[Mapserver-users] ArcGrid format.

[ANDREW WOOLEY]

Jason,

This isn't really the answer you were looking for, but I thought it
might help.

To display the NED Hillshade, I use the USGS wms.  

This is the mapfile code (I got it from the list but don't remember who
posted - sorry):
LAYER
 NAME "wms_ned"
 TYPE RASTER
 STATUS ON
 
 #PROCESSING "COLOR_MATCH_THRESHOLD=3"       # Suggest in listserv for
transparencies
 #OFFSITE 0 0 0                              # SEEMS TO REMOVE PIXELS
OF A CERTAIN VALUE
 CONNECTION
"http://gisdata.usgs.net:80/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?servicename=USGS_WMS_NED&"
 CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
 METADATA
        "wms_srs"             "EPSG:4326"
        "wms_name"            "US_NED_Shaded_Relief"
        "wms_server_version"  "1.0.0"
        "wms_format"          "image/jpeg"
 END
 PROJECTION
        "init=epsg:26912"
 END
END

It is for display purposes only. If you were looking to do something
other than query, I don't know if it is possible to query grids in
mapserver.  There was some list discussion on that earlier, but I can't
recall if it was resolved.  

The other option that I have used is to create images from the grid
data and display that.

I hope this is helpful.

Andrew

This is more a gdal question I suppose but thought I would see about
picking
some brains here.

Is anyone out there using ArcGrid files with mapserver?  More
specifically
something like the data at:

data.geocomm.com/readme/usgs/ned.html

I noticed Arc/Info binary grid support is listed in gdal but I was not
sure if
this is the same.

Thanks.
