IMAGETYPE

[Jacob Delfos]

Nasir,

You haven't actually specified an output format in your mapfile. Look at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html#outputformat

You must have an output format in there with a name that matches your imagetype. Your outputformat contain the instructions on what kind of image to create for that imagetype. Once your put the outputformat object in there (can be more than 1), your imagetype should work.

It probably works when you commented it out because mapserver uses a default imagetype if it cannot find any output format object in the mapfile.

regards,

Jacob

Hi,

I am trying to understand mapserver's tutorial examples. I am facing a problem with IMAGETYPE tag. when I set IMAGETYPE PNG, map isn't displayed but when I comment it out then it 's ok. Why it is so? Here is map files:

        # Alternatively, you can specify an EPSG code.
          # "init=epsg:2163"
      END
