[Mapserver-users] 24bit display of geotiff with mapserver 4.0

[Ed McNierney]

Steffen -

Problems like this are very hard to diagnose without seeing the images!

Are you rescaling the source imagery quite a bit?  MapServer optimizes for fast image display, so if your map output scale is very different from your data source scale you may not get good results.

Hello to all,

finally I got the Mapserver 4.0 installed with this:

./configure --with-gd=/tmp/unpacked/gd-2.0.15 
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-proj=/tmp/unpacked/proj-4.4.7 
--with-postgis=/usr/src/postgresql-7.1.3/src/bin/pg_config/pg_config 
--without-pdf
--without-tiff

And that'S how it is looking like now.
./mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.0 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ 
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS 
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE


I have 24 bit tiff files, but the displayed result isn't great. 

Does anybody know what is the reason for that?


Thanks
Steffen Gebhardt
