please - please - can anybody shed any light on what I am doing wrong?

[Joseph Norris]

Here is what I got from a shpdump:

Shapefile Type: Polygon   # of Shapes: 58

File Bounds: ( 5895561.577, -191512.795,0,0)
         to  ( 8945856.680, 3225756.404,0,0)


so I changed my extent to:

EXTENT  5895561.577 -191512.795 8945856.680 3225756.404

  IMAGETYPE PNG
  SIZE 600 600
  SHAPEPATH "data"
  IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255

I  still get nothing in my browser.


#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);

Also do a shpdump and get the bounds in the projection of the shapefile.

Joseph,

I'm not sure your extents are correct:

EXTENTS xmin ymin xmax ymax

it looks like you have xmin xmax ymin ymax. What to you get for an image
when you use shp2img utility?
