Tom and Eduardo
Thanks for the reply.
ogrinfo and shpdmp gives the extent in the original coordinates of the projection.
I am trying to get the lat/lon extent of the same.
When setting up the map file as WMS server, the GetCapabilities provides the extent in
lan/lot as well, that is where I get the incorrect (?) boundaries of
LatLonBoundingBox minx="-111.388" miny="46.3886" maxx="-106.113" maxy="49.1724"
What tool does mapserver uses to get the corresponding lat/lon boundary when creating the WMS GetCapabilities XML? Is it Proj? Can it be the problem of my PROJ installation?
Thanks

Try ogrinfo, i.e.
$ ogrinfo -al ./shapefile.shp
The first bit of information returned provides an overview of the data
(extent, field definitions, geometry type), then followed by a
feature-by-feature report.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Full extent of the shape file
I have the shape file, which metadata says to have the extent of
Spatial_Domain:
Bounding_Coordinates:
West_Bounding_Coordinate: -122.5
East_Bounding_Coordinate: -121.1
North_Bounding_Coordinate: 47.8
South_Bounding_Coordinate: 47.1
Mapserver however identifies the following boundary (when requested via
GetCapabilities WMS request)
king_cou
EPSG:2855
maxx="-106.113" maxy="49.1724" />
minx="1.21826e+006" miny="30932.7"
maxx="1.57787e+006" maxy="287704" />
The LatLonBoundingBox is completely different than the real boundary
defined by the meta info. Mapserver actually returns the image if
requested with an extent within "it's own" boundary but return only
blank if boundary is outside of that, but within the metainfo boundary.
Any thoughts? What tool can I use to check the full extent of a shape
file.
Why does Mapserver reads wrong full extent?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
