[Mapserver-users] Shapefile indexing

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Martin,

yes you can display them, i haven't used tile4ms so far, but tiled 
layers are drawn when you specify the TILEINDEX with the path/filename 
to your tileindex-shapefile, in your case
TILEINDEX "./shp/kataster" , omit the the DATA parameter.

More information, esp. on the additional TILEITEM keyword in the 
mapserver doc:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/mapfile-reference.html#layer

Cheers, Michael
