[Mapserver-users] Fwd: Re: perl mapscript 3.6.4 $layer->queryByPoint

[Vincent Jansen]

Steve send me the solution, works great

Hi Vincent: The layer isn't queryable as it sits. Even though you
probably won't use it you have to define a template in the CLASS
section. Something like:

  TEMPLATE "dummy"

should be sufficient.

Hi,

In perl I'm using the folowing :

	$layer = $mapObj->getLayerByName('query wijk');
	$layer->{status} = 1;

	$result = $layer->queryByPoint($mapObj, $point, MS_SINGLE, 0);
	$data = $layer->getResult(0);
	$shape = $data->{shapeindex};

width a valid mapObj and Point
on a layer that looks like

 LAYER
    CLASS
      COLOR 0 0 255
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
          SYMBOL 'arcering'
    END
    DATA "wijkvlakken"
    NAME "query wijk"
    STATUS OFF
    TYPE POLYGON
  END

althoug $return == 1 and i'm positive there's a shape at the givvin
point,
somehow $data and $shape stay empty

Am i missing something obvious?

Thanks
