You have a name, it will display (subject to scale conditions, of course). You don't have a name, it won't display. If you take NAME from 2 of your classes, those classes will be drawn in the map, but they will never show up in the legend. Only the class with the NAME still in the map file will show up in the legend when it lights up in the map because of its scale becoming active. That said, don't you want the legend to display the layer that is in the map "now"? If not, then you have to find different ways to legend... one option would be to use HTML Legends for which you will need at least mapserver version > 3.5 (check the docs... I know html leg don't work with 3.5 because I have that; might be 3.6.1). With html leg (again afaik), you can control each layer separately, hence you can logic it out (or in) with mapscript. Alternatively, you can paint a static legend that you can make in a graphics program and save. someone, correct me if I am wrong. pk/ From pkishor at GeoAnalytics.com Sun Sep 1 23:04:11 2002 From: pkishor at GeoAnalytics.com (Puneet Kishor) Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2002 01:04:11 -0500 Subject: [mapserver-users] distance search in PLSS In-Reply-To: Message-ID: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples35ex12 I have posted a perl script called plsscalc.pl at the above wiki.

What you say is absolutely right for the first version of GeoTools (now known as GT1) which used Java1.1 only code and was targeted directly at clients. However, for the last 8 months or so we have started from a clean slate and developed a new version of GeoTools (GT2) using Java1.4 which is aimed far more at the server side than the old code base. GT2 follows the OGC specs where possible and builds on the excellent Java Topology Suite. In fact, we have just put up a first implementation of the WMS spec with support for the new Styled Layer Descriptors from the OGC. It's still a little slow at the moment but SLD does allow for very good control over the appearance of map features. The WMS currently supports Shapefiles and PostGIS (MIF/MID and GML should be easy to add as there are datasource implementations in GT2). Right now we are working on improving performance, checking conformance (it works ok with the cubewerx client) and developing a configuration script (something like the map files in mapserver but in XML) If you're interested, I can send you the .war file to play with or provide details for obtaining the whole GT2 codebase.

Now, Iwant to make it work on my internet site. As the web server is running under Linux, I compile mapserver_361 (I tried also with mapserver_362) (./configure, make) and I put the result mapserv to my cgi-bin directory. When I hit the cgi (http://www.mydomain/cgi-bin/mapserv), I've got a window telling me if I want to open or download the file. I think it is because without any extension, the server doesn't understand the script tobe an executable. So I change the name to mapserv.cgi; and now the sever answer me "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request". I made sure that the cgi-bin repertory isreadable and executable for everybody, as well as my mapserv (or mapserv.cgi) file. I'm wondering if the trouble come from the fact my server only work with perl script and mapserv is not written in perl. Is it true ? Is mapserv a perl script ? If not, in which langage is it written ? Do you have any information about installing mapserver on remote internet sever ? thanks in advance Blaise ------------------------------------------------- bpicinbono at esquirolcad.fr ------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I do not mean to question Puneet?s application of his algorithm, but just for the record, I wanted to clarify what the PLSS is and is not. The PLSS is not, and was never intended to be ?regular? grid anything like a map projection system. The PLSS is not a mapping system that can be treated like a UTM or State Plane zone. It is a means for describing and conveying real property. Where a mapping system maintains rectangularity throughout a zone, the PLSS only attempted to maintain rectangularity within a single township, and even there it is not particularly rectangular. The east line of a township was to be geodetic north, with the rest of the lines parallel. The west line, being the east line of the next township, was also geodetic north, so obviously not parallel with the other lines in the township due to convergence. Similarly, the east-west lines were adjusted for convergence every four townships (depending on region) causing large east-west shifts every 24 miles as you go north or south. (Nearly ? mile at my latitude, 43N) In addition to the lack of rectangularity beyond the township, there are an endless array of other things that preclude a ?regular? coverage, such as water bodies and senior rights or surveys. Senior rights or surveys include things like Homestead Entry Surveys, Indian and Military Reservations, and state lines. Independent resurvey, which are quite common in some areas of the western states due to fraudulent original surveys, completely muck up the works. Sorry if I sound like I?m ranting. I don?t mean to be critical of anyone. The PLSS is a truly remarkable system that has served us well for nearly 225 years. I have a great respect for the PLSS, and I am just trying to share a bit of that. Rich At 01:04 AM 9/2/2002 -0500, you wrote: >I have posted a perl script called plsscalc.pl at the above wiki.

What you guys say re PLSS is very true, and impt. to understand for anyone dealing with it. My assumption that it is a "regular and continuous coverage" is _only_ for the sake of using the perl script... nothing more. I can't predict irregularities, and have no confusion with convergence, etc. My problem was thus... given a piece of land that I happen to know has continuous coverage, I needed to identify all the qs within a given distance of a given qs. That is all. I need that to then further query a sql database to retrieve records that have been encoded with dtrsq.

Here's what I want to do 1. Users can enter a comma-delimited file or a shape file to a page (PHP or Cold Fusion) 2. The parameters they have to specify is the input and output projections and also the output format (shape, text, mapinfo) 3. Once submitted, the server will process and send the files or a link to the user e-mail. I'm sure that this can be done. currently i weighing the following options. 1. Use PHP-MS to create and reproject the shape files. Outputs to Mapinfo is using command line OGR2OGR 2. Use OGR2OGR only. Not sure if OGR can create shape files from comma delimited text. 3. Use PostGIS to reproject and OGR2OGR to convert to MapInfo. Basically the underlying process on all the options uses shplib and ogr but i need to know which is the best method. Currently i am in favour of option 3 since it's db-driven. management of the entire process would be easier. On this note, is PostGIS on windows via cywin stable? OS is Windows. comments are welcomed. nyon From Horst.Duester at bd.so.ch Tue Sep 3 02:42:51 2002 From: Horst.Duester at bd.so.ch (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?D=FCster_Horst?=) Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 10:42:51 +0100 Subject: [mapserver-users] MS_MAXSYMBOLS Message-ID: <5B025B1F39D6D4119F5700508BEEEC662DFC0A@srsofaioi4546.ktso.ch> Hi Is it possible to increase the max number of symbols from 64 to p.e. 200.

Now, Iwant to make it work on my internet site. As the web server is running under Linux, I compile mapserver_361 (I tried also with mapserver_362) (./configure, make) and I put the result mapserv to my cgi-bin directory. When I hit the cgi (http://www.mydomain/cgi-bin/mapserv), I've got a window telling me if I want to open or download the file. I think it is because without any extension, the server doesn't understand the script tobe an executable. So I change the name to mapserv.cgi; and now the sever answer me "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request". I made sure that the cgi-bin repertory isreadable and executable for everybody, as well as my mapserv (or mapserv.cgi) file. I'm wondering if the trouble come from the fact my server only work with perl script and mapserv is not written in perl. Is it true ? Is mapserv a perl script ? If not, in which langage is it written ? Do you have any information about installing mapserver on remote internet sever ? thanks in advance Blaise ------------------------------------------------- bpicinbono at esquirolcad.fr ------------------------------------------------- From lfilak at medinaco.org Tue Sep 3 10:34:37 2002 From: lfilak at medinaco.org (Lowell.Filak) Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 13:34:37 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [mapserver-users] PerlMapscript Reference FYI Message-ID: The latest version of the PerlMapscript Reference for 3.6 is temporarily available at: http://www.highwayengineer.co.medina.oh.us/mapserver/docs/perlmapscript-reference-3.6.1.html It should be moved into place in the main documentation path sometime soon.

I think it's critical that MapServer have capabilities in the Java world. A SWIG-based version of java MapScript is one way to get there but we've been hearing about the limitations, primarily issues with threading. There are other options, perhaps the most intruiging would be leveraging GeoTools. There's no way, unless a bounty of developers appears, that MapServer will be re-written in Java. I'm not even sure that it's a good idea. What about the possibility of writing a set of classes on top of GeoTools to mimic MapScript? Sure, some things would have to be written from scratch, but I would imagine (having not seen the GT2 APIs) that much of the core functionality already exists in GeoTools (graphics creation/query). That would give you a pure Java version of MapServer/MapScript. The advantage of mimicing MapScript is that there's already a user/documentation/application base to draw from. You'd probably also have classes available to use the MapServer style of application development (for better or worse) with regular GeoTools components, thus extending MapScript and GeoTools.

For one thing, there is a heavy reliance on client-side java >which is not an option for many (if not most?) MapServer users/developers. What you say is absolutely right for the first version of GeoTools (now known as GT1) which used Java1.1 only code and was targeted directly at clients. However, for the last 8 months or so we have started from a clean slate and developed a new version of GeoTools (GT2) using Java1.4 which is aimed far more at the server side than the old code base. GT2 follows the OGC specs where possible and builds on the excellent Java Topology Suite. In fact, we have just put up a first implementation of the WMS spec with support for the new Styled Layer Descriptors from the OGC. It's still a little slow at the moment but SLD does allow for very good control over the appearance of map features. The WMS currently supports Shapefiles and PostGIS (MIF/MID and GML should be easy to add as there are datasource implementations in GT2). Right now we are working on improving performance, checking conformance (it works ok with the cubewerx client) and developing a configuration script (something like the map files in mapserver but in XML) If you're interested, I can send you the .war file to play with or provide details for obtaining the whole GT2 codebase.

One way I've done some integration is by using a java bean that acts to wrap a CGI instance of the mapserver. See the attached source code for a first attempt. This was written to allow a java developer to embed maps with dynamically generated points (on his side, in java) into to his application. On the MapServer side you just have a basic template that allows for the return of MapServer variables in a java collection (hash). Simple, but effective in some instances. I've included a sample template file as well... Remember, just a first attempt at doing something like this.

If so, look at the logic of your code. You (presumably) have some type of switch statement that decides what to do based on what button is pushed.

Use one or the other. PHP has built in dbase functions (well, provided you compiled PHP --with-dbase, etc.) and they work quite well. You can use Xbase.pm if using Perl, and that too works quite well. Of course, that is not working for you. Did you install Xbase.pm yourself? Did it pass all the tests as it was installed, perhaps via CPAN? How about writing just a small, simple perl script that uses Xbase and see if that works by itself? pk/ > > All is correct when I execute the shell at command line > > But, when I use my php script, I get an error with XBase.pm : > This error is in error_log in apache/logs > > Can't locate XBase.pm in @INC (@INC contains: > /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i586-linux /u > sr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i586-linux > /usr/lib/perl5/site > _perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at > /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/cartotest/dat > a/creeshp.pl line 4. > > But XBase.pm is : > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 : > > ll /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/XBase.pm > -r--r--r-- 1 root root 37159 May 20 2000 > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/XBase.pm > > In the list @INC i can see the folder for XBase.pm > > What may I add to make it working ? > > If someone has a little idea .... > > Thank's a lot > Alain Ferriol From ian at geography.leeds.ac.uk Wed Sep 4 05:53:36 2002 From: ian at geography.leeds.ac.uk (Ian Turton) Date: Wed, 04 Sep 2002 13:53:36 +0100 Subject: [mapserver-users] external links in a map In-Reply-To: <3D75D457.3040002@gmx.net> Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20020904135048.05600470@geog.leeds.ac.uk> At 10:37 04/09/02, Stefan Stern wrote: >Hi all, > >Is there a way to include URL's / links into a map? >For example: the user clicks on an object, symbol or label and the click >triggers the link.

It should be possible to do this in a mapscript script (php, perl, ...) by detecting the click in the script, and having the script send an http "Location:" header back to the browser to cause it to go to whatever URL you want the clicked-on object to correspond to.

I haven't used PHP's dbase functions extensively, so am not sure if it can create dbf files directly or not, but PHP/Mapscript certainly has functions for creating a shape file... hence it also creates it associated dbf and index files. {Or, alternatively, use Perl all the way, even on the first site} > > It's here where I have my problem : the perl script has'nt the correct > rights when started by php.... > When I execute it manually, all is correct and my map is ok. > Again, I am not very conversant with the ins and outs of PHP, but does it not have the facility to execute system commands... hence, you could use PHP to chmod and chown on the generated perl scrit appropriately. pk/ From woodbri at swoodbridge.com Wed Sep 4 05:49:52 2002 From: woodbri at swoodbridge.com (woodbri at swoodbridge.com) Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2002 08:49:52 -0400 Subject: [mapserver-users] Geocoding the Net Message-ID: <3D75C930.7277.824F9C9@localhost> Hi, I found the following links that some of you might be interested in.

Here's something I posted a year or so ago: A TEMPLATE can be either a File or a URL. MapServer examines a template definition, decides whether you have specified a File or a URL, and responds accordingly. For example; "Display_Results.html" looks like a file and so will be processed as a file, but "http://www.some_domain.com/Index.html" looks like a URL and so will be processed as a URL, which is quite a bit different than how a File is processed. If MapServer decides that it has a file template, it goes through the file and replaces stuff within [] with appropriate data. If the template is a URL, however, MapServer redirects to that URL. The URL might be on the same server, or another server. Although MapServer can not process the file pointed to by a URL, it does process the URL string itself. For example: http://www.tetonwyo.org/clerk/query/default.asp?pidn=[PIDN] MapServer will replace [PIDN] with an appropriate value before redirecting to the new location. Note also that you can go to an Active Server Page, or other not-purely HTML type location. (To me, this is really sweet, because it allows you to easily mix CGI MapServer with other web technologies.) Okay, so you read this far and I still haven't told you anything that you didn't already know, but here's what had me flailing. A template can only reference a URL in a SINGLE query mode. So if you are in a MULTIPLE query mode, e.g. nquery, MapServer only attempts to processes the template as a file. Not a good thing if you specified a URL, but still entirely logical. A URL is intrinsically a single thing, and you can't simultaneously redirect a browser to multiple locations. In other words, MapServer assumes that if your query could potentially return more than one result, that you would have specified a File for the template, not a URL. Richard W.

I will send you a sample shapefile if you would like one. run "shp2pgsql --help" to see the syntax. You can pipe the output to a text file and look at it there (i.e. "shp2pgsql myshp.shp newtable testdb > mysql.sql") or pipe it directly to pgsql to load it into the database (i.e. "shp2pgsql myshp.shp newtable testdb | pgsql testdb"). Let me know if you need more help. Tyler p.s. you can also use the "ogr2ogr" tool (part of the gdal/ogr package) to convert other formats directly to postgis.

I think you're really looking for a smart client to be able to do that for you. I don't want people to think I only ever post to this list to say look at GeoTools (www.geotools.org) as I think mapserver is an excellent piece of software and we use it every day in our work in the Centre for Computational Geography. But I really think some of the people on this list are trying to push it way beyond its limits. Maybe this is just because I'm a sad old unix hacker and I like one tool to do one job and do it well rather than bloating a tool so it becomes jack of all trades and master of none. Simply put if your problem needs a smart client then that's the way to go rather than trying to push your server into contortions to do it.

Maybe when I get some time I will give it a whirl, but if it involves learning Java it will get behind in my priority list very rapidly. I am not a big fan of Java. That said, a few responses to your comments... while I am asking for a "smart-ish" client, I am not asking to push Mapserver beyond any limits. I think Steve Lime has emphasized several times that he wants to keep Mapserver lean and mean, which, I think is a most excellent idea. I think this "smart-ish" client can be built with clever use of mapscript and/or some other add-ons. And, of course, there has to be some limit to the smarts that one may want to embed in a browser-based client... otherwise just go and use Arcview or GeoMedia... why bother with Mapserver anyway. Btw, don't call Unix hackers "sad and old" (including yourself)... this list is probably full of Unix-heads who would violently disagree.

If it's reasonable to let MapServer generate point symbols or polygons on a map image, and it's reasonable for MapServer to have a "query" mode in which you click on those things to produce querymaps of that feature, then I think it's equally reasonable for that server to generate flyover labels, etc. for the same feature. It happens that HTML requires a completely different set of tags (imagemap) to do such a thing, but that's not MapServer's fault nor is it a good reason to not want MapServer to generate them. What I do not particularly want is two SEPARATE tools traversing the same data set to generate two related outputs unless there's a deterministic way to ensure they are consistent. If GeoTools and MapServer don't render a polygon feature exactly the same way, my imagemap won't agree with my image. That may or may not be important to my application. GeoTools is CERTAINLY worth investigating for this particular problem, but do think that it's a reasonable thing to want MapServer to do. Another good tool philosophy is that if you've got one tool that already knows how to do 90% of the job, it might be helpful to add the other 10%. I think they're both useful ways of looking at a problem. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: Ian Turton [mailto:ian at geography.leeds.ac.uk] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 2:22 PM To: Puneet Kishor Cc: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] external links in a map At 17:24 04/09/02, Puneet Kishor wrote: >well, it may be a bit more complicated than that... > > > > From: Mark Phillips [mailto:mbp at geomtech.com] > > > Is there a way to include URL's / links into a map? > > > For example: the user clicks on an object, symbol or label > > and the click > > > triggers the link. > > > > It should be possible to do this in a mapscript script (php, > > perl, ...) > > by detecting the click in the script, and having the script send > > an http "Location:" header back to the browser to cause it to go to > > whatever URL you want the clicked-on object to correspond to. > > > > >let's say I am mapping houses... and I want the resulting map to have an >embedded imagemap so that when I click (or, better yet, hover) on a house a >window pops up with some attributes for that house... in other words, I have >streamed the attributes along with the map all of it to the client.

Did you compile gd.lib with the target 'gd.lib' or with target 'all'? Since my compilation target 'all' would throw errors in some test programs but the gd.lib was built fine. Another possibilty could be that you compiled freetype with a wrong runtime c library. Did you use a project in vc++ studio? If so, you can change the runtime library that it is linked against in the project menu -> settings -> c/c++ -> code generation. Use single-threaded option instead of multi-threaded.

I fact I was proposing using MapServer should generate the image (preferably in WMS mode) while the client handles the pop ups or hovers based on info from the server (possibly acting as a Web Feature Server WFS). Certainly for hover/flyover labels you'd want to avoid the over head of a HTTP call each time, it's hard to optimize that stuff in a single program with out latency in too. >GeoTools is CERTAINLY worth investigating for this particular problem, but >do think that it's a reasonable thing to want MapServer to do.

GT2 has a modular architecture, so adding additional functionality like this would not bloat the core API. (For example, the wmsserver is implemented as a separate module) >Thoughts? I'd be more than happy to assist in the creation of an API to mimic MapScript, especially as doing so would ensure that GT2 supported a good key functionality set. I think development would be iterative, with more of the MapScript API being available as the capabilities of GT2 expanded. My own time for such a project would be limited as I have to focus on the main development of GT2, however I could assist in explaining the GT2 architecture, and extending the capabilities of GT2 when they fell behind what was needed to support MapScript.

At that time I needed to add two #defines for BIG_ENDIAN and LITTLE_ENDIAN in mappostgis.c (added in the regular distribution since then, I think), and add compile and link directives both in the main Makefile.vc and in the PHP-Mapscript Makefile.vc: -DUSE _POSTGIS and the paths to libpqdll.lib and the libpq include directory in the Makefile variables POSTGIS_LIB and POSTGIS_INC. The required PostgreSQL libraries are available for Windows, although the complete PostgreSQL database system is not (as yet). This means that with some minor patches it is possible to access layers from a PostGIS server with both CGI and PHP Mapserver. However, PostGIS cannot be running on the same server as the (Windows) MapServer, as PostgreSQL cannot be compiled for native Windows (yet). This leads to severe performance problems, as a MapServer request for a PostGIS layer will cause the complete vector layer to be transported over the net. Only then it can be rendered by MapServer. For that reason I completely switched over to Linux, and can't produce the binaries any more,. It shouldn't be too difficult to add those directives in the regular MapServer distribution. As a general rule MapServer support for MS-Windows compilation is excellent, so I don't understand why PostGIS isn't taken in as an option for compilation or in the binary distributions. Am I overlooking some difficulties here?

Perhaps slightly off-topic, but isn't that just what we are all looking for? MapServer really is a great Open Source product (I don't find it bloated at all, did you ever look at ArcInfo?), but its main strength, like so many OS programs, lies in server side processing. I haven't worked as much with GeoTools as with MapServer, but every time I see it I think, Gee, I would like to use this client interface with MapServer. I think Steve Lime meant something like that too in his reaction. If you are working on server side processing in GeoTools 2, why not add some kind of bridge to MapServer? The CGI interface is essentially quite simple, so adding functionality for it alongside your Java server-processing shouldn't be too much of a problem. Both products working together would certainly be a more powerful combination than the sum of the two of them in isolation.

Two questions: - Do you have any experience in running MapServer CGI (native Windows) alongside PostGIS (cygwin), or should both be compiled under Cygwin? - Do you have pointers to the Native Win32 distribution?

As you can see the comment line right above that line where I'm setting the zoomdir says that we must "select the Pan option", but a zoomdir value of "1" is really zoom in. Selecting Pan didn't work in my web page, so I started manually setting the zoomdir value to 1 (zoom in) and it worked. Couple of notes here. You will probably be able to nail down exactly what your problem is by watching the "Javascript Console" that comes with your web browser. Under Netscape I find this console by pulling down the "Tasks" menu in my browser and going to the "Tools" option and then selecting "Javascript Console". I see exactly which line of my code is crapping out by watching the errors that appear on that console when I load my page. Also, I went ahead and put a couple of lines into my init HTML page to manually set the initial values of a couple of variables...like this: Then in my main HTML page I put these two lines: I did this just to avoid getting any "document.mapserv.zoomdir.value has no properties" errors. Please also note that you must have named your HTML form "mapserv" in order to use my code word-for-word, for example, my HTML FORM tag looks like this:
If the word after the "name=" in your form tag looks any different, then you need to substitute all the "mapserv" words in my javascript code with whatever you have named your form.

Message-ID: <3D77719C.4040503@cnrit.tamu.edu> Hello, I've got my page working pretty well now thanks to lots of Javascript code I borrowed from this mailing list, but I've still got one problem that I can't seem to find a solution for in the archives. I've got my page set up so that the various layers that are available to view are in a list on the right-hand side of the page with checkboxes next to them. And since I wanted the behavior of the page to imitate ArcView as much as possible (because most of my users are used to that interface) I put in a little javascript function that automatically reloads the page whenever they check or uncheck a layer (without having to click a "refresh" button). My problem is that the layer loads or unloads fine, but my image also pans or zooms at the same time depending on what function they have checked. How can I make my page reload without changing the current view at all? Even if they have the "Zoom In" button clicked and the zoomsize is set to "2" I don't want the page to zoom in when they just add a new layer. Is there a value that I can set "zoomdir" to besides 1, 0, or -1 that basically disables panning and zooming altogether?

Well Not to be harsh, but, ummm.... "how 1970's" :-) The only thing limits like this gets you is the need to edit and recompile things to fix them. If you're not doing hard real-time programming (and indeed, you're not) or the limit corresponds to something physical (interface packet size limit, physical number of ports, that kind of thing) dynamic allocation is a win, really. Out of curiosity, from where (and when) did this code evolve? I've never run across an error-handling API quite like msSetError before, and given that there's code in the mapserver release tree that misuses it[1] it would be nice to have more background from which to guess. _Mark_ [1] the shptree tools, at least in 3.6.1, don't report *any* errors, even "permission denied", and are prone to generating corrupt .qix files, and I can't even tell if that's due to unreported errors or other bugs without massaging some of the code... I'll send in patches once I figure out what's wrong, in the short term the hack of noticing that shptreetst dumps core on the corrupt ones leads to an sh one-liner to delete them... of course, the shptree tools are in a different code style than the rest of the tree, likely contributed from the Windows side of things, given the use of Hungarian notation.

Just put this code in the head block of your HTML page: [javascript snipped] As an enemy of anything javascript (and I am not to start an OT discussion here) I am just wondering: if you are hardcoding the extent etc. anyway, why not just build a simple link? Zoom to full extent Works with images as buttons too. I am sorry if I missed something dynamic here, but if it's hardcoded you do not need javascript. If your dynamic parts are mapserver-related (e.g. like the cgi program used) you can put mapserver cgi tags into your template, like [program]. hth, thorsten -- Thorsten Fischer thfischer at mapmedia.de --------------------------------------------------------- MapMedia - Kartographie und raumbezogene Informationssysteme Am Borsigturm 42 13507 Berlin Deutschland http://www.mapmedia.de tel: +49 (0)30 43032102 --------------------------------------------------------- From nospam at cnrit.tamu.edu Fri Sep 6 06:53:04 2002 From: nospam at cnrit.tamu.edu (Mike Smith) Date: Fri, 06 Sep 2002 08:53:04 -0500 Subject: [mapserver-users] How to keep map from zooming/panning when I refresh?

This sorta worked...it kept my image from zooming in, but then it panned to the right for some reason?! I'm not sure what's up with that, but the other problem is that I've got to keep the "zoomdir" variable set because I keep the state of my "Zoom In", "Zoom Out", and "Pan" buttons based on the value of this variable, so setting it to null resets all my buttons. Regardless of my implementation, though, I even had this problem with the Itasca Demo... I'm just wondering if anybody else figured out a way to alter the image without the Mapserver CGI program reading and executing your zoomdir variable.

Remember that portions of this code were written circa 1995, perhaps even earlier, initially as part of a pet project at the University of Minnesota, Department of Forest Resources. Not exactly of hotbed of advanced programming techniques, but then again the focus was on functionality and usability at that stage. Layers and such are dynamically allocated but based upon a limit. Haven't had time to go back and monkey with that. The limits become an issue for maybe one user a year, there is a workaround and there are always more pressing needs. If someone would like to help in converting arrays to lists (layers/symbols/styles and so on) it would be welcomed. The error handling is actually quite old. After all when you're developing for an audience of 1 who cares. Perhaps a re-write for 4.0... Shptree is also quite old. Originally written by Frank, but with no IO component. I added an initial version years ago and another developer built on that with the new style indexes, byte ordering and so on. I myself have not run into the index issues so pass along what you find, or at least shapefiles that are capable of generating the bad indexes. The other shapetools were actually part of the shapelib distribution, so blame them...

Well Not to be harsh, but, ummm.... "how 1970's" :-) The only thing limits like this gets you is the need to edit and recompile things to fix them. If you're not doing hard real-time programming (and indeed, you're not) or the limit corresponds to something physical (interface packet size limit, physical number of ports, that kind of thing) dynamic allocation is a win, really. Out of curiosity, from where (and when) did this code evolve? I've never run across an error-handling API quite like msSetError before, and given that there's code in the mapserver release tree that misuses it[1] it would be nice to have more background from which to guess. _Mark_ [1] the shptree tools, at least in 3.6.1, don't report *any* errors, even "permission denied", and are prone to generating corrupt .qix files, and I can't even tell if that's due to unreported errors or other bugs without massaging some of the code... I'll send in patches once I figure out what's wrong, in the short term the hack of noticing that shptreetst dumps core on the corrupt ones leads to an sh one-liner to delete them... of course, the shptree tools are in a different code style than the rest of the tree, likely contributed from the Windows side of things, given the use of Hungarian notation.

Then I got an Arcview-conversant colleague to write me an Avenue script that went through record by record in that layer and found polys with null or zero area. Deleted those records (probably slivers from shoddy or tired digitizing, or result of multiple cleans), and all was well.

Did you have much trouble dealing with the Caltran agency? I'm in the northeast corridor where there are four states - NJ, NY, MA and CT - that have dominion over metro data and these tend to be pretty parochial. I'm not sure about the others but CT has a traffic control center where it collects realtime flows, I imagine the others do too. Are you planning to expand it to other areas? How did you do the little 'post the flags' for start/finish, excellent idea. You mention pda etc on the website, but how about integrating it with things like my Honda's CD-based mapping system? I would imagine the auto manufacturers would be interested in partnering. Anyway, way cool.

In MapScript, for example, a shape can exist without any parent datasource. That said, the best you could probably expect is a layer name, which I agree should be there. I'll check to code to see if there's more available. If the problem is in one tile amongst thousands than finding the offending data may be tedious. It has not been a design goal to date for MapServer to resolve inconsistencies in data, rather simply print a simple error message and not crash when running into them. Obviously that's changing as more users are pushing to software. On the otherhand there are 1000's of error points and not every one has been revisited for clarity.

I committed a new version of the expression parser to the 3.7 and 3.6 CVS trees last night. One of the additions is a not operator. I've tested it mostly in conjuction with the REQUIRES and LABELREQUIRES context expressions but it should work fine otherwise. You can write things like: EXPRESSION (!('[TEXT]' =~ /^UNK|^N.A/)) There is no negation operator outside of logical expressions (yet) although there may be something built into regex. I think (try it to be sure) that your last idea may work. If a CLASS does not have a COLOR or OUTLINECOLOR then it is skipped. If so, then that would be faster than the combination of logical and regular expressions. BTW To get at the 3.6 CVS version use: cvs -Q checkout -r rel-3-6-0-beta1 mapserver The branch name is confusing but refers to the current 3.6 source.

I think this is working fine, at least the records I don't want are not on the map. I wasted about 2 hours trying to get anything to show up on the map because I set CLASSITEM but forgot to set LABELITEM Boy does that make me feel dumb! -Steve W.

This is Linux RH 6.2, MS 3.6.2 from DMS site, maplab-2.0rc3 built as requested, CGI and with the options per directions. MS is built with -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA I build the vmap0 app that uses uses a tileindex with 4 directories. I found out that one of the files CROPA_area.shp was bad because I couldn't get it to generate an image - The php was generating an error in $map->draw(), so I deleted the files once I found out they were bad. The strange thing is that the maplab preview then started to work, the gmapfactory app still failed to generate an image! So I created an empty CROPA_area.shp fileset for the two directories that where missing it and the problem went away. I know it was that layer because it worked it I toggled it off and failed when it was on. So the questions are: 1) Why did I get the error if -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA is set 2) Why did preview work but not the gmap app Any ideas on this? -Steve _______________________________________________ Maplab-users mailing list Maplab-users at dmsolutions.ca http://lists.dmsolutions.ca/mailman/listinfo/maplab-users ------- End of forwarded message ------- From dendi_rm at hmgf.geoph.itb.ac.id Sat Sep 7 18:25:19 2002 From: dendi_rm at hmgf.geoph.itb.ac.id (Dani 97) Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2002 08:25:19 +0700 (JAVT) Subject: [mapserver-users] ask error Message-ID: hi ... i can't open picture with this message : "msDrawReferenceMap():General error message.

I was just going to pose a question to the list regarding either strange behavior on mapservers part or normal behavior in my own strange brain. If we declare at least some of a layers information in the mapfile (name, data, type, status) the rendering of the labels for the layer are mapserver's usual FAST. However if the layer is created completely within mapscript the rendering of the labels can take much longer (60x's). I can't seem to track down if I am missing some combination necessary for proper labelcache or such. If this doesn't have a simple answer it may have a bearing on why you may want to keep some sort of mapfile. Lowell F.

Message-ID: Here is the Javascript function that I use. I think the problem is that the values for your map click location are kept from the last pan or zoom, so that when the map refreshes it thinks you have clicked off-centre. (this is just my laymans interpretation of it, so don't flame me if that's wrong!) Anyway, this little script works for me: // update the map without panning or zooming function updateMap() { document.mapserv.mode.value = "browse"; document.mapserv.target = "_self"; document.mapserv.zoomdir.value = "0"; document.mapserv.imgext.value = "[minx] [miny] [maxx] [maxy]"; document.mapserv.imgxy.value = "299.5 215.5"; document.mapserv.submit(); } I have attached this function to all the checkboxes I use to turn layers on/off, so when the user clicks on one it automatically updates, and seems to work nicely without panning or zooming. You'll need to change the values in imgxy to reflect your half-image width/height, and also may need to change the document.mapserv if you've called your settings form something different. Good luck!

Thanks for this. This sorta worked...it kept my image from zooming in, but then it panned to the right for some reason?! I'm not sure what's up with that, but the other problem is that I've got to keep the "zoomdir" variable set because I keep the state of my "Zoom In", "Zoom Out", and "Pan" buttons based on the value of this variable, so setting it to null resets all my buttons. Regardless of my implementation, though, I even had this problem with the Itasca Demo... I'm just wondering if anybody else figured out a way to alter the image without the Mapserver CGI program reading and executing your zoomdir variable.

Something like extern int MS_MAXSYMBOLS; // in the header files symbolObj *symbol; int MS_MAXSYMBOLS = 64; // in the c-file where you initialize things symbol = malloc(MS_MAXSYMBOLS * sizeof (symbolObj)); if (numsymbols == MS_MAXSYMBOLS) { // in mapsymbol.c MS_MAXSYMBOLS += 64; symbol = realloc(symbol,MS_MAXSYMBOLS*sizeof(symbolObj)); .... nothing to be changed further on ... } Realloc allocates a new block of memory and copies the contents of the old one to it.

I haven't been able to find a working version of PostgreSQL for native Windows, which is under development (can anyone give me some pointers to non-Cygwin PostgreSQL for Windows)? If you use Cygwin for both, you shouldn't have any problem; Cygwin installation is just a variant of Unix, and is well documented and supported. For MapServer see the docs at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/mapserver-Cygwin-howto.html, and for PostGreSQL Norman Vine's posting at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0209/msg00078.html and the PG-Cygwin mailing list (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/). In Cygwin-MapServer, PostGis is just another option to add in the standard configure script. I haven't use either of them. I use Cygwin all the time on my Windows box, but not for server applications, as I find this easier and more stable on a regular Linux machine. If you prefer a Windows environment for your server (or are bound to it), Cygwin seems to be mature enough according to several postings on this list. Native Windows is another matter. MapServer is very well supported on Windows. Compilation is relatively straightforward, with most configurations available as options in the Makefile, and binaries can be downloaded for four different configurations. PostGis however has not yet been added to the configuration options in the Makefiles, although everything you need is in place. Also, there are no precompiled binaries available (yet) with PostGis support. Daniel Morissette has put it on the todo list "as time permits", so probably it won't be done tomorrow or perhaps even this week. There are not many changes required in the Makefiles however. I posted a few lines on this in http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/wilma/mapserver-users/0209/msg00077.html You wrote that you were able to compile MapServer CGI with PostGIS support, but were unable to get the PHP version running. Perhaps you forgot to adapt the Makefile in the PHP directory also (at least that was my error at first). You need to put in -DUSE_POSTGIS and the paths to the pgsql libraries there too, else you will end up with an error-free compilation, a PostGis enabled MapServer CGI and no PHP-PostGIS functionality. I stopped my own Windows development half a year ago, so I cannot produce recent binaries. However, if you are really stuck and Daniel can't find time in the foreseeable future, drop me a mail and I'll see what I can do. With this PostGIS enabled MapServer you can access any PostGIS database, whether on different machines or on the same, Linux, Cygwin, native or whatever. I just tested it against a database on a a remote Linux machine within our very fast University network. This was not fast enough for productivity purposes (as you say, the whole vector layer has to be transported over the net), so I switched MapServer to the same Linux machine, where it ran only slightly slower with PostGis than when using shapefiles. I didn't try the other way round (switching PostGIS to Windows), as I had read this was not stable yet. According to several postings on this list, this already seems to be a viable solution at this time. I would like to point out however a very important way of use of PostGis on remote servers: you can create maps from layers on different computers. Say, you have a mapfile like: LAYER CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS CONNECTION "my first postgis server" DATA "some sql" etc.. END LAYER CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS CONNECTION "My second postgis server" DATA "some more sql" etc ... END LAYER DATA "my local shapefile etc ... END You effectively create a map from a combination of local data and data from two different mapping servers. This is OpenGis with a vengeance! It works just like a WMS application, only with far much more functionality in retrieving and displaying layers. Moreover, the retrieving language is standard SQL, which can build very powerful mapping queries, and will be expanded shortly by a set of OGR topology operators. This is ways and ways ahead of anything the OpenGis Consortium has reached till now. (As an addendum, you can also put the DATA-query outside the mapfile in the parameter-string of the calling web page. This makes it even more like an immensely more powerful WMS call). I am trying this out on our Beowulf cluster with some dozens of nodes and it looks very promising indeed!

I did some stress testing a while back on a mapserver configuration using something called siege. The most recent released version of siege is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.armstrong.com in the directory pub/siege. The thinks that determine mapservers ability to handle requests are the same things for any other hardware, like number of cpus, amount of memory, speed of disk, load balancing across multiple systems. What your disk cache hit ratio is. Things like its a CGI app don't enter the picture because that is what mapserver IS, sure if it could be a module it might run a little faster, but it isn't right now. But probably the BIGGEST performance problem I have seen repeatedly with mapserver is that people that have not work extensively with do not know how to optimize the map file, tileindexes, spatial indexes, etc to make mapserver fast. I was able to get the system I ran siege on to render consistently at 8-10 secs for out of cache queries and 2-3 secs for cache hit queries. Is this good? Well that was down from 45+ sec per render before I started working with is. But is this good? It was as good as the piece of hardware could do, but it was not a server class machine, it was a desktop system with very slow IDE drives, no raid, single cpu, 1 GHz processor, 1 GB of memory, but I was able to get similar performance from my 450 Mhz, 128 MB box because it was equally I/O bound. If you want to collect stats on your CGI hits, write a script called something like php2 and place in it: time -o /tmp/time-stats.log --append /path/to/php $* and place it in your cgi-bin directory and have your webserver execute it instead of php, or do something similar for mapserv and then run siege and you can compare the siege stats along with the cpu and i/o performance numbers.

It is the path to the directory where you want mapserver to write out the temporary images. Typically you want these images to be dumped in a tmp directory so you can clean the directory from time to time. Additionally, you need to set this tmp directory with permissions to mapserver can write to it. Mapserver (actually your webserver) runs under a specific account (www or apache or nobody). The tmp directory should be writeable by this account. /var/www/html is your document root directory which has nothing to do with mapserver. That is the docs root for Apache... ostensibly you have many other websites in this docs root besides mapserver. Do the following... 1. find out what Apache is running as (look it up in httpd.conf) 2. create a tmp directory under your mapserver application root. for example, /var/www/html/tilladamsniftymapapplcation/tmp assuming that all your mapserver website htmls are sitting under tilladamsniftymapapplcation 3. chown/chgrp/chmod tmp so it can be written to by the account you discovered in #1 above. 4. change the values accordingly in your map file. 5. write a little crontab entry that cleans out the png files created under tmp every n mins or so > > Mapserver itsself is working, because when I query the map (I > can't see, > but I can click "Query" and then redraw the map) Mapserver > returns results > in my templates and also the test worked well > (local-host/cgi-bin/mapserv). > I really have no ideas any more what went wrong, because also > my configuration > went well - Mapserver.config finds gd files and also proj. > > Any help? > Many thanks! :-) > Till > > > > -- -- -- terrestris jetzt online! www.terrestris.de -- -- -- > > ----- > > Dipl.

However, with things like classes/styles/layers it would be nice to be able do things like changing order (insterting in the middle) and actually deleting objects and lists are much better than arrays for those types of operations. Seems like if you're going to cross that bridge then might as well go all the way. I'm not keen on adding global variables again so we'd need object specifc counters to store allocated spaces.

Couldn't you just reallocate a bigger bunch of memory when the maximum is reached? Something like extern int MS_MAXSYMBOLS; // in the header files symbolObj *symbol; int MS_MAXSYMBOLS = 64; // in the c-file where you initialize things symbol = malloc(MS_MAXSYMBOLS * sizeof (symbolObj)); if (numsymbols == MS_MAXSYMBOLS) { // in mapsymbol.c MS_MAXSYMBOLS += 64; symbol = realloc(symbol,MS_MAXSYMBOLS*sizeof(symbolObj)); .... nothing to be changed further on ... } Realloc allocates a new block of memory and copies the contents of the old one to it. Same would go for all MS_MAX... defines in map.h. Wouldn't this solve a lot of problems without extensive rewriting? I hate doing lists in C.

The web/mapserver needs to be able to write files in that folder and, I assume, is not able to. I suggest creating a folder i.e. /var/www/html/tmp and making it owned by the apache (or nobody) user. Others can comment on whether this is the best way to do it or not. (Or else point your imagepath to something like /tmp perhaps?) 1) Have you changed the settings in httpd.conf so that your alias "your.website/tmp" points to the same folder as the imagepath. 2) Where are you defining the imagepath and imageurl? In the .map file? In the .html template file? Or both? If both, then you better make sure they match!

I think the primary objective should be a fast and ressource-savvy application, which mapserver was and is.

Message-ID: <32DC0D0B2E51C745BE6CBA087011DAE80E9F99@ems-ags-01.eub.gov.ab.ca> Hello MapServer listers; I recently downloaded and successfully installed the MapServer Itasca demo (itasca3.5.tar.gz), but have since been unable to get the application going using my own data. (We're running IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000, and I'm using the pre-compiled MapServer exe found in ms36gif_wms.zip.) I - naively - edited the mapfile in the demo data to reflect shapefiles I placed in the "data" folder, and updated the layer names in the demo_init.html file, thinking it might work. Alas, no luck. I get the error message: msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mapserver\map236.map). Much hacking, template and map file references in hand, has not helped. Then I tried constructing a very simple map file, with a very simple template; still no luck: same message. I know the demo works, so the IIS permissions etc. should be OK. Can anyone give me a clue why else I might be receiving this error message? Alternatively, does anyone have a drop-dead simple set of initialization, map and template files for displaying one shapefile from which I could start building a working app? (The on-line tutorial doesn't seem to show all the files needed to construct a browsable map, just the mapfile listing.) Thanks in advance for any help. The template file: MapServer Map 236 Demo

If you interested to use a template you can apply the patch which you find at the end of the mail. Afterwards you can use the keyword ERROR_TEMPLATE in the Web object to specify a template which should be used when the query was empty. Please note that the patch was written for mapserver 3.5 and has been adapted to the mapserver 3.6. So there will appear some warnings when you apply the patch by the 'patch' command. You can ignore them. By the way: It could be interesting to incorporate the patch in the current mapserver code.

Most likely your mapscript is simply not producing correct headers or a complete html file. Why don't you start with a simple page... just pop in the commands for starting and ending the html and start by adding a few basic mapscript commands (comment out the rest). Take it step by step and see if there is any specific command that is choking. Also, make sure your directory where you are writing temporary images is writeable by your webserver. pk/ > > In general, can you not use raster layers with mapscript ? > > Any more ideas on things to look for? > > Thank you > > Brian > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu > [mailto:owner-mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu]On Behalf Of Lowell > Filak > Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 5:12 PM > To: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu; btski at rochester.rr.com > Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Perl Mapscript issue (was: Tried to send > messageto thelist..) > > > Do you have RASTER layers in your mapfile?

I am newbe. context: I use mapserv CGI (no mapscript) and a Apache webserver with PHP (on a windows machine for testing). I am building a web-application with dynamic maps. problem: I use a template file to get information about the map-features on the current map. The tags [shpmidx] and [shpmidy] provides information on the exact position of a feature (see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/template-reference.html ). With simple lineair algebra it is possible to calculate the xy-position of this feature on the actual generated image. (a lineair transformation from "real world" lat-lon coordinates to "image" x-y pixelcoordinates). I use these information to create some kind of javascript rollover interface; if the mouse hovers a feature, the webapplication respons immediately, without the need of connecting to the server. So far so good. Everything works fine. So now for the problem. If I deploy a projection ("proj=stere") Nothing works anymore. That is because [shpmidx] and [shpmidy] gives the lon-lat stuff, but i need the xy coordanates on the generated image of the map. Sure it should be possible to write transformations for projected maps (a lot of sinus and cosinus, arctangens etcetera i suppose) but i believe that's a ticket to the nearest snake pit. Is there a solution for this (withhout the need of writing my own transformation formulas) Or, if I have to write transformation, does anybody now the formulas for this projection: PROJECTION "proj=stere" "lat_0=52.156160556" "lon_0=5.387638889" "k=0.0000999908" "x_0=0.000" "y_0=0.000" "ellps=bessel" END Cheers, Marco Marco Pieck, marco at mediaeval.nl Mediaeval Vorm & Visie http://www.mediaeval.nl/ postbus 1050, 6501 BB Nijmegen, the Netherlands tel: ++ 31 24-3818196, fax: ++ 31 24-3818183 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Well, there's no super easy way to do that. You could use javscript to check the map scale (using [scale]) against the layer scale and based on that write the control. That would work but would require you to have the layer scale information in 2 places (in the template and in the mapfile). You could of course store the layer scales only in the HTML file and pass them to the mapserver (i.e. map_layername_maxscale, map_layername_minscale). I think ideally you'd rather gain access to the values as stored in the mapfile. There's some real value in that so I would propose adding substitutions like [layername_maxscale/minscale] and then you could use those in combination with [scale] and javascript. Thoughts folks?

What about using JavaScript and DHTML to hide / show a DIV element? Basically, you could capture scale as a JS variable: and put your legend entries in separate DIVs:
Roads Layer
If you play around, you can probably figure out a way to do that...You could also (conceivably) generate your legend / layer list using JS to write out the HTML dynamically. The downside to this, of course, is that the JS / DOM implementation across browsers is very inconsistent (MHO). FWIW, this is what makes MapScript nice. Since you are dynamically generating content, you can simply choose not to write out that part of your legend / layer list: if (scale > layer_max_scale) { don't put this line in } else { make an entry } chip -----Original Message----- From: Rob Holloway [mailto:rholloway_1999 at yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 10:34 AM To: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: [mapserver-users] scale dependent layers Hi Does anyone know how to keep scale dependent layers (i.e layers with a maxscale set) from displaying on the template/html form until the specified scale has been reached?

This should be easily achieved by using the [layer_check] template tag. So you could write something like if ( 'checked' == '[mylayername_check]' ) { ... } ... [mylayername_check] will say 'checked' if the layer is on, and otherwise nothing. In the curly braces, maybe you could use some document.writes or something ... Just an idea, I've never done this myself :) Hope this helps, J.F. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Holloway [mailto:rholloway_1999 at yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 11:34 AM To: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: [mapserver-users] scale dependent layers Hi Does anyone know how to keep scale dependent layers (i.e layers with a maxscale set) from displaying on the template/html form until the specified scale has been reached?

Now I got a new one: I'm creating a world-map with ms and several layers. The problem is: Querying the map gives bad results. E.g. Canada is bigger than the whole of northamerica (due to my query, because when I query the US I get results from Canada), if I query any state in africa I get sometimes no results, sometimes results from scandinavia. My mapextent is -180 -112.5 180 112.5 and my imageextent is set to mapextent (the same in itasca demo). When I query e.g. Canada - I get the following results SEARCH WINDOW: -180.450000 -112.050000 179.550000 112.950000 QUERY POINT: (174, 212) image coordinates or (-0.450000, 0.450000) map coordinates QUERY METRICS: number of layers with results=1, total number of results=1 and so on. I can't understand why map coordinates are -0.45 and 0.45 -- when I zoom in I get something like that: SEARCH WINDOW: -142.650000 -16.200000 37.350000 96.300000 QUERY POINT: (187, 232) image coordinates or (-100.575000, 44.100000) map coordinates QUERY METRICS: number of layers with results=1, total number of results=1 But the results won't get better. I think it has something to do with the imgext, imgxy, mapext or mapxy. I tested the data in ArcView, there the queries are OK. any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

If nothing is being written to tmp, then you need to check several things. 1) the default dir for scripts in IIS is /scripts not /cgi-bin. Did you create a virtual directory called /cgi-bin? Is that where the mapserv.exe file is? Did you give the default web user IUSR_ execute permission for that directory both through the IIS manager AND windows? 2) Does IUSR have write access to /tmp? Again, this needs to be done BOTH in the IIS manager and in windows. You can easily check you things are going simply by typing in the path to your mapfile from a URL: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?c:\path-to-your-mapfile.map Chip -----Original Message----- From: John Bennett [mailto:john.bennett at noetix.on.ca] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 1:16 PM To: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: [mapserver-users] FW: Get demo started on Windows 2000.

The problem I ran into was that I could hide the controls of layers that were not being displayed, but as I zoomed in, maplab (PHP/mapscript) could not differentiate the difference between the fact that the control was hidden or that the user had turned it off. I thing if we/you are planning a change in this area, it would be nice to coordinate it with the maplab team, because we need to be able to track the following: 1) user layer status (on/off) -- tracked in mapscript application 2) mapfile layer status (on/off) -- status as coded in mapfile 3) layer is viewable status if it was on (on/off) -- status relative to zoom state Steve does this make sense? maplab team does this make sense? -Steve W.

So to get started, you should take the mapserver demo, or check out maplab (search the archives) to build a base map with the country outlines and whatever else you want, the query the database to get you points based on where or not their lat/long falls between the extents of the map and draw them on the map using the above article I mentioned.

This could be the 3 points you have in your example, but also could be a shape or lat/lon from a database (eg. dbf/MySQL) *** Option 2) and 3) and 4) you have in your mapscript. This creates a shapefile + corresponding dbf-file. *** Option 5) and 6) is best done using a dummy-layer which is set to OFF in your map-file. You turn it on AND attach the new shapefile-data from by using: $Dummylayer = ms_newLayerObj($Map); // a new layerobject $Dummylayer = $Map->getLayerByName("MapLayer"); $Dummylayer->set("status", 1); // Turn it on $Dummylayer->set("data", $shpFname); // Add your created data While your map-layer looks something like: LAYER NAME "MapLayer" TYPE POINT STATUS OFF CLASS SYMBOL 'circle' COLOR 0 0 0 SIZE 3 END END *** Option 7) is something like: $ImgMap = $Map->draw(); This should do the trick.

I don't think it will be immediately useful for creating MapServer applications accessible to everyone, but if you have time to spare for research and development, you should certainly have a look. Another point of Jean-Francois is of even more general interest I think: developing according to open standards (www.w3c.org). For myself I use Netscape 7/Mozilla as a reference browser to develop applications, and adapt those where necessary to Internet Explorer 5.5. (I like to use Netscape for its own sake too). IE is for the most part W3C compatible, but Microsoft has added tons of features which can be convenient but don't add functionality. The main real difference is in the Event model, but this is not particularly difficult to overcome by cross browser scripting. So if you develop from IE you will invariable end up with something that cannot be read by other browsers. On the other hand, developing according to W3C standards not only opens up the full potential of modern browsers (including IE if you put some effort into it), but also gives access to browsers like Netscape, Konqueror and Opera. I find this particularly interesting for the growing group of Linux end users. Of course older browsers, like Netscape 4 or IE 4 are out, so if you need to address those also, W3C standards are not for you. A very clear introduction to W3C compliant programming (including IE5) is http://www.brainjar.com. It gives very good, simple examples of resizable windows and menus within a Web browser. It sure would be a cool thing to put MapServer maps into such an interface, and give some flavor of things to come with XUL. Of course, this is just my personal point of view. It would be nice to hear other people's ideas about possible future directions for MapServer client side programming (JavaScript, Java, Flash, ... ?)

No. This is a little annoying... especially from the standpoint of trying to use HTML legends (i.e. a legend template). On the one hand, I understand that having an icon for a raster layer is somewhat difficult (i.e... what would you use for an aerial photograph?)... there are still circumstances where you would want SOMETHING (a classified raster, for instance). For the time being I just bagged on it, since my main goal was to create a set of layer controls that also have some legend functionality. >... could be substituted in using IFs and ELSES when the layer > name matches, but that obviously takes away from the mapfile- > driven automation. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Perhaps a combination would work. I think of raster data as being split into two groups: - continuous data / imagery - aerial and satellite photography, scanned base maps - classified data - land cover, elevation data, etc. For 'continuous data'... I'm not sure you NEED an icon. I mean, for BW photography... color doesn't necessarily have any meaning w/ resp to a legend. For classified data... I think you could still use mapscript to loop through the classes on the object and pull out the color object to make an icon. Haven't tried this... but I don't see why it would not work.

OK... I figured out how to do this... and put the code in the Wiki at the following location: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPDynLegend (There is a link under the Examples section of PHP MapScript) Basically what it does is reads a mapfile, and creates a legend / layer control on the fly. Furthermore, it sets up the controls so that state is maintained with only a couple of lines of code... and any changes to the mapfile (i.e. additional layers, changes to layers) are automatically reflected in the application (i.e. there's no need to make changes to the PHP part of the application).

I thought it made the example too complex, but, maybe I should add it in. The way I've handled this in the past was to do a check on SCALE vs MAXSCALE and MINSCALE. If the layer won't be displayed (i.e. SCALE > MAXSCALE OR SCALE < MINSCALE), then I 1) echoed 'disabled' in the checkbox's HTML definition 2) showed that line of the legend in a different color... I prefer gray. This way, the user still sees that it's there... but it just is unavailable. If this doesn't make sense, let me know... and I'll send you some code.

Chip, have you thought about what happens when layers turn on and off due to scales of visibility? A pretty common problem we are seeing is that people set certain layers to appear as the user zooms in, but if the layer doesn't appear in the $_POST data then it is turned off. I don't think that the code you wrote handles this case.

I have a polygon layer that was created as a MIF file and converted to a SHP file using FME. When this process was done FME created a layer of the type PolygonM (representation of a set of parts (rings). Each part (ring) is a set of points connected by segments that close back to the first point.). Using MapLab and MapServer directly on the Internet I've never had a problem displaying this layer. I've been experimenting with creating a WMS server. When I use the GetMap request on that layer as part of the command: http:///cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=wms.map&VERSION=1.1.0&SERVICE=wms& REQUEST=GetMap I get an error saying that only a polygon layer can be created with a polygon request. If I go back to ArcView and convert the PolygonM to a simple Polygon the request works fine. Does anyone know anything about support for PolygonM in OGC? I don't really want to go back and reconvert all the files.

I am newbe. context: I use mapserv CGI (no mapscript) and a Apache webserver with PHP (on a windows machine for testing). I am building a web-application with dynamic maps. problem: I use a template file to get information about the map-features on the current map. The tags [shpmidx] and [shpmidy] provides information on the exact position of a feature (see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/template-reference.html ). With simple lineair algebra it is possible to calculate the xy-position of this feature on the actual generated image. (a lineair transformation from "real world" lat-lon coordinates to "image" x-y pixelcoordinates). I use these information to create some kind of javascript rollover interface; if the mouse hovers a feature, the webapplication respons immediately, without the need of connecting to the server. So far so good. Everything works fine. So now for the problem. If I deploy a projection ("proj=stere") Nothing works anymore. That is because [shpmidx] and [shpmidy] gives the lon-lat stuff, but i need the xy coordanates on the generated image of the map. Sure it should be possible to write transformations for projected maps (a lot of sinus and cosinus, arctangens etcetera i suppose) but i believe that's a ticket to the nearest snake pit. Is there a solution for this (withhout the need of writing my own transformation formulas) Or, if I have to write transformation, does anybody now the formulas for this projection: PROJECTION "proj=stere" "lat_0=52.156160556" "lon_0=5.387638889" "k=0.0000999908" "x_0=0.000" "y_0=0.000" "ellps=bessel" END Cheers, Marco Marco Pieck, marco at mediaeval.nl Mediaeval Vorm & Visie http://www.mediaeval.nl/ postbus 1050, 6501 BB Nijmegen, the Netherlands tel: ++ 31 24-3818196, fax: ++ 31 24-3818183 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What about using JavaScript and DHTML to hide / show a DIV element? Basically, you could capture scale as a JS variable: and put your legend entries in separate DIVs:

Roads Layer
If you play around, you can probably figure out a way to do that...You could also (conceivably) generate your legend / layer list using JS to write out the HTML dynamically. The downside to this, of course, is that the JS / DOM implementation across browsers is very inconsistent (MHO). FWIW, this is what makes MapScript nice. Since you are dynamically generating content, you can simply choose not to write out that part of your legend / layer list: if (scale > layer_max_scale) { don't put this line in } else { make an entry } chip -----Original Message----- From: Rob Holloway [mailto:rholloway_1999 at yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 10:34 AM To: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: [mapserver-users] scale dependent layers Hi Does anyone know how to keep scale dependent layers (i.e layers with a maxscale set) from displaying on the template/html form until the specified scale has been reached?

If nothing is being written to tmp, then you need to check several things. 1) the default dir for scripts in IIS is /scripts not /cgi-bin. Did you create a virtual directory called /cgi-bin? Is that where the mapserv.exe file is? Did you give the default web user IUSR_ execute permission for that directory both through the IIS manager AND windows? 2) Does IUSR have write access to /tmp? Again, this needs to be done BOTH in the IIS manager and in windows. You can easily check you things are going simply by typing in the path to your mapfile from a URL: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?c:\path-to-your-mapfile.map Chip -----Original Message----- From: John Bennett [mailto:john.bennett at noetix.on.ca] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 1:16 PM To: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: [mapserver-users] FW: Get demo started on Windows 2000.

The problem I ran into was that I could hide the controls of layers that were not being displayed, but as I zoomed in, maplab (PHP/mapscript) could not differentiate the difference between the fact that the control was hidden or that the user had turned it off. I thing if we/you are planning a change in this area, it would be nice to coordinate it with the maplab team, because we need to be able to track the following: 1) user layer status (on/off) -- tracked in mapscript application 2) mapfile layer status (on/off) -- status as coded in mapfile 3) layer is viewable status if it was on (on/off) -- status relative to zoom state Steve does this make sense? maplab team does this make sense? -Steve W.

It seems that previously mentioned problem only occurs with the following definition in a LAYER object of a MapServer map file: PROJECTION AUTO END So, I suspect MITAB can't automatically determine the projection on a MapInfo 7.0 layer. Luckily, explicitly stating the projection has resolved the problems I was having. Thanks, Dan Martin -----Original Message----- From: Martin, Daniel Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 4:19 PM To: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: [mapserver-users] OGR - MapInfo 7.0 I originally sent this message to the GDAL mailing list, but I got no response. So, I thought I would try here. I've been using MapServer with MapInfo data through OGR support for MapInfo TAB format since it was available. I recently upgraded to MapInfo 7.0. It appears though that any data produced with 7.0 doesn't work in MapServer. Can someone confirm: Is MapInfo 7.0 producing a new format? If so, is that format not currently supported by OGR? Is there any timeline on support?

In fact I do not think you want the layers here to be hidden. It is important to be able to see what is happening when.

I want to display a shapefile that is created by the following sample dataset table: ################################################# id,description,samplesites,x_british_survey,y_british_survey T1,"u/s of N-Y-F",T,267009,196614 T2,"At mouth of N-Y-F",T,267000,196592 T3,"d/s of N-Y-F",T,266985,196585 ################################################# Just a table that stores Id, description, samplesites and GPS coordinates. 1. The following extract of my mapfile works fine and the layer displays the T1 GPS Point: ##################################### LAYER # start of the gps layer object NAME "gps" DATA "gps140902" STATUS DEFAULT TYPE POINT CLASSITEM "Id" # attribut CLASS # gps points class NAME "f_gps" EXPRESSION "T1" COLOR 255 0 0 SYMBOL 'circle' SIZE 10 END # end of Gps class object END # end Layer ###################################### 2. BUT, when I change the CLASSITEM to "Samplesites", which is a proper identifier as well: #################################### LAYER # start of the gps layer object NAME "gps" DATA "gps140902" STATUS DEFAULT TYPE POINT CLASSITEM "Samplesites" # attribut CLASS # gps points class NAME "f_gps" EXPRESSION "T" COLOR 255 0 0 SYMBOL 'circle' SIZE 10 END # end of Gps class object #################################### the following error occurs: ######################## msDBFGetItemIndex(): DBASE file error. Item 'Samplesites' not found. ########################### I tried "SAMPLESITES" and "samplesites" unsuccessfully as well. I guess Mapserver can't deal with my created Shapefile set. Where does the "msDBFGetItemIndex()" function look for the identifier (e.g. Samplesites)? In the .dbf file or in the .shp file itself?

I'd appreciate opinions one way or another. I've always viewed query output as being pure, but if you look at the way WMS works you certainly have that control. I'd like to get this resolved for 3.7. Projection-wise, you'll definitely see better performance if you pre-project. On windows I don't know a tool, other than ArcView and such that you can do this with. I submitted a perl script to the Wiki to do this with MapScript on the UNIX side of things. If you've got a linux box laying around you could make use of that. What I, or someone else should do is set up a projection service on a website. Upload a shapefile with a projection definition and return a new shapefile. Anyone? Anyone?

I am newbe. context: I use mapserv CGI (no mapscript) and a Apache webserver with PHP (on a windows machine for testing). I am building a web-application with dynamic maps. problem: I use a template file to get information about the map-features on the current map. The tags [shpmidx] and [shpmidy] provides information on the exact position of a feature (see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/template-reference.html ). With simple lineair algebra it is possible to calculate the xy-position of this feature on the actual generated image. (a lineair transformation from "real world" lat-lon coordinates to "image" x-y pixelcoordinates). I use these information to create some kind of javascript rollover interface; if the mouse hovers a feature, the webapplication respons immediately, without the need of connecting to the server. So far so good. Everything works fine. So now for the problem. If I deploy a projection ("proj=stere") Nothing works anymore. That is because [shpmidx] and [shpmidy] gives the lon-lat stuff, but i need the xy coordanates on the generated image of the map. Sure it should be possible to write transformations for projected maps (a lot of sinus and cosinus, arctangens etcetera i suppose) but i believe that's a ticket to the nearest snake pit. Is there a solution for this (withhout the need of writing my own transformation formulas) Or, if I have to write transformation, does anybody now the formulas for this projection: PROJECTION "proj=stere" "lat_0=52.156160556" "lon_0=5.387638889" "k=0.0000999908" "x_0=0.000" "y_0=0.000" "ellps=bessel" END Cheers, Marco Marco Pieck, marco at mediaeval.nl Mediaeval Vorm & Visie http://www.mediaeval.nl/ postbus 1050, 6501 BB Nijmegen, the Netherlands tel: ++ 31 24-3818196, fax: ++ 31 24-3818183 From steve.lime at dnr.state.mn.us Sat Sep 14 10:00:49 2002 From: steve.lime at dnr.state.mn.us (Steve Lime) Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 12:00:49 -0500 Subject: [mapserver-users] template file links with a "?" in it Message-ID: The ? isn't the problem.

Here is one layer that styles different attributes in different ways. Is this what you want? I your case you could change CLASSITEM CFCC to CLASSITEM group or CLASSITEM id and change the EXPRESSION statements appropriately. In theory, you could do all of this dynamically in PHP/Mapscript without a mapfile if that is what you are asking. -Steve LAYER NAME landmark TYPE POLYGON STATUS ON TILEINDEX "tgrindex" DATA landmark # MAXSCALE 1999999 MAXSCALE 800000 CLASSITEM CFCC CLASS EXPRESSION /^D10/ NAME "Military" # Military Installation or Reservation OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 COLOR 153 153 102 END CLASS EXPRESSION /^D4/ NAME "Education" # Education and Religious institutions # includes academy, school, colleg or university OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 COLOR 198 198 222 END CLASS EXPRESSION /^D5/ NAME "Transportation" # Transportation terminals (airport, airfield, train, bus, marine) OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 COLOR 153 153 153 END CLASS EXPRESSION /^D6/ NAME "Centers" # Employment center, shopping or major retail center # Industrial bldg or park, office Bldg or park # Amusement Center, Government of other centers OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 COLOR 153 102 102 END CLASS EXPRESSION /^D81/ NAME "Golf Course" OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 COLOR 206 222 198 END CLASS EXPRESSION /^D8[0345]/ NAME "Parks" # Open Space, National Park, Forests # or other federal land, State or Local Park or forest OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 COLOR 174 206 165 END METADATA "DESCRIPTION" "Area Landmarks" "RESULT_FIELDS" "LAND CFCC NAME" END HEADER "html/land_header.html" FOOTER "html/land_footer.html" TEMPLATE "html/land.html" TOLERANCE 3 END On 16 Sep 2002 at 16:22, Stefan Stern wrote: > Hi, > > Sorry, I missed the spot. ;-) > > The dataset is very long and in order to cover all occurences (each > single id, each group) I'd had to write one mapfile for each id or one > layer per id. > > Is there a way to make the mapfile more vital, e.g. by passing a > parameter that decides which filter or expression to use? e.g. #### > EXPRESSION "T1" ### could be used with a variable like : ## EXPRESSION > "$filter" ## > > That's where I thought about letting PHP create a temporary mapfile > (with substituted filters in the EXPRESSION statement) and pass it to > mapserver. > > Does anybody se an alternative way? > > Regards, > Stefan > > > > > > > > woodbri at swoodbridge.com wrote: > > >Stefan, > > > >Yes, you can use CLASS EXPRESSIONS and I believe > >FILTER EXPRESSIONS.

If you are such a company or individual, could you drop me a note? Is there such a list already in existence, by the way? If so, could somebody point me to it. If not, then Steve would you be open to adding a list to the MapServer web site? I'd be happy to compile the list. I'm also interested in hearing about options for hosting MapServer applications. Are there any companies out there that offer web hosting services that include MapServer capabilities? (Either directly, as an "official" part of what is offered, or indirectly, in the sense that customers get enough access to the server to install and use their own copy of MapServer)? The reason I'm interested in these things is that I'm currently doing some work for an environmental organization that wants to set up an interactive map on their web site. They are trying to decide between using ArcIMS and MapServer, and I am trying to advise them on this. I personally don't need to be convinced. I've developed several applications with MapServer and I love it. I can cite lots of ways that I think MapServer is technically superior to ArcIMS for what this organization needs. The folks who will make the decision, however, are non-technical administrator types and are somewhat uncomfortable going with a free software product that doesn't come with guaranteed support from a well-established company and an easily identifiable pool of programmers trained to use it. They're worried that if they use me to develop this application in MapServer, and down the road I move on to something else and am not available, they'll have a difficult time finding consultants with MapServer experience who can help them maintain and/or modify the application. Another consideration is that they'd like this project to be replicable. They'd like to be able to make the basic application, once it's developed, available to other environmental organizations. So a similar concern arises: even if I continue to provide MapServer support myself, there's only one of me. If a bunch of other organizations decide they want to deploy the application on their web sites, will they be able to find MapServer-qualified programmers who can help them? Will they be able to find an ISP who will host it, if they don't own their own server? I believe that the answers to these questions are all "yes", but I need hard eveidence. It would be helpful if I could point to a list of companies and/or individual consultants who provide MapServer support and development, and ISPs who will host MapServer applications, to make the case that MapServer is in fact a well-established product and that organizations who choose to invest in it will not find themselves stranded in the future. I'd also be interested in hearing any other thoughts, or stories about similar experiences, that people out there might have about the decision to go with MapServer vs ArcIMS. I'm mostly interested in things that would make sense to an administrator or manager, rather than technical details. (One obvious issue is cost, of course: ArcIMS costs $$ and MapSever is free. However in the particular case I'm dealing with right now, ESRI has donated a copy of ArcIMS.) Thanks in advance! --Mark Mark Phillips @ Geometry Technologies, LLC P.O.

Ourselves, we have been involved with a project that can comfortably generate over 100,000 map draws a day. There was also an example a couple of years ago covering the Canadian Federal election where a MapServer based application was the only one able to handle the enormous traffic that resulted. I believe there are a few other groups using MapServer on this list who have also indicated that they have been using it for high volumes. I'm not sure if anyone has done a thorough comparison of ArcIMS with Oracle vs. MapServer with either tuned flat files, connection to Oracle Spatial, SDE or PostGIS, but I suspect that MapServer would come out on top hands down. Now that this has been brought up - has anyone done any kind of benchmarking like this? I'd love to have that at my disposal in the ongoing argument to potential clients for using MapServer.

That's not a "feature matrix" sort of discussion, but I have built and host MapServer applications serving multiple terabytes of data and apps with hundreds of thousands of maps per day. I'm not going to write up some sales pitch document about how MapServer works wonders, because I think large-scale applications deployment involves understanding a lot of things above and beyond which application to choose. I'm sure I could choke MapServer on a few hundred kilobytes of data if I organized it badly enough and screwed up the server config to match. So if someone does want to discuss large-scale MapServer applications, they're going to need to be able to describe both the application and the data! - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 (978) 251-4242 ed at topozone.com -----Original Message----- From: John Zastrow [mailto:john1zastrow at yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 6:50 PM To: Mark Phillips; mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] professional MapServer services list? / ArcIMS-MapServer choice Mark and List, I'm a similar boat, except that it's my own group that I'd be 'selling' Mapserver to.

There was also an example a couple of years ago covering the Canadian Federal election where a MapServer based application was the only one able to handle the enormous traffic that resulted. I believe there are a few other groups using MapServer on this list who have also indicated that they have been using it for high volumes. I'm not sure if anyone has done a thorough comparison of ArcIMS with Oracle vs. MapServer with either tuned flat files, connection to Oracle Spatial, SDE or PostGIS, but I suspect that MapServer would come out on top hands down. Now that this has been brought up - has anyone done any kind of benchmarking like this? I'd love to have that at my disposal in the ongoing argument to potential clients for using MapServer.

The way I did this was to generate random hits at different location over the spatial area of the map and at random zoom scales. This seemed to work well and to avoid problems like getting all your hits out of the files system cache which is about 10-20 times faster than out of cache hits. Siege measures the user response times of the server. I ran tests both from the server (Siege itself does not generate much load on the system) and from a remote host to compare results to look at the potential impact on network latency. For diagnostic evaluation of how time was being spend on the server I wrote a simple shell script like: time --append -o /path/to/logfile /path/to/php $* and then analyzed the logfile to look at the process stats. This information is only good for a given configuration but can be used to tune it and to predict what the maximum potential through put is going to be. If you could standardize a dataset and mapfile configuration, it would be possible to compare mapserver version to version if you keep the hardware config the same, or evaluate hardware configs, if you keep mapserver version constant. There are probably a few other things that need to be monitored also, but you probably already know that. Just my $0.02, -Steve W.

My interest in this package stems from trying to optimize maplab using the profiler. We abandoned the package early on because we couldn't get a stable front end for it. Recently, the author added a php-accessible interface for retrieving profiling results and we tried it again with some success. We were able to pin-point a problem in our code and identify that amap was taking several seconds to draw. Unfortunately, it didn't tell us what was wrong with the map file, so we resorted to hacking mapserver to find the layer that was causing the problem. All that to say that you can now quite easily profile a php application. I would suggest that for a benchmarking process to be useful it has to be compared to other products under the same conditions. I believe some else pointed out that with poor data and poor server configuration, it would be easy to bring mapserver to a grinding halt (as with any other product as well). I also think that a benchmark should try to equalize results based on different data, hardware, web servers, etc but I have no idea how one would approach that.

I'd love to have that at my disposal in the > ongoing argument to potential clients for using MapServer. I discussed this issue at the AGIT 2002 in Austria. There are some tools that might help to get a first impression, e.g. Siege (http://www.joedog.org/siege/index.shtml) which we applied for another web application. Direct comparison is difficult as you might remember from the benchmarking of fileservers Microsoft vs GNU/Linux. But if you have a running MapServer application you may run Siege against it to see how it performs. This should give you enough good arguments.

ArcIMS is a proprietary commercial map server. I stress this because there are companies around the globe that provide first class service for MapServer.

I have looked at the tutorial at http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests/itemquery/test.html but it seems to be for version 3.3 and does not work properly with version 3.6. I am having problems with matching numbers and strings with attribute values. Mapserver returns either the first item in the dbase column, finds a number with the same last few digits, or does not find a match at all, despite the fact that the correct query string is being sent. I suspect the 'Filter' statement in the map file and my lack of knowledge of regular expressions. Can someone perhaps give me some examples of what the Filter statement should look like when one is trying to find a shape with either numeric and/or string attributes.

Are you trying to display level 13? If so, keep in mind that layer # and level # are not synonymous! The different Levels in ogr usually represent feature types (i.e. points, lines, labels, polygons, etc). In the case of DGN files I find that my files only have 1 "layer" called elements. So I would specify ..../teste.dgn, 0 Keep also in mind that the layer number in mapserver (i.e. 0) is one less (-1) than the ogr layer number (i.e. 1) - that is why I use 0 instead of 1 to get the elements layer. You would then have to use filter or class expressions to see specific LEVELS in the file. Does that make sense to you? Unless there is a bug in OGR, you should NOT have to separate levels into different files. You just need to use a different piece of mapserver functionality to filter out the other levels (or colours, types, graphicgroup #, weight, style, etc). Let us know if you need more help on this. Feel free to email me a sample DGN file and I'll tell you what I see in it. |---------+---------------------------------------> | | "gabriel" | | | | | | Sent by: | | | owner-mapserver-users at lists.| | | gis.umn.edu | | | | | | | | | 09/18/2002 10:59 AM | | | | |---------+---------------------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: | | cc: | | Fax to: | | Subject: [mapserver-users] OGR error | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Dear Listers.

Any Zope method that uses mapscript should be an external method because you'll need to access a map file on the filesystem. As well, if you want to use the module 'sys', you'll need to make drawmap() into an external method. Next, you need to build mapscript using the same python version as comes with Zope. If you're using Zope 2.5, you'll need to build python mapscript with python 2.1, and then install mapscript inside Zope's own python. You can do this manually or by using a --prefix option with the setup.py script. Once you get a mapscript installed among your other Zope python modules, you should be ready to go. Now, the drawing errors: I experienced some problems like this with the 3.5 version of mapserver, and the problems went away when I moved up to mapserver 3.6 and 3.7. So, honestly, I didn't overcome this problem, but jumped over it.

Not as "integrated" as using Python MapScript and far less flexible, but very fast, simple, and stable. I however never had success even building mapscript for mapserver 3.6.1 ... How did you guys do it? I get a bunch of errors about "ms_error" being undeclared. even Frank had mentionned this would not be fixed until 3.7 ... And right now for me 3.7 isn't compiling ...

I worry that loading such a complex module into zope could have consequences, especially as I keep hearing about the threading issues of libmap in relation to PHP.

Also, I tried out with NAD83 and NAD27 and both seemed to work OK, with slight difference in the results presumably representing the datum shift. If the above definition doesn't work in MapServer then I don't know what the issue is. If you are in a position to do so, you should try debugging within MapServer.

I?m new to Mapserver. Hope this problem has not been discussed earlier. I want to generate a dynamic layer, based on a SQL query. I managed to query the MySQL database, and display the points on the map. But the last point of the query result array is not displayed. I tried to change the sorting order, and I always notice the same problem. Is it really the problem or is there another one I did not see? Below is a part of the code and the function I use to build the layer. I used part of Jan Mantkowski?s code (thanks) by correcting a small mistake : you can?t parse the same MySQL query result twice (using mysql_fetch_array), because when you have reached the end of the query result, the result array variable is empty, and your script has nothing to draw anymore. So you can either requery the database before you parse the result array again, or try to parse it only once (best). Thanks for your ideas on my pb.

But it does do some things behind the curtain (create/modify shape/dbf-files, query a MySQL-DB, draw layers with filters, etc. ). These things work now pretty stable. I had also several problems with stability (seg faults), especially when creating shapefile/dbf-files. These could be minimized by additionally using the pyshapelib. The combination with zope has one problem we are facing at the moment, that is when your mapscript external method crashes, ZOPE crashes too (for those who don't know ZOPE this can mean the whole website is down). I surely will look deeper into these problems and found one helpful little python module, called WAD (wrapped application debugger). This module tries to catch fatal errors and convert them in "normal" exceptions.

The question becomes how do you want the API to look. What I did with the Tiger geocoder was to write a php wrapper around it so you could call it as a php function, like $results = geocoder($name, $country, $dbflags, $exact); and $results would be either a hashed array with keys like: STATUS = error return code if it encountered a problem COUNT = number of db hits returned NAME = array of names, COUNT long LAT = array of LAT values, COUNT long LON = array of LON values, COUNT long it would be possible to do something similar for the vmap0 or any mapserver app to fetch map pages or to fetch map images if you just wanted to imbed them as static images on a page.

For the simplest example, you could use Zope to construct a WMS request to draw a map image. Zope (it's Python, after all) has great XML handling, so you could make a Zope application that would request the layer descriptions from mapserver WMS, then build a web GUI that allows the user to turn layers off/on, etc. For more advanced applications, again, use WMS feature requests to grab information from mapserv for processing in Zope. I would envision the development of a set of Zope ZClasses for WMS communication with mapserver that handle the gory details of this problem. The ZClasses could hide all the communications, allow for decoding of GML, and perhaps provide some rudimentary HTML display functionality. In my view, this strategy for Zope-mapserver integration is MUCH preferred over mapscript because: 0) Completely standards based (WMS, GML) 1) No need for Zope and mapserver to be on the same computer 2) No need to use Zope external methods (which can be a pain to debug) 3) No "moving target" as mapscript evolves, the Zope code is stable as mapserver evolves 4) Conceptually identical to Zope integration with databases and other fun stuff 5) Compatible with ArcIMS as well as mapserver What to y'all think of this idea? I'd recommend making a generic Python WMS Client library and wrapping it up in Zope.

A solution you could try is to configure your web server setup (Apache, IIS?) to recognize .html as an executable script, done so by PHP. I had seen this in an old Linux Journal article, where it covered migrating an HTML based site to PHP. I can check this evening for the article, and can sum it for you if you'd like.

If it's appropriate, do you know who's best to email with the information about Freetype 2.x vs. Freetype 1.x to get the website updated? Thanks, Jonathan W.

I still feel compelled to add my $0.02. Several months ago we had ArcIMS and MapServer on the bench for a general comparison. We had certain guidlines which led us to select MapServer as the best fit for our needs. Our first requirement was the ability to interact with our custom route server. This server is very straight forward and we had complete control of the protocol. It was built on *nix as was our basic CGI interface. Whatever we selected for map generation had to be controllable from the *nix server using server side cgi. We put two programmers on the job. One with ArcIMS, the other with MapServer. We had both producing maps of our area of interest within a week. The ArcIMS maps were an early lead as the map display control was a glitzy wizard. The next step of integrating to our server was a big challenge for ArcIMS and trivial for MapServer. The ArcIMS product required the development of a custom servlet on the *nix side to interface with the java servlet on a Win2000 server. This seemed ugly, so I called ESRI tech support. Quite frankly they led me in circles for a week. Ultimately they offered to develop a custom server, or I could wait for the *nix version. It was destined to be database driven, closed source, with a fixed interface style. While I am usually a proponent of orthogonal interfaces, this one was cumbersome at best. At that point I gave up on ArcIMS for a while to see how interfacing MapServer would go. It took two hours to get our routes to paint on top of maps with controllable extent. Within a few days we had live sensor data and a user interface for the route engine. We sent the eval copy back to ESRI, thanking them for their time and citing our concerns. I think they may very well have responded to some of those, but it was too late for us. At that point we had a handle on pre-rastering the static portions of our maps (still not perfect, but hey we're in beta). Now our maps render quickly enough to show off. Our firm is into search and route. We are not really a GIS firm. We focus on applying recent research results in search, scheduling, and constraint satisfaction to military and industrial optimization problems. TrafficDodger is a service intended to showcase our prediction, routing, and scheduling tools. It just happened that I have some background in PERL and had the stomach to deal with cross-browser dhtml. Now I am the resident MapServer expert (though I do not profess to be an expert). It seems to me that anyone with a handle on PERL or PHP could crank out a MapServer application in a few short weeks. I have built some sweet internal tools using MapServer without much effort. To make a long story longer, I would reccomend MapServer over competitive products without hesitation. The proof is in the applications that are out there. I hope that our site is a useful representation of what can be done with a small amount of knowlege and a bit of tenacity.

Here is the scenario: I have a mapfile which defines a number of layers for cities, rivers and water areas. These are standard shape files etc, and query fine. I also create a dummy layer dynamically from data retrieved by sql from a database. This returns the lat/longitude and some other data relating to descriptions and numbers etc. It all seems to work fine, but it does not query either by point or rectangle. Here are the different approaches I have tried: * Create the metadata directly using the setMetaData function. * I have added the template line within the class, which I found was a necessary part of the query. * I tried adding a labelitem. * I created a shapefile using newShapeFileObj and adding data in. * Set the data to the datafile name. (Creates the data files fine) The basis of code is the standard GMap demo. It is running on a Windows system (not my choice :) and PHP/Mapscript. Here is the code I have to generate the data layer: // The query is run and it populates the sites[] array with // the data from the sql database. $dummy_layer = $gpoMap->getLayerByName('dummy'); $dummyclass = ms_newClassObj($dummy_layer); $dummy_layer->set("labelitem", "NEAR_TOWN"); $dummy_layer->set("template", "ttt.html"); $dummy_layer->set("data","query"); $figura = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_LINE); $ponto_obj = ms_newLineObj(); $numpoints = count($sites_1); for ($i=0; $i < $numpoints; $i++) { $point = ms_newPointObj(); $point->setXY($sites[$i]['lon'],$sites[$i]['lat']); $ponto_obj->add($point); $figura->add($ponto_obj); $point->free(); } // Create shape-file $shfile = ms_newShapefileObj("./data/query", MS_SHP_MULTIPOINT); $shfile->addShape($figura); $shfile->free(); // Set all the necessary MetData for the points $dummy_layer->setMetaData("RESULT_FIELDS", "NEAR_TOWN NUMBER DATE"); $dummy_layer->setMetaData("DESCRIPTION", "This is the Description"); $dummy_layer = $gpoMap->getLayerByName("dummy"); $dummy_layer->addFeature($figura); $dummy_layer->set("status", MS_ON); My MAP file contains the following for the dummy layer: LAYER NAME dummy TYPE POINT STATUS OFF CLASS NAME 'dummy' COLOR 255 0 0 SYMBOL 'circle' SIZE 7 TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html" END TOLERANCE 5 END Also, is this the best way to do a dynamic layer? I want to be able to create the dynamic layer and then use it for the session without having to do the sql query every time the map is redrawn. Any better way of doing this? Any help here would be most appreciated.

One is think of every shape file as a layer and have a bazillion layers - this may be the right way, but there may be a better way. An other way is to think of the data as a smaller number of sets of common objects where each set represents a layer in the map file. Let say you have a set of telephone poles and every day another city or region reports on with their telephone poles in their own shape file. So now you have to include that new shapefile in the map. Bang! need another layer - right? ... Wrong! I have a Tiger/Line Mapserver running. The Tiger data is organized by counties, about 3300 of them in the US, every county has about 10 different shapefiles, that would make about 33,000 shapefiles, but I only have 10 layers to define the 10 types of data in the mapfile. If I added another county and its 10 new shapefiles, I would not need to add any new layers. The trick is to make a tileindex for each layer that points to the the 3300 files that represent a single layer. If I add a new shape file to the map, I update the tileindex to include a reference to the new file and I never touch the mapfile. This can easily be automated with a little scripting. In example above of telephone poles it would work the same way. You copy the new shape files to the map data directory and run a utility to add its record to the tileindex.

I think you will find that the query code does not use the rendering code. What this means to you is that just as you have to create the dynamic data layer for the rendering code you need to ALSO add a similar block to create the dynamic data layer in the appropriate place for the query code to pick it up. It has been a while since I looked at that code, but I'm pretty sure that it has 2 different paths for query and render.

There is a lot of data for the US that is collected and made available by the US government. There is also some data made available by the US government for other countries. So I will briefly explain what I did to create this demo. 1) vmap0 - is the data from www.nima.gov. It is vector map level 0 (vmap0) data which is a 1:1,000,000 scale vector data for the whole world. 2) the vmap0 data is in a proprietary VPF format that needs to be converted into shape files and have a Mapserver application build around it. I used maplab to build the basic application and mapfile and then did some customization of it. 3) the Where in the world? geocoder required collecting various datasets from NIMA and USGS sources and loading them into a MySQL database and then writing a PHP app to talk with the user and then point to the Mapserver application. Again this piece required getting good data and then writing an application around the data. I use Perl, C and/or PHP depending on what needs to be done. Perl is great for parsing data and loading the databases, PHP is great for developing Mapscript applications and web user interfaces and C for servers and where performance is an issue. I hope this answers your question.

Hi Stephen, Thanks for the reply, and I am glad such an experienced user of mapserver can help me out. In regards to your comments however, I am a little confused. Is not the information returned by the query based on the DATA definition and METADATA? If you are referring to code to recognise the query, then I have used the gmap code exactly as is, but with an extra function built in. The only place I can find close to filling the query code section you mention is as follows: /* ---------------------------------------------------------- */ /* Query selected layers at point location or in a rectangle. */ /* DumpQueryResults() will be called later to display the */ /* results. */ /* ---------------------------------------------------------- */ if ($bRectangleInput) { $oGeorefRect = ms_newrectobj(); $oGeorefRect->set("minx", GMapPix2Geo($oPixelRect->minx, 0, $dfWidthPix, $dfMinX, $dfMaxX, 0)); $oGeorefRect->set("maxx", GMapPix2Geo($oPixelRect->maxx, 0, $dfWidthPix, $dfMinX,$dfMaxX, 0)); $oGeorefRect->set("miny", GMapPix2Geo($oPixelRect->miny, 0, $dfHeightPix, $dfMinY,$dfMaxY, 1)); $oGeorefRect->set("maxy", GMapPix2Geo($oPixelRect->maxy, 0, $dfHeightPix, $dfMinY,$dfMaxY, 1)); // Use '@' to avoid warning if query found nothing @$gpoMap->queryByRect($oGeorefRect); $gbShowQueryResults = TRUE; } With a similar section for queryByPoint as well. It appears as though no matter what approach I take, the queryByRect (or Point), does not return any results? What function or structure must I create to add the information for the query to find the points?

The tile index file contains a rectangular bounding box for each of the set of shapefiles it indexes. In general you want those bounding boxes to be as tight as possible so you don't open any more shapefiles than you have to in order to render a specific map request. But the tile index could simply represent a geographic segmentation of the data set. For example, you might have a tile index file that consists of nothing but one-degree by one-degree rectangles covering your region of interest. Let's say you were tracking West Nile virus infections across the US. You create a tile index that consists of these one-degree-square rectangles each pointing to a single point shapefile. So there would be one point shapefile named 43N072W, for example, that contained all the WNV incidents in the one-degree square with 43 N latitude 72 W longitude at its southeast corner. If that particular shapefile were updated or added to on a periodic basis, there's no need to ever change the tile index shapefile. If the individual data sets are going to get to any noticeable size, you should use shptree to create internal spatial indexes for each shapefile. It is also a good idea to design your tile index so it does a good job of partitioning the data. The one-degree scheme would not be a good choice if the dataset were cities with populations greater than 100,000; many of the tiles would point to empty shapefiles. The goal is to never, ever have to look inside a shapefile if you will find nothing of interest in it. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 (978) 251-4242 ed at topozone.com -----Original Message----- From: woodbri at swoodbridge.com [mailto:woodbri at swoodbridge.com] Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 9:07 PM To: John Bennett; Mapserver-Users Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] .map John, There are a few of ways to look at this problem.

That works just fine from a perl CGI or php. In the mapfile, you can setup various layer templates for common layers parameters (such as COLOR/OUTLINECOLOR/MINSCALE/MAXSCALE) and then in your mapscript, you can add the layer $map->getLayerByName(), set the $layer->{status}, assign the $layer->{data} member, and render the layer with $layer->draw(). I just thought I would give a different slant for a response... If you new to mapserver, look into mapscript to get the most granular control of rendering maps, etc. it rocks! Some applications are simple enough to use the CGI version of mapserver, but the more complex apps will require you to use mapscript...

Raster reprojection > supported only with the GDAL library. > Anwar, As the error message indicates, reprojection of rasters is only supported when using the GDAL driver. The TIFF file is being handled through the built-in MapServer TIFF support, and so it can't be reprojected. Note that your tile indexed layer has the same projection as the map so no reprojection is required. Since you already have GDAL support enabled in your configuration the key is to convince MapServer to use it in preference to the built-in TIFF support. One way to accomplish that is to rebuild MapServer with the configure options "--without-tiff". Another approach would be to translate the file into some format, like Erdas Imagine, that is only supported by GDAL. Note that in 3.7 MapServer automatically uses GDAL in preference to the built-in TIFF driver in most cases.

This is a great user group. To be more specific, I have 50 different defined areas. Daily new gif files will come in showing the crop/soil conditions in each area. Each area may have 10 different products (gifs) that define the crop/soil condition. The site has to allow the user to select any area, product type and date (from 1970 to now) and the crop/soil conditions should be displayed to them. Therefore the spatial archive which is being constantly added to may have 5,000,000 gif's(I'm exaggerating). (350 days x 10 products x 50 sites x 30 years). I'm thinking a possible way to do this is to have the 50 different areas in one shapefile. The user selects which shapefile and selects a date. The server gets that date/type and changes the name of the gif in the .map file according to the date/type selected by that user. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

You need to distinguish between MapServer correctly generating a valid image that's NOT what you think it should be, MapServer failing to create an image at all, and MapServer creating an image that you cannot access from the Web. Are JPEG images being created in the /mapserv/ directory? If not, then you probably have a permissions problem that prevents MapServer from writing to that directory. If there are JPEGS there, then you probably have a Web permissions problem that prevents those images from being viewed by a browser (or your URL is not correctly mapped to that /mapserv/ directory). If you get your browser to display valid, blank images, THEN you should worry about your world files. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: stevek at avernus.net [mailto:stevek at avernus.net] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 10:41 AM To: mapserver-users at lists.gis.umn.edu Subject: [mapserver-users] Figuring out pixel size for .wld and raster imags Hi all, I'm having problems getting mapserver to produce anything other than a 28x30 broken image.

You're asking for a 600x600 pixel JPEG output image from a 1445x1044 source TIFF, so it's not surprising that they are smaller files. However, that size is VERY small. Can you look at the JPEG files themselves (outside of a browser) and see what they contain? If you're getting broken image icons but the files are being created, then either the URL isn't correct or the Web browser doesn't have access to those files. If you can fix that problem, it will be easier to debug the others. Can you confirm whether the JPEGs being created are blank or not?

Have the user select it based on any area, product type and date and dynamically define the file for the layer which will show that image.

Plugging the /direct/ URL in reveals that the image is in fact entirely white (or blank - I'm not sure how to distinguish the two). Doing a "properties" on the image from the browser reveals that is is, like I asked it, 600x600. So it looks like image generation happens (but not with the view I want) and I may have the URL munging wrong. The most important thing is of course to get the image generation happening correctly.

The Base Mapping and Geomatic Services (BMGS) Branch of the BC Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management is pleased to announce the availability of our BC OGC Web Map Server on a test basis. BC OGC WMS lets you browse a seamless topographic map of British Columbia with a spectacular, orthorectified air photo mosaic as a backdrop. The topographic map is actually three different scales, 1:6 000 000, 1:250 000, and :20 000 Terrain Resource Information Management (TRIM) 1: 20 000. The map you view varies automatically with your zoom level. The orthomosaic is a 1:20 compressed version of TRIM orthophotography which is in black and white with one metre pixel resolution. Initially, the orthomosaic is turned off. To turn it on, select Layers from the map menu bar, then turn on the orthomosaic layer. We also recommend you turn off the water bodies layer so lakes and ponds are outlined, not colour-filled. Forest Cover is also available with provincial coverage. Other layers will be added in the future. For a demo of an OGC-compliant web map viewer accessing the BC OGC WMS, copy the URL from ogcdemo1.txt into your favourite web browser and go. If you are running an OGC-compliant Web Map Server that supports service chaining (or cascading), you can use any of our data layers as your basemap and add your own layers to create your own custom web map service. Our OGC Web Map Server is located at http://slkapps2.env.gov.bc.ca/servlet/com.esri.wms.EsrimapHYPERLINK "http://slkapps2.env.gov.bc.ca/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap" . We have an important demo next Thursday so would appreciate hearing from those who have other BC data and have tried to cascade to our new server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- geoconnections_cgdi-dev mailing list website: http://cgdi-dev.geoconnections.org/ mailing list: http://cgdi-dev.geoconnections.org/mailinglist/ email: geoconnections_cgdi-dev at geoconnections.org From steve.lime at dnr.state.mn.us Fri Sep 20 15:10:11 2002 From: steve.lime at dnr.state.mn.us (Steve Lime) Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 17:10:11 -0500 Subject: [mapserver-users] New version of the demo...

References: Message-ID: <3D8BA2FB.40904@cnrit.tamu.edu> Hello, I'm sure I'm missing something really elementary here, but I've gone and added so much complexity to my mapserver web pages that I can't get the image to recenter on my mouse clicks anymore! I see the "img.x" and "img.y" values appear in the URL when I click on the image, but I'm also setting "imgxy" in various places and I guess I'm clobbering something becuase no matter where I click, the map just zooms in and out centered on the mid-point of my main image. I'm talking about non-applet implementations of Mapserver, and I'm not using Mapscript either. If you want to see the problem I'm talking about look at any of my "non-applet" maps at the following URL: http://cnrit.tamu.edu/maps/map_init.html Can somebody explain to me the reason why "imgxy" has to be set in the html "hidden" form variables? In the basic demo, this value is arbitrarily set to the centerpoint of the top level image...why? What am I doing wrong? This bug in my code is totally disabling the pan feature...I can't pan or recenter at all, I just always get the centerpoint...even when I click on the reference image. Help!

But if you notice in the function GMapDumpQueryResults() there is a for loop: for($iLayer=0; $iLayer < $gpoMap->numlayers; $iLayer++) { $oLayer = $gpoMap->GetLayer($iLayer); Try putting some debug prints here and make sure it is seeing your layer. like: print "
" . $oLayer->name . "\n"; if your layer name shows then you can print more stuff about if to see what the problem is. If it does not show, then you need to do something to either get it on the list of layers or some how get it to be processed through this block of code.

Stephen, When operating in 24bit mode with MapServer 3.7 and GD2 the actual png file returned by MapServer is 24bit, and the reduction to less colors (if required) would be done by the web browser. However, most people are operating in at least 16bit color depth these days, and reduction from 24bit to 16bit is barely visibly noticable. The real cost is in transporting the bulkier 24bit pngs back to the client. For imagery applications returning JPEGs is more appropriate though they will corrupt linework and text.

The server sends it to the client and goes back to wait for another request. What the client (user) does with the image is anyone's guess. But, going by what I wrote above, my guess it that the client looks at the image in at least 16-bit color. Otherwise, the client should be brought into the modern age rather rapidly. pk/ From jon at cybersite.com.au Sun Sep 22 18:04:32 2002 From: jon at cybersite.com.au (Jonathon Coombes) Date: 23 Sep 2002 11:04:32 +1000 Subject: [mapserver-users] Querying a dynamic layer In-Reply-To: <3D8B7BE1.27275.11900993@localhost> References: <3D8A3C5B.23894.CAFEB30@localhost> <3D8B7BE1.27275.11900993@localhost> Message-ID: <1032743072.12789.268.camel@smp.training4linux.com> On Sat, 2002-09-21 at 09:49, woodbri at swoodbridge.com wrote: > Johnathan, > > I think I mis-spoke, that is what I get for talking before I look at > the code and I seem to have deleted your orignal post so I am > not sure what the problem is. > > But if you notice in the function GMapDumpQueryResults() there is a > for loop: > > for($iLayer=0; $iLayer < $gpoMap->numlayers; $iLayer++) > { > $oLayer = $gpoMap->GetLayer($iLayer); > > Try putting some debug prints here and make sure it is seeing your > layer. like: > print "

Hi Steve, I am the one that is supposed to be confused. :-) I had actually already debugged the GMapDumpQueryResults function and found that it was able to see the dynamic layer and could actually query it and get the metadata, but the getNumResults() in the GMapDumpQueryResults function is where it seems to fail. Its like the extent is wrong, or it can't see the layer when it does the query somehow?

Can I do something like this? ya, but... what happens if you don't click? what if you just hit refresh on the browser, or what if you have a widget to turn layers on|off, and you just want to redraw after changing some layers? hence imgxy... if you don't provide any img.x, img.y, that is, if you don't click but still want to draw, the image will get centered. just a default setting. follow the logic in the script... your img.x, img.y should only be called if you actually click on the map, which would be only if you want to zoom in|out, or pan (actually, you could do all of that without clicking on the map, but that would be a really dorky interface, so that is another story).

Once again, it should be either imgxy as defined in default settings, that is, the center of the image, OR img.x, img.y defined by the user upon clicking on the map. pk/ ps. unless there is specific constraint, I would advise you to move your application to mapscript, perl or php or whatever, because you would have a great amount of control over how it behaves.

I tried to make a little project of a topografic map. It works very well, because I used your very good tutorials and "how to" descriptions. But I have a problem with the "getting backward information". What I mean? For example, it is no problem with getting information of an object like town or road through a querry and the question in a appropriate dbf file. In this moment I am not sure how to solve a problem with searching an marking an object in a map by a query in something like a search engine. I can't find any description of this problem in your FAQs or tutorials. Some problem like mine you have discused in your mail database. I found here some terms or features like map_pin_feature etc. Please can you advise me: 1) Is in your web site any description or tutorial of this problem? 2) Is map_pin_feature a property or function of your cgi script an how it works? 3) Is this feature applicable for bit map layers? 4) Exists any other solution_ Thank you for your time, which you will spent with my problems.

There are two compression modes that are used for colour imagery - RGB and multiband (plus grayscale). RGB is optimised for colour imagery and produces the smallest file size. However, if you use it to compress cartographic images (topo maps, rasterised vectors, etc) it does not produce an image that looks as good as the multiband equivalent. (Multiband results in a larger ECW file size.) If your images were compressed using multiband you may find that MapServer will produce grayscale output. I've written my own WMS image server using ECW data (completely independent of MapServer) and I also have this problem. As yet, I haven't worked out whether the problem is in my code or the ECW SDK. So, were your ECW images compressed as RGB, multiband or grayscale? If it was multiband, try compressing a TIFF file using RGB and see if it works.

I see in the URL of my browser that the actual coordinates of my mouse clicks are showing up, however, unlike the Itasca demo and other working Mapserver pages I've seen, my mouse click coordinates are showing up in the following format: ..../cgi-bin/mapserv?map.x=214&map.y=43..... now if I go into the URL field and change the above "map.x" and "map.y" to "img.x" and "img.y" respectively, then reload the URL...BOOM! My image shows up zoomed to the right factor and centered on the point I had clicked on. Here's my question: How come I get "map.x" and "map.y" when I click my image? If these were "img.x" and "img.y" then everything would be working...why is my mapserv CGI program inserting the wrong CGI variable names? If I can only get it to insert the mouse coordinates as "img.x" and "img.y" values, I'll be working just fine! Thanks in advance for your help!

It is some problem with structure packing pragmas. Apparently different ones were used when you built libjpeg from what was used when mapserver was built. Did you build either the jpeg shared library or mapserver yourself? If so, start digging into the pragmas about structure packing.

Hi! I'm using MapServer raster layers to present large background images. When I got to large TIFFs (>200 MB) the server displayed an error message (unsupported image format or smth.). I tried to download the GDAL support version (precompiled Win-32 binaries), which also supports ECW (I have those TIFFs compressed to ECWs). But when I fired it up - all the output turned out black-and-white, never mind the output format (GIF, JPG, PNG)! Why is that happening? Is there a way to normally present large TIFFs or their ECW equivalents? Thanks! Alexander Gleyzer. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You would have to do most of these steps in Mapscript. Or you could make a list of the names and extents for each state and build them into a pop-up list and use javascript to issue direct the browser to a new url that would be the extents from the list.

(Thanks to Steve Woodbridge for the ongoing support!) Problem summary: System: FreeBSD Access: No root access, but local builds okay Mapserver version: 3.6.1 Goal: Build mapserver with true type support. Issue: Machine has an existing version of Freetype 2.x at the system level. The ./configure routine recognizes the Freetype 2.x rather than the (required) Freetype 1.x even when statically pointed to the Freetype 1.x libraries. Problem solution: All of the following steps were required to successfully build mapserver in the above environment... 1) Compile GD 1.8.4 and Freetype 1.3.1 to local directories. 2) In the .login, add: # Added for mapserver purposes: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/libttf.so.4.0 # End of mapserver additions. 3) Configure mapserver with the following parameters (plus any others you want): ./configure --prefix=/path/to/libraries --with-gd=static,/path/to/libraries --with-freetype=/path/to/freetype --enable-force-freetype1 --enable-runpath --with-proj --with-tiff 4) Edit the resulting mapserver Makefile as follows: # These originally pointed to root-only system directories. # Change them to your local installation directories. LIB_INSTALL=/usr/home/gisweb/local/lib/ HEADER_INSTALL=/usr/home/gisweb/local/include/mapserver-3.5/ # Proj.4 distribution (cartographic projection routines). #PROJ_INC <-- originally blank. Needed the reference as shown on line below. PROJ_INC=-I/usr/local/include PROJ_LIB= -lproj PROJ= -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_PROJ_API_H # GD distribution (graphics library GIF and/or PNG support). (REQUIRED) # GDFONT_OBJ=gd-1.2/gdfontt.o gd-1.2/gdfonts.o gd-1.2/gdfontmb.o gd- 1.2/gdfontl.o gd-1.2/gdfontg.o GD_INC= -I/usr/home/gisweb/local/lib #GD_LIB= -ljpeg -lfreetype -lpng -lz <-- originally refers to - lfreetype. GD_LIB= -lm -lgd -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lttf GD= -DUSE_GD_PNG -DUSE_GD_JPEG -DUSE_GD_WBMP -DUSE_GD_TTF GD_STATIC = /usr/home/gisweb/local/lib/libgd.a # TIFF distribution (raster support for TIFF and GEOTIFF imagery). (RECOMMENDED) TIFF_INC= #TIFF_LIB= -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lfreetype <-- originally has - lfreetype TIFF_LIB= -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lttf TIFF= -DUSE_TIFF 5) From the mapserver-3.6.1 directory containing the modified Makefile, type: make install make 6) Typing "./mapserv -v" should return the following (Note "SUPPORTS=TTF"): MapServer version 3.6.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=SHAPEFILE These steps eliminated the problem of the incorrect True Type angles when using the ANGLE AUTO parameter in a LABEL object. Hope this helps others with similar problems. Thanks again to all who offered support. - Jonathan W.

In general, is it hard to say what the limitations of anything are without knowing what you expect to do with it. For example it would be safe to say it probably can not do the dishes, etc :) but when you get closer to the domain of expertise it is not possible to say it does this well or not, because "well" is very subjective and without some specific details of the task involved it is not possible to accurately define its fitness for purpose. Another problem is the skill of the user in knowing how to make it do what you want. As someone recently said on the list, It is easy to setup mapserver in such a way the its performance really sucks. This does not mean the mapserver sucks, just that specific configuration. On the flip side, it is easier to make a check list of all the things that mapserver CAN do. We also have many testimonial from people that have tried other solutions like ESRI and have found that mapserver was a much better solution - just check the list archives or post a request to the list. That said, I think it would be safe to say that Mapserver's specific domain of expertise is in serving maps and ... It is NOT a GIS system. It is NOT a general purpose geocoding system. It is NOT a network analysis and routing system. It is NOT designed to edit spatial data files, not that you can do this in a limited sort of way. It is NOT a desktop GUI application. I hope this helps. -Steve Woodbridge http://iMapTools.com On 25 Sep 2002 at 17:19, Pradeep wrote: > > Hello Steve and all > I am working towards the goal of evaluating MapServer wrt to many of > the other similar technologies available in-house, Can I know from you > what MapServer cannot do?(its limitations) or a general guideline > where we can use MapServer and Where we cannot use it. > > Regards and Best wishes > Pradeep > From Chip.Hankley at gasai.com Wed Sep 25 06:16:22 2002 From: Chip.Hankley at gasai.com (Hankley, Chip) Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2002 08:16:22 -0500 Subject: FW: [mapserver-users] ...JPEG Panic Message-ID: <3DFF131E4E6D2D4198CDD758F35A5353010ABE09@postoffice.GASAI.Com> For the sake of the archive...

It seems that the conflict comes from the gd library built in jpeg and the one used with mapserver. To test it, I have recompiled mapserver with gd where I removed the jpeg support (USE_JPEG flag) and I could load the jpeg files. The real solution for me is to recompile gd with the same jpeg lib that is used for mapserver. Unfortunaltly I could not do this right now, It does not compile on windows out of the box (I am currently using precompiled binaries). I will try to do this some time this week ....

As mentioned in the MapServerWiki, we have to understand the SWIG command variables. My problem was -DSWIGPYTHON option. For some reasons, SWIG version 1.3.15 didn't accept -DSWIGPYTHON option in my SuSE linux box. I compiled it from the source tree. So, after deleting the 1.3.15 version of SWIG, I installed the 1.3.9 version which was included in the SuSE's software installation module. Then, the setup.py compiled Python MapScript successfully. In the setup.py, I found some things to be properly described: 1) gd_dir="/usr/local/src/gd-1.8.4" (depending upon your system) 2) path.join(local_dir,'lib/gdal.a') was duplicated. one of them must be path.join(local_dir,'lib/libgd.a') 3) you have to check if the extra objects are in the proper location (i.e. /usr/local/lib/) If not, you have to copy them from the source tree to there. 4) you have to understand which libraries are working on your machine (i.e. 'gd','freetype','ttf','png','proj','pq','z'). 'pq' is for PostgreSQL. As somebody already mentioned in the previous mailing list, you can check the Python Mapscript like this: Python 2.2 (#1, May 14 2002, 18:23:13) [GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import mapscript >>> dir() ['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'mapscript'] >>> dir(mapscript) ['DBFInfo', 'DBFInfoPtr', 'FTDouble', 'FTInteger', 'FTInvalid', 'FTString', 'GetMapserverUnitUsingProj', 'MS_AUTO', 'MS_BITMAP', 'MS_CC', 'MS_CJC_BEVEL', 'MS_CJC_BUTT', 'MS_CJC_MITER', 'MS_CJC_NONE', 'MS_CJC_ROUND', 'MS_CJC_SQUARE', 'MS_CJC_TRIANGLE', 'MS_CL', 'MS_CR', 'MS_DD', 'MS_DEFAULT', 'MS_DELETE', 'MS_DONE', 'MS_EMBED', 'MS_FAILURE', 'MS_FALSE', 'MS_FEET', 'MS_FILE_MAP', 'MS_FILE_SYMBOL', 'MS_GIANT', 'MS_GIF', 'MS_GML', 'MS_HILITE', 'MS_INCHES', 'MS_INLINE', 'MS_JPEG', 'MS_KILOMETERS', 'MS_LARGE', 'MS_LAYER_ANNOTATION', 'MS_LAYER_CIRCLE', 'MS_LAYER_LINE', 'MS_LAYER_POINT', 'MS_LAYER_POLYGON', 'MS_LAYER_QUERY', 'MS_LAYER_RASTER', 'MS_LC', 'MS_LL', 'MS_LR', 'MS_MEDIUM', 'MS_METERS', 'MS_MILES', 'MS_MULTIPLE', 'MS_NO', 'MS_NORMAL', 'MS_OFF', 'MS_OGR', 'MS_ON', 'MS_ORACLESPATIAL', 'MS_PIXELS', 'MS_PNG', 'MS_POSTGIS', 'MS_SDE', 'MS_SELECTED', 'MS_SHAPEFILE', 'MS_SHAPEFILE_ARC', 'MS_SHAPEFILE_MULTIPOINT', 'MS_SHAPEFILE_POINT', 'MS_SHAPEFILE_POLYGON', 'MS_SHAPE_LINE', 'MS_SHAPE_NULL', 'MS_SHAPE_POINT', 'MS_SHAPE_POLYGON', 'MS_SHP_ARCM', 'MS_SHP_MULTIPOINTM', 'MS_SHP_POINTM', 'MS_SHP_POLYGONM', 'MS_SINGLE', 'MS_SMALL', 'MS_SUCCESS', 'MS_TILED_SHAPEFILE', 'MS_TINY', 'MS_TRUE', 'MS_TRUETYPE', 'MS_UC', 'MS_UL', 'MS_UNUSED_1', 'MS_UR', 'MS_VERSION', 'MS_WBMP', 'MS_WMS', 'MS_XY', 'MS_YES', 'MapScript', 'MapScriptc', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', 'classObj', 'classObjPtr', 'colorObj', 'colorObjPtr', 'imageObj', 'imageObjPtr', 'itemObj', 'itemObjPtr', 'labelCacheMemberObj', 'labelCacheMemberObjPtr', 'labelCacheObj', 'labelCacheObjPtr', 'labelObj', 'labelObjPtr', 'layerObj', 'layerObjPtr', 'legendObj', 'legendObjPtr', 'lineObj', 'lineObjPtr', 'mapObj', 'mapObjPtr', 'markerCacheMemberObj', 'markerCacheMemberObjPtr', 'msDBFAddField', 'msDBFClose', 'msDBFCreate', 'msDBFGetFieldCount', 'msDBFGetFieldInfo', 'msDBFGetItemIndex', 'msDBFGetItemIndexes', 'msDBFGetItems', 'msDBFGetRecordCount', 'msDBFGetValueList', 'msDBFGetValues', 'msDBFOpen', 'msDBFReadDoubleAttribute', 'msDBFReadIntegerAttribute', 'msDBFReadStringAttribute', 'msDBFWriteDoubleAttribute', 'msDBFWriteIntegerAttribute', 'msDBFWriteStringAttribute', 'msFreeImage', 'msSaveImage', 'pointObj', 'pointObjPtr', 'projectionObj', 'projectionObjPtr', 'queryMapObj', 'queryMapObjPtr', 'rectObj', 'rectObjPtr', 'referenceMapObj', 'referenceMapObjPtr', 'resultCacheMemberObj', 'resultCacheMemberObjPtr', 'resultCacheObj', 'resultCacheObjPtr', 'scalebarObj', 'scalebarObjPtr', 'shapeObj', 'shapeObjPtr', 'shapefileObj', 'shapefileObjPtr', 'styleObj', 'styleObjPtr', 'webObj', 'webObjPtr'] >>> len(dir(mapscript)) 167 >>> mapscript.MS_VERSION '3.6.1' >>> Now, I believe I am ready to examine those mapscript objects in the python code.

I actually just created the dataset and tileindex and added it to an existing mapfile which then broke. Well it seems that there is a minor bug in mapserver or at least an undocumented limitation, or more likely a failure on my part to understand. It seems that in the mapfile a a tileindex must be specified relative to the SHAPEPATH item and may not be specified as an absolute path. And further more all TILEINDEX LOCATION values must be relative to the location of the TILEINDEX location. I might be wrong on this but looking at the source code and making the changes above seemed to get rid of the problem. -Steve W.

It is possible that I had a typo, but I checked everything a couple of time before I started changing things. Your example is not quite the same as mine, because you used absolute paths in your tileindex LOCATION field, and I used relative paths. The source does some gymnastics with chdir and paths to open files and I suspect that this will get cleaned up when Steve L. cleans up this code to get rid of chdir calls as part of the thread-safety cleanup.

Then you could use geographical selections to limit the number of sounds to be sent over the Net. Interesting, and not extremely difficult, I would guess.

There are three things that you need to get the truetype fonts working. This may be in the map file/symbol documentation, but here's my spin. 1) specify FONTSET (I put mine right under the IMAGECOLOR line in the top of my map file) and point it to a text file lists two things - a font "name" and the location of the truetype font filename.

Problem summary: System: FreeBSD Access: No root access, but local builds okay Mapserver version: 3.6.1 Goal: Build mapserver with true type support. Issue: Machine has an existing version of Freetype 2.x. The ./configure routine recognizes the Freetype 2.x rather than the (required) Freetype 1.x even when statically pointed to the Freetype 1.x libraries. Problem solution: All of the following steps were required to successfully build mapserver in the above environment... 1) Compile GD 1.8.4 and Freetype 1.3.1 to local directories. 2) In the .login, add: # Added for mapserver purposes: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/to/libttf.so.4.0 # End of mapserver additions. (It may also be necessary to establish links to the "lib" directory for files in the "include" directory. If you get errors that say "such-and-such file does not exist", but you know the files do exist in the "include" directory, try establishing a hard or soft link of the same name in the "lib" directory...) 3) Configure mapserver with the following parameters (plus any others you want): ./configure --prefix=/path/to/libraries --with-gd=static,/path/to/libraries --with-freetype=/path/to/freetype --enable-force-freetype1 --enable-runpath --with-proj --with-tiff 4) Edit the resulting mapserver Makefile as follows: # These originally pointed to root-only system directories. # Change them to your local installation directories. LIB_INSTALL=/usr/home/gisweb/local/lib/ HEADER_INSTALL=/usr/home/gisweb/local/include/mapserver-3.5/ # Proj.4 distribution (cartographic projection routines). #PROJ_INC <-- originally blank. Needed the reference as shown on line below. PROJ_INC=-I/usr/local/include PROJ_LIB= -lproj PROJ= -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_PROJ_API_H # GD distribution (graphics library GIF and/or PNG support). (REQUIRED) # GDFONT_OBJ=gd-1.2/gdfontt.o gd-1.2/gdfonts.o gd-1.2/gdfontmb.o gd-1.2/gdfontl.o gd-1.2/gdfontg.o GD_INC= -I/usr/home/gisweb/local/lib #GD_LIB= -ljpeg -lfreetype -lpng -lz <-- originally refers to -lfreetype.

(RECOMMENDED) TIFF_INC= #TIFF_LIB= -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lfreetype <-- originally has -lfreetype TIFF_LIB= -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lttf TIFF= -DUSE_TIFF 5) From the mapserver-3.6.1 directory containing the modified Makefile, type: make install make 6) Typing "./mapserv -v" should return the following (Note "SUPPORTS=TTF"): MapServer version 3.6.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=TTF SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=SHAPEFILE These steps eliminated the problem of the incorrect True Type angles when using the ANGLE AUTO parameter in a LABEL object.

I have a shapefile in Decimal degrees defined in the map file. I define the EXTENT, UNITS and SCALE of the MAP. I'm not quite sure how to define the SCALE correctly. Right now when I display the shapefile of the provinces of Canada, if I query 'click' on Manitoba, it comes back with Saskatchewan. Therefore everything appears to be shifted over. Any idea?

Here are the steps you would take via mapscripting (dunno about cgi) -- 1. You want to send a point back to the server relative to which you want to zoom (in or out). For example, if the user has already been clicking on the map and managed to navigate her way to some specific section of the map, and now clicks on your zoom bar, you want to zoom relative to the current extent (the user will be very annoyed if you zoom relative to the actual center of the image). On the other hand, if the user has not yet clicked on the map, you want to zoom relative to the actual center of the image. You can determine what the case is by embedding user clicks in hidden form fields... if those form fields are empty then the user hasn't clicked yet, etc. 2. Create your zoombar using a graphic or whatever, and use Javascript to send back a zoomfactor... zooming in will increase the zoomfactor, and vice versa. 3. Use the point you have sent back and the zoomfactor you have sent back to zoom from the max extent. You can easily grab the maxextent using mapscript, or you can even grab it once and then either insert it in session vars or shuttle it back and forth using form vals. pk/ From joe at otsys.com Fri Sep 27 10:45:08 2002 From: joe at otsys.com (Joe Bussell) Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 10:45:08 -0700 Subject: [mapserver-users] Pre-defined Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons...

Also, as Puneet pointed out, I will not be overriding the mouse click coordinates with this zoom level, so that the zooming will happen relative to whatever image center the user has already clicked on, and if they haven't clicked anywhere then I'll zoom straight into the centerpoint of my main map.

Now I would like to mode my data into an Oracle server with SDO and use Mapserver to browse the data. The only version of Mapserver I could find with oraclespatial enabled is the one at http://parvillers.homeip.net/mapserver/ (and it is ver. 3.5). I was wondering whether there is precompiled win32 version of Mapserver 3.6.1 with oraclespatial available. I would also appreciate directions to examples, tutorials and/or documentation on how to use Mapserver with Oracle Spatial.

I encourage you to steal whatever you map find useful, though I will not defend the style. My idea was to maintain a center position and a level. The extent is then calculated as a function of the two. In my world I have a 6 degree spread in lat and lon. My function for the extent is: deltaDegree = (max delta) / 2^level so at level0 I get 6/2^0 = 6 degrees at level1 I get 6/2^1 = 3 degrees at level2 I get 6/2^2 = 1.5 ... at level10 I get 6/2^10 = 0.005859375 I then add/subtract to get my top, bottom, left, and right values. In truth I am serving raster images with defined scales, so I need to match up the result with the raster image. I have created my rasters with a given size. I need to scale my result to match in case I am presenting an odd shaped image. var span = level0Span/Math.pow(2,zoomLevel) * mapNameExtentHash[ map ].imageSize / rasterImageSize; top = lat + span; bottom = lat - span; left = lon - span; right = lon + span; I have no feeling as to whether this is a good methodology, but it works for me. I am presently carriing around values for the present extent, and am calculating the center point as needed. This seems like the wrong choice, so I am migrating to a center-point & level based state.

In a nutshell this is all you should need to know.
...//inputs for you map interface form // some input gifs arranged nicely like the stack you see in the kodak page ...//the rest of your input fields for your map interface form
now each time you press a zoom image, the value of the hidden input named "Zoom" will change to the desired zoom level and gets passed to the form action. I'm sure there are other more creative ways to make this happen too. Our map interface is entirely done in javascript w/ a flash zoom factor bar - you can view it at www.destinationdive.com - login to the demo account, go to the dive sites menu and select "Interactive Map Interface".

Please look at the URL http://www.auslig.gov.au/servlet/asdd_power and click on the image of Australia. This will pop up in another window a simple mapserver implementation. You can drag a box on the map image and this will cause mapserver to roughly zoom into the dragged box area. Note that a blue box indicates the actual dragged box area and the map is a fixed image size of 300 by 300 pixels. That is why I say "roughly". The JavaScript code is a bit slapped together for this interface but if you use it I would greatly appreciate it if you would send me the tidied up/optimised version of the JavaScript. I intended on looking into importing the zoom box JavaScript code from a file that can be used by many interfaces but of course I haven't got around to that yet. (Prototypes always seem to just stay prototypes) ;--) I hope that this helps.

First, here is the original reply from me... === Javascript works fine... it doesn't really draw, it reveals and hides different layers. I have had this working for a while now, but have only recently been able to obtain permission from the client to open it up for list consumption. I will be posting the url early next week for list folks to see the application (have to obfuscate some of the client-specific data for privacy reasons ;-) ), and slowly after that I will start posting snippets from the application itself. just a few days more. thanks. pk/ ps. the only downside is the zoombox in its current incarnation works reliably only in IE (both on Macs and Win). It also does work in Chimera and in Mozilla, but not reliably. I would need to do some work to make it compatible, but no time. Hopefully, once I post the code, someone else can make it work with other browsers and post it back. === second, here is a temp url showing this kind of functionality. http://209.83.8.226/bims/index.pl This is a simple, perl mapscript driven prototype. Only zoomin, zoomout, and zoomall are functional, but enough to show the zoombox working in a non-frames page. Sometime later this week I will post the url for a more elaborate application in php mapscript that does some of the same tricks. keep in mind... the above will work only with IE (on any platform) at this time. pk/ > At 11:18 AM 9/28/2002 -0600, Alex Rice wrote: >> [reposting on mapserver-users, -dev is for mapserver internals >> discussion -- alex] >> >> On Friday, September 27, 2002, at 12:39 PM, Brent Fraser wrote: >> >>> Hey, >>> >>> Does anyone know how http://kei.kodak.com/HTMLMap.asp can use >>> JavaScript to do a zoom box? >>> >>> I thought JavaScript was too limited draw lines on an image and we >>> were stuck using Java. >>> >>> I'm jealous. >> >> Nope, javascript can be used.

To to so, I load the respective layer 4 times from PostGIS, and assign FILTERs to the them to select the relevant polygons. Everything works fine, the map is created, only that it takes about 25 sec. :-( I played around a bit and found out that the repeated CONNECTIONs causes the delay.

The connect-to-database routines havent changed since the very original mappostgis.c was created. In fact, the connect-to-database rountine is only one line long and just calls the standard libpq PQconnect() function. I cannot see any reason why it would suddenly stop working on the mapserver side. There must have been a change in your database set-up. If you dont want to put in a password, you'll have to use the postgresql sql command "CREATE USER..." and "GRANT..." to create a new user (without a password) with the appropriate permission. dave ps. you should use the mappostgis.c from 3.7 since it gives much better help and error reporting. I've posted it here several times or you can get it from cvs. I'll email it to you in a separate message.

In your case you're doing 6* more work than necessary. I'm a bit confused by your DB set up - is "nut3" a normal table or is it something else? Same thing for "un3rt". Usually you would only have to set up a bunch of CLASS statement within the layer - like with a shapefile. You're probably having troubles because of some type of implicit joining of tables. You should use the 3.7 mappostgis.c (I've already emailed it to you), and use the "advanced" DATA statement and do explict joins. DATA "the_geom from () as foo using unique gid using SRID=6543" replace "gid" with the name of the unique column in your data replace "6543" with the SRID of your data in the () put your SQL statement. I sugest you explictly name your columns like: "SELECT the_geom, nut3.nurgcd as nurgcd, un3rt.unit as unit, gid FROM nut3" DATA "the_geom from (SELECT the_geom, nut3.nurgcd as nurgcd, un3rt.unit as unit,gid FROM nut3) as foo using unique gid using SRID=6543" If this doesnt help, you'll have to tell me what your table structure is. dave ps. make sure you have a spatial index on your table, and do a "vacuum analyse" on the db.

You can do it much more elegantly by using just one layer and putting all your filter conditions into the DATA statement. You do this by creating a computed PostGIS variable and giving it a name. This temporary variable can be used as a CLASSITEM by MapServer.

The MrSID developer's kit has a low-low price of $25,000 and you need it to compile applications, which would be a MAJOR pain for mapserver folks since we often "roll our own". I don't have $25,000 lying around... Perhaps someone with connections could contact the Lizards and see if they would make some provision for a fine open-source product like Mapserver. Just a notion: maybe the model that Lucent follows for their Linux modem driver would work -- a binary-only free (as in beer) library that includes an appropriate mapserver API? The only problem I can see is that clever folks might use the library to do things other than mapserver, which would (appropriately) irritate the Lizard Tech folks. Another strategy would be to make a "stub" MrSID application that extracts a GEOTIFF image given a bounding-box and drops it into a temporary directory, then mapserv would simply read the file. This would require a mapfile extension that provides a command to be executed prior to drawing a layer (Ooooooh, that isn't a bad idea even without the MrSID stuff. It would simplify some very powerful CGI extensions, because you could dynamically generate layers to be drawn while still making use of the mapserver HTML templates!). Easy to implement? Yes. A bit disgusting? Yes. Slow? Maybe (although this could be offset by the use of a temporary ramdisk in Linux). But it wouldn't require linking to the MrSID library, thus protecting Lizard Tech from unauthorized (ab)use of their library; it would also protect mapserver from changes to the LizardTech library. Furthermore, if the MrSID developer's kit can produce royalty-free applications, any kindly benefactor in the mapserver community who already has the developer's kit could implement it and distribute binaries... My two cents.

I am sorry, but perhaps I should have elaborated further. You could still use the point from your POINT layer, generate your buffer circle and add it to an acetate layer, then use a circle polygon symbol with a diagonalfill pattern.
