[mapserver-users] Loading WMS Image gives strange results (FW: BC OGC Web Map Server Now Available in Test Mode)

[Stepan Kafka]

I think, it is caused by 256 color limit in MS 3.6x version. Your colortable
is full so MS chages the colors. Tehe solution is using new RGB supporting
version (3.7).

> Hi All.

> 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 <http://home.gdbc.gov.bc.ca/dim/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" .
> <http://slkapps2.env.gov.bc.ca/servlet/com.esri.wms.EsrimapHYPERLINK >

> 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.
