Hi Ed,

the TIFF is georeferenced with a TFW File. As said, scale and =
coordinates are ok and the reference map shows the correct view.

I opened a TIFF which worked with another mapserver application a few =
minutes ago with IrfanView and saved it as TIFF (without editing). After =
saving with IrfanView the map-window was white, as if mapserver was able =
to show the image, but sets all colors to white.=20
Is there an image conversion tool to produce TIFFs that mapserver can =
show?

Thanks=20
Olaf

  How did you add geographic reference information to your TIFF so =
MapServer knows where it is in the world?  You need to have created =
either a GeoTIFF with the coordinate info in the TIFF itself, or a world =
file with a TFW or WLD extension to go with it.

  Hello,

  =20

  i have got a problem with the display of a tiff-image. Mapserver shows =
a white map (and produces a white .png), but navigation is possible, the =
square on the refenenz map is ok and scale/scalebar also. There is no =
difference if the tiff is black/white (1 bit) or 8 bit, it never shows =
an i get no error message from mapserver.=20

  When i use another tiff from another project it works!!

  =20

  The tiff was made with IrfanView (no compression, 256 Colors (counted =
16), 8 Bit):

  =20

  Here a part of my mapfile:

  =20

  LAYER

      NAME "Hintergrund"

      DATA "Stadtplan.tif"

      TYPE RASTER

      OFFSITE 1

      STATUS ON

  END

  =20

  Thanks for your help!

  Olaf
