[Mapserver-users] displaying raster images

[Matthew Hatcher]

Fx,
 
If you use the GDAL interface then you can actually use TAB files to
georeference the rasters directly. Just ensure that the TAB file is in the
same directory as the raster and is called the same. Your layer description
below should work fine.
 
Check that you have "INPUT=GDAL" by doing a "mapserv -v". If it still
doesn't work then you may need to recompile with the --without-tiff function
(or get a binary set up like that) to ensure that mapserver uses the GDAL
interface rather than LIBTIFF to read in TIFF files.
 
Matt.

Hello everybody,
I am trying to display a georeferenced raster layer with mapserver 3.6.2.
LAYER
  NAME "scantest"
  DATA "testscan1.tif"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
END

I work with mapinfo tab format.but i must generate a shape file name
testscan1.shp to display this raster.
What contain the shape file??
a georeferenced polygon representing the extents of the raster?
does anybody know a free tab to shape converter?
 
help..
thanks in advance
