[mapserver-users] MapServer + Weather Data

[Daryl Herzmann]

Hi,
  Back in August, I posted a question about getting weather data into 
mapserver, in particular, wind barbs.  

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0208/msg00335.html

I finally poked around with this task this evening and am horribly stuck :)

  I have attached the ESRI Weather font output, which is what I assume I 
should be using to build wind barbs?  So I query my wind speeds out of the 
PostGIS database which is an attribute and am able to use the "weather" 
font to label the data points, but the symbols are wrong for the values.

  So my question is how to associate the integer value of wind speed 
in knots with the font?  

  (hehe, then my next question is how to include visibility too, since 
this font file has that capability.)

Thanks,
  Daryl
