[mapserver-users] Rendering grids with mapserver

[Brent Fraser]

MessageJohn,

  After some discussion with Steve Lime about functionality etc, I filed the
following enhancement request
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=96):

"Mapserver needs the ability to automatically add coordinate system grid,
graticule, tic marks, labels around perimeter of map (similar to
functionality
found in ArcView's Graticule extension)."

As a work-around, I currently use a shapefile of lat/lon lines with
attributes for labelling and filtering based on scale.  This method works ok
but I can't get the labels to stay on the bottom and left of the map (one of
these days I'll fire up the debugger and see what's going on).

Subject: [mapserver-users] Rendering grids with mapserver


Greetings Mapserver users:

I am investigating rendering lines of latiitude and longitude as part of a
mapserver application which displays maps in a latlong projection.  I have
not seen any mapserver applications that render a grid except for
DMSolution's Rosa demo.  It appears that the grid layer for this application
is a prerendered vector layer.

Does anyone have knowledge of other mapserver applications that are
displaying grids ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

John Novak
