[Mapserver-users] Question - EROS NED service

[Ed McNierney]

Brian -

The layer you describe in your example isn't an "ArcIMS layer" - it's a
WMS layer, although it may be rendered by an ArcIMS server.  Bryan, what
Brian is saying is that the USGS NED shaded relief service is available
as a WMS service, not just an ArcIMS service, and it can be easily used
in MapServer using just the method Brian describes.

Bryan,

We use this ArcIMS layer in one of our MapServer 3.6 applications.  Here
is the WMS Layer Definition:

LAYER
     NAME "usgselev"
     METADATA
       "wms_title" "US_NED_Shaded_Relief"
       "wms_srs" "epsg:4326"
       "wms_connectiontimeout" "1000"
     END
     TYPE RASTER
     STATUS OFF
     CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
     CONNECTION
"http://gisdata.usgs.net/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?ServiceName=USGS_W
MS_NED&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=map&Layers=US_NED_Shaded_Relief&SRS=EPSG:43
26&REASPECT=false&Format=gif"
     PROJECTION
       "init=epsg:4326"
     END
   END #layer usgselev

Hope this helps you out,
Brian

I was wondering if Mapserver is able to support ArcIMS services?  I am
interested in using the EROS NED service which requires me to connect to

'http://gisdata.usgs.net'.  I was told I need to use arcMap, it would be

wonderful if I could use Mapserver as I like what I see so far.

Thank you,
