[Mapserver-users] Non-Rectangular Tiles in TILEINDEX ? - Got It Working - THANKS!

[Bruce, Bob CON]

Thanks to you all for your help. Being very new to the MapServer I'm not
sure when I'm going wrong or I'm hitting a limit in the software.

These comments made me go back and take a long hard look at my files and I
realized where I was going wrong - in the path names in my TILEITEMs.

I now have my TILEINDEX file set up with my irregularly shaped polygons
referencing my datasets and it all draws quite nicely, going off to get
these datasets and drawing them. So non-rectangular tiles do work in the
MapServer, a fact that will be very useful in drawing property mapping
datasets.

Yes, although I need to look at the code to be sure. Even with though
there are situations where
a tile may be processed when it doesn't intersect the AOI it's still
far better than no tiling in all. In
general regular shaped tiles will provide the best performance as Ed
mentions.
