RES: [Mapserver-users] Shape Index ...

[Murilo Lacerda Yoshida]

  I am using the querybypoint method ... but it does not do what I want.
Let me explain it better. I have a shapefile with about 150-200
polygons. I started using the querybypoint method, and then I saw that
it does not return to me the index of the polygon shape in the
shapefile. It just does something with the querymap...
  I need to know the index of the polygon shape into the shapefile. I
have how to get this index, in fact I am getting it. But to get it the
way I'm doing I have to do a while, and in the while get polygon by
polygon and check if the point(x,y) is into that polygon, and only then
I will have the index of the shape in the shapefile...
  So, I was wondering if there was a easier way, or a smarter way...
  Thanks,
    Murilo

The queryByPoint method (I think that's the name) or the query mode with
the CGI allow point-based queries. The shape index is carried by all the
resulting shapes in the index property. In query templates you can get
to the index with the [shpidx] tag.

  Hi All,
  Is there a function that you pass a point(x, y) and it returns you
the
index of the shape you've clicked?
  Thanks,
