would be greatly
appreciated.

Are you using an RGB image?  If you are, you'll need to convert it into
a bitmap (indexed color) image.  MapServer doesn't yet support RGB
images.  Hopefully, your software can export GeoTIFFs.  If not, you'll
have to create a world file (with extension .wld).  See Tom Kralidis'
info about world files: http://www.kralidis.ca/gis/worldfile.htm
Remember to use the extension ".wld" and not ".tfw".

Most image manipulation software (i.e. Gimp or Photoshop) can convert
RGB GeoTIFFs to bitmap but can't keep the GeoTIFF header.  If you use
one of these software, you'll need to create a world file to add
georeferencing to your image.  If you have an image processing software
(i.e.: Imagine, Geomatica) you can export your bitmap image in GeoTIFF
format and you won't need a world file.

Of course you should also check your projections and extents...  If
you're trying to overlay your image with the tutorial data, it won't
happen.  If you're trying to overlay a Transverse Mercator (or UTM)
projected image with unprojected (with lat/lon coordinates) vector data,
it won't happen...  unless you already know how to reproject your data
on the fly (that's section 4 on the tutorial).

I hope this helps.

Hi NG,

after spending some days on trying to display a GeoTiff image in 
mapserver I ask for your advice.
Compared to the example used in the tutorial ( 
http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/tutorial35/s2/s2ex3.html ) image 
dataset is more complex.
It includes the following values for each pixel:

How do I display this image in mapserver?
Do I need to rewrite header information of the source image or is it 
just a question of "How to display it in mapserver"?
Is there some additional documentation / reference available?

Thanks for suggestions.

Frank - 

My initial hunch on both of your problems is that your 'Pix2Geo' function
has got some kind of problem with it and isn't returning a valid
coordinate... or at least isn't returning the *correct* coordinate. Have you
checked this? This would certainly explain why your code would be executing
w/out errors, but not giving you the results you expect.

You might want to forward your function back to the list for us to look at.

Stefan...

In addition to Perry's comments, you can always use some of the libgeotiff
tools to help you manipulate your geotiff:

http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/geotiff.html

You can use the 'listgeo' program to generate an ESRI style world file, as
well as to dump the contents of the geotiff into the standard geotiff
metadata format. You can then, as Perry suggested, use your favorite Image
manipulator to convert from RGB to indexed color, then go back and use the
'geotifcp' program to convert the resulting tiff into a geotif.

The results would be the same, you just wouldn't have to worry about
maintaining a separate file. Also, if your original RGB geotiff has metadata
information in addition to that covered by the standard ESRI style world
file, it would be incorporated into your final Index-color geotiff as well.

Cheers!

Chip

Frank -

First off, the gMap demo (I assume that's where you got that) is a great
place to start w/ PHP Mapscript. I would try to verify that you are giving
it the right coordinates. Somehow passing 0 in doesn't seem right to me. It
just doesn't make much sense... but I don't use that function so I don't
know. Anyway, a quick way to figure out if that's the problem is to use
another program (arcview, mapinfo, grass, whatever) to look at what the
coordinates are of the point you are clicking on, then see what the function
is returning for comparison.

I do my conversion a little differently... the code looks a little hairy by
comparison. Probably could be re-written to look a lot nicer. Reflects the
genesis of my learning. End of disclaimers.


  //$Last_Extent: an array (x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max) of 
  //              geographic coordinates that was collected 
  //              into form variables at the last submit. This 
  //              way I am sure that I have the geographic 
  //              coordinates that bound the image *that the user 
  //              clicked on* not an image that was generated later.
  //
  //$ll_coord:    an array (x, y) of pixel coordinates on the image.
  //
  //$map:         the map object

  $ImgWidth = $map->width;
  $ImgHeight = $map->height;
  $x = (($ll_coord[0] / $ImgWidth) * ($Last_Extent[2] - $Last_Extent[0])) +
$Last_Extent[0];
  $y = $Last_Extent[3] - (($ll_coord[1] / $ImgHeight) * ($Last_Extent[3] -
$Last_Extent[1]));

  $click_pt = ms_newPointObj();
  $click_pt->setXY($x, $y);

... you can probably take it from there. You can use the click_pt object
that is created in the query.

FWIW, I found it a very useful learning excercise to kind of re-write what
these various gMap functions were doing in my own (albeit maybe not as
elegant) style.

HTH...

test string" label isn't anywhere on the map.

Any help anyone can give me on either of these two issues would be greatly
appreciated.

Subject: [mapserver-users] New versions of LandView...
Message-ID: <sd456f87.027@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Hi Folks: I've got a couple of new versions of LandView to the point
where they may be of interest. I wanted to make it easier to develop
apps around the applet named "mapplet". However, since LiveConnect is
not as widely supported as it should be (argh!) I've also spent time
developing a DHTML version. The goal is to make it real easy to have
either a Java or a DHTML interface. I'm getting real close and am
interested in finding folks that would like to collaborate on something
like this. What's cool about the DHTML version is that it combines a
relatively positioned layers (i.e. anchor) with an absolutely positioned
layer so you can be very flexible in design. You can plop the map in a
table or whatever. No more frames or designs that limit what you can
place to the left or above the image. The DHTML version works with IE 6+
(I don't have 5 laying around), Netscape 6.2+ (dunno about earlier
versions) and Mozilla 1+. The old mapplet applet has been tweaked (and
renamed jbox.java) to match the interface for the DHTML code (dbox.js)
so you can do most of the same stuff with either with the same code.
Please see:

Is that a "page not found" error from your web server,
or an "msLoadMap(): unable to access file" error from Mapserver?

If the former, it's a typo in the URL.

If the latter, "mymap.map" needs to be the path to the mapfile
from the mapserver program if they are in different directories.

For instance, if you have:
/var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv
/var/www/maps/mymap.map

You would need ?map=../maps/mymap.map or ?map=/var/www/maps/mymap.map

Hope that helps.

You will want to have hidden <input> tags to repeat all of the environment 
variables used by the query page, with these three exceptions:

Set mode to "browse" or simply don't set it (browse is the default)
Make img.x half the width of your image
Make img.y half the width of your image

Dear all

Being a newbie I'd like to understand Mapservers architecture:

a) Import it to GDAL/OGR, or
b) Load it into PostgreSQL ?

2. Did anybody implement the Mapfile-syntax in XML as (direct)

Big thanks to Tyler Mitchell, Matthew Krusemark and especially Frank

And in another, unrelated tid-bit...


I can set map_scalebar_status to 'on' or 'off' using CGI, but not to
'embed'.  I get:

getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. (embed):(242)


Weird.  Anyone else get this?

1. There must be enough vector formats to go around why make more.
Shapefiles seem to be the quickest because
of the native support if you can live with the limitations of xbase
files. XML as a file format would kill performance...

2. Not that I'm aware of, although it's sure been discussed a bunch.
XML ain't enough, you need a schema to be of
any use. A DTD won't do it.

Hello,

Just tried both versions, the DHTML works very nicely, but the Java one
crashed the browser, the window just closed after the applet finished
loading.

Hence the DHTML version. If I download a brand new version of the
Microsoft Virtual Machine and tell IE not to use the Sun JVM (advanced
options) then all is well for me. Actually both versions work quite
nicely in IE 6.0. Thanks for confirmation though...

Actually, 42201 is not part of the EPSG file that we distribute with our
applications and that we made available for download at  
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/proj4-epsg-with-42xxx.zip

Our file contains only special codes 42101, 42102, and 42304, so 42201
must have been added by someone else.

If this file with a broken EPSG:42201 definition really came from us
then can you please point us to it so that we can fix it?

Thanks,

Daniel

I ran into this as well on a Solaris/GCC 3.1 system a little while ago
but don't remember if I found a solution.  For sure the problem seemed
related to gcc version 3.1 (gcc 2.9x used to work fine on the same
machine) and the way it deals with C++ files (mapogr.cpp in this case).

If any gcc expert out there knows what gcc 3.1 is missing to be happy in
the MapServer build process and knows a solution then please let me know
as I would be interested in fixing this but don't really have time to
investigate myself.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hummm... you're correct that we would expect to see -DUSE_GD_TTF for
freetype 1.3, that's odd... I checked on one of our servers and I get
the same -DUSE_GD_FT as you with freetype1.3 and my truetype fonts work
well, so I would suggest that you continue with your build... it's
probably going to work.

Dylan,

My experience is that when I compile my own GD with freetype2 then it
doesn't seem to work well, you get errors about being unable to load
fonts if they use a relative filename I think, hence the note that you
saw on the Wiki page.  If you use the GD that came preinstalled with
RedHat then you may have more luck... I think the RH7.1 version of GD
uses freetype2 and worked well with MapServer, so I suggest that you try
that first.

About the FAQ on the gdttf.c conflict, it dates from the pre-3.5 days
and doesn't apply any more since MapServer now uses the native TTF
support in the GD library... this obsolete FAQ should be taken out of
the phpmapscript-install-howto document.

HTH,

Daniel

Yes, layers can, and most of the time will have different extents and
that's OK as long as they are all in the same projection (unless you
provide PROJECTION definitions as well)... the map extents is there to
define the initial extents of the map when your application starts.

Greetings,

I've gotten my first mapserver build to compile to completion on redhat 7.3
using

./configure --without-pdf --with-jpeg --with-gd --with-gdal --with-postgis -
-with-zlib --with-freetype --with-png --without-tiff --with-proj --with-wmsc
lient --with-ogr --with-php=/usr/local/php4/include/php

It tests fine until I load it to the web server. At that point it is
desiring the shared library file "libgd.so.1.8: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory"

Does this mean that the share libraries must be present on the server?

Thanks,
Don Holeman

Tyler,

Unless we overlooked one or two, what you find in the WMS SERVER HOWTO
should be what is currently supported by MapServer.

You mention providing multiple BoundingBox tags in diferent SRS for a
layer, this may be nice to have and is allowed by the WMS spec but is
not currently possible with MapServer.  I don't remember the exact
details, but I think MapServer will try to fetch the extents of a
shapefile by opening it (or use the wms_extent metadata if it's set) to
provide a BoundingBox tag in each layer's default SRS.

If there are specific WMS capabilities tags that are not currently
supported and that you think would be useful to control via the mapfile
then please file a bug about them in bugzilla and we'll try to add them
in a future release.

Yup, the shared libs must be present on the server, and they must be in
your runtime library path.  Are you compiling on one machine and
uploading the executable to another server?  If you do that then you
should make sure that both systems have identical configurations, this
will be especially important for your php_mapscript.so as well.

To find out which libaries are required by your executable, use
  ldd mapserv
or 
  ldd php_mapscript.so

HTH,

Daniel

Freetype configuration seems screwed up to me. If you have 2.0 and 1.3
on the same box it's difficult to compile against 1.3 even if you try
and force it. I finally gave up with 1.3 on my Linux box (RH 7.0) and am
developing against 2.0. Might you have multiple versions of Freetype
installed? Just an idea.

I think we should consider changing the behavior in configure...

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to edit a shp file not using an esri product.  
I have a file containing 950,000 Canadian postal codes and I want to 
extract the British Columbia postal codes.  There are many attributes that 
seperate BC postal codes from the rest of the country.  I want to split up 
the postal code file to decrease the amount of time to display the 
postal codes.

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP MapObj serialization?
Message-ID: <20020730054446.GA3157@landsat.cprsig.cl>

Hello, 

	I'm trying to serialize a PHP MapObj for further use (another
	page from the same session).

	From what I've read, this will not work if you don't have the
	definition of the class in all the pages the object will be
	used.

	I also presume that dl'ing the .so is not what is meant by
	definition of the class. Is serializing and/or saving in a
	session variable the mapobj possible?

	Ex:

	p1.php
	<?php
	dl('php_mapscript.so');
	session_start();
	$map = ms_newMapObj("file.map");
	$map->draw();

	$_SESSION['map'] = $map; 
	/* or
	$_SESSION['map'] = serialize($map);
	*/

	?>

	p2.php
	<?php
	dl('php_mapscript.so');
	session_start();
	$map = $_SESSION['map'];
	/* or
	$map = unserialize($_SESSION['map']);
	*/

	?>

	As I understood from the docs the serialization is not needed when
	using $_SESSION.

	If i serialize/unserialize, i get the long forgotten:

	Fatal error: Object has an invalid _handle_ property in ...

	If i don't serialize/unserialize, i get the same error. :)
	
	Is there a trick to make PHP see the MapObj definition?

Thanks,

Dear mapserver users,

I'm trying to display the direction of lines in mapserver.
A previous posting on the list suggested that this could
be achieved using truetype symbols and gave an
example.
However, the example doesn't work for me.
The truetype symbols don't show up.
I'm using mapserver 3.6, compiled with truetype support (I'm able to use
arabic labels).

Is it worthwile to check out the CVS version?
Are there other possibilities to display arrows on lines?

Steffen Macke

Hello,

I've seen some uses of mapserver where the current map co-ordinates are displayed (usually in text input boxes) as the cursor moves over the map. Anyone know how this is done and is there a way of doing it that does not involve php?

Also, I'm using the rosa applet. Is there a way of displaying the distance measured by the ruler tool on the html page rather that in the bottom corner of the browser? Can the ruler tool be modified so that you can draw polygons on the map rather than measure distance? 

Thanks

Hi all,
I'm making a query to de map file using the cgi paramenters, the URL is:

http://213.172.37.190/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=c:/Cartografia/mapa/spain.map&
mode=itemnquery&qlayer=buspobqr&name=Sitges

I'm trying to find Sitges and it find it, but, How can I made it to found
for example all the names that start in Sit?, the layer in the map file is
defined like:

  layer
    name "buspobqr"
    data "medianas"
    status ON
    type query
    filteritem "NOMBRE"
    filter "%name%"
    class
      template "buspobs.xml"
    end

and the template is:

<nombre>[NOMBRE]</nombre>
<mapa>[img]</mapa>

Thanks in advance.

I can quickly see two possibilities:
1) Create an index on the shapefile and things may speed up to an
acceptable pace.
2) Because your selecting on items a quick mapscript program could open
the existing dbf & shp, select all the matching records from the dbf,
create a new dbf & shp, loop through each selected record and associated
shape, & create a record and shape in the new dbf and shp.

Vinko,

The main reason why you cannot serialize a MapObj in PHP is that it is
just a set of wrappers on top of MapServer's internal C structures, and
hte PHP serialization functions cannot do anything about them... so you
get "invalid handle" errors from the serialized object because the
internal C structures don't exist any more.

In the current version, the only way to save the state of a mapObj is to
use $map->save($temp_filename), store the $temp_filename in your
$_SESSION, and load the saved mapfile on further requests.

I don't think serializing mapObj will ever be possible given the nature
of MapScript, but maybe some tricks can be implemented eventually to
save the mapfile to a session variable, or even have support for
persistent mapObj... but that's very far in our priority list.

It is not possible to serialize a map object in this way.  We needed to 
do this for MapLab, so we added a feature to the MapScript 3.6.1 branch 
to allow a map file to be loaded from one directory but to make all the 
internal references relative to another directory.

If you are using MapScript 3.6.1 or later, you should be able to use 
this new feature.  A simple test would be to write a short script:

<?
dl( "php_mapscript.so" );
$map = ms_newMapObj( "/path/to/mapfile/mapfile.map", "/path/to/mapfile" );
?>

if it doesn't complain then you are using a new enough version.  Now you 
can save the map object to a temporary location and save the temporary 
name in the session.  You also need to store the directory name that the 
original map file came from.

$_SESSION['map_directory'] = "/path/to/map/file";
$_SESSION['temp_map'] = "/tmp/12345678.map";

then when you load the next page and decide to restore this map object,

$map = ms_newMapObj( $_SESSION['temp_map'], $_SESSION['map_directory'] );

Well, the only reason why JPEG is rarely used is because it doesn't
support transparency and hence doesn't allow you to combine multiple WMS
layers in a single maps.

Except for that transparency issue there should be no reason why JPEG
couldn't work. If you have a way to reproduce this crash systematically
then please create a bug in bugzilla about this with your mapserver, os,
etc, version information, your mapfile (or at least the layer defn that
crashes), and steps to reproduce the problem.

Daniel,

sorry, but no, my build does _not_ work, unless I comment the 'Label'  
sections in the Gmap map file or I uncheck the 'Pop.Places' layer, which 
uses TTF!!!

Some more general questions, before I start it all over again on a clean 
system. I work on my private notebook, so setting up the whole thing 
again is no big deal!

Does 'SUPPORTS=TTF' in the 'mapserv -v' output:

MapServer version 3.6.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT 
INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL 
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

of my CGI mean that my mapserver executable supports Freetype 1? As I 
understood, TTF refers to  Freetype1 whereas FT ~ Freetype2 in all 
Makefiles etc. of the GD, PHP and Mapserver builds and configures. Is 
that correct? Does otherwise Freetype2 support show up with something 
like 'SUPPORT=FT' or 'SUPPORT=FREETYPE' ?

Can anyone on the list report on a successful build of mapserver 3.6.1 
on SuSE 8.0 with any GD/Freetype support?

What about using GD 2 or the newest mapserver nighly built. Should this 
change things?

Regards,
alex

Vinko,

You can not serialize the map object as it is not a php object be a 
containor for a C structure. What you would have to do is save the 
currect map object as a mapfile in a temp directory using a unique 
file name and save the file name in the session variables, then 
restore the map object from the map file you saved.

If you are adventurous, you could get openev 
(http://openev.sourceforge.net) and write a simple python script to 
process your shapefile

sample python script:

import gview

shapes_in = gview.GvShapes( shapefilename="/path/to/my/shapefile" )
shapes_out = gview.GvShapes()

#assuming you want the same schema
shapes_out.set_properties( shapes_in.get_properties() )

for shape in shapes_in:
    props = shape.get_properties()
    #this would test against the first character
    if props['postalcode'][:1] == 'V':
        shapes_out.append( shape.copy() )

shapes_out.save_as( "/path/to/new/shapefile" )

If you are interested but aren't a python programmer, I could probably 
help you with this as long as you can get openev installed.

Yup. In maplexer.l line 220, change embed's type from an OBJECT_STRING

latest win32 binary.

Seamus,

In fact, if all you want to do is select some of the records from a shapefile
based on attributes, you could try using the ogr2ogr utility from GDAL/OGR.
It includes the ability to select records to copy based on an SQL WHERE like
syntax.

eg.

ogr2ogr -select "post_address like '%British Columbia%'" bc.shp all.shp

Of course, Paul's OpenEV/python solution is even more flexible than ogr2ogr
on its own.  Ogr2ogr is part of the GDAL/OGR suite.

You can use Frank's shapelib tools and roll your own: 
http://gdal.velocet.ca/projects/shapelib/

and especially:
http://gdal.velocet.ca/projects/shapelib/dbf_api.html

Since the data you want to access is probably going to be in the DBF file.

It may also be possible to pull the DBF data file into Microsoft Access 
and edit it there, but Access's DBF export capabilities suck. I find it 
easier to export from Access to a delimited text file and use dbfcreate 
on that.

However you edit it, you want to make sure that you don't sort or 
otherwise change the row order of the dbf file since the row order is how 
it maintains a link between the DBF and the shape data.

Just tried both versions, the DHTML works very nicely, but the Java one

You mentioned wms_extent, that may be all I need, but I wasn't even
familiar with that.  So I just checked out
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/wms-server-howto.html again and now see
that there is a long list of metadata parameters listed at the end!  Man, I
didn't see that! Duh.  I guess I was so intent on searching for bbox
parameters that never actually read the WHOLE document.  I'll try them out
and let you know if I find others.

Tyler,

Unless we overlooked one or two, what you find in the WMS SERVER HOWTO
should be what is currently supported by MapServer.

You mention providing multiple BoundingBox tags in diferent SRS for a
layer, this may be nice to have and is allowed by the WMS spec but is
not currently possible with MapServer.  I don't remember the exact
details, but I think MapServer will try to fetch the extents of a
shapefile by opening it (or use the wms_extent metadata if it's set) to
provide a BoundingBox tag in each layer's default SRS.

If there are specific WMS capabilities tags that are not currently
supported and that you think would be useful to control via the mapfile
then please file a bug about them in bugzilla and we'll try to add them
in a future release.

Thanks for your help - I do appreciate it.

I tried your ideas and it still doesn't seem to work.  I verified in ArcView
3.2 the points on which I'm clicking and they're right in the middle of the
polygon.  I tried your function (modified to use my variable names), but
it's still telling me no results were found.  Here's my code:

$map->setextent($extent_to_set[0],$extent_to_set[1],$extent_to_set[2],$exten
t_to_set[3]);
$my_point = ms_newpointObj();
$tmpx = $HTTP_GET_VARS["themap_x"];
$tmpy = $HTTP_GET_VARS["themap_y"];
$my_point->setXY($tmpx,$tmpy);
$xmin = $map->extent->minx;
$ymin = $map->extent->miny;
$xmax = $map->extent->maxx;
$ymax = $map->extent->maxy;

$x = (($my_point->x / $map->width) * ($xmax - $xmin)) + $xmin;
$y = $ymax - (($my_point->x / $map->height) * ($ymax - $ymin));
$clickpt = ms_newPointObj();
$clickpt->setXY($x, $y);
print "<h1>xmin = $xmin<br>xmax = $xmax<br>ymin = $ymin<br>ymax =
$ymax<br>my_point->x = $my_point->x<br>my_point->y = $my_point->y<br>x =
$x<br>y = $y<br>clickpt->x = $clickpt->x<br>clickpt->y = $clickpt->y</h1>";
$temp = $map->queryByPoint($clickpt, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);


Here's the error message I'm getting in return:

Warning: MapServer Error in msQueryByPoint(): No matching record(s) found.
in c:\website\html\mapserver\test\test.php on line 224


Anyone got any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?  I know there's a polygon at
the point on which I'm searching.  It's contained in a layer called "WVU
Buildings".  What I'm ACTUALLY looking for is the name of the building on
which they click.  I'll then take that name and do a search on a seperate
database to pull up a bunch of information about the building and display it
in a seperate area apart from the map.

Frank -

First off, the gMap demo (I assume that's where you got that) is a great
place to start w/ PHP Mapscript. I would try to verify that you are giving
it the right coordinates. Somehow passing 0 in doesn't seem right to me. It
just doesn't make much sense... but I don't use that function so I don't
know. Anyway, a quick way to figure out if that's the problem is to use
another program (arcview, mapinfo, grass, whatever) to look at what the
coordinates are of the point you are clicking on, then see what the function
is returning for comparison.

I do my conversion a little differently... the code looks a little hairy by
comparison. Probably could be re-written to look a lot nicer. Reflects the
genesis of my learning. End of disclaimers.


  //$Last_Extent: an array (x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max) of 
  //              geographic coordinates that was collected 
  //              into form variables at the last submit. This 
  //              way I am sure that I have the geographic 
  //              coordinates that bound the image *that the user 
  //              clicked on* not an image that was generated later.
  //
  //$ll_coord:    an array (x, y) of pixel coordinates on the image.
  //
  //$map:         the map object

  $ImgWidth = $map->width;
  $ImgHeight = $map->height;
  $x = (($ll_coord[0] / $ImgWidth) * ($Last_Extent[2] - $Last_Extent[0])) +
$Last_Extent[0];
  $y = $Last_Extent[3] - (($ll_coord[1] / $ImgHeight) * ($Last_Extent[3] -
$Last_Extent[1]));

  $click_pt = ms_newPointObj();
  $click_pt->setXY($x, $y);

... you can probably take it from there. You can use the click_pt object
that is created in the query.

FWIW, I found it a very useful learning excercise to kind of re-write what
these various gMap functions were doing in my own (albeit maybe not as
elegant) style.

HTH...

The function is one I took from the DM Solutions Group advanced example.  I
just renamed it.  I haven't verified the function, but I sorta assumed
(yeah, I know what happens to you and me) it worked properly.

function Pix2Geo($nPixPos, $dfPixMin, $dfPixMax, $dfGeoMin, $dfGeoMax,
$nInversePix){
    
    $dfWidthGeo = $dfGeoMax - $dfGeoMin;
    $dfWidthPix = $dfPixMax - $dfPixMin;
   
    
    $dfPixToGeo = $dfWidthGeo / $dfWidthPix;

    if (!$nInversePix)
        $dfDeltaPix = $nPixPos - $dfPixMin;
    else
        $dfDeltaPix = $dfPixMax - $nPixPos;

    $dfDeltaGeo = $dfDeltaPix * $dfPixToGeo;


    $dfPosGeo = $dfGeoMin + $dfDeltaGeo;

    return ($dfPosGeo);

Frank - 

My initial hunch on both of your problems is that your 'Pix2Geo' function
has got some kind of problem with it and isn't returning a valid
coordinate... or at least isn't returning the *correct* coordinate. Have you
checked this? This would certainly explain why your code would be executing
w/out errors, but not giving you the results you expect.

You might want to forward your function back to the list for us to look at.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Questions about PHP Mapscript and Queries


Hi, I'm pretty new to Mapserver and PHP Mapscript (although I'm an old hand
at PHP).  I can't seem to get any of my queries to work correctly.  What I'm
trying to do is do a simple query on a point, but all I get back is an error
message that says "No records found".  Here's my snipet of code:

            $XGeoMin = $map->extent->minx;
            $XGeoMax = $map->extent->maxx;
            $geox = Pix2Geo($my_point->x, 0, 500, $XGeoMin, $XGeoMax, 0);

            $YGeoMin = $map->extent->miny;
            $YGeoMax = $map->extent->maxy;
            $geoy = Pix2Geo($my_point->y, 0, 500, $YGeoMin, $YGeoMax, 1);
            $clickpt = ms_newpointObj();
            $clickpt->setXY($geox,$geoy);
            $temp = $map->queryByPoint($clickpt, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);

On an vaguely related note, I'm also trying to draw a point on the middle of
a polygon on my map once a search has been done.  In otherwords, I have a
shape file that has a bunch of buildings on it.  If they click on the
building I want the application to do a search for the building on which
they clicked (the query part of my question).  However if they do a search
using my pull down menus with all the buildings listed by name, I want the
map to be updated to feature a red dot somewhere in the building polygon.
Here's my snipet of code of this:

            $XGeoMin = $map->extent->minx;
            $XGeoMax = $map->extent->maxx;
            $geox = Pix2Geo($my_point->x, 0, 500, $XGeoMin, $XGeoMax, 0);

            $YGeoMin = $map->extent->miny;
            $YGeoMax = $map->extent->maxy;
            $geoy = Pix2Geo($my_point->y, 0, 500, $YGeoMin, $YGeoMax, 1);
            $clickpt = ms_newpointObj();
            $clickpt->setXY($geox,$geoy);
            $layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
            $layer = $map->getLayerByName("WVU Buildings");
            $temp = $clickpt->draw($map, $layer, $image, 0, "This is a test
string");
            $image = $map->draw();

            $image_url=$image->saveWebImage(MS_GIF,1,1,0);

I can get the image, but there's no point on the image and the "This is a
test string" label isn't anywhere on the map.

Any help anyone can give me on either of these two issues would be greatly
appreciated.

If for some reson you can't get OpenEV working there is also 
pyshapelib which I find quite handy

I hadn't heard of indexing shape files before, so I did a little googling 
and in the process found a doc which explains the makeup of shapefiles 
better than I did in a prior post:
http://www.uiowa.edu/~osa/gisatosa/howto/filetypes.html

I've also seen .prj files (projection) and .shp.xml (XML formatted 
metadata about your shapefile), which aren't mentioned on this page.

I don't think mapserver has support for sbn/sbx/ain/aih files, although I 
would love to be corrected.

Frank...

I guess I was trying to logically "weed out" where the problem might lie.
Your check in AV pretty much rules out a problem with the conversion from
pixel to geo. I'd go back to your original function, and look at something
else.

The next place I'd look is your mapfile, and the syntax around your
queryByPoint.

Mine looks something like this:

    @$map->queryByPoint($click_pt, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);
    $Layer = $map->GetLayerByName($lyr);
    $count_results = $Layer->getNumResults();

    //$lyr would be the NAME specified in the mapfile.

The layer definition for a layer I was querying would look like this:

Layer
  NAME FIBEROPTIC <-- THIS is the name you specify above
  Type Line
  STATUS ON
  MAXSCALE 15000
  TOLERANCE 10
  TOLERANCEUNITS feet
  DATA "fiber_new"
  METADATA <-- THE 'METADATA' section is crucial if you want to retrieve
some data
    "DESCRIPTION"   "FIBER_INFO"
    "RESULT_FIELDS" "ID MH1 MH2 HYPERLINK"
  END
  CLASSITEM 'ID'
    CLASS
      NAME 'selected'
      TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html" <-- THIS line is critical
      EXPRESSION ' '
      SYMBOL 'solid_line'
      SIZE 2
      COLOR 255 0 0
    END
    CLASS
      NAME 'existing'
      TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html" <-- THIS line is critical
      EXPRESSION /./
      SYMBOL 'solid_line'
      SIZE 2
      COLOR 0 255 0
    END
END

Do you have a markerset defined? I believe to embed the scalebar requires
it.

Anwar,

You should be able to follow the instructions in the OGR Howto to add dgn files
to your mapfile (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/ogr-howto.html).  

Also, the doc is currently incorrect in the STYLEITEM AUTO section
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/ogr-howto.html#binary).  Styleitem Auto
allows you to use the colours and styles already embedded in dgn and mapinfo tab
files.  The doc should say that specifying a CLASSITEM is optional.  I have
updated the doc and committed it in CVS so the changes should be visible soon. 
Here is an example of how to use STYLEITEM AUTO for a dgn file:

  LAYER
    NAME "test_dgn"
    STATUS ON
    TYPE POLYGON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "../data/dgn/test.dgn"
    # This enables use of colors and styles from the source file.
    STYLEITEM "AUTO"
    # Define an empty class that will be filled at runtime from the color and
    # styles read on each shape in the source file.
    CLASS
    END
  END  # layer


Hope this helps.

Jeff

MapServer does not support the proprietary ESRI index formats. It does
however support it's own
quadtree-based index. See the shptree utility for more information.

You just need to use a different type of FILTER expression. A regular
expression would do nicely. You could do something
like FILTER /$%name%/ which would match all records starting with value
contained in the name parameter.

Message-ID: <13858AA1A74F30419F319ACB66A9D1220193D2@mercator.topozone.com>

Folks -

OK - I'm missing something very obvious here, but I can't get URL-defined point features added to a feature layer dynamically.  Here's my very simple map file:

NAME Blue
STATUS ON
SYMBOLSET "/MapServer/MapServer/Symbols/symbols.sym"
UNITS DD
IMAGECOLOR 0 153 204

### Annotation Layer ###

LAYER
  NAME ANNOLAYER
  TYPE POINT
  STATUS DEFAULT
  CLASS
    NAME ANNOLAYER
    COLOR 0 0 0
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
    SYMBOL 'tent'
    SIZE 100
  END
END

END

And I would expect this URL:

http://cassini/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&map=\MapServer\maps\blue.map&mapext=10+10+30+30&mapsize=400+400&map_annolayer_feature=new&map_annolayer_feature_points=20+20

to display a big black tent symbol in the middle of the image.  It does nothing.  If I insert the feature into the LAYER definition:

  FEATURE
    POINTS
      20 20
    END
  END

It works just fine.  What am I missing?

(START->settings->control panel->scheduled tasks in win2k) to execute a

del C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp\*.GIF

All I can tell is that this issue has come up before and the documentation
states that a markerset is required. Being that markerset has been
replaced by symbolset I think this means that a symbolset needs defined.

In the directory where mapserver was compiled you should see a shptree
executable that will create the indexes needed/used by mapserver.

Message-ID: <3DFF131E4E6D2D4198CDD758F35A5353010ABC46@postoffice.GASAI.Com>

I want to create a mapfile where the labels "scale" the way they would in a
CAD environment. That is, the size of the labels relative to the size of the
vector elements is constant.

For example, if I have a line that is 50 ground units, I might have a string
of text annotating the line that is 25% of it's length. I want that text to
remain at 25% of the length of the line, regardless of what scale I'm
viewing the image at.

I'm familiar (somewhat) with SYMBOLSCALE and MAXSIZE / MINSIZE, but I must
be experiencing synapse collapse as I can't seem to make it do what I want
it to do. Does anyone have an example?

In the directory where mapserver was compiled you should see a shptree
executable that will create the indexes needed/used by mapserver.

Hey Mapserver user!
I'd like to get a sense of a couple things about the environment you are
using Mapserver in.

Could you tell me:
a) what operating system you are running
b) what processor (brand and speed) you are running
c) how much memory you have (on the computer that is)

If you've experimented with some odd arrangements tell me that too.
You can write me privately and I'll summarize the results for the list.

Sidnei -

I assume you mean that you want the polygons to have NO outline, correct?  Don't use the OUTLINECOLOR statement at all - just don't specify an outline color, and you won't get one.

You need to compile it as CGI. DSO will give you problems.

It looks like you are going this as documented or at least as I would

3.6. So while it might be obvious to some, it isn't obvious to me 
either!

Thanks, Steve.  I forgot to mention I was doing this with 3.6.1, but I've since tried with 3.5 and 3.6 as well with the same (non-)results.

Subject: [mapserver-users] double fclose makes mapserver segfault
Message-ID: <20020730201853.54711.qmail@web12907.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi,

Whenever I had a non existant image referenced in a
symbol files, mapserver segfaults. 
Investigating a little closer reveals that this is
caused by a fclose after the file is closed:

in  msLoadSymbolSet (mapsymbol.c) , we can see a
flclose(msyyin) at the end of the
function: the stream is closed in all cases. 
But in there is an error in loadSymbol, the stream is
closed. 
After, it will be closed again in msLoadSymbolSet, and
it segfaults.

For the solution, either it is up to the caller to
close the stream on
error, or the caller should not close it if an error
is
returned. Perhaps the first solution is more
orthogonal, but as
msLoadSymbolSet is not the only caller of loadSymbol
(also
loadMapInternal) a generic solution is needed.

Cheers

Ricky

Message-ID: <20020730202501.24151.qmail@web12903.mail.yahoo.com>

Hi all,
A few days ago, I posted a dtd proposal for the next
generation xml mapfiles.
There was less reply I expected about it.
But before going on, I think it would be a good thing
if people could decide on the way to go for xml.
That is, should mapserver use libxml, with a dtd, or
should it use xml schemas, which are more powerful,
but which require a more complex library, such as
xerces c++.
This is an important question, because when the old
format will be dropped, everybody who want mapserver
will have to get the apporpiate xml library.

This mail is perhaps adressed more specifically to the
main developers (i.e. main deciders ? ;)

Regards

Ricky

Subject: [mapserver-users] classitem and class values affect display of map?
Message-ID: <3D46240B.9060003@lafn.org>

I have been working with the itasca demo trying to learn mapserver and gis.

I have simplified the demo.map file to a single layer which displays just
a  colored in state outline.  The layer is ctybdpy2.

I would have guessed that I could change the class value to another city 
but when
I do that the map does not display.  Going back to itasca work fine.

Perhaps a pointer to why this occurs , I would be glad to read any
further documentation or pickup a recommended book that would
explain what is going on here.

Ricky,

I think that what you propose should be optional at the build level 
and NOT a total replacement for the existing mapfile. This allows the 
most flexibility for the various user requirements. Some of us might 
not want to deal with xml, or have to manage the additional 
requirements. On the other hand some people may want to. 

We have lots of optional code (at the build level) in mapserver today 
and making xml mapfile optional should fit into that same 
arrangement. 

After all, file format should not dictate what the internal 
structures look like and vica versa. 

I think one key consideration to any library choice has to be whether 
or not it is thread-safe. Other than that, the decision should be 
based on comparing the requirements to the various libraries, and 
picking the simplest solution that meets our requirements. If we have 
not defined the requirements adequately then we are liable to pick a 
more complex or feature rich solution to provide us with more options 
in the future at the cost of more complexity, overhead, and maintence 
costs on a daily basis.

Just my $.02,
   -Steve Woodbridge

Here is an alternative with a similar bent...

save all the variables that create any given map into a hash. Then serialize
the hash and store it in a cookie (if small enough) or in a database such as
MySQL. Later retrieve the serialized hash, unserialize it, and reconstruct
the map.

I use the above technique and it works quite well.

It is likely that you are having a probalem with extents. This is a 
common problem for people just starting with mapserver. The itasca 
demo has the extents od the map defined in the mapfile, if you change 
the shape file to another one that has different extents but have not 
changed the extents and possibly the UNITS for the mapfile to 
coinside with the new shape file then mapserver will just display the 
old extents and since you new shape file does not overlay those 
extents it will not show anything, but a blank image.

It does appear that libxml intends to support XML schema.  So maybe that
would provide the best path for the future?

Do you really intend the mapserv.exe to validate the xml against the dtd on
every invocation?  If not, why not use libxml for parsing the xml, and some
other tool to validate against XML schema (BTW, I would also prefer XML
schema over DTD).

Well, the live copy of the GMap PHP demo on www2.dmsolutions.ca has been
running on a P120, 128 MB RAM, RH 6.x for quite a while when we started
using MapServer... and we were proud to claim that the performance was
excellent!  But we retired this old server around a year ago... now it's
acting as a DNS server... what a boring retirement for a machine that
gave over 10 years of loyal and exciting service! ;)

Thanks Daniel - I knew that absolete hardware was your secret to success :)
It's those types of low-end configurations that I am most interested in
since I've got a bunch of old boxes at home I'd like to put to
use...somehow.  It'd be neat to have some benchmark tools for comparing
performance on different platforms.
I've got to add your retired machine to the list though, just so new users
can be encouraged to use their old machines too.

Thanks

Dear Stephen,

Agreed, there are some around: we use actually such a XML format nationwide for
which we have strong arguments, while quite some arguments speak against
shapefiles: the latter are open published but still proprietary (remark: isn't
using them in Mapserver somehow inconsistent with open source?) and xbase is a
bottleneck, etc..

Aren't we the "parents" who can define ourselves what is "native" to Mapserver?

That's true: because of this we put on top of the above mentioned XML-format a
data description language which is compatible to XML-Schema and UML. That's
another reason why we want to use this XML format for Mapserver input.

So, what I still want to evaluate is, if a sequential (binary) file object
stream to Mapserver (perhaps via OGR as zipped XML) is faster and more flexible
in querying than a comparable (possibly indexed) object stream from PostgreSQL?

Subject: [mapserver-users] classitem and class expression in itasca demo
Message-ID: <3D473EB7.5000601@lafn.org>

I have been working with the itasca demo trying to learn mapserver and gis.

I have simplified the demo.map  file to a single layer which displays the
state in outline.  The layer is ctybdpy2 and I have used the existing 
extents
from the demo.map file.  I have also compiled shapelib and verified the
extents from the file ctybdpy2 using shpinfo..

The classitem is  cty_name and the class expression is  Itasca.  Using 
dbfdump
I can see the column headers and the cty_name column has many other cities
in other rows.

I would have guessed that I could change the class expresssion value to 
another
city but when I do that the map does not display.  Going back to
cty_name Itasca works  fine. I  have been able to substitute another column
for the same city , forgot what the column name is but it is a short form of
the city name and the class expression ITAS works.  But again  changing
to any other city doesnt work.

Also I have noted that the dbfdump shows multiple rows with the same 
city name,
so thinking that could be part of the problem I have tried to use a city 
with
a unique row but it makes no difference.

The actual reason for all this is that I have downloaded a shapefile map of
California and verified its extents using once again shpinfo.  Also I 
have looked
at the the dbfdump information and tried substituting a column  field  
classitem and class expression from the dbfdump info and the calif. map
into the demo.map file but it gives the same results.  Map doesnt display.

Sorry for the repeat questions here but this has stopped me cold.

Ed,

I think you forgot to switch on the layer in the URL by
layer=annolyer. So you have to change the URL to 
http://cassini/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&map=\MapServer\maps\blue.map&mapext=10+10+30+30&mapsize=400+400&map_annolayer_feature=new&map_annolayer_feature_points=20+20&layer=annolayer

I hope that helps.

Do you use SuSE and if so, did you remove some packages with YAST2 
before starting your builds?

Hi...

I am building an app. that needs to check if a given point (coming from a mysql db) is located inside any of some restricted zones (polygons form mapinfo)????

Is there any way to do this with mapserver????
I use CGI only. 

Thanks

Silke -

Thanks, but that doesn't help.  The layer is set to STATUS DEFAULT in
the map file, so it should be on all the time anyway.  And adding the
"layer=annolayer" in the URL doesn't fix it.  Thanks for looking into it
- I'm still puzzled.

Ed,

I think you forgot to switch on the layer in the URL by layer=annolyer.
So you have to change the URL to 
http://cassini/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&map=\MapServer\maps\blue.map
&mapext=10+10+30+30&mapsize=400+400&map_annolayer_feature=new&map_annola
yer_feature_points=20+20&layer=annolayer

I hope that helps.

Sorry, Ed, but it still does not work as we expected.

We are trying to migrate from MapObjects to MapServer as it seems to be a great option!

We managed to transfer almost all our application but we are facing a problem (probably with outiline of the polygons).

Could anyone give a look at

                 http://sinbiota.cria.org.br/demo

to check what we are talking about?

Any ideas would be very appreciated!!!

Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

First thanks for all your sugestions!

I created 3 subset image from my dataset [unsing ENVI]:
1)  .BMP with an additional world file [.wld]
2) .TIF 8bit grey with an additional world file [.wld]
3) .PNG

Unfortunately all files didn't work out (appeared in mapserver).
So I guess the error is in my mapfile, which looks pretty equal to
the tutorial one  [in my eyes ;-)]. 

##################### myfile.map #####################
NAME URGENT
EXTENT 266341.5 191854.5  267340.5 192853.5
#grid is ordonance survey GB
SIZE 300 300
SHAPEPATH "/home/.../data"


LAYER # Raster
  NAME "casi"
  DATA "subset_1000_1000_white.tif"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
END#layer end

END # end of map file
########################################################

I inserted each file (.tif, .png, .bmp) and none was displayed.

What do I miss out?

Thanks and Regards,
Stefan

Now an important question:

Anyone of you know the correct procedure to
import/export Grass native vector in the ENRI/SHAPE
files format which is directly supported by mapserver?

Thanks

Note: I know that this is not a question strictly on
mapserver but i need help because the GRASS return me
always segmentation fault when i try to attent a
conversion from native vector files to ENRI/SHAPE.

The GIS Data I've are all in GRASS native vector
format.

Bye bye.

Sidnei,

This looks more like there is a filter on mapobjects that is filter 
out very small polygons because there are clearly MORE polygons on 
mapserver NOT just bigger polygons. Try adding MINSIZE n to your 
CLASS where n = number of pixels, like 1,2,3,4, or 5 and see if you 
can get them to match up better.

Is that you're entire mapfile? If so, you seem to be missing some critical
pieces:

First off, you need a WEB segment that tells Mapserver where to put the
images... so something like:

WEB
  TEMPLATE my_template.html
  IMAGEPATH "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp\"
  IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
END

I don't think this is necessary, but it's a good idea to specify the
mapunits in your header section:

UNITS meters

Once this is in place, you should see *something* appear in your /tmp (or
whatever name you set up) directory when MapServer executes. Your image may
not render for some other reason... but at least you should be seeing a
blank PNG or GIF or JPEG or whatever flavor of image you specify show up in
that directory. My hunch is that is NOT happening now.

As I understand this version of mapserver should support proj etc.

Hi Sylvain,

i think you have to use $layer->open() explicitly before using getshape() and when
finished $layer->close()

from the php/mapscript docs:
---
layerObj
    ...
    int open(string shapepath)
         Open the layer for use with getShape().
         Returns MS_SUCCESS/MS_FAILURE
    ...

    void close()
         Close layer previously opened with open().
---

Cheers, Michael

Hi,

So far I create the images 'on fly' and call them in a source tag of a 
html file:

####

<img border="1" 
src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/userdirk/public_html/URGENT/subset.map&amp;mode=map">

I'm wondering if the fact that your defining 2 projections: 1 with the

Your images are strikingly like some of the image pairs I have seen when 
comparing classification methods or criteria. Can you be certain that 
the two programs are selecting the exact same set of objects??  This 
seems to be something other than a visualization problem.  (ref:

Thanks for the quick reply.... Actually I have the EPSG line commented out in my mapfile....
I do however have EPSG codes in my layers....

For example:
layer
 NAME "Zoner"
 TYPE polygon
 STATUS default
 connectiontype ogr
 connection "data/tab/Positive_30-07-2002_21_50.TAB"
 class
  symbol "skrav"
  color 255 0 0
  size 3
  outlinecolor 255 0 0
  name "3 km. zoner"
 end
 projection 
  "init=EPSG:32632"
 END
end

As far as I have understood I'm supposed to tell mapserver what projection each layer is????

Anders,

You might want to file a bug in bugzilla.  MapServer shouldn't be crashing.
But I imagine things will work better if you don't use both the "init=EPSG:23032"
*and* a full definition of the projection.  The init= mechanism should
generally be done instead of providing all the parameters.

PS. the init= is case sensitive on unix, so if you want your mapfile to be
portable beyond windows use "init=epsg:23032".

PPS. I tried recreating a crash with a mapfile that had a similar projection
definition to yours but was unable.  If you file a bug make sure you include
sufficient (but minimal) information to reproduce your bug.

Best regards,

If layers match the output projection then you don't have to define
those layers' projection since they are assumed to be the same.

Message-ID: <sd47c3fd.048@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

You can use a point query against the mapinfo data using the normal
query or nquery modes. One thing to be aware of it that MapServer's
point in polygon routine works fine if the point in question is strictly
in/out of the polygon. It's indeterminate if the point is exactly on the
edge.

Hi...

I am building an app. that needs to check if a given point (coming from

Is there any way to do this with mapserver????

Hi,

I am testing the Windows Binary Download ms36gif_wms.zip, and get the message:

msSDELayerOpen(): General error message. SDE support is not available.

Is there a Windows compiled version with SDE support available?

I have ArcSDE running on the following 2 platforms:
   ArcSDE 8.1.2 on Windows NT
   ArcSDE 8.1 on Solaris

thanks

Stefan -

Things look pretty good - this might be a problem based on where you're getting raster support from.  Is your mapserver compiled with GDAL or not?  Run mapserv -v and post the output - thanks.

I haven't had this particular problem at all, but with a couple of my
windows setups I have found that restarting my web server sometimes helps.

Hello again...

I'm having trouble with the projection object....
Below is what I have in my map file, but mapserver crashes everytime i try
to access the map???

projection
"init=EPSG:23032"
"proj=utm"
"ellps=intl"
"zone=32"
"north"
"no_defs"
END

As I understand this version of mapserver should support proj etc.

X:\Programmer\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin>mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.6.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=P
ROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=POSTG
IS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Anybody got any ideas?????

/ Anders

Hi Ed,

No, it's not compiled with GDAL. The tutorial .tif file 
[shdrlfi020g_ugl.tif]  works fine, so I didn't expect any trouble from 
the compilation issue.

Stefan -

I believe the standard TIFF support doesn't cover 8-bit grayscale images.  Try making it an 8-bit palettized color image, and make sure it's saved as uncompressed or PackBits-compressed.

 Hello All,

           I am  working on microstaion DGN files using mapserver. I got
success to display on my browser. Now i want to display the attribute values
of the DGN files.              

   Can you please give me idea how to access the attribute values from DGNs.

 I am using Mpaserver version 3.6.

E:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin>mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.6.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=P
ROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=POSTG

I think what is really happening is that MapServer is drawing the
polygons always with outline.

If I specify "outlinecolor -1 -1 -1" or don't specify outlinecolor at
all, it draws the outline with the same color used to fill the polygon.

We tested the same layer on ArcView and if we ask ArcView to use
outlinecolor = fill color, the result is the same as MapServer. If we
ask ArcView not to use outline, the result is equal to MapObjects.

Any new ideas on this? Please!

  You could test your hypothesis by changing the 'C" code in mapprimitive.c

  FROM

  void msImageScanline(gdImagePtr im, int x1, int x2, int y, int c)

Subject: [mapserver-users] advice needed: where to start getting layers reprojected?
Message-ID: <2E93F0E8-A4CA-11D6-BA07-0030653DEAA0@arc.to>

This is very much a newbie question. I know very little about 
projections. I don't really know how to read the headers of the 
ogrinfo output. I have printed out the OpenGIS Well Known Text 
spec. and intend to read it. However, I am wondering if someone 
could give me some suggestions for how to get these layers 
rendered on the same output. Thanks in advance.

The first layer looks like this from ogrinfo:
Layer name: HS
Geometry: Polygon
Feature Count: 16
Extent: (-107.204084, 34.578215) - (-105.393824, 36.002420)
Layer SRS WKT:
GEOGCS["unnamed",
     DATUM["MIF 0",
         SPHEROID["WGS 84 (MAPINFO Datum 0)",6378137.01,298.257223563],
         TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0]],
     PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
     UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]]
...

The second layer looks like this from ogrinfo:
Layer name: cityplus
Geometry: Line String
Feature Count: 35277
Extent: (1412844.998580, 1434331.377771) - (1576885.740347,

I fully agree that the freetype config is a mess, but it's not only the
case for MapServer, it is for PHP too at least... it can take 3 or 4
tries sometimes to get PHP to detect freetype properly, and PHP is a
much "bigger" project than MapServer so we would expect it to be much
more solid for those things.  I think it's the cascading dependencies
between an application (MapServer or PHP), and a library (GD) that uses
another library (freetype) that makes all this a huge mess to manage in
configure.  To make things worse, Linux distributions often come with
both freetype 1.3 and 2.0 and place them in odd locations (RedHat at
least does), and this is the source of several problems.  

I added a little while ago the --enable-force-freetype1 configure option
to deal with RedHat systems and ask configure to detect freetype1 in
priority (it will detect freetype 2 in priority by default) and that
helped, but doesn't solve all problems.

Over time there have been changes to the GD/freetype part of configure
that made things work better for some configurations, but caused
problems for other configurations that used to work... so we almost need
someone dedicated to maintaining that part of configure and _that would
be ready to_ deal with all compile issues reported in that area in the
future... any volounteer?

Simply put: That's all the advantages of a system-neutral XML-format which are
well summarized in the OGC presentation of GML. Specifically it's mainly the
*backend* you mentioned; but also this: 

A common well known "more universal" (XML) data structure would give more
possibilities as well as a fair chance to the free market for other GIS. This
will most probably result in more and better functionality of the GIS
supporting Mapserver as well of Mapserver itself. 

Therefore: Why not take GML 3 (zipped and/or indexed)?

Let me explain: 

* I assume that a sequential file object stream (import online 
  via OGR) is faster (unindexed at least for a full zoom) 
  than an object stream from PostgreSQL (import offline 
  via PostgreSQL-Loader). 

* But for data analysis PostgreSQL would be more efficient 
  and of course more flexible than a file object stream.
  So, importing an XML file into PostgeSQL would provide
  both graphic (Mapserver) as well as data anylysis 
  (PostgeSQL) access with the same implementation effort.

That's my short-term performance/flexibility-dilemma!

Subject: [mapserver-users] hoping for more verbose debug messages
Message-ID: <20020731234339.GA26133@extempore.otsys.com>

I am getting errors which do not provide enough info for me to debug.
The specific messages are as follows:

Wed Jul 31 16:25:24 2002 - msAddImageSymbol(): Unable to access file. 
Wed Jul 31 16:25:26 2002 - msSearchDiskTree(): Unable to access file.

It would be nice it the error message indicated the missing file name.
I have not been able to track this one down as my maps all work great.
I am accessing mapserver through the PERL interface.  I did not see any
direct connection in the mapscript.pm to these functions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cordially,
