Subject: [mapserver-users] Newbie questions re shape files and point data
Message-ID: <20020601201954.GC11871@elwell.org.uk>

Hi folks,

I've downloaded mapserver 3.5 and sucessfully got the demo up and
running (after changing to .png) on a debian box.

However I DON'T have a GIS background so am now stuck...

What I'm trying to achieve is a UK coastline map, with boat tracking
positions marked on it. (see http://www.oytscotland.org.uk)

I've managed to get a shapefile for the UK from esri's website,but it
looks "squashed" - Is this because I haven't set extents?

I have a mysql database of lat / lon (WGS84) positions for the boat
since the start of the season. I assume these will be plotted as points?

If so, how do I create a layer containing the positions for a particular
voyage.

I'm more than happy to teach myself, if someone can point out some
useful URLs.

The other option I wondered about (rather than mapserver) was to use
GRASS and generate an image for each voyage. However, I also know
nothing about GRASS (yet...)

Many thanks for any advice,

Andrew

Nicolas,

This sounds great! Give it a try and let us know how it works. I would
suspect that you might have problems with needing a writable directory
pn the hard disk for mapserver to dump images, etc. into, so you might
need to some how configure a hard disk directory to be mapped into the
web servers htdocs tree.

Hi all,

I just grabbed a more recent source for 3.6 (30 May) and I notice that
msTransformShape in map.h now has a different number of arguments.

It compiles up and dl(); likes it.  :o)

Cheers,

Antti

Betreff: [mapserver-users] Mapplet - Force Zoomdir with image buttons


Hi all.

I'm using MapServer 3.6 with Mapplet Extension.

The question involves zoomdir value. Using classical interface with radio
button (coupled with the [zoomdir_-1|0|1_check] special character) the
application run correctly.

I'm trying to use image buttons instead of radio buttons to obtain the same
result. What I need is that clicking the image the zoomdir value change
correctly.

I'm using code like this:

function ZoominSub(){
  document.mapserv.zoomdir.value = "1";
}

<input type="hidden" name="zoomdir" value="">
<a href="#" onClick="zoomin();">
<img src="http://localhost/images/zoomin.gif" alt="Zoom in"></a>

but I don't get what I want; in fact when I click the image and then I click
over the map the result is a pan operation, not a zoomin one.

Do you have any suggestion or advise?

Thank you very much!

Marco

hi Anders,

this is how I do it under Windows2000 with mapserver.
The file  "GPGSymbole" is a .ttf Truetype fonts file and was added into fonts.txt like all the 
others.
Then you have to find out what letter on the keyboard expresses your 
symbol.  This can be done inside MS Word or other programms using the Font 
 GPGSymbole and printing all the keys.

Subject: [mapserver-users] new layers for Query : no results
Message-ID: <3CFB28A4.E3CBA407@cirad.fr>

hello
((first i try explain in english))
i need some help about mapscript and queries ,
i have a .TAB in mapinfo with many attributes (>200), and users can
choose to query severals among them (no limit).
I don't want to put them all in my map file but i've build new layer
with ms_newLayerObj($mapO) .
When i do that, i have no results for these layers , i verify that they
are known in the map. Their status is ON, but i don't know if they have
a template for the query. To be sure I create classes for them by
copying the existing classes of a layer in my map file which have a
template, but no results .
I use the queryByPoint method, it works well with the layers in my
mapfile.

is there any other way to create new layers queriable ?
please if somebody can help

(PHP/Mapscript mapserver 3.5)

thanks ,
MC

in french more easy for me :
J'ai beaucoup d'attributs dans un fichier .TAB de mapinfo. L'utilisateur
doit pouvoir interroger les valeurs de plusieurs attributs de cette
table (nombre inconnu et iilimit?).
Pour g?rer ca, j'ai pens? cr?er ? la demande de nouveaux layers en
fonction des choix faits par l'utilisateur.
Les layers existent bien dans la l'objet MAP (v?rifi?) mais la m?thode
queryByPoint ne renvoie aucun r?sultat pour les nouveaux layers, j'ai
bien mis leur statut ? ON, pour avoir un TEMPLATE je leur ai cr?? des
classes copi?es de classes existantes avec un template dans mon MAP
file.
Mais la je n'ai pas le moyen de v?rifier ...
Est-ce que ma m?thode pour faire des queries est bonne ???
Merci pour tout conseil

I use win32 binaries MapScript-3.6.0-beta2. Is this property available in

This change was made on 06.05 (mapserver_ChangeLog.txt ).
I have tried to compile sources from cvs but I give up. Is there any
possibility to find win32 binaries with this change.

Thanks for any help.

expression "/^%KT2 %U65/"

if '%KT2 %U65' is the exact and only match, you could also add a $ at 
the end like so...

/^%KT2 %U65$/

keep in mind, the single space in between will get matched...

Just as background information: The data we have retrieved from ESRI's site/cd's before is in projection=geographic & units=decimal_degrees
as opposed to the lat/lon data that you have for the boat positions. You will need to define a projection for your mapfile and also a projection for the layer that contains the boat coordinates. There is a lot of discussion regarding projections in the archives, a list of projections at http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/ , and the proj.4 homepage is at http://www.remotesensing.org/proj/ which should be helpful.
I also wonder if a certain user @ indigo.ie may have some more specific information regarding your problem that may aid you (hint...hint...).

hello
i d'like to use the same mapfile for each continent i want to draw.
i can change the MAP EXTENT parameter but not the REFERENCE EXTENT
parameter (the refObject is read only parameter).
is there a way to do that ?
thanks for any idea
MC


J'ai des cartes ? exploiter par continent , avec les memes layer pour
chacun.
Donc plutot que de faire une fichier .MAP par continent je voulais faire
un fichier map unique dans lequel je changerai ? chaque fois
les parametres EXTENT.
Malheureusement pour l'objet REFERENCE on ne peut que lire le parametre
EXTENT
Y a-t-il un moyen de le faire ?voluer ?

tout id?e est la bienvenue
merci beaucoup

A year or two back, someone had mentioned using Sambar Server to run a MapServer App off a CD.  

I used it to set up a couple of Mapserver 3.3 demo apps.  Worked quite slick.

Actually, this change was made into the 3.7dev tree only... I applied
the same fix to the 3.6 branch this morning, but it was too late for the
3.6 release, so it will only be part of a future 3.6.1 release.  We may
have win32 binaries with this minor fix (and a few others) on our site
in a couple of days.

Hi,

I managed to find some time to play with MapServer so it runs of a CD. 
Included is a webserver....Directions are at

http://zpro.maich.gr:20000/ro_demo/

I've included, for demo purposes a minimum MS3.4 and a small coverage; 
thus the size of the archive...
Let me know; this runs on WIndows, but *nix are even easier...

sincerely,
nicolas boretos

Seems like you're compiling the 3.7dev source (or the
mapserver-3.6.0-beta1.tar.gz which was 3.7-dev by mistake)... please try
this again with the official 3.6 release source:
  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dist/mapserver-3.6.0.tar.gz

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having problems with itemquery as well.

When I use itemquery with an item/value pair, all the lots within the
current image are selected rather than the one I'm querying for.

Anyone else ever get this?

Message-ID: <8879CCE0F0187742B7302A93A8B87B0902999F@mpls.houstoneng.com>

Hi MapServer WMS users,

 

I am new to the WMS feature of MapServer.  I am trying to add a WMS
layer to my current mapserver application and I am not having any
success.  I have read through the WMS Client HowTo and an old posted
message
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/mapserver-users/0204
/msg00314.html) and neither seem to work for me.  I am using
MapServer3.5 with WMS_Client Support.

 

When I insert the WMS layer into the map file all I see in the web
browser are my non-wms layers.  None of the WMS layers seem to show up.
I have tried two different WMS layers; one from the Geography Network as
used in the old posted message and one by DMSoultions in the WMS HowTo.
My map file is attached below.  Can anyone see any reason why the WMS
layers wouldn't be showing up in the web browser?

 

Thanks,

Brian

Hi

I've been checking the sites that use Mapserver
without much luck. I'm looking for an example of how
to query a database so that the items returned are
highlited on the map. Is it possible?

For example on a forest cover layer i would like the
user to have a dialog box where they would enter
(something like) 

SELECT FROM "L_FC" ALL WHERE type="fir"

And all the polygons where the column TYPE contains
"fir" would be highlited or changed a colour i choose.

I would think it is possible?

Randy

So it looks like I won't be building a debian package of mapserver that

to using the system regex.

Hi

The link you give works alright, but I still cannot
get it. For it to work like at the site at
(highwayengineer.co.media.oh.us) i would need the cgi
sript "query.cgi". Is the script query.cgi a modified
verion of the perl scripts qry_point.pl and
shpinfo.pl?

Paul,

Since PHP has to be compiled as a CGI to work with Mapserver,
I compiled up a seperate PHP executable that is only used with
PHPMapscript pages. Asides from not causing dependancy problems
later on, it also means I don't need to worry about enforcing
Mapserver related limitations on my regular PHP apps.

See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DebianLinux for
a detailed list of how I have set up my 3.6 box.

I'd rather a seperate PHP CGI was packaged until the regex and CGI
issues are fixed.

Cheers,

Antti
P.S. I found the testing distro was for the most part up-to-date with
Mapserver's requirements while stable was missing a lot. testing is
supposed to be in a pretty advanced state so it should be OK.

Message-ID: <595FE28AB1EBD111920F0060B06B3DD70D9950F0@ACTMAIL2>

Hi all,

After setting up one Arc/INFO grid that works perfectly, I set up another and whenever
I display it, large chunks are not rendered:

	ftp://ftp.brs.gov.au/outgoing/temp/ll_grid.png	Note some blocks are not rendering
	ftp://ftp.brs.gov.au/outgoing/temp/ll_tiff.png	Export the grid to a TIFF and it works

So far I have:
	- Reprojected from lat/long to Albers (a more integer like projection)
	- Upgraded from GDAL 1.1.5 to 1.1.7 (as part of building a new v3.6 box)
	- Looked at the grid to see if I have done anything different
	    (items defined as 4,10,B only value & count in the .VAT)

Any ideas?

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP/Mapscript Installation Help
Message-ID: <1023170348.11262.367.camel@homer>

Hi List,
Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction to help me get
php/mapscript compiled and running correctly.  I have managed to get
mapserver up and running but I just can't seem to get mapscript to work.

This is what I am using as installed from RedHat 7.3:
apache-1.3.23-11
php-4.1.2-7
and
mapserver-3.6.0

My configuration options for mapserver are:
./configure --with-pdf --with-proj --with-postgis
--with-php=/usr/include/php --with-apxs --without-ttf

>From what I can tell php was configured with the correct options.
It has the options included:
--with-regex=system
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
(All the options were displayed at the start of phpinfo())

In order to get mapscript to compile I have to edit the Makefile in the
mapscript/php3 directory.
This is the line produced from the configure script:
CC =     gcc  gcc -I. -I.. -fPIC
I have to change it to
CC =     gcc -I. -I.. -fPIC
Should I have to edit this file? Is there anything else that I might
need to change? 

I then put mapserv and php_mapscript.so into the relevant directories.
I can access the phpinfo_mapscript.phtml and it says that the module is
loaded. ie:
MapScript Version ($Revision: 1.104 $ $Date: 2002/04/24 20:37:32 $)
MapServer version 3.6.0 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ
SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG
INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=SHAPEFILE

I then modify the test_draw_map.phtml file to point to my working .map
file.  When I access this page it then gives me a fatal error due to
thread safety problems and points me to the following url.
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptCGI

I then follow the instruction for running only php/mapscript scripts as
CGI.
After I have made all of the changes to httpd.conf and restarted httpd I

I have been bashing about with this for about the last week and not
getting anywhere.  If I want to use mapscript should I down grade to 
php 4.0.6 and mapserver 3.5 as mentioned in the php/mapscript
installation howto???

Hi,
This is running on WindowsXP, and should have no problem on 2K/98.

An identical build can be made for Linux, Solaris etc...But I assume
most people would want to demo a CD from Windows.

I put some more directions etc. again at

http://zpro.maich.gr:20000/ro_demo/

In addition to the archive which includes some sample data and 3.4 ms, I 
have also put up just the MS/Webserver combination for those who want to 
use their own data

http://zpro.maich.gr:20000/ro_demo/ms.zip


Anyway, give it a shot. I burned a couple of cd's and they work fine..

IIS send back a "CGI error" page, saying "the program did not run correctly, not sending back a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers are : "
It doesn't seem to come from the .map file, because even if I empty it, I still have exactly the same error.

Hi,

I need your advice on this.

My Plan:
Built a interface which only refreshes the map image.
Can be done via frames or <img src=$image_url...> thing.

Problem:
In other parts of my website, I sometimes mention a place, say XYZ and 
provides a link to
the map application to directly zoom to it. With non-frames solution, I can 
send a url like "www.map.com?place=XYZ
What is the solution for frames ?

TIA
Simon

It depends on what you want to do with the link to a frame. 

Typically, if you already have the frames loaded and with your content
in one frame and you just want the map to show in another frame you add
a <img src="www.map.com?place=XYZ" target="map_frame">

or you could place a link that would popup a window with the map's
parent frameset and use some javascript to get it to load the correct
"www.map.com?place=XYZ" location.

Hi,

I have got a strange problem with a postgis layer in mapserver 3.5. A 
example to illustrate my problem: the following layer definition works:

LAYER
   CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
   NAME "poi_layer"

   # Connect to a remote spatial database
   CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=food host=10.0.0.2"
   # Get the lines from the 'geom' column of the 'roads' table
   DATA "the_geom from pc6punten"
   FILTER "pc6 like '1797%'"
   STATUS ON
   TYPE POINT
   CLASSITEM "pc6"
   CLASS
     TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
     SYMBOL 2
     SIZE 8

     COLOR 0 0 0
   END
   TOLERANCE 5
END

but when i try the following layer definition:

LAYER
   CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
   NAME "poi_layer"

   # Connect to a remote spatial database
   CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=food host=10.0.0.2"
   # Get the lines from the 'geom' column of the 'roads' table

   CLASS
     TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
     SYMBOL 2
     SIZE 8

     COLOR 0 0 0
   END
   TOLERANCE 5
END

The layer doesn't return any results. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

ok guys... using perl mapscript, still trying to fix
a bunch of broken code after going to mapserv3.5,
somewhere along the line

shapeObj->draw(mapObj,layerObj,image,integer class_index,character text) 

changed to 

shapeObj->draw(mapObj,layerObj,image) 

My question here is... How do you classify the shape based on the classes
defined for layerObj?  the shapeObj->draw() method is missing attributes,
so any clue how to get around this?

Message-ID: <200206041603.32150.schut@gissrv.iend.wau.nl>

Probably it is something quite stupid.
I hesitated to question it here, but it seems my only hope left...

I'd like to have a nice red rectangle in my reference map, showing me where I 
am in the map.
I've set up a reference map in the map file, which displays OK. Only no red 
(neither other color) rectangle appears. Do I need to do something more than 
just refimage=$map->drawReferenceMap(); ?
A rectangle query or something? The mapfile definition page mentions something 
like that at the reference object, but I can't find anything similar in the 
php_mapscript object definitions like a queryRectangle method or something 
similar...
All images that I use are png.
PHP=4.1.2
Mapserver/mapscript = 3.6.0

I already tried playing around with the color and outlinecolor items, but 
nothing happened.

Thanks,
Vincent.

What you are doing wrong is inferring from the SQL-like syntax of the
DATA parameter that the values are actually being passed verbatim to the
SQL parser. They are not. They are being parsed by the postgis map
layer, and then used in SQL appropriately. So, your SQL riff on the
standard layout actually breaks the system.

Without javascript, you can set the target for your form to be the frame.

<FORM METHOD=GET NAME="mapserv" target="myFrame">

If your audience is purely internal, and you know they will all be using
Internet Explorer, I'd suggest an <iframe>.  If users might be on Netscape,
you'll have to use standard frames.

It depends on what you want to do with the link to a frame. 

Typically, if you already have the frames loaded and with your content
in one frame and you just want the map to show in another frame you add
a <img src="www.map.com?place=XYZ" target="map_frame">

or you could place a link that would popup a window with the map's

Hi,

i think you can set the class_index of a shapeObj like this (php-syntax):

$Shapeobj->set("classindex", $your_classindex_int);

you classify it in the map file... the scripts merely select, and 
passthrough the matching values...

so, you say...

CLASSITEM blah
CLASS
	EXPRESSION ([blah] > 30 and [blah] < 40)

the scripts just do their mechanical stuff... such as 
setexpression("/$expr/") or draw()

hope this is what you were asking about.

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP/MapScript : Retrieving the centroid of a shape
Message-ID: <3CFCE149.CEC3C5AA@bertin.fr>


I am trying to use PHP/MapScript to display (dynamic) labels on selected
shapes from a layer. To do so, I need to retrieve the "centroid" of
these shapes (a basic "middle of the bounding box" algorithm doesn't
help because the centroid must fall into the shape, whatever the shape
looks like). Is it possible with MapScript ?

I've tried to define a 'point' layer based on my 'polygon' data as well
as an associated class object with a 'label' definition inside. But,
when I use 'setexpression()' (to select the shapes) and then
'drawQueryMap()' to render the selected labels, I get the same labels on
all vertices of every shape (even if I use a "COLOR" line in the map
file to declare "filled" polygons and set TEMPLATE to "" to make the
query possible). 

Any idea, or example of something similar ?

The example mentioned below was written especially to use the
Rosa-Applet in combination woth the CGI binary.

The application requires the rosa applet from DM Solutions and either
a patched version of MapServer 3.4 / 3.5 (see the wiki) or 
MapServer 3.6 (now with native support for the rosa applet).

All path within the sample rosa-sample.html have to be reviewed and most
probably adapted to a specific application.

Should be sufficient, works fine with standalone CGI as well as mapscript.

First, the centroid is NOT required to be inside the polygon, think of
an area like the letter "C".

One way to do this is to construct a point layer that can be used as an
annotation layer for labeling the polygons, where the point is the label
location. You could construct this layer using php, perl or C using this
algorithm:

1) get the bounding box of the polygon.
2) set X to the middle of the bounding box
3) intersect every polygon edge with the line X=middle and make a list
of intersection points (most will not instersect)
4) sort the points in Y
5) set the label point to the midpoint of (X,Y1, X, Y2) which is
garanteed to be inside the polygon.

You can adjust this to set Y and intersect for X, based on whether you
have tall narrow or short wide extents. also if you have only a few
poorly placed points you can just edit their location to a more
suitiable position.

Hope this helps,
  -Steve

What you are doing wrong is inferring from the SQL-like syntax of the
DATA parameter that the values are actually being passed verbatim to the
SQL parser. They are not. They are being parsed by the postgis map
layer, and then used in SQL appropriately. So, your SQL riff on the
standard layout actually breaks the system.

You're using the DATA parameter incorrectly - its a bit confusing.

The generic templates are:

DATA "<geom column name> from <table name>"
	or 
DATA "<geom column name> from (<sql statement>) as foo"

In your case, use:

DATA "the_geom from (SELECT * from objecteigenschappen o left join
pc6punten p on p.pc6=o.eigenschap_3) as foo"

hope that works,

Dave might correct me, but my tendency is to think that using a view
would ALWAYS be preferable to a complex SQL query embedded in the map
file. PostgreSQL has an opportunity to cache the query plan for a view,
so it does not have to re-evaluate for each mapserver request.

Thanks Debbie.  I now see the image in my web browser via the connection
string
(http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=get
MAP&LAYERS=bathymetry,prov_bound,drain_fn&FORMAT=image/gif), but I still
don't get the image in my MapServer application.  I think my problem may
be related to projections, because I don't get any error messages.  It
almost seems like I may be getting a blank image from the WMS server.  I
see my other layers in the mapfile, but not the WMS layer.  How are
projections handled via the WMS Client Support?  

 

I am trying to get DMSolutions Elevation/Bathymetry data to display.
According to the getCapabilities from that WMS Server the data is in
EPSG:42304.  I essentially want the data to be projected to EPSG:4269
(NAD83 DD).  Here is my mapfile: Am I using the projections incorrectly?
Or is there something else I am missing in my mapfile or connection
string?

 

Thanks,

Brian

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] WMS Client Support

 

Your WMS request is not formated correctly.  For instance, in the layer
from DMSolutions, you are missing REQUEST=getmap:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=getM
AP&LAYERS=bathymetry&FORMAT=image/gif

 

Make sure that the URL for your WMS layers are working in a browser
before adding them to your mapfile.  Also, I don't know what your other
layers are, but make sure that the order of your layers in your mapfile
is correct so that you aren't covering the WMS layer with opaque layers.

Hi MapServer WMS users,

 

 

 

I am new to the WMS feature of MapServer.  I am trying to add a WMS

layer to my current mapserver application and I am not having any

success.  I have read through the WMS Client HowTo and an old posted

message

(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/mapserver-users/0204


/msg00314.html) and neither seem to work for me.  I am using

MapServer3.5 with WMS_Client Support.

 

 

 

When I insert the WMS layer into the map file all I see in the web

browser are my non-wms layers.  None of the WMS layers seem to show up.

I have tried two different WMS layers; one from the Geography Network as

used in the old posted message and one by DMSoultions in the WMS HowTo.

My map file is attached below.  Can anyone see any reason why the WMS

layers wouldn't be showing up in the web browser?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

For those of you running Debian (Antti, perhaps you are interested?) I 
have packaged up gdal-1.1.7. My mapserver .deb (which I hope to have 
ready for everyone to take a look at later today) will depend on it. So 
if anyone is willing and have a box they can test it on, go ahead and 
install it. I wouldn't try it on anything in production because there is 
a good chance I did something wrong and it will reformat your harddrive 
or something. So without further ado:

Just add these two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:

     deb http://paulbaker.net/debian pbaker main
     deb-src http://paulbaker.net/debian pbaker main

Then you can just do a nice `apt-get update && apt-get install gdal`. Or 
to build your own binary from the source, `apt-get -b source gdal`

Any questions you know where to find me.

You need to use truetype fonts for 'ANGLE AUTO' bitmap fonts do not
rotate.
Hope that helps.

Thank you

I have been trying to rotate fonts in a shape file for
months. I tried everything i could think of and could
not. And all it was, i needed truetype fonts rather
than bitmap.

I am running Apache 1.2.34 and PHP 4.2.1 on Win2K

I have PHP configured and am able to run the phpinfo_mapscript.php (with the
PHP file extension) file, but not the original phpinfo_mapscript.phtml file
provided by DMSolutions.

I have added into the httpd.conf file the following:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

I receive a 'file not found' error when I try to access the
phpinfo_mapscript.phtml file in the web server.

TIA for any assistance,-matt

I agree with you, but the sql query will not be embedded in the map file. 
It will be generated by a php mapscript with dynamic user input. To 
simplify my question i had "hidden" the mapscript aspect of my question.

I'm sorry, but after tons of trying and recreating tables it still doesn't 
work. I've simplyfied the query:

CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=food host=10.0.0.2"
DATA "the_geom from (SELECT * from objecteigenschappen o left join 
pc6punten p on p.pc6=o.eigenschap_3) as foo"
FILTER "pc6 like '1797%'"

I still get the postgresql error "ERROR:  Attribute 'oid' not found", but i 
have defined a index for oid for both (pc6punten en objecteigenschappen) 
tables. Also geometry_columns table is correctly setup.

Does anybody knows what is going wrong?

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

Hello,

I'm using MS 3.5, PHP4.06, Php_Mapscript_35.dll and Apache at office and
there is no problem, the same code and data don't work at home, using the
same components (also enabled is php_dbase.dll)

The error occurs only, if I do an "infoclick" at an Object, there is no
problem to zoom or pan.
I don't know exactly, at which point the script fails.


The first message:

OleMainThreadWndName-php.exe - error in application:
The instruction in "0x00e2ebf0" refer to memory at "0xca3d097a". The process
"Read" could not carry out on the memory.

If I use then the debugger I get the error message:

Access Violation in php.exe (PHP_Mapscript_35.dll).


I think, something is not well configured at home, but what?

Robert

I want to say thanks to Debbie for her help.  Wow this one was so
simple, but took a while to figure out.  It turns out that if you have
the STATUS set to ON the WMS layer will not display.  If you change the
STATUS to DEFAULT the WMS layer displays.  Is a WMS layer suppose to
behave like this?  It took me a while to figure this one out, so I hope
it saves someone else some time.

Thanks,
Brian

Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] WMS Client Support

First, I'd try to get the WMS layer working all by itself, without
worrying about your other layers or projections.  Once you have that
working, try to add in the other layers and projection parameters.  As
for projections and WMS layers, I think you have to add the srs
parameter in the connection string e.g.:
&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetMap&layers=world&SRS=epsg:4269" and then you
have to add in the projection object in the mapfile.  PROJECTION
	"init=epsg:4269"
  END
The only other thing I notice in the mapfile is that 
  CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
comes AFTER the CONNECTION string.  Perhaps it should go before?  Not
sure if that makes a difference or not.

A question for you... have you seen my posts coming through the
mapserver discussion forum?  I have been trying to post to the forum for
a couple of days and haven't seen my own posts.

Thanks,
Debbie

Thanks Debbie.  I now see the image in my web browser via the connection
string
(http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=get

MAP&LAYERS=bathymetry,prov_bound,drain_fn&FORMAT=image/gif), but I still
don't get the image in my MapServer application.  I think my problem may
be related to projections, because I don't get any error messages.  It
almost seems like I may be getting a blank image from the WMS server.  I
see my other layers in the mapfile, but not the WMS layer.  How are
projections handled via the WMS Client Support?  

 

I am trying to get DMSolutions Elevation/Bathymetry data to display.
According to the getCapabilities from that WMS Server the data is in
EPSG:42304.  I essentially want the data to be projected to EPSG:4269
(NAD83 DD).  Here is my mapfile: Am I using the projections incorrectly?
Or is there something else I am missing in my mapfile or connection
string?

 

Thanks,

Brian

Your WMS request is not formated correctly.  For instance, in the layer
from DMSolutions, you are missing REQUEST=getmap:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=getM

AP&LAYERS=bathymetry&FORMAT=image/gif

 

Make sure that the URL for your WMS layers are working in a browser
before adding them to your mapfile.  Also, I don't know what your other
layers are, but make sure that the order of your layers in your mapfile
is correct so that you aren't covering the WMS layer with opaque layers.

Hi MapServer WMS users,

 

 

 

I am new to the WMS feature of MapServer.  I am trying to add a WMS

layer to my current mapserver application and I am not having any

success.  I have read through the WMS Client HowTo and an old posted

message

(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/mapserver-users/0204



/msg00314.html) and neither seem to work for me.  I am using

MapServer3.5 with WMS_Client Support.

 

 

 

When I insert the WMS layer into the map file all I see in the web

browser are my non-wms layers.  None of the WMS layers seem to show up.

I have tried two different WMS layers; one from the Geography Network as

used in the old posted message and one by DMSoultions in the WMS HowTo.

My map file is attached below.  Can anyone see any reason why the WMS

layers wouldn't be showing up in the web browser?

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

Per the documentation, I've tried to add an HTML template to my .map file,
as such:

...
# LEGEND object

   STATUS ON
   KEYSIZE 18 12
   # LABEL object
   LABEL

   TEMPLATE "../legendTemplates/MOMap_legend.html"
END
...

This results in the following error:

loadLegend(): Unknown identifier. (TEMPLATE):(88) 

As soon as I comment out the "TEMPLATE" line, it works fine.  Any idea what
is wrong?  I'm using the Windows binary version 3.5 (non-php) straight from
the download.

Thanks,
Dan

Robert...

Make sure you are using the most current version of the php_mapscript dll. I
know that I was having a similar problem some time ago, and that a bug was
later found and fixed by the guys at DM Solutions.

You might consider upgrading to the 3.6 dev version. This runs under PHP
4.1.2 and, I believe, is fairly stable (I haven't had any problems with
it...)

Cheers!

Chip

Hello,

I'm using MS 3.5, PHP4.06, Php_Mapscript_35.dll and Apache at office and
there is no problem, the same code and data don't work at home, using the
same components (also enabled is php_dbase.dll)

The error occurs only, if I do an "infoclick" at an Object, there is no
problem to zoom or pan.
I don't know exactly, at which point the script fails.


The first message:

OleMainThreadWndName-php.exe - error in application:
The instruction in "0x00e2ebf0" refer to memory at "0xca3d097a". The process
"Read" could not carry out on the memory.

If I use then the debugger I get the error message:

Access Violation in php.exe (PHP_Mapscript_35.dll).


I think, something is not well configured at home, but what?

You'll have to upgrade to MapServer 3.6 to use HTML legend templates...
they were not there in 3.5.

Message-ID: <3DFF131E4E6D2D4198CDD758F35A5353010ABAF5@postoffice.GASAI.Com>

I am by no means a guru at configuring / working out web server hardware /
networking issues... and could use a little guidance.

Our main webserver is pretty much a dog. We're running a 200 MHz dual
processor server w/ win2K and IIS... it handles a number of things for our
company (besides mapserver)... and it is S L O W (i know... 200 MHz,
Win2K... big part of the problem).

Anyway... my options are limited b/c of internal politics and the like - so
Linux is out, as well as my own dedicated server.

What I'm wondering is if there is some way to "pass-through" my mapserver
requests to a more powerful box within the organization. For instance, a MS
request would come in, and instead of being processed on that server, the
actual mapserver work (the process of rendering the image from the raw GIS
data) would occur on another more powerful machine, and then the image
either would be passed back for service to the client, or would be read
directly from that machine. Is such a thing possible? What would be the
performance implications of such a trick?

I think this is kind of how MO IMS and ArcIMS work in that there is a "Map
Server" that runs as a service... not necessarily on the web server.

TIA

This is the kind of error you get when your tiled files do not share
exactly the same set of attributes.  It is important to make sure that
all your tiled shapefiles have the same number of fields in their DBFs
and that the fields are in the same order.

Jeff,

Not sure what the exact issue is in your case, but MapScript won't work
with PHP as an Apache module anyway, so you should compile it as a CGI,
and then this won't be an issue any more.

SWF output will be supported directly by MapServer in version 3.7 which
is planned for later this summer... in the meantime I believe there are
a few people using the MING library in PHP or other tricks to
encapsulate maps in SWF movies.  Try a search of the mapserver-users
list archives.

Hi

I was wondering if there is a logo for mapserver? It
would be nice to be able to have a good quality logo
on the template.

Hi,

Some of you may have noticed it already: Steve posted the MapServer 3.6
release on the MapServer website (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/) last
week.

The site has also been updated with a set of win32 binaries, and you'll
also notice that Steve and Jamie have rearranged the documentation page
to maintain copies of the docs by MapServer release... a welcome change
for those that are still using 3.5 or earlier releases.

Please see the file HISTORY.TXT in the source release for the list of
changes since 3.5.  You can also view a copy online at
 http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/mapserver-3.6.0-HISTORY.txt

Paul,

As mentioned by Antti R. in a previous message, PHP MapScript won't work
anyway in PHP compiled as a module because of thread-safety issues, so
you are forced to recompile PHP as a CGI anyway.  

However, I have to admit that this system regex thing had fallen into a
crack, but since it seems to become a more serious issue now for several
users I've added it as a bug in the MapServer bugzilla to make sure it
gets addressed eventually:
  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=156

Two possibilities, one is a simple port forwarder.
The other is to set up your "main" web server as a proxy. With Apache
this is pretty straightforward, but I have no idea if IIS support
proxies. Basically with proxy'ing you can say "for subdirectory
/mapserver send all requests on to http://x/y" which is pretty cool.

Thanks for the tip.  Upgrading to 3.6 did solve the problem.  The legend
template started working right away.  As an added benefit, I've been
converting MapInfo files to shape format for using in MapServer, and now I
don't need to. 

Thanks,

Hummm... you're not lucky... you seem to be trying to compile with PHP3
and we have started dropping PHP3 after version 3.5... so it won't
compile.

I hear your next question already: "But then why did configure detect
PHP3 and complete with no error?" ... I'll have to remove detection of
PHP3 from the configure script.

You didn't miss it, this message *was* the announcement... it came a

Well, I'll be the first to advocate WMS functionality for Chip :)
Have you dug into this at all - it will probably be the best solution for
you and keeps things nice and secure since it uses a simple httpd request
to another box.  You should check out the WMS how to's:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc35/wms-client-howto.html
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc35/wms-server-howto.html

You'll want your externally available server to be setup as a WMS Client
and the stronger machine internal to your network to be a WMS Server.
You'll need a web server on both ends of course.

Let us know if you need some hand holding, the archives should have lots of
discourse on this.  Hopefully the hint "USE WMS" gets you headed in the
right direction.

I am by no means a guru at configuring / working out web server hardware /
networking issues... and could use a little guidance.

Our main webserver is pretty much a dog. We're running a 200 MHz dual

Linux is out, as well as my own dedicated server.

What I'm wondering is if there is some way to "pass-through" my mapserver
requests to a more powerful box within the organization. For instance, a MS
request would come in, and instead of being processed on that server, the
actual mapserver work (the process of rendering the image from the raw GIS

either would be passed back for service to the client, or would be read
directly from that machine. Is such a thing possible? What would be the
performance implications of such a trick?

I think this is kind of how MO IMS and ArcIMS work in that there is a "Map
Server" that runs as a service... not necessarily on the web server.

Actually my next question would be, then why is the directory for 
mapscript support called mapscript/php3?
My next question after that is when is the incompatibility with PHP4's 
bundled regex going to be resolved? Until then I won't be able to build 
a Mapscript/PHP Debian package unfortuneately... :-(

I think it is called port forwarding.  Not sure how you set it up in
windows land and have only just started to have a look at it on linux. 
Basically I think the theory is that you map any requests received on a
port (ie port 80 for apache) and tell it to forward it to another IP
address.
In Linux land it canbe done using ipchains or iptables I think.  Also
have a look at NAT (Network Address Translation).

Another option could be to use a database that holds your data on the
faster machine eg postgres with postgis and have your .map file on the
slower webserver connect to the faster machine to access the data.  That
way you don't need to set up any port forwarding stuff.  This way might
not be as quick as the port forwarding way but it might be quicker than
doing it all on the slow machine.

would be cool, wouldn't it! but, unless mapserver can be made into a daemon
(or a service), this really is not easy. 

think about it...

a user request comes to your dummy (slowpoke) web server. The webserver
determines this is a ms request...

one way, of course, would be to simply pass the request to a different
webserver... both, in Apache and IIS (and probably every other webserver on
earth except perhaps the 10 line ultramicro one somewhere) you can easily
forward a request to another computer based on a number of parameters. but
what's the point of this... you may as well have that "other" server
published and not have the users go to your slowpoke server...

what you want is that the grunt work of ripping through the mountains of
shape files or other data is done by a chunky backbox with gobs of ram and
solid-state harddisks for storage, no? so, the slowpoke server passes the
params to your backbox which constructs the requisite image and dumps it
into a storage that is url-accessible by the slowpoke.

now, the way ms is right now, it is just a program (a great one, but just a
program nonetheless). it runs only when poked by either the webserver (cgi)
or perl/php (cgi). you need it to be like a server itself (then it will
really live up to the last two syllables in its name), fully threaded n'all,
perhaps forking, just like Apache is, in its own memory space, etc. 

Perhaps it could be... SDL is the man for to comment on that. 

Even better if it could be a mod_mapserver a la mod_perl, all compiled and
loaded within Apache itself, but that is another story...

I know this server is IIS, but but a very simple solution using Perl or
PHP might be work well for you. I sure you could do this same thing in
IIS with ASP, but I'm not sure how to do it.

The basic concept is to you the incoming request to form a new request
to an other server that is running mapserver which was your original
stated goal.

For example in PHP you can do something like

   $my_http_request = "http://local_server/my_app/?" . $QUERY_STRING;
   readfile($my_http_request);

which would grab the get params passed to this script and forward them
to the new url. The output of the forwarded page is return my readfile()
to the stdout which gets sent to the user's browser.

So your main web server is doing nothing but copying data from one
handle to another.

Some issues with this setup are, that you would want to configure
mapserver or mapscript to return images on stdout as the browser will
not have access to the mapservers file system for images.

You can do a similar thing in Perl and I am guessing that you can do
this via ASP also, but I'm not sure how.

This would let you put up specific pages and forward them to another
server. This will work even if you can't get the sysadmins to setup port
forwarding or IIS proxy forwarding which would make the issue of files
above more transparent.

Lot's of interesting reply on this one but what I would recommend is a
combination of two previous posts.  First, Tyler Mitchell mentioned WMS.
Yeah, use that for your raster datasets.  For vector datasets, I would
then suggest importing them into a geodatabase (PostGIS) and connecting
to that database from your slower web server.  This way, you can still
use "normal" MapServer functionalities on the "local" layers.

So, 
1. set a WMS server app on your fast machine and add all your raster
layers there.  
2. On the same machine, install PostgreSQL and PostGIS, and convert your
shapefiles to a PostGIS database (there's a utility included in
PostGIS). 
3. Create a WMS client application on your slow machine and add all the
layers from your WMS server app.
4. Add your PostGIS database/s as layers to the WMS application.
5. Do anything else you'd like.
6. Let us know how it works.

This unfinished application works almost like that:
http://arbutus.gis.umn.edu/cambodia/.  The raster layers come from a WMS
server app that resides on a Windows 2000 machine (hw: Dell Optiplex
Gx1, 400mhz PII, 256Mb RAM) with Apache (sorry, I gave up on IIS a long
time ago) while the vector layers reside on the local machine (arbutus)
running Linux 2.4 (hw: custom, AMD k6-2 500Mhz, 384Mb RAM).  I did this
while fooling around with the WMS stuff.  This was going to be my
masters project...

G'day!

Message-ID: <EBC7CDFA-7825-11D6-A64E-0003937562B8@where2getit.com>

To go along with that MapServer 3.6 release I have some unofficial 
Debian packages of MapServer 3.6 to go with it. At this time I would 
recommend them only for the brave.

At this moment there are 3 binary .deb packages produced from the 3.6 
source.

mapserver-cgi - this installs the mapserv cgi binary in /usr/lib/cgi-bin
libmapscript-perl - this installs mapscript.pm for use by your perl 
programs.
mapserver-dev - installs the libmap.a and map.h into /usr/lib and 
/usr/include respectively.

These binaries are compiled with support for JPEG, FreeType, PNG, ZLib, 
TIFF, EPPL7, PROJ.4, OGR, GDAL, OGC WMS, and OGC WMS Client Connections. 
Which means that they currently don't support GIF, PDF, ESRI SDE (is 
this free?), MPATROL, PostGIS, or OracleSpatial. For lack of skill or 
technical reasons, I was unable to package 
MapScript/{Java,PHP,Python,Tcl} support.

As with my GDAL package, just add these lines to your 
/etc/apt/sources.list file:

   deb http://paulbaker.net/debian pbaker main
   deb-src http://paulbaker.net/debian pbaker main

If anyone tries these out, please let me know how well they work for 
you. Or let me know which of the missing features you would need added 
before you could test them out.

Thanks!!

By far the most performant decision would be to use the slow machine as 
a proxy. That way it just has to serve HTTP. I would strongly suggest 
investigating the proxying capabilities of your slow HTTP server.

Subject: [mapserver-users] problems with mapscript java on linux
Message-ID: <1023267928.785.79.camel@crest.tz.net>

Hi,

I built mapscript (from mapserver 3.6) java on debian (IBM Jdk 1.3.1,
SWIG 1.3.11u).
Building process works fine; only a few warnings though ...
I afterwards copied the library and the classes to the appropriate
locations and tried to write my first program, which is attached below.
It compiles just fine, but i get the following output:

# java demo
Trying to load mapscript ...
successful!
Unexpected exception has occurred:
ReportedExceptionCode = b, at ExceptionAddress = 41e34310
        ACCESS_VIOLATION occured outside Interpreter and JITed code
        ExecMode = EXECMODE_BYTECODE
        stackpointer=0xbffc7370
Writing Java core file ....
Written Java core to javacore.txt


When I look inside javacore.txt i find the following:

What is wrong here? Any suggestions?

Message-ID: <5.0.0.25.2.20020605121920.02ae44d0@pop3.wish.nl>

I tryed your suggestion immediately and the error "Attribute 'oid' not 
found" disappeared. I also found 
<http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0110/msg00283.html> 
which explains sub-select feature.

Now all errors are disappeared, but now postgis is not returning any 
points. For simplicity i now use a simple test query:
DATA "the_geom from (SELECT oid, * from pc6punten) as foo"

When i execute this query in my postgresql client (psql) all points in 
tabel pc6punten are returned. But when i try it as layer definition in 
mapserver nothing is returned (not even a error).

My layer definition is:

LAYER
   CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
   NAME "poi_layer"

   CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=food host=10.0.0.2"
   DATA "the_geom from (SELECT oid, * from pc6punten) as foo"
   STATUS ON
   TYPE POINT
   CLASSITEM "pc6"
   CLASS
     TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
     SYMBOL 2
     SIZE 8

     COLOR 0 0 0
   END
   TOLERANCE 5
END

When i replace the DATA field to:
DATA "the_geom from pc6punten"
all correct points are returned and displayed.

I hope this is the last time, but does anybody know what i'm doing wrong?

Best regards,

Hmm, strange.
I don't see any significant difference between my reference section and the 
one cited below which 'should be sufficient'.
To be sure, I tried with the following:

REFERENCE
	IMAGE "/home/samboja/ms_data/data/reference/sl_ref.png"
	EXTENT 492499.336 9879200.289 502498.366 9890199.289
	COLOR -1 -1 -1
	OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
	SIZE 100 110
	STATUS ON
END

The ref image displays OK, but no rectangle appears after zooming in.
I even tried a full recompile/install of the libs (libpng, libgd, libgdal, 
libproj) and mapserver.

Is it something in my php?
essentially, I do the following:
after calculating the new extent (depending on zoomin in/out or panning),
$map->setextent($extent[0],$extent[1],$extent[2],$extent[3]);
$image = $map->prepareImage();
$image = $map->draw();
$ref_image = $map->drawReferenceMap();
and then the necessary stuff to save the temp images and so on.

Did I miss something here?

Vincent.

Subject: [mapserver-users] ASP as template file
Message-ID: <02Jun5.142551cest.119139@gateway1.carlbro.dk>

Hello everyone.

I'm working with a map where I need to do some queries. I would like the
result of those queries to be handles by an active server page insted of a
simple html file. The following worked fine in version 3.4:

QUERY
	TEMPLATE 'processquery.asp'
END

Now I'm trying to do the same in version 3.5 and I believe this should be
correct syntax:

LAYER
....(omitted)...
CLASS
    SIZE 1
    TEMPLATE 'processquery.asp'
END #Class
END #Layer

For some reason the asp is not parsed by the asp parser and the entire
content is sent to the client browser (which ignores it of course). What do
I do wrong?

Thanks in advance
Christian Runge

P.S. I use the following system when running it:
Windows 2000 server
Internet Information Server
Mapserver 3.5
Internet Explorer 5.5 as test client

As Stephen pointed out, there are some good formulas via the Google search
page that you can wade through to figure it out...

However, some words of caution. 

The way ArcView calculates HSV is a little different. Values for H, S, and V
all range from 0 to 255 (I believe). This is different from other HSV color
models. If you have access to ArcView, there are some simple avenue scripts
that will do the conversion for you (or you might be able to get your client
to do it).

Message-ID: <001101c20c9f$552f6ce0$147a7ac0@domain>

hi,

i am using Digital Chart of the World as a data source for Mapserver.
The map application enables a user to enter a GPS coordinate (decimal degrees) and 
plot the point against the layers from DCW. 

In the website (http://www.maproom.psu.edu/cgi-bin/dcw/dcwarea.cgi?Asia)  where the data was downloaded, the projection info is
Projection  GEOGRAPHIC 
Units  DD 
Spheroid  CLARKE1866 

The application seems to run fine and shows the GPS point correctly (didn't do any accuracy test, though).
Question:
1. Is this acceptable 
If not, which is better,
(a) reproject the GPS point to the Geographic projection
or 
(b) reproject the map layers to WGS84.

TIA

Christian:

The template file is being read directly from the file system as a flat
file and return to the user directly by the CGI.  It is not running
through the ASP engine at all.  If you want to use mapserver with ASP
you will need to put it behind your ASP.  ie. call the asp page and have
it call the mapserv CGI and then reformat the output within your ASP
page and dump it to the screen.  I have not done it in ASP but I have
done similar in JSP.

Christian -

What you're doing wrong is trying to use ASP like this - it simply won't work.  Your client browser makes an HTTP request to the MapServer CGI program, which processes the MAP file, the TEMPLATE file, and the CGI parameters to generate an output stream that's sent to the client in response to that HTTP request.  Alternatively, your client browser could make an HTTP request to the ASP parser program, which processes an ASP file and generates an output stream that's sent to the client in response to that HTTP request.  But a given HTTP request can't do both.

Depending on your circumstances, you might be better off using fewer of the MapServer template features and replacing them with ASP functionality instead.  I wrote a wordy note to the list a little while ago about using ASP with MapServer - you can find it in the archives at:

Hello everyone.

I'm working with a map where I need to do some queries. I would like the
result of those queries to be handles by an active server page insted of a
simple html file. The following worked fine in version 3.4:

QUERY
	TEMPLATE 'processquery.asp'
END

Now I'm trying to do the same in version 3.5 and I believe this should be
correct syntax:

LAYER
....(omitted)...
CLASS
    SIZE 1
    TEMPLATE 'processquery.asp'
END #Class
END #Layer

For some reason the asp is not parsed by the asp parser and the entire
content is sent to the client browser (which ignores it of course). What do
I do wrong?

Thanks in advance

P.S. I use the following system when running it:

Subject: [mapserver-users] Web Server Tricks... Kind of Off Topic
Message-ID: <F259u1B6gVs1tIzmQVu0000c850@hotmail.com>

Hi Chip,
Just to throw another idea into the mix...
A few years back I played around with a product called "ASPTear".  We had an 
application running on an Intranet and wanted to put it on the Internet for 
a few few users... but didn't want to open any additional ports other than 
port 80 between the DMZ and the internal network.  Since the internal 
servers weren't visible outside the DMZ, we set up the web server as 
basically a relay station to our internal app and the only communication was 
HTTP. I assume you're doing something similar?
Anyway... you simply create the asptear.dll object in your .asp and tell it 
what "page" to grab... in this case it would be something like
<%
asptear.getPage("http://mapservername/scripts/mapserv?" & 
Request.QueryString)
%>
and call it by...
http://slowservername/mapserver_relay.asp?template=blah&program=blah&etc

and it relays the resultant HTTP back to the client... it's almost as 
painless on your web server as serving up a simple html page.  You'd just 
have to remember that Mapserver will need to write the image to the 
"visible" server so the client can access it through the URL.
This was a couple years ago and I think it was either freeware or 
inexpensive shareware.  Just search on "asptear", if you can't find anything 
let me know and I'll see if I can dig it up.

I think there are already better suggestions that have been made. But this 
is something to look into if you're really in a bind and have no room for 
flexibility in your server configurations.

Unfortunately they are built in functions that do the RGB<->HSV conversions.
I've never tried this, but you might be able to manually convert the values
from the ArcView flavor of HSV to the Photoshop flavor of HSV.

So, for instance, in PS (and strangely ArcInfo...why they didn't use the
same color model is beyond me) H is 0-360, and S and V are both 0 to 100.

So, say you have an AV HSV color specified as 255 255 255

This should be equivalent to a PS value of 
  H: 360 (or 0)
  S: 100
  V: 100

Your formula for the conversion should be:

  H_PS = (H_AV / 255) * 360
  S_PS = (S_AV / 255) * 100
  V_PS = (V_AV / 255) * 100

where H_PS is the HUE value in Photoshop, and H_AV is the HUE value in
ArcView, and so on.

If you've got a long list, you could do all the conversions in a
spreadsheet, then move over to PS.

Hope that helps!

Chip

Hi,

Did you tried to move your symbol definition into a different file and 
reference it with SYMBOLSET in your map file ? 

I know there was a problem with the keyword TRUETYPE since it have a 
different signification in mapfile and symbol file. I'm not sure if it had 
been corrected. Just in case try to seperate the symbol definition (if there 
is TRUETYPE symbol in it) from your map file.

Chris, Ed, and others...

  We did a little project with standard CGI (no ASP front-end) MapServer 3.5
using ASP (under IIS 4)to return query results.  Our query template looked
like:

IMapPro.html:
===============================================
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</head>
<BODY><CENTER>
<script language="javascript">
(window.location="/test/imappro1.asp?strtile=[TILEID]&intutm=[UTMZONE]&strim
gdate=[IMAGEDATES]")
</script>
</HTML>
===============================================
(Note that the JavaScript causes the results to be displayed in a
new/separate window than the one the map interface is in.)

  The ASP code (VBScript in our case) gets the values of the variables that
were substituted as part of Mapserver processing the template:

imappro1.asp:
===============================================
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</head>
<BODY>
<%
strtile = request.QueryString ("strtile")
strimgdate=request.QueryString ("strimgdate")
intutm=request.QueryString ("intutm")

strlevel1=mid(strtile,1,5)
strlevel2=mid(strtile,1, 6)
strlevel3=mid(strtile,3, 6)
%>

<H1><b>Image Maps PRO</b></H1>

<table cellpadding=5 cellspacing=2 border=1>
<tr><th> Product Status </th><th> Tile ID </th><th> Image Dates </th></tr>
<tr><td> AVAILABLE </td><td> <%=strtile%> </td><td> <%=strimgdate%>
</td></tr>
</TABLE>
</HTML>
===============================================

I'm not sure the re-direction is strictly necessary.  I seem to recall
MapServer having a problem with templates having an extension of ASP (and
indicating to IIS to treat it as ASP), and IIS having a problem with ASP
files with an extension of HTML.

Nothing like a little re-direction to solve a web problem....

Brent -

Yes, that's a good way to address the issue.  But you've still got two separate URLs (HTTP requests) involved - one to the MapServer CGI, and another to an ASP page.  The MapServer CGI doesn't return ASP code, of course - it programmatically generates the parameters to an ASP page.  The "redirection" is indeed necessary - you need to send two distinct HTTP requests.  One goes to the MapServer CGI, and one goes to the ASP processor.

I find that some of the difficulty users find in mixing/matching MapServer and ASP is that MapServer's template mechanism provides a different way of doing many things one can do in ASP (or in other front-end scripting environments; there's nothing special about ASP).  That's great because you don't NEED a scripting environment to do a lot of cool things with MapServer, but it seems to confuse people who get started with MapServer templates and then try to figure out how to "add ASP".

Chris, Ed, and others...

  We did a little project with standard CGI (no ASP front-end) MapServer 3.5
using ASP (under IIS 4)to return query results.  Our query template looked
like:

IMapPro.html:
===============================================
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</head>
<BODY><CENTER>
<script language="javascript">
(window.location="/test/imappro1.asp?strtile=[TILEID]&intutm=[UTMZONE]&strim
gdate=[IMAGEDATES]")
</script>
</HTML>
===============================================
(Note that the JavaScript causes the results to be displayed in a
new/separate window than the one the map interface is in.)

  The ASP code (VBScript in our case) gets the values of the variables that
were substituted as part of Mapserver processing the template:

imappro1.asp:
===============================================
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</head>
<BODY>
<%
strtile = request.QueryString ("strtile")
strimgdate=request.QueryString ("strimgdate")
intutm=request.QueryString ("intutm")

strlevel1=mid(strtile,1,5)
strlevel2=mid(strtile,1, 6)
strlevel3=mid(strtile,3, 6)
%>

<H1><b>Image Maps PRO</b></H1>

<table cellpadding=5 cellspacing=2 border=1>
<tr><th> Product Status </th><th> Tile ID </th><th> Image Dates </th></tr>
<tr><td> AVAILABLE </td><td> <%=strtile%> </td><td> <%=strimgdate%>
</td></tr>
</TABLE>
</HTML>
===============================================

I'm not sure the re-direction is strictly necessary.  I seem to recall
MapServer having a problem with templates having an extension of ASP (and
indicating to IIS to treat it as ASP), and IIS having a problem with ASP
files with an extension of HTML.

Nothing like a little re-direction to solve a web problem....

parameters to generate an output stream that's sent to the client in
response to that HTTP request.  Alternatively, your client browser could
make an HTTP request to the ASP parser program, which processes an ASP file
and generates an output stream that's sent to the client in response to that
HTTP request.  But a given HTTP request can't do both.

I ran into this also. Putting the truetype symbol definition into the

Ed,

  Good point.  I would highly recommend the simplicity of using only
templates if possible.

    In my case the reason I resorted to ASP because I wanted to display
thumbnails of images that are in a directory structrure based on parts of
the ID of the particular image.  I didn't want to change the structure and I
didn't want to put the path as an attribute in my shapefile (although in
hindsight I think that might be a less convoluted/better solution) which
would have allowed me to use only the stock template mechanism.  So I used
ASP to decode the ID and build the path on the fly.

    As a result I've got a mapping site that uses HTML, Java, JavaScript,
AND VBScript.  Not to mention of course it is now dependant on Microsoft's
IIS... Bummer.

   Now if  I could only find a reason to add some Perl, PHP, Python, C#,
Pascal, Fortran, COBOL... ;)

For the record, this has been fixed only in the 3.7-dev source (CVS)...
so until the 3.7 release is available, then the workaround is to keep
TRUETYPE symbols in a symbolset file as you mentioned.

You can also do the same thing with the built-in ASP XMLHttp or
ServerXMLHttp objects.  ServerXMLHttp is preferable for IIS.  The code is as
easy.  Not sure how the performance compares with commercial products.

To do it with the XMLHttp or ServerXMLHttp would be something like the below

'Set objhttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") (if you have this
installed)
Set objhttp = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHttp")
' Opens the connection to the remote server.
With objhttp
	.Open "GET", "http://mapservername/scripts/mapserv?" &
Request.QueryString, False
	.Send
	Response.Write .ResponseText
End With

objhttp.ResponseText is the output of the page

Hi Chip,
Just to throw another idea into the mix...
A few years back I played around with a product called "ASPTear".  We had an

application running on an Intranet and wanted to put it on the Internet for 
a few few users... but didn't want to open any additional ports other than 
port 80 between the DMZ and the internal network.  Since the internal 
servers weren't visible outside the DMZ, we set up the web server as 
basically a relay station to our internal app and the only communication was

HTTP. I assume you're doing something similar?
Anyway... you simply create the asptear.dll object in your .asp and tell it 
what "page" to grab... in this case it would be something like
<%
asptear.getPage("http://mapservername/scripts/mapserv?" & 
Request.QueryString)
%>
and call it by...
http://slowservername/mapserver_relay.asp?template=blah&program=blah&etc

and it relays the resultant HTTP back to the client... it's almost as 
painless on your web server as serving up a simple html page.  You'd just 
have to remember that Mapserver will need to write the image to the 
"visible" server so the client can access it through the URL.
This was a couple years ago and I think it was either freeware or 
inexpensive shareware.  Just search on "asptear", if you can't find anything

let me know and I'll see if I can dig it up.

I think there are already better suggestions that have been made. But this 
is something to look into if you're really in a bind and have no room for 
flexibility in your server configurations.

WMS layers behave exactly the same way as other layers with respect to
the STATUS setting.  Note that with the mapserv CGI, layers that have
STATUS ON are displayed *only if* they are explicitly requested via a
layer=name parameter in the URL.  Did you make sure that your HTML
interface template was passing this parameter to the mapserv CGI?

I've noticed that we seem to get this warning in the error_log when
MapServer connects to some WMS servers in PNG format (I think it was
with cubeserv servers).  I never noticed any side-effect related to
that, so it should be safe to ignore it.

Subject: [mapserver-users] ASP as template file
In-Reply-To: <13858AA1A74F30419F319ACB66A9D1220193A6@mercator.topozone.com>

Ed,
I recently implemented a site that used the same approach as brent, and there are definately cases where ASP or other server side scripting is 
required.  In my case, data about the spatial objects on the map was stored in a SQL Server database (not my choice), that was being 
updated frequently from other sources.  This data was also being edited from from another frame on my site.

The ASP redirection method was a neccessary step in being able to do database queries to provide data for the displayed frame.  In my case 
the only thing that I really wanted from the shape file was the ID of the spatial object to query. 

Having said that, as I got to understand the way that the template mechanism worked with the page and data headers/ footers etc, I can see 
that you would be able to build quite sophisticated forms to display mapping data if all your data was in the spatial data.

great because you don't NEED a scripting environment to do a lot of cool things with MapServer, but it seems to confuse people who get 
started with MapServer templates and then try to figure out how to "add ASP".

using ./configure --with-threads doesn't resolve the thread-safety issue

Message-ID: <CA0FFC66A075CC4C94949786DC2094C743B9E3@enterprise.lands.resnet.qg>

Hi List,
	I have managed to compile ms3.5 with mapscript using php4.0.6
(via CGI) on Solaris Unix running Apache1.3.24. I am able to display
data sets straight out of the mapfile OK, but when I try to give the
user some control over the visibility of layers I get this error message
(which seems to have been around a bit in the past):

Fatal error: Object has an invalid _handle_ property 
The mapscript I am attempting to implement looks like this:

  $mapimg = $map->prepareImage();

  $layer = $map->getLayerByName("citrus");
  $layer->set('status', 'ON');
  $layer->draw($map,$mapimg);

With the error message indicating that it is the
$layer->draw($map,$mapimg); line causing the problem.

After going through the mail archive I found that there was a known bug
with php4.0.6, so I have just gone through the process of compiling and
installing php4.2.0 and mapserver3.6, however I still get the same
message. As I say, I've been through the mail archive extensively and
haven't found a work around yet that solves the problem.

Does anyone have suggestions as to how I may overcome this problem?

Thanks very much

Hi all,

i?m new at the mapserver-user community and want to use the mapserver on NT
with ISS and ArcSDE. The installed package is ms36png_gdal_pg_wms.zip. An
ArcSDE client is installed at the server.

At testing the mapserver installation with some shapes, it correctly runs.
The test with an connection to ArcSDE returned the following message:

msSDELayerOpen(): General error message. SDE support is not available.

Is there no support to SDE layer within the mapserver package or no
connection to the SDE libs? How can i get a precompiled win32 binary of the
mapserver within a SDE support?

I?m enjoy for any help. Thanks

Message-ID: <5.0.0.25.2.20020606142747.02f03890@pop3.wish.nl>

Hello,

I think i've found a bug in the postgis connector. When you do a subselect 
in the DATA field and the first table is not the table with a geometric 
column, the resultset will be empty.

pc6punten is the table with the geometric column.
objecteigenschappen is a normal table, without geometric information.

A example:
DATA "the_geom from (select p.oid, p.* from pc6punten p, 
objecteigenschappen o where o.eigenschap_3=p.pc6) as foo"
Works oke, because in pc6punten a geometric column named the_geom exists.

DATA "the_geom from (select p.oid, p.* from objecteigenschappen o, 
pc6punten p where o.eigenschap_3=p.pc6) as foo"
Returns a empty resultset aka no points.

Anothe example:
DATA "the_geom from (select p.oid, p.* from pc6punten p left join 
objecteigenschappen o on p.pc6=o.eigenschap_3 where o.keur<>'') as foo"
Works oke.

DATA "the_geom from (select p.oid, p.* from objecteigenschappen o left join 
pc6punten p on p.pc6=o.eigenschap_3 where o.keur<>'') as foo"
Returns a empty resultset.

When using a normal postgresql client, all queries returns points.

I'm using mapserver 3.6.

Best regards,
Twan

You are right that is exactly why the WMS layer was not displaying, when
I had the status set to on.

WMS layers behave exactly the same way as other layers with respect to
the STATUS setting.  Note that with the mapserv CGI, layers that have
STATUS ON are displayed *only if* they are explicitly requested via a
layer=name parameter in the URL.  Did you make sure that your HTML
interface template was passing this parameter to the mapserv CGI?

Hi,

below is a snipplet avenue-code, that we use to get the RGB-Values of classified
legends. Perhaps your client can use it to give you the RGB-Values: Basically,
you use it on a LegendObj to get the Symbols, then get the colors as a list of
rgb int values and e.g. write it to a textfile.

--- snip
  theClassesList = theLegend.GetClassifications
  symbols = theLegend.GetSymbols
  n = theClassesList.Count-1
  d = Dictionary.Make(0)
  for each e in 0..n
    aClass = theClassesList.Get(e)
    aSymbol = symbols.get(e)
    aColor = aSymbol.getColor.getRGBList
    R = aColor.get(0).asString
    G = aColor.get(1).asString
    B = aColor.get(2).asString
    aString = R+" "+G+" "+B
    aTextfile.WriteElt(aString)
    d.add (akey.Asstring, {aLabel,symbols.get(e)})
  end
---snip

HTH, Cheers, Michael

Hi,

I have updated the site and now there are three archives, and one is
complete with the itasca demo. I have tested this on cd also.
This archive is tms_itasca.zip (the url describes this stuff)

http://zpro.maich.gr:20000/ro_demo/

This archive, as well as tms.zip is built from the latest 3.6 win 
binaries, the ones that include postgres, wms, gdal etc...


My cd is on d:\. It is easy to change the c:\virtual.cfg file if your 
cdrom is another drive. The mapserver.rc file contains server conf stuff 
such as port, etc....

Anyway, it would be easy to set this up completely graphically, e.g
ask for the cdrom drive, what port you want etc... but I feel it is 
already easy enough, and it seems that there was not much interest from 
the ms list....

Note edit your itasca files to point to the correct paths (basic 
mapserver stuff....


WRT to the subject line, I assume the reference is for ms not for 
posgres to run off a cd???

Anyway, let me know..

Unfortunately it's not that simple... --with-threads implements the
beginning of a solution covering some of the most important problems,
but there are still known issues to be resolved, like the way relative
paths are handled (using chdir() which is bad), and also the way the PHP
wrappers are implemented (too much heritage from PHP3)... we've started
working on this as a lower priority item.  Then once all know issues are
addresses we'll have to start testing with the PHP module again and see. 

Hopefully this will happen for version 3.7

This bug has been fixed in the 3.7 source so it won't matter where you put the definition, but Rich is correct in the workaround for older versions.

I ran into this also. Putting the truetype symbol definition into the 
SYMBOLSET file, rather than defining it in the .map file fixed it for me.

I would put fixing the incompatibility with PHP4's bundled regex a

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0206061237230.18928-100000@Titan.ERC.MsState.Edu>

I had asked this mailing list yesterday about HSV->RGB conversion. Many of
you gave me very good suggestions and programs to do this.  But I am
thinking that since I've mapscript I could do this dynamically. Scenario:
I've a MS Word file from the client which has about 40-50 shapefiles and
info. on how to plot them e.g.:
Data Layer   Legend Type  Values-Field  Value  Label  Symbol  Color-Hue Saturation Value Outline
Fed_land.shp Unique Value Name          Desoto Desoto 4       128       47         192   0.1
                                        .      .      .       .         .          .
                                        .
                                        .

So rather than converting all these HSV values to RGB and making a big
.map file in which each layer would have from 4-15 classes, would it be
more efficient to read the file (x'lated to a text fmt. etc.), read each
column, create a class obj., set it's color properties etc.

Would this be very slow compared to putting this info. in a map file?

Another idea is creating a database (MySQL) and putting this info. there,
but I think reading from database so much info. would make my script very
slow, right?

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0206061302030.18928-100000@Titan.ERC.MsState.Edu>

Hi,
One more question, in MS we can make pre-defined symbols and store them in
a .sym file. But you can't store COLOR info. in this right?

So would there be a way to store predefined COLOR (RGBs) in some file and
use these values for a class/layer based on certain attributes.

Also I have been given a symbology for various layers like Symbol 1 - 47,
I believe these are predefined Arcview or Arcinfo symbols. Is there anyway
in mapserver to get these symbols? If not I have to create it like the
examples in the .sym file?

Thanks,
 -Pushkar S. Pradhan

Okay a very silly question to use truetype fonts, do I need to download
them separately from freetype.org?
I am on Unix, can't I use the system's fonts (if they are there)?
PHP compiled with:
./configure  --prefix=/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/php-4.0.6
--with-regex=system --enable-discard-path --enable-dbase

MS options:
# ./configure  --without-tiff --without-jpeg

--without-ttf

Subject: [mapserver-users] More on points not appearing in 3.6b2-win32-php4.2.1-libwww
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0206061128180.647-100000@nermal.santarosa.edu>

Found some interesting things. The relevant PHP code is as follows:
<?
$shp = $bmLayer->getShape(-1,0);

foreach($shp->values as $key=>$value){
        echo ("Index $key is $value<br>");
}

$bounds = $shp->bounds;
echo ("<p>Bounds are $bounds->minx $bounds->miny to ".
        "$bounds->maxx $bounds->maxy</p>");

$shp->draw($map,$bmLayer,$map->draw(),0, "Test")
        or die ("Could not draw shape!");
?>

The shape's values are reported correctly.
The shape's bounds are reported as -1 -1 -1 -1
The draw() function fails and die() is called. If I'm calling draw()
wrong, I'd like to know.

I'm not sure how shapeObj bounds work, so I don't know whether the values
of -1 are appropriate (it's a point) or an error. Eventually, I will
want a way of determining the points' pixel locations on the image, and
I had assumed bounds would help with that as nothing else in the shapeObj 
API seems like it would.


As said before, the itasca airports example works fine so with this I'm 
leaning towards believing that the problem could be in my shapefile. 
The shapefile was created by ArcGIS 8.2 by being pulled from a geodatabase 
that had originally been created from several ArcGIS 8.1 shapefiles and 
bludgeoned until the separated data tables had been merged into one and 
ArcGIS declared the result to be a working feature class. It could be 
missing something that ArcGIS doesn't mind but mapserver needs.



BTW, there's a typo on the Mapserver support page (/support.html)
in the list signup instructions. Where it says "subscribe mapserver-user" 
it's missing the 's' at the end.

Before you make, edit mapscript/php3/Makefile

Near the CC= gcc gcc -I

should look like CC= gcc -I

only one gcc should be there.

Hope this helps

Edit the mapscript/php3/Makefile and change anywhere you see 'gcc gcc' 
to 'gcc'.

Paul,

The documentation is not real clear, but according to the WMS Client
HowTo document you need some required parameters in the WMS Connection
String.  It looks like you are missing REQUEST, SRS, BBox, and
Transparent.  I don't know if these are musts, but the WMS connection
string below worked for me with DMSolutions WMS Server.

In answer to my own question: it appears that the WMS Client does not
like image/jpeg as a format at all. When using image/png, things work,
although the mapping from 24-8bit color is atrocious. Using image/gif
gives a perfectly reasonable result. I assume if the png was 8 bit the
results would be equally satisfactory.

Message-ID: <A35A461EBB6BD511859E0002A56B89CC02D76917@EXCORP03.corp.erac.com>

I am using data from MapInfo in MapServer 3.6, which is working great,
except the resulting maps aren't projected as I'd like them.  In simple
terms, they look squished.  My background is in development, not GIS.  I
will be the first to admit my GIS knowledge is rather limited.  My
understanding of projections is minimal.
 
This is what I see in the MapInfo TAB files:
"\Spatial Reference\Geographic\Projection" = ""
"\Spatial Reference\Geographic\Projection\Clause" = "CoordSys Earth
Projection 1, 0"
"\Spatial Reference\Geographic\Projection\Name" = "Longitude / Latitude"
"\Spatial Reference\Geographic\Coordinate Units" = "Decimal Degree"
"\Spatial Reference\Geodetic" = ""
"\Spatial Reference\Geodetic\Datum" = "na"
"\Spatial Reference\Geodetic\Ellipsoid" = "na"

Every layer is like this, so I simply identified each layer with
"proj=latlong" in the .map file.  I also identified the map as
"proj=latlong".  Using these settings, in MapServer I get a squished map.
When I open the same layers in MapInfo where I have them identified with a
projection of Latitude / Longitude they map perfectly (ala don't look
squished).
 
Every time I've defined the map with another projection, I end up looking at
a blank map.  I can't seem to figure out which projection I should be using.
I have created one map of Germany and one of Missouri, and both exhibit the
same problem.
 
Does anyone have experience using MapInfo tables that could shed some light
for a GIS newbie?
 
Thanks,

For all you PHP-MapScript folks (on windows)...

I just installed the latest Maguma Studio Light
(http://www.maguma.com/english/download.php) - this is the "new" PHP Coder -
and am pretty impressed. It's freeware. You can download a version bundled
with DBG (the PHP debugger written by Dmitri Dmitrienko).

The nicest thing I see so far is that you can set watches for your PHP
variables, and step through your code (just like in other IDEs). I've been
doing this manually with "echo" and "die" for a while, so this is a huge
step up for me. I don't know... maybe I could have been doing this all
along... anyway - hope some of you find it useful.

Unfortunately, the Maguma product seems to be totally windows based, but DBG
is not.

Cheers!

Nicolas, this is a great job!
I've got it all setup with mapserver 3.6, including WMS, GDAL (with ECW,
etc) and man it's great!
I'd love to have the ability to do a few setup questions that would ease
the setup.  I've already made a CD.  The only things I do is copy
virtual.cfg to c:\ then create my temp folder.  It rocks.

Thanks for sharing this.  I've already got two guys who are interested in
mapserver using it as a tutorial.  It's also sooooo simple to just send
them what I'm calling a "data plug-in" - a zipped up folder from my htdocs
folder that they can unzip (or put on CD for that matter) to update their
installation.

I'd love to get any of the other javascript applications running off it too
- like Rosa, gmap and php stuff.  Any ideas?  Or is it straight forward
enough?

Hi,

I have updated the site and now there are three archives, and one is
complete with the itasca demo. I have tested this on cd also.
This archive is tms_itasca.zip (the url describes this stuff)

http://zpro.maich.gr:20000/ro_demo/

This archive, as well as tms.zip is built from the latest 3.6 win
binaries, the ones that include postgres, wms, gdal etc...


My cd is on d:\. It is easy to change the c:\virtual.cfg file if your
cdrom is another drive. The mapserver.rc file contains server conf stuff
such as port, etc....

Anyway, it would be easy to set this up completely graphically, e.g
ask for the cdrom drive, what port you want etc... but I feel it is
already easy enough, and it seems that there was not much interest from
the ms list....

Note edit your itasca files to point to the correct paths (basic
mapserver stuff....


WRT to the subject line, I assume the reference is for ms not for
posgres to run off a cd???

Anyway, let me know..

Since I now compile up a seperate PHP as a CGI for Mapscript pages anyway,
compiling it to use system regex isn't a major drama. My regular PHP pages
continue to use the packaged PHP DSO.

And vim (Vi IMproved) has a syntax module for PHP.
(vim does a reasonable guess on .map files too)

Problem stems from building a Debian package for Mapscript/PHP. It needs 
to work with the already existing php4-cgi (that is compiled with the 
bundled regex). AFAIK there is no way for me to include a special 
php4-cgi binary to go along with the Mapscript/PHP package.

New version of my MapServer Debian packages are available. Main changes 
are that the mapserver-dev package is no more, but instead you get 
mapserver-utils which contains all the command line utilities built by 
mapserver. Also a few other bug fixes (to the package, not mapserver). 
Attached is the .changes file if you want to see it. Of course you can 
have access to these fine packages by adding these lines to your 
/etc/apt/sources.list file and apt-get as appropriate:

   deb http://paulbaker.net/debian pbaker main
   deb-src http://paulbaker.net/debian pbaker main

Any feedback would be most appreciated. Thanks!!

Nothing other than the man pages or docs that your locally installed regex library has. This can vary a little bit from system to system. For a good general reference I recommend the O'Reilly regular expressions book.

Assuming you're using the CGI version you *MUST* explicitly turn layers on using the layer or layers form variables if layers are not given a STATUS DEFAULT in the map file. The CGI application automatically turns all non-DEFAULT layers off when fired.

You have 3 options:

  - add a control to the web app to allow the user to toggle that layer
  - set STATUS DEFAULT
  - add a hidden variable like <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="MACPERCH">

If you're not using the CGI version then we need more information to help solve the problem.

Hi Folks
I have trouble to set up a mapservice with a oracle spatial layer. The 
setup in the mapfile (EXTENT, LAYER, TEMPLATE) is the same like the 
shapefile version and the shapefile has been uploaded with the oracle 
shapefile uploader for Oracle 9i. (shp2sdo) The are no error messages from 
mapserv(ORA... etc), but the map is still emty (blank). The shapefile 
version works fine and the logfiles are exactly the same ....
The mapserver (3.6)  works on a PII Linux system (SUSE 7.3) with Oracle 9i

Adam...

I haven't used regex in MS a great deal, but the syntax (as I think Steve
pointed out) is not unique to MapServer. I've found the following two
documents pretty useful. These are the Netscape JavaScript guide and
reference documents. They both have pretty decent sections on regular
expressions (go to the index)... and should get you started. Besides that,
they are great FREE JavaScript references too!

HTH!

Is there a regular expression syntax reference for mapserver out there
anywhere?

Hello,

I know of the Avenue Script that did an export from ArcView to MapFile ...

I was wondering has anyone done anything similar with the latest suite of
ArcGIS tools from ESRI ?

I'm curious about the possibility of using the VBA components and ArcObjects
to possibly do something similar, as well as add functionality (Such as
exporting symbols for example).

Has anyone here toyed around with this at all ? Or possibly converting .mxd
files to mapfiles ?

I'm not familiar with developping VB at all :(

One of the difficulties we have found with mapserver is that getting
debugging information usually involves the use of... a debugger! If
there was a run-time DEBUG ON directive (or even DEBUG INFO, DEBUG WARN,
DEBUG ERR, DEBUG OFF) in the map file, we could dump information to
STDERR (and thence to the Apache error_log) which would make it much
easer for users to track down where things are going awry. Failing that,
a global compile-time flag would be helpful. We are going to put in
compile-time support for debugging to stderr anyways, but run-time would
be nice too.

FYI there is already compile-time debug support in MapServer:

- Use msDebug() in your C code to generate debugging messages
- Configure MapServer using --enable-debug
- Recompile and your debug messages will end up in the Apache error_log

I know DMTI Spatial has some good street data for Canada, but they
are a little pricey for my customer..  I haven't found ANYTHING

No good reason except order of priorities I guess... we discussed this
with Dave and Steve back in January and I think we agreed that a debug
flag at the map level would be a good idea, see the full thread at:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0201/msg00195.html

I think it didn't happen yet simply because it was never a high enough
priority for one of us to go ahead and implement this.  Personally I'm
happy with the compile-time debug flag, but I also think that proper
runtime debug support would be a welcome addition (if you volounteer ;)

No clue about Mexico.  About Canada, you are correct that DMTI and the
few others commercial alternatives are all very pricey.  However,
there's hope... NRCan has started making its 1:50k and 1:250k NTDB maps
available via WMS... not quite the same as having full control on a
local dataset, but can be an interesting option for sites that can't
afford the Cadillac.

I don't have the WMS server's URL in hand, and I'm not even sure if the
URL can be published (I'll follow-up on that next week), but you can see
a sample app that we launched last week and that uses it at:

English: http://www.trailpaq.ca/english/01_find_e/01_find_e.cfm
French:  http://www.trailpaq.ca/francais/01_find_f/01_find_f.cfm

The trails database is not fully populated yet, but there are a bunch of
interesting points in the Ottawa area.

This app uses data from a number of free sources at small scale
(GeoGratis, DCW, etc.) and when it gets to the 1:250k scale then it
starts fetching its maps from NRCan's WMS server with a little bit of
SLD manipulations and the user doesn't notice the difference... except
for the maps being slower to render, but not all servers can be as fast
as MapServer unfortunately...  ;-)

Message-ID: <3DFF131E4E6D2D4198CDD758F35A5353010ABB10@postoffice.GASAI.Com>

I am trying to figure out how to set up a WMS Client, and am experiencing
some difficulties.

Right now I have a very simple set up:

My WMS Server has ONE layer. The source is lat/long and the WMS Server map
definition is reprojecting to Wisconsin State Plane Central 83.

My WMS Client is only reading this one WMS Server, so it has the one layer
in it. IF I leave out the map file's projection section, and set my extent
to be the same as that used in the WMS Server's definition, it works fine.

However, as soon as I add a projection statement, something hangs... the
page just keeps trying to load, and nothing ever comes up. If I STOP, I find
that I have a PHP.exe task running, and I can't kill it (even using kill.exe
-f).

In either case, if I look in the tmp directory, images are being created
(102347253024720.img.tmp). The images show what I'd expect them to show. IF
I set the projection on the client, I also get a file by the same name,
albeit with a *.wld extension. This makes sense as it's trying to reproject
/ warp the image I imagine.

Anyway, I can't seem to figure out what's going on. Why would tring to
project on the client make things hang?

Client mapfile below. My setup is Win2K, IIS, PHP MapScript 3.5(6?) with PHP
4.1.2

FWIW, the PHP part is pretty simple:

  $map = ms_newMapObj("wms_client.map");
  $img = $map->draw();
  $url = $img->saveWebImage(MS_PNG, $map->transparent, $map->interlace, 50);
  printf("<IMG SRC=%s\n", $url);

TIA...

Right, but there is no way to do that in a Debian package. Not without 
horribly breaking Debian Policy anyway.

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20020607135248.025dc0b8@mail.GreenwoodMap.com>

I think there was some discussion of this a week or two ago - When using 
OVERLAYSYMBOL the legend does not always show the overlay symbol correctly, 
only the base symbol. I find that if the OVERLAYCOLOR is set to 255 255 
255, that while it is drawn correctly on the map, the legend displays the 
overlay symbol as transparent. The work-around is pretty easy: use 254 254 
254 for the overlay color.  Obviously, you will only detect this if your 
legend is set to transparent on. And it is possible that this behavior is 
peculiar to my map file.

Back in late February when I first try to get mapserver to work with Oracle (8.1.7i) I had connect problem.  I don't recall if the error message is exactly the same as yours.  I ended up add the following lines in my Apache web server configuration file for the Oracle connect to be successful:

<IfModule mod_env.c>
SetEnv ORACLE_SID gisdb
SetEnv ORACLE_HOME /opt/oracle/product/9.0.1
</IfModule>

The file I modifid was commonhttpd.conf it may be different for you.  I'm not sure if this solves your problem or not but if you're running out of solutions this won't hurt.

I've a question about some custom annotation.. And I am hoping someone
might have some ideas...  

At certain mapscales, I'd like to display a state/province name
annotated with spacing between the letters, like you might seen
on printed cartographic maps...  ie.  A L B E R T A
or: P E N N S Y L V A N I A

This isn't something I want to hardcode into the data, but it
would be a nice feature to have a keyword (charspacing) or some
such to accomplish the task.  Probably a knarly task, but I 
will throw the idea out there anyway...  

Regards,

Chris

Subject: [mapserver-users] Values from Db not appearing on Map
Message-ID: <OFDB3979B3.A2356CEE-ON65256BD2.002AE37D@eq-technologic.com>


Hello,
     I am using MapServer PHP MapScript Module, which i picked from
DMSolutions site.
     I am trying to display points on the map from a db. Atmost only one
value appears on
     the map and that also not always.

     Is there any problem with scale factor? Is it not possible to have a
layer without
     any shapefile as data and just displaying labels?

     My map file looks like this:

     $points[$i] = $row;

I would think this could be done with mapscript. I'm just thinking
outloud here, but if you created a layer that had the definition of how
you wanted your labels rendered, then in mapscript if you are in that
layer's min-max range, you could query the polygon shapefile given the
mapextents and get a list of the polygons. You would need to get the
point to place the label, then fetch the NAME attribute. In Perl:

my $newname = join(" ", split(//, $oldname));

will convert "PENNSYLVANIA"  to  "P E N N S Y L V A N I A"

then just draw the label using the layer's definition. I know this
sounds like a lot of work, but I think it is pretty straight forward
unless I am missing something.

Bob,

Check the definition of $(CC) there is a know bug on some platforms
where CC= gcc gcc  or CC= cc cc 
just edit the Makefile and remove the duplicate cc or gcc

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem: Transparent polygon with outline
Message-ID: <m3r8jgqgh4.fsf@gemini.local>

Hi list,

I am trying to render the following layer definition:

LAYER NAME l2
  DATA "/data/muc/shapes_ms/bezirk_96"

  CLASSITEM "Area"

  CLASS NAME "transparent"
    SYMBOL 0
    SIZE 5   
    COLOR -1 -1 -1
    OVERLAYSYMBOL line0
    OVERLAYOUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
    OVERLAYSIZE 3.00000000000000
  END # class
  TYPE polygon
END # layer l2

It is a polygon shape, which should be rendered outline only. I know I
could change the type, but assuming a multi-class layer with
transparent and non transparent classes, this wouldn't help.
Crazy thing is, the legend image shows the outline (with 3.6), so I am
really puzzled

Anyone knowing an explanation or workaround - or should I file it as 
a bug?

Markus

I don't think there is problem in demo_init.html but in the mapfile :
SHADESET (6) means there is problem on the 6th line of your map file or on
the 6th line of your shade set file, don't remember which one.
MAybe you supplied illegal keywords in the files.

Hi,

I noticed we are missing links to the demos for version 3.4 and 3.5 from
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html

If you need the 3.5 demo I have placed a copy that I downloaded here
http://iMapTools.com/downloads/itasca-35demo.tar.gz

Would add links so we have a complete set. Thanks.

Was a 3.4 demo ever made or did it run with the 3.3 demo? If it uses the
3.3 demo then put a note like "Uses 3.3 Demo" so people aren't confused.

Many thanks,
  -Steve

Hi,

I am trying to include 80 aerial photographs.  The size of each of the 
photos is circa 25 MB.  I converted them from 24 bit jpg pictures to 8 
bit tif images with image alchemy.  When I include one of the pictures 
in the mapping file the image is in a pretty good quality.  When I 
include five or more pictures, the quality of the pictures deteriorates. 
 I get white and gray pixels in the images where they don't belong.  It 
almost looks like the red channel is missing.  When I view the pictures 
in Corel Photo paint, the colors seem to be all right.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks,

Iris

I'm assuming what Chris wants is control over the tracking between characters, or perhaps even enough control to allow text to "fill" a feature. There are kludges as suggested by Steve, but I think this warrants a more formal feature request, so we don't loose it. Chris would so be so kind as to add this to Bugzilla?

I would think this could be done with mapscript. I'm just thinking
outloud here, but if you created a layer that had the definition of how
you wanted your labels rendered, then in mapscript if you are in that
layer's min-max range, you could query the polygon shapefile given the
mapextents and get a list of the polygons. You would need to get the
point to place the label, then fetch the NAME attribute. In Perl:

my $newname = join(" ", split(//, $oldname));

will convert "PENNSYLVANIA"  to  "P E N N S Y L V A N I A"

then just draw the label using the layer's definition. I know this
sounds like a lot of work, but I think it is pretty straight forward
unless I am missing something.

Message-ID: <sd04868d.068@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

David: Itemquery is not purely based on attributes. There is a rectangular filter applied first based on a map extent that you supply as part of the query or the default stored in the map file. If you're not passing anything then you need to define a large enough default extent in your map file. Typically that is set to cover your application area.

Dear All,

I am trying to use an "itemquery" to open a Mapserver map
zoomed in to the extent of a region chosen from a list of region names. I am using version 3.5 of Mapserver.

I keep getting the following message:

msQueryByAttributes(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s) found, layer and area of interest do not overlap. 

This indicates that the region chosen does not exist, though other query types work fine.

I would be grateful if anyone could suggest what I am doing wrong or where I can find some example template and  .map files which do the same thing.  I found the Itemquery Test Suite site, this looks straightforward but seems to be using an older version of Mapserver.

Thanks.

It sounds like each of the images is using a different color lookup
table and when you combine multiple images you run out of color lookup
table entries in mapserver. If you can get image alchemy to used the
same color table for all the images then this problem will probably go
away. Some of the other image gurus on the list might have some other
ideas.

Iris,

Are these "tiled" images - i.e. do the 80 images represent a geographic area
that is split up into 80 images. Or, are these 80 independent images - e.g.
annual pictures of the same area for 80 years.

If they are tiled images, have you tried to display them using the TILEINDEX
feature? This might result in better performance. Check out:

My guess is that your photos use different 256 color palettes. As you add 
more and more of them, mapserver has to choose which colors from the photos 
to include in its final 256 color palette. Mapserver's choices when 
downsampling colors are not notably good.  The short term hack is to try and 
recreate all your photoes with exactly the same palette.  The longer term one 
is to wait for Frank to finish his 24-bit retrofit, which should kill all 
these problems once-and-for-all (hoorah!!).

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapplet and Browsers
Message-ID: <3D04E542.5010406@i3.com>

Greetings Mapplet users:

I was wondering about peoples experience with use of the Mapplet with 
different browsers.

I have been developing a new site.  Currently only available on our 
internal network.  But I have found that I am having problems with 
various Browsers hanging with use of the Mapplet applet.  Now it may 
simply be issues of browser configuration/maturity but I was wondering 
what other peoples experience is.

IE 5.0.1 on Windows 2000 - Works
Mozilla 1.0 release candidate 3 on Windows 2000 - Hangs
Netscape 4.77 on Windows 2000 - Applet runs but does not load maps
Netscape 6.2 on Windows 2000 - Hangs

Mozilla 1.0 release candidate 3 on Linux - Hangs (Message is: Allocating 
more space for read msg 816 )
Netscape 4.77.1 on Linux - Works
Netscape 6.2.3 on Linux - Hangs  (Message is: Allocating more space for 
read msg 806  )
Konqueror 2.1.1 on Linux - Fails with exceptions (see below)

The reason I bring this up is if I run against another applet like the 
one at
http://www.crh.noaa.gov/radar/loop/DS.p19r0/si.kftg.shtml
Most everything works fine

IE 5.0.1 on Windows 2000 - Works Fine
Mozilla 1.0 release candidate 3 on Windows 2000 - Works Fine
Netscape 4.77 on Windows 2000 - Works Fine
Netscape 6.2 on Windows 2000 - Works Fine

Mozilla 1.0 release candidate 3 on Linux - Works Fine
Netscape 4.77.1 on Linux - Works Fine
Netscape 6.2.3 on Linux - Works Fine
Konqueror 2.1.1 on Linux - Runs applet does not display images

Now I tried hitting the Landview site also, and it has similar 
problems.  This is not surprising since I was using there compilation of 
the mapplet. 

I went to the MapServer web site and downloaded the mapplet.zip file 
from the Utilities section and installed class files in the web server 
but did not get any better results.  I am currently unable to compile 
them since I do not have the javascript package.  But I wonder if that 
is not where the problem is.  Below is the Java Console Output form the 
Konqueror web browser.  The ClassFormatErrors occur right before it 
hangs up.  That has to do with the Javascript Object libraries.

Has anyone else been having or working on these problems?  Any input 
would be appreciated.

Iris,

Mapserver has two different raster input handlers, the 'native' mapserver 
one, and GDAL. Which are you using? Generally, using JPEGs for input is 
discouraged. You may be running out of colors in your color palette. 
Ideally, you'd convert all of your images to the same 8 bit color palette, 
and it doesn't hurt to leave a few empty colors in the  palette, and/or 
order the color palette by frequency of color occurrence.

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0206101332170.8767-100000@Titan.ERC.MsState.Edu>

hi,
I'm trying to set the color for each class in php mapscript.
This is the code:
... unnecessary code removed
   $tmp = $map->getLayerByName($layer[$l]);
   if ($tmp->status ==  0) {
      $tmp->set("status", "1");
   }
   $tmp->getMetaData("Colors");
   for($c = 0; $c < count($tmp->numclasses); $c++) {
      $cl = $tmp->getClass($c);
      $cl->set("color", "30 10 255");
      echo $cl->color;
   }

I got my browser to echo out some other properties of the class obj. but
the color isn't set, looked up the archives same ques. was posted by Vinko
but didn't see any reply.
It just echoes the first no. 30 but in the map nothing is colored.
Anyone knows the ans. please reply.

I don't know if two hoorahs are better than one, but I'll add my "hoorah" 
for 24-bit support.  I don't mind the manipulation of the color palette all 
that much, but I use ECW images a lot and have found the color ones 
unusable because of lack of 24-bit color. So I end up serving grayscale 
imagery with ECW, and color imagery with TIFFs.

Kent -

I'm not sure I understand exactly what the "background" you're referring to is, but the OFFSITE keyword requires an indexed TIF image with pixels whose index value is exactly the value provided by OFFSITE.  If you are leaving some pixel values "undefined" (rather than initializing everything to your OFFSITE color) then the non-image pixels may just be filled with trash that's dependent on your image-processing software, the phase of the moon, and the odds of the Red Sox winning the pennant.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapplet and Browsers
Message-ID: <sd04d2e1.063@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

The mapplet is a totally different class of applet then the NOAA one. The NOAA applet is simply an animation control, nothing fancy (works nice though). Mapplet relies on a mechanism called "LiveConnect" that allows communication between java and the browser (via javascript). The mapplet is really stupid. It's simply reporting mouse positions to the HTML form, that's pretty much it and it's LiveConnect that allows this simplicity. Unfourtunately LiveConnect support is spotty, but should be getting better since it is part of the W3C standard for ECMAScript. In my experience:

  - MSIE 4.0+ work with a non-braindead JVM on Windows
  - Netscape 4.0 works (with the exception of 4.60) on Windows and Unix/Linux
  - Netscape 6+ does not work, which sucks since Netscape came up with the LiveConnect API
  - I've not tested Mozilla although the most recent versions of the Javascript code should support it according to the documents at the Mozilla website
  - Other browsers? Who knows...

Mac users are out of luck too, no LiveConnect support has ever existed for Mac browsers.

All of this is about par for higher end applications. Nothing like this works everywhere... *sigh*

Greetings Mapplet users:

I was wondering about peoples experience with use of the Mapplet with 
different browsers.

I have been developing a new site.  Currently only available on our 
internal network.  But I have found that I am having problems with 
various Browsers hanging with use of the Mapplet applet.  Now it may 
simply be issues of browser configuration/maturity but I was wondering 
what other peoples experience is.

IE 5.0.1 on Windows 2000 - Works
Mozilla 1.0 release candidate 3 on Windows 2000 - Hangs
Netscape 4.77 on Windows 2000 - Applet runs but does not load maps
Netscape 6.2 on Windows 2000 - Hangs

Mozilla 1.0 release candidate 3 on Linux - Hangs (Message is: Allocating 
more space for read msg 816 )
Netscape 4.77.1 on Linux - Works
Netscape 6.2.3 on Linux - Hangs  (Message is: Allocating more space for 
read msg 806  )
Konqueror 2.1.1 on Linux - Fails with exceptions (see below)

The reason I bring this up is if I run against another applet like the 
one at
http://www.crh.noaa.gov/radar/loop/DS.p19r0/si.kftg.shtml 
Most everything works fine

IE 5.0.1 on Windows 2000 - Works Fine
Mozilla 1.0 release candidate 3 on Windows 2000 - Works Fine
Netscape 4.77 on Windows 2000 - Works Fine
Netscape 6.2 on Windows 2000 - Works Fine

Mozilla 1.0 release candidate 3 on Linux - Works Fine
Netscape 4.77.1 on Linux - Works Fine
Netscape 6.2.3 on Linux - Works Fine
Konqueror 2.1.1 on Linux - Runs applet does not display images

Now I tried hitting the Landview site also, and it has similar 
problems.  This is not surprising since I was using there compilation of 
the mapplet. 

I went to the MapServer web site and downloaded the mapplet.zip file 
from the Utilities section and installed class files in the web server 
but did not get any better results.  I am currently unable to compile 
them since I do not have the javascript package.  But I wonder if that 
is not where the problem is.  Below is the Java Console Output form the 
Konqueror web browser.  The ClassFormatErrors occur right before it 
hangs up.  That has to do with the Javascript Object libraries.

Has anyone else been having or working on these problems?  Any input 
would be appreciated.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Setting a map extent for point data (phpmapscript)
Message-ID: <000c01c210d1$2a956bc0$9600000a@atsencehome1xp>

Hi List,
I have a zip code point dataset on which I would like to perform a text
search via a form.
The search works out fine but I just cannot seem to be able to give the
projected map a good map_extent (see snippett).
Believe me I tried quite some options but you can probably tell me the
one I missed out on.
 
I tried to do the following to have say 1000 x 1000 meter extend around
the location of the zip point.
 
<?
 
$distance = 1000;                 // <--change this 
$minx = ( [XCOORD] ) - $ distance;
$miny = ( [YCOORD] ) - $ distance;
$maxx = ( [XCOORD] ) + $ distance;
$maxy = ( [YCOORD] ) + $ distance;
$map->SetExtent( $minx, $miny, $maxx, $maxy );
 
?>
 
sure  the php is not touched when passed through the cgi.. But now I
wonder how I could perform calculations like these..
 
Another option I tried:
 
 
<img
src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=[map]&item=zip&value=[value2]&mode=itemqueryma
p&mapext=shapes&map_extent=shapes" height="300" width="300"></td>
 
or
 
<td><img
src="/cgi-bin/atms?map=[map]&item=Pc6nr&value=[value]&mode=itemquerymap&
mapext=[mapext]" height="300" width="300"></td>
 
The bottom line I did not succeed in dynamically adjusting the
mapextent. Sorry..
Help would be really appreciated.
 
Thanx,
Bart
 
(I am still working with the (old) MS 3.5 and RH7.0 php3.x, as I got
really frustrated in trying to make 3.6 and php4.x & RH7.3 to be friends
and never got an answer how to get it to work. The only comfort being
that I am apparently not the only one out there.)

Below is some working code I used when I wrote my mapplet based client.  It
worked for me with versions 3.5 and 3.6 of the Windows binary.  I abandoned
it for a Rosa version.  Most of the JavaScript I found on the Wiki, and
can't take credit for.  I've only made a few minor improvements.  For images
I used the ones from the Rosa distro.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Detailed instructions for MapServer 3.6 on RH7.2
Message-ID: <3D053B71.748892F8@dmsolutions.ca>

Hi,

I have added a page to the Wiki with detailed instructions for setting
up MapServer 3.6 and PHP MapScript on a RH7.2 server, starting from a
brand new box with only the default RH7.2 stuff on it. I had to make
lots of editing to make my notes fit in the Wiki format, so hopefully I
didn't delete or break any of the important stuff:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptRH72

I've also tried to include explanations for some of the little quirks,
mostly related to PHP, GD, and Freetype on RH7.x that give all of us
lots of headaches... so users of other Linuxes might find interesting
answers to their questions in there as well.

Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.44.0206102152500.6793-100000@Titan.ERC.MsState.Edu>

I am stuck, not able to set a class obj's color in mapscript,
code:
   for($c = 0; $c < count($tmp->numclasses); $c++) {
      echo "class index $c";
      $cl1 = $tmp->getClass($c);
      $cl1->set("color", "255 0 0");
   }

relevant portion of .map file:
LAYER ....
....
   CLASSITEM 'Total'
   CLASS
     EXPRESSION ([Total] GT 40000)
     NAME "Biloxi"
     OUTLINECOLOR 128 128 128
     COLOR 255 0 15
   END
   CLASS

     NAME "Picayune"
     OUTLINECOLOR 128 128 128
     COLOR 25 0 250
   END

END #layer ends

I've 2 classes defin. for this layer, when I do echo statements I see
the code is executed only for the 1st class, that too unsuccessful, i.e.
neither the class appears in 255 0 15 nor in 255 0 0
while the second class Picayune displays correctly in 25 0 250 shade.

If anyone knows please reply. Thanks,

The 'color' class member in MapScript is a color index... so try this:
   
  $cl1->set("color", $map->addColor(255, 0, 0));

Thanks Daniel,
That was careless of me. Anyway got that part working but another problem
by this code is also very difficult to find:

   $cl = array();
   for($c = 0; $c < count($tmp->numclasses); $c++) {  // 2 classes in .map
      $cl[$c]= $tmp->getClass($c);
      echo "class index $c";
      $status = $cl[$c]->set("color", $map->addColor(255, 0, 0));
   }

This code executes only once, browser displays echo statem. only once,
the second layer must also be red but it doesn't change, I don't know if
this is a php problem or mapscript is causing it to jump out of for loop.

You used:
   for($c = 0; $c < count($tmp->numclasses); $c++) 

$tmp->numclasses is an integer representing the number of classes, so
you shouldn't call count() on it... count() on a single integer always
returns 1 it seems.

Instead, simply use:
   for($c = 0; $c < $tmp->numclasses; $c++)

Well it is still not working i got the  itasca3.5 demo
the  demo_init produces this on mac osX
msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined symbol 
"symbols/ctyhwy.gif" in class 0 of layer roads.

and demo.html produces
msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. Illegal mapfile name.

This tmp directory has to have write permissions but for who? i gave it
user www rwx group www rwx  others r x
maybe i need user nobody i dont't know how httpd deals with its www 
documents?

John...

By far the best place to start is with the instructions on the web site.

Go to http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/ .... there you will find a whole
host of instructions on how to install MapServer, some demos, how to
compile... there are even pre-compiled binaries for windows.

Just jump in! There's a lot of information there... I think most of us just
spent a day or two wading through all of the material on the web site,
searching the e-mail archives, etc...

Get the demo up and running, then start substituting your data sets in...
and then you will find limitless things to tinker with.

Cheers!

Chip Hankley

When I try to itemquery a Postal Code layer, I get:
msQueryByAttributes(): Query error. Requested layer has no filter defined. 
 
My URL looks like this:
http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=d%3A%5CMapServer%5CMAPFiles%5CMOMap.

I've included the layer definition at the bottom of this email.  I don't
understand.  Why do I need a filter?  What filter do I need?  I've read
everything about this I could find before asking you, but the documentation
on FILTER is very brief, and the mail archives didn't provide a solution.  I
should point out that I'm using OGR MapInfo TAB data.
 
Thanks in advance,

Message-ID: <3D0607AF.2080107@pobox.com>

Folks,

Just to warn you all, the CVS tree has been updated by me with my first
pass work on support for OUTPUTFORMATs (part of the GD2.0 / 24bit) work.

Some information on this work can be found at:

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OutputFormat

I would strongly encourage you to avoid using MapServer from CVS for a while,
but if you want to please let me know of problems you encounter.

In a change unrelated to the OUTPUTFORMAT work I have added a setup.py in the
mapscript/python directory along with a very brief README on how to use it to
build Python MapScript.  I have successfully built this but the process is
still a little hairy.

Best regards,

I don't know, it is just seemed to be a common sense solution to your
problem. Glad it worked out.

Hello all,
I'm a new greenhorn to Mapserver and would like to know where the best step
by step instructions are for implementing mapserver with shape files.
Perhaps even an install all download?

Frank,

  I read your Wiki doc.  Looks good!

Any thoughts on JPEG2000 (especially wavelet) support and a FORMATOPTION
relating to compression for geotiff?

Do you think there is a requirement for 1-bit IMAGEMODE?  We've noticed an
increase in demand for geo-referencing (and viewing/"web publishing") of
scanned drawings.

Brent,

All GDAL file creation options can be applied via the FORMATOPTION keyword,
so this includes GDAL's capability to apply compression.  Last night I tested
this by adding 'FORMATOPTION "COMPRESS=PACKBITS"' in a GeoTIFF OUTPUTFORMAT
definition and it worked fine.

I have looked at a JPEG 2000 library and would eventually like to incorporate
it into GDAL at which point it would then also be supported by MapServer;
however, I haven't had any funding for such work.  Also, I believe the
JPEG 2000 library in question is fairly slow at compressing so it would put
quite a load on a web map server.

I haven't run into much of this myself, but it could in theory be added into
GDAL.  Likely this would be done as an 'IMAGEMODE PC256' where only 2 of the
256 possible colours are actually utilized and then output through GDAL to
GeoTIFF or something similar with FORMATOPTIONS forcing it to 1bit, perhaps
even using CCITT (fax) compression.

If someone whats this badly please let me know.  I would be willing to
incorporate the GDAL side support if someone will do the testing.

Best regards,

Thanks for the quick reply.
 
Please forgive me, I'm fairly new at this.  I'm not clear on two things.  I
assume when you say "your item", the item is the DBASE item?  And second,
how can I set the FILTER in the mapfile to the value, when the value is to
be entered by the user?

J.F.,

It should be but is not currently.  However, the new Flash output that Assefa
is working on has been updated to use the OUTPUTFORMAT mechanism.

If the author of mappdf.c is interested in updating to operate off the
OUTPUTFORMAT mechanism, I would suggest he look at how the SWF stuff works,
and operate similarly.

Tough one. This might work:

END

then in your layer:

Looks like we need to be able to OFFSET features. Hmmm...

Hoi Bart,

Maybe too obvious, but is there a space between $ and distance in your
original script? In your mail there is a space,...:
$minx = ( [XCOORD] ) - $ distance;

>From the top of my head you have to 'get' your cgi-value into
php-environment.

Try the following (not tested):

global $XCOORD;
global $YCOORD;
$distance = 1000;
$minx $XCOORD - $distance;
$miny = $YCOORD - $distance;
$maxx = $XCOORD + $distance;
$maxy = $YCOORD + $distance;
$map->SetExtent( $minx, $miny, $maxx, $maxy );

Cheers,

Hi List,
I have a zip code point dataset on which I would like to perform a text
search via a form.
The search works out fine but I just cannot seem to be able to give the
projected map a good map_extent (see snippett).
Believe me I tried quite some options but you can probably tell me the
one I missed out on.

I tried to do the following to have say 1000 x 1000 meter extend around
the location of the zip point.
 
<?

$distance = 1000;                 // <--change this 
$minx = ( [XCOORD] ) - $ distance;
$miny = ( [YCOORD] ) - $ distance;
$maxx = ( [XCOORD] ) + $ distance;
$maxy = ( [YCOORD] ) + $ distance;
$map->SetExtent( $minx, $miny, $maxx, $maxy );

?>
 
sure  the php is not touched when passed through the cgi.. But now I
wonder how I could perform calculations like these..

Another option I tried:


<img
src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=[map]&item=zip&value=[value2]&mode=itemqueryma
p&mapext=shapes&map_extent=shapes" height="300" width="300"></td>

or

<td><img
src="/cgi-bin/atms?map=[map]&item=Pc6nr&value=[value]&mode=itemquerymap&
mapext=[mapext]" height="300" width="300"></td>

The bottom line I did not succeed in dynamically adjusting the
mapextent. Sorry..
Help would be really appreciated.

Thanx,
Bart

(I am still working with the (old) MS 3.5 and RH7.0 php3.x, as I got
really frustrated in trying to make 3.6 and php4.x & RH7.3 to be friends
and never got an answer how to get it to work. The only comfort being
that I am apparently not the only one out there.)

I have a list of layers (~30 or more), I need to display only certain
classes in each of these. There doesn't seem to be a criteria defined by
my client, just a word file containing the names.

Static:
Pasting the names of the classes in each layer in the .map file seems
boring, i.e. in cities layer he wants 30 cities to be displayed.
LAYER cities

CLASS1
CLASS2
...
CLASS30

END

similarly for all layers

Dynamic:
I can take the layer name and look it up in a text file which contains the
city names and then create all the classes in a loop:
for(no. of cities in the text file) {
   create new class obj.
   set attributes
}

Would the 1st approach be faster, I think in the 2nd approach the classes
will be created each time a user zooms in or adds more classes, please

Hi

I am on Mandrake 8.1. I have compiled MapServer 3.6 and got the simple cgi demo working. I am now having a serious headache trying to get php_mapscript to work - I'd be grateful for help.

It compiles fine, against a php 4.2.1 source directory. I had to modify the "CC" flag in the Makefile there are two "cc"s in it, but I found the answer to this one on the mail archives. I then also got this error 
cc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic-Wl'

but I just put a space in there betweem rdynamic-Wl and it seems to go OK. Now, I am not a C programmer so this has taken some time to sort out. 

Anyway, I put the php_mapscript.so into the correct place but when I hit the test page, nothing comes back and I see an error in my Apache error_log
[Tue Jun 11 22:52:14 2002] [notice] child pid 11968 exit signal Segmentation fault (11). I know the .so is in the correct place because the first time I tried the page, I got the phpinfo stuff and a warning that the .so could not be found.

I see that someone else had the same problem in May 2000 but there was nothing in a follow up thread. 

So what can I do now ?

I have read the DM Solutions FAQ which is generally useful but since I don't know whether my PHP was compiled with DSO or whether Apache was compiled with -DEAPI its difficult to know what to do with my -rdynamic flags !! I'm just a simple guy who installed from the Mandrake CD !! I have tried with and without the apxs flag but it made no difference (Which involved an install of Apache development - more effort and time !).

Why is it not possible to supply the .so for the most common platforms ? This would save a lot of people a lot of time.

Thanks

Chris

It is still the same demo map the first query from the demo_init.html is 
quit simple-->

Could anyone give me a hint on this

Chris,

Unfortunately the FAQ on our website dates from the PHP3 days and lots
of the information in there may not apply to the current version... I
posted detailed instructions to compile PHP MapScript 3.6 on RH7.2 in
the MapServer Wiki yesterday... hopefully you'll find some answers to
some of your questions in there:
 
 http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptRH72

Try removing the square brackets around the path to the mapfile.

I saw some posting a couple months back about using a 24bit gdal source and
the mapserver offsite.  I don't have the option to convert to another
format (i.e. with alpha channels).  Has anyone come up with any other work
around?

Hello again

Thanks for the notes, Daniel. They are really useful to me.

Anyway, since my email, I downloaded PHP 4.0.6 and ran the same configure/make sequence that I had been doing on 4.2.1. I just hit my test page and I can see the mapscript extension in the phpinfo !!!

It works and I'm so happy ! 

Thanks

Chris

Message-ID: <OFDFA2825C.2DBD675D-ON88256BD5.0082A458@LocalDomain>

Is anyone successfully forwarding http requests from an external apache
server to an internal machine, based on a sub-folder URL.  I.e.
http://myserver.com/index.html would be requested from the main server, but
http://myserver.com/mapserver/ would redirect to an internal server.  There
was a bit of discussion on this last week and the term proxy was used, but
I fail to see how this applies.  I'm specifically looking for some apache
suggestions.
Anyone?

This takes external connections to the /twig directory and passes them

Pushkar,

Off hand is seems like you are approaching the problem from the wrong
direction, IE there is a different way to solve the problem. Only I'm
having trouble understanding how you data is organized.

For example, if I want to display cities I have a cities.shp file that
has the point locations of the cities and the name as an attribute. Then
I make a layer to display and label the cities. If I want different
symbols for say population then I set a a CLASS ITEM "POPULATION" and
set up CLASSes with EXPRESSIONs to display different symbols or circle
sizes based on the expression.

So what does your data look like and what do you wnat to do with it.
Clearly as you posted you don't want to declare 30 some classes.

Data organiz.:
city_bounds.shp
One of the Attributes is Place_name
I know I can use a criteria like POPULATION > 50K and POPULATION <= 50K
I hope the client's specs. were like this but he has specified particular
city names,
rivers.shp: some random rivers to be drawn. Moreover all these must be
done in different colors, e.g. each river in new color.
Thus I defined each city he wants in the .map file as a diff. class, but
the COLOR values etc. I set them in mapscript.
I hope that's a reasonable approach?

P.S.: The data that the client wants displayed is just random not based on
any criteria.

Well if the customer just wants random stuff then you are stuck with
creating random classes to support it. You could set CLASS ITEM
"Place_name" and match the names or dynamically create the classes as
you suggested via mapscript. Sounds like you have a handle on it.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem with Rosa Distance Measuremt tool
Message-ID: <02e501c211f0$003e47a0$0601a8c0@comai.loc>

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Rosa Applet Distance Measurement tool but I have a
problem when I try to set the PIXEL_SIZE parameter.

I'm using mapserver with templates file and javascript.

How can I modify dynamically this parameter with javascript?

I tried to insert the javascript code inside the applet tag

<script ....

    document.write("<parameter .....   value="+ myvariable +" ......");

</script>

but this script is ignored by the browser

and I can't access the parameters with

document.applets["myapplet"].pixel_size.value = the_value

My conclusion:

I can do this only with PHP. Is this true?

Stefano

together into 1 big one, and build a .qix index instead of a tile
index.

thanks,

Subject: [mapserver-users] GDAL and binary Tiffs
Message-ID: <200206120948.LAA14112@efferd.nettz.com>

Hi all,

with recent versions of the mapserver Win executables there is GDAL
included. This causes binary Tiffs with G4 compression to be displayed
completely distorted. Is it possible to have Tiffs interpreted by
default with the standard Tiff option (not GDAL) but keeping GDAL for
other formats like ECW?

Probably there are no Win binaries available for such very special
requirements...

Subject: [mapserver-users] Using Mapserver from an ASP page
Message-ID: <B318FD8D29DCD411BD0500D0B7A91C67E4D270@jupiter>

With all the talk last week of trying to access the full mapserver
functionality from an ASP page and other non-mapscript enabled languages, I
took some of the thoughts from the group and developed a vbscripted asp
class that acts as a proxy to mapserver so allows one to embed the
functionality of a mapserver map in an asp page.  The next best thing to
being able to use ASP as a template.

Here are some examples of it in use - they are still a bit buggy since it
was more of an experiment than anything.

http://66.95.168.133/mapserv/dnd/htdocs/TestMap.asp

This is a more complicated use of it - which integrates with a full blown
asp db page from an external server 
http://www.cityofboston.com/dnd/REMSfind/PropDetailMPTest.asp?ParcelID=11022
46000

(It uses ServerXMLHttp (which usually comes with the IIS install or is
freely available from Microsoft site) to call mapserv cgi and return the
results, but this can be substituted with AspTear etc.)

If anyone is interested in the code, you can download it from here
http://66.95.168.133/mapserv/dnd/htdocs/TestASPMap.zip

I'm not sure that is is considered very good practice to mix the 'native' 
image handling and the GDAL image handling in one binary, but I did compile 
one that does just that, which you are welcome to try:

Hi,

I think "MINSIZE" only refers to labels and symbols, not layers. Does your
shapefile have an area field? If so, you could set an expression in your
class definition to only show polygons whose area was greater than some
number.

So, your layer definition would be:

LAYER
  NAME LAKE
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS On
  DATA "eu/eu_See"
  CLASSITEM 'AREA'  #or whatever the fieldname is...
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION ([AREA] >= 3250) #or whatever your threshold is...
    NAME "Lakes"
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 128
    COLOR 209 209 255
  END
END

Hi:

I'm wondering about the regular expression syntax used by the MapServer.
Is it same as the regular expression syntax on UNIX or for Perl or TCL ...?
Or does it have its own syntax, if so would it be possible to have some documentation on the syntax used?

Thanks,

I don't think MINSIZE does what you expect it to do. It is used for:
MINSIZE [integer]
Minimum size in pixels to draw a symbol. Default is 0.

I'm not sure that MINSIZE is intended to work that way.

Does your data 'eu/eu_See' happen to have an acreage or size attribute attached to it that you could use to filter out the smaller lakes?

Rich,

Thanks very much for the download site. It worked well, only the ECW images
are not drawn correctly any more when going beyond a higher scale.

I read in a posting of Frank Warmerdam that the support for 24 bit Tiffs is
planned for future releases. Therefore a question: Will it be possible to use
24 bit Tiffs and binary compressed Tiffs together? This happens to be
necessary when combining aereal photos with scanned black and white (binary)
topographic maps. I know that this is probably not a very often appearing
situation for most users.

Thanks to all for the answers. I think the "area" is not the solution
because
the size I mean is the zoomed size. On the map the lakes which are only
some pixels large are similar to dirty pixels. So I only want to show them
when they are zoomed in.

Armin,

The problem with ECW files is a flaw in GDAL.  It is on my list of things to
fix, but way down that list.  Feel free to kick me now and then if this is
important to you.

It is indeed possible to mix greyscale, paletted, and RGB TIFFs (and any
other GDAL supported raster format such as ECW files).

Note the support is already committed to CVS for the very brave to test.

Best regards,

Area could still work for you, because area * scale ~= pixels so for
example you could have a classitem of area then for each MIN/MAX SCALE
decide what the area cutoff is.

You could still do this (with Area) but define different layers and use the
MAXSCALE and MINSCALE option. So, you would have your small_scale layer,
your medium_scale layer, and your large_scale layer, or however many
different "pyramids" you want, all reading the same data set.

 LAYER
   NAME LAKE
   TYPE POLYGON
   MAXSCALE 1000000
   MINSCALE  500000
   STATUS On
   DATA "eu/eu_See"
   CLASSITEM 'AREA'  #or whatever the fieldname is...
   CLASS
     EXPRESSION ([AREA] >= 25000) #or whatever your threshold is...
     NAME "Lakes"
     OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 128
     COLOR 209 209 255
   END
 END

 LAYER
   NAME LAKE
   TYPE POLYGON
   MAXSCALE 500000
   MINSCALE  50000
   STATUS On
   DATA "eu/eu_See"
   CLASSITEM 'AREA'  #or whatever the fieldname is...
   CLASS
     EXPRESSION ([AREA] >= 10000) #or whatever your threshold is...
     NAME "Lakes"
     OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 128
     COLOR 209 209 255
   END
 END

... and so on. As long as the layer NAME is the same, passing "&layer=lake"
in the URL will affect ALL of the definitions - so the transition between
these different layers at different scales will be seamless.

Of course the most elegant option would be to use mapscript, then you could
figure out what an "acceptable" size was (say you want no lakes smaller than
10x10 pixels on the map). You could calculate, on the fly, based on your
extent, what this area would be, then dynamically set the value in
EXPRESSION based on your calculation.

Hello again

I've been looking at some imagery being generated via PHP Mapscript. On my imagery , jagged effects appear along some of the edges. The jagged version from MapServer is attached. Look along the road boundaries and the word "Briar Patch". Anyone know why this happens ? These effects don't appear when I view and zoom in and out of the source with ImageMagick. Here is the tiffinfo output. Note that I started with tiled Tifs and converted to stripped - I have played with different sized strips.

TIFF Directory at offset 0x1255d6
  Image Width: 3500 Image Length: 3500
  Bits/Sample: 8
  Compression Scheme: PackBits
  Photometric Interpretation: palette color (RGB from colormap)
  FillOrder: msb-to-lsb
  Document Name: "Standard Input"
  Image Description: "converted PNM file"
  Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
  Samples/Pixel: 1
  Rows/Strip: 2
  Planar Configuration: single image plane
  Color Map: (present)

If anyone needs it, I can send the original one but I didn't want to waste too much bandwidth !

Thanks

Hi

I recently started looking into MapServer, and have MapServer 3.6/PostGIS 
running. Very nice !

I was looking at the Recreation Compass at 
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/compass.html and was wondering how they 
implemented the external info when clicking on certain features in the 
map. 

For example, on clicking one of the pink "Scientific & Natural Areas" I 
get a new browser window with Information/photos etc about "Lost River Peatland 
SNA" ... generally speaking, what is needed to achieve this ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Message-ID: <3D087825.2050500@schnegg.net>

Hi,

I have two questions.  First I am trying to define some new line styles. 
 I need something that looks like the following:

___|___|___|___

___|_|___|_|___|_|___

Is it possible to do something like that with Mapserver?  Can anybody 
help me out?

The second question concerns the STYLEITEM "AUTO" with Mapinfo Tabs.  Is 
it possible to display other symbols then the standard thirtysomthing 
MapInfo Symbols.  And how about linestyles and patterns?  Can one 
display different linestyles and patterns with the STYLEITEM "AUTO".

Thanks

Hi all,

 Does anyone know where the images created from a WMS Getmap request are
stored?  I am currently using WMS Version 1.1.0 and mapserver 3.5.  I have
checked the temp folder defined in the .map file but no images are being
created there.

Thanks,

Hi There

 You need to define TB_BUT_?_JSACTION with something like this :

        <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_pquery_INPUT" VALUE="auto_rect">
        <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_pquery_NAME\" VALUE="CMD">
       <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_pquery_VALUE" VALUE="QUERY_POINT">
      <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_pquery_JSACTION" VALUE="TestFunc('aaa')">

You need a Javascript function called TestFunc defined something like
function TestFunct(value)
{
  window.alert(value);
}

When the action is done using the button, instead of submitting the page, the
javascript function will be called.
Hope it hepls,

Later,

When MapServer is used as a WMS server, no temp file is created... the
image is returned directly to the client via standard output.

When MapServer is used as a WMS client (CONNECTIONTYPE WMS) then the
images downloaded from the remote WMS servers are temporarily stored in
the IMAGEPATH directory and they are deleted as soon as MapServer is
done with them, before the end of the DrawMap() call... that's why you
never see them.

Guillaume -

There should be some documentation on the ROSA applet that came with the
distribution, otherwise go to:

http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/webtools/rosa/rosa_params.html

The applet is not "doing" anything per se, except providing a convenient way
to pass information to the form. For instance, the applet does not handle
the zoom functionality for a MapServer or MapScript application... you have
to do that elsewhere. I've put an explanation on what each of these does
below. 
    
<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_IMG" VALUE="../MapSymbols/PrintOff.gif"> 
  - specifies the OFF image

<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_IMG_PR" VALUE="../MapSymbols/PrintOff.gif"> 
  - specifies the image to show when PRESSED

<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_HINT" VALUE="Print this Image"> 
  - optional, displays a hint on mouseover

<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_INPUT" VALUE="submit"> 
  - what to do when the user clicks on the button

<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_NAME" VALUE="CMD"> 
  - the form variable associated with this button

<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_VALUE" VALUE="PRINT"> 
  - the value to apply to the form variable

<PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_JSACTION" VALUE="fnxPrint()"> 
  - optional, the JS function to call when clicked

Note that your not seeing the full applet here... you might want to go to
the URL that I sent you before, and "view source" to see the whole thing. Or
go the the GMAP demo and do it there. Then you can see all of the pieces.

Chris -

This looks like an artifact of image scaling in the output image.  MapServer prudently uses a fast algorithm for scaling source input images to produce the output result.  If you ask for an output image whose pixel resolution (that is, meters per pixel, for example) is different than the source image resolution, the source image has to be scaled.  Your sample image looks like an output image with a pixel resolution slightly smaller than the input image.  For example, let's assume your source image is at a resolution of 2 meters per pixel.  Then let's assume you asked for a 400 x 400 pixel output image from MapServer with a spatial extent of 600 meters by 600 meters.  That means you want the output pixels to be 1.5 meters per pixel.

Since the output is "zoomed in" a bit, MapServer is being asked to generate 400 output pixels (in each dimension) out of 300 input pixels (600 meters at 2 meters per pixel).  It will do that by duplicating every third input pixel in the output, so if you had a row of pixels with these values:

0 1 2 3 4 5

you would get an output image with these values:

0 1 2 2 3 4 5 5

Image then, that you had two single-pixel vertical lines in the source image.  In the output, the one at pixel position 2 would end up being two pixels wide, while the identical input line at pixel position 4 would still be only one pixel wide in the output.  This will look strange.

In your specific example, you appear to have antialiased text in the input image.  The intermediate-shaded pixels along the edge of the text are sometimes replicated, giving the odd effect you see in the words "Briar Patch".

For optimum image quality without artifacts, keep the output image resolution the same as the source resolution, or a multiple of 2x the source resolution.  If you're going to be doing that often, consider using GDAL and create overview images (preprocessed subsamples of the source image) to avoid having to resample the source image over and over again to serve map requests.

Hello again

I've been looking at some imagery being generated via PHP Mapscript. On my imagery , jagged effects appear along some of the edges. The jagged version from MapServer is attached. Look along the road boundaries and the word "Briar Patch". Anyone know why this happens ? These effects don't appear when I view and zoom in and out of the source with ImageMagick. Here is the tiffinfo output. Note that I started with tiled Tifs and converted to stripped - I have played with different sized strips.

TIFF Directory at offset 0x1255d6
  Image Width: 3500 Image Length: 3500
  Bits/Sample: 8
  Compression Scheme: PackBits
  Photometric Interpretation: palette color (RGB from colormap)

  Image Description: "converted PNM file"
  Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
  Samples/Pixel: 1
  Rows/Strip: 2

If anyone needs it, I can send the original one but I didn't want to waste too much bandwidth !

Here's an example. I have a "print" icon that calls another PHP page,
passing some parameters, to create a "print friendly" version of the map.
All the button does is launch the JS function.

I imagine you *could* pass variable to the function as well.

To see this in action, go to the URL below.

NOTE!
The default configuration of the app does NOT use Java, so you'll need to
click the little Java button on the right side of the page to get the ROSA
applet to load. Then click the print icon to see the functionality. Also, it
probably won't work in anything less than NS 6 or IE 5.

http://www.gasai.com/gisapps/arsenic/Default.php

The pertinent part of the APPLET code:

<APPLET NAME="RosaApplet" ARCHIVE="/java/rosa/rosa.jar" CODE="Rosa2000"
  WIDTH="450" HEIGHT="450" MAYSCRIPT style="border-style: inset;
border-width: 4">

    <!-- a bunch of other buttons... -->

    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_IMG" VALUE="/MapSymbols/PrintOff.gif">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_IMG_PR" VALUE="/MapSymbols/PrintOff.gif">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_HINT" VALUE="Print this Image">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_INPUT" VALUE="submit">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_NAME" VALUE="CMD">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_JSACTION" VALUE="fnxPrint()">
    <PARAM NAME="TB_BUT_print_VALUE" VALUE="PRINT">
  </APPLET>

The JavaScript function:

function fnxPrint() {
  //Gather some variables
  var map;
  var xmin;
  var xmax;
  var ymin;
  var ymax;

  xmin = document.frmMapInfo.C_XMIN.value;
  xmax = document.frmMapInfo.C_XMAX.value;
  ymin = document.frmMapInfo.C_YMIN.value;
  ymax = document.frmMapInfo.C_YMAX.value;
  map = 'arsenic.map';

 
window.open('print.php?&Mapfile='+map+'&XMIN='+xmin+'&XMAX='+xmax+'&YMIN='+y
min+'&YMAX='+ymax,'')
}

Cheers!

Pushkar...

Check out the following PHP script:

<?
$db_id = dbase_open("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DePere\Data\parcels.dbf", 0);
$myDbArray = dbase_get_record_with_names($db_id, 1);
dbase_close($db_id);

$field_names = array_keys($myDbArray);

$num_fields = count($field_names);

foreach ($field_names as $i) {
  echo "$i<BR>\n";
}
?>

If you paste this into a blank PHP doc, AND supply the dbase_open line with
a valid path to a shapefile's DBF, the script will print a list of the DBASE
fields.

I would think you could use something like this to drive the MapScript part
of what you are talking about.

I'm getting the occasional non-fatal warning from the Windows binary.  The
warning isn't even unexpected.  The issue is that it's outputting the
warnings prior to the HTML content headers, and confusing the browser into
displaying raw HTML, rather than the web page.

For example, I have a layer whose bounds are limited to a state, but the
application allows the user to zoom out beyond that state.  If the user does
so with this layer on, this happens:



Warning 503: Some objects were written outside of the file's predefined
bounds.
These objects may have invalid coordinates when the file is reopened.
Predefined bounds: (-89.107,35.9957)-(-95.7708,40.6133)

...and so on...



And the entire page, in raw HTML goes out to the browser.  Is there any
setting to suppress these non-critical warnings?

I'm pretty sure that this warning is due to a bug in the TAB driver that
was fixed on April 25.  The GDAL 1.1.7 release doesn't include this fix,
it's only present in the latest CVS version of GDAL/OGR.

So you need an executable built with the latest GDAL/OGR from CVS.  I
verified and it seems that the 3.6 binaries on our site at
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/ are using the latest version of
GDAL/OGR so you may want to try that if you're on Windows.

I just realized the note I sent a while ago doesn't do what you want it to
do... you apparently are not looking to retrieve all of the field names, but
to retrieve all of the unique values of a particular field.

I am confused now... I'm not at all sure what you want to do. You could
certainly loop through the dbase and create an array of unique values, and
use that array to define classes on the fly (I assume you could do that)...
but that doesn't sound like what your after either.

The build process isn't finding your GD header files (gd.h) ... make sure
you have them installed ... if you know WHERE they are, you can try passing
the path to the library with --with-gd=/usr/local/ for instance ... you
can't be too far off if configure found your GD Lib ...

Am I reading right ? You're using MS 3.3 ?? I'd strongly suggest you upgrade
to 3.6 !!!

Hi

Yes - when I make sure that the input image resolution is the same as output,  the image looks OK. 

However, as my last email says, I do want to be able to  change scale without storing multiple copies of the data so it would be nice if the down-sampling operation could support an option of a higher quality alogorithm. IN this case, the output image might need to increase in depth, though - maybe MapServer wouldn't support that.

That is a good question.

I used the following code to achive something similar, but by doing it this
way the user has to click twice.
The first time he has to click on a point on the map and the second time he
has to click on a link in the
template file. The link refers to a html page with the name "[HSTNAME].html"
stored in column HSTNAME of the
DBase File vrs_hst.dbf.

That works fine but is a bit inconvenient. I would prefer that the html page
"[HSTNAME].html" appears allready
on the first click. Has anybody an idear how I can achive that?

Nicole Bomeke


Mapfile:
---------
  LAYER
    NAME "Haltestellen"
    DATA vrs_hst
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POINT
    CLASS

Betreff: [mapserver-users] Question on linking external info


Hi

I recently started looking into MapServer, and have MapServer 3.6/PostGIS
running. Very nice !

I was looking at the Recreation Compass at
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/compass.html and was wondering how they
implemented the external info when clicking on certain features in the
map.

For example, on clicking one of the pink "Scientific & Natural Areas" I
get a new browser window with Information/photos etc about "Lost River
Peatland
SNA" ... generally speaking, what is needed to achieve this ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards and Thanks

You need to complie gd with freetype, thencomplie mapserver with gd. If 
you plan on using PHP Mapscript, use
freetype 1.3.

Hope this helps.

Chris -

In the example you sent, it's not downsampling, it's upsampling - the
output image is at a higher resolution than the input image.  While
there are alternatives, and it would be nice for MapServer to support
more resampling options, doing that well really needs to wait for the
24-bit output support to be available.

Why do you not want to store multiple copies of the data?  With multiple
copies you greatly reduce the amount of resampling that needs to be
done, and I'm a big fan of precomputing everything you possibly can.

Robert -

I'm pretty sure that there is NOT a way to do this using straight CGI
MapServer... you HAVE to use MapScript. Well... at least from the MapServer
point of view. You might be able to use some other program.

All of the examples you are looking at are MapScript examples, and there is
not a version of MapScript for ASP yet.

Subject: AW: [mapserver-users] Question on linking external info
Message-ID: <200206141317.g5EDHXe17253@yogi.medinaco.net>

While I don't know how the DNR app does it the most important thing is the items that link the data together.
1) For example (in our case): A picked point relates to a polygon -> That polygon has a parcel number -> That parcel number is used to retreive all of the records from the owner database that have a matching parcel number.
2) For images (parcel surveys in this case): A picked point relates to a polygon -> That polygon's geographic location relates to the geographic location of the the original lots & tracts (grid) that the land was split into -> Each member of that grid has attributes (tract number, tract name, etc.) -> Those attributes are used to retrieve all of the records from the surveys database that have matching values -> Each of those records have a field which points to the location of the image (png & gzipped tiff in this case).
3) For requesting info from another website (tax records in this case): A picked point relates to a polygon -> That polygon has a parcel number -> That parcel number is used to create a url to query the remote server and retrieve a page with all of the taxing information.

For case #1 it is a direct database type query and both http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples35ex4 
and http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples35ex9 have code for dealing with that.
For case #2 an example of the geographic query code can be found in http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples35ex9
For case #3 there was a code example posted to the group by Steve Lehr in April that basically reproduces the "wget" command in perl for creating dynamic remote queries to other websites. For retrieving and including other types of information dynamically you may want to look at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples35ex2 (text in this case).

In each case there is nothing that says that a single cgi couldn't call each of the individual modules to retrieve all of the information and compile it into a single report that is dumped into a single response to the user from a single click. In most cases I don't think that would be good beause of the amount of data that could result (ie. multiple survey images for a single location).

Hopefully that helps.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Pre-Release of MapLab Suite
Message-ID: <3D09F0CC.A6DB3F65@dmsolutions.ca>

Hi everyone,

Today is a day we at DM Solutions Group have been working very hard
towards as it represents the initial release of a suite of open source
web tools for managing map files and deploying PHP-based mapping
applications --- MapLab.  Our goal through this is to create an
environment where a MapServer application can be completely developed
through a web based environment.  MapLab is a series of applications
developed with PHP/MapScript including three primary components -
MapEdit, MapBrowser and GMapFactory.

MapEdit provides a web interface to a MapFile, somewhat along the lines
of the MapServer Workbench.  The intention of MapEdit has been to mirror
the structure of a map file as closely as possible.  From this, we've
added some utilities to make life a bit easier for setting up your map
file including such things as symbol and colour pickers.

MapBrowser is geared more towards integrating WMS source data into your
map file and mapping application.  There are also some handy tools for
generating keymaps and modifying other parameters of your map file.

The third and final component is GMapFactory.  This is the application
that allows a user to deploy an interactive gmap application with
selected interactive tools such as a reference map, legend, navigation
tools/Rosa and publish.

I just want to remind everyone before leaping ahead that this is a
pre-release and as such, there are still probably a few problems and
features missing.  Also, user documentation is lacking, although I think
you will find the installation instructions quite complete.  We plan on
having supporting user documentation when we do our full release of
MapLab sometime around mid-July.  If you're not sure if you want to slug
it out at this point, hang on to then.  But we figured being an open
source community ... there's bound to be a few of you who can't hold
back your curiosity! :)


Some of the details:

For more information on the product including download and installation
instructions see:
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/webtools/maplab/index.html

We have created a mailing list for MapLab where we would encourage
discussion of the package and any comments/questions you may have to
take place.
http://lists.dmsolutions.ca/mailman/listinfo/maplab-users

Note that for all of this to work, you will require MapServer 3.6 & PHP
4.1.2+.  Please read the install notes for more information.


As a last but important note, we have many people we need to thank for
this.  Personally, a big thank you to our entire team as this really has
been a group effort.  We would also like to thank the beta-testers who
provided a lot of valuable feedback to us over the past month or two. 
All of this wouldn't of happened of course without some funders ... so a
big thanks goes out to Natural Resources Canada's GeoConnections
program, the Canadian Forest Service, Canada's National Atlas, and the
many other groups who in some way have contributed to making this
happen.  And of course, thanks to Steve Lime for his ongoing cooperation
with all of our development efforts.


We hope you find it useful.  Please let us know what you think, as we're
all anxious to hear.  We've been using it extensively internally now
with a lot of success and look forward to sharing it with the rest of
the MapServer community.

Dave

The TEMPLATE clause in your query can function in one of two ways: it can 
specify a file or a URL. If you specify a file, mapserver will go thru the 
file and replace variables. If you specify a URL, mapserver will forward 
it. You could do something like TEMPLATE http://someserver.com/[ID].html 
and mapserver would fill in the ID for you. Or you could go TEMPLATE 
http://someserver.com/scriptedPage.php?id=[ID] Again, mapserver fills in 
the ID and the script renders the page. Template URLs only would on single 
item queries.

Subject: [mapserver-users] What is needed to display map coordinates ?
Message-ID: <3D09FA89.843E4D33@usgs.gov>


Hello,

I have built the mapserver program on Solaris 2.6
configuring it with ./configure -with-proj
to include thr proj.4 libraries.

The built went fine. We are trying to get the coordinates (UTM etc.)
to be displayed in the status bar when the mouse moves
over the maps.

We have put in the map_applets to try to get this to work.

Does mapserv need to be built with more than the proj.4
libraries to have this functionality ?

Thanks in Advance,

Scott

I am trying to add thematic points by a value in the database.  Every
example I've seen involves the use of many classes.  I'd rather avoid that,
because my point values have an undetermined range, and change often.

I'm looking for something along the lines of:

CLASS
 SIZE 4 + MyDbaseItem
 ...
END

But, I haven't found anything that works.  Is it possible to do this?

Thanks,

It is not possible right now. It is on the todo list for future release of
Rosa.

Someone on the list has done similar job by modifiying a bit the Rosa
code, You might contact him for more informations : Oscar Mesquita Neto"
<oscar_neto at hotmail.com>.

You might try something like LABELSIZEITEM and then use a truetype font
to draw the symbol. If you need to label the item also, the dupicate the
LAYER and make it TYPE ANNOTATION to draw the label.

Message-ID: <3D0A130D.002719.00509@baldrick.anytimenow.com>

Hi

Sorry for the incorrect terminology. 

I wouldn't want to store multiple copies of the data because our image database is measured in terrabytes. The cost of the disk is not necessarily of prime importance (although top-end robust, reliable, raid is not cheap when you buy that sort of quantity). The management issues of all those files would come into play, though. I'd rather wait another fraction of a second for it to do the resampling every time, especially when the image is being served over the web and the slowest part of the process is much longer than that and is out of our control - the download ro the user's device.

Good question! 
I throw this back to the list for a possible answer. 
The hard way would be to re-define the TTF giving it the origin to
correctly align them.

You don't need an applet to do this; although it's not (currently) a MapServer site, you can just take a look at TopoZone (www.topozone.com).  It just uses JavaScript to put coordinates in the status bar when the mouse is moved over the image, and can display them as UTM, decimal degrees, or D/M/S.  The same approach works just fine if the map image is generated by another source, such as MapServer.

	Hello,
	
	I have built the mapserver program on Solaris 2.6
	configuring it with ./configure -with-proj
	to include thr proj.4 libraries.
	
	The built went fine. We are trying to get the coordinates (UTM etc.)
	to be displayed in the status bar when the mouse moves
	over the maps.
	
	We have put in the map_applets to try to get this to work.
	
	Does mapserv need to be built with more than the proj.4
	libraries to have this functionality ?
	
	Thanks in Advance,

I deal with multi-terabyte data sets under MapServer already, and while there is a price for the resampled images, it does only have to be paid once.  Even an extensive set of overviews (2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, etc.) increases the data storage by about a third (the 2x resample is obviously by far the largest).  The additional processing to produce high-quality resampled images is pretty substantial relative to the rest of what MapServer does.
 
However, if you do want to go that route, the best solution right now would be to have MapServer generate the "native resolution" output image - perhaps of a larger size than the output image if needed - and then write an image post-processor that does something like bicubic resampling in RGB space to the desired output size and then send it along to the client.  High-quality resampling is somewhat compute- and memory-intensive, but if your output map images are modest sizes it might not be a big deal.

	Hi
	
	Sorry for the incorrect terminology.
	
	I wouldn't want to store multiple copies of the data because our image database is measured in terrabytes. The cost of the disk is not necessarily of prime importance (although top-end robust, reliable, raid is not cheap when you buy that sort of quantity). The management issues of all those files would come into play, though. I'd rather wait another fraction of a second for it to do the resampling every time, especially when the image is being served over the web and the slowest part of the process is much longer than that and is out of our control - the download ro the user's device.

You could set the value using mapscript and then assign the size:
$csize = 4 + $sql_query_result_array[0];
$class->{size_or_sizescaled} = $csize
However there's most certainly multiple ways to do it.

Lowell mentions Mapscript, and I thank him for the reply.  Unfortunately,
I'm in the pure CGI world.

Steve, thanks for your suggestion.  I tried it, but for some reason my
points don't seem to be resizing based on the LABALSIZEITEM.  Or if they do,
it's so small it's unnoticeable.

Here's my Layer:

LAYER
  NAME "Outsources YTD 2002"
  TYPE POINT
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
  CONNECTION "\GISData\Outsources.TAB"
  STATUS OFF
  LABELSIZEITEM "Total"
  CLASS
    NAME 'Outsources YTD 2002 Through April 30'
    COLOR -1 -1 -1
    TEXT "."
    LABEL
      POSITION cc
      TYPE TRUETYPE
      FONT arial
      FORCE true
      COLOR 255 0 0
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
      ANTIALIAS true
      MINSIZE 25
      MAXSIZE 300
    END
  END
END

Any Ideas why it always seems to be the MINSIZE, no matter what the value of
the LABELSIZEITEM?  I should mention the values are going to be around the
range of 1-15.

Thanks,
Dan Martin

You might try something like LABELSIZEITEM and then use a truetype font
to draw the symbol. If you need to label the item also, the dupicate the
LAYER and make it TYPE ANNOTATION to draw the label.

Martin, the value of "Total" if used for LABELSIZEITEM must be in pixels
for font height.

Is there any way to use an expression with LABELSIZEITEM?  I tried, but
Mapserver choked on it.

I don't think so. You might add it to Bugzilla as a enhancement request.
Probably the easiest thing to do is write a Perl/C/whatever script that
adds a column to your dbf file and populates it with the a precalcuated
value.

Subject: [mapserver-users] jagged edges on images

HI 

How do you store your imagery ? Presumably, you will need to have many SHAPEPATH definitions in map files and tileindex shape files around the place. I'd be interested to know how you deal with this area.

In the mapscript/php3/Makefile I have the line
 
 CC =     gcc -undef -I. -I.. -DPIC -fpic
 LD =    gcc -Wl -Wl
 
Originally they both specified cc instead of gcc.  I changed that.  I've also
added a '-' to the 'undef' option, and now compilation proceeds a bit further,
but still fails with several 'undefined references' in php_mapscript.o
Here's an excerpt from the script file recorded.

Bob,

This is only a guess, but the zend_* functions are in libz.a which
should be referenced via -lz option which may not be being found. check
where it is located (like: /usr/local/lib/libz.a) with "whereis libz"
and make sure you have a -L/usr/local/lib or whatever the path is for
libz and try to link it again.

Also make sure that when you configured mapserver that you pointed it to
the correct php source directory because zend_* styff is linked into php
also.

In-Reply-To: <3D0AA16B.13619B70@swoodbridge.com> from "Stephen Woodbridge" at Jun 14, 2 10:07:39 pm

Steve,

I find libz.a in /usr/lib/libz.a.  In the MS_LIBS variable in
mapscript/php3/Makefile, I have -L/usr/lib -lz.  In the ./configure
input string I have --with-php=/usr/home/racarr/downloads/php-4.1.1

Here's a link to a test.php file on my server.  Is there anything there
that appears out-of-line?

www.geologic.dyndns.org/test.php

Thanks.

Bob,

>From the link errors below it looks like you need to add -L/usr/lib to
the Makefile. Find the line what has -L/usr/local/lib and add to the end
of that line " -L/usr/lib" and try make again. I have no idea why you
are having these problems but I think this might get you past them. You
might have other problems down the road - this feels like something is
not configure'd correctly, but it might just be that FreeBSD is just
different.

Hey all!

Sorry this isn't a mapserver-specific question, but this is the best place
I could think of for help.

Does anyone out there know about any issues regarding tiffs (color
and greyscale) and any of the web browsers' FTP capabilities out there?
Or do you perhaps know where I could research the issues further?  I've
looked just about everywhere I can think of, but to no avail.

Specifically, we have most of our problems with very large, greyscale tifs
locking up IE when initiating a file x-fer (all smaller images and large
color images have worked just fine so far).  We've had similar but mixed
results with various Windoze Netscape versions; some behave exactly like
IE, but some won't allow any x-fers.  The Linux boxes seem alright,
however (as always!).

The only workaround I can think of is to write a PHP function to use for
downloading our images rather than the browser's FTP, but that pretty much
seems like re-inventing the wheel to me.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help!
Kent Ridl

Message-ID: <000701c2154f$6df3f760$0200a8c0@Agnieszka>

Hi,

I have strange problem. I have complied MapServer 3.6 beta 2 with options:
"./configure" \
"--with-proj" \
"--with-php=../php-4.2.1" \
"--with-gdal=/home/src/gdal-1.1.7" \
"--with-ogr" \
"--enable-runpath" \
"--without-tiff" \
"--with-gd" \
"--with-libwww=/home/src/libwww" \
"--with-wms" \
"--with-wmsclient" \.

When I type mapserv -v I get:
MapServer version 3.6.0-beta2 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

but in phpinfo() I have:
MapScript Version ($Revision: 1.104 $ $Date: 2002/04/24 20:37:32 $)
MapServer version 3.6.0-beta2 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

So I can't use WMS_CLIENT in PHP.


Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Agnieszka ?ak

Finally we have mapserver running. We didn't install gif support, only .png
installed.

We are playing with itasca demo, and  have changed all .gif to .png

how ever we get the following error:
msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined symbol "symbols/ctyhwy.png" in
class 0 of layer ctyrdln3_anno.

Can the symbols be .png or they must be .gif?
If above possible, how to avoid error?

Steve,

Thanks for all of your assistance.  I was able to compile the mapscript/php
subdirectory (php_mapscript.so) after adding the '-shared' option to the
$(LD) variable.  I also changed one of the PHP_SRC_DIR includes to /ext from
/dl.  Here's a list of the changes made to mapscript/php3/Makefile:

Original 
    CC =     cc undef  -I. -I.. -DPIC -fpic
    LD =     cc -Wl -Wl

Changed To
    CC =     gcc -undef  -I. -I.. -DPIC -fpic
    LD =     gcc -Wl,-shared


Original
    PHP_INC = -I$(PHP_SRC_DIR) -I$(PHP_SRC_DIR)/dl -I$(PHP_SRC_DIR)/main \
          -I$(PHP_SRC_DIR)/Zend -I$(PHP_SRC_DIR)/include \
          -I$(PHP_SRC_DIR)/TSRM

Changed To

Is there possibly an action associated with the file type that is actually causing the lockup, ie. download and then open in Imaging? Where the actual lockup is in Imaging instead of the browser.

Is it possible that you did 'make install' in the mapserver directory
with a previous configuration (without wms-client)?  
Due to the way the build process is setup, the 'make install' target
should never be used... it gives no benefit except build problems with
the various versions of MapScript.  Try deleting /usr/local/lib/libmap.a
and /usr/local/include/map.h, and then recompile your mapserver.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Join labels and attribute query
Message-ID: <1024319749.3d0de105c0f68@tux.vgem-klostermansfeld.de>

Hello,

how can i join two or more labels and display it at once? I use shape-files as
data. In the dbf-file i have the following attributes: ID, RECHTSWERT, HOCHWERT,
DATUM, FOLIE, OBJART, ALIASFOLIE, ALIASART, ALK-NR, GEMARKUNG, FLUR, ZAEHLER,
NENNER

For this Layer i need an annotation in the form: "ZAEHLER/NENNER" This is the
notation in german "Flurkarten". In the dbf-file i cannot join this two columns,
because the converter for the shape-files writes the files and the slash between
ZAEHLER and NENNER is important. I have try it, but i can only view one
annotation :-(

My second problem is how i can make a query with with attributes? In a html form
i have the fields GEMARKUNG, FLUR, ZAEHLER, NENNER. Together are this four
attribues uniqe in the dbf-file. Is it possible to make a query with more than
one attribute?

Thanks for help!!!

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0206171454190.32314-100000@gnu.private.webstar.co.uk>

Hi

I am having a bit of difficulty using the QUERY mode with mapserver - and 
was wondering if someone could point out my error.

I'm using MS 3.6 with Postgis.

I have a .map file with these (relevant) bits :

//--------------

NAME WALES
EXTENT 127000.0 160000.0 380000.0 402000.0
SIZE 400 400

WEB   
  TEMPLATE wales2.html
  IMAGEPATH "/var/www/html/mapserver/wales/tmp/"
  IMAGEURL "/mapserver/wales/tmp/"
END

LAYER # start of the "cardiff_codes" layer object
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  NAME "cardiff_codes"
  CONNECTION "host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 user=blah password=blah dbname=mines"
  DATA "the_geom from walescp"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POINT
  TOLERANCE 5
  CLASSITEM unit_postc
  CLASS
    NAME "Post Codes"
    COLOR 180 80 120
    SYMBOL 'circle'
    SIZE 2
    EXPRESSION /./
    #TEMPLATE http://ewok/mapserver/wales/show.php?id=[ID]
    TEMPLATE postcode.html
  END # end of class object
END # end of layer object
END # end of map file

//----------------------------

And postcode.html :

<html>
<body>
<b>SEARCH WINDOW</b>: [imgext]<br>
<b>QUERY POINT</b>: ([img.x], [img.y]) image coordinates or ([mapx], [mapy]) map coordinates<br>
<b>QUERY METRICS</b>: number of layers with results=[nl], total number of results=[nr]<br>
<p>
<hr>
<p>
Post Code = [UNIT_POSTC]
</body>
</html>


When I use query mode to get the post code of a point, all I get is
//---
Post Code = [UNIT_POSTC]
//---

literally, without the value for that unit_postc being substituted from 
the database.

I tried to follow the itasca demo as closely as possible, but mine won't 
print the data. Is there a difference between using shape files (as in the 
Itasca demo) and using Postgres ? Or is there something I've done totally 
wrong ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards

No, I don't believe so.  The images causing the problem won't even
download, so it couldn't get to Imaging.  And we're not having problems
with all tifs... just the large, greyscale ones (large color and all
smaller ones work fine in IE).  For Netscape, nothing is working now.  One
other note is that if the user downloads the image via right-clicking,
everything works fine.  (I've tried to convince my powers-that-be to just
annotate the website as such, but they haven't budged yet :-).

Possibly you just verified your problem. If the download works when using a right click -> the only place I can think of that would snag things is the action associated with the file type which is bypassed when doing a right-click saveas. Hopefully browser gurus on the list have other ideas.

That makes sense to me regarding Netscape; I'll mess with that some more.
But I'm still not sure why only the large, greyscale tifs would crash IE.
Anyhoo, thanks for your input!

I don't think IE or Netscape have builtin support for ANY TIFF formats
that means that they have to get it from a browser plugin like
QuickTime. If you click a link to a TIFF the it is passed to the Browser
plugin which starts to read it to see if it can handle it. It is
probably crashing while trying to read the TIFF. I don't think they get
much call for large greyscale TIFFs :) change the broswers mime type for
*.tif files to download or change the server mime type CAN be done
locally only in the current directory via the .htaccess file if you are
using Apache.

Message-ID: <A35A461EBB6BD511859E0002A56B89CC02D7693A@EXCORP03.corp.erac.com>

I've read over the license,  <http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/license.html>
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/license.html, and I have a question.  I can
understand the most complex computer terminology, yet the simplest legal
document leaves my dumbfounded.  Does the license require open-sourcing
derivative works?  It doesn't appear to, to me.  But it does say:  
 
______
"Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"),
to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation
the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense,
and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the
Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: 
 
The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
all copies of this Software or works derived from this Software. "
_____
 
It doesn't seem to make sense to include the statement "use, copy, modify,
merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software",
with a closed source product.  Furthermore, research on MapServer has turned
up more than one commercial product that seem to be entirely based on
MapServer.
 
Let me state up front that I have no intention on releasing derivative works
of MapServer, nor do I think my company ever would.  In my free time, I
contribute to open-source products myself, and I don't need to be sold on
the benefits and nobility of open-source.  I am totally in love with the
great product the contributors to MapServer have produced, and feel a
definite debt to them.  
 
However, when I talk to my management, our legal standing with products we
produce is one of the first things they ask (and have asked about
MapServer).  Even though we never sell software, and most likely never
will...they ask the question.
 
Thanks,
Dan Martin

Hi, all the users
I've a question:
Everybody know if it's possible to do more than a QUERYMAP in a MAPFILE?
Or it's possible to change the COLOR of the QUERYMAP online to paint the 
results of a query in several colors?
How I could do it?
It's possible to make the MAPFILE dinamically, on the fly?
Thank's for your helps
Nacho

Message-ID: <A35A461EBB6BD511859E0002A56B89CC02D7693C@EXCORP03.corp.erac.com>

After fighting with itemquery for a while, with no success, it occurs to me
that maybe OGR (in this case MapInfo TAB) doesn't support itemquery.
Looking into the mailing archives, there was some mention, quite a while ago
that this is the case with OGR.
 
Is this still the case?  I certainly would feel better about my complete
failure with itemquery if it weren't my fault.
 
Thanks,

Subject: [mapserver-users] QUERYMAP question
Message-ID: <F813Fn04nDVwEdkCBD200002d2c@hotmail.com>

Hi, all the users
I've a question:
Everybody know if it's possible to do more than a QUERYMAP in a MAPFILE?
Or it's possible to change the COLOR of the QUERYMAP online to paint the 
results of a query in several colors whith ITEMNQUERY?
How I could do it?
It's possible to make the MAPFILE dinamically, on the fly?
Any reference or example?
Thank's for your helps
Nacho

Thanks Scott for kind reply, i am submitting the question again to the list
to see if some one else have a clue....

Hi every one

Finally we have mapserver running. We didn't install .gif support, only .png
installed.



 We are playing with itasca demo, and  have changed all .gif to .png  how
ever we get the following error:
 msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined symbol "symbols/ctyhwy.png"
in class 0 of layer ctyrdln3_anno.

Can the symbols be .png or they must be .gif? If above possible, how to
avoid error?



Off course, if class for symbol is commented (#) the demo runs ...

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with itemquery and other advanced
features of the CGI so I may be overlooking something, but overall the
support for OGR formats like TAB is as complete as it is for shapefiles
in 3.6... I didn't test itemquery myself but I don't see any reason why
itemquery could not work with OGR-based formats the same way as it does
for shapefiles.

Hi

I had a error like the one you have, and it was
because i did not define the symbol in my symbol.sym
file. It looks like you are trying to load a symbol as
a image from your map file, when you should be
defining and naming your symbol in the symbol.sym file
and than load the defined symbol in your map file.

Make any sense?


your symbol.sym file should contain something like

Symbol
    Name 'ctyhwy'
    Type PIXMAP
    Image 'images/ctyhwy.gif'
    Transparent 7
  END

Hope i did not confuse the issue

Are the .png files having sufficient permissions?
I think they reside in the images dire. which is one under symbols, that's
the default. Unless you move them elsewhere.

Dan,

The license appears to be a stock MIT/X style license.  You may not
"relicense" the provided source modules, nor may you hold the copyright
holder liable for anything.  Other than that you can do whatever you want,
including applying any license you choose to derivitive works, binaries
built straight from the source and so forth.  This is the same license I
use for GDAL.

Obviously, if you are really concerned you could consult a real lawyer.

Armin,

I discovered the bug with binary TIFF files in GDAL.  It related to files
with widths not a multiple of eight, and the extra padding included between
scanlines.  Anyways, the good news is that the bug is fixed in the GDAL CVS
tree, and in general it should be possible to use GDAL with binary TIFFs
in MapServer.

You can change nearly any parameter of the map file on the fly through
the URL, in this specific case:

...&map_querymap_color=255+0+0&....

changes the querymap color to red.

See 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/cgi-reference.html#mapfile

for more details.

Hello

If i try this, then i get an error message: msDBFGetItemIndex(): "DBASE file
error. Item 'ZAEHLER,NENNER' not found." And this logical, if you look in the
source. I use mapserevr 3.6

OK, but i need a dynamic query from a HTML form?

Just for the record, the MapServer license is not exactly a stock MIT/X
license... they modified the second paragraph.

The second paragraph of the official MIT/X license says:

 "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be 
  included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."

and in the MapServer license it was modified to say:

 "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be
  included in all copies of this Software or works derived from
  this Software."

I don't think the modification affects our right to use, modify,
redistribute, etc., but I'm not a lawyer, so ...

You might try mapscript with PHP or Perl or Python.  That may be what you are

MapServer supports this using the TEXT expression parameter in a CLASS

If i try this, then i get an error message: msDBFGetItemIndex(): "DBASE

error. Item 'ZAEHLER,NENNER' not found." And this logical, if you look

Subject: [mapserver-users] Find Nearest ?
Message-ID: <sd0f58d2.035@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

There are 2 options:

 - if post-code is a polygon you could select all features (across
multiple layers) within that polygon.

 - do a point query. In this case you use the tolerance/toleranceunits
values in each layer definition to define acceptable values based on the
type of features. For example you might want to set 15 miles for
hospitals, but 100 miles for doctors. Then when you do the point query
it will find all features within distances specified by layer tolerances
to that point. So, how do you get the point? Well, you can to a lookup
outside of the MapServer and pass the resulting point in a query string
or you could do an itemquery and seed the point query that way.

Does this help?

Hi,

I have installed Mapserver 3.6 Windows version and have managed to get
the demo map working but before i start trying to put my own maps into
the application can someone tell me if it's possible to do a search by
zip code (post-code in UK) to search for points on the map.

The reason i need to this is that i am trying to developing a web
service that will allow users to enter their post-code and search for
Doctors, Hospitals etc based on a search radius from their home
post-code. I know this is possible using MapXtream but would like to
find a cheaper / free product.

Thanks

Keith.

I believe the UMN made the change because "substantial portions" is on
the vague side. This license is not intended to get in anyone's way, but
to ensure that credit is given where credit is due.

You can't, but should be able to with 3.7. I'm adding an offset
parameter to the new style support and this should allow for stuff like
this in addition to things like drop shadows for features.

One work around would be to use the ellipse as the symbol and then the
truetype piece as a label since labels already can be offset for more
control. This will work fine if you're not already using labeling for
that layer.

Good question! 
I throw this back to the list for a possible answer. 
The hard way would be to re-define the TTF giving it the origin to
correctly align them.

The MapServer expression grammer is based on one I found for ANSI SQL so
it should be pretty complete. It should (I believe I tested this way
back) handle the case you mention. Parenthesis are certainly supported.

What's the complexity of logical expression? Can MapServer handle
embedded logical expression such as ((A OR B) AND C) ?  Or can it only
handle simpler expression.  Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: <BAECIJIGPFEOENAEIGBLEEBDCEAA.kevinflanders@attbi.com>

I am wondering about parcel map abutter's lists....I know that I can set the
tolerance in the mapfile and find all parcels within a tolerance, but that
is not exactly accurate.

Has anyone created abutters tools out there?

Message-ID: <13A69C76-8340-11D6-9A86-0050E4E66216@FriedBaloney.com>

Hi,

I've just started out trying mapserver, and finally got ./configure to 
run,
but now make complains as follows: (lines wrapped for clarity)

Stop in /usr/local/src/mapserver-3.6.0.

Any suggestions? I had to move my gd libs to my /usr/lib/ directory to 
get it to configure, and it found them.
But now it still complains it can't find them to compile? Arrrgh.

Thanks for any help,

I'm using php/mapsc. and unable to set a symbol for a class using a name.
I can successfully create a symbol for the class using an integer type. If
anybody knows the soln. please let me know. Thanks,

related .map file:
   METADATA
      "DESCRIPTION" "Cercla Sites"
      "Colors" "64-66"
      "Symbol" "1"
   END

   LABELITEM "Npl"
   CLASSITEM "Npl"

code:
$symbolName = $tmp->getMetaData("Symbol");
$status = $cl[$c]->set("symbol", $symbolName);
$status = $cl[$c]->set("size", 15);

$cl[$c] is the class created dynamically.
If $symbolName is a no. (like in this example - 1) the symbol shows up,
but if I pass the name no symbol appears.

related sym file:
#2
Symbol
Name 'star'  # also tried "star"

Hallo!

It took some time but finally our RPM-package for Maperver 3.6 is
ready. It is build with support for proj.4, ogr and gdal.
I also included the rosa-applet and the itasca-demo.

The package will be on the FreeGIS CD 1.2.1 but feel free
to download the packages (rpm and src.rpm) from our ftp-server:
ftp://ftp.intevation.de/freegis/gnu-linux-i586/updates/

I would be glad if you could try it out and contact me, if you have
any prolems.

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP and itemquery
Message-ID: <0d1001c21797$cd350620$0601a8c0@comai.loc>

I'm trying to perform an itemquery with PHP.

My query layer defined in the map file is the following:

LAYER
  NAME ComuniQ2
  DATA AdminBndyB
  STATUS OFF
  TYPE POLYGON
  LABELITEM "POLY_NM"
  CLASS
     COLOR 225 225 225

     LABEL
        MINSIZE 5
        MAXSIZE 18
        POSITION AUTO
        ANGLE AUTO
        PARTIALS false
        MINDISTANCE 600
        COLOR 0 255 0
        BACKGROUNDSHADOWCOLOR 128 128 128
        TYPE TRUETYPE
   FONT arial
        ANTIALIAS true
      END
      TEMPLATE market.html
  END
END

and in the php file I have written somethig like:

$value="my value"

if ($querytype == "2") {
  $value = $HTTP_FORM_VARS["name"];
  $layer = $gpoMap->getlayerbyname($qlayer);
  $class=$layer->getclass(0);
  $layer->set("filteritem","POLY_NM");
  $layer->setFilter("'$value'");
  $class->set("color", $red);
  $img = $gpoMap->draw();

but mapserver seems to redraw the same map as before instead of draw the new
map with "the object  $value".

Some idea?

Thanks.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Compiling PHP Mapscript on Cygwin.... grrrrrrr
Message-ID: <F79jUHQHh2wLCVYl4ma00000161@hotmail.com>

Hi gang...
I've been successful in compiling and developing mapserver on Linux.  Now 
I'd like to be able to do some development on my win2k laptop so I'm taking 
a shot at Cygwin.... well... I'm not proud to say that I've actually been 
trying for about a week now!  I'm ready to give up, but thought I'd take a 
shot in here first.
After trying several times on my own with newer versions of supporting 
libraries I finally gave up (could not get GD 2 compiled) and used the 
Cygwin compilation instructions on the mapserver web site.  Using those 
instructions and those libraries, I've finally been able to get MapServer 
3.6 compiled *and* running on Cygwin (withouth TTF support, but I can deal 
with that).  However, when I run through the same configure/make routine 
with php-mapscript turned on, it bombs and I can't get seem to get past it.  
  The error occurs in the DLLWrap call because it's looking for a "export 
definition file", then it tries unsuccessfully to create one.  Here's what I 
do (I've also tried with MapSever 3.5... different error, but no success):

1)
./configure --with-gd=../gd-1.8.4 --with-proj --with-postgis 
--with-php=/usr/src/php-4.2.0-1/main

Here's the relevant php output from the configure command:
----------------------------------------------------------
checking for location of config.h or php_config.h... 
/usr/src/php-4.2.0-1/main/php_config.h
checking whether we have PHP3 or PHP4... -DPHP4
checking whether we should use PHP's regex... no
        PHP/MapScript module configured.
updating cache ./config.cache
creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
creating mapscript/php3/Makefile


2)
I edit the php3/makefile changing line:
-from-
CC =     gcc  gcc -I. -I..
-to-
CC =     gcc -I. -I..


3)
make
... compiles for a while... then BOOM... this output:

dllwrap --dllname php_mapscript.dll --driver-name gcc --dlltool dlltool 
--export-all-symbols --as as --output-def libphp_mapscript.def --output-lib

.
.
.
... a whole bunch of these "undefined reference" errors
.
.
.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dllwrap: gcc exited with status 1
perlld: *** system() failed to execute


When it's done, mapscript/php3/libphp_mapscript.def is created but with no 
content.

I'm using PHP 4.2... is that the problem?  I don't know.
Any ideas?????   Thank you!

Thanks very much for the replies guys.

Based on what you have told me and what I have read, MapServer's license
appears structured perfect for adoption by businesses.  Open Source is
great, but the GPL and lesser GPL are often too restrictive for use by
businesses world.  Apache shows that credit for the original authors can
actually be promoted by an unrestrictive license.

Thanks,
Dan Martin

I believe the UMN made the change because "substantial portions" is on
the vague side. This license is not intended to get in anyone's way, but
to ensure that credit is given where credit is due.

Just for the record, the MapServer license is not exactly a stock
MIT/X
license... they modified the second paragraph.

The second paragraph of the official MIT/X license says:

 "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be 
  included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."

and in the MapServer license it was modified to say:

 "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be
  included in all copies of this Software or works derived from
  this Software."

I don't think the modification affects our right to use, modify,
redistribute, etc., but I'm not a lawyer, so ...

We have not gotten that far yet here, however we did look at it and we did not find a better solution than a tolerance because the relationship between polygon<->arc we used on coverages does not hold true in shapefiles. It's just a guess but I think this is what makes (last time I checked) an sde checkout lock the least-bounding-rectangle as opposed to an arcstorm checkout that locks features only. If you have other ideas we would definitely like to hear what you find.

Which version of PHP MapScript?

In version 3.6, you can set a symbol by name using

  $class->set("symbolname", "star");

or overlaysymbol using:
  $class->set("overlaysymbolname", "star");

This is new in 3.6 and wasn't there in 3.5

Thanks Daniel,
Okay I'm using 3.5 and I can do it, I was trying
set("symbol", "name);
I did what you said
set("symbolname", "star");
and it worked!!

$p->{y} = $originy;
$line->add($p);
$p->{x} = $endx;

Message-ID: <A35A461EBB6BD511859E0002A56B89CC02D76945@EXCORP03.corp.erac.com>

After struggling with using TIGER line data through OGR within the Windows
binary version 3.6, I finally figured out something that is probably worth
getting into the mailing archives - just in case someone else is searching
for the solution.
 
On Windows, paths in .map files can happily use the \ backslash, including
the paths of other OGR types such as MapInfo TAB.  However, OGR for TIGER
line doesn't work unless you use strictly / foreslashes in your paths.  Pure
trial and error landed me with that conclusion.  Perhaps it is a bug, or
perhaps it is by design.  Either way it's the way it is.
 
Although, as the documentation warns, TIGER data is so terribly slow it's
nearly useless.  Speaking of which, if anyone knows a good converter for
TIGER to MapInfo that supports the 2000 Census data, please let me know.
Even if it doesn't support the extra year 2000 files, it may work for my
needs.
 
Thanks,
Dan Martin

In-Reply-To: <F183wlib4g3Sv0YKpDS00000157@hotmail.com>
Message-ID: <DIEALLGCLLCNIHBDCMAEKEFJCCAA.jhart@frw.uva.nl>

I had the same kind of problem. Some Mapfile parameters seem to be
changeable by setting an appropriately named CGI variable (e.g. "color" by
"map_layer_class_color"), some not (e.g. "outlinecolor" by
"map_layer_class_outline"). You can use Mapscript for this, but it would be
great if the CGI version of Mapserver was consistently scriptable this way.
There are many situations where a full-fledged Mapserver, with Mapscript
installed, cannot be realized, especially on Windows systems. The CGI
version can be installed in a matter of minutes, even on non dedicated
systems.

BTW, What about creating the same mechanism for the template file? Every
Mapfile parameter could then be read out from the template, like "color" in
"[map_layer_class_color]". It make the CGI version much better programmable
from Javascript of Flash. For dynamically adding layers or classes etc you
would of course  need the script versions. Would this be very difficult to
implement?

Hi,
I'm trying to change parameters of the map file on the fly. I can change the
color of the layers with map_layername_class_color but I can't change the
name of the legend with map_layername_class_name but It doesn't change.
Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong?
Regards
Nacho

Reposted cause the date was bad again.... also, I forgot to mention the

to calculate the spatial position of mouse clicks. My "gmaplib" code is

to find any redistribution information in the gmap readmes or anything,

Hello,
With the help of a number of folks in the mapserver and postgis mailing
list, I have managed to create
my first fully functioning mapserver app, and wished to throw it out
there if any body should find it
useful.

Basically, it is a semi object oriented map display engine (dynamically
formatting the layers and
putting together control menus) and a query result formatting tool. It
is slightly hacked up, and is
derived initially from code in the itasca demo, so if I shouldn;t be
recycling this stuff, someone can feel
free to yell at me. :)

Anyhow, it is php mapscript based, and will automatically determine from
a map object what layers are

there, pairs annotation layers (showing only the parent layer, and
turning the annotation layer on and
off with the parent), create a layer pallette to control visibility,
etc., and output a toolbar. There is a
cryptic little file full of arrays called adminsetup.php which has
database output formatting information
so that the results of queries can be output nicely. There are a few
features for doing data joins and so
forth. It will do simple querying from a map based on shapefiles, but in
order to use the more complex
data types (subselects and multiselects and maps) you must have a
postgis database.

It is open source to the effect that the itasca code is. All my php
objects, which are primarily my own
code are open source.

There is no README, but should be somewhat self explanatory. In order to
work, a demo must have
the libraries (contents of lib directory), a map file, the file
adminsetup.php (although this file must be
there and contain the array "adminsetup", it is not necessary to have
declarations for your layers, it will
simply format them "raw" if no entry is present for the table in
question) in the same directory as the file
which shows the map interface (i.e. basic.php or ther). The files
basic.php will suffice to show a
general map and all of its layers and provide query functionality. The
location of the libs
(module_activemap.php, psql_functions.php) must be declared in the file
basic.php or whatever file
you use to house the interface.

It only took me about 2 minutes to drop the files in place, edit the
paths and get a new shapefile based
interface running using this, so it is pretty drag and drop, however,
saying that, the .map files I used
were extremely simple, so I cannot garrantee anything.

An example of this is at:

http://128.173.218.154/gis/soils_demo/

a downloadable is at:
http://128.173.218.154/gis/gis.tar.gz

If anyone acutally uses this and extends it I would love to hear from
them, share code.


Thanks again for all the help over the last several weeks,

Rob

Hi Robert,

I assume that you are referring to the gmap75.php3 file that comes in
our GMap demo?  Our intention was always to make it available as open
source, but you're correct that this was never mentioned explicitly
anywhere.

I have added an official open source license (MIT/X license) to the
README.TXT and to the top of gmap75.php and gmap75.phtml.  I also
updated the archives on our download site:

 http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/mapserver/dl/gmap-ms36.tar.gz

	getClassIndex() method
Message-ID: <sd11d082.063@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Please add this to bugzilla as a feature request and it'll get added to
3.7. In 3.6 I intended to make a change in how class names were used in
the source, but this was only partially implemented. In 3.7 class names
will be used similar to layer names, as a way to uniquely identify a
class within a layer. They won't be used to build legends, there is a
new parameter called TITLE that will support that. This paves the way
for a couple of things:

  - class status support so you can toggle classes (ON/OFF)
  - name-based access from MapScript and via CGI configuration

With this in place I can add a getClassByName method to MapScript.
There are already getLayerByName and getSymbolByName methods...

Steve/list,

OK, I've got a feature request for classObj... In prior version, we
were able to reference a class by a string, and somewhere around 3.4
or 3.5, this was changed so that it could only be referenced by
class_index... where there is a problem here because there isnt a
method to interrogate a classObj for it's index after it is created
so this has to be handled externally...  It is a pain in the ass to
do this, because you have to maintain a set of variables for layers/
class indexes outside of the mapscript structure.

Going back thru the emails, there was some reference to this issue
in a Sept, 01 email:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0109/msg00122.html 

where you were going to create a mapscript method called
getClassIndex()
which I believe would solve the issue...  This method didnt make it
into
the 3.5 version.  If this hasnt already been implemented, could we add

it to the current version.

I coded a work around for my app, but its butt ugly... so I thought
I would go ahead and remind you (and hold your feet to the fire.  ;)

Subject: [mapserver-users] Question on linking external info
Message-ID: <sd11d188.071@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Funny that this is the basic reason MapServer was built, to turn GIS
data into an index for other web resources. Basically you need to have
enough information in your GIS data to build a link to the external
resource. In our case we built our website (the one you mention below)
around an internal identification scheme so that it would be easy to
make such links. If the data is there then the rest is easy. We just use
URL templates, which use a bit of information from the shape attributes
to create a link to a resource. I've attached the Compass map file so
you can see how it works.

Hi

I recently started looking into MapServer, and have MapServer
3.6/PostGIS 
running. Very nice !

I was looking at the Recreation Compass at 
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/compass.html and was wondering how they

implemented the external info when clicking on certain features in the

map. 

For example, on clicking one of the pink "Scientific & Natural Areas" I

get a new browser window with Information/photos etc about "Lost River
Peatland 
SNA" ... generally speaking, what is needed to achieve this ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards and Thanks

Message-ID: <614FCE5F14A6D41180C200010240D6A2B3D74E@LINNMS>


OK, here's a good one for the list...

I have a taxlot layer where almost all features are adjacent to other
features (shared arcs).

I have three different classes:

One selected lot outlined red, size 3.
Several selected lots outlined blue, size 2.
The rest of the lots outlined black, size 1.

See the portion of my map file below.

See the attached image file for what I get.
 <<the_img.gif>> 
It seems like the arcs are drawn in the order they appear in the .shp file
rather than whole polygons according to the class order.

Any suggestions on how to make the red, selected lot, come out ENTIRELY on
top and not partially hidden by the blue, secondary lots?

Subject: [mapserver-users] mapserver compilation problem
Message-ID: <200206202048.PAA03007@lists.gis.umn.edu>

Hi,
I tried to compile mapserver 3.6 on linux (mandrake 8.1) but it fails. 
I use GDAL 1.1.7 with OGR. The problem seems to be there some where.
I used the following configure options:

./configure --cache-file=cacheconfig.txt  \
	--with-proj \
	--with-wmsclient \
	--with-php=/usr/include/php \
	--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
	--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
	--with-ogr \
	--with-postgis=yes \
	--with-tiff

I have compiled and/or installed all the missing libraries so the configure 
script works without errors.

When I start 'make' it first compiles fine but then stops with the following 
error message:

Thanks for help!
I attached the whole 'make' output.

Subject: [mapserver-users] TIGER OGR on Windows doesn't work with back
	slash in paths
Message-ID: <B318FD8D29DCD411BD0500D0B7A91C6701BD6457@jupiter>

I don't know if this has been answered already - since my mail seems a bit
delayed.
 
I actually had pretty good success with Gdal OGR2OGR tool on Windows and
applying it to Tiger 2000 (although I compiled the source under Cygwin so
not sure if that made a difference).
 
My syntax was something like
 
ogr2ogr  -f "MapInfo File"  tigtab mytigfolder
 
Where mytigfolder is the folder containing my tiger data and tigtab is the
folder to create to output the map info tab files.
 
It generated the completechain.tab and some additional tab files.  The
completechain was really all I needed for my purposes so didn't look too
closely at the other tab files.
 
I think you can download it from 
 
http://gdal.velocet.ca/projects/opengis/

After struggling with using TIGER line data through OGR within the Windows
binary version 3.6, I finally figured out something that is probably worth
getting into the mailing archives - just in case someone else is searching
for the solution.
 
On Windows, paths in .map files can happily use the \ backslash, including
the paths of other OGR types such as MapInfo TAB.  However, OGR for TIGER
line doesn't work unless you use strictly / foreslashes in your paths.  Pure
trial and error landed me with that conclusion.  Perhaps it is a bug, or
perhaps it is by design.  Either way it's the way it is.
 
Although, as the documentation warns, TIGER data is so terribly slow it's
nearly useless.  Speaking of which, if anyone knows a good converter for
TIGER to MapInfo that supports the 2000 Census data, please let me know.
Even if it doesn't support the extra year 2000 files, it may work for my
needs.
 
Thanks,
Dan Martin

Hi,

I tried to use ROSA applet with a javascript menu.
Unfortunately the menu always above all of things
except the map image. In the menu config I can
set the z order of the menu layer but the menu
always under the map image.
I tried to use <applet style="zIndex:[x];" ...>
but nothing changed.
Does anybody know how can I set ROSA's z order?
Or other ideas?

Thanks,
Zoltan

Have you tried:

FORCE true


If you put that in the LAYER object, it seems to force it to the top, even
at the expense of labels.

Subject: [mapserver-users] draw order of .shp file arcs



OK, here's a good one for the list...

I have a taxlot layer where almost all features are adjacent to other
features (shared arcs).

I have three different classes:

One selected lot outlined red, size 3.
Several selected lots outlined blue, size 2.
The rest of the lots outlined black, size 1.

See the portion of my map file below.

See the attached image file for what I get.
 <<the_img.gif>> 
It seems like the arcs are drawn in the order they appear in the .shp file
rather than whole polygons according to the class order.

Any suggestions on how to make the red, selected lot, come out ENTIRELY on
top and not partially hidden by the blue, secondary lots?

Kurt,

The missing methods are all ones for which the signatures changed (due to
const correctness issues) a while ago.  I suspect you have a mixture of
include files or shared libraries from two different version of GDAL on
your system.  I would suggest using the locate command on gdal.h, and
libgdal.1.1.so to find if this is the case, and if so, wipe out all but
one version ... or carefully manage your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and include
directives to avoid conflicts.

Message-ID: <6ECF0007FF49D411A25400508B6D9162011CBCAE@msgnflwh02.nfl.dfo-mpo.gc.ca>

Hi All,

  Using mapserver 3.5 and WMS version 1.1.0 my mapping application works
great.  However, when I tried to upgrade to Mapserver version 3.6, I got the
following error when I tried to generate a map.  
"CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a
complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:"
 
I am assuming that the WMS url calls should be no different. Perhaps there
are changes that I should make to the mapfile.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Natasha

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer as a WMS Client bug with GDAL
Message-ID: <3D133013.709@pobox.com>

Folks,

Anyone uses MapServer as a client for remote WMS servers (ie. as a cascading
map server) should be aware there are some bugs in the handling of the output
results of remote WMS servers by the GDAL code in MapServer.

The problem only manifests if the GD support for the format returned by the
remote server is not available ... for instance, if you have mapserver with
only GD-PNG enabled, but get a .gif result from a remote server, the file
will be processed by GDAL instead of GD.

Then in cases that the file isn't needing transformation (reprojection) it
will not be handled properly.  Basically this is because the GDAL drawing
code does not properly handle complete georeferencing-less files.  That is
cases where the TRANSFORM flag is set to OFF or where there is no .wld
file for something like a gif or png files.

The workaround is to ensure that MapServer's GD is configured with
all formats you want to be able to read from remote mapservers (usually
gif and png).

The problem is fixed in MapServer CVS (or will be very shortly) and is
documented in:

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=163

This notice is just for your information.

Best regards,

The shapes are drawn in the order which they have in the shapefile (or other
source). To get right drawing order you have to

- preprocess your shapefile with shpsort

OR

- divide your layer into more layers (filtered by FILTER/FILTERITEM). The
order of this layers in mapfile ensures right order in the map. But each
layer will read entire dataset again.

Message-ID: <000e01c21930$6d588e80$650202c0@vip>

 Hello.

 I've tried to compile mapserver 3.6.0 in win32 for enabling to display
Japanese Characters by compiling GD library with adding "-DJISX0208." I
noticed "Makefile.vc" doesn't define PostGIS although there's
"mappostgis.obj". 

 I tried to use this build to call PostGIS with following map file.

NAME MINES
EXTENT -159.6 28.77 -71.4667 70.5
SIZE 400 300
LAYER # start of the "mines" layer object
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  NAME "mines"
  CONNECTION "user=user_name password=XXXXX dbname=mines host=theHost
port=5432"
  DATA "geo_value from themines"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POINT
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION ([geoid] < 50) 
    COLOR 120 120 220
    OUTLINECOLOR 10 10 0
  END # end of class object
END # end of layer object
END # end of map file


 But it failed with the following message.

 msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): Query error. msPOSTGISLayerOpen called but
unimplemented!

 And there's no descripton about PostGIS in
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/win32_compile-howto.html(MapServer
Win32 Compilation and Installation HOWTO).

 But binaries distribution of MapServer 3.6.0 supports PostGIS.

 Could you tell me any suggestion about this.

 Best Regards.

Zoltan -

I've experienced the same thing, and have never been able to get around it.
I'm not a DHTML guru... so I'll pass along this link which offers a somewhat
plausible explanation:

http://www.echoecho.com/ubb/viewthread.php?tid=175&pid=634#pid634

  "Applets will always be on top of layers

   All active visible content ignores z-index 
   values and will be above "normal" content. 
   (The one exception from this rule is Flash  
   Movies embeded with wmode-setting).

   The only workaround for applets is to position 
   the applet itself in a layer, and then turn that 
   layer invisible when you need to show something 
   on top of it."

Check out the following page:

There are some great examples here regarding line labeling and label

I'm assuming you are using Windows.  If not, disregard this message.  

This happens on Windows if you didn't download the secondary package and
install the appropriate files into your C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 (or other system
directory depending on your OS).

Go to the Win32 Binaries page,
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32binaries.html. If you downloaded one of
the first two links it mentions you also need libwww_dll.zip, and if you
downloaded one of the next two links you need ms35_libs.zip.  These are the
"secondary packages" I am talking about.

Hi All,

  Using mapserver 3.5 and WMS version 1.1.0 my mapping application works
great.  However, when I tried to upgrade to Mapserver version 3.6, I got the
following error when I tried to generate a map.  
"CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a
complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:"
 
I am assuming that the WMS url calls should be no different. Perhaps there
are changes that I should make to the mapfile.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Natasha

A useful tool to help track missing dependencies (DLLs) on Windows is
the Dependency Walker... it comes with WinXP and recent versions of
Windows, simply run DEPENDS.EXE in a DOS window and use file/open to
point it to your mapserv.exe.  I believe it can also be downloaded in a
few places on the Net.

Frank Warmerdam, you've done great work on that.
 
I have a few questions about the results from ogr2ogr.  I don't want to

I don't know if this has been answered already - since my mail seems a bit
delayed.
 
I actually had pretty good success with Gdal OGR2OGR tool on Windows and
applying it to Tiger 2000 (although I compiled the source under Cygwin so
not sure if that made a difference).
 
My syntax was something like
 
ogr2ogr  -f "MapInfo File"  tigtab mytigfolder
 
Where mytigfolder is the folder containing my tiger data and tigtab is the
folder to create to output the map info tab files.
 
It generated the completechain.tab and some additional tab files.  The
completechain was really all I needed for my purposes so didn't look too
closely at the other tab files.
 
I think you can download it from

Subject: [mapserver-users] TIGER OGR on Windows doesn't work with backslash
in paths


After struggling with using TIGER line data through OGR within the Windows
binary version 3.6, I finally figured out something that is probably worth
getting into the mailing archives - just in case someone else is searching
for the solution.
 
On Windows, paths in .map files can happily use the \ backslash, including
the paths of other OGR types such as MapInfo TAB.  However, OGR for TIGER
line doesn't work unless you use strictly / foreslashes in your paths.  Pure
trial and error landed me with that conclusion.  Perhaps it is a bug, or
perhaps it is by design.  Either way it's the way it is.
 
Although, as the documentation warns, TIGER data is so terribly slow it's
nearly useless.  Speaking of which, if anyone knows a good converter for
TIGER to MapInfo that supports the 2000 Census data, please let me know.
Even if it doesn't support the extra year 2000 files, it may work for my
needs.
 
Thanks,
Dan Martin

  Isabelle,

The following is a mail that I have written to mapserver-users group a 
while ago. I believe it might help. Also there is an example java 
program of how to use it.

Thanks
Sathis

This is what I did.

I got the mapserver source code and untarred it and did the following

./configure --with-jpeg --with-gd --with-proj 
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config
make

Then I got the SWIG Version 1.3.11 source.

./configure --with-javac=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/ 
--with-java=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/ 
--with-javaincl=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/include/
make
make install

I created a directory called java in mapserver-src/mapscript and created 
a symlink for mapscript.i inside it.  (In the new nightly builds, you 
might not need this step since it should be already in there)

/usr/local/bin/swig -java -shadow -package mapscript mapscript.i

It created some java files.
Then I did
FLAGS="-DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_PROJ_API_H -DUSE_GD_PNG -DUSE_GD_JPEG 
-DUSE_GD_WBMP -DUSE_GD_FT -DUSE_WMS -DUSE_TIFF -DUSE_JPEG -DUSE_EPPL 
-DUSE_GDAL"gcc -fpic -c $FLAGS -I/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/include 
-I/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/include/linux mapscript_wrap.c
gcc -fpic -shared -o libmapscript.so -L/usr/lib -lgd -ljpeg -lfreetype 
-lpng -lz -ltiff  -L/usr/local/lib -lgdal.1.1 -lproj mapscript_wrap.o 
../../libmap.a


Java programs didn't compile right off the bat. I need to correct all 
those 'long' variable types and return types. Then it compiled. (New 
nightly build should compile clean)

In tomcat, I added the following line in /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mapserver/mapscript/java:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I have the mapserver installed on /opt/

I have attached a servlet sample .

Thanks

Folks,

A number of people have indicated an interest in having MapServer be able to
generate and return raster data output that does all the region selection and
resampling of MapServer, but that preserves the original pixel values of the
source raster files.  This is most useful for serving elevation data layers, or
other kinds of scientific data.

I have implemented a first version of this in the CVS version of MapServer, and
wrote up the documentation at:

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RawDataOutput

This is obviously still quite experimental but if anyone wants to do such a
think I would encourage them to test out this new feature.

Best regards,

Message-ID: <A35A461EBB6BD511859E0002A56B89CC02D7694E@EXCORP03.corp.erac.com>

I'm trying to use MapInfo Seamless layers in MapServer.  They do work, which
is great.  But they are slow relative to the individual layers.  To
elaborate, I have one Postal Code layer per state.  To treat them as a
single layer for a National mapping application, I have created a "Seamless"
layer to pull them all together.

Now, I expect that to be slow.  Even pulling it into MapInfo is slow.  It's
a huge amount of data.  However, if I zoom in to a scale of a few miles, I
should only be loading one layer because I can only see one state.  But even
this is very slow.  If I load the same map using the actual physical layer
rather than the seamless, it's pretty fast, even though it's displaying the
same data.  Even if I merge the entire national Postal Code dataset into one
gigantic layer, it performs fairly fast, so the issue cannot be in the
volume of data.  Specifically this last example doesn't seem to make sense.
And the performance difference is minutes as opposed to seconds, Seamless
vs. normal.

Is there something I can do to improve performance of a Seamless layer?  Or
is it just a reality, and I should look to combining my data.

Thanks, 
Dan Martin

Hello, people

Some time ago I sent a message here because of this
piece of code:

$lyr=$map->getLayerByName("brest");
//$lyr->open("..\\geo\\brest.shp");
$shp=$lyr->getShape(-1, 1);
echo $shp->values["UF"]."<BR>";

Well, I finally started to work on that part of the
project again, and I must open this layer and find the
limits of specific shapes, so i can render maps
"closed" on them.

I?m trying to use the getShape function, and it needs
that the open() function be called before it.

I?m not shure I understand the process, and worse: 
I?m not able to execute the Open function! Mapscript
returns:

Fatal error: MapServer Error in msOpenSHPFile(): No
(NULL) filename provided. 

I?ve tried total and relative paths, with slash and
backslash, but it just can?t find it!

The documentation didn?t help me... I hope I can
receive some light from the PHP Mapscript gurus out
there! :)  How would be a "paragraph" of code that
opens a layer, finds a shape from it and reads it?s
extents?

Thanks!

Nicolau,

How is this layer defined in your mapfile?  Did you set the "DATA" value
in the layer?  The open() method opens the layer as defined in the
mapfile and you cannot pass it a different shapefile filename.  The
argument you pass to $lyr->open() should be the value of
$map->shapepath.

So assuming your mapfile says:

  MAP...
    SHAPEPATH "../geo"
    ...
    LAYER
      NAME "brest"
      DATA "brest" 
      ...
    END
  END

Then you should be able to access the ../geo/brest.shp file using the
following calls:

 $lyr=$map->getLayerByName("brest");
 $lyr->open($map->shapepath);
 $shp=$lyr->getShape(-1, 1);
 echo $shp->values["UF"]."<BR>";
 $lyr->close();


Note that if all you want is to open a shapefile independent of a
mapfile layer then you can use the shapefileObj class... see the
MapScript docs.

I hope that helps,

Daniel

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapInfo "Seamless" layer performance issues

Hi Dan,

The performance issue that you noticed is not normal, so I have filed a
bug about this http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=164 

Can you please add to the bug report your configuration information:
MapServer/MapScript version, OS, GDAL/OGR version to help us reproduce
it?

Thanks,

Daniel

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0206231548390.14842-100000@demeter.museum.state.il.us>

Hi,
  I'm trying to set up a php mapscript application in which I have a 
standard bunch of base layers in a standard base file (these draw just 
fine) but then I want to dynamically add additional point layers which are 
based on what shapefiles are present. I was wondering if anyone has some 
example code for what is needed for adding in and displaying a new layer?

I'm probably missing something simple that I will find right after I send 
this, but the current code looks like:

$map = ms_newMapObj("base.map");
//find what files are present in the folder for a particular taxon
$AgesPresent = GetAges($Taxon);
//set some path stuff
$TaxonPath = "$FaunmapPath/data/$TaxonLower";
foreach ($AgesPresent as $key=>$age) {
  $layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
  $layer->set(data,"data/$taxon/$age.shp");
  $layer->set(name,$age);
  $layer->set(type,"point");
  $layer->set(classitem,"sitenum");
  $layer->set(status,"MS_DEFAULT");
  $class =  ms_newClassObj($layer);
  $class->set(name,strtoupper($age));
  $class->set(symbol,"circle");
  $class->set(size,7);
  $class->set(color,"7 27 249");
}
$img = $map->draw();
$url = $img->saveWebImage(MS_PNG, 0, 0, 0);
printf("<img src=%s width=%d height=%d>\n", $url, $map->width, 
$map->height);

It seems to correctly add the layers (numbering in 1-15 depending on the 
taxon), but I'm not seeing it. I'm sure that there is something wrong with 
the color setting, and I suppose I need a "draw" statement, but I don't 
see a clear description in any of the documentation or examples I have 
found so far.

Subject: [mapserver-users] installing problem
Message-ID: <3D14A90A@webmail>

I downloaded mapserver 3.6.0 and configured it to support OGC WMS server using

mapserver$ ./configure --with-proj=$HOME/local

The proj.4 was installed in the $HOME/local.  After compiling with 'make'

mapserver$ make

I got the 'mapserv' and tested it,

mapserver$ ./mapserv
This script can only be used to decode form results and 
should be initiated as a CGI process via a httpd server.

So far, everything was well, but when I installed 'mpserv' to 
$HOME/apache2/cgi-bin/ and accessed the URL "localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv", I got 
Server Error 500.

If I only configured the mapserver source code and compiled it using:
mapserver$ ./configure
mapserver$ make

and retested, the output was "No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is 
set, but empty.", it was going well.

Can anyone explain what is the problem and how to solve it?

Thanks a lot!
Hao

the "No query inform..." mesg. is actually an indication that your
install. was correct.
You aren't supposed to access the URL "local......./mapserv" but the html
pages, download the example.

Message-ID: <200206240904.g5O94fX14014@mailgate5.cinetic.de>

Hello,

I have read ("http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma_hiliter/mapserver-users/0205/msg00033.html?line=23#hilite")
that "imgshape with nquery not work in MS 3.5 and MS 3.6". I want to use this function, but I get the message "msQueryByShape(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s) found."

My Question - ist it true, that nquery&imgshape does not work in MS3.5 / 3.6 or do I make an error?

Thank you, Robert

Hi,

 

I use the demo.html template-file and want to set the scale like the
zoomsize.

 

So I added the following row:

Scale Size <input type=text name=scale size=8 value=[scale]>

 

But the returning map is panned and not scaled. What is wrong?

It's not a php example, but there are perl examples of adding points & shapes to a layer at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples35ex2
&
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples35ex9
Possibly you can use those to at least decode the steps required.
One other thing to check is - if you are creating a dynamic shapefile (which doesn't appear the case from the code) be sure that the dbf file to go with it is created also.

Hi all,
  
   I recently upgraded to Mapserver 3.6 and I am trying to use a Mapserver
query template to format query information from a GetFeatureInfo WMS
request. When I use "INFO_FORMAT=text/html" I get the proper page returned
but unfortunately I get the following error "The instruction at "0x77fcb892"
referenced memory at "0x00080100", the memory could not be "written".  Does
anyone have any idea what is going on here? 

Thanks,
Natasha

Hi There,

 The way to set the colors in mapscript is :

   * add a color in the map object : $colorindex = $map->addcolor(r, g, b)

   * use the color index in your class setting : class->set("color",
$colorindex)

  Hope it helps,

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any recent news or developments on this.
Basically looking for a JavaScript bounding box approach to eliminate the
use of the mapplet.

Cheers

PS I sent this before, and it never got to the list.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Compiling PHP Mapscript on Cygwin.... grrrrrrr
Message-ID: <F35IyzaH8uOvtqEvAgG0000717d@hotmail.com>

Well I did finally have some success in compiling MS 3.6 with all the latest 
supporting libraries in Cygwin... and I did keep notes (part of the problem 
was the default version of 'make' installed with Cygwin).  If there is a 
demand, I'd be willing put together an updated step-by-step version of 
"Compiling Mapserver under Cygwin" like what's on the web site now.
HOWEVER, I never did get PHP Mapscript compiled in Cygwin and gave up 
trying.
Let me know.

Tom,

you should have a look at
-> http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapsurfer/
Mapsurfer offers a very interesting DHTML client for MapServer. A first test
worked in principal, but I did not succeed loading the map, maybe something
wrong with path definitions. So I didn't continue to try it but I think I
will again in the future.

There are some DHTML libraries (dynapi) that need to be downloaded from
another site.

Hi there,

 

I haven?t updated the nightly builds in quite sometime as they weren?t
working properly for a while.  Give me a day to compile and upload the
binaries to the MapServer site then you can try downloading it again

Sorry about that.  If you want binaries for the latest stable release
(3.6) you should be able to download from the MapServer site.

 

-Perry

As far as perl mapscript logging goes, here is
a list of the tricks I use:
 
$ENV{MS_ERRORFILE} = "/var/log/mapserver.log";      # map engine error log

near the top of the perl mapscript code... before
you do your instantiate<sp> your map object.
This is an environment variable:  MS_ERRORFILE 
for the shell, or execution instance which catches
all of the errors/warning that occur within mapserver
and sends them to the filespec defined.  This one is 
the *most* useful log for debugging mapfile errors, 
index problems, and mapserver internals, etc.

also in the mapfile, I setup a WEB object like this:

WEB
  log "/var/log/mapserver_access.log
END

you could probably setup that variable in mapscript as well,
but I have always put it in the mapfile.  It records a set
of variables similar to the apache access log for each
mapserver execution.  Most useful for tracking/logging
mapserv requests/hits/parameters/extents/layers info.

typically, when I am debugging my perl mapscript, I refer to
the apache logs in /etc/httpd/logs/access_log and error_log
where the stdout and stderr stuff goes.  With the combination
of these logfiles, I catch pretty much everything needed to
debug.  If you mapscript blows up or you get a broken images,
just tail these files and you will see the perl error message
embedded in the access_log.

I am not familiar with the -w runtime though... I will give it
a try and see what it does.  

Later dudes,

Chris Stuber (mapsurfer)

I think they are supposed to go in system32 folder  (I think system is for
16 bit dlls).  
C:\Windows doesn't sound right - unless you have a non-standard install.
It's usually c:\winnt\system32
 
Haven't tried it on XP but that works on Windows 2000.

Message-ID: <595FE28AB1EBD111920F0060B06B3DD70D995199@ACTMAIL2>

Hi all,

Rather than manually creating tiles and and different resolution layers to handle
large (>10,000 x 10,000 pixel) rasters, I have been experimenting with gdaladdo.

So far I have taken my large raster and used gdaladdo to add overviews at
3,5,9,12 and 16. To my reading of the doco, and output from gdalinfo, the 
level 16 overview ( approx 800 x 700 pixels) should be used to generate the
view of the raster at full zoom (since my displayed image is 600 x 600). However,
I don't see anything until I zoom right in to a small area.

What am I missing here?

I?ve updated the nightly binaries.  The two packages compiled with GDAL
should have support for the new OUTPUTFORMAT object/keyword.  See
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OutputFormat for more info.
By the way, I haven?t even played with this feature.  MapServer 3.7 is
still under development and shouldn?t be considered stable.  Use
MapServer 3.6 unless you really need the new features in 3.7.

As to me, I consider very useful to enable process original raw raster data
via classes rather than output them in raw format, for instance enabling
this class expression:

CLASS
  NAME 'Elevation greater than 2000'
  EXPRESSION ([pixel] > 2000)
  color 200 150 0
END

Stephan,

I agree that this would be desirable; however, the direct implementation of
this idea would involve evaluating the expression for every pixel to be
displayed that comes from the source raster.  This could be pretty expensive
to be doing in a web environment!  The current approach of applying
classifications is to classify the 256 values between 0 and 255 and to force
everyting to this range before running it through the "classified" lookup table.
This is relatively fast.

Best regards,

This is how I do it:

      document.write("Scale 1:" + Math.round([scale]/100)*100);

This rounds the scale to 100's

Subject: [mapserver-users] Legend Icon with Raster Layer
Message-ID: <3D189FD7.3A683805@geo.unizh.ch>

hi all

I try to create a dynamic legend in mapscript with the
createLegendIcon() method. this works fine for point/line/polygon
layers, but raster layers don't appear in the legend at all. so I added
a class with just a name to that layer. the name is displayed properly,
but the icon is just white. I tried with a pixmap-symbol, but it only
gets drawn as a legend icon, if the color in the class object is set.
but unfortunately, this leads into another problem: the layer is drawn
in this color in the main map. the same also happens with the
drawLegend() method.

what am I missing, or is it not possible?
thanks,

thomy

Subrahmanyam -
 
You're asking for a NAD27 UTM Zone 16N projection, but your EXTENT values aren't reasonable values for that zone.  You don't seem to be asking for an image that's anywhere near the coordinates of your input map (i.e. the coordinates are in the Pacific a little northwest of the Galapagos Islands).

I usually work in UTM so, to me anyway, your EXTENT looks pretty strange.
What projection is epsg 26716?  Besides that, I don't see where you are
trying to reproject anything.  The WMS_SRS lines need to be set to what the
projection of the Tiffs already are.  Then it will project them to the
settings in the PROJECTION setting.  Am I right here?

Message-ID: <3D18D7C4.86D663A8@visi.com>

Hello all,

I am new to mapserver and this list, so maybe I am missing something
fundamental.  I downloaded mapserver-3.6.0 but could not compile it.  I
seem to have successfully installed GD, PROJ.4, LibWWW, LibTIFF,
LibGeoTIFF, LibJPEG, OGR, GDAL, pdflib, and PostgreSQL.  As far as I can
tell, I have mapserver configured to use all these libraries.  I have
not configured in PHP as I have yet to resolve the regex issue on my
machine.  When I try to compile mapserver, I get the following output:

[david at localhost mapserver-3.6.0]$ make
gcc -c -O2  -Wall -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA  -DUSE_EPPL -DUSE_PROJ
-DUSE_PROJ_API_H -DUSE_WMS   -DUSE_TIFF -DUSE_JPEG -DUSE_GD_PNG

[david at localhost mapserver-3.6.0]$ 

When I examine the Makefile, I see the line:
OBJS= maptemplate.o mapbits.o maphash.o mapshape.o mapxbase.o

maporaclespatial.o mapgml.o mapprojhack.o mapthread.o $(EPPL_OBJ)
$(REGEX_OBJ) $(PDF_OBJ)

It appears to me that most of these object files don't have any input
files defined.  Is this my problem?  How can it be fixed?

Also, the beginning of the Makefile has the line:
HEADER_INSTALL=/usr/local/include/mapserver-3.5/
Shouldn't that be ~/mapserver-3.6/?

I would appreciate any assistance.  Thanks!

anyone can shed some light on it for me.  Is it a bogus message or does it

Does it have to be a internet accessible url?

Tyler,

The problem is likely the trailing "&" character in your onlineresource
url.  A bug has been filed about this already:

You can try omitting the trailing "&" and IE should be happier, but that
may not work for all WMS clients.  Until this is fixed, you should also
encode the characters ":" as %3A and "\" as %5C

Mapserver will merrily spit whatever you put in your wms_* metadata
lines into the XML capabilities, even if the contents of the metadata is
not valid XML. The solution is to use XML entities where necessary:

Replace all occurences of & with &amp;
Replace all occurences of < with &lt;
Replace all occurences of > with &gt;

That will fix the XML problems. As Daniel also notes, if your data is a
URL, you should be careful to URL-encode the data you put in that URL,
but that is good advice for any web programming, not just mapserver :)

Hi,

The problem here is the XML parsing of your response in IE, not the document
per se.

If I try to download an invalid capabilities such as below from a Perl
script, it works.  The parser is choking on the response.

In this case, if the xml encoding type is utf-8, then characters such as '&'
should be escaped as per utf-8 (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-EncodingDecl )

So, if you change your line in your mapfile to:

WMS_ONLINERESOURCE
"http://localhost/mapserver/mapserv?map=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tyler\demo_test.m
ap&amp;"

..this should work.  Though the MapServer dev folks may want to add the
functionality within MapServer itself to translate such characters.

Though the 'map=/path/to/mapfile/' extension is valid as part of the WMS
onlineResource prefix element, you may want to look into configuring this as
an environment variable; check out:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/wms-server-howto.html#onlineresourceurl

..for info on how to do this.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [mapserver-users] php/Mapscript query
Message-ID: <1025056965.8626.179.camel@homer>

Hi List,
Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction.
I am using mapserv 3.6.0 and php/mapscript with php 4.1.2 as CGI.

I am having trouble with the processquerytemplate method.
I can get it to process a layers template when the template is a file
but when the template is a URL I get nothing returned.  I would assume
that I am meant to get the template URL back as a string with the
specified tags replaced with their actual value.  Have I got the layer
set up correctly?  Am I calling it correctly in php?

##### Layer #######
LAYER
  NAME parcels_shaded
  GROUP cadaster
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "user=gis dbname=blis host=blis"
  TYPE polygon
  STATUS on
  MAXSCALE 9999
  DATA "geom from bucc"
  LABELITEM "tag"
  HEADER parcels_header.html
  FOOTER parcels_footer.html
  TEMPLATE "parcels.html"
  #TEMPLATE
"http://blis/blis/action.php?action=query&value=[tag]&image=[img]"
  CLASS
     Name "Parcels"
     COLOR 0 128 0
  END
END

#### Php ########
 $queryresult = $map->queryByPoint($query_point,MS_SINGLE,5);
 echo $queryresult . "<br>";
 $queryimg = $map->drawquery();
 $query_url=$queryimg->saveWebImage(MS_PNG,1,1,0);
 $queryarray["test"] = "steve";
 $template = $map->processquerytemplate($queryarray);
echo "<hr>";
echo $template;
echo "<hr>";
Even though the [tag] tag isn't in the queryarray that gets passed to
processquerytemplate, it still substitutes the correct values into the
template file, I just had to pass something to it to get it to work.
The commented out template line in the layer doesn't return anything
where the uncommented template does.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Message-ID: <595FE28AB1EBD111920F0060B06B3DD70D9951AD@ACTMAIL2>

Hi all,

Frank has confirmed that this is a bug when adding
overviews to a TIFF generated on a system using a
different byte order (in my case, a PC adding overviews
to a TIFF created on a Sun box).

Frank suggested an easy work-around. Run the TIFF through
gdal_translate before adding overviews to ensure everything
is in the same byte order:

	gdal_translate hard0613g.tif hard0613g_le.tif
	gdaladdo hard0613g_le.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 ...

Cheers,

Antti

Hi all,

Rather than manually creating tiles and and different resolution layers to handle
large (>10,000 x 10,000 pixel) rasters, I have been experimenting with gdaladdo.

So far I have taken my large raster and used gdaladdo to add overviews at
3,5,9,12 and 16. To my reading of the doco, and output from gdalinfo, the 
level 16 overview ( approx 800 x 700 pixels) should be used to generate the
view of the raster at full zoom (since my displayed image is 600 x 600). However,
I don't see anything until I zoom right in to a small area.

What am I missing here?

Hi,

I am a new mapserver user.  I successfully compiled mapserver 3.6.0 together 
with proj.4, but got message "Internal Server Error" when running 'mapserv'.  
The error info in the err.log file is

If I do not compile mapserver with any library (simply use './configure' and 
'make'), the 'mapserv' was running well.

Can anyone explain the problem and how to solve?

Regards

Message-ID: <76C676FD48E2E448B68716B68B55ACFD157C9D@jaexmb1.conoco.net>

Hi everyone,

I just started using mapserver, so please accept my apology if the questions is too simple and basic.

I have installed mapserver 3.6.0 and itasca demo dataset. Installation seems OK. But when I looked the result via browser (mozilla, konqueror, IE) all I got in MapServer Demo Interface page is a black map with some feature on its right side (refresh/query, browse map, query feature, and so on). I could click on the map and the mapserv perform an action. However, the result is still same, nothing there, only black.

I compiled mapserv in RedHat 7.1, using its library for jpeg, freetype, png, and gd (version 1.8.3.7). I just straightly compile (./configure and then make) and then put it on Apache web server as I just would like to see the result. When I configure it, it says:

  using GD (-DUSE_GD_PNG -DUSE_GD_JPEG -DUSE_DG_WBMP -DUSE_GD_TTF) from system libs

I convert gif files of demo dataset (under graphics and symbol) using convert utility from ImageMagic. Then I have changed name of gif files within demo.map file to point to converted png files. I looked at files using gimp and they seems OK.

I looked archived of this mailing list and someone said that I need to set and compile the mapserver executable to use GIF OR PNG at compile time. But I couldn't find anything on ./configure --help that helps me to set this up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Zuki

Tanya,

I'm new to mapserver as well. But I've been able to successfully install it.
I don't know exactly what you have done but these are some things that could
result in error messages.

1. You have to extract the contents of libwww_dll.zip to the
"C:\WINNT\System32" folder on Windows NT/2000 or "C:\Windows\system" on
Windows 9x.
2. You need to extract the PHP mapscript extension (php_mapscript.dll or
php_mapscript_36.dll) and place it in the PHP extension folder. The name you
use to call it in your scripts should be the same as the name it's saved as
in the PHP extension folder.

Hope this helps.

Raj

Hummm... there is no file called mapserver.c in the MapServer 3.6
distribution, and the only one that's close to this name is mapserv.c
but it has nothing to do with bison/yacc.  Makes me wonder which
Makefile your build is trying to use?

Peter,

Yup, you're missing a package ... "yacc" :)

Yacc and Bison are similar, and you can get bison to behave as Yacc does
with "bison -y" ...

However, from what I can tell SuSe should include the "yacc" package ... if
not you should be able to find it and install it.

Cheers,
J.F.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Compiling Mapserver 3.6 for Linux (SuSE8.0)


I try to compile mapserver for Linux (Distribution: SuSE 8.0) to run with 

Proj 4.4.5
GD 1.8.3 (including GIF Support)
LibPNG 1.2.3

I've compiled all sub libaries and prepared make using 

./configure --with-proj --with-gd=/tmp/gdlib/ --with-png=/tmp/gdlib/

while doing the make i've got the following errormessages

make: yacc: Command not found
make: *** [mapserver.c] Error 127

I hope anybody out there who can help me!

Sounds like you're missing the "yacc" program, or its location is not in 
your $PATH environment variable. yacc is one of the development tools 
used to build mapserver. If you can't find it on your system, try this:

ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/suse/suse/i386/8.0/suse/d2/yacc-91.7.30-524.i386.rpm

Good luck!

But when I looked the result via browser (mozilla, konqueror, IE) all I got in MapServer Demo Interface page is a black map with some feature on its right side (refresh/query, browse map, query feature, and so on). I could click on the map and the mapserv perform an action. However, the result is still same, nothing there, only black.

Are you getting blank images, or is no image showing up at all? If there 
is no image, it could be an issue with the paths in your map file and html 
templates. Make sure that they are exactly correct, and check your server 
log for 404s looking for images (a clear sign that a file path might be 
in error).

If you think it is a GIF/PNG issue, you can configure the demo.map file to 
make it output PNGs using the "IMAGETYPE png" directive in the beginning 
(global) section of the file. There's a good reference to the mapfile 
commands at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/mapfile-reference.html

You shouldn't need to recompile, but if nothing else works it may be
worth a shot. I hope you get it to work without too much trouble.

Hi Hao, could you tell us what options/libraries you are compiling it with?
What do you add to the ./configure command?

Hi,

I am a new mapserver user.  I successfully compiled mapserver 3.6.0
together
with proj.4, but got message "Internal Server Error" when running
'mapserv'.
The error info in the err.log file is

[Wed Jun 26 16:19:35 2002] [error] [client 132.181.14.150] Premature end of

script headers: /home/cosc/studPG/hdi12/apache2/cgi-bin/mapserv
If I do not compile mapserver with any library (simply use './configure'
and
'make'), the 'mapserv' was running well.

Can anyone explain the problem and how to solve?

Regards
Hao

Marc,

   I didn't try Steve's suggestion (the original labels were good enough for
that particular project), but I think it would work.  A slight modification
of his idea would be to label the graticule lines once for each side of the
map using the appropriate POSITION tag each time (and the MINDISTANCE to
prevent multiple labels).

  I did file an enhancement request (#96) regarding graticule labeling, and
sent Steve some information on ArcView's Grids and Graticules extension.

  With MapServer's raster reprojection support and the soon-to-be-completed
24-bit rendering (not to mention all the data sources it reads), MapServer
is one serious web mapping tool.  With the addition of grid/graticule
labeling, it would blow the competition (what competition?!) out of the
water!

Hi there,

If am testing the same map services with identical data sources (shapefiles 
with *.qix index)  one serving on Linux (SUSE 7.3, Apache 1.3.19... self 
compiled binary ) the other one on Win2k Server with IIS 5.0 etc, 
downloaded binary ) , the Win machine have 2 Pentium II  300 Mhz each, the 
Linux box just one Pentinum II 300 Mhz . I had  expected that the WIn2k box 
is 2 times faster around than the Linux box , but the win box needs more 
time to build the maps. The service on Linux needs 20 seconds (64000 
polygons !) to start up , the windows service 30 s . On Linux mapserv 
processes consume > 90 % of processor power, on windows only 50 - 54 % , it 
seems that the parallelizing is n't so good , is n't it ?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapscript/Java/Servlet users:  give this a whirl...
Message-ID: <F240aTzvb5YI9IJsaJb000000b2@hotmail.com>

I've been having this very unusual problem running servlets and mapscript.  
As far as I can tell, it's working great except under one condition.  If a 
user submits a request to the servlet, then hits the browser's refresh 
button before the his/her previous one is finished, it *crashes* my servlet 
engine.  This only happens if I'm executing imageObj.draw() somewhere in it 
*and* trying to print a response back to the client.  If I don't do anything 
with my HTTPServletResponse object, I can hit refresh as many times as I 
want as fast as I want with no problems.  Anyway, without getting too deep 
into the issue, etc. I would be grateful if someone else could try doing 
this.

Submit a request to your servlet that draws a map and saves out to an image 
(one that takes at few seconds or more).
Then hold your <CTRL> key down (to make sure it refreshes) and hit your 
refresh button a few times fast while your first request is still pending.
Sometimes it'll keep showing you the cached page after the servlet engine 
has crashed.  So after that, try moving to another page being served by your 
servlet engine, or change your url params or just somehow check to make sure 
it actually *is* running.

I'd like to hear your results.

Here's my environment.....
Linux 7.3
Tomcat 4 (standalone)
JDK 1.4 (J2SDK)
--------------
MapServer version 3.6.0 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ 
SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG 
INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=SHAPEFILE
---------------
My data is all in PostGIS


Another note... I also tried this with Tomcat 3 and JDK 1.3... same results.
Also note that this problem *only* occurs with concurrent requests from the 
*same* browser.  I can hit it at the same time with several different 
browsers with no problems.

Thank you

Gregor -

The current release of MapServer is not multi-threaded, and will only run on one processor at a time.  If you're serving multiple requests, then your dual-processor machine can serve two of them at the same time.  But a single request will only use one processor, as in your test; that's why you see half as much total processor utilization on a machine with twice as many processors.

If you're running on absolutely identical machines, there's no particular reason why (in general) MapServer on Linux would be noticeably faster or slower than on Windows.  Since you're seeing different performance I would guess that there is either a different amount of RAM in the two machines and/or a difference in the hardware or configuration of the disk system.

I don't think the algorithm is there (exposed?) however you could create a separate shapefile of a uniform grid (say 0.5' x 0.5') and use the existing $layer->queryByShape($map, $shape) to select out the members of the grid that fall within the polygon shape and get an approximate value with $area=$resultcache->{numresults}*0.25 .
Alternately you could look into using something like Geometry::Polygon coupled with perl mapscript at
http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/autocad/urban/perl/Geometry-0.02a.tar.gz
to calculate the area for polygons.

It uses yacc or bison to process the mapfile parser templates and turn
it into a C file.  

The problem now seems to be that your copy of yacc doesn't like the -o
option... perhaps it's supported only by bison?  I'm surprised that
bison wasn't picked by default by configure.  Can you check if you have
bison on your system and if you do then edit the Makefile to set the
variable YACC to point to bison.

Subject: [mapserver-users] query - nquery error w/ point query
Message-ID: <5.0.0.25.2.20020626124003.020e39f0@imap.fas.harvard.edu>

Hi,

Question about use of query / nquery in MS 3.3.  (Note: I installed 3.6 and 
got it to work with PNGs but not Mapplet, so went back to 3.3)

here is the test version:

http://chgis.fas.harvard.edu/webmap/cbos/

if we select the MODE query multi (ie name="mode" value="nquery") and click 
over a CLUSTER of points, it will work fine.

however, if I ZOOM in at all, or try to click over a SINGLE point, it won't 
work at all.  I added a radio button selection for MODE query single (ie 
name="mode" value="query")  but it still doesn't work.  Also played around 
with TOLERANCE, but that didn't have any effect.

Heres the basic info:

TEMPLATE:
     <input type="hidden" name="map" value="[map]">
     <input type="hidden" name="imgext" value="[mapext]">
     <input type="hidden" name="imgxy" value="249.5 199.5">
     <input type="hidden" name="mapext" value="shapes">
     <INPUT NAME="img" TYPE="image" SRC="[img]" width=500 height=400 border=0>

         <input type="radio" name="mode" value="browse" checked> zoom<br>
         <input type="radio" name="mode" value="query"> query single <br>
         <input type="radio" name="mode" value="nquery"> query multi <p>

           <input type=radio name=zoomdir value=1 [zoomdir_1_check]> Zoom 
In<br>
           <input type=radio name=zoomdir value=0 [zoomdir_0_check]> Pan <br>
           <input type=radio name=zoomdir value=-1 [zoomdir_-1_check]> Zoom 
Out<br>
           <input type=text name=zoomsize size=1 value=[zoomsize]> Zoom 
Factor<p>

MAP FILE (queried layer):

LAYER
   NAME location
   TYPE POINT
   STATUS DEFAULT
   DATA ctwn_loc
   TOLERANCE 10
   LABELITEM "UTF_NAME"
   CLASS
     COLOR 255 255 255
     NAME "business"
     SYMBOL symbols/pt_red_8.gif
     SIZE 1
     LABEL
       COLOR 0 0 0
       FONT simsun
       TYPE TRUETYPE
       SIZE 12
       ANGLE AUTO
       BUFFER 2
     END # end of label
   END
   HEADER "loc_hdr.html"
   FOOTER "loc_ftr.html"
     QUERY
       TEMPLATE "loc_fields.html"
     END
END

In short, the nquery will only return results when there are MORE THAN ONE 
points within the TOLERANCE distance, (or if the TOLERANCE = 0 if the point 
SYMBOLS overlap).

I have the feeling that something is not set to capture the mouseclick 
properly?  Can anyone help me to straighten this out?

Thanks!

Hi Gregor, from Canada
>From my experience with other applications I have rarely seen (never?) a
service use more than 50% max on each cpu at a time.  If there were
parallel requests going on I assume there would be some performance
improvement with the dual chip.  But don't applications have to be written
to take advantage of this?  Is this called multi-threading?

Hi there,

If am testing the same map services with identical data sources (shapefiles

with *.qix index)  one serving on Linux (SUSE 7.3, Apache 1.3.19... self
compiled binary ) the other one on Win2k Server with IIS 5.0 etc,
downloaded binary ) , the Win machine have 2 Pentium II  300 Mhz each, the
Linux box just one Pentinum II 300 Mhz . I had  expected that the WIn2k box

is 2 times faster around than the Linux box , but the win box needs more
time to build the maps. The service on Linux needs 20 seconds (64000
polygons !) to start up , the windows service 30 s . On Linux mapserv
processes consume > 90 % of processor power, on windows only 50 - 54 % , it

seems that the parallelizing is n't so good , is n't it ?

greetings from germany

Gregor

Tyler Mitchell <TMitchell at lignum.com> escribi?: 
If you like, you can put all the dll files in .../cgi-bin/ alongsde
mapserv.exe. That is what I've done a few times and it keeps it more
simple than putting them all in C:\windows\system

Can you try this please:
1 - Go to the command prompt (is there one in WinXp?)
2 - cd c:/archivos de programa/apache group/apache/cgi-bin/
3 - mapserv -v

Do you get a listing of the capabilities of mapserver or do you get the
same error? Do you get an error in the web browser at all?

Hi,

I figured out the query-nquery issue.

For some reason I had "TOLERANCE" included in the LAYER definition for a 
polygon layer that was also being queried.

Removing that, the query now works fine.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Version 3.6.1 available...
Message-ID: <sd19e3f7.000@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Just a short note to let you know that version 3.6.1 has been released
and is ready for download at the MapServer website. Here's a summary of
the larger issues that have been fixed (from HISTORY.TXT):

- Fixed a performance problem in msImageFilledPolygon() (bug 162)
  3.6.0 was up to 50% slower than 3.5 rendering polygons, and now
  3.6.1 is up to 10-20% faster than 3.5.

- Removed obsolete PHP3 stuff in README files and configure scripts.

- Fixed color problem with crosshair in reference map.

- Fixed an issue with "LOCATION TINY" being output in legend label
objects.

- Postgis bug 165: fix dont_force() to allow for POINT shapes 

- Make sure inline symbols (symbols defined in the mapfile) are saved 
  when msSaveMap() is called.  They used to be lost.

The biggie is obviously the performance boost. I've installed here and
the difference is noticeable. There probably will be at least one more
maintenance release before 3.7 (which will be *really* cool), so keep
reading the mailing list.

yeah .... you are right J.F. I've installed the YACC package and finally i
got the following error message:

 yacc -p msyy -d -omapparser.c mapparser.y
 usage: yacc [-dlrtv] [-b ...] [-p ...] filename
 make: *** [mapparser.c] Error 1

i think the syntax of the yacc - version delivered by SuSE 8.0 is a little
bit different than the one you all are using.
In my oppinion I've to use the "bison -y" way to be successfull. :)
I tell you as soon as i have tried out.

Peter,

Yup, you're missing a package ... "yacc" :)

Yacc and Bison are similar, and you can get bison to behave as Yacc does
with "bison -y" ...

However, from what I can tell SuSe should include the "yacc" package ... if
not you should be able to find it and install it.

Cheers,
J.F.

I've searched through the achieves and I'm stumped.

Is there a way to use itemnquery with multiple items?

i.e.   streetnum = 12345 and streetname = Main

I need query results so simply setting a filter or expression doesn't cut
the mustard.

Thanks for any clues...

Tyler,

Hmmm...  Microsoft.NET?  Are you using the binaries from the MapServer
site?  I recently installed the Microsoft.NET update through Windows
Update.  Maybe I shouldn't have.  Anyway, I'm compiling MapServer 3.6.1
to replace the 3.6.0 binaries.  Try one of those binaries but give me an
hour or two.

Hi Tyler,

My configure command is 
./configure --with-gd=$HOME/local --with-proj=$HOME/local

The gd and proj lib and include files are installed in my $HOME/local 
directory.

It is really curios to find the responsible fault. Sometimes it worked 
several times, some times the sevlet container crashes.

It seems to be a threading issue. Look at one of the above postings.

Thanks everyone. This is really great being part of Open Source
community!

The error is due to the images path (in demo_init.html) is not set
correctly. It runs OK now.

Now I would like to try to view our files (ESRI shape files, DXF,
internal databases) via mapserv. I guess I need to recompile mapserv
again to include support for these types of data. Is there any
additional manuals/readme available in internet beside the ones in
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/?

Thanks a lot everyone,
Zuki

seems OK. But when I looked the result via browser (mozilla, konqueror,

so on). I could click on the map and the mapserv perform an action.
However, the result is still same, nothing there, only black.

Are you getting blank images, or is no image showing up at all? If there

is no image, it could be an issue with the paths in your map file and
html 
templates. Make sure that they are exactly correct, and check your
server 
log for 404s looking for images (a clear sign that a file path might be 
in error).

If you think it is a GIF/PNG issue, you can configure the demo.map file
to 
make it output PNGs using the "IMAGETYPE png" directive in the beginning

(global) section of the file. There's a good reference to the mapfile 
commands at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/mapfile-reference.html

You shouldn't need to recompile, but if nothing else works it may be
worth a shot. I hope you get it to work without too much trouble.

Hi

Are you sure you have the PHP 4.1.2 version of PHP rather the PHP 4.2.1
I made a mistake with that, and after getting the 4.1.2, it worked.

Subject: [mapserver-users] QueryByAttributes
Message-ID: <000001c21da4$edffc6c0$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

Hi,

first of all you have to configure your mapserver with gdal and
proj support but I guess you already did that. Then due to a
little bug you also have to disable tiff (that is set the
--without-tiff flag to configure) as I found out this week when I
had the same problem as you :-)
I reported the bug yesterday so you should have received that
message also. It is not yet in the archive.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Java Mapscript and Tomcat
Message-ID: <F186oBJHsxPCFj2AhGw00000e4b@hotmail.com>

Hello,

recently I have started developing servlets using Java Mapscript. I use 
Linux as OS and Tomcat as servlet engine. But the development process is 
severely hampered by the fact that I have to restart Tomcat every time after 
making changes to the servlet. If I only reload the application using the 
manager tool, the native Mapscript library is loaded a second time and 
causes an error.

I tried to write a class , which loads the library and put it in the 
common/lib directory in order avoid multiple loading of the library, but 
this does not work.

Does anyone have some hints?

Thanks in advance
Andreas

Message-ID: <F181XIW6Jm3pHToG3AS00000d40@hotmail.com>

Thanks for your reply Herald.  I wasn't aware of some of those links your 
provided.  I kind of figured it was a threading issue but I really don't 
know much about how the threads interact once you add the Java layer on top 
of everyhting.
Well here's my latest... I tested this with Tomcat 4, Tomcat 3, Jetty, and 
WebSphere... I was desparate :)  I was hoping that maybe one of them would 
be able to catch the error and display an error messages instead of 
crashing.  No Luck.  They all did the same thing.  I guess it's just too low 
level (in the JVM) to recover from it.
One other thing I did was put all my Mapscript stuff into an EJB and 
deployed it in JBoss... and hit it from a JSP in Tomcat.  This helped with 
my initial problem... I am now able to hit refresh as fast as I want!  
HOWEVER, now if I hit it from different browsers at the same time.... it 
crashes JBoss (not Tomcat).
I then recompiled Mapserver/Mapscript with the "--with-threads" option and 
tried it again.  Now I can't even get it to work AT ALL... "Exception 
occurred:edu/umn/gis/mapscript/mapObj"

Unless I can play around with thread management in JBoss, I'm about ready to 
give up too.  What other options are there?  I gave up on PHP Mapscript 
because of some of the limitations there... now I've spent a week on Java.  
What else is there?  Maybe I should writing the group and asking about Perl 
issues/limitations before trying that...

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapscript/Java/Servlet users: give this a whirl...
Message-ID: <F74r3ukkwu1BtWdWhke00000d9f@hotmail.com>

Thanks for your reply Herald.  I wasn't aware of some of those links your 
provided.  I kind of figured it was a threading issue but I really don't 
know much about how the threads interact once you add the Java layer on top 
of everyhting.
Well here's my latest... I tested this with Tomcat 4, Tomcat 3, Jetty, and 
WebSphere... I was desparate :)  I was hoping that maybe one of them would 
be able to catch the error and display an error messages instead of 
crashing.  No Luck.  They all did the same thing.  I guess it's just too low 
level (in the JVM) to recover from it.
One other thing I did was put all my Mapscript stuff into an EJB and 
deployed it in JBoss... and hit it from a JSP in Tomcat.  This helped with 
my initial problem... I am now able to hit refresh as fast as I want!  
HOWEVER, now if I hit it from different browsers at the same time.... it 
crashes JBoss (not Tomcat).
I then recompiled Mapserver/Mapscript with the "--with-threads" option and 
tried it again.  Now I can't even get it to work AT ALL... "Exception 
occurred:edu/umn/gis/mapscript/mapObj"

Unless I can play around with thread management in JBoss, I'm about ready to 
give up too.  What other options are there?  I gave up on PHP Mapscript 
because of some of the limitations there... now I've spent a week on Java.  
What else is there?  Maybe I should writing the group and asking about Perl 
issues/limitations before trying that...

yeah .... you are right J.F. I've installed the YACC package and finally i
got the following error message:

 yacc -p msyy -d -omapparser.c mapparser.y
 usage: yacc [-dlrtv] [-b ...] [-p ...] filename
 make: *** [mapparser.c] Error 1

i think the syntax of the yacc - version delivered by SuSE 8.0 is a little
bit different than the one you all are using.
In my oppinion I've to use the "bison -y" way to be successfull. :)
I tell you as soon as i have tried out.

Peter,

Yup, you're missing a package ... "yacc" :)

Yacc and Bison are similar, and you can get bison to behave as Yacc does
with "bison -y" ...

However, from what I can tell SuSe should include the "yacc" package ... if
not you should be able to find it and install it.

Cheers,
J.F.

Hello,

recently I have started developing servlets using Java Mapscript. I use 
Linux as OS and Tomcat as servlet engine. But the development process is 
severely hampered by the fact that I have to restart Tomcat every time after

making changes to the servlet. If I only reload the application using the 
manager tool, the native Mapscript library is loaded a second time and 
causes an error.

I tried to write a class , which loads the library and put it in the 
common/lib directory in order avoid multiple loading of the library, but 
this does not work.

Does anyone have some hints?

Thanks in advance
Andreas

CF,

Could you please be more specific on the PHP MapScript limitations that
you are referring to?  If they are never filed as bugs, then these
limitations will likely never be addressed.  

BTW, are we really talking about limitations in features of the
software, or about bugs or issues compiling on unusual configurations
like the Cygwin+Postgis build problems that you had earlier?


> Maybe I should writing the group and asking about Perl
> issues/limitations before trying that...

Except for a few little exceptions, PHP MapScript should be as complete
(and sometimes offers more) as the Perl, Tcl, Python, and other flavours
of MapScript so if you ran into limitations with the PHP version then
you are likely to encounter the same with the other flavours of
MapScript.

Thanks Perry, I'm try it out right now.  The 3.6 win binaries from DM
Solutions worked for me last night.  I couldn't find an explicit 3.6.1
windows binary this morning on the mapserver site - I assume that you have
just overwrote the 3.6 packages?  I just downloaded
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32bin/ms36png_gdal_pg_wms.zip and I still
get the same error message when mapserv.exe is executed.
The message I get is:

"Mapserv.exe - unable to locate dll
The dynamic link library MSVCR70.dll could not be found in the specified
path c:\......bleh bleh bleh..my path stuff"

I've installed the latest service packs but still get it.  I haven't seen
the .net update but I don't really want to go there.

Let me know if you want me to test further compiles to see it get fixed so
no one else bashes their head into the monitor :)

Tyler,

Hmmm...  Microsoft.NET?  Are you using the binaries from the MapServer
site?  I recently installed the Microsoft.NET update through Windows
Update.  Maybe I shouldn't have.  Anyway, I'm compiling MapServer 3.6.1
to replace the 3.6.0 binaries.  Try one of those binaries but give me an
hour or two.

Good work Zuki.
How have you configured mapserver already?  Shape files are supported by
default in mapserver, so don't worry about that.   I'm not sure if you can
get DXF working though.  What kind of databases are you wanting to connect
to?

Thanks everyone. This is really great being part of Open Source
community!

The error is due to the images path (in demo_init.html) is not set
correctly. It runs OK now.

Now I would like to try to view our files (ESRI shape files, DXF,
internal databases) via mapserv. I guess I need to recompile mapserv
again to include support for these types of data. Is there any
additional manuals/readme available in internet beside the ones in
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/?

Thanks a lot everyone,
Zuki

so on). I could click on the map and the mapserv perform an action.
However, the result is still same, nothing there, only black.

Are you getting blank images, or is no image showing up at all? If there

is no image, it could be an issue with the paths in your map file and
html
templates. Make sure that they are exactly correct, and check your
server
log for 404s looking for images (a clear sign that a file path might be
in error).

If you think it is a GIF/PNG issue, you can configure the demo.map file
to
make it output PNGs using the "IMAGETYPE png" directive in the beginning

(global) section of the file. There's a good reference to the mapfile
commands at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/mapfile-reference.html

You shouldn't need to recompile, but if nothing else works it may be
worth a shot. I hope you get it to work without too much trouble.

This issue has been fixed in the 3.6 release.  Can you please try again
with MapServer 3.6?

Try running 'ldd mapserv', and look for the path that is listed for
libpng12.so.0 ... 

Then make sure this path is part of your runtime library path, for this
you have two options, assuming you're running Linux:

1- add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run 'ldconfig' as root

2- Use SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify this path in your apache

Subject: [mapserver-users] What is MSVCR70.DLL?
Message-ID: <13858AA1A74F30419F319ACB66A9D1220E833E@mercator.topozone.com>

Tyler, Perry -

This DLL is needed by applications compiled to use the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) as a DLL, and compiled on a machine that has the Microsoft .NET SDK installed on it.  This is no different than older MFC runtime DLL requirements; it's just that this is a very new runtime DLL and most folks don't have it.  The system running this application (mapserver, compiled this way) also must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher installed on it, since the runtime uses components from IE as well.

It seems, however, advisable to either compile the standard binaries on a machine that does NOT have the .NET SDK installed, or to compile mapserver to statically link the runtime libraries, or both.

Thanks Perry, I'm try it out right now.  The 3.6 win binaries from DM
Solutions worked for me last night.  I couldn't find an explicit 3.6.1
windows binary this morning on the mapserver site - I assume that you have
just overwrote the 3.6 packages?  I just downloaded
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32bin/ms36png_gdal_pg_wms.zip and I still
get the same error message when mapserv.exe is executed.
The message I get is:

"Mapserv.exe - unable to locate dll
The dynamic link library MSVCR70.dll could not be found in the specified
path c:\......bleh bleh bleh..my path stuff"

I've installed the latest service packs but still get it.  I haven't seen
the .net update but I don't really want to go there.

Let me know if you want me to test further compiles to see it get fixed so
no one else bashes their head into the monitor :)

Tyler,

Hmmm...  Microsoft.NET?  Are you using the binaries from the MapServer
site?  I recently installed the Microsoft.NET update through Windows
Update.  Maybe I shouldn't have.  Anyway, I'm compiling MapServer 3.6.1
to replace the 3.6.0 binaries.  Try one of those binaries but give me an
hour or two.

You are right... sorry.  I shouldn't have said "limitations".  What I meant 
to say was that PHP mapscript requirements were too restricting for me.  I 
don't remember all the versions, etc.  but basically my issue had to do with 
the version of PHP required (in ms 3.5) and the fact that it required PHP to 
execute in CGI mode versus Apache module.  So I guess it's more my 
requirements or desires that limit my choices. It's true that I couldn't get 
it to work on Cygwin and was a little discouraged by the lack of response to 
my query regarding that.... but that wasn't the deciding factor for me.  
Anyway, I might go back to PHP Mapscript as it appears it's the most popular 
choice among Mapserver developers.. and I'm sure there's a good reason for 
that.  I guess it was just wishfull thinking that there would be no issues 
with the Java option :)

Hi Andreas,
Have you been reading my thread today and yesterday about Mapscript and 
Java?  It doesn't answer your specific question here, but it might save you 
some of the effort until that issure of Tomcat crashing gets resolved... 
unless you have ideas on how to fix it.  Because, in my mind, it basically 
rules out Java Mapscript as an option for production usage if it's so easy 
to crash the servlet engine.  Hopefully somebody out there has the answer 
and just hasn't chimed in yet :)
Anyway, about your question... I haven't tried to do what you're doing.  
I've had so many issues with this stuff that, just to make sure I rule out 
other factors, I've restarted Tomcat every time I made changes.

Tyler -

If YOU send a message, and someone else (like me) does a "Reply to All", the reply goes to you and to the list.  Since you're also on the list, of course, you'll get two copies.  This should only happen with replies to messages you originated, however, not all list messages.

Hello CF,

Of course I did. It does not look like there are many people out there using 
Java Mapscript and I was wondering if there is somebody who got beyond 
testing.
Actually, it would be very interesting to see how many people are currently 
working with Java Mapscript and what they are up to.

I guess this is what it comes down to....

Message-ID: <614FCE5F14A6D41180C200010240D6A2B7124E@LINNMS>


Tyler, Daniel, et al.

My method may be weird but this is what I do:

With javascript I set some hidden inputs when the user wants to search:

	mapserv.qlayer.value = theqlayer;
	mapserv.mode.value = "itemnquery";
	mapserv.mapext.value = "shapes";
	mapserv.item.value = theitem;
	mapserv.value.value = theitemstring;

the variables:

'theqlayer' is the layer the user picks to search.
'theitem' is the DBase field the user picks.
'itemstring' is the modification of the user's text input with the necessary
punctuation.  I make it a regular expression which both CGI variables
"filteritem" and "value" can handle, i.e. /^12345$/.

Then, I have two other hidden inputs (among many others) in my mapserv form:

	<input type="hidden" name="thislayer_filteritem" value="">
	<input type="hidden" name="thislayer_filter" value="">

With javascript, I set both the VALUE and then the NAME of these hidden
inputs:

	mapserv.thislayer_filteritem.value = theitem;
	mapserv.thislayer_filteritem.name = "map_"+theqlayer+"_filteritem";

	mapserv.thislayer_filter.value = theitemstring;
	mapserv.thislayer_filter.name = "map_"+theqlayer+"_filter";

(obviously you have to set the name AFTER the value - it's tough to
reference it after the name changes.)

Then I submit the form.  This may be a stupid way to do it but it works.
What's cool is that you don't need to mess with filter, filteritem,
classitem or expression in your map file.  You send these as CGI variables
on demand.

I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE MULTIPLE ITEMS IN A QUERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope this helps, 

Adam

Hi Daniel,

I'm trying to get itemquery going now too and I saw your previous posting
on your problems.  Did you get them fixed, there appeared to be no followup
to your question at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0206/msg00225.html

>From what I understand the layer's filteritem has to be set to the field
name (i.e. FILTERITEM ZIP) from the dbase file and then, it looks like you
may need to set the filter to something like (FILTER "%value%") so that
when it gets passed through your URL it will substitute it in there and
THEN generate the map.

I really want to do the same thing as outlined at
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests/itemquery/test.html in
Case 1 - simple itemquery, using a drop-down list.  Are you able to do this
yet?  If so, would you be able to share your html and map files with me.
I'd like to document how to put this stuff together, once I understand of
course :)

Thanks for the quick reply.

Please forgive me, I'm fairly new at this.? I'm not clear on two things.? I
assume when you say "your item",?the item is?the DBASE item?? And second,
how can I set the FILTER in the mapfile to the value, when the value is to
be entered by the user?

Thanks again,

      I struggled through the same thing.? The solution is?to set the

CF,

It is a threading issue. I was woring with java and mapserver back last 
fall with pre-release 3.5. I know they have been working on the thread 
safe issues in mapserver but it does not supprise me that it has not 
gotten there yet. I have sepent a good bit of time inside the mapserver 
(maplib) code and have found numerous items that sent up red flags for 
thread safe utilization. In the end I deciced not to connect mapserver 
directly to tomcat but to simply call the mapserv CGI from tomcat. This 
was suitable for us since we did not need dynamic content on the map 
part. It may not work for you.

One thing you might want to do is to mashal threads prior to calling the 
offending subroutine. You would do it by sinchronizing on a singular 
object in the JVM. Yes this will cause a bottle neck and a lack of 
scalablility. But you should ask yourself what is your current user base 
before you worry too much about scalablility. (My experience shows that 
scalablility is over rated. Most businesses I have worked for that 
worried too much about scalablility up front, have found themselfs 
decaring bankrupsy because traffic never did ramp up! Is your product 
really going to be in that much demand?)

Here is how you would do it.

public static class MyLock {
// This class does nothing is just used to lock threads against.
}

inside your subroutine
code....
synchronize ( MyLock ) {
offending_subroutine( args );
}
more code...

Message-ID: <F154p4CMxfqclwmlZBv00000a09@hotmail.com>

Thanks for you sharing your experience.  That really helps... even if it 
wasn't what I wanted to hear :)
In fact, on my way in to work this morning (where I have plenty of time to 
sit in my car and ponder such things).... I began going over all my 
requirements again and wondering if I may be able to get around the whole 
problem by doing something similar to what you said.... just using JSP (or 
whatever) to manipulate the submitted URL parameters (and possibly creating 
a mapfile on the fly) and forwarding the request to the CGI program.  That 
just might be good enough for me.
Just out of curiousity though, I think I will try your thread locking 
solution below.  I agree with you about "scalability".  That is not my 
primary concern right now.  If I ever get that many users, I'll find a way 
to deal with it.  My main concern is stability, speed and functionality.  It 
seems that mapserv is pretty bulletproof, so maybe this jsp->cgi option is 
the best if I'm able to accomplish everything I need.

Hello all,

I've recently started using PHP/mapscript. I must say it's a pretty good
FREE product. Aren't all FREE products good? I was able to find one tutorial
on using its very basic functions (PHP Mapscript 3.5 By Example HOWTO by
Vinko Vrsalovic). I also checked the DM Solutions web site and found a link
to the GMap demo. If there are more tutorials available out there could
someone please post the links.

Thanks for all replies. To the Mapserver developers, keep up the good work.

Raj

Thanks, Ed.  That's what I thought but didn't realize that VC++ 6.0
automatically uses the newer DLL.  Anyway, I've uninstalled it and am
recompiling the binaries tonight.

Tyler, Perry -

This DLL is needed by applications compiled to use the Microsoft
Foundation Classes (MFC) as a DLL, and compiled on a machine that has
the Microsoft .NET SDK installed on it.  This is no different than older
MFC runtime DLL requirements; it's just that this is a very new runtime
DLL and most folks don't have it.  The system running this application
(mapserver, compiled this way) also must have Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4.0 or higher installed on it, since the runtime uses
components from IE as well.

It seems, however, advisable to either compile the standard binaries on
a machine that does NOT have the .NET SDK installed, or to compile
mapserver to statically link the runtime libraries, or both.

Thanks Perry, I'm try it out right now.  The 3.6 win binaries from DM
Solutions worked for me last night.  I couldn't find an explicit 3.6.1
windows binary this morning on the mapserver site - I assume that you
have
just overwrote the 3.6 packages?  I just downloaded
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32bin/ms36png_gdal_pg_wms.zip and I
still
get the same error message when mapserv.exe is executed.
The message I get is:

"Mapserv.exe - unable to locate dll
The dynamic link library MSVCR70.dll could not be found in the specified
path c:\......bleh bleh bleh..my path stuff"

I've installed the latest service packs but still get it.  I haven't
seen
the .net update but I don't really want to go there.

Let me know if you want me to test further compiles to see it get fixed
so
no one else bashes their head into the monitor :)

Tyler,

Hmmm...  Microsoft.NET?  Are you using the binaries from the MapServer
site?  I recently installed the Microsoft.NET update through Windows
Update.  Maybe I shouldn't have.  Anyway, I'm compiling MapServer 3.6.1
to replace the 3.6.0 binaries.  Try one of those binaries but give me an
hour or two.

Raj,

I believe that you can get a copy of the gmap demo by downloading the latest
MapServer Source. If you've already worked through some basic examples,
that's the next place to go.

Just follow along through the code... I think that's probably the way most
of us developed our skills. Then there's always the documentation on
DMSolution's site.

Also, don't forget the PHP docs at php.net. If your PHP skills aren't great,
then you will probably spend almost as much time (if not more) getting up to
speed on that end. For the apps that I've done w/ PHP MapScript, the PHP
part has been the biggest part. I'd say about 80% of my code has *nothing*
to do w/ MapScript, but is general PHP - calls to databases, data
manipulation, etc.

HTH!

Chip

  Predmet: [mapserver-users] ms3-6 on windows 2000


  Hi,

  Now downloaded from mapserver page

  a.. ms36png_gdal_pg_wms.zip: Outputs PNG, or JPEG images; input includes
shapefiles, many OGR supported vector datasets, GDAL supported raster files,
PostgreSQL 7.2.1/PostGIS 0.7.1 geospatial databases; TrueType font support;
OGC WMS compliant; Proj.4 projection support.
  and ms35_libs.zip <---- into c:\winnt\system32

  a.. on windows xp this ms-3.6 works fine, now i don't know why on windows
2000 have it an error

  msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined symbol "symbols/ctyhwy.gif"
in class 0 of layer ctyrdln3_anno.

  i've changed the path to "C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache\htdocs\itasca\symbols\ctyhwy.gif"  but didn't work

  only in the next symbol definition don't make error

  SYMBOL
    NAME 'circle'
    TYPE ELLIPSE
    POINTS 1 1 END
    FILLED TRUE
  END

  LAYER

rob,

I also tried to use html legend functionality with php/mapscript, but I
was not able to set the template, since I missed some method in the
style of $map->legend->set("template", template.html);
I am curious how you actually did that.

I wanted to have the legend more dynamically anway, so I used the
createLegendIcon() method to draw the icon for each class seperately. I
took the example you can find in the mapserver directory:
mapserver-3.6.0/mapscript/php3/examples/test_draw_legend_icon.phtml
and modified it. now I have a loop which is going through all layers
mentioned in the mapfile and checking the status of the layer. a html
table is created with a row for each layer including a checkbox that is
checked if the layer status is on. if there are several classes in a
layer, seperate rows with the individual icons but without checkbox are
created for each of them. 

In that context, I also still have a unanswered question about
displaying legend icons for raster layers, which I recently posted:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0206/msg00434.html

I hope that helped you, and maybe someone can give me a hint about my
question.

Message-ID: <OFF9F123B7.F6632A37-ON65256BE6.002F43D3@eq-technologic.com>

Hello,
     I am facing problem with refrence map. I am using PHP/MapScript for
mapserver3.5.
     The map does not get centered properly when panned with reference map.

     My code looks like this:

     if ( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["ref_x"]) && isset($HTTP_POST_VARS
["ref_y"]) )
     {
          $extent_to_set = explode(" ",$HTTP_POST_VARS["extent"]);
          $map->setextent
($extent_to_set[0],$extent_to_set[1],$extent_to_set[2],$extent_to_set[3]);

          $my_point = ms_newpointObj();
          $my_point->setXY($HTTP_POST_VARS["ref_x"],$HTTP_POST_VARS
["ref_y"]);

          $my_extent = ms_newrectObj();
          $my_extent->setextent
($extent_to_set[0],$extent_to_set[1],$extent_to_set[2],$extent_to_set[3]);

          $zoom_factor = 1;
          $map->zoompoint($zoom_factor,$my_point,120,120,$my_extent);
     }

     Any sample code will be of great help.

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer on the web, not local
Message-ID: <000a01c21e85$5152a6d0$0f01a8c0@internet.net>

Hi folks,

MapServer/MapScript is great although a good documentation with examples is missing.

I have been working with the Windows version for a few months; it does a pretty good work.
My big goal is to install it on the server of our Internet Access "Dealer" for my pages to be
"reachable" by everybody through the web.
The phpinfo page on the remote server tells me that it's running with Linux.  So I'm going
to understand the Linux installation procedure on my own computer.  But what do I have
to do to put the whole stuff on the remote server.  Which file at what place ?  How can I
compile on my computer some files that are going to be on the remote server if I dont't 
have the same Linux version, lib versions and so on ?

I think I'm missing some knowledge on that subject.

Does anyone have got any idea ?                Thanks a lot.     Sorry for the poor english.

	Hi, all. Yesterday, I talked about a problem with "scale" member of
	MapObj class in PHP/MapScript. The problem was the version of programs.

	In order to "scale" member don't return -1 you must have:

	- MapServer 3.6.0 or 3.6.1
	- PHP 4.2.1
	- PHP/MapScript 3.6

	Thanks, Daniel ;)

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP Mapscript Newbie: trouble with layers and logging.
Message-ID: <20020628064326.A9352@wblogan.net>

Hello, all.

I finally recompiled PHP so that I could use Mapscript with it, and I
have followed the "PHP/Mapscript By Example HOWTO."  But now I've run
into some trouble getting additional layers to display.  I also can't
seem to get it to write a log.

First the layer issue:

I have the following code:

...
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path.$map_file);
...
$image = $map->draw();
$places_layer = $map->getLayer(1);
$places_layer->status = MS_ON;
$places_layer->draw($image) or print("<h3>Unable to draw layer.</h3>");
$image_url = $image->saveWebImage(MS_PNG, 1, 1, 0);
...

This is always unable to draw the layer.  I tried using
"getLayerByName" as well, but with no success.

As for the logging, you can see that I have a LOG defined in my WEB
object in the map file.  Also, test.log is writable by the web server.

Here's the map file:

Message-ID: <3D1C4B92.6080700@magma.ca>

For all the php mapscript users out there, I have discovered that the 
ImageTypes() call in php 4.1.2 will not tell you that GIF support is 
available, even if phpinfo indicates that it is.  This was filed as bug 
15962 on the php bug tracker (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15962).  It 
is apparently fixed in cvs.

Cheers,

You have to use the set() method to set member variables in all PHP
MapScript object classes, i.e.

  $places_layer->set("status", MS_ON);

Message-ID: <004101c21eaa$40b65540$650202c0@vip>

Hello.

  I've tried to make Win32 binaries from MapServer 3.6.1 sources since
original binaries & MapScript PHP mpdules couldn't display Japanese
Characters.

 I've noticed this Makefile.vc didn't define GDAL & PostGIS.

Could you include "complete" Makefile for creating Win32 binaries into
sources archive or zipped  Win32 binaries?

 Best Regards.

Maybe I should have mentioned that the scale is not computed by
MapServer and MapScript until you call one of $map->draw(),
$map->prepareImage(), $map->prepareQuery() or $map->setExtent().  

So an easy way to force calculation of the scale at full extent is to do
this:

  $map = ms_newMapObj(...);
  $map->setExtent($map->extent->minx, $map->extent->miny,
                  $map->extent->maxx, $map->extent->maxy);
  echo "Map Scale is ".$map->scale;

CF,

I have wanted to use Java Mapscript with my servlet but I can't seem to get 
it to compile under W2K. After reading this thread I think I will wait 
until Java Mapscript is farther along.  For now I am creating a dynamic map 
on the fly by using PHP/Mapscript.  My servlet gathers/creates the 
appropriate url parameters which are then passed to PHP script via 
JSP.  PHP then passes the appropriate request parameters w/ generated 
images back to the servlet.  It feels like a hack, and a round about way to 
get a dynamic map, but it works and does not crash.  There is a performance 
hit though, and it is not the speedy answer.  For me this was the easiest 
path to dynamic maps.  I use JBoss w/ Tomcat on W2K, with Apache and PHP 
module.  You can see a development site at www.ddive.com - go through the 
demo account and click the first map icon you see to get an example and see 
the peformance.

I'll send my Makefiles to Assefa and he can include it in the sources (or
not), if he wants to.  I'll also include the Makefiles in the win32
binaries the next time I update the packages.  If you want to contribute
your "internalization" stuff on the win32 Makefiles, send it to me.  I'll
zip up my Makefiles as soon as I get to work.

Subrahmanyam -
 
I have set up a very simple sample that demonstrates what you're trying to do.  If you take a look at this URL:
 
http://www.geozone.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map <http://www.geozone.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&map=\MapServer\Subrahmanyam\utm-wgs84.map> &map=\MapServer\Subrahmanyam\utm-wgs84.map
 
you will see the quad you're working on (O33085H5.TIF) displayed at 400x500 pixels reprojected into lat/lon WGS84 as you desire.
 
The source raster data is just the standard USGS NAD27 GeoTIFF file.  The complete MAP file referenced in the URL is:
 
SIZE 400 500
EXTENT -85.625000 33.875000 -85.500000 34.000000
 
PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:4326"
END
 
LAYER
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS DEFAULT
  DATA O33085H5.TIF 
  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:26716"
  END
END
 
END

Let me (and the list) know if you have more questions after you take a look.

Just a short note to let you know that version 3.6.1 has been released
and is ready for download at the MapServer website. Here's a summary of
the larger issues that have been fixed (from HISTORY.TXT):

- Fixed a performance problem in msImageFilledPolygon() (bug 162)
  3.6.0 was up to 50% slower than 3.5 rendering polygons, and now
  3.6.1 is up to 10-20% faster than 3.5.

- Removed obsolete PHP3 stuff in README files and configure scripts.

- Fixed color problem with crosshair in reference map.

- Fixed an issue with "LOCATION TINY" being output in legend label
objects.

- Postgis bug 165: fix dont_force() to allow for POINT shapes 

- Make sure inline symbols (symbols defined in the mapfile) are saved 
  when msSaveMap() is called.  They used to be lost.

The biggie is obviously the performance boost. I've installed here and
the difference is noticeable. There probably will be at least one more
maintenance release before 3.7 (which will be *really* cool), so keep
reading the mailing list.

Great, thanks!  I thought I had tried that, but I did it again anyway
and it worked.

Does anyone know any easy way (without using mapscript) to get the map scale value?  Or, do I need to use mapscript to get the map scale? 
Thanks in advance!

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

 Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Nacionales.

 I could make MapServer 3.6.1 with WMSClient.

 And this is another question about ECW. I tried my compiled MapServer 3.6.1
and pre-build 3.6 to display ECW image(8 bit) with following map file.

NAME rasterex
EXTENT 139.6 35.4 139.75 35.5
SIZE 512 512
SHAPEPATH "d:\MapServ\map"
UNITS DD

#WEB
# IMAGEPATH "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\tmp\"
# IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
#END

LAYER # start of the "yokohama" layer object
  NAME "yokohama image"
  DATA "533915.ecw"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS DEFAULT
END # end of layer object
END # end of map file

 But nothing diplayed without error messages.

 ECW doesn't requre World File? Without world file(.eww?), shp2img.exe
didn't show error message and created blank images.

 Do you have any suggestion.

 Best Regards.

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP Mapscript and querying/point conversion.
Message-ID: <20020630085743.A21881@wblogan.net>

Hi again,

I would like to perform queries with PHP Mapscript, but I can't quite
figure out how.  What I would like is for the user to click on the
map image, and my script to return info on the shape closest to the
click (for example a road, river, etc).  Can anyone give me pointers
on how to do this?

One thing that is confusing me, is that all of the query functions
take georeferenced coords as args, but I never know anything but the
pixel coords of a user click.  I haven't been able to figure out how
to convert between pixel and georeferenced coordinates.

Thanks for any help,
Ben

Ben,

Check out the gmap application the DM Solutions has made available. It
does this. You have to convert the pixels to georeferenced coords, try a
simple ratio of the height of you image in pixels to the height in
georeferenced is to the pixel the user clicked on.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Nice satellite images rendering in MS
Message-ID: <003001c22048$0b5d6740$4991063d@domain>

Hi,

I am putting up satellite images (Landsat) and shaded relief images in MS.
Used Erdas to process them and exported it
to Geotiff. The rendered maps is quite poor quality as it can't seem to
display the full range of  the colors.

Here is some of the methods i tried to improve;
1. output the MS images to jpeg rather than gif. slight improvement. also
increased the quality to 90 but same output plus a 130k file output.

2. haven't tried this but has anybody tried using Erdas lan format or maybe
i should convert the erdas images to jpeg world files.

I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks
Nyon

Since mapserver as of 3.6 only supports 8bit output, 24bit images get
knocked down to 8bit. This 'knocking down' process can generate a really
UGLY image, or an acceptable image. I have found that using a program
like 'convert' to do the 24-8 conversion first gives me better results
than just relying on mapserver to do the conversion itself. So I
generate 8bit tiffs with convert which I then hand to mapserver to use.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use msworkbench. The installation seems OK but when I tried to fire up one of its application (eg. msappwiz.tcl), I've got an error message. Here is briefly what I've done.

- mapserv is configured and compiled (using PNG)

- configure, compile, and install mapscript tcl (mapserver.3.6.0/mapscript/tcl)
./configure --with-tcl=/usr
make
make install as root (installed in /usr/lib/MapscriptTcl1.1)

- install msworkbench
./install.sh -> installation directory is mapserver.3.6.0/mapscript/tcl

- run msappwiz.tcl
./msappwiz.tcl, got error message:

As far as I understand libgd.so (or libgd.a) provides gdFree. For some reason libMapscript11.so couldn't recognise it.

Any hints or help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Zuki

Hisaji,

Use the extension ".wld" for your world files (so you'll have a world
file called 533915.wld).  MapServer requires this as the world file
extension, regardless of what raster format you use.  Check
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/raster-howto.html#world_files for
more info.

I don't use ECW-compressed images so I can't help you with ECW-specific
questions but there are probably a few people out there using it with
MapServer.

Good luck!
Perry N.

 Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Nacionales.

 I could make MapServer 3.6.1 with WMSClient.

 And this is another question about ECW. I tried my compiled MapServer
3.6.1
and pre-build 3.6 to display ECW image(8 bit) with following map file.

NAME rasterex
EXTENT 139.6 35.4 139.75 35.5
SIZE 512 512
SHAPEPATH "d:\MapServ\map"
UNITS DD

#WEB
# IMAGEPATH "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\tmp\"
# IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
#END

LAYER # start of the "yokohama" layer object
  NAME "yokohama image"
  DATA "533915.ecw"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS DEFAULT
END # end of layer object
END # end of map file

 But nothing diplayed without error messages.

 ECW doesn't requre World File? Without world file(.eww?), shp2img.exe
didn't show error message and created blank images.

 Do you have any suggestion.

 Best Regards.
