I'll see if I can fix the configure script to better handle this situation: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1017 In the meantime you could try to rebuild your GD using the iconv functions from libc.so... I would hope that this is what the GD build scripts would do by default if you do not have a local copy if libiconv on your system but I may be wrong. I never tried that. If you could copy your GD configure command to the bug that may help.

So far so good except I'm starting to run into some things I don't think the CGI was designed to do. At least not per the docs. Specifically I need search functionality. I want to be able to pass in a layer, an attribute and a value to search for and get back the bounding rectangle of all the features returned. I'm pretty sure the CGI won't do that. Correct me if I'm wrong so I don't waste time please. So what I'd like to do is write my own CGI that does return this info. So these are my questions: When you search a layer using mapserver's C api and it is searching a shapefile and you want to search the whole shapefile regardless of bounds is there any special searching that goes on or is it a straight loop through all the records in the shape file looking for matches in the attribute field specified? IE does it load a b-tree in memory and then search the tree or anything like that?

Romolo, I think you need to be more specific about "whatever setting I place in the mapfile". Skimming through the reference file code it looks like the interlacing should be controlled by the main map object imagetype. What have you set IMAGETYPE to?

Can't help you on the PHP front, but don't mind diverting in postgis for a moment. Assuming you already have a point shapefile loaded into PostGIS, a single INSERT statement should do the trick. (but let me know if you don't know how to get to an SQL command window) Also assuming that you have a table and it has a single column (not likely) with just point geometry. Something like this is a start: insert into mytable values ('SRID=-1;POINT(' || 47.414467 || ' ' || 9.556133 || ')'); This probably looks more complicated than it needs to be but basically you can use 'normal' insert statements to hack together a text string that looks like the same format you see what you query the table. I haven't tried the exact above statement, but gleaned it from a view I create from a table holding x,y data in straight numeric (non-geo) columns. Hope that helps.

In geometry_colums, the srid is 32633 and all the geometries have SRID=32633. The layers cover approximately the same area. msPOSTGISLayerGetExtent does not want to check the actual data and sets minx to -1*FLT_MAX and maxx to FLT_MAX. How can I help Mapserver determine the bounding box of a PostGIS layer? I was hoping it would be possible to give mapserver a hint? Something like specifying EXTENT for the LAYER? Is there a OWS/WMS parameter for this? -- H?vard Tveite IMT, NLH From temiz at DEPREM.GOV.TR Tue Nov 2 04:57:06 2004 From: temiz at DEPREM.GOV.TR (temiz) Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 14:57:06 +0200 Subject: reference map with php-mapscript Message-ID: hello I was wondering how I could get reference map with php-mapscript ? regards Ahmet Temiz Turkey ______________________________________ Inflex - installed on mailserver for domain @deprem.gov.tr Queries to: postmaster at deprem.gov.tr ______________________________________ The views and opinions expressed in this e-mail message are the sender's own and do not necessarily represent the views and the opinions of Earthquake Research Dept. of General Directorate of Disaster Affairs.

Do you have a working MapServer application in browse mode that is running too slowly? If so, please give us some details about the application, and we'll try to help you optimize it. If not, please do that first!

Romolo, OK, I tried doing a simple png generation using options similar to the above, and the resulting file was not interlaced. If you can submit a detailed bug report in the mapserver bugzilla and assign it to me I will look into the problem. I would need: o Info on your version. o A minimal map file that generates the error in question. o All supporting data files required by the map file o The exact URL to reproduce the problem. In fact, you should first verify you are getting the problem when you run "locally" using the "mapserv QUERY_STRINg='...'" approach. I will want to be able to run mapserv with your .map and data files to reproduce the problem on my machine. Please do not leave lots of spurious references to font files, symbol files, web temp directories, unneeded layers and so forth in the map file. It just complicates things. Also, make sure you assign the bug report directly to me.

Norman, For most GPS formats it should be pretty easy to write a script in the scripting language of your choice to convert to shapefiles. You can use the commandline utilities from shapelib (http://shapelib.maptools.org) to create a shapefile, and points one at a time if you want. Or you can get one of the shapelib language bindings (I think python and perl ones exist around) to do a more direct operation. I think you can also write shapefiles with mapscript (perl, python, etc) so that might be the most direct route. You could also write a small C program to do the conversion using shapelib.

I think we're close to thread safety, but it's hard to say without more testing. As far as I know, my ZMapServer (Zope + Python mapscript) software is the only thing out there that is using MapServer in a multi-threaded environment. It works, but is not a complete proof of thread safety. There remains much work to be done to in improving MapServer's threaded performance. The single lexer for parsing mapfiles and class expressions is a bottleneck that will be addressed in the future. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From cartman8d at YAHOO.COM Tue Nov 2 13:46:47 2004 From: cartman8d at YAHOO.COM (Cartman) Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2004 15:46:47 -0600 Subject: Help with php compilation Message-ID: Hi, I found this url http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RedHat9AndMapserver40 and I'm following the instructions that there are. but I have problems with the php compilation.

I have created a .MAP file that contains 6 layers. Each layer is a different shapefile. I can view all of these shape files in my browser (IE) together straight from mapserver, but when I try view them as a WMS service, only 3 of the 6 layers will show up at any one time. I have the WMS-service set to allow the layers to be turned on or off, when i turn any 3 on they show up fine, but when I turn on a fourth layer, they all disappear. All of the layers will show up as long as no more than 3 are turned on at one time. I am usign MapServer 4.2.3, Tomcat 5.0.27. Hopefully I have explained everything clearly.

Message-ID: Steve, Tahnks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid that wasn't it. I removed the RPM's provided for 2.1.4 and built 2.1.9 from source. Ran ldconfig ... Problem remains ... Re-compile GD and MapServer, just to be sure ... Problem remains ... I had a quick look at the raw data with the shapelib tools, and I see nothing suggesting there's anything special about the text in the DBF that could cause this. I've tested it on 2 maps where this occurs. Could it be related to the labelling cache? In what order are labels drawn? If from top-left to bottom-right, then it would seem that it's alway sthe "last" label that does this ... I'll try more maps to see if I detect a pattern (It's a bit of work because I have to convert the mapfile from 3.6.6). If there's anything else I can do to help track this down, do let me know!

I didn't see your original posting, sorry. With 4.4 I would use GD 2.0.28 and FreeType 2.1.9 and see if that fixes things. FT 2.1.4 is 18 months old and GD has undergone a ton of TrueType work in the last few months so let's get current and rule that out first. Then we can deal with the issue if it persists.

I'l go look at the data when I have a minute, but in the mean time, what versions of GD and FreeType am I supposed to use for 4.4? As mentionned I'm using gd 2.0.28 with FreeType 2.1.4 ... Could that be the cause? A simple versionning mismatch? One thought I had was that it must be strings with spaces (i.e. seperate words), but that doesn't seem to be it, since there are many that DO work. Also doesn't seem to be related to wrapping, since in 3.6.6 at least these are strings that don't wrap. If I don't hear anything to the contrary, I'll keep playing with this, and if no solution comes apparent, I'll file it as a bug in bugzilla ...

How about attaching an example of the problem in a way that will make it through the listserv? Or putting them online or through bugzilla and post a URL? I did make some changes to the rendering core of mapserver in 4.2.4 and 4.3, but I have no way to know what problems you are talking about here.

Implementation of what? Do you mean a programming API like the php mapscript module? If this is what you mean, you should look at the Java stuff that you can generate using SWIG. In mapserver versions 4.2.4+ and in the 4.4.0 beta1 there is a Java makefile under mapserver/mapscript/java. It seems to work, but as I've said -- I'm not a Java user and so am not beating on the Java mapscript module heavily enough or often enough to say anything about its readiness.

The source should be available shortly on the main MapServer site. In the meantime you can grab a copy from CVS or from: http://maptools.org/dl/mapserver-4.4.0-beta2.tar.gz Windows binaries should be available in the next day or so as well at the usual locations: Howard Butler's "kitchen sink" release that includes GDAL, Proj.4, PDF output, SWF output, MrSID, NetCDF, JPEG2000, ECW, PostGIS, GML, WFS Server/Client, WMS Server/Client, DEBUG output, GIF, PNG, and JPEG: http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/beta_4_4_0 And the PHP MapScript package on maptools.org: http://maptools.org/php_mapscript/index.phtml?page=downloads.html Finally, I have included below the complete list of fixes/changes since beta1. As usual, please send your questions via the mailing list (I mean it!) or report bugs via bugzilla. Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette dmorissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Version 4.4.0-beta2 (2004-11-03) -------------------------------- - free mapServObj properly in mapserv.c in OWS dispatch case to fix minor memory leaks. - modified msCloseConnections() to also close raster layers so that held raster query results will be freed. - modified raster queries to properly set the classindex in the resultcache. - modified msDrawQueryCache() to be very careful to not try and lookup information on out-of-range classindex values. This seems to occur when default shapes come back witha classindex of 0 even if there are no classes. (ie. raster query results). - the loadmapcontext function has changed it behaviour : before the 4.4 relase when loading layers from a map context, the layer name was built using a unique prefix + the name found in the context (eg for the 2nd layer in map context named park, the layer name generated would possibly be l:2:park). Now the loadmapcontext takes a 2nd optional argument to force the creation of the unique names. The default behaviour is now to have the layer name equals to the name found in the context file. (Bug 1023) - Fixed problem with WMS GetCapabilities aborting when wms_layer_group is used for some layers but not for all. (bug 1024) - Changed raster queries to return the list of all pixel values as an attribute named "value_list" rather than "values" to avoid conflict with special [values] substitution rule in maptemplate.c. - Fixed raster queries to reproject results back to map projection, and to do point queries distance checking against the correct projection. (bug 1021) - Get rid of WMS 1.0.8 support. It's not an officially supported verison of the spec anyway: it's synonymous for 1.1.0 (bug 1022) - Allow use of '=' inside HTML template tag parser. (Bug 978) - Use metadata ows_schema_location for WMS/WFS/WCS/SLD (Bug 999, 1013, 938) (The default value if metadata is not found is http://schemas.opengeospatial.net) - Generate a RULE tag when generating an SLD. (Bug 1010) - WMS GetLegendGraphic uses now the RULE value to return an icon for a class that has the same name as the RULE value (Bug 843) - Add msOWSPrintURLType: This funciton is a generic URL printing fuction for OGC specification metadata (WMS, WFS, WCS, WMC, etc.) (Bug 944). - Support MetadataURL, DataURL and LegendURL tags in WMS capabilities document and MetadataURL in WFS capabilities. - SWIG mapscript: clone methods for layerObj, classObj, styleObj (bug 1012). - Implemented an intarray helper class for SWIG mapscript which allows for multi-language manipulation of layer drawing order (bugs 853, 1005). - Fixed WMS GetLegendGraphic which was returning an exception (GD error) when requested layer was out of scale (bug 1006). - Fixed maplexer.l to work with flex 2.5.31 (bug 975). - WMS GetMap requests now have MS_NONSQUARE enabled by default. This means that if the width/height ratio doesn't match the extent's x/y ratio then the map is stretched as stated in the WMS specification (bug 862) - In WMS, layers with no explicit projection defined will receive a copy of the map's projectionObj if a new SRS is specified in the GetMap request or if MS_NONSQUARE is enabled. This will prevent the problem with layers that don't show up in WMS request when the server administrator forgets to explicitly set projections on all the layers in a WMS mapfile. (bug 947) - Implemented FastCGI cleanup support for win32 and unix in mapserv.c. - Solved configure/compile issues with libiconv (bugs 909, 1017) From 39507 at MAIL.MUNI.CZ Wed Nov 3 17:37:19 2004 From: 39507 at MAIL.MUNI.CZ (=?iso-8859-2?Q?Michal_Krupi=E8ka?=) Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 02:37:19 +0100 Subject: LABELS on demand Message-ID: Dear users and developers, is there any way to show labels only when user wishes to see them?

Many users have loads of unnecessary trouble building the regex-0.12 library just to compile ONE source file, because the makefile is badly broken. In general I think makefiles are much more suitable for this purpose than project/workspace files. Workspace files, particularly where there are multiple external dependencies, are VERY hard to make portable and very hard to maintain. If you're going to attempt to create a complete build-from-source effort for MapServer and all its supporting libraries, I would urge to you to get it all working with makefiles first before attempting to import/migrate those to .dsp project files. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Frank Warmerdam Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 10:02 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] compiling mapserver on windows problem Ivan Mjartan wrote: > Hi everybody, > > I have question, is anybody who compile mapserver with Microsoft > visual C++ 6.0 ?

Then Umberto stepped forward and contributed a new Makefile and patches, and it seems to be in a workable state. I've also fixed the most obvious threading issues in MapServer itself. I'd really appreciate it if the two of you would download the new 4.4.0 beta releases and try them out. Make some servlets and pound on them and see if Java mapscript is reliable. I think this is really the only way to know for sure. BTW, once you have MapServer itself compiled, the Java Makefile in 4.4.0 works fine with FC2.

In 4.4 we try to error out on multiple defined values for stuff like NAME. It is an improvement ... really! In the past the first name was ignored and the second was used but if the second was far down in a complex layer definition it would be easy to miss it and not know why referring to the layer by it's first name didn't work.

I have done some load testing and did not found evident issues, even though threading errors are rather difficult to spot. A random thought on this: disabling the use-threads compile flag and running the load tests afterwards shows many errors in the log files.

When php_mapscript.so is loaded into PHP you end up with two different copies of the GD library in the same program and either one can be used at different times in an unpredictable way, leading to odd behaviors or even crashes. I'd suggest recompiling your PHP with the system GD (--with-gd=/usr/local ???) and see if that helps.

I'd suggest that you simply remove the --with-pdf PHP configure option unless you really need PDF at this point. When you really need PDF then you can come back to this problem. Note that this problem is really a PHP issue and has nothing to do directly with MapServer.

Ivan, I'm not sure I understand the question. Just use Visual C++, but from the commandline with NMAKE and the existing windows makefiles. I imagine there is a wiki topic or a README or something about how to build ... Ah yes, README.WIN32 in the mapserver directory. Read it over. Look at the NMAKE.OPT and go to work. You will need a GD library, I use the 2.0.30 binaries from boutell.com (don't forget to run the .bat file to make the VC++ stub library). The pre-built GD is nice because it includes PNG, GIF, JPEG and Freetype all in one DLL. You will also need regex as per the readme. Disable most of the other cruft while you are getting things running, and then if you need options add them in later. Once you have read all the docs, and experimented appropriately you can ask questions on windows building on the mapserver-dev list. Please take some time to point out "out of date" issues in the README.WIN32 or other windows stuff. We still have time to streamline the windows building a bit for 4.4 release. Ultraedit should be fine as an editor.

So I turn to you guys. I am wanting to join contiguous polygons into one shape. For instance, I have place where there is a water polygon, and with in that is another, smaller water polygon. So I end up with 2 rings in my map (I need to outline the polygon). Or I have two contiguous water shapes, with a line down the middle, where there really doesn't need to be one.

Peter, Generally speaking that would be a good idea, though in this case I know there are no issues with replacing 4.4.8 with 4.4.9 for mapserver. So, in this case you don't have to.

But editors are mainly a matter of personal preference and/or Baby Duck Syndrome, so I wouldn't take my recommendation too seriously. The only thing I'm suggesting is that you simply use nmake to do builds rather than using the integrated make/compile/debug tools.

If I have two layers with the same name there is the chance that I set one off and the other one is still on. I had to set two groups on a layer because there it kind of belongs to two different groups... But I solved the problem, but not in the smartest way, but solved. If there is a smartest way tell me please.

Create a new layer identical to the first layer except for the GROUP name. The layer will be included in both groups. LAYER NAME "layer_one" GROUP "group_one" ...

Please update as soon as possible if you are using OGR VRT datasources. 2) Libtiff is under active revision lately, and I believe there may have been some signficant bugs in 1.2.3 with building overviews. Consider upgrading to 1.2.4 if you might be doing this (even for non-GeoTIFF formats since the overviews are stored as TIFFs). Enjoy! GDAL 1.2.4 - Overview of Changes -------------------------------- gdalwarp: - Fixed some issues with only partially transformable regions. - Added Alpha mask generation support (-dstalpha switch). HFA/Imagine Driver: - bug fix in histogram handling. - improved support for large colormaps. Envi Driver: - Capture category names and colormaps when reading. SAR CEOS Driver: - Added support for PALSAR/ALOS Polarmetric Datasets. RadarSat 2 Driver: - New. Reads RadarSat 2 Polarmetric datasets with a "product.xml" and imagery in TIFF files. OGDI Driver: - Important bug fix for downsampled access. GeoTIFF Driver: - Lots of libtiff upgrades, including some quite serious bug fixes. - Added better support for 16bit colormaps. - Write projection information even if we don't have a geotransform or GCPs. - Improved alpha support. - Generate graceful error message for BigTIFF files. DODS Driver: - Almost completely reimplemented. Uses chunk-by-chunk access. Supports reading several bands from seperate objects. Some new limitations too. NetCDF Driver: - Seperated out a GMT NetCDF driver and a more generic but partially broken NetCDF driver (Radim). JP2KAK Driver: - Added alpha support, including greyscale+alpha. AirSAR Driver: - New, reads AirSAR Polarmetric Radar format. OGR 1.2.4 - Overview of Changes ------------------------------- epsg_tr.py: - Added escaping rules when generating PostGIS output. tigerpoly.py: - Discard dangles and degenerate rings. VRT Driver: - Fixed serious error in handling cleanup of VRT datasources, was often causing a crash. SQLLite Driver: - Fixed substantial memory leaks. MySQL Driver: - New readonly non-spatial MySQL driver implemented. MITAB Driver: - Updated from upstream, several fixes. TIGER/Line Driver: - Fixed serious bug with handling "full" records at end of .RT2 file. OCI/Oracle Driver: - Added OCI_FID environment support to control FID selection. OGRGeometry: - Added Centroid() implementation (from GEOS?) -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | Geospatial Programmer for Rent From tom_price at YAHOO.COM Mon Nov 8 15:57:12 2004 From: tom_price at YAHOO.COM (Tom Price) Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2004 15:57:12 -0800 Subject: PHP mapscript module not found Message-ID: I am in the process of upgrading PHP from 4.2.1 to 4.3.7. Mapscript 3.6.2 seems to have a problem with this version of PHP (getting message about "php_mapscript cannot be used as a 'cgi-fcgi' module") even though PHP is installed as a CGI. So then upgraded Mapscript to 4.3 and started getting this message instead: Warning: Unable to load dynamic library './php_mapscript_43.dll' - The specified module could not be found. Message appears if module is enabled in php.ini or if loaded using a "dl" command. The php_mapscript_43.dll file is in same folder with php.exe and extension_dir is set to "./" in php.ini. (No change from 3.6.2) Adding php folder to the path did not seem to make any difference. Running IIS/PWS 5 on Windows 2000 Pro SP4.

I'm not so far in my web development, but I have created the map files and I can see the map in the browser and turn the layers on and off. I can zoom in/zoom out. I'm working on Windows 2000 with IIS. I was trying to find out how to get the information about a particular layer. I mean in my map file, I'm using shape files for creating layers. What I'm looking for is...when the user clicks on particular layer,suppose it is a point, how to get the data about that point. I want to retrieve that data from the shape file and display it in tabular form. For an e.g., if there is a layer(point) for displaying a particular species found in the water,and when the user clicks on one point I want to display the information such as water latlon, section number where the species found, common name of the species etc. Do i need to write the query somewhere? If yes, where? Or I can get this data also from the shape file, by writing some code in the map file? If someone have code samples or an idea how could this be done, or at least the can tell me where i could find this kind of information, that will be great, Thank you, Manjiri Andhare GIS Co-ordinator, PA Fish & Boat Commission, U.S.A.

Nuno, I don't see an obvious problem. What does a gdalinfo report on your out.tif look like now? Note there was a serious bug in some recent versions of GDAL with adding overviews. It would corrupt the file, and MapServer might just not draw the layer in this circumstance. If that is the case you will need to update to GDAL 1.2.4 to build your overviews.

But I will point out that internally mapserver normally adjusts your extents so as to maintain square pixels. So if your SIZE parameter does not have the same aspect ratio as your EXTENT parameter then the extent will be grown in one dimension or the other in order to have the same aspect ratio. There are some ways of overcoming this if it is important for you to have non-square aspect ratios.

For those new to the concept, IMSEMU is a script which wraps around Mapserver and speaks ArcXML to client software. This allows ESRI software such as ArcMap and ArcExplorer to directly access mapserver services using ArcXML -- no special interoperability extensions required. The new version of IMSEMU is written using PHP/Mapscript, so the installation should be much easier than for the old Perl based version. Assuming you have PHP support for Mapscript and DOMXML, just drop the script in the right place and go. The new version also adds many features. The binary stream format is now partially supported, so many feature-based aspects of ArcXML are supported, such as full preview mode in ArcCatalog. There are still things missing, but we are looking forward to your help in finding the remaining gaps and filling them in. You can download IMSEMU from http://mapserver.refractions.net Paul From ivano.picco at AQUPI.TK Tue Nov 9 07:57:02 2004 From: ivano.picco at AQUPI.TK (Ivano Picco) Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 09:57:02 -0600 Subject: OGR bug? Message-ID: Hi!, Some week ago I posted some questions about SVG generation from Oracle Spatial data using OGR, but I didn't get usefull answer, maybe because my questions were wrong (Creating SVG from Shapefile, Oracle Spatial, ArcSDE - 6 Oct 2004). I made some other test, also using perl mapscript, to bypass some bug in mapserv code. There's my results: Both using mapserv or my simple perl script the OGR driver for Oracle Spatial took about 2Gbytes of memory to getFeature from a layer with 4800 geometries (the shapefile is 2,6 Mbyte). Both the performance is worst than arcsde connection or shapefile access (6s shape, 21s SDE): about 10 minutes running perl script !!! I think there's a bug in OGR implementation where it's used to get features or shapes (with perl mapscript getFeature, or query layer with mapserv). Please, could you confirm this bug? Other questions: why I can't use getFeature method with OracleSpatial connection type? Why I can't draw map from SDE or OGR layer? There's any plan to support all methods on all connection types? There's some workaround to get features from OracleSpatial connection?, and one to define a query layer?

Ivano, There was another report as well that OGR has some sort of a memory leak accessing Oracle. I haven't confirmed this yet since my new Oracle instance is on Win32 where I lack good memory leak testing tools but I do plan to work on the problem this week. You might want to add yourself to the cc: list for the bug. http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663 > I think there's a bug in OGR implementation where it's used to get features > or shapes (with perl mapscript getFeature, or query layer with mapserv). > Please, could you confirm this bug? Do you mean a memory leak bug or something else? The GetFeature() method at the OGR level is supposed to work with the OCI driver. If there isn't an identified primary key (currently I just look for a field named OGR_FID) then I end up just using a sequence number as the index, and then fetching an individual feature can be very expensive (I have to run through all the features to count to it). If you think you are running into additional issues please let me know with details on how to reproduce the issue. Ideally if you can reproduce an issue with ogrinfo it is easy for me to track down then if I also need to go through mapserver layers. > Other questions: why I can't use getFeature method with OracleSpatial > connection type? Fernando Simon is now actively maintaining the direct Oracle Spatial support in mapserver. You could submit an enhancement request for direct feature access. Make sure you select the "Oracle Spatial" category when submitting the bug report. > Why I can't draw map from SDE or OGR layer? You can. I think you will need to be more specific about what problem you encounter. > There's any plan to support all methods on all connection types? It is entirely dependent on the maintainers of the modules in question. The "core maintainers" don't generally have access to esoteric configurations (such as Oracle Spatial, SDE, etc) and/or are not willing to take responsibility for these complex interfaces. So the degree of support is determined by the maintainers of the connection code.

Olivier, Did you rebuild MapServer and PHP MapScript after updating to GDAL 1.2.4? If you can rebuild them PHP MapScript perhaps you should do so with debug so you can get a traceback in gdb to see where things are crashing. I am not really a PHP user, so it isn't particularly easy for me to debug from my end.

Oliver, The fact that the traceback shows a crash down inside the mysql odbc driver on the SQLConnect() suggests to me that the issue is not specifically mapserver or OGR but the odbc configuration. The arguments to SQLConnect() look reasonable ... certainly no obvious reason for a crash. I really don't know what to suggest.

I have ran the same perl script or mapserv request against the shapefile or the ArcSDE and everything works fine. Maybe it's a problem involving mapserver. I modify my perl script to give me information about memory size occupied (VmSize from /proc/PID/status): with SDE and shapefile access sometimes it loads some kbytes (max 8 kbyte SDE, 4Kbyte Spatial). With OCI it reports a new memory allocations of 20 to 88 Kbytes for every loop! Maybe this is the memory leak you talk about. This is my perl script: [...CUT...] $PID=Linux::Pid::getpid(); die mapscript::ms_error->{message} unless my $layer = $map->getLayerByName('isolati_10k_SDO_OGR'); print "Loading Layer ".$layer->{index}."\n"; $layer->open(); print `cat /proc/$PID\/status`; my $i=1; my $shape= $layer->getFeature($i); while ( $shape->{bounds}->{minx}>0 && $i<10){ print "Shape $i has ". $shape->{numlines} ." part(s) - "; for($j=0; $j<$shape->{numlines}; $j++) { my $part = $shape->get($j); print "Part $j has ". $part->{numpoints} ." point(s)\n"; for($k=0; $k<$part->{numpoints}; $k++) { my $point = $part->get($k); print "$k: ". $point->{x} .", ". $point->{y} ."\n"; } print `cat /proc/$PID\/status`; } $i++; $shape= $layer->getFeature($i); } [...CUT...] About image draw: I try to draw map of a SDE end OCI layer with this mapscript: [...CUT...] my $img = $map->prepareImage(); $layer->draw($map, $img); $img->save('prova.gif'); [...CUT...] It draws an image from shapefile and Oracle Spatial, but it returns a blank image from SDE and OCI layer. I thought it was another unsupported method like getFeature on Oracle Spatial layer. About fetching features: >The GetFeature() method at >the OGR level is supposed to work with the OCI driver. If there isn't an >identified primary key (currently I just look for a field named OGR_FID) >then I end up just using a sequence number as the index, and then fetching >an individual feature can be very expensive (I have to run through all the >features to count to it). mmmh, I don't understand. Do you identify a primary key (I use a field named OBJECTID as a primary key, like SDE and shapefile format)? Would I have to specify it?, where? Do you load every layer's feature to get the one at index j? I made my tests on a Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS, kernel 2.4.9, 4 cpus, 1.5 Gbyte RAM, Mapserver 4.4.0-beta2 and GDAL 1.2.4, ArcSDE 8.3 and Oracle Spatial 9.2.0.1 and 10.0.1.0.2.

LiangXu Wang, If you run gdalinfo on a complex HDF file you will see a list of subdatasets. Stuff like: Subdatasets: SUBDATASET_1_NAME=HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/u/data/hdf/MOD07_L2.A2000110.0220.002.2 000196104217.hdf":mod07:Scan_Start_Time SUBDATASET_1_DESC=[406x270] Scan_Start_Time (64-bit floating-point) SUBDATASET_2_NAME=HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/u/data/hdf/MOD07_L2.A2000110.0220.002.2 000196104217.hdf":mod07:Solar_Zenith SUBDATASET_2_DESC=[406x270] Solar_Zenith (16-bit integer) SUBDATASET_3_NAME=HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/u/data/hdf/MOD07_L2.A2000110.0220.002.2 000196104217.hdf":mod07:Solar_Azimuth SUBDATASET_3_DESC=[406x270] Solar_Azimuth (16-bit integer) SUBDATASET_4_NAME=HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/u/data/hdf/MOD07_L2.A2000110.0220.002.2 000196104217.hdf":mod07:Sensor_Zenith SUBDATASET_4_DESC=[406x270] Sensor_Zenith (16-bit integer) SUBDATASET_5_NAME=HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/u/data/hdf/MOD07_L2.A2000110.0220.002.2 000196104217.hdf":mod07:Sensor_Azimuth SUBDATASET_5_DESC=[406x270] Sensor_Azimuth (16-bit integer) SUBDATASET_6_NAME=HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/u/data/hdf/MOD07_L2.A2000110.0220.002.2 000196104217.hdf":mod07:Brightness_Temperature Take the SUBDATASET_n_NAME you want, and use that in your DATA statement in your mapfile. Make sure you use single quotes around it since the name itself includes double quotes. eg. DATA 'HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"/u/data/hdf/MOD07_L2.A2000110.0220.002.2000196104217.hdf":mod07:Brightness_Temperature' Also, make sure you use absolute paths since the SHAPEPATH and other MapServer path manipulation won't work properly in these dataset names since they are not just the name of a simple filesystem object.

That's not a very useful value because a degree of latitude isn't the same size as a degree of longitude, and "one degree" measured at an angle isn't a very useful measurement to most people. However, that's the property of the map projection you're using, and that's what the scale will be. If you need to provide the ability to measure distances in feet or meters or the like, you will need to construct a JavaScript measurement tool or similar doodad to do the calculation.

The first person to reply may not be able to answer all your questions, and answering one question isn't a commitment to answer them ALL . I'm having a little trouble parsing your comments - what exactly are you trying to do? It sounds like you're trying to compute the scale in feet or meters from the extent in "degrees", and if that's the case you need to also take into account the angle of the measurement - in case the measurement is neither due east-west or north-south. Are you trying to display a scale bar, compute a distance between two points, or somehow reproject or rescale the source map image? - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: peter Willis [mailto:peterw at borstad.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 1:43 PM To: Ed McNierney Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Geographically square pixels Hello Ed, So, to define the pixel scale, the 'scale' value for the raster layer is the thing I set? As you imply, this won't do me much good if the raster covers a substantial distance in the north/south direction. I was hoping for 4-corners + center-coordinate input to re-map based on the changing east-west image pixel size, as the swath travels south to north..... Peter Ed McNierney wrote: >Peter - > >If you have an image in that projection, the scale MUST be expressed in "degrees". That's not a very useful value because a degree of latitude isn't the same size as a degree of longitude, and "one degree" measured at an angle isn't a very useful measurement to most people. However, that's the property of the map projection you're using, and that's what the scale will be. > >If you need to provide the ability to measure distances in feet or meters or the like, you will need to construct a JavaScript measurement tool or similar doodad to do the calculation.

My mail seems to be filtering all the list emails into the spam box and when I replied it went through the wrong email account. Second to that your email seems to send one response from you and then later I get one from the mail list. So, when I 'replied' to your response, it went only to you.I guess I'll need to be more careful. I am trying to reproject a set of source images that have equal area pixels, in degrees, to a lambert projection in meters. The mapserver is set up to output lambert equal area meters. That part works fine. I already have UTM projected tif source images being reprojected to the proper lambert space. I am trying to figure out how to set up my mapserver config file to use these tif files that have equal area pixels in degrees rather than meters. ie: LAYER NAME some_raster TYPE RASTER PROJECTION "+proj=latlong" "+scale=0.00002" <-------------------??????degrees decimal?

That's not a very useful value because a degree of latitude isn't the same size as a degree of longitude, and "one degree" measured at an angle isn't a very useful measurement to most people.

Are you able to see the image when you run a regular MapServer CGI request (i.e. http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wcs?map=/ge/data/iceds/alpha/umms/wcs_land3.map&layer=LC5&mode=map)? 2. Is your image 16- or 8-bit? If 8-bit, perhaps you should replace IMAGEMODE INT16 with IMAGEMODE PC256 in OUTPUTFORMAT (also replace the NAME accordingly). 3. What Frank said in another post. Cheers!

It would be nice to have something like: COLOR_RAMP COLOR_ATTRIBUTE MIN_VALUE MAX_VALUE MIN_COLOR R G B MAX_COLOR R G B COLOR_STEP n OFF_COLOR R G B END Where the value from the column would be interpolated between min and max value and then assign a color value appropriately between min and max color. COLOR_STEP would define discreet steps in the color ramp. and any value outside min and max value would be assign OFF_COLOR But alas we don't have anything like this :( -Steve W.

The only bother is adding an attribute or two to your contours shapefile (or spatial table etc). In my contour shapefile, I have an attribute that distinguishes between major and minor contours in my dataset (for example to distinguish 50m contour intervals from an intermediate set of 10m contours). The layer is then classified in my map file accordingly. This is also useful if you want to hide the minor contours when you zoom out. If you want to get trickier, you can add yet another attribute, that distinguishes another subset of contours if your map is intended to be viewed from extremely zoomed in to zoomed out scales. (for example to show just 100m contours in the above example). This takes expressions that are a little more complex in the layer classes, that checks both attributes. Check out the results in my website: http://24.87.220.99/ms/iwafs.html --the site will be very slow if I'm playing my Star Wars game! hehe ... in the initial map view, you see 20m and 100m contours, the 100m's are thicker and brighter than the 20m's. ... if you dare to zoom in far enough, you'll see 2m contours displayed. Click on the 'Legend' button at the top to see the symbolization of the contours, and the scale ranges at which they appear. I'm sure you could also accomplish the same thing in another manner by reading the contours from a MapInfo table using an OGR connection, if you are a wizz at making the MapInfo table.

GDAL does support multi-band subdatasets though there have been occations when it gets confused about which dimension is the bands dimension. Andrey Kiselev is the author of the HDF driver in GDAL and you might want to consult with him if you need to know particular details. In the meantime I would encourage you to experiment a bit.

Ivano, OCI_FID is a configuration variable for OGR. That means you can set it as an environment variable or define it in a CONFIG directive in your mapfile. It isn't a configure time option. I will add documentation about it to OGR driver docs though it was primarily intended as a temporary hack till I can figure out how to identify the primary key using OCI (hints welcome).

Nuno, The 1200x3 means that each TIFF block (aka strip) is 3 scanlines long whereas the original file apparently had 1 scanline long strips. Either is perfectly valid. My understanding is that the blocking logic ties to keep each block less than 8K in size, and 1200wide * 3scanlines * 2bytes/pixel would be 7200 bytes. I'm very pleased you have things working now. I was afraid I was going to have to dig into reproducing your problems.

In "normal" use of MapServer, the URL will have the requested region to display in the URL but the region is in the coordinates of the map. So you would have to do a whole bunch of preprocessing magic in a mapscript script to recognise that a request has wandered from one zone into another and transform the requested BBOX as well as overriding the mapObj coordinate system. I personally would encourage you to select a single coordinate system appropriate for the whole region you want to work on if at all possible. It would save you alot of headaches.

This would, of course, limit you to using MapServer only to generate images - you'd need to manage the rest of the application and presentation logic yourself. However, you'd need to do that anyway to keep track of the UTM zone you're in and calculate the appropriate bounding box coordinates for the map request in the zone/projection you desire. That's exactly what we do on TopoZone, and you can see an example here: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=36&lon=-120 That's just a random spot right on the UTM Zone 10/11 boundary. Click just to the right of center and you'll be looking at a UTM Zone 11 map, with the left-hand side reprojected into Zone 11; click to the left of center and you'll see a UTM Zone 10 map, with the right side reprojected. Since the default coordinate datum is NAD83, the transition point is actually a little to the right of where you can see the seam between quads, because the quads are bounded by NAD27 lat/lon boxes. The map images are all generated using OGC WMS requests. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: +1 978 251-4242 Fax: +1 978 251-1396 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Frank Warmerdam Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 5:26 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] question on projections Chris wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm wondering how I can change from one projection to the other one > the fly, depending on the area of the map I'm in. > > For example, if I'm using UTM projections, and I pan from one UTM zone > to ther other, how can I switch my output projection let's say from > UTM 16 to UTM 17.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Joseph, Can you explain more about what you want to achieve using a join? or why you think you need to use a join? Typically joins are only supported on QUERY with a template if you are using shapefiles. If you are looking to use a join for say classification of polygons for thematic mapping you should probably look into moving all your data into PostGIS as it it not supported for shapefiles (much to my consternation and occasional prodding otherwise). -Steve Joseph Norris wrote: > Stephen, > > One more question.

Hope it can be of use. A shape file is actually a database table with a spatial dimension. A shape file contains for each object attributes and a spatial object (point, line, region or text). MapServer and desktop GIS programs like ArcView are optimized for spatial search like "which region is a point within". You can use the mapserv.exe as a CGI for your request. Use the documentation on CGI-variables for MapServer to compose a request URL to the mapserv.exe. Use the documentation on map-file syntax for MapServer to set op the configuration for mapserv.exe. In the map-file you specify how mapserv.exe connects to the shape-file and refers to HTML-templates. Mapserve.exe uses the HTML-templates to format the output af the request. There is also a documentation on how to make a template. regards Stella On Fri, 12 Nov 2004 02:55:35 -0600, Harry T.

Michael, In theory you can do it via an OGR connection without even using the VRT stuff. The DATA statement in the map file can be a SELECT statement when you are using the OGR connection type. In theory if you connect to a shapefile you could have a select statement that also joins attribute information from an ODBC connection. First, I think you will need to have a .dbf associated with your shapefile that has at least your relation key. I don't think it is possible to use the FID (ie. the shapefile sequence number) in the OGR SQL statements. You might use something like: SELECT * from city LEFT JOIN 'ODBC:YourAccessDSN'.city_info ON city.id = city_info.id assuming your shapefile is called "city.shp" and has a column called id, and that your msaccess table is called city_info and also has a column called id to relate on. The 'ODBC:' portion of the above is a bit of OGR SQL special syntax allowing you to refer to a different datasource than the one you listed in your CONNECTION string. Assuming you have setup a system DSN called YourAccessDSN, and that there are no userid or password required it would look something like the above. I would add that connecting to ODBC datasources with alot of tables can be somewhat expensive. If there are alot of tables in your access database, you might want to list the one you want access to in the datasource name so OGR only has to collect the table definition for that one table. Lastly, OGR is going to end up doing a SELECT on the ODBC datasource for each shape it reads from the shapefile. Something like "selct * from city_info where id = ". So make sure you index your secondary table on relation key or performance will completely suck. As it is, this will not exactly be a high performance operation.

If WMS server supports GetFeatureInfo operation then it is possible to create HTML hyperlinks with ... part of Virtual Data File (VDF). This should work for any WMS client compliant to OGC/CGDI specifications. WMS client has to be equipped with GetFeatureInfo request capabilities. The solution includes usage of concatenation and escape characters technique in SQL string between tags .... Concatenating operator for Oracle and PostgreSQL - "||", for SQL Server 2000 ? "+". Escape characters for producing HTML anchors in VDF (xml based): ?? ?>? ?&? ?&? ? ? ? ?"? Example of SQL string in VDF: SELECT '<a href="http://www.google.com">' || TableName.FieldName || '<\a>' Hyper_Linked_FieldName_Alias FROM TableName This will produce the following html code in WMS GetFeatureInfo output for the value "FieldValue" of the field "FieldName" in the table "TableName": FieldValue<\a> When displayed in a web browser as HTML output we would see only the FieldValue as an hyperlink. If a FieldValue is null then it does not make sense to create a hyperlink for this particular data. In this case SQL string has to include condition for hyperlink: SELECT CASE WHEN TableName.FieldName IS NULL then NULL ELSE '<a href="http://www.google.com">' || TableName.FieldName || '<\a>' END Hyper_Linked_FieldName_Alias FROM TableName Described syntax of SQL string in VDF (WMS server) would enable any WMS client display data as hyperlink through GetFeatureInfo request.

In-Reply-To: <41941BAA.3050000@swoodbridge.com> Message-ID: Stephen and group, What I want to learn is just how to associate my data with a map using mapserver. My experience has been with ArcIMS but my inclination is more on the open source route. To learn how to do it with ArcIMS I started with the most simplest model and went on from there. Here is the scenario: I have a Mysql database with a table of users categorized by working conditions - 1st grade teachers, 2nd grade teachers etc... in addition there is other demographic information. To begin with I would like to extract the data to a dbf file and populate my map with symbols of the location of these different types of teachers and their locations. I know that there ways to plug mapserver into Mysql via perl mapscript etc... but I am not near that point yet. Maybe my use of join was inappropriate in this context. I am seeking a simple model of my scenario so as to get into this - I don't want anybody to write it for me because I am seeking the adventure of doing it myself.

Joseph, Can you explain more about what you want to achieve using a join? or why you think you need to use a join? Typically joins are only supported on QUERY with a template if you are using shapefiles. If you are looking to use a join for say classification of polygons for thematic mapping you should probably look into moving all your data into PostGIS as it it not supported for shapefiles (much to my consternation and occasional prodding otherwise). -Steve Joseph Norris wrote: > Stephen, > > One more question.

After the research, I have been up to the point that i can get the data about one layer using the mode=QUERY. I went throught the CGI Reference Documentation. But for me the explanation about mode variables..query, nquery itemquery etc. wasn't enough. So what i want to ask is.. If I want to display information about any layer(I'll make the user to select a radio button for the layer about which he wants to see the information), which mode shall i use? And what additional code do i need to write in map file and in the html templet? Now while usig query mode, I have wrote the code in map file for 3 layer with TYPE=QUERY. But I don't know how to write the code to diaply the information in the resuling html template(tabular form)for any selection of the layer. Right now, I have wrote the code in the html file to display information about only one layer, but depending upon user selection of the layer, this information should change. How to make this change? Or do i need to write seperate template for every layer and call that template depending upon user selection? If yes, can someone provide informaiton about how to do that?

P! is really two separate polygons and should be split into them respectively. You can define a polygon that crosses the international date line by add/sub 180 to the values beyond the dateline, but these will not get wrapped to the opposite side of the image. In summary mapserver does not understand the topology of a sphere on the infinite expanse of X and Y cartesian coordinates. -Steve W.

Joe, A variety of factors may come into play with mapping across the anti-meridian. I would encourage you to review, and update the Wiki WorldMappingIssues topic as you learn more: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WorldMappingIssues There has been a bunch of work to try and handle polygons that cross the anti-meridian gracefully. I wrote the following descriptive text in mapproject.c about it when I worked on this area. It may clear up some points for you. /* Frank Warmerdam, Nov, 2001. See Also: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15 Proposal: Modify msProjectLine() so that it "dateline wraps" objects when necessary in order to preserve their shape when reprojecting to lat/long. This will be accomplished by: 1) As each vertex is reprojected, compare the X distance between that vertex and the previous vertex. If it is less than 180 then proceed to the next vertex without any special logic, otherwise: 2) Reproject the center point of the line segment from the last vertex to the current vertex into lat/long. Does it's longitude lie between the longitudes of the start and end point. If yes, return to step 1) for the next vertex ... everything is fine. 3) We have determined that this line segment is suffering from 360 degree wrap to keep in the -180 to +180 range. Now add or subtract 360 degrees as determined from the original sign of the distances. This is similar to the code there now (though disabled in CVS); however, it will ensure that big boxes will remain big, and not get dateline wrapped because of the extra test in step 2). However step 2 is invoked only very rarely so this process takes little more than the normal process. In fact, if we were sufficiently concerned about performance we could do a test on the shape MBR in lat/long space, and if the width is less than 180 we know we never need to even do test 1). What doesn't this resolve: This ensures that individual lines are kept in the proper shape when reprojected to geographic space. However, it does not: o Ensure that all rings of a polygon will get transformed to the same "side" of the world. Depending on starting points of the different rings it is entirely possible for one ring to end up in the -180 area and another ring from the same polygon to end up in the +180 area. We might possibly be able to achieve this though, by treating the multi-ring polygon as a whole and testing the first point of each additional ring against the last vertex of the previous ring (or any previous vertex for that matter). o It does not address the need to cut up lines and polygons into distinct chunks to preserve the correct semantics. Really a polygon that spaces the dateline in a -180 to 180 view should get split into two polygons. We haven't addressed that, though if it were to be addressed, it could be done as a followon and distinct step from what we are doing above. In fact this sort of improvement (split polygons based on dateline or view window) should be done for all lat/long shapes regardless of whether they are being reprojected from another projection. o It does not address issues related to viewing rectangles that go outside the -180 to 180 longitude range. For instance, it is entirely reasonable to want a 160 to 200 longitude view to see an area on the dateline clearly. Currently shapes in the -180 to -160 range which should be displayed in the 180 to 200 portion of that view will not be because there is no recogition that they belong there. */ Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | Geospatial Programmer for Rent From nunoragil at YAHOO.COM Fri Nov 12 15:30:30 2004 From: nunoragil at YAHOO.COM (Nuno GIL) Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 15:30:30 -0800 Subject: 8-bit Geotiff ColorInterp=Gray and WCS questions Message-ID: Hi listers, I'm trying to retrieve a 8-bit geotiff from the mapserver wcs.

There is some sort of maximum image request size parameter you can put in the mapfile for WMS. I am not sure if it applies to WCS or not.

My understanding is that the WCS code should support normal "nodata" handling, and that areas for which there is no data should be set to the IMAGECOLOR value (or perhaps just the red component). This area is pretty fuzzy and I wouldn't be surprised if we need to do some work to improve it.

This is represented by one layer (type = polyline). Is there any posibility to force mapserver to add label to each line beetween each 2 points of polyline, or at least repeat label each 50 pixels. This is beacuse water pipes are too long and one label on one line is not enough. Thank you all for your time Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When you query the it will use the template you specify for that layer. Say you do a query like: mode=QUERY&layer=AnyGivenLayer Mapserver is going to look at the map file definition of "AnyGivenLayer" and use the template specified in the layer definition for the display of the returned query information. You can use the same template for multiple layers if they have similar attributes. For instance I have about twent eqpuitment layers in one of my maps but all of them have the same five attribute fields so in the map file I specify the same template for each of those layers. When I use Mapserver in CGI mode I generally have about 75% of the amount of templates as I do layers so for a map of 100 layers I have 75 specific templates.

If I don't want to reload the page every time I request a new map, I can use javascript to re-create - on the fly - only objects that change, for instance "map" (using: img src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map...."), "scalebar" (using: img src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=scalebar....") and "reference" (using: img src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=reference...."). When I use MapServer CGI, some variables (current scale, current extent, ...) are automatically updated by MapServer that substitutes the field name (e.g.: [scale]) in the template. Can I obtain these values from MapServer only using Javascript? I think I cannot calculate these values with Javascript functions because MapServer, when creates a map, modifies the requested extent (and, consequently, the scale) adjusting it on the base of pixel size, right? So... Is there a "mode" in MapServer that outputs, instead of a map/scalebar/reference image, a value (for current scale or current extent)?

However, you can do it by managing all of the extent information on the client side using javascript. The best solution I've found is Steve Lime's mapserv.js. You can check it out in action at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/landview_dhtml.html Check out the page source for the URL to mapserv.js and for an example of how it is used (look for the ms.* javascript variables). It really helps with interface development since you're just swapping images instead of reloading the page so you can maintain alot of info a javascript variables. This solution is also nice since you no longer have to deal with temp images being stored on your hard drive.

This was the result of my nice airplane symbol attempt with Dia, note that it has many duplicate lines... 12 5 12 9 12 7 13 5 13 9 13 7 12 9 7 11 9.5 10 13 9 18 11 15.5 10 7 11 7 12 7 11.5 18 11 18 12 18 11.5 7 12 12 11 9.5 11.5 18 12 13 11 15.5 11.5 12 11 12 13 12 12 13 11 13 13 13 12 12 13 11 14 11.5 13.5 13 13 14 14 13.5 13.5 12.5 14 11 14.5 11.75 14.25 12.5 14 14 14.5 13.25 14.25 11 14.5 11 14 11 14.25 14 14.5 14 14 14 14.25 12 5 12.5 4.5 12.25 4.75 13 5 12.5 4.5 12.75 4.75 Suggestions, please.

I have an Oracle Spatial layer defined in my map file : LAYER NAME PostcodeData GROUP all TYPE POLYGON STATUS ON CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial CONNECTION "user/pwd at db" DATA "GEOM FROM (SELECT B.GEOM, R.RESULTS, B.BASENAME, R.REPORT_ID FROM BASE B, RS_RESULTS_NUMBER R WHERE B.BASEID=R.GEOGID AND R.REPORT_ID = !REPORT_ID!) USING SRID 8192" [more of the "usual" stuff here] END The !REPORT_ID! is a placeholder that I want to replace at runtime with a know value, which I try using a fragment of PHP code like this : $map = ms_newMapObj($map_path."thematic.map"); $dataLayer = $map->getLayerByName("PostcodeData"); echo $dataLayer->data."
"; $data = str_replace("!REPORT_ID!", "19594", $dataLayer->data); echo $data."
"; $dataLayer->data = $data; echo $dataLayer->data."
"; $image=$map->draw(); Although the string replace is working fine and it looks like the assignment to $dataLayer->data is working too, when I make the call to draw() then it fails and throws out the SQL stored in the .map file, not the one I have manipulated on the fly. I have managed to workaround this using the FILTER statement (and corresponding PHP calls) for now but ideally i'd like to prove this can be done at the SQL level as i'm going to be doing more complex alterations to this SQL later on.

Daniele, I used a hidden frame where only the the dynamic content got loaded (map, reference map, extent values, legend, etc) via a template. The hidden frame fired a javascript of the main (interface) frame "on load", which copied the images and values from the hidden frame into the interface frame. Now that frames are more and more disliked you can setup something similar with the use of iframes. You work on iframe documents as if they were documents in another window. See W3C DOM documentation for more info. There is a nice introduction on using iframes to set up a RPC like architecture on " http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/iframe.html " Yes, it is developer.apple.com ... ;-) There is a bit browser sniffing in the sample code which I dislike (browser sniffing is dead), but you get an idea how to handle cross browser issues nowadays at the same forum: http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/objectdetection.html introduces you to object/property/method detection Ehm ... , I not working for Apple.

It is working perfectly now. For the moment it is only one table i want to join to the geometry of the shp-file, so at first sight performance is good, but i will play with the indexes a little. For all who have to use a similar approach here's a mapfile snipplet: LAYER ...

I am using the Jbox features to measure and use the rubber band zoom. The next thing I would like to do is for the the user to be able to search my db and zoom to that area. For example, I have a roads shapefile layer that has street name as on of the db fields. I would like to let the user type in a field on the webpage or even have a drop down list that the user can chooser from and it will take you to my .map file zoomed to that particular street. Can anyone point me in the right direction as how I can do this. Thanks in advance.

Then you want to present the database data as a layer of points based on this lat/lon value. If so then you should write a script to add lat, lon columns to your database and then for every record in the database populate the lat, lon based on the zipcode. If you load the zipcode, lat, lon as a new table you can dothis on the fly with a join. Regardless if I understand what you are asking for, youdon't need to create a shape layer from the zipcode data and even if you did, you would then be able to display the zipcodes as labels at the zipcode points but you would have no way to display the mysql data at the respective points. Hope this makes sense. -Steve Joseph Norris said: > Steve, > > Thanks for this information. I understand this. However here is my > situation. I have a shapefile of California.

Message-ID: Hello Michael, I have a question for you about this approach: when using this kind of join were you able to classify data based on the joined attributes and display this in the map image? I'm asking this because with normal join operation it is not possible to create thematic maps based on the joined attributes. If classifcation works based on this approach the enhancement request I put in bugzilla (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=674) can be closed. I would be very happy if classifying on joined attributes works this way (had no time to test this approach yet). Regards, Emil Zegers Hi Frank, thanks for your answer. It is working perfectly now. For the moment it is only one table i want to join to the geometry of the shp-file, so at first sight performance is good, but i will play with the indexes a little. For all who have to use a similar approach here's a mapfile snipplet: LAYER ...

Where it is explained later, though, turns out to be in the [leg_layer_html] section. This seems to imply that I can control the order of layers within groups, but not the order of groups within the legend.

I'm working on Windows 2000 nad IIS. With mapserver, I have created a basic web application for displaying maps with layer turn on/off and zoom in zoom out functionality. For zoom in/out i have used zoomdir but i'm not sure about the basic difference between using zoomdir and using zoom. In Template reference it is mentioned that zoom dir is used to make the zoom direction persistent. And for me zoomdir is working fine with the only exception is ..if i click on the map, it zoom to that point as a center, but if i select the radio button for zoom in and click refresh button(a asubmit button), then the map starts shifting on the right bottom corner instead of of zooming in into the center of the map. Obviously, I haven't wrote any code to do that and I think thats the reasont that its behaving like that. I didn't write any java script code to handle the click event of the submit button. If anybody knows the reason behind it and what code should i write so that when i click on the refresh button, the map should zoom to the center instead of moving to the right bottom. Another question that i wanted to ask is, how to draw a rectangle to let the user select the area to which he/she wants to zoom. If anyone has already done this, please tell me how to do that.

This type of thematic is produced by an interpolation of point data from the source table. A grid file is generated from the data interpolation and displayed as a raster image in a Map window. I need to create a grid mapping like mapinfo, using mapserver, phpmapscript and postgresql (+ postgis and geos). My source table of points is stored in postgresql. Is it possible???

What makes you think that you need to have a polygon layer with 69 counties reconcile to a point layer 1500+ zipcode points? The are just different layers that should be rendered differently and therefore should be different data files and have different layer definations. I have 50+ layers in most of my mapfiles. This covers different data layers and different rendering styles at different zoom scales, etc. > In addition I took my zip->lat/long file for California and created > shape/dbf files for this file - not sure what I use polygon, point?

Context refresher: MapServer/MapScript 4.2.5, PHP 4.3.8 (cgi), PostgreSQL 7.4.3, PostGIS 0.8.2, Apache 2.0.51, Fedora Core 2 SMP (Dual CPU 2GHz P4). Application posts to PHP file, which does a map->draw() (of shapefile layers), followed by a couple of queryByRect() on non-shown (PostGIS) layers, manual point->draw()s with custom, numbered labels, then a map->save(). I had observed that regularly the PHP processes seem to hang or stall, so somebody on #Mapserver suggested that I compile with debug options and try to obtain a stack trace when this happens. Unfortunately, I've been unable to duplicate the exact situation, but I have seen some similar ones where client requests to the PHP CGIs stack up and time out. In fact, I can force that to happen simply by getting several clients to make a simultaneous request of the server. Today, I forced 7 such simultaneous requests, and every single one of them timed out.

You might also try running the same queries against postgres simultaneously and see if the response bottleneck is there. If it is you might post back the results; if the response is snappy from postgres itself then it would seem the delay might be elsewhere, or in a combination of postgres and mapserver fighting for disk i/o. You might also post some details about the server(s) being used, # of CPUS, OS, disk arrangement etc. Sometimes running top or other diagnostics will help isolate where the problem is. HTH, Greg Williamson DBA GlobeXplorer LLC -----Original Message----- From: Doug [mailto:ummmmm at MYREALBOX.COM] Sent: Tue 11/16/2004 2:02 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Cc: Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Stack trace from timing out PHP MapScript CGI I posted here a couple of weeks ago asking about our CGI PHP MapScript application that appears to quit responding periodically. Context refresher: MapServer/MapScript 4.2.5, PHP 4.3.8 (cgi), PostgreSQL 7.4.3, PostGIS 0.8.2, Apache 2.0.51, Fedora Core 2 SMP (Dual CPU 2GHz P4). Application posts to PHP file, which does a map->draw() (of shapefile layers), followed by a couple of queryByRect() on non-shown (PostGIS) layers, manual point->draw()s with custom, numbered labels, then a map->save(). I had observed that regularly the PHP processes seem to hang or stall, so somebody on #Mapserver suggested that I compile with debug options and try to obtain a stack trace when this happens. Unfortunately, I've been unable to duplicate the exact situation, but I have seen some similar ones where client requests to the PHP CGIs stack up and time out. In fact, I can force that to happen simply by getting several clients to make a simultaneous request of the server. Today, I forced 7 such simultaneous requests, and every single one of them timed out. Normally, when this kind of condition occurs, the MapServer stderr also reports: [Mon Nov 15 21:17:39 2004] [error] [client 32.83.226.185] PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in var/www/html/offender/map.php on line 87 But this didn't happen in my forced test today. i.e. my clients timed out, but the PHP CGIs didn't seem to.

Thomas, All modern GDAL versions (eg. 1.2.0+) include the code for MrSID support. My understanding is that the SDK available for download from Lizardtech is also now free (as in no cost) for decoding. So, if you are on a platform for which they provide the SDK and if you are willing to build stuff yourself from source you can render MrSID images in MapServer.

Ken, Do the binaries in question include INPUT=GDAL? If so, they have GeoTIFF support. Generally we try not to build using the "builtin" TIFF driver since it has so many limitations relative to the GeoTIFF support in GDAL.

Thomas, All modern GDAL versions (eg. 1.2.0+) include the code for MrSID support. My understanding is that the SDK available for download from Lizardtech is also now free (as in no cost) for decoding. So, if you are on a platform for which they provide the SDK and if you are willing to build stuff yourself from source you can render MrSID images in MapServer.

I've another question for you: I have to get geometry of all shapes from a layer with a perl script. Since now I've used queryByRect and two nested loops to get the points like snipplet code below: [...CUT...] $map->prepareQuery(); my $return=$layer->queryByRect($map, $map->{extent}); my $results=$layer->getResults(); if ( $results!=mapscript::MS_FAILURE ){ my $i=1; $layer->open(); while ( $i<$results->{numresults} ){ my $result= $results->getResult($i); my $shape= $layer->getFeature($result->{shapeindex},$result->{tileindex}); for($j=0; $j<$shape->{numlines}; $j++) { my $part = $shape->get($j); for($k=0; $k<$part->{numpoints}; $k++) { my $point = $part->get($k); [...CUT...] With this I have to get data from db many times: the first during queryByRect to build the resultCache, the others to retrieve every single shape. This approach takes about ten second to get 4886 shapes from an Oracle Spatial connection. With a drawQuery it tooks only 2 second to retrieve data and draw image. I look deep into source code to find how to get data one time only and retrieve geometry directly from memory (like draw image code or queryBy...). I found this two function: msLayerWhichShapes and msLayerNextShapes. The first it's what I need to get all shapes, the second could be used to get single shape from memory, but they aren't wrapped on perl mapscript. I try to put it into SWIG wrapped code, but I made some mistake, and now my script doesn't run. However, I think this it's the wrong way. After some day spending time on documentation I'm back to you. Are there any methods to use this two functions? or what's the right method to get all geometry from a single layer? For developer: Do you think it's more simple to wrap the unwrapped functions than spending time coding a new method? I hope you could help me, sorry for my english, Thanks a lot, Ivano Picco From ummmmm at MYREALBOX.COM Wed Nov 17 07:11:32 2004 From: ummmmm at MYREALBOX.COM (Doug) Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 09:11:32 -0600 Subject: Stack trace from timing out PHP MapScript CGI In-Reply-To: <71E37EF6B7DCC1499CEA0316A256832801D4BB14@loki.wc.globexplorer.net> Message-ID: Thanks for the ideas.

For now, I suggest you access your features tables directly using the oracle DBI or use an OGR driver for other data types. I'm willing to help you with developing this new feature. Will you enter a new enhancement issue in the MapServer bugzilla? If you make it under the mapscript-swig component, I will be alerted to it.

That would be the case, for example, if your disk subsystem were the bottleneck. You should definitely find out as much detail as you can about your disk arrangement. A single IDE drive will have a hard time handling a large number of random requests, for example, which seems to be consistent with the symptom you're seeing. There could be other causes, of course, but it's worth looking into this one. You should also know whether those disks are doing OTHER things at the same time, or if they're dedicated to MapServer data serving. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: +1 978 251-4242 Fax: +1 978 251-1396 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Doug Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 10:12 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Stack trace from timing out PHP MapScript CGI Thanks for the ideas. "top" does show 100% CPU use when the requests are being serviced. Don't know if that's normal. Again, this is on Fedora Core 2 with a dual-CPU, 2GHz P4 machine.

Tom, Use the IMAGETYPE keyword in the map object to select the default format. If you don't the first user defined outputformat is used by default. If there are no user defined output formats, the first built-in format will be used. So adding "IMAGETYPE GIF" should do the trick. Of course, I think all web browsers should have built-in GeoTIFF support but I may have a biased point of view.

Here's two DATA strings I use that may be of help. This example is the standard data string I use to draw all features in a table. DATA "the_geom from (select * from bh_tp_p) as foo using unique gid using SRID=2" This one, similar to yours, makes MapServer draw Only the features that pass the test. (In this case, draw only the drill holes that fall within a specific mineral claim) DATA "the_geom from (select * from bh_tp_p where within(bh_tp_p.the_geom,( select the_geom from mineral_tenure_a where mineral_tenure_a.claim='ML-5518' ))=true ) as foo using unique gid using SRID=2" In this case I had to include the ' =true ' term ... draw the features where the 'within' test returns true, a detail that took awhile for me to get right. You may want to simplify your query by using the ' * ' wildcard, the specific fields you need will still be in the recordset returned. Or, maybe there's a conflict where you define the alias ' place.gid AS gid ' but carry on to use the terms ' place.gid ' instead of its alias. Or maybe there's a conflict by testing ' WHERE place.gid=9 ', and then using the term ' USING UNIQUE place.gid ' instead of using the term ' USING UNIQUE gid ' Anyways, there's a couple ideas for you, good luck!

I checked and I think we have a single SCSI (/dev/sda) disk in use at this time. Looks like there are two disks on the system, but I don't think the second one is allocated at all. There really shouldn't be any other significant activity on the system other than the MapServer HTTP requests (and the subsequent HTTP requests for the generated map images). In addition to this PHP MapScript application, we do have two other "mapserv"-only applications using this same MapServer, one of which shares some of the same shapefiles. But that's pretty much all this machine is doing. Doug Ed McNierney wrote: > Doug - > > Having "top" not show 100% CPU use is "normal" if the CPU is NOT the problem. That would be the case, for example, if your disk subsystem were the bottleneck. You should definitely find out as much detail as you can about your disk arrangement. A single IDE drive will have a hard time handling a large number of random requests, for example, which seems to be consistent with the symptom you're seeing.

Don't know if that's normal. Again, this is on Fedora Core 2 with a dual-CPU, 2GHz P4 machine. I'm not sure of the disk arrangement, but I can find that out.

You might also try running the same queries against postgres simultaneously and see if the response bottleneck is there. If it is you might post back the results; if the response is snappy from postgres itself then it would seem the delay might be elsewhere, or in a combination of postgres and mapserver fighting for disk i/o. >> >>You might also post some details about the server(s) being used, # of CPUS, OS, disk arrangement etc. Sometimes running top or other diagnostics will help isolate where the problem is. >> >>HTH, >> >>Greg Williamson >>DBA >>GlobeXplorer LLC >> >> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Doug [mailto:ummmmm at MYREALBOX.COM] >>Sent: Tue 11/16/2004 2:02 PM >>To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU >>Cc: >>Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Stack trace from timing out PHP MapScript CGI >>I posted here a couple of weeks ago asking about our CGI PHP MapScript >>application that appears to quit responding periodically. >>>=&X=30762F284AB96B2313&P=50619> >>Context refresher: >> >>MapServer/MapScript 4.2.5, PHP 4.3.8 (cgi), PostgreSQL 7.4.3, PostGIS >>0.8.2, Apache 2.0.51, Fedora Core 2 SMP (Dual CPU 2GHz P4). >> >>Application posts to PHP file, which does a map->draw() (of shapefile >>layers), followed by a couple of queryByRect() on non-shown (PostGIS) >>layers, manual >>point->draw()s with custom, numbered labels, then a map->save().. >> >>I had observed that regularly the PHP processes seem to hang or stall, >>so somebody on #Mapserver suggested that I compile with debug options >>and try to obtain a stack trace when this happens. >> >>Unfortunately, I've been unable to duplicate the exact situation, but >>I have seen some similar ones where client requests to the PHP CGIs >>stackup and time out.

I'm using Python Mapscript 4.4.0_beta2 on Windows XP and saving query files using map.saveQuery(). I subsequently manipulate the saved query file. When I read the shape, tile and class index values using struct.unpack, the only format that seems to work is "iib0i", which means two integers and a signed char aligned at the end to the requirements of three integers, I think. The issue is the class index value. Using "iii" or any other 12 byte format gives me bad class index values. The byte order is not declared in my format string, so it defaults to native byte order, size and alignment. Any declaration of byte order doesn't work with this format. Here's the snippet that reads the indexes: ... for r in range(nr): tup = struct.unpack("iib0i",f.read(struct.calcsize("iib0i"))) print str(tup[0]) + "," + str(tup[1]) + "," + str(tup[2]) ... Can anyone tell me why I can't just use "iii"? I can write query files using struct.pack("iii",... and mapserver will load them without a problem. Am I doing something wrong or is there something a little freaky in how mapserver writes class indexes out to file?

Your template file can 'request' any number of things from mapserv by way of replacable variables (the stuff inside the [] braces) e.g. a map image, a scale bar image, a new map extent calculated from the request, a scale ratio, etc. Images are written to the server's hard disk, calculations like new map extents or scale are inserted into the template HTML file, replacing the [stuff]. mode=map is a different, and unique, mode. It returns a map image only. The image is not written to your server's hard disk. If you need a calculation of a new map extent or scale, you either need to do it yourself (with client side javascript, or server side mapscript) or you could make a second request to CGI mapserv using mode=browser&map=off and appropriate template to retreive the newly calculated extents. (Probably not a recommended method because you're making 2 requests to render on page).

I would like to add the "mouseover balloon" function that the imagemap can replicate to a form where my map is used also for user input (with the standard zoom/pan/identify functions). I read that the tags may include a usemap=... parameter to make reference to a client-side imagemap; however the use of the imagemap with the input tag is reported to be 'poorly supported' by browsers in the docs I have, and -in fact- the imagemap is ignored in my application. Is it possible to combine the map used for zoom/pan/identify input with the imagemap using some other approach ? alternatively, hints to any other approach to have the 'mouseover balloon' would be appreciated.

Merlijn, I think you are running into an unfortunate interaction of limitations. The MapServer query architecture uses a two pass method. First it reads the shapes and identifies which ones meet the criteria for the query. Then to do something with the query results they are fetched one at a time by their ids. However, if the OGR OCI driver cannot identify a column that it considers to be a unique FID it finds it very hard to fetch features by FID. In particular, it will assign sequential FIDs and if you fetch a feature by FID it essentially has to read the whole resultset counting its way through to the desired feature. This exhibits a quadratic performance in the number of features in the set. That is, operating on twice as many shapes will take 4 times as long. Do your records have a unique (ie. primary key) column that could be used as FID? If it is indexed then OGR can fetch individual records much faster, but you would still need a way to tell OGR what field to use. Currently it will automatically use a field called OGR_FID as the FID if it is found, and if you use OGR to load data into Oracle it creates such a column. In GDAL 1.2.4 and later you can set the OCI_FID configuration option with the name of a column that should be used as the FID. This can be set externally as an environment variables, or within a map file in a CONFIG line. However, I am not absolutely certain that fast feature fetching is possible on the results of a custom query in the DATA statement. In fact, scanning the code I see that the case of user supplied SELECT statements does not include support for the OCI_FID environment variable. This is a bug that can be corrected if you need, but even then you would need to include the target FID field in your select statement. Something like. ... in the MAP section of the map file ... CONFIG "OCI_FID" "ID" ... in layer definition ... CONNECTIONTYPE ogr CONNECTION "oci: a/b at c" DATA "SELECT GEOM, LOCATIE_ID, ID FROM LOCATIE where LOCATIESOORT_ID = 10" Let me know if you would like to pursue this approach, and would like me to fix OGR's OCI driver so that it honours the OCI_FID config option.

Eduin, Advantages of using OGR for shapefile access: o OGR is slower than built-in Shapefile support because of many extra layers of abstraction and conversion. o OGR is slower because it doesn't currently support use of spatial indexes for shapefiles while the built-in mapserver shapefile support does.

I am not sure how OGR joining compares to the built-in mapserver joins that work for shapefiles. Basically, except for rare circumstances you are better off using the built-in shapefile support instead of accessing through OGR.

It is the most clear answer. I'm thinking to support joined shapes tables and OGR connection format for the next release of Gix Export Tool.

I'm not sure if the command lines you sent were chronological, but if so, the first three integers of a query file are the number of layers in the query file, the index of the first one, and the number of records saved in the first one.

You have: codebase="java\jBox" archive="jBoxPNG.jar,png.jar" The way you have codebase, the 'java' directory will not be found. I assume that 'mapserver' is an IIS virtual directory, so try: 'codebase=/mapserver/java/jbox' Forward slashes, not back slashes, as this is a URI, not a DOS path. I'm a little unclear on the specification of two jar files in the archive parameter. Is that legal? Where'd you come up with that? And you have the .jar files in /mapserver/java/jbox/ not a subdirectory, right? You might want to start with GIFs and the standard jBox, rather than jBoxPNG which requries the sixlegs library. If you're using the Sun Java VM, you don't need six-legs anyway. I am cc'ing the mapserver-users list as others may spot something that I missed.

Ken, MapServer will append the path found in the tileindex to the SHAPEPATH. If that doesn't work it will try doing it relative to the map and finally just using the path in the tileindex literally. If the path in the tileindex is absolute it will also be used directly. ... I think ...

So you can indirectly control the order of groups by controlling the order of occurence of the layers from each group. If you only care about group ordering then it should be enough to assign the same order metadata value to all layers in a given group, i.e. set it to 1 for all layers in group 1, set to 2 for all layers in group 2, etc. If the order of layers within groups also matters then you can assign layer order metadata in the range 100-199 for layers in group 1, 200-299 for layers in group 2, etc. I hope I'm not misleading you... once again, it was quite a while ago since I played with that.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hello List, my problem is not yet solved, though I tried a lot since my last post... First of all I enabled debugging in my mapserver-compilation (btw. it's 4.4-beta2) and when I tried to define: DATA "GEOMETRY FROM mydata FEATURE, mydata_bin GEOMETRY" I got a long error-message that told me, I should only do DATA "geometry_column from spatial_table" (that would be "GEOMETRY_WKB from mydata_bin" in my case). But when I use the above statement in DATA, it seems as if the statement is not even fired in mysql. The connect is the only thing I can see in my mysql-logfile and the mapserver does not produce any error messages... Is there really nobody out there, who could help?? Cheers, Bjoern.

In my database I have about ten different tables with spatial data. The PK fields have a different name in every table. As the OCI_FID CONFIG parameter is the same for all tables I probably better add an OGR_FID field to the necessary tables. To test if a unique indexed OGR_FID column improves performance I added this column to my table and also changed my DATA parameter to: DATA "SELECT OGR_FID, GEOM, LOCATIE_ID from LOCATIE where LOCATIESOORT_ID = 10" (I was wondering if "SELECT LOCATIE_ID as OGR_FID..." could also work) I didn't notice any differencin performance. I also tried: DATA "SELECT OGR_FID, GEOM, LOCATIE_ID from LOCATIE" Without the where clause it's very slow as well. Am I not using the right DATA parameter to let it use my OGR_FID field?

The default units in PROJ.4 is meters, but you need US feet. Try adding a "units=us-ft" in your PROJECTION declaration for the layer. There is also some slight chance you will need to alter the x_0 parameter by multiplying (or dividing) by the meter/feet conversion ratio, but I doubt that will be needed.

You're not telling MapServer that your input projection units are feet, rather than the default value of meters. Therefore, the coordinates are being read as if they were meters, moving them 3x further from the projection origin in X and Y. That's what the UNITS field in the PRJ file is telling you - what to multiply the coordinate values by to convert them to meters. You need to add: to_meter=0.3048006096012192 in your projection definition block. You don't need the a= and rf= lines and I suggest you remove them; ellps=GRS80 specifies the ellipsoid completely. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Shanton, James A Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 9:13 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Trouble with Projection - LCC I'm trying to plot a property parcel shp file, and it keeps plotting in Pennsylvania instead of North Carolina.

The server is running Win2K, with Apache 1.3.33, PHP 4.3.9 and I've installed the Mapserver win32 binaries version 4.2 . I've downloaded and installed the Mapserver Itasca application. It runs fine, so at least I did something right. But when I select the 'adds dhtml rubber band box' and click initialize, the map comes up red, with an image not found icon in the corner. After I zoom some 6 or 7 times, part of the map shows up. I can reproduce this. I've been fooling around with it, and it almost looks like it is somehow limited by the amount of data it's supposed to display. For instance, if I'm zoomed in to a certain scale that I see the map, if I then add layers to be displayed, it comes up red again. If I select the raster file the map does not show up at all, no matter how far I zoom in. Again, in the other modes, all works perfectly, even if I have all layers selected. Any ideas on this issue would be much appreciated. Also, this is all new to me, and I have yet to learn the basic structure of map files, web templates and how they work together. However the ultimate goal is to publish some 80 aerial photography ECW's . Is there maybe a simple map file / web template combination that takes one ECW and displays it ? I could then work and learn from that.

Merlijn, In fact, on reflection, I don't think OGR's OCI driver (nor any other driver for that matter) can do fast feature fetches from a user defined SQL operation. You could just use the table directly instead of providing your own SQL statement, and do the "winnowing" of results with normal MapServer mechanism (an EXPRESSION in a CLASS?). The downside of this is that all the records will be read the first time through, but the subsequent feature fetch should be fast. Generally speaking, when you use user defined SQL with OGR, you lose all benefits of it's own spatial searching and feature id based fetches. It is much better to "direct" table access letting OGR manage some of these things. But currently there is no mechanism via MapServer to pass off an attribute query when doing direct table access. What I really ought to do is change the MapServer OGR binding so that you can say " WHERE " in the DATA statement and have this be interpreted as direct table access, applying the requested query. This is really the case that OGR is optimized for. But currently there is no way to accomplish this. In fact, I could hack this in quite easily with a PROCESSING statement that could hold the spatial query. I wonder if Daniel would blow a gasket if I hacked that in today before beta3 is snapped! I would also echo the other response you got mentioning that the direct Oracle Spatial support in MapServer now apparently has query support. If that can do the job for you, it is likely to be faster than even an optimized OGR implementation.

Dan, I'm sure that Sean can address this better from the mapscript point of view. But my belief is that the --with-threads just enables use of exclusion locks around a bunch of services in the libmap core. In particular, it ensures that only one thread at a time can be using the error stack, GDAL, PROJ.4, the parser and freetype at once. The application is also responsible for ensuring that only one thread at a time manipulates a map. That is, it is intended to make it possible to have different threads each rendering their own maps not for several threads to operate on a single mapObj.

The default units in PROJ.4 is meters, but you need US feet. Try adding a "units=us-ft" in your PROJECTION declaration for the layer. There is also some slight chance you will need to alter the x_0 parameter by multiplying (or dividing) by the meter/feet conversion ratio, but I doubt that will be needed.

This is cofirmed by the clearly temporary name you've given the map file when I visited your link below: /tmp/file6XWjI2.map. So why are you using mode=browse? mode=map is what you need.

MapServer as an html source Message-ID: I use mapserver to generate thumbnail images in query result pages, using mapserver as the source for an html tag. This has worked fine in MapServer 3.6 CGI without errors. I've used variables passed in the URL to layers with filteritems to have the queried features shown alone with background layers, used URL parameters to modify the map file dynamicaly to embed and resize the scalebar, and added a cross hair to center of the image using the map_webuser.. URL parameters. I'm now trying to do the same with MapServer 4.2.0 CGI. using the same polygon dataset as I was using in 3.6. It is not working consistantly. It will work generating an image for some polygons, fail - not returning an image when other polygons in the same layer are queried, and work for other polygons in the same layer if you click in just the right place within them. For all these queries, all the other attributes queried are being returned correctly in my template. Restarting the server had the effect of shuffling the polygons that would and wouldnt work. I have simplified the image source string down to only the problem layer, with no filtering, and only the parameters necessary to create the image. Simplified, the img tag looks like this: The mapext gets filled in by javascript. If I change it so that it displays some other background layer, but not the layer being queried, the image returns properly everytime. The layer within the mapfile looks like this: LAYER NAME Forest_Fires_1965-2003 TYPE POLYGON STATUS ON DATA "nt_FFIRES_a" HEADER "results/Forest_Fires_1965-2003_header.html" TEMPLATE "results/Forest_Fires_1965-2003_results.html" TOLERANCE 2 TOLERANCEUNITS pixels PROJECTION "init=EPSG:26910" END CLASS NAME "Forest Fire Areas" STYLE COLOR 200 110 110 END STYLE OUTLINECOLOR 100 100 100 END END END I can't figure out why it works sometimes ... instead of always or never. It is the identical dataset that works everytime for the same use with mapserver 3.6. The shapefile is about 9mb of very irregular polygons. Is this a new bug? has it already been fixed in 4.4?

After reading again the mapserver documentation, I still have some doubts concerning the setup of a wms server. OUTPUTFORMAT I'm only providing two OUTPUTFORMATs in my map file, however, the capabilities file specifies much more outputs (I think all the formats supported by my mapserver). If it understands the supported OUTPUTFORMATs why do we need to include them in the map file? Is there any way of limiting the OUTPUTFORMATs to the ones I want instead of the ones supported by mapserver? PROJECTION I am still a bit confused with the PROJECTION object. I suppose that by declaring a PROJECTION object on the map file I am defining the supported output projections of the server and by declaring the projection inside each layer I am defining the original current projection of the data. Is that correct? I also suppose that any user could ask for any projection supported by mapserver in order to receive an on the fly projected map (even without any PROJECTION object included on the map file). So, is the PROJECTION object simply a definition of the mapserver supported output projections? By not declaring any PROJECTION object are we restraining the available ouput projections? TRANSPARENCY At the moment, the transparency of each layer of my wms is on and defined with OFFSITE. I would like to turn TRANSPARENCY on or off accordingly to the html wms user request. How can I do this? And a last question... Does Mapserver support HTTP/POST methods?

You can specify whatever output you want by setting the "SRS" parameter in your WMS query. As long as PROJ.4 supports your output CRS, then you should be fine. HTTP POST: Mapserver does support this. I think you have to send it as an XML request. I have done this and it works fine. The DTD is in the WMS spec. It would be nice if there was a SOAP interface to WMS.

I assume that 'mapserver' is an IIS virtual directory, so try: 'codebase=/mapserver/java/jbox' Forward slashes, not back slashes, as this is a URI, not a DOS path. I'm a little unclear on the specification of two jar files in the archive parameter. Is that legal? Where'd you come up with that? And you have the .jar files in /mapserver/java/jbox/ not a subdirectory, right? You might want to start with GIFs and the standard jBox, rather than jBoxPNG which requries the sixlegs library.

WFS-G is not currently implemented in MapServer. A couple of issues: 1./ The WFS-G Discussion Paper takes on a specific data model which would require hierarchical relationships in the data being served ("broader than", etc.) of placenames. You can use the existing MapServer as an "basic" OGC:WFS. 2./ The schemas prescribed by WFS-G are not implemented in MapServer. That is, MapServer outputs a 'default' GML model when responding to DescribeFeatureType and GetFeature. Even if they were implemented, issue #1 is still a requirement.

Where can I find > more info on it? Nuno, What part don't you understand? The BANDS directive takes a list of band number as arguments. If you supply only a single band number it will be treated as a single greyscale band. If you support 3 they will be treated as an RGB composite. I suspect your problem is that you have the bands in seperate files. MapServer provides no mechanism to merge different files on the file into an RGB composite with red, green and blue coming from different sources. The obvious option is to build a multispectral file from your input files and then serve from that. You can use the gdal_merge.py script with the -separate switch to build a composite from a bunch of single band files. Another alternative is to build a GDAL "virtual file" that will virtually stack all the individual files into one multispectral virtual file without having to actually copy data. Then MapServer can use the virtual file for composites. I hope this helps.

Unless major issues are reported, this should be the last beta before the final 4.4.0 release in the next week or two. As usual, the source is available on the MapServer website: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html and Windows binaries should be available in the next day or so as well at the usual locations: The MapServer / PHP MapScript package on maptools.org: http://maptools.org/php_mapscript/index.phtml?page=downloads.html Howard Butler's win32 binaries at: http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/beta_4_4_0 Finally, I have copied below the complete list of fixes/changes since beta2. Best Regards, Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette dmorissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Version 4.4.0-beta3 (2004-11-22) -------------------------------- - Added tests to mimimize the threat of recursion problems when evaluating LAYER REQUIRES or LABELREQUIRES expressions. Note that via MapScript it is possible to circumvent that test by defining layers with problems after running prepareImage. Other things crop up in that case too (symbol scaling dies) so it should be considered bad programming practice.(bug 1059) - Added --with-sderaster configure option. - Make sure that msDrawWMSLayerLow calls msDrawLayer instead of msDrawRasterLayerLow directly ensuring that some logic (transparency) that are in msDrawLayer are applied (Bug 541). - Force GD/JPEG outputFormatObjects to IMAGEMODE RGB and TRANSPARENT OFF if they are RGBA or ON. Makes user error such as in bug 1703 less likely. - Advertize only gd and gdal formats for wms capabilities (Bug 455). - Pass config option GML_FIELDTYPES=ALWAYS_STRING to OGR so that all GML attributes are returned as strings to MapServer. This is most efficient and prevents problems with autodetection of some attribute types. (bug1043) - msOGCWKT2ProjectionObj() now uses the OGRSpatialReference::SetFromUserInput() method. This allows various convenient setting options, including the ability to handle ESRI WKT by prefixing the WKT string with "ESRI::". - Fixed GetLegendGraphic in WMS Capabilities that were missing the '?' or '&' separator if it was not included in wms_onlineresource (bug 1065) - Updated WMS/WFS client and server code to lookup "ows_*" metadata names in addition to the default "wms_*" (or "wfs_*") metadatas (WCS was already implemented this way). This reduces the amount of duplication in mapfiles that support multiple OGC interfaces since "ows_*" metadata can be used almost everywhere for common metadata items shared by multiple OGC interfaces. (bug 568) - Added ows_service_onlineresource metadata for WMS/WFS to distinguish between service and GetMap/Capabilities onlineresources (bug 375) - Added map->setSize() to PHP MapScript (bug 1066) - Re-enabled building PHP MapScript using PHP's bundled regex/*.o. This is needed to build in an environment with PHP configured as an Apache DSO (bugs 990, 520) - Fixed problem with raster dither support on windows (related to ascii encoding pointers). (bug 722) - Moved PHP/SWIG MapScript layer->getExtent() logic down to msLayerGetExtent() to avoid code duplication (bug 1051) - Added SDE Raster drawing support (experimental). - HTML legends: Added [leg_header_html] and [leg_footer_html] (bug 1032) - Added "z" support in SWIG MapScript for pointObj (bug 871) - In PHP Mpascript when using ms_newrectobj, the members minx, miny, maxx, maxy are initialized to -1 (Bug 788). - Write out proper world file with remote WMS result, it was off by half a pixel. (Bug 1050). - Send a warning in the wms capabilities if the layer status is set to default (Bug 638). - Fixed PHP MapScript compile warnings: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules (bug 1053) - Added $layer->isVisible() to PHP MapScript (bug 539) - Ported $layer->getExtent() to PHP MapScript (bug 826) - wms_group_abstract can now be used in the capabilities (Bug 754) - If wms_stylelist is an empty string, do not output the tag for MapContexts (Bug 595). - Avoid passing FILE* to GD library by utilizing GD's gdIOCtx interface (bug 1047). - Output warning in wms/wfs capabilities document if layer,group,map names have space in them (bug 486, bug 646). - maporaclespatial.c: fixed declarations problems (bug 1044). - Allow use of msOWSPrintURLType with no metadata. In this case the default parameters will be used (bug 1001). - Ensure the outputFormatObj attached to msImageLoadGDStream() results reflect the interlacedness of the loaded image. Also ensure that the RGB PNG reference images work (make imagemode match gdImg) (bug 1039). - Fixed support for non-square pixels in WCS (bug 1014). - Expose only GD formats for GetLegendGraphic in the capabilities (bug 1001). - Check for supported formats when process a GetLegendGraphic request (bug 1030). - mapraster.c: fixed problem with leaks in tileindexed case where the tile index is missing (bug 713). - Oracle Spatial: implemented connection pool support for Oracle Spatial. New layer data parameters to support query functions, added "using unique ". Added "FILTER", "RELATE" and "GEOMRELATE" parameters, now permit users to choose the Oracle Spatial Filter. Modified the internal SQL to always apply FILTER function. And improve the Oracle Spatial performance. - Centralize "stdout binary mode setting" for win32 in msIO_needBinaryStdout(). Use it when writing GDAL files to stdout in mapgdal.c. Fixes problems with output of binary files from GDAL outputformat drivers on win32 via WMS/WCS. - MapServer now provides one default style named (default), title and LegendURL when generating capabilities. Added also the possibility to use the keyword default for STYLES parameter when doing a GetMap (..&STYLES=default,defeault,...) (bug 1001). - Add xlink:type="simple" in WMS MetadataURL (bug 1027).

So, I'm not sure whether the java applet is > being called and executed or not. Again, I think you are confusing HTTP addresses with file system addresses. In your .map file you should have something like: IMAGEPATH c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/Docs/tmp/ # this is the file system directory where mapserver puts the images, # it should also be an IIS virtual directory IMAGEURL /tmp/ # this is the HTTP address that the client browser reads from. I may not have those exactly right because I am guessing at your directory structure. But when set correctly should look something like this after being parced by mapserv.exe: You should be able to put the replaced values from [host][img] into your browser's address bar an see the image. If you can't do that, then you have an error in your .map file and/or your virtual directory assignments in IIS. If you can't fetch the image in this way, then there is no way that jBox will be able to get it either.

If so how or >would be the best way to handle this? You can do this in the map file by creating two layers and using MAXSCALE, MINSCALE. Layer 1 has one ellipse per zip wherever there are 1-10 teachers. MINSCALE is set so that it won't appear when you are zoomed in. Layer 2 has one ellipse for each teacher and has MAXSCALE set so that it turns on when Layer 1 is turned off. Of course if you are using Perl Mapscript you will need to calculate the scale yourself and turn on and off the layers yourself. Here's and example: my $current_scale = calculateScale($map, $imgext[0], $imgext[2]); # From mapserver3.6.4: mapscale.c msCalculateScale(). This is not a precision thing. We don't worry about # msAdjustExtent() since in all our maps, image SIZE has same aspect ratio as the map EXTENT. # $minx and $maxx are optional in which case the current extent of the map is used. # Be careful about the current map's extent. zoomMap() changes the extents. sub calculateScale{ my ($map, $minx, $maxx) = @_; if(!$minx){ $minx = $map->{extent}->{minx}; $maxx = $map->{extent}->{maxx}; } my @inchesPerUnit = (1, 12, 63360.0, 39.3701, 39370.1, 4374754); my $width = $map->{width}; my $units = $map->{units}; # index into unitsPerUnit array my $resolution = $map->{resolution}; my $md = $width / ($resolution * $inchesPerUnit[$units]); my $gd = $maxx - $minx; return($gd/$md); } Eric From sirronj at PACBELL.NET Mon Nov 22 09:53:28 2004 From: sirronj at PACBELL.NET (Joseph Norris) Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 09:53:28 -0800 Subject: ok - got zoom to work - another question In-Reply-To: <41A2268A.7020607@swoodbridge.com> Message-ID: Steve, Right now it looks like I am getting the whole polygon covered with ellipses or I am not doing the ellipse correctly.

What you might want to do is make the ellipse a hot spot and do some javascript onRollover to pop up a box with the names in it. Or to place the number of teachers on a single ellipse, or to list all the teacher names in a single ellipse. These would need to be done in mapscript some way. but I don't think you will be able to get mapserver to do it automatically for you. -Steve W.

So layers=A,B means it wants layer A and B displayed. Only exception is STATUS DEFAULT, which will always be on (for instance for copyright annotation). In 4.4 a warning is generated in the capabilities for this behaviour, to make sure the person who is setting up the WMS knows for sure what he/she is doing when using STATUS DEFAULT.

The original name for the lib was "OpenGIS Simple Features Reference Implementation" and that's where OGR comes from.

Nuno, I do not believe there is a way of limiting the available formats, though Assefa has added logic for the 4.4b3 release so that non raster formats (like html, swf) are not listed in WMS capabilities. There is discussion of providing an explicit way of controlling the exposed formats but it would not be done by 4.4 release. BTW, it can still be useful to define custom outputformats even for formats that have a define output format definition. The custom versions can use different options for transparency, render mode (ie. RGB vs. RGBA), interlacing and so forth. > PROJECTION > I am still a bit confused with the PROJECTION object. > I suppose that by declaring a PROJECTION object on the > map file I am defining the supported output > projections of the server and by declaring the > projection inside each layer I am defining the > original current projection of the data.

I believe the "map" projection is not used in WMS, unless it is a default when no SRS parameter is given. > TRANSPARENCY > At the moment, the transparency of each layer of my > wms is on and defined with OFFSITE. I would like to > turn TRANSPARENCY on or off accordingly to the html > wms user request. How can I do this? I don't really follow this. Note that the TRANSPARENCY flag for layer affects how it is overlayed on previous layers and is, I believe, a blending value from 0 to 100, not an off/on flag like the transparency flag passed in the WMS request.

So when I want double quotes in a string I quote with single quotes. "wms_abstract" 'this is my "abstract"' I don't know what I would do if I needed both single and double quotes in a string. It seems like backslash escape, or at least some mechanism, should be enabled.

So: 1) is there sites that implement mapserver as servlet in tomcat that I can view? 2) Some one have a piece of basic code that I can compile as servlet in tomcat for view how it run? I have load the java Howto. Do you have examples so I can see how can I work with mapserver functions and servlets? I have been seeing the wiki, but I can not really find what I want. I have done the example of loading a library that apears in: http://www.unicolet.org/mapserver/tomcat.html and it works, but when I want to complete the JavaMapscript.java code with other mapserver comands, it doesn't work: import edu.umn.gis.mapscript.*; public class JavaMapscript { private static JavaMapscript instance=null; private JavaMapscript() { try { System.loadLibrary("mapscript"); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); System.err.println("* error loading native library *"); System.err.println("Error is: "+e); } System.out.println(" * mapscript native library loaded *"); mapObj map = new mapObj("test.map"); imageObj img = map.draw(); //img.save("result", map);*/ } public static JavaMapscript getInstance() { System.out.println("Try to instantiate Mapscript"); System.out.flush(); if ( instance == null ) { instance = new JavaMapscript(); } return instance; } } And even worse, when I do any modifications and I put the new .class file in the server, I have an error because it says that the library was already loaded, and my only solution now to solve it is to turn off the server and turn it on again.

First of all, am I mistaken in thinking that if you use MapScript you must re-implement most of the functionality of the mapserv cgi program that comes with the mapserver package? Or is there a way to reuse some of that functionality? Specifically, I'm interested in getting the templates parsed with the variable strings (ie [variable_name]) replaced. It wouldn't be difficult to re-implement this in Perl, but it seems such a useful and common thing, that I wonder if the API already offers this functionality or if there's already a package that does it. I've looked at the API documentation but didn't find anything that looked hopeful.

We are really interested in try with "mapserver-swf" as it provides us some usefull way to work with and our workers will be happy if we resolve our needs through "mapserver-swf". Our mapserver-html interface is quite nice, but when we showed our smalls progress in mapserver-swf, the mapserver-html option decrease in relevance. I know that we are only one user, but we will need help on this... so much help I think as they are not going to give us any kind of "flash curse" :-/, as usual Any way... we will try. In fact we have one big problem not resolve yet, we work with "air photos", high quality. But we cannot show them with "swfoutput"(the quality is very poor) so we have will calculate the next scale that the user has selected and change the output format to "jpgoutput". I asked it before, I think. Resuming, we will try with a full-time mapserver-swf attempt in the next two weeks.

I also ran into problems stopping the service. I then did some digging and from what I've read Apache's use as a 'service' is extremely experimental in Windows 95/98 (http://www.phpfreaks.com/apache_manual/page/win_service.html#win95svc). I therefore have no easy solution for you. To get around this I would make a shortcut to apache.exe on my desktop and manually run it each time...sorry I don't have an easier solution.

If so how or >would be the best way to handle this? You can do this in the map file by creating two layers and using MAXSCALE, MINSCALE. Layer 1 has one ellipse per zip wherever there are 1-10 teachers. MINSCALE is set so that it won't appear when you are zoomed in. Layer 2 has one ellipse for each teacher and has MAXSCALE set so that it turns on when Layer 1 is turned off. Of course if you are using Perl Mapscript you will need to calculate the scale yourself and turn on and off the layers yourself. Here's and example: my $current_scale = calculateScale($map, $imgext[0], $imgext[2]); # From mapserver3.6.4: mapscale.c msCalculateScale(). This is not a precision thing. We don't worry about # msAdjustExtent() since in all our maps, image SIZE has same aspect ratio as the map EXTENT. # $minx and $maxx are optional in which case the current extent of the map is used. # Be careful about the current map's extent. zoomMap() changes the extents. sub calculateScale{ my ($map, $minx, $maxx) = @_; if(!$minx){ $minx = $map->{extent}->{minx}; $maxx = $map->{extent}->{maxx}; } my @inchesPerUnit = (1, 12, 63360.0, 39.3701, 39370.1, 4374754); my $width = $map->{width}; my $units = $map->{units}; # index into unitsPerUnit array my $resolution = $map->{resolution}; my $md = $width / ($resolution * $inchesPerUnit[$units]); my $gd = $maxx - $minx; return($gd/$md); } Eric From kenlord at GMAIL.COM Tue Nov 23 15:22:06 2004 From: kenlord at GMAIL.COM (Ken Lord) Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 15:22:06 -0800 Subject: Postgis point table In-Reply-To: <41A31B37.80203@cerene.fr> Message-ID: If the data is not being dynamically generated/updated, I would suggest that rather than converting the points on the fly every time you view them, adding overhead to every transaction, that you try the following ...

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MapServer CGI will not hide individual classes based on map scale in the way that you are hoping to do. The way I have attacked this is to place the scale range at which the class is visible within the name of the class, so that the name of the class and its viewable scale range is listed in the legend. hypothetical example of names given to classes in a layer that displays highways/roads/trails at different scales: Highway < 1:50,000 Local Roads < 1:20,000 Trails < 1:5,000 Cheers, Ken Lord Vancouver BC On Tue, 23 Nov 2004 11:08:24 -0600, Daniele Margotti wrote: > Hi, > I have another question about the legend... > > How can I tell CGI Mapserver to create a legend containing ONLY classes > that are visible in the current map? > > Now I get a legend that contains ALL classes of the selected layer, even > if I have zoomed to a very close scale (and I view only one class in the > map). > > Can you help me? > Is it possible? > > Thank you, > Daniele > From assefa at DMSOLUTIONS.CA Tue Nov 23 16:10:07 2004 From: assefa at DMSOLUTIONS.CA (Yewondwossen Assefa) Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 19:10:07 -0500 Subject: SLD filter with raster layers In-Reply-To: <4199DD57.4080203@aris.nl> Message-ID: Sorry for the late answer. I just check the problem and entered a Bug 1087 on it. There was effectivly a problem when a Filter was present in the sld. I corrected this in the Mapserver CVS so the the filter is ignored in this case. The way SLD Filter is implemented internally is that the Filter is converted in a query (or a series of Queries) and the resulting shapes of the query are returned using the drawquery functionnality of Mapserver. This does not direclty apply to raster layers. The way I see it, the only Filter that make sense for Raster layers is a BBOX Filter which can be used to modify the extents of the drawing area. This can also be acheived through the BBOX parameter of the WMS request. Do you think that the WMS BBOX parameter is enough or do you see other use for spaitial filters for rasters layers ?

External libraries can only be loaded once into Tomcat. One work-around would be to create an extra webapp that loads the mapscript library and never gets reloaded.

But by using two layers you can control what exactly is displayed via different CLASS and EXPRESSION's at different scales. The scale is determined by the current map's extents, (AFTER any zooming in which you calculated new extents based on the zoom direction. (Actually this call: my $current_scale = calculateScale($map, $imgext[0], $imgext[2]); gets the scale of the map which was just submitted, based on: @imgext = split(' ', $q->param('imgext')); where imgext is the extent just submitted with the form.) Typically you'd want to call $scale = calculateScale($map) (after your zoom calculations have changed the map's extents. What MIXSCALE, MAXSCALE to use in your map file must be determined by trail and error. HTH.

External libraries can only be loaded once into Tomcat. One work-around would be to create an extra webapp that loads the mapscript library and never gets reloaded.

Since last 3 days I'm trying to make the jBox applet work with the Itasca workshop demo, but can't figure out whats goin wrong with it. One thing which I found is, before I had placed the java/jBox directory under my webroot, but in the documentation I found that I should put it under the web document tree, for me which is: c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/Docs/tmp So I added the java/jBox directory under my web document tree. But still I can't see the map image while they are being created under Docs/tmp directory. When I click the initialize button on "index.html" with the "basic application" option selected, I can see the legend, scalebar, reference map. When I click on zoom in radio button and try to draw a rectangle on the map (which I don't see, just the gray area) and then if I click refresh button, I can see that the reference map changes, it shows red box on it. And here is what I get in the url: ***************************** 1.

So, I'm not sure whether the java applet is > being called and executed or not. Again, I think you are confusing HTTP addresses with file system addresses. In your .map file you should have something like: IMAGEPATH c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/Docs/tmp/ # this is the file system directory where mapserver puts the images, # it should also be an IIS virtual directory IMAGEURL /tmp/ # this is the HTTP address that the client browser reads from. I may not have those exactly right because I am guessing at your directory structure. But when set correctly should look something like this after being parced by mapserv.exe: You should be able to put the replaced values from [host][img] into your browser's address bar an see the image. If you can't do that, then you have an error in your .map file and/or your virtual directory assignments in IIS. If you can't fetch the image in this way, then there is no way that jBox will be able to get it either.

This next release coming up should be a very good one, and can be made even better if you will all download and try the 4.4.0beta3 available from the mapserver web site: http://cvs.gis.umn.edu/dist/mapserver-4.4.0-beta3.tar.gz If you discover a problem, do not delay in reporting it to the MapServer bugzilla. Now, about thread safety. I've been stress testing a multi-threaded mapscript application (Python + Zope) and identified one problem yesterday. The following use of the mapscript.styleObj constructor is not safe (excuse the Python example, I'm sure you can translate :) # add a style to classObj 'co' and return reference so = mapscript.styleObj(co) I'm not exactly sure what's up, or what the fix will be. Instead, you should so something like the following safe code: # add a new style to classObj 'co', returns the index new_style_index = co.insertStyle(mapscript.styleObj()) # get reference to the added style so = co.getStyle(new_style_index) There is a bug, #1086, in bugzilla for tracking this issue. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From James.Shanton2 at NSCORP.COM Wed Nov 24 08:34:36 2004 From: James.Shanton2 at NSCORP.COM (Shanton, James A) Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 11:34:36 -0500 Subject: More than 2 Layers within group causing error Message-ID: We're trying to use the teraserver wms layers in our mapserver gis system, and are getting a weird error when I try to include more than 2 UTM zone layers within the group.

What am I trying to accomplish? 1) 1) Learn how to do simple data display from my Mysql database to a map - This I have achieved by coloring the polygons which represent where certain teachers are by their zip code within California 2) Add zoom capability to my map so that users can zoom into a polygon ( or zoom out ) - I have also achieved this 3) When user zooms into a colored polygon - I would like to put an ellipse for each teacher in that polygon - This I have not achieved and I am having no end of problems trying to achieve Since this whole deal is a proof of concept type project so that we will get the go-ahead for more advanced projects utilizing mapserver, I would like to do it as simply as possible. I have been more-or-less working on my own time to do this because I feel that it will be of great benefit to my shop. I am very familiar with ArcView and ArcIMS from installation to modification and extension and I have found it be a bit painful to use - little or no support for LAMP environments and very windows-centric and very very costly. I hope I have clarified my situation. As far as data goes - I have shape files of California with zip code data for the zip region polygons.

But by using two layers you can control what exactly is displayed via different CLASS and EXPRESSION's at different scales. The scale is determined by the current map's extents, (AFTER any zooming in which you calculated new extents based on the zoom direction. (Actually this call: my $current_scale = calculateScale($map, $imgext[0], $imgext[2]); gets the scale of the map which was just submitted, based on: @imgext = split(' ', $q->param('imgext')); where imgext is the extent just submitted with the form.) Typically you'd want to call $scale = calculateScale($map) (after your zoom calculations have changed the map's extents. What MIXSCALE, MAXSCALE to use in your map file must be determined by trail and error. HTH.

Since this thread should catch the attention of the Java/MapServer contingent, I thought it'd be a good place for a request. Does anyone have a Windows binary with a Java MapScript library that they can share? Alternately, has anybody successfully done it? Can it be built with MinGW or some other free compiler? I'm not set up to compile something like this on Windows and the whole process seems like it could turn into a serious chore just for some experimenting. -- Jeff Hoffmann jeff at propertykey.com From sobomsawin at KASSINI.COM Wed Nov 24 09:29:21 2004 From: sobomsawin at KASSINI.COM (Skweda O'Bomsawin) Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 12:29:21 -0500 Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] problem after switching to linux In-Reply-To: <41A4BC78.7040201@gmx.net> Message-ID: You don't have to embed anything in your PHP, but you must compile Mapserver with proj4.

Sounds like the only shape files you have are zip code polygons. But an ellipse is a point. To put an ellipse (POINT) on the map you will need coordinates for each teacher. Doesn't sound to me like you have that data. There could be a number of ways to handle this. Pick some lat/lon within the polygon as a starting point, then increment the longitude or the CLASS OFFSET property for each succeeding point => OOOOO or O O O O Drawing the points after the polygons or putting your point layer after your polygon layer in the map file means the ellipses will appear over the polygon. Since you are using mapscript I'm sure it is solvable.

You have a map of California ZipCodes and you have classified them so that ZipCodes with teachers of interest are colored differently than ZipCodes where there are no teachers of interest. Once a user zooms to minimum scale, you want the ZipCode polygons with teachers of interest to be symbolized with a 'dot' for each teacher. It looks like you have successfully set up two complimentary scale-dependent layers.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dave, I do use conditional statements in my html legend templates for other purposes ... the mapserver cgi conditional statements combined with javascript to colour the table rows of a dynamic legend according to groups of layers, but otherwise no, as long as any part of a layer is within a scale at which it could be drawn on the map, all the classes of a layer will still be shown in the legend. The naming scheme I use simply puts the burden on the user of the map to understand that a layer may be on, but that some of the classes may not be visible at a particular range of scales ... but at least the user can see in the class names at what scales the different classes will be visible and zoom in or out accordingly. I could imagine a more complicated package of javascript in the templates, that could detect the layer names and hide them when appropriate, but it would add work, hardcoding layer names in the javascript, for you any time you add a new layer to the map file, probably not worth the effort, and the user may never even realize that there is more data available to be seen if he/she zooms in or out. Eduardo, I have also had the problem you describe, wanting to hide the layers off the legend if you are panned out of the extent of the layer. Perhaps if you were storing all the features in PostGIS, and worked some extra queries of the database into your system you could accomplish this, but again, probably not worth the effort in my opinion and it might lead to unneeded confusion for the user if its a dynamic legend that also switches the layers on and off. Either way, there are lots of ways availble to customize how the legend is implemented. For example, a simple ASP page on the side that modifies '&layer=xxx' variables in the mapserver URL will give you controls in the legend to turn groups of layers on and off together.

You have perceived correctly on what I am trying to do. I agree with your point about dot-density maps. This scenario is only meant to be a "dog-and-pony" show and so the dots would have no real earth relevance other than to say - wow within this zip polygon there are 5 teachers, 6 teachers, etc.... ( very small data set - no more than 0-20 teachers per zip area ). I have successfully been able to show a list of teachers by polygon - in another bit of html by the map. The lengthy that you mention is something I would like to avoid due to the nature of the project. So that leaves me with the open-ended question to all - what suggestions do any and all have with regard to the last part of what I am trying to accomplish - namely - allow the user to zoom into a polygon and see some representation of what's there - a label of the actual number of teachers? I am opened to that but at this point in my mapserver education, I am limited in my understanding of Labeling. Can a label be placed within the minscale/maxscale scenario so that when you zoom in you see the label and when you zoom out it disappears? Please bare with me - I have made a lot of progress in the past three days - a lot more than I thought I would and I would like to see this through to the end.

You have a map of California ZipCodes and you have classified them so that ZipCodes with teachers of interest are colored differently than ZipCodes where there are no teachers of interest. Once a user zooms to minimum scale, you want the ZipCode polygons with teachers of interest to be symbolized with a 'dot' for each teacher. It looks like you have successfully set up two complimentary scale-dependent layers.

If you only have 10 max teachers per zipcode them just draw a circle at the zipcode x/y and set the size = #teacher*2 so you will get circles between 2 and 20 and see the relative number of teachers. You can do both of these in Mapscript, maybe some of the Perl Monks would be willing to offer some snippets on how to do these. -Steve Joseph Norris wrote: > Eric, > >>From observations of other mapserver users, I am beginning to think that it > might be a better show if I could just put a label of the number of teachers > that would appear within the polygon when the user zooms into it. > > The min/max scale thing is still a point of contention - especially when the > phrase "trial and error" is used.

If you have access to ArcInfo, you can use the following AML to split a raster into tiles: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CreatingTiles Here is an Avenue script that will split a shapefile: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VectorTileIndex There is also this: http://xserve.flids.com/pipermail/gdal-dev/2004-September/007049.html which I haven't played around with yet. There may be some other "splitting" methods mentioned in the mapserver-users archives...

I always get this error. Joerg, The message means an unrecognised value was passed to pj_init() for the proj= argument of a projection definition. This is quite unusual. It is almost certain that somewhere in your .map file or your PHP script there will be something setting a projection and for some reason doing so improperly. If you are willing to try it out, you might want to add a debug message in proj/src/pj_init.c near the line: if (!s) { pj_errno = -5; goto bum_call; } Change this to: if (!s) { fprintf( stderr, "unknown proj=%s\n", name); pj_errno = -5; goto bum_call; } Of course, you will need to download, build and install a new PROJ.4 from source to make this change.

Zoom in N times and you've got a list of scales from the maximum down to a far as your zoom. Then use those values in your map file. Re: the label. You can easily create two layers, one with no lablel for your maximum to mid scale. And one with a label for the smaller scales.

If so, it will be easy to do the labeling via the mapfile. If not, you will need to figure out a way to make the values available to mapserver/mapscript (not sure which you're using). I did see you mention something about extracting data from MySQL - is that where you're storing the values? If you want to do it via the mapfile, you could use the TEXT attribute to help with the labeling.

This is the first time I've seen the refence to "tile4ms" before. I actually have a RASTER tiler that I built to run inside of AutoCAD. It works well. But I didn't have anything for SHP files.

As long as you don't delete and records and change the order of the records (you can change the order and the number of the fields in a record) you can rename it to file.dbf and the shapefile will now work with this new attribute information. An attribute field in a shapefile IS the dbf records associated to the shape records. The association is done by record numbers. i.e. shape #1 is record number one and it's attributes are in record number one of the dbf file. Regarding you teachers issue, if you have the number of teachers, and lat/lon in mysql, then you can dynamically place the markers using mapscript without needing a shapefile. For each record in mysql, you would dynamically construct a point object and set the lat/lon position to the value in mysql and set the text of the label object to "$num teachers" there have been lots a posts about how to do this along with perl and php snippets. Or you can dynamically set the size of a marked based on the number of teachers as I suggested in an earlier post. -Steve Joseph Norris wrote: > Thanks for this information.

So it shouldn't be the mapfile!? But, up to when the error occurs, I do almost nothing with php. It's just: $neuemap = new roadMap; $neuemap->mapfile = "worldmap4.map"; $neuemap->mapInit(); function mapInit(){ $this->map = ms_newMapObj($this->mapfile); and in this first line the error occurs. So I don't set any projection in php. Where is the problem? that's quite strange...

The more complete answer is that you need all your data to be in the same projection OR you need to specify the projections. So if you data for Calif. is in some projection then you would need to specify the that projection in in the mapfile before any layer definitions, this will be the output projection of the image. Then in each layer you would include a PROJECTION ... END block define what the projection that that layer is defined in. And finally in your feature LAYER you would define the projection as: PROJECTION "proj=latlong" END And mapserver shoudl take care of the rest. -Steve Joseph Norris wrote: > Hello again, > > In the feature object at > http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html#feature > > Can the points be lat/long? > > Thanks. > > #Joseph Norris (Perl - what else is there?/Linux/CGI/Mysql) print @c=map chr > $_+100,(6,17,15,16,-68,-3,10,11,16,4,1,14,-68,12,1,14,8,-68,4,-3,-1,7,1,14,- > 68,-26,11,15,1,12,4,-68,-22,11,14,14,5,15,-90); > From ma_morin at SYMPATICO.CA Wed Nov 24 19:03:50 2004 From: ma_morin at SYMPATICO.CA (=?us-ascii?Q?Marc-Andre_Morin?=) Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 23:03:50 -0400 Subject: label object In-Reply-To: <41A530C9.4030509@swoodbridge.com> Message-ID: Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out how I could configure my mapfile to have a label where all letters would be shown in uppercase... e.g. Toronto -> TORONTO Is there a way to get that?

I'm trying to run the Itasca demo set, but no matter what I try, it will not work properly. What happens is this : - The Itasca application gives 5 options of complexity. The top 4 work perfectly. - The last one, the rubberband dhtml demo fails. The map comes up with a red screen. The image is missing. - The log file (debug = on in mapfile) does not give any error. - When you select *only* cities as a layer and click refresh, it works. A combination of some layers may work, or it may fail. Also when it fails, zooming in helps sometimes. Selecting the raster layer lets it fail *all* the time. All in all, it looks like a memory problem, in that it fails when a certain amount of data has to be processed. But there's enough memory available. My demo is here : http://84.119.191.151 (this is just my desktop PC. Your mileage may vary) The system is win2k pro with Apache 1.3.33 and Mapserver 4.2 Any hints or ideas are greatly appreciated.

The following doc will be an interesting reading on this issue: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html (if you use tomcat 5, then go to the relative section on the web site). The point is that you have to put the class in a directory that is handled by the COMMON classloader. This will guarantee that you class will be loaded once and only once during the lifecycle of tomcat. If you put it in WEB-INF/lib or classes your web-application-specific-class-loader will reload it if it thinks it has to or maybe because you webadmin decides it should be so (that it also possibile), no matter what you do to prevent it (web.xml tricks and *immutable* servlets included).

I aggree that a Windows binary with Java MapScript would be a great addition and can increase the usage of Java MapScript within the community. I also aggree that building on windows is a challenge. We worked with MinGW for quite some time but had no success in building everthing we needed. Some things worked, some not. We didn't gave up yet so maybe sometime we get it done and we would be happy to share it with erverybody who is interested. But in order to say it clearly if anybody has a working Java Mapscript library for windows we would have a serious celebration about it. best regards Oliver -- Dipl.-Geogr.

Look for LABELMINSCALE and LABELMAXSCALE at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html. Just store the desired label as an attribute within the shapefile.

Since you have a 500 error when trying to load the map, I may recommend to check at the error log of Apache (c:\program files\apache group\apache\logs) which can sometimes help you. Most of the time, a 500 error is due to a syntax error in the map file. Could you post your mapfile for analysis? Hope this will help...

I'm trying to run the Itasca demo set, but no matter what I try, it will not work properly. What happens is this : - The Itasca application gives 5 options of complexity. The top 4 work perfectly. - The last one, the rubberband dhtml demo fails. The map comes up with a red screen. The image is missing. - The log file (debug = on in mapfile) does not give any error. - When you select *only* cities as a layer and click refresh, it works. A combination of some layers may work, or it may fail. Also when it fails, zooming in helps sometimes. Selecting the raster layer lets it fail *all* the time. All in all, it looks like a memory problem, in that it fails when a certain amount of data has to be processed. But there's enough memory available. My demo is here : http://84.119.191.151 (this is just my desktop PC. Your mileage may vary) The system is win2k pro with Apache 1.3.33 and Mapserver 4.2 Any hints or ideas are greatly appreciated.

However, you can moderate these effects by pre-build "averaged" overview levels. Averaged overview levels will tend to produce an anti-aliasing sort of effect for scanned linework. Averaged overviews can be added to many GDAL supported raster formats using the gdaladdo utility like this: gdaladdo -r average work.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 The default downsampling technique in MapServer (and gdaladdo for that matter) is decimation, where at 1/4 resolution one of the pixels from the 4x4 input pattern would be selected - practically at random. For narrow line work this results in spottiness that can be quite disturbing. Averaging will give varying levels of grayness depending on how many pixels in the decimated area are set originally.

Did you get the error message in the subject line at some point? What is the CLASS definition supposed to accomplish in a WMS layer? The msRasterLayerOpen() is the open/close code I recently wrote for raster layers so that query results could be accessed. If you are getting that error message, it might be because WMS layers are also being treated like raster layers for some purposes that they should not. If you can submit a bug report for a situation where that message is issued when it should not, perhaps you should submit a bug report on the issue so that I can fix it. I haven't looked to close at the WMS layer code, but in general the results of the WMS query are fetched back as a raster file which is then passed off to the normal raster layer rendering code to overlay. If the WMS layer definition is passed in unaltered to the raster code (I think it works this way) then of course everything will be painted red. There is no [INWONERS] attribute as far as the raster classification code is concerned, so the expression would presumably always evaluate as true and everything would be set to red. If you did a test like "[INWONERS] < 2500 and [INWONDERS] ne 0" I suspect the class definition would be ignored by the raster code. But even then the low level raster code would still try to "classify" the WMS result which I doubt you really want.

That doesn't mean that there is not a problem in your mapfile. Did you really only pass the map argument and nothing else? Did you try browsing the map with the CGI? You should check all your projection definitions in your mapfile, or send a copy of a stripped down copy of the mapfile that reproduces this. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette dmorissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ From cord at LUPINEX.COM Thu Nov 25 09:47:24 2004 From: cord at LUPINEX.COM (Cord Thomas) Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2004 09:47:24 -0800 Subject: Creating IDW grids of point data for Mapserver Message-ID: Hello, Has anyone experience creating inverse distance weighted (IDW) graphs for use with mapserver?

If you add a "DEBUG ON" line in your WMS layer it should leave the temporary files after a run, then you can try and inspect them to verify they are in a supported format. By default GDAL should support GIF, PNG and JPEG. Perhaps the remote WMS server returned an error message in XML? That would cause this sort of error.

There may be something we need to alter in our handling of PNG generation in MapServer. But not knowing too much about the quirks of different browsers in this regard, it isn't clear to me yet what is wrong with the pngs generated by MapServer.

I though that your layer on the server side was set as RASTER, that's why it was related to bug1087. If it is set as a Polygon, I really do not understand what the problem is. What I have tried is : - php_mapscript : open your wms client map and draw that layer - mapserv.cgi : mode=map Is it problem happening inside chameleon or you can reprodice it with simple php scr4ipt or using mapserver cgi ?

It is not a serious problem, if your data is clean you won't see this happen but this might explain a strange occurance for someone out there ... This was discovered upon migrating from mapserver 3.6 to 4.2. The error does not occur in 3.6. Mapserver 4.2, CGI, A layer based on a shapefile, type line. The shapefile had an error where there was a record in it's table without a corresponding spatial feature. (this error probably happened by editing the shapefile dbf file in excel, adding a new record by mistake) A mapserver query of the map always returned a result for this feature no matter where you clicked so long as you clicked within the bounding box of that shapefile. Tolerance settings in the map file made no difference. Clicking on a real feature in that layer returns the correct resuts, plus a result for the broken feature. ... as if any coordinates within the bounding box was allowed to correspond to the feature that really had no coordinates at all. The same dataset used with mapserver 3.6 did not show this problem.

Attempt to open a RASTER layer, but this is only supported after a raster query Message-ID: Hi Assefa, I have created bug 1092 about this issue, which inludes a test script, map file and the output from shp2img which differs largely from the output from php_mapscript_44 beta3. http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1092 Thanks in advance for looking into this. Best regards, Bart Bart, I have corrected bug 1087. As for your bug, I could not really reproduce it with the same setting using local test data. I am using php_mapscript and the mapserver cgi to draw a layer setup as yours (WMS client to a polygon layer with wms_sld_auto and wfs_filter set). I though that your layer on the server side was set as RASTER, that's why it was related to bug1087. If it is set as a Polygon, I really do not understand what the problem is. What I have tried is : - php_mapscript : open your wms client map and draw that layer - mapserv.cgi : mode=map Is it problem happening inside chameleon or you can reprodice it with simple php scr4ipt or using mapserver cgi ? If that is the case would you provide me with your cleint and server map/data files ?

The one I'm most familiar with is to load the shapefile into PostGIS and then use an SQL query to aggregate/combine the features. Then export it back into a shapefile. The other way is to use the OGR libraries and write a small script in Python. Both of these methods use the GEOS libraries behind the scenes. If you'd like to dig further into either of these ideas let us know, or better yet, get in touch with the PostGIS, GDAL/OGR and GEOS mailing lists. Sorry for no simple answer, I'd love to hear about other ways of doing this that are simpler. Anyone have a python script to do this already?

Anyone have a python script to do this already? If I understand the question correctly this should be fairly easy todo by exploiting the fact that all interior boundaries will be represented twice in the original shapefile whereas the exterior boundaries will only be represented once. Note the interior boundaries will probably be represented in inverse order i.e a line segment ptA -> ptB in poly1 will most likely be represented as a line segment ptB - > ptA in poly2 HTH Norman From woodbri at SWOODBRIDGE.COM Sat Nov 27 18:35:54 2004 From: woodbri at SWOODBRIDGE.COM (Stephen Woodbridge) Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2004 21:35:54 -0500 Subject: bounding polygon In-Reply-To: <20041127231042.60733.qmail@web54207.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: tile4ms will do this if you pass in the name of your shapefile the output shapefile will have one record with the bounding box. -Steve Thomas Chesky wrote: > Hello, > > Is there a tool out there to create a shapefile containing one polygon, which is the combined boundary of another shapefiles's shapes? > > For example, I have a shapefile containing parcel polygons for a county.

In one instance, we even had to set up over 20 different levels of access. So far I used server-side scripting, or created separate mapfiles. But this is not flexible, and can get very complex (especially with querying using chameleon). I thought it could be very useful to have a "security" attribute in classes and layers. You could imagine this as a layer or a class simply being ignored when the mapobject is built. Or perhaps a temporary copy of the mapfile is created, stripped of all objects that don't satisfy the security-level. The security attribute could be a delimited list of the users that are allowed to view the information. The username could be picked up from the web-server (in PHP I use the REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER server-variable in Apache 2.52; this would allow a nice integration with existing security mechanisms). I thought this would be a very convenient and flexible way to have different levels of access. Of course the original mapfile can not be publically accessable when security is applied. Does anyone have any other approach to applying different levels of security? I'd be very happy to hear about other solutions. regards, Jacob JACOB DELFOS SPATIAL INFORMATION ANALYST Maunsell Australia Pty Ltd 629 Newcastle Street, WA 6007 PO Box 81, WA 6902 Leederville Western Australia ABN 20 093 846 925 Tel + 61 8 9281 6185 Fax + 61 8 9281 6297 jacob.delfos at maunsell.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've personally been leaning towards a database solution, where in the Layers are defined seperately as records in a DB and read into a semi dynamix MAPFILE from the database based on Login. The end product would be CGI based. with the operation MAPFILE being built on the fly. Another reason this is an attractive idea is that we have seperate Mapfiles now for each Layer and use DHTML to bring things together at the client by stacking Backgrounds and overlays. The MapFiles are also administered by the individual data custodians. This is only an idea at this point, but it seems like a logical approach to the security issue. The Template mapfile can then be set up with the basic (unsecured) layers and the sercure layers can be added in at will via a simple DB call based on login. bobb Jacob Delfos wrote: >Hi All, > >Lately we have had a few scenarios where we need to limit the level of = >information for particular users.

The mapscript module has changed very much from 3.6 to 4.4. 2) do not try to use itemObj, it is not functional. We use SWIG to generate the mapscript wrapper for Java, and it is very permissive, with the result that non-functional classes can be accidently added to mapscript. I'm going to shut itemObj out of the final 4.4 release. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From sirronj at PACBELL.NET Mon Nov 29 06:57:20 2004 From: sirronj at PACBELL.NET (Joseph Norris) Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 06:57:20 -0800 Subject: going crazy on setting the colors of my zip polygons via perl mapscript In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Sean and everyone who has responded - thank you all but still no color!

Is it projected, if so, what is the projection? Where did you get it from, is there any metadata or documentation there? Where did you get the values for EXTENT in your map file? If you got these values from your Zips shapefile, I would guess that your data is in UTM, you would then have to determine what UTM zone it is. If you run shpdump, shpinfo, or gdalinfo on the shapefile, you can get it's extent. Take a look at the mapfile documentation regarding projections. http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html#projection To use projections in MapServer, you define a PROJECTION block in the MAP object to set the projection for the map to be created. You then create PROJECTION blocks in each layer, defining the projection that the layer data exists in. In your map file, you have set the projections in both your MAP object and your 'calzip' layer to be 'latlong'. You need to set the projection for the 'calzip' layer to the definition for whatever projection it is in. David J. Fawcett MN Office of Environmental Assistance >>>How do I find out what my extent should be for lat/long? -figure out what projection you want your final map to be in. It can be in the same projection as any of your layers, or something completely different. There are trade-offs for every projection (or lack of one). Once you figure out what output projection you want, set the EXTENT, UNITS, and PROJECTION object in the MAP file to match that projection. If your 'calzip' polygon really is in UTM (my assumption) and you like the way that it looks, you may choose to use UTM as the output projection and project your lat/long teacher points to UTM.

Is it projected, if so, what is the projection? Where did you get it from, is there any metadata or documentation there? Where did you get the values for EXTENT in your map file? If you got these values from your Zips shapefile, I would guess that your data is in UTM, you would then have to determine what UTM zone it is. If you run shpdump, shpinfo, or gdalinfo on the shapefile, you can get it's extent. Take a look at the mapfile documentation regarding projections. http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html#projection To use projections in MapServer, you define a PROJECTION block in the MAP object to set the projection for the map to be created. You then create PROJECTION blocks in each layer, defining the projection that the layer data exists in.

You can only query by one attribute at a time, the method should have been named "queryByAttribute" singular not plural. I don't know the history of the name. Adam Ryan has this trick he uses to AND attribute queries. It involves making a query, then saving it to a file with 'saveQuery', making a new query and then adding the results from the saved query using queryByIndex. Maybe he'll see this thread and explain. Thanks for trying out the 4.4 beta. What do you think so far? Are the mapscript docs under mapscript/doc helpful? In the final 4.4.0 release there will be three HOWTOs: imagery, querying, and mapfile. cheers, Sean From yecarrillo at YAHOO.COM Mon Nov 29 16:48:19 2004 From: yecarrillo at YAHOO.COM (Eduin Carrillo) Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 18:48:19 -0600 Subject: Question on queryByAttributes - multiple fields In-Reply-To: <61054.66.15.156.209.1101772503.squirrel@www.elem.com> Message-ID: --- Cord Thomas escribi?: > Hello all > > Using MapServer 4.4x and Perl Mapscript on Linux against a PostGIS > database, i am having difficulty with the queryByAttributes method on a > polygon layer. > > I include my MAP snippet below, but basically, my code is this: > > my $res = $mapLayer->queryByAttributes($map, $qryFlds, > $qryVals, $mapscript::MS_MULTIPLE); > > where $qryFlds = "stateid,name" > and $qryVals = "(stateid='ME' and name='Knox')" > > Is this the valid way to specify multiple fields - how can i get mapserver > to dump the full query string to the log file? i have a log file setup, > and if i screw up the query string, it throws an error, but these criteria > are right and mapserver reports this: > > - msQueryByAttributes(): Search returned no results.

This behavior has not ever so. I developed at 2003 a like ArcView "Query Bulder" based on Php and a complex javascript code using oMap->queryByAttribute() function, but at version 3.7, MS no longer supports query multiple fields, so my querybuilder were lost. ===== Eduin Yesid Carrillo Vega yecarrillo at yahoo.com COLOMBIA _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have a few observations: 1 - as i said, if i see the query dump from mapserver when i forgot to give my account select permissions, i saw the following statement: DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT stateid,name::text,asbinary(force_collection(force_2d(wkb_geometry)),'NDR'),OID::text from incorpbound WHERE (stateid='ME' and name='Camden') and (wkb_geometry && setSRID( 'BOX3D(-125 23,-66 50.5)'::BOX3D,find_srid('','incorpbound','wkb_geometry') )) this would imply mapserver is correctly parsing my query - AND - if i try to execute this query against postgresql, it does return results - i get all excited by this. 2 - since query parsing is not left to mapserver (we have to provide the exact syntax) - there is no reason MS couldnt handle multiple field criteria. 3 - i see no performance issues or other technical hurdles that would prevent the execution by MS of this request - unless actually it is tied to how this information gets back into the TEMPLATE object or is used by LABELs - both issues i am unclear on (like why a TEMPLATE is /required/ by MS for queries) 4 - I understood the MS_SINGLE vs MULTIPLE - though i still need to learn how best to work with this (one problem i have is that a city's boundaries may come in more than 1 record - but i really just want 1 result - something i have to tinker with on my end) - thanks for the explanation. I look forward to reading more on documentation and if i can help, please let me know. I am working on a prototype public participation web application and i need a feature like this to work, and work quickly (application performance, not how quickly i need 4.4 released). The two fields are indexed and i really can't imagine that saving a query and reloading it is going to be efficient, but i look forward to possibly hearing from Adam. As an alternative, i could query on the most restrictive field and then iterate over the results until i find the value of the less restrictive field - though ugly, i guess that is an alternative. As I have said, i am really impressed with the work that has gone into MS - and this is a much more involved user community than it was 3 years ago - great to see.

Mike, If you can associate world files with them that describe the rotation you want undone then you can use gdalwarp to rotate them. Alternatively if you can associate control points with the corners, GDAL can work from that. But there isn't any pure "rotate by angle" type operation conveniently available in GDAL. You can contact me directly if you have questions about how to associate GCPs with an image, or how to setup a world file.

This will likely make it unsuitable for rotating a very large image (larger than can be held in RAM). Gdalwarp on the other hand is explicitly intended to work in chunks and has been used on images at least up to 100GB.

Here is a very quick summary of what's new in version 4.4: * Added WCS support (server only) * Added support for Time dimension in WMS * Lots of fixes/improvements to the OGC WMS and WFS interfaces (too many to list here). MapServer 4.4 passes all the tests of the OGC WMS 1.1.1 test suite and is ready to be certified (Formal "WMS Compliance" certification with OGC is in the works). * Added FastCGI support * Lots of fixes to allow running in long-lived processes and multithreaded environments (memory leaks, mutex locking, etc.). * Added connection pooling (implemented for SDE and PostGIS). * Lots of improvements to SWIG MapScript API and docs. * Support for i18n encodings in map labels. Tested with Chinese, Japanese and Thai. * Added ability to produce rotated maps (i.e. North is not at the top) * Completion of SDE versioned query support ... and many many more fixes and enhancements. See the HISTORY.TXT that comes with the source package for the complete list (relevant parts included below). The source code package is available for download on the MapServer download page at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html and the default documentation pages should be switched to use version 4.4 documents shortly. Windows binaries should also be available shortly at the usual locations. I would invite those producing prebuilt binaries to please reply to this email and announce the availability of their binaries and their URL. As we've done for previous releases, we will produce 4.4.x bugfix releases as required in the coming months. With respect to 4.2.x: we will not produce any more 4.2.x releases unless major issues (e.g. security issues) are ever found in 4.2.5. What about the next release? The consensus seems to be to aim for a 4.6 release in the next 4-6 months. There are no major changes or new features planned for 4.6 at this point, mostly improvements of existing features. We'll try to document our plan for 4.6 and share it with this list when it's available. Enjoy! Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette dmorissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Complete list of changes since 4.2 (excerpt from HISTORY.TXT) Version 4.4.0 (2004-11-29) -------------------------- - Fixed WMS GetCapabilities 1.1.0 crash when wms_style_<...>_legendurl_* metadata were used (bug 1096) - WCS GetCapabilities : Added ResponsibleParty support. - WMS GetCapabilities : Service online resource was not url encoded (bug 1093) - Fixed php mapscript problem with wfs_filter selection : Bug 1092. - Fixed encoding problem with WFS server when wfs_service_onlineresource was not explicitly specified (bug 1082) - Add trailing "?" or "&" to connection string when required in WFS client layers using GET method (bug 1082) - Fixed : SLD rasters was failing when there was Spatial Filter (Bug 1087) - Fixed mapwfslayer.c build error when WFS was not enabled (bug 1083) - Check that we have vsnprintf in mapimagemap.c before using it. Version 4.4.0-beta3 (2004-11-22) -------------------------------- - Added tests to mimimize the threat of recursion problems when evaluating LAYER REQUIRES or LABELREQUIRES expressions. Note that via MapScript it is possible to circumvent that test by defining layers with problems after running prepareImage. Other things crop up in that case too (symbol scaling dies) so it should be considered bad programming practice (bug 1059). - Added --with-sderaster configure option. - Make sure that msDrawWMSLayerLow calls msDrawLayer instead of msDrawRasterLayerLow directly ensuring that some logic (transparency) that are in msDrawLayer are applied (bug 541). - Force GD/JPEG outputFormatObjects to IMAGEMODE RGB and TRANSPARENT OFF if they are RGBA or ON. Makes user error such as in bug 1703 less likely. - Advertize only gd and gdal formats for wms capabilities (bug 455). - Pass config option GML_FIELDTYPES=ALWAYS_STRING to OGR so that all GML attributes are returned as strings to MapServer. This is most efficient and prevents problems with autodetection of some attribute types (bug 1043). - msOGCWKT2ProjectionObj() now uses the OGRSpatialReference::SetFromUserInput() method. This allows various convenient setting options, including the ability to handle ESRI WKT by prefixing the WKT string with "ESRI::". - Fixed GetLegendGraphic in WMS Capabilities that were missing the '?' or '&' separator if it was not included in wms_onlineresource (bug 1065). - Updated WMS/WFS client and server code to lookup "ows_*" metadata names in addition to the default "wms_*" (or "wfs_*") metadatas (WCS was already implemented this way). This reduces the amount of duplication in mapfiles that support multiple OGC interfaces since "ows_*" metadata can be used almost everywhere for common metadata items shared by multiple OGC interfaces (bug 568). - Added ows_service_onlineresource metadata for WMS/WFS to distinguish between service and GetMap/Capabilities onlineresources (bug 375). - Added map->setSize() to PHP MapScript (bug 1066). - Re-enabled building PHP MapScript using PHP's bundled regex/*.o. This is needed to build in an environment with PHP configured as an Apache DSO (bugs 990, 520). - Fixed problem with raster dither support on windows (related to ascii encoding pointers) (bug 722). - Moved PHP/SWIG MapScript layer->getExtent() logic down to msLayerGetExtent() to avoid code duplication (bug 1051). - Added SDE Raster drawing support (experimental). - HTML legends: Added [leg_header_html] and [leg_footer_html] (bug 1032). - Added "z" support in SWIG MapScript for pointObj (bug 871). - In PHP Mpascript when using ms_newrectobj, the members minx, miny, maxx, maxy are initialized to -1 (bug 788). - Write out proper world file with remote WMS result, it was off by half a pixel (bug 1050). - Send a warning in the wms capabilities if the layer status is set to default (bug 638). - Fixed PHP MapScript compile warnings: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules (bug 1053). - Added $layer->isVisible() to PHP MapScript (bug 539). - Ported $layer->getExtent() to PHP MapScript (bug 826). - wms_group_abstract can now be used in the capabilities (bug 754). - If wms_stylelist is an empty string, do not output the tag for MapContexts (bug 595). - Avoid passing FILE* to GD library by utilizing GD's gdIOCtx interface (bug 1047). - Output warning in wms/wfs capabilities document if layer,group,map names have space in them (bug 486, bug 646). - maporaclespatial.c: fixed declarations problems (bug 1044). - Allow use of msOWSPrintURLType with no metadata. In this case the default parameters will be used (bug 1001). - Ensure the outputFormatObj attached to msImageLoadGDStream() results reflect the interlacedness of the loaded image. Also ensure that the RGB PNG reference images work (make imagemode match gdImg) (bug 1039). - Fixed support for non-square pixels in WCS (bug 1014). - Expose only GD formats for GetLegendGraphic in the capabilities (bug 1001). - Check for supported formats when process a GetLegendGraphic request (bug 1030). - mapraster.c: fixed problem with leaks in tileindexed case where the tile index is missing (bug 713). - Oracle Spatial: implemented connection pool support for Oracle Spatial. New layer data parameters to support query functions, added "using unique ". Added "FILTER", "RELATE" and "GEOMRELATE" parameters, now permit users to choose the Oracle Spatial Filter. Modified the internal SQL to always apply FILTER function. And improve the Oracle Spatial performance. - Centralize "stdout binary mode setting" for win32 in msIO_needBinaryStdout(). Use it when writing GDAL files to stdout in mapgdal.c. Fixes problems with output of binary files from GDAL outputformat drivers on win32 via WMS/WCS. - MapServer now provides one default style named (default), title and LegendURL when generating capabilities. Added also the possibility to use the keyword default for STYLES parameter when doing a GetMap (..&STYLES=default,defeault,...) (bug 1001). - Add xlink:type="simple" in WMS MetadataURL (bug 1027). Version 4.4.0-beta2 (2004-11-03) -------------------------------- - free mapServObj properly in mapserv.c in OWS dispatch case to fix minor memory leaks. - modified msCloseConnections() to also close raster layers so that held raster query results will be freed. - modified raster queries to properly set the classindex in the resultcache. - modified msDrawQueryCache() to be very careful to not try and lookup information on out-of-range classindex values. This seems to occur when default shapes come back witha classindex of 0 even if there are no classes. (ie. raster query results). - the loadmapcontext function has changed it behaviour. Before the 4.4 relase when loading layers from a map context, the layer name was built using a unique prefix + the name found in the context (eg for the 2nd layer in map context named park, the layer name generated would possibly be l:2:park). Now the loadmapcontext takes a 2nd optional argument to force the creation of the unique names. The default behaviour is now to have the layer name equals to the name found in the context file (bug 1023). - Fixed problem with WMS GetCapabilities aborting when wms_layer_group is used for some layers but not for all (bug 1024). - Changed raster queries to return the list of all pixel values as an attribute named "value_list" rather than "values" to avoid conflict with special [values] substitution rule in maptemplate.c. - Fixed raster queries to reproject results back to map projection, and to do point queries distance checking against the correct projection (bug 1021). - Get rid of WMS 1.0.8 support. It's not an officially supported verison of the spec anyway: it's synonymous for 1.1.0 (bug 1022). - Allow use of '=' inside HTML template tag parser (bug 978). - Use metadata ows_schema_location for WMS/WFS/WCS/SLD (bugs 999, 1013, 938). The default value if metadata is not found is http://schemas.opengeospatial.net. - Generate a RULE tag when generating an SLD (bug 1010). - WMS GetLegendGraphic uses now the RULE value to return an icon for a class that has the same name as the RULE value (bug 843). - Add msOWSPrintURLType: This funciton is a generic URL printing fuction for OGC specification metadata (WMS, WFS, WCS, WMC, etc.) (bug 944). - Support MetadataURL, DataURL and LegendURL tags in WMS capabilities document and MetadataURL in WFS capabilities. - SWIG mapscript: clone methods for layerObj, classObj, styleObj (bug 1012). - Implemented an intarray helper class for SWIG mapscript which allows for multi-language manipulation of layer drawing order (bugs 853, 1005). - Fixed WMS GetLegendGraphic which was returning an exception (GD error) when requested layer was out of scale (bug 1006). - Fixed maplexer.l to work with flex 2.5.31 (bug 975). - WMS GetMap requests now have MS_NONSQUARE enabled by default. This means that if the width/height ratio doesn't match the extent's x/y ratio then the map is stretched as stated in the WMS specification (bug 862). - In WMS, layers with no explicit projection defined will receive a copy of the map's projectionObj if a new SRS is specified in the GetMap request or if MS_NONSQUARE is enabled. This will prevent the problem with layers that don't show up in WMS request when the server administrator forgets to explicitly set projections on all the layers in a WMS mapfile (bug 947). - Implemented FastCGI cleanup support for win32 and unix in mapserv.c. - Solved configure/compile issues with libiconv (bugs 909, 1017). Version 4.4.0-beta1 (2004-10-21) -------------------------------- - "shared" compilation target now supports some kind of versioning, should at least prevent libmap.so version collisions when upgrading MapServer on a server (bug 982). - When no RULE parameter has been specified in the WMS request a legend should be returned with all classes for the specified LAYER. Changes has been made in mapwms.c (bug 653). Also if the SCALE parameter is provided in the WMS request is will be used to determine whether the legend of the specified layer should be drawn in the case that the layer is scale dependant (big 809). - Nested layers in the capabilities are supported by using a new metadata tag WMS_LAYER_GROUP (bug 776). - Added greyscale+alpha render support if mapdrawgdal.c (bug 965). - Added --with-fastcgi support to configure. - support OGC mapcontext through mapserver cgi (bug 946). - support for reading 3d shape file (z) (bug 869). - add php mapscript functions to expose the z element (bug 870). - imageObj::write() method for SWIG mapscript (bug 941). - Protect users from 3 potential sources of threading problems: parsing expression strings outside of msLoadMap, evaluating mapserver logical expressions, and loading symbol set files outside of msLoadMap (bug 339). - Various fixes allowing unit tests to run leak free under valgrind on i686. Memory is now properly freed when exiting from common error states (bug 927). - Restored ability to render transparent (indexed or alpha) pixmap symbols on RGB map images, including annotation layers and embedded scalebars. This feature remains OFF by default for map layers and is enabled by specifying TRANSPARENCY ALPHA (bugs 926, 490). - mapserv_fcgi.c removed. Committed new comprehensive FastCGI support. - New mapserver exceptions for Java mapscript thanks to Umberto Nicoletti (bug 895). - Removed mapindex.c, mapindex.h, shpindex.c components of old unused shapefile indexing method. - Use the symbol size instead of 1 for the default style size value. This is done by setting the default size to -1 and adding msSymbolGetDefaultSize() everywhere to get the default symbolsize (Bug 751). - Correct Bug with GML BBOX output when using a with a GetFeature request (Bug 913). - Encode all metadatas and mapfile parameters outputed in a xml document (Bug 802). - Implement the ENCODING label parameter to support internationalization. Note this require the iconv library (Bug 858). - New and improved Java mapscript build provided by unicoletti at prometeo.it and examples by Y.K. Choo (bug 876). - MapContext: Cleanup code to make future integration more easily and output SRS and DataURL in the order required by the spec. - Fixed issue with polygon outline colors and brush caching (bug 868). - New C# mapscript makefiles and examples provided by Y.K. Choo committed under mapscript/csharp/ (bug 867). - Renamed 'string' member of labelCacheMemberObj to 'text' to avoid conflicts in SWIG mapscript with C# and Java types (bug 852). - Fixed Bug 866 : problem when generating an sld on a pplygon layer - SWIG mapscript: map's output image width and height should be set simultaneously using new mapObj::setSize() method. This performs necessary map geotransform computation. Direct setting of map width and height is deprecated (bug 836). - Fixed bug 832 (validate srs value) : When the SRS parameter in a GetMap request contains a SRS that is valid for some, but not all of the layers being requested, then the server shall throw a Service Exception (code = "InvalidSRS"). Before this fix, mapserver use to reproject the layers to the requested SRS. - Fixed bug 834: SE_ROW_ID in SDE not initialized for unregistered SDE tables - Fixed bug 823 : adding a validation of the SRS parameter when doing a GetMap request on a wms server. Here is the OGC statement : 'When the SRS parameter in a GetMap request contains a SRS that is valid for some, but not all of the layers being requested, then the server shall throw a Service Exception (code = "InvalidSRS").' - Set the background color of polygons or circles when using transparent PIXMAP symbol. - SWIG mapscript class extensions are completely moved from mapscript.i into separate interface files under mapscript/swiginc. - Overhaul of mapscript unit testing framework with a comprehensive test runner mapscript/python/tests/runtests.py. - Modified the MS_VALID_EXTENT macro to take an extent as its argument instead of the quartet of members. MapServer now checks that extents input through the mapfile are valid in mapfile.c (web, map, reference, and layer). Modified msMapSetExtent in mapobject.c to use the new macro instead of its home-grown version. Modified all cases that used MS_VALID_EXTENT to the new use case. - Layers now accept an EXTENT through the mapfile (bug 786). Nothing is done with it at this point, and getExtent still queries the datasource rather than getting information from the mapfile-specified extent. - Fixed problem with WMS GetFeatureInfo when map was reprojected. Was a problem with msProjectRect and zero-size search rectangles (bug 794) - MapServer version now output to mapscriptvars and read by Perl Makefile.PL and Python setup.py (bug 795). - Map.web, layer, and class metadata are exposed in SWIG mapscript as first-class objects (bug 737). - Add support for spatial filters in the SLD (Bug 782) - A few fixes to allow php_mapscript to work with both PHP4 and PHP5. PHP5 support should still be considered experimental. (bug 718) - Fixed SDE only recognizing SE_ROW_ID as the unique column (bug 536). The code now autosenses the unique row id column. - Enhanced SDE support to include support for queries against user-specified versions. The version name can be specified as the last parameter of the CONNECTION string. - Fixed automated generation of onlineresource in OWS GetCapabilities when the xxx_onlineresource metadata is not specified: the map= parameter used to be omitted and is now included in the default onlineresource if it was explicitly set in QUERY_STRING (bug 643) - Fixed possible crash when producing WMS errors INIMAGE (bug 644) - Fixed automated generation of onlineresource in OWS GetCapabilities when the xxx_onlineresource metadata is not specified: the map= parameter used to be omitted and is now included in the default onlineresource if it was explicitly set in QUERY_STRING (bug 643) - Fixed an issue with annotation label overlap. There was an issue with the way msRectToPolygon was computing it's bounding box. (bug 618) - Removed "xbasewohoo" debug output when using JOINs and fixed a few error messages related to MySQL joins (bug 652) - Fixed "raster cracking" problem (bug 493) - Improvements to Makefile.vc, and nmake.opt so that a mapscriptvars file can be produced on windows. - Updated setup.py so Python MapScript builds on win32. - Added preliminary raster query support. - No more Python-stopping but otherwise benign errors raised from msDrawWMSLayer() (bug 650). - Finished prototyping all MapServer functions used by SWIG-Mapscript and added 'void' to prototypes of no-arg functions, eliminating all but two SWIG-Mapscript build warnings (bug 658). - Mapscript: resolved issue with pens and dynamic drawing of points (bug 663). - Mapscript: fixes to tests of shape copying and new image symbols. - Mapscript: new OWSRequest class based on cgiRequestObj structure in cgiutil.h is a first step to allow programming with MapServer's OWS dispatching (bug 670). - Mapscript: styles member of classObj structure is no longer exposed to SWIG (bug 611). - Implementation geotransform/rotation support in cgi core, and mapscript.i. - Testing: fixed syntax error, 'EPSG' -> 'epsg' in test.map (bug 687). Added an embedded scalebar which demonstrates that bug 519 is fixed. The test data package is also made more complete by including two fonts from Bitstream's open Vera fonts (bug 694). - Mapscript (SWIG): remove promote and demote methods from layerObj. Use of container's moveLayerUp/moveLayerDown is better, and this brings the module nearer to PHP-Mapscript (bug 692). - mapogr.cpp: Now echos CPLGetLastErrorMsg() results if OGR open fails. - mapraster.c: fixed tile index corruption problem (bug 698) - Mladen Turk's map copying macros in mapcopy.h clean up map cloning and allow for copying of fontset and symbolset. Added cloning tests in python/tests/testCloneMap.py and refactored testing suite (bugs 640 & 701). - Mapscript: removing obsolete python/setup_wnone.py file. - CONFIG MS_NONSQUARE YES now enables non-square pixel mode (mostly for WMS). Changes in mapdraw.c (msDrawMap()) to use the geotransform "hack" to allow non-square pixels. - When using the text/html mime type in a GetFeature request, if the layer's template is not set to a valid file, errors occur. Correction is : the text/html is not advertized by default and will only be advertized if the user has defined "WMS_FEATURE_INFO_MIME_TYPE" "text/html" (bug 736) - Make PHP MapScript's layer->open() produce a PHP Warning instead of a Fatal error (bug 742) - MapServer hash tables are now a structure containing a items pointer to hashObj. See maphash.h for new prototypes of hash table functions. In SWIG mapscript, Map, Layer, and Class metadata are now instances of the new hashTableObj class. fontset.fonts and Map.configoptions are also instances of hashTableObj. The older getMetaData/setMetaData and metadata iterator methods can be deprecated (bug 737). - Mapscript-SWIG: made the arguments of mapObj and layerObj constructors optional. A layerObj can now exist outside of a map and can be added to a mapObj using the insertLayer method. mapObj.removeLayer now returns a copy of the removed Layer rather than an integer (bug 759). - Fixed $map->processTemplate() which was always returning NULL. Bug introduced in version 4.0 in all flavours of MapScript (bug 410) Version 4.2-beta1 (2004-04-17) ------------------------------ - Added support for WMS 1.1.1 in the WMS interface. - Added support for WMS-SLD in client and server mode. - Added support for attribute filters in the WFS interface. - WMS Interface: several fixes to address issues found in running tests against the OGC testsuite. One of the side-effects is that incomplete GetMap requests that used to work in previous versions will produce errors now (see bug 622). - Modified configure scripts to be able to configure/build PHP MapScript using an installed PHP instead of requiring the full source tree. - Added ability to combine multiple WMS connections to the same server into a single request when the layers are adjacent and compatible. (bug 116) - Support POSTed requests without Content-Length set. - Added support for proper classification of non-8bit rasters. - Added support for BYTE rawmode output type. - Added support for multiple bands of output in rawmode. - MySQL joins available - Fixed problems with detection of OGRRegisterAll() with GDAL 1.1.9 in configure due to GDAL's library name change. Fixed a few other minor issues with GDAL/OGR in configure. - Modified configure to disable native TIFF/PNG/JPEG/GIF support by default if GDAL is enabled. You can still enable them explicitly if you like. - Replace wms_style_%s_legendurl, wms_logourl, wms_descriptionurl, wms_dataurl and wms_metadataurl metadata by four new metadata by metadata replaced. The new metadata are called legendurl_width, legendurl_height, legendurl_format, legendurl_href, logourl_width, etc... Old dependancy to the metadata with four value in it , space separated, are not kept. - Implement DataURL, MetadataURL and DescriptionURL metadata in mapcontext.c (bug 523) - PHP MapScript's pasteImage() now takes a hex color value (e.g. 0xrrggbb) for the transparent color instead of a color index. (bug 463) - OGR data sources with relative paths are now checked relative to SHAPEPATH first, and if not found then we try again relative to the mapfile location. (bug 295) - There is a new mapObj parameter called MAXSIZE to control maximum image size to serve via the CGI and WMS interfaces. The default is 2048 as before but it can be changed in the map file now. (bug 435) - Added simple dataset for unit and regression tests (bug 453) - PostGIS: added postresql_NOTICE_HANDLER() sending output via msDebug() and only when layer->debug is set (bug 418) - Added Apache version detection in configure and added non-blocking flag on stderr in msDebug() to work around Apache 2.x bug (bug 458) - MapScript rectObj: added optional bounding value args to constructor and extended rectObj class with a toPolygon method (bug 508). - MapScript pointObj: added optional x/y args to constructor (bug 508). - MapScript colorObj: added optional RGB color value args to colorObj constructor, and extended colorObj class with setRGB, setHex, and toHex methods. The hex methods use hex color strings like '#ffffff' rather than '0xffffff' for compatibility with HTML (bug 509). - MapScript outputFormatObj: extended with a getOption method (bug 510). - MapScript imageObj: added optional mapObj argument to the save method resolving bug 549 without breaking current API. Also added optional driver and filename arguments to constructor which allows imageObj instances to be created with a specified driver or from files on disk (bug 530). Added new code to Python MapScript which extends the filename option to Python file-like objects (bug 550). This means StringIO and urllib's network objects! - MapScript classObj and styleObj: added a new styleObj shadow class and extended classObj with getStyle, insertStyle, and removeStyle methods. MapScript now supports multiple styles for dynamically created classes (bug 548). - MapScript layerObj: added getExtent, getNumFeatures extension methods, allowing getShape to access inline features (bug 562). - Added fixes for AMD64/Linux in configure (bug 565) - Removed OGR_STATIC stuff in configure script that used to allow us to build with OGR statically by pointing to the OGR source tree. That means you can only build with OGR when *installed* as part of GDAL, but that's what everyone is doing these days anyway. - Mapscript outputFormatObj: extended constructor to allow format names, and mapObj methods to append and remove output formats from the outputformatlist (bug 511). - New SWIG mapscript development documentation in the spirit of the PHP-Mapscript readme file, but using reST (bug 576). - Paving way for future changes to SWIG mapscript API with new features enabled by NEXT_GENERATION_API symbol (bug 586). - Added ability to set string member variables to NULL in PHP MapScript (bug 591) - New key iterators for map, layer, and class metadata hash tables (bug 434) and fontset fonts hash table (bug 439). - Fixed potential crash when using nquery with a querymap enabled and some layers have a template set at the layer level instead of inside classes (bug 569). - New CONFIG keyword in the MAP object in a .map file to be used to set external configuration parameters such as PROJ_LIB and control of some GDAL and OGR driver behaviours (bug 619) From cord at LUPINEX.COM Mon Nov 29 21:10:55 2004 From: cord at LUPINEX.COM (Cord Thomas) Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 21:10:55 -0800 Subject: MapServer 4.4.0 released In-Reply-To: <41ABFE14.6070709@dmsolutions.ca> Message-ID: Great news.

Message-ID: I am using mapserver 4.2.4. All I wanted to do is to do any simple mapserver instructions to see that everything works. I have tried the demos that apear when you install mapserver, but I wanted to see it work with my own code and deploying my archives to the server. For example it will be great if i could manage to just draw a .map file for instance as a response to the client. Does anyone know how to do this, or what easy instructions I can use to see if it works?

The mapscript module has changed very much from 3.6 to 4.4. 2) do not try to use itemObj, it is not functional. We use SWIG to generate the mapscript wrapper for Java, and it is very permissive, with the result that non-functional classes can be accidently added to mapscript. I'm going to shut itemObj out of the final 4.4 release. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies --------------------------------- --------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You must convert it to sq feet, sq meters, sq miles, or whatever you like. I wrote the above functions to convert to sq feet and/or acres for a state plane coordinate system in US Survey Feet. You need to modify them for your coordinate system, resloution setting (if not 72), and desired output units.

I was just wondering when the FastCGI support will be available!! Keep going with your excellent work! Skweda O'Bomsawin -----Message d'origine----- De?: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] De la part de Daniel Morissette Envoy??: 29 novembre 2004 23:59 ??: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Objet?: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] MapServer 4.4.0 released Good evening, The MapServer 4.4.0 release is now officially available, thanks to the hard work of everyone involved. Here is a very quick summary of what's new in version 4.4: * Added WCS support (server only) * Added support for Time dimension in WMS * Lots of fixes/improvements to the OGC WMS and WFS interfaces (too many to list here). MapServer 4.4 passes all the tests of the OGC WMS 1.1.1 test suite and is ready to be certified (Formal "WMS Compliance" certification with OGC is in the works). * Added FastCGI support * Lots of fixes to allow running in long-lived processes and multithreaded environments (memory leaks, mutex locking, etc.). * Added connection pooling (implemented for SDE and PostGIS). * Lots of improvements to SWIG MapScript API and docs. * Support for i18n encodings in map labels. Tested with Chinese, Japanese and Thai. * Added ability to produce rotated maps (i.e. North is not at the top) * Completion of SDE versioned query support ... and many many more fixes and enhancements. See the HISTORY.TXT that comes with the source package for the complete list (relevant parts included below). The source code package is available for download on the MapServer download page at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html and the default documentation pages should be switched to use version 4.4 documents shortly. Windows binaries should also be available shortly at the usual locations. I would invite those producing prebuilt binaries to please reply to this email and announce the availability of their binaries and their URL. As we've done for previous releases, we will produce 4.4.x bugfix releases as required in the coming months. With respect to 4.2.x: we will not produce any more 4.2.x releases unless major issues (e.g. security issues) are ever found in 4.2.5. What about the next release? The consensus seems to be to aim for a 4.6 release in the next 4-6 months. There are no major changes or new features planned for 4.6 at this point, mostly improvements of existing features. We'll try to document our plan for 4.6 and share it with this list when it's available. Enjoy! Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette dmorissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Complete list of changes since 4.2 (excerpt from HISTORY.TXT) Version 4.4.0 (2004-11-29) -------------------------- - Fixed WMS GetCapabilities 1.1.0 crash when wms_style_<...>_legendurl_* metadata were used (bug 1096) - WCS GetCapabilities : Added ResponsibleParty support. - WMS GetCapabilities : Service online resource was not url encoded (bug 1093) - Fixed php mapscript problem with wfs_filter selection : Bug 1092. - Fixed encoding problem with WFS server when wfs_service_onlineresource was not explicitly specified (bug 1082) - Add trailing "?" or "&" to connection string when required in WFS client layers using GET method (bug 1082) - Fixed : SLD rasters was failing when there was Spatial Filter (Bug 1087) - Fixed mapwfslayer.c build error when WFS was not enabled (bug 1083) - Check that we have vsnprintf in mapimagemap.c before using it. Version 4.4.0-beta3 (2004-11-22) -------------------------------- - Added tests to mimimize the threat of recursion problems when evaluating LAYER REQUIRES or LABELREQUIRES expressions. Note that via MapScript it is possible to circumvent that test by defining layers with problems after running prepareImage. Other things crop up in that case too (symbol scaling dies) so it should be considered bad programming practice (bug 1059). - Added --with-sderaster configure option. - Make sure that msDrawWMSLayerLow calls msDrawLayer instead of msDrawRasterLayerLow directly ensuring that some logic (transparency) that are in msDrawLayer are applied (bug 541). - Force GD/JPEG outputFormatObjects to IMAGEMODE RGB and TRANSPARENT OFF if they are RGBA or ON. Makes user error such as in bug 1703 less likely. - Advertize only gd and gdal formats for wms capabilities (bug 455). - Pass config option GML_FIELDTYPES=ALWAYS_STRING to OGR so that all GML attributes are returned as strings to MapServer. This is most efficient and prevents problems with autodetection of some attribute types (bug 1043). - msOGCWKT2ProjectionObj() now uses the OGRSpatialReference::SetFromUserInput() method. This allows various convenient setting options, including the ability to handle ESRI WKT by prefixing the WKT string with "ESRI::". - Fixed GetLegendGraphic in WMS Capabilities that were missing the '?' or '&' separator if it was not included in wms_onlineresource (bug 1065). - Updated WMS/WFS client and server code to lookup "ows_*" metadata names in addition to the default "wms_*" (or "wfs_*") metadatas (WCS was already implemented this way). This reduces the amount of duplication in mapfiles that support multiple OGC interfaces since "ows_*" metadata can be used almost everywhere for common metadata items shared by multiple OGC interfaces (bug 568). - Added ows_service_onlineresource metadata for WMS/WFS to distinguish between service and GetMap/Capabilities onlineresources (bug 375). - Added map->setSize() to PHP MapScript (bug 1066). - Re-enabled building PHP MapScript using PHP's bundled regex/*.o. This is needed to build in an environment with PHP configured as an Apache DSO (bugs 990, 520). - Fixed problem with raster dither support on windows (related to ascii encoding pointers) (bug 722). - Moved PHP/SWIG MapScript layer->getExtent() logic down to msLayerGetExtent() to avoid code duplication (bug 1051). - Added SDE Raster drawing support (experimental). - HTML legends: Added [leg_header_html] and [leg_footer_html] (bug 1032). - Added "z" support in SWIG MapScript for pointObj (bug 871). - In PHP Mpascript when using ms_newrectobj, the members minx, miny, maxx, maxy are initialized to -1 (bug 788). - Write out proper world file with remote WMS result, it was off by half a pixel (bug 1050). - Send a warning in the wms capabilities if the layer status is set to default (bug 638). - Fixed PHP MapScript compile warnings: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules (bug 1053). - Added $layer->isVisible() to PHP MapScript (bug 539). - Ported $layer->getExtent() to PHP MapScript (bug 826). - wms_group_abstract can now be used in the capabilities (bug 754). - If wms_stylelist is an empty string, do not output the tag for MapContexts (bug 595). - Avoid passing FILE* to GD library by utilizing GD's gdIOCtx interface (bug 1047). - Output warning in wms/wfs capabilities document if layer,group,map names have space in them (bug 486, bug 646). - maporaclespatial.c: fixed declarations problems (bug 1044). - Allow use of msOWSPrintURLType with no metadata. In this case the default parameters will be used (bug 1001). - Ensure the outputFormatObj attached to msImageLoadGDStream() results reflect the interlacedness of the loaded image. Also ensure that the RGB PNG reference images work (make imagemode match gdImg) (bug 1039). - Fixed support for non-square pixels in WCS (bug 1014). - Expose only GD formats for GetLegendGraphic in the capabilities (bug 1001). - Check for supported formats when process a GetLegendGraphic request (bug 1030). - mapraster.c: fixed problem with leaks in tileindexed case where the tile index is missing (bug 713). - Oracle Spatial: implemented connection pool support for Oracle Spatial. New layer data parameters to support query functions, added "using unique ". Added "FILTER", "RELATE" and "GEOMRELATE" parameters, now permit users to choose the Oracle Spatial Filter. Modified the internal SQL to always apply FILTER function. And improve the Oracle Spatial performance. - Centralize "stdout binary mode setting" for win32 in msIO_needBinaryStdout(). Use it when writing GDAL files to stdout in mapgdal.c. Fixes problems with output of binary files from GDAL outputformat drivers on win32 via WMS/WCS. - MapServer now provides one default style named (default), title and LegendURL when generating capabilities. Added also the possibility to use the keyword default for STYLES parameter when doing a GetMap (..&STYLES=default,defeault,...) (bug 1001). - Add xlink:type="simple" in WMS MetadataURL (bug 1027). Version 4.4.0-beta2 (2004-11-03) -------------------------------- - free mapServObj properly in mapserv.c in OWS dispatch case to fix minor memory leaks. - modified msCloseConnections() to also close raster layers so that held raster query results will be freed. - modified raster queries to properly set the classindex in the resultcache. - modified msDrawQueryCache() to be very careful to not try and lookup information on out-of-range classindex values. This seems to occur when default shapes come back witha classindex of 0 even if there are no classes. (ie. raster query results). - the loadmapcontext function has changed it behaviour. Before the 4.4 relase when loading layers from a map context, the layer name was built using a unique prefix + the name found in the context (eg for the 2nd layer in map context named park, the layer name generated would possibly be l:2:park). Now the loadmapcontext takes a 2nd optional argument to force the creation of the unique names. The default behaviour is now to have the layer name equals to the name found in the context file (bug 1023). - Fixed problem with WMS GetCapabilities aborting when wms_layer_group is used for some layers but not for all (bug 1024). - Changed raster queries to return the list of all pixel values as an attribute named "value_list" rather than "values" to avoid conflict with special [values] substitution rule in maptemplate.c. - Fixed raster queries to reproject results back to map projection, and to do point queries distance checking against the correct projection (bug 1021). - Get rid of WMS 1.0.8 support. It's not an officially supported verison of the spec anyway: it's synonymous for 1.1.0 (bug 1022). - Allow use of '=' inside HTML template tag parser (bug 978). - Use metadata ows_schema_location for WMS/WFS/WCS/SLD (bugs 999, 1013, 938). The default value if metadata is not found is http://schemas.opengeospatial.net. - Generate a RULE tag when generating an SLD (bug 1010). - WMS GetLegendGraphic uses now the RULE value to return an icon for a class that has the same name as the RULE value (bug 843). - Add msOWSPrintURLType: This funciton is a generic URL printing fuction for OGC specification metadata (WMS, WFS, WCS, WMC, etc.) (bug 944). - Support MetadataURL, DataURL and LegendURL tags in WMS capabilities document and MetadataURL in WFS capabilities. - SWIG mapscript: clone methods for layerObj, classObj, styleObj (bug 1012). - Implemented an intarray helper class for SWIG mapscript which allows for multi-language manipulation of layer drawing order (bugs 853, 1005). - Fixed WMS GetLegendGraphic which was returning an exception (GD error) when requested layer was out of scale (bug 1006). - Fixed maplexer.l to work with flex 2.5.31 (bug 975). - WMS GetMap requests now have MS_NONSQUARE enabled by default. This means that if the width/height ratio doesn't match the extent's x/y ratio then the map is stretched as stated in the WMS specification (bug 862). - In WMS, layers with no explicit projection defined will receive a copy of the map's projectionObj if a new SRS is specified in the GetMap request or if MS_NONSQUARE is enabled. This will prevent the problem with layers that don't show up in WMS request when the server administrator forgets to explicitly set projections on all the layers in a WMS mapfile (bug 947). - Implemented FastCGI cleanup support for win32 and unix in mapserv.c. - Solved configure/compile issues with libiconv (bugs 909, 1017). Version 4.4.0-beta1 (2004-10-21) -------------------------------- - "shared" compilation target now supports some kind of versioning, should at least prevent libmap.so version collisions when upgrading MapServer on a server (bug 982). - When no RULE parameter has been specified in the WMS request a legend should be returned with all classes for the specified LAYER. Changes has been made in mapwms.c (bug 653). Also if the SCALE parameter is provided in the WMS request is will be used to determine whether the legend of the specified layer should be drawn in the case that the layer is scale dependant (big 809). - Nested layers in the capabilities are supported by using a new metadata tag WMS_LAYER_GROUP (bug 776). - Added greyscale+alpha render support if mapdrawgdal.c (bug 965). - Added --with-fastcgi support to configure. - support OGC mapcontext through mapserver cgi (bug 946). - support for reading 3d shape file (z) (bug 869). - add php mapscript functions to expose the z element (bug 870). - imageObj::write() method for SWIG mapscript (bug 941). - Protect users from 3 potential sources of threading problems: parsing expression strings outside of msLoadMap, evaluating mapserver logical expressions, and loading symbol set files outside of msLoadMap (bug 339). - Various fixes allowing unit tests to run leak free under valgrind on i686. Memory is now properly freed when exiting from common error states (bug 927). - Restored ability to render transparent (indexed or alpha) pixmap symbols on RGB map images, including annotation layers and embedded scalebars. This feature remains OFF by default for map layers and is enabled by specifying TRANSPARENCY ALPHA (bugs 926, 490). - mapserv_fcgi.c removed. Committed new comprehensive FastCGI support. - New mapserver exceptions for Java mapscript thanks to Umberto Nicoletti (bug 895). - Removed mapindex.c, mapindex.h, shpindex.c components of old unused shapefile indexing method. - Use the symbol size instead of 1 for the default style size value. This is done by setting the default size to -1 and adding msSymbolGetDefaultSize() everywhere to get the default symbolsize (Bug 751). - Correct Bug with GML BBOX output when using a with a GetFeature request (Bug 913). - Encode all metadatas and mapfile parameters outputed in a xml document (Bug 802). - Implement the ENCODING label parameter to support internationalization. Note this require the iconv library (Bug 858). - New and improved Java mapscript build provided by unicoletti at prometeo.it and examples by Y.K. Choo (bug 876). - MapContext: Cleanup code to make future integration more easily and output SRS and DataURL in the order required by the spec. - Fixed issue with polygon outline colors and brush caching (bug 868). - New C# mapscript makefiles and examples provided by Y.K. Choo committed under mapscript/csharp/ (bug 867). - Renamed 'string' member of labelCacheMemberObj to 'text' to avoid conflicts in SWIG mapscript with C# and Java types (bug 852). - Fixed Bug 866 : problem when generating an sld on a pplygon layer - SWIG mapscript: map's output image width and height should be set simultaneously using new mapObj::setSize() method. This performs necessary map geotransform computation. Direct setting of map width and height is deprecated (bug 836). - Fixed bug 832 (validate srs value) : When the SRS parameter in a GetMap request contains a SRS that is valid for some, but not all of the layers being requested, then the server shall throw a Service Exception (code = "InvalidSRS"). Before this fix, mapserver use to reproject the layers to the requested SRS. - Fixed bug 834: SE_ROW_ID in SDE not initialized for unregistered SDE tables - Fixed bug 823 : adding a validation of the SRS parameter when doing a GetMap request on a wms server. Here is the OGC statement : 'When the SRS parameter in a GetMap request contains a SRS that is valid for some, but not all of the layers being requested, then the server shall throw a Service Exception (code = "InvalidSRS").' - Set the background color of polygons or circles when using transparent PIXMAP symbol. - SWIG mapscript class extensions are completely moved from mapscript.i into separate interface files under mapscript/swiginc. - Overhaul of mapscript unit testing framework with a comprehensive test runner mapscript/python/tests/runtests.py. - Modified the MS_VALID_EXTENT macro to take an extent as its argument instead of the quartet of members. MapServer now checks that extents input through the mapfile are valid in mapfile.c (web, map, reference, and layer). Modified msMapSetExtent in mapobject.c to use the new macro instead of its home-grown version. Modified all cases that used MS_VALID_EXTENT to the new use case. - Layers now accept an EXTENT through the mapfile (bug 786). Nothing is done with it at this point, and getExtent still queries the datasource rather than getting information from the mapfile-specified extent. - Fixed problem with WMS GetFeatureInfo when map was reprojected. Was a problem with msProjectRect and zero-size search rectangles (bug 794) - MapServer version now output to mapscriptvars and read by Perl Makefile.PL and Python setup.py (bug 795). - Map.web, layer, and class metadata are exposed in SWIG mapscript as first-class objects (bug 737). - Add support for spatial filters in the SLD (Bug 782) - A few fixes to allow php_mapscript to work with both PHP4 and PHP5. PHP5 support should still be considered experimental. (bug 718) - Fixed SDE only recognizing SE_ROW_ID as the unique column (bug 536). The code now autosenses the unique row id column. - Enhanced SDE support to include support for queries against user-specified versions. The version name can be specified as the last parameter of the CONNECTION string. - Fixed automated generation of onlineresource in OWS GetCapabilities when the xxx_onlineresource metadata is not specified: the map= parameter used to be omitted and is now included in the default onlineresource if it was explicitly set in QUERY_STRING (bug 643) - Fixed possible crash when producing WMS errors INIMAGE (bug 644) - Fixed automated generation of onlineresource in OWS GetCapabilities when the xxx_onlineresource metadata is not specified: the map= parameter used to be omitted and is now included in the default onlineresource if it was explicitly set in QUERY_STRING (bug 643) - Fixed an issue with annotation label overlap. There was an issue with the way msRectToPolygon was computing it's bounding box. (bug 618) - Removed "xbasewohoo" debug output when using JOINs and fixed a few error messages related to MySQL joins (bug 652) - Fixed "raster cracking" problem (bug 493) - Improvements to Makefile.vc, and nmake.opt so that a mapscriptvars file can be produced on windows. - Updated setup.py so Python MapScript builds on win32. - Added preliminary raster query support. - No more Python-stopping but otherwise benign errors raised from msDrawWMSLayer() (bug 650). - Finished prototyping all MapServer functions used by SWIG-Mapscript and added 'void' to prototypes of no-arg functions, eliminating all but two SWIG-Mapscript build warnings (bug 658). - Mapscript: resolved issue with pens and dynamic drawing of points (bug 663). - Mapscript: fixes to tests of shape copying and new image symbols. - Mapscript: new OWSRequest class based on cgiRequestObj structure in cgiutil.h is a first step to allow programming with MapServer's OWS dispatching (bug 670). - Mapscript: styles member of classObj structure is no longer exposed to SWIG (bug 611). - Implementation geotransform/rotation support in cgi core, and mapscript.i. - Testing: fixed syntax error, 'EPSG' -> 'epsg' in test.map (bug 687). Added an embedded scalebar which demonstrates that bug 519 is fixed. The test data package is also made more complete by including two fonts from Bitstream's open Vera fonts (bug 694). - Mapscript (SWIG): remove promote and demote methods from layerObj. Use of container's moveLayerUp/moveLayerDown is better, and this brings the module nearer to PHP-Mapscript (bug 692). - mapogr.cpp: Now echos CPLGetLastErrorMsg() results if OGR open fails. - mapraster.c: fixed tile index corruption problem (bug 698) - Mladen Turk's map copying macros in mapcopy.h clean up map cloning and allow for copying of fontset and symbolset. Added cloning tests in python/tests/testCloneMap.py and refactored testing suite (bugs 640 & 701). - Mapscript: removing obsolete python/setup_wnone.py file. - CONFIG MS_NONSQUARE YES now enables non-square pixel mode (mostly for WMS). Changes in mapdraw.c (msDrawMap()) to use the geotransform "hack" to allow non-square pixels. - When using the text/html mime type in a GetFeature request, if the layer's template is not set to a valid file, errors occur. Correction is : the text/html is not advertized by default and will only be advertized if the user has defined "WMS_FEATURE_INFO_MIME_TYPE" "text/html" (bug 736) - Make PHP MapScript's layer->open() produce a PHP Warning instead of a Fatal error (bug 742) - MapServer hash tables are now a structure containing a items pointer to hashObj. See maphash.h for new prototypes of hash table functions. In SWIG mapscript, Map, Layer, and Class metadata are now instances of the new hashTableObj class. fontset.fonts and Map.configoptions are also instances of hashTableObj. The older getMetaData/setMetaData and metadata iterator methods can be deprecated (bug 737). - Mapscript-SWIG: made the arguments of mapObj and layerObj constructors optional. A layerObj can now exist outside of a map and can be added to a mapObj using the insertLayer method. mapObj.removeLayer now returns a copy of the removed Layer rather than an integer (bug 759). - Fixed $map->processTemplate() which was always returning NULL. Bug introduced in version 4.0 in all flavours of MapScript (bug 410) Version 4.2-beta1 (2004-04-17) ------------------------------ - Added support for WMS 1.1.1 in the WMS interface. - Added support for WMS-SLD in client and server mode. - Added support for attribute filters in the WFS interface. - WMS Interface: several fixes to address issues found in running tests against the OGC testsuite. One of the side-effects is that incomplete GetMap requests that used to work in previous versions will produce errors now (see bug 622). - Modified configure scripts to be able to configure/build PHP MapScript using an installed PHP instead of requiring the full source tree. - Added ability to combine multiple WMS connections to the same server into a single request when the layers are adjacent and compatible. (bug 116) - Support POSTed requests without Content-Length set. - Added support for proper classification of non-8bit rasters. - Added support for BYTE rawmode output type. - Added support for multiple bands of output in rawmode. - MySQL joins available - Fixed problems with detection of OGRRegisterAll() with GDAL 1.1.9 in configure due to GDAL's library name change. Fixed a few other minor issues with GDAL/OGR in configure. - Modified configure to disable native TIFF/PNG/JPEG/GIF support by default if GDAL is enabled. You can still enable them explicitly if you like. - Replace wms_style_%s_legendurl, wms_logourl, wms_descriptionurl, wms_dataurl and wms_metadataurl metadata by four new metadata by metadata replaced. The new metadata are called legendurl_width, legendurl_height, legendurl_format, legendurl_href, logourl_width, etc... Old dependancy to the metadata with four value in it , space separated, are not kept. - Implement DataURL, MetadataURL and DescriptionURL metadata in mapcontext.c (bug 523) - PHP MapScript's pasteImage() now takes a hex color value (e.g. 0xrrggbb) for the transparent color instead of a color index. (bug 463) - OGR data sources with relative paths are now checked relative to SHAPEPATH first, and if not found then we try again relative to the mapfile location. (bug 295) - There is a new mapObj parameter called MAXSIZE to control maximum image size to serve via the CGI and WMS interfaces. The default is 2048 as before but it can be changed in the map file now. (bug 435) - Added simple dataset for unit and regression tests (bug 453) - PostGIS: added postresql_NOTICE_HANDLER() sending output via msDebug() and only when layer->debug is set (bug 418) - Added Apache version detection in configure and added non-blocking flag on stderr in msDebug() to work around Apache 2.x bug (bug 458) - MapScript rectObj: added optional bounding value args to constructor and extended rectObj class with a toPolygon method (bug 508). - MapScript pointObj: added optional x/y args to constructor (bug 508). - MapScript colorObj: added optional RGB color value args to colorObj constructor, and extended colorObj class with setRGB, setHex, and toHex methods. The hex methods use hex color strings like '#ffffff' rather than '0xffffff' for compatibility with HTML (bug 509). - MapScript outputFormatObj: extended with a getOption method (bug 510). - MapScript imageObj: added optional mapObj argument to the save method resolving bug 549 without breaking current API. Also added optional driver and filename arguments to constructor which allows imageObj instances to be created with a specified driver or from files on disk (bug 530). Added new code to Python MapScript which extends the filename option to Python file-like objects (bug 550). This means StringIO and urllib's network objects! - MapScript classObj and styleObj: added a new styleObj shadow class and extended classObj with getStyle, insertStyle, and removeStyle methods. MapScript now supports multiple styles for dynamically created classes (bug 548). - MapScript layerObj: added getExtent, getNumFeatures extension methods, allowing getShape to access inline features (bug 562). - Added fixes for AMD64/Linux in configure (bug 565) - Removed OGR_STATIC stuff in configure script that used to allow us to build with OGR statically by pointing to the OGR source tree. That means you can only build with OGR when *installed* as part of GDAL, but that's what everyone is doing these days anyway. - Mapscript outputFormatObj: extended constructor to allow format names, and mapObj methods to append and remove output formats from the outputformatlist (bug 511). - New SWIG mapscript development documentation in the spirit of the PHP-Mapscript readme file, but using reST (bug 576). - Paving way for future changes to SWIG mapscript API with new features enabled by NEXT_GENERATION_API symbol (bug 586). - Added ability to set string member variables to NULL in PHP MapScript (bug 591) - New key iterators for map, layer, and class metadata hash tables (bug 434) and fontset fonts hash table (bug 439). - Fixed potential crash when using nquery with a querymap enabled and some layers have a template set at the layer level instead of inside classes (bug 569). - New CONFIG keyword in the MAP object in a .map file to be used to set external configuration parameters such as PROJ_LIB and control of some GDAL and OGR driver behaviours (bug 619) --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.

Here's what goes on under the hood: the queried layer has its 'filteritem' temporarily set to the 'qitem' from the query method, and its 'filter' temporarily set to the 'qstring'. Then the features are filtered and indexes to the features become the query result set. So yes, you can do a multi-attribute query. For a RDBMS data source, your qstring can be almost any SQL where clause, and for shapefile or OGR sources you can do complicated mapserver expressions like qstring = "([att1] > 0 and [att2] > 0)" I guess my querying HOWTO needs major revision already :) > 3 - i see no performance issues or other technical hurdles that would > prevent the execution by MS of this request - unless actually it is > tied > to how this information gets back into the TEMPLATE object or is used > by > LABELs - both issues i am unclear on (like why a TEMPLATE is > /required/ by > MS for queries) > The template is an artifact from the CGI mode, since that's how the results are delivered.

Your mileage may vary because of differences between Python threads (and the interpreter lock) vs PHP's C (I assume) threads, but MapServer 4.4 has not failed me under heavy loads (JMeter) and is not leaking memory. I think you should go ahead and try it, if you succeed you will become like a godling to PHP mapscript users, and will never have to buy beer at a users meeting again. :) cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From sgillies at FRII.COM Tue Nov 30 09:00:16 2004 From: sgillies at FRII.COM (Sean Gillies) Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 10:00:16 -0700 Subject: Question on queryByAttributes - multiple fields In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Cord, Here's something to try (python example): # execute queryByAttributes ... results = layer.getResults() The 'results' variable will either be a reference to the layer's result set or be NULL if the query returned nothing. The reason why it returned nothing may be found in the mapserver error stack if results == None: error = mapscript.errorObj() if error: print error.code, error.message, error.routine # continue into the stack while 1: error = error.next() if error == None: break else: print error.code, error.message, error.routine Actually, for Python/Java/Ruby, MapServer errors become language exceptions. For Perl, which has no built-in exceptions, users have to program their own error stack inspection. Sean On Nov 30, 2004, at 9:14 AM, Cord Thomas wrote: > Sean, > > Thank you.

Benjamin, This is a bug with the mysql autoconfiguration logic. Just add --without-mysql to the configure line. This should be fixed in CVS though, apparently the fix did not make it into the 1.2.5 version.

Something with ogr. Please see below. --without-ogr worked fine, but I need ogr! I read something about adding s57featuredefns.o into a makefile, but that was already there.

Unfortunatelly I was too busy to spend time on my WFS problem the last couple of hours. Regarding your answer I chanched the string: CONNECTION "http://babyz.uni-muenster.de/wfs/WFS?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&Typename=WLIS_UTM32&" to: CONNECTION "http://babyz.uni-muenster.de?/wfs/WFS?" (you find the whole mapfile at the bottom of my answer) This resulted in the following gml-file which was stored in the /tmp directory: 404 Not Found

Not Found

The requested URL /wfs/wfs was not found on this server.

Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.22 Server at BabyZ.geoinformatik.geo.uni-muenster.de Port 80
Than I chanced the CONNECTION string to: CONNECTION "http://babyz.uni-muenster.de?" This resulted in the message of following gml-file: 405 Method Not Allowed

Method Not Allowed

The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /index.html.

As you mentioned earlier the WFS Server does not seem to be able to cope with the POST request. What does this mean ... and what can I do now? For the first steps with WFS it might be an more promissing way to start with another WFS server which is able to work with POST requests? Would you - Or anybody else - know another WFS server and would also be able to give me the necessary coordinates? many thanks beforehand Karsten (the changed mapfile) MAP NAME "wfs_client" SIZE 500 600 IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255 EXTENT 9000 5500000 1000000 5600000 STATUS ON PROJECTION "init=epsg:4326" END WEB LOG "wfs_client.log" TEMPLATE "/srv/www/cgi-bin/docs/template5.htm" IMAGEPATH /var/tmp/ IMAGEURL tmp END OUTPUTFORMAT NAME PNG DRIVER "GDAL/PNG" MIMETYPE "image/png" IMAGEMODE RGBA EXTENSION "png" END LAYER NAME "WaterLevel" TYPE LINE STATUS ON CONNECTION "http://babyz.uni-muenster.de?"

They are located at . Here is a quick rundown of what is available for support: Outputs: GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, and SWF Inputs: GDAL, OGR, PostGIS, and Shapefile. (SDE and/or Oracle, depending on build type). Servers: WCS, WFS, and WMS Clients: WFS and WMS GDAL formats: NetCDF, JPEG2000, ECW, TIFF, GeoTIFF, & MrSID (plus many more) OGR formats: PostGIS, GML, & ODBC (plus many more) There are 4 build types, and you will need to choose the one that appropriately does what you want with respect to Oracle and SDE as the DLLs required to use those are not freely available. SDE and Oracle builds require your own DLLs. SDE was built against ArcSDE 9.0, and will require the 9.0 DLLs. Oracle was built against the Oracle 9.2 client libraries and will require a 9.2 oci.dll. MapScript Python MapScript for Python 2.3 and Java MapScript for JDK 1.5 are also available at this website in the same 4 configurations. The Java MapScript is known to pass the test cases that exist in CVS, but I am not a Java programmer, so I don't know of the rest of their utility. I'd be interested in hearing reports of how well they work for you. Congrats to all those who helped work on a great release.

Again, i am working with MapServer 4.4.0 and perl SWIG Mapscript on a Linux Machine querying spatial data maintained in PostGIS compiled against PostgreSQL 7.4.x Problem - query a layer using multiple field criteria - could not get results Answer - following is code snippet (please forgive my poor perl - i have never used it before): earlier in code: my $lo = "ME|Knox"; ... my $layerName = "counties"; my $qryFlds="stateid"; my @loa = split(/\|/,$lo); my $qryVals="(stateid='" . $loa[0] . "' and (name='" . $loa[1] . "'))"; my $mapLayer = $map->getLayerByName($layerName); $mapLayer->{status} = $mapscript::MS_ON; my $res = $mapLayer->queryByAttributes($map, $qryFlds, $qryVals, $mapscript::MS_SINGLE); $mapLayer->open(); my $shapeObj = new mapscript::shapeObj($mapscript::MS_SHAPE_POLYGON); my $oRes = $mapLayer->getResults(); if ($oRes->{numresults} > 0) { $shapeObj = $mapLayer->getFeature($oRes->getResult(0)->{shapeindex}); } $mapLayer->close(); return $shapeObj; I battled for hours with the following: my $qryFlds = "stateid,name"; - this you would think is necessary - but doesnt work. various permutations of the $qryVals - setting case (lower, upper), trimming, etc... - the query was right - it was the field parameter that was wrong. the extra parentheses around the two field criteria may not be necessary, but it was all part of my vain attempt to get results... Next - i am not sure i am using the getResults() and getFeature() quite right, but, hey, it works.

I had just started in with MinGW trying to compile all of the dependencies when this message appeared, so you may have saved a lot of hair-pulling. I'm trying the "normal" java build & and the only problem so far is that I got an unresolved dependency on my first try -- your GDAL was compiled with MrSID support & the DLL for it wasn't included in the package. I went out and grabbed the MrSID SDK, though, and now I'm off and running.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. > If I understand your problem correctly, you'd like the layer to show up as you zoom out even if the remote WMS server doesn't allow returning the data at that scale, am I right? Using MINSCALE/MAXSCALE is the right way to indicate to MapServer that the remote server doesn't want to return a valid image outside of that scale range, but unfortunately there is currently no way to tell MapServer that you'd like to still get an image out of those scales. One possible way to do this would be to have MapServer produce a GetMap request internally at a resolution that the remote server will accept (by using fake width/height), and then resample the image it gets from terraserver internally... that's not supported at the moment. You could always file that as an enhancement in bugzilla, ya never know.

Could you please tell us what you get for the values of CC, LD, CFLAGS and PHP_SRC_DIR at the top of mapscript/php3/Makefile? The php_mapscript.so is the last thing that is built by the makefiles, so you could look at the end of the 'make' output for the command that builds it and see if any error message is produced or if you notice anything that could help in figuring what is happening (or not happening).
