I use the Apache 1.3.31 and the MapServer 4.2 for win32. The web server is running and the MapServer too (when I type: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv? I receive: No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty). After downloading the demo version for the MapServer, I did the relevant changes. When I open the index.html it works, but when I click to the "Basic Application" it doesn't. --> The site can't be displayed. Can anybody help me and tell me what I did wrong or what the problem is? Additionally I habe downloaded and installed the PHP and the PHP Mapscript. Do I really need it to install it seperatly or is it integrated in the version of the MapServer. What changes do I have to make?

I, think, technically because a shape is not actually defined as a polygon it could actually be composed of many polygons. However there are many on this list more qualified to answer this. For #2. If the records in the attribute table you are trying to relate have a 1:1 relationship with the shapes in the shapefile then you may be able to add the shape index to the attribute table as a sequential number If the attribute records are loaded in the same sequence as the shapes occur. The more probable solution is have the ID as a field in the DBF that is associated with the SHP file and use the shape index to extract the ID from the DBF and then extract the attributes from the table.

We have worked out a fix for this from the client side. I am running a WMS server and we are using it to create rastered tiles of the world. Then we browse those images via our web interface.

Message-ID: Hello, I'm having a display issue that I need to work out. I am wondering the best way to go about it. Here's the issue. I have an ESRI shape file with US roads. In this file, the US highways are listed as, "United States Highway 400". When you have a lot of those on the map, it gets very messy. I would like to replace "United States Highway 400" with "US 400" or even "US Hwy 400". Is it best to change the .dbf file? Or can I do this on the fly? I have no idea how to do this on the fly, but here are my thoughts on the dbf file. Use shapelib to open and read the dbf file, read in the values, compare, change if needed, then spit out to a new dbf file. Currently I would work at writing something to do this, after much reading of the documentation. Has anyone done this before? I suspect there might be a utility to do just this type of thing.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: You can do this in Perl using Geo::ShapeFile or Geo::Shapelib which might be the easiest way to do this. Your plan below is exactly how to do it, but Perl might be easier to write if you are familiar with it. I am not aware of any generic utilities that do this. -Steve W.

Please not that this does not concern PHP mapscript, only the SWIG-based flavors. Some have asked about Perl exceptions. SWIG's exception library for Perl uses croak(). Each method call will peek into the mapserver error stack, and if an error is found, execution will stop and Perl will croak with the mapserver error message.

Michael, Whew, I think this needs to go into the FAQ! Try it without pdf support. The PDFLib 6.0 includes a copy of libtiff that conflicts with other instances. This is almost certainly causing your problem. Also, please update the appropriate wiki topic to warn about this or to just not include the pdf step anymore. Note, the PDFLib maintainers assure me they will soon issue a maintenance release with this issue corrected.

You might want to try a simpler / more direct test to verify that and then try to narrow down PHP related issues.

This way, the layer will not be displayed, unless you specifically mention it in the url. Jan From j.l.h.hartmann at UVA.NL Sat Oct 2 06:06:40 2004 From: j.l.h.hartmann at UVA.NL (Jan Hartmann) Date: Sat, 2 Oct 2004 15:06:40 +0200 Subject: center map on x,y coordinates In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Elisabeth, There are several reasons why this MapFile cannot work with this URL: - The layer's STATUS is ON, which means that it has to be added to the URL to be visible ("http:?/..&layer=strasse). Only layers with STATUS DEFAULT are always displayed. - the EXTENT is wrong. EXTENT should be set as "x1 y1 x2 y2", where x2 and y2 are both higher than x1/y1. Your y2 is smaller than y1. - the MAPXY parameter seems to have switched x/y compared with the EXTENT. - You give a scale of 20000 in the URL, but you limit the layer between scales 500 and 1000. This means the layer will not be displayed. - The expression in the CLASS statement will only select streets with an ID of exactly *one* letter. If you want to select all streets, the expression has to be /.*/ - Are you sure your streets are polygons? Perhaps you could start with a rudimentary MapFile: set STATUS DEFAULT, comment out MAXSCALE and MINSCALE and set the CLASS expression to /.*/. Then call this with only "map=map.map&mode=map" in the URL. If you still don't see anything, check if the extent of the vector file matches that of the MapFile and if its type is polygon. (e.g. by using ogrinfo). Also try giving the complete path to the shapefile (as specified here it should be: /..../cgi-bin/data/vector/strasse.shp). As soon as you can see a picture of the whole map, you can try to center it on a given coordinate. My way would be to recompute the extent. Say, you want a map centered around 1500/337000. A 200*200m map around this point can ge generated by an extent of 1400 336900 1600 337100. In my experience this is much easier to compute than MAPXY and SCALE.

Ideally you should project *both* into an appropriate projection for the whole region covered. You can look up the available projections in a good atlas of the region you are interested in. Of course, this will take even more time. As a rule, it is not a good idea to let MapServer do projections on the fly. Once you know your target projection, us gdalwarp to project both base images into projected ones. Gdalwarp can even combine them into one, and tile it in smaller tiles for efficient rendering by MapServer. It is really an amazing program.

Jan Hartmann schrieb: Elisabeth, There are several reasons why this MapFile cannot work with this URL: - The layer's STATUS is ON, which means that it has to be added to the URL to be visible ("http:?/..&layer=strasse). Only layers with STATUS DEFAULT are always displayed. - the EXTENT is wrong. EXTENT should be set as "x1 y1 x2 y2", where x2 and y2 are both higher than x1/y1. Your y2 is smaller than y1. - the MAPXY parameter seems to have switched x/y compared with the EXTENT. - You give a scale of 20000 in the URL, but you limit the layer between scales 500 and 1000. This means the layer will not be displayed. - The expression in the CLASS statement will only select streets with an ID of exactly *one* letter. If you want to select all streets, the expression has to be /.*/ - Are you sure your streets are polygons? Perhaps you could start with a rudimentary MapFile: set STATUS DEFAULT, comment out MAXSCALE and MINSCALE and set the CLASS expression to /.*/. Then call this with only "map=map.map&mode=map" in the URL. If you still don't see anything, check if the extent of the vector file matches that of the MapFile and if its type is polygon. (e.g. by using ogrinfo). Also try giving the complete path to the shapefile (as specified here it should be: /..../cgi-bin/data/vector/strasse.shp). As soon as you can see a picture of the whole map, you can try to center it on a given coordinate. My way would be to recompute the extent. Say, you want a map centered around 1500/337000. A 200*200m map around this point can ge generated by an extent of 1400 336900 1600 337100. In my experience this is much easier to compute than MAPXY and SCALE.

Your MapServer output looks like you're using the tile index layer as a POLYGON layer, and doesn't seem to match up with the map file fragment you post (i.e. there's no TYPE POLYGON layer with labels there). The filenames that are appearing as labels look a little funny - are you sure those are the correct filenames? Also, you're causing all black pixels to be displayed as white, which won't "remove" them. You may want to use the OFFSITE statement to cause black pixels to be transparent, letting overlapped data show through. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com At 02:18 PM 10/4/2004, Dylan Beaudette wrote: >Greetings! > >I have a pile of DOQQ images that i would like to use with my map, and wanted >to use gdalindex to setup an efficient way for these images to be loaded. > >note that everything is in the same projection. > >after running: >gdaltindex doqq_index.shp *.tiff > >i am left with a shapfile with entries for all of the images.... seems ok. > >...looking at the output in QGIS: >http://169.237.35.250/~dylan/temp/gdalindex_problems.jpg >...all seems fine (except for a few mssing images) > >however mapserver is not rendering the tiff files based on the index: >http://169.237.35.250/~dylan/temp/tile_index.png > >here is my layer defs in my map file: >----------------------------snip---------------------------- >LAYER > NAME "DOQQ_index" > TYPE RASTER > TILEINDEX "imagery/doqq/tiled/doqq_index.shp" > TILEITEM "Location" > > #DATA "imagery/doqq/tiled/o38122f1nw.tif.temp.tiff" > STATUS DEFAULT > > #remove the black (no_data) pixels! > CLASSITEM "[pixel]" > CLASS > EXPRESSION ([pixel] == 0 ) > COLOR 255 255 255 > END > > #render the rest of the pixel values! > CLASS > NAME "DOQQ" > END >END >----------------------------snip---------------------------- > > >any ideas>? > >thanks in advance!! > >Dylan Beaudette >Soil Science Grad Group >University of California at Davis From sobomsawin at KASSINI.COM Mon Oct 4 11:53:31 2004 From: sobomsawin at KASSINI.COM (Skweda O'Bomsawin) Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2004 14:53:31 -0400 Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] QueryByAttributes with postgresql In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Claudio, Take a look at the case of your column name...

The mapserver output looks a litte funny because I am displaying the tile index as a polygon layer, so that I know that it actually exists, and is projected corectly. The labels do look like strange file names, but they are indeed correct... when i attempt to access the rasters individually: DATA "imagery/doqq/tiled/o38122f1nw.tif.temp.tiff" ...it works fine: http://169.237.35.250/~dylan/temp/tile_index_with_1_raster.jpg ...but the rasters are not loaded via the TILEINDEX method. here is the updated layer definition (thanks for the OFFSITE idea!!) ----------------snip------------------ LAYER NAME "DOQQ_index" TYPE RASTER TILEINDEX "imagery/doqq/tiled/doqq_index.shp" TILEITEM "Location" #DATA "imagery/doqq/tiled/o38122f1nw.tif.temp.tiff" STATUS DEFAULT #ignore black pixels (treat as transparent) OFFSITE 0 0 0 #render the rest of the pixel values!

For the moment, you might as well comment out OFFSITE and your CLASS block to see if either of those makes any difference. I doubt you need that CLASS block in there anyway. Here is a simple tileindex layer def that works for me: LAYER NAME "drg_index" STATUS ON TYPE RASTER OFFSITE 0 0 0 TILEINDEX "/a1/data/or/shp/drg_index.shp" TILEITEM "location" END Did you compile mapserver using the --with-gdal and --without-tiff options?

Steve >>> Wim Blanken 10/03/04 9:40 AM >>> Hello list, We've had some problems using the CGI Mapserver one-to-many join function to a dbf file. In the wiki there is a good introduction to this functionality but it seems not to work perfectly with the 4.2.x edition of mapserver. I did everything according to this document but I got a mapserver error (mapserv.exe error). After an hour or so I came to the conclusion that the sub-template (the template with the joined data) should not contain carriage returns. So if you type it all in once sentence it works very good but if you use an enter in the code the error is generated. I did not test this on linux...... Is this a bug?

There seem to have been alot of problems with paths and tileindexes in 4.2 and later but I am not aware of these issues being confirmed as bugs and filed as such. In particular, I would like to ensure none of these problems exist in 4.4 when we release it. We might also be able to roll fixes into 4.2.4 or later.

The answer is that MapServer does not support .net files. You might want to look at the "denef" utility which can convert the files to .ppm files which can be used in MapServer (with GDAL) or further converted to other formats easily. http://www.cheeseplant.org/~daniel/pages/denef.html 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 ed at TOPOZONE.COM Tue Oct 5 08:39:55 2004 From: ed at TOPOZONE.COM (Ed McNierney) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 11:39:55 -0400 Subject: gdalindex question In-Reply-To: <4162ACA6.8060808@pobox.com> Message-ID: Frank - It's entirely possible that I haven't been looking, but I'm not aware of a clear specification on how relative paths are SUPPOSED to work.

I apologize if that's already been done and I've overlooked it, but I'm not aware of it. Ed, In the code substantial change were made (for 4.0 I think, or possibly 4.2) to use msBuildPath() to build paths to files. It basically "tries" to find the file relative to the shapepath, or failing that relative to the map or failing that taking it as an absolute path. And there is an additional version for taking names in tile indexes relative to the tile index file I think. So, I think, at the least real files should work if accessed relative to the SHAPEPATH location. That should include tileindexes. If at least that much isn't working then I would like to know.

Frank, A few minutes ago I tried reverting to using a TILEINDEX relative to SHAPEPATH, and it's working fine now. I'm using 4.2.3. It must have been an earlier version that was only working with absolute paths (one of the earlier 4.2.x releases, I think). --Dylan From ed at TOPOZONE.COM Tue Oct 5 09:35:49 2004 From: ed at TOPOZONE.COM (Ed McNierney) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 12:35:49 -0400 Subject: gdalindex question In-Reply-To: <4162C2DD.5070307@pobox.com> Message-ID: Frank - In my experience things work fine relative to SHAPEPATHs. I suspect that most of the "strange" behavior reported is in cases without SHAPEPATHs, and it is possible that the chief problem is the lack of a easy-to-find algorithm for locating files (including TILEINDEX-referenced files) for new users. - Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Warmerdam To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 11:50:53 -0400 Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] gdalindex question > Ed McNierney wrote: > > Frank - > > > > It's entirely possible that I haven't been looking, but I'm not aware of a > clear specification on how relative paths are SUPPOSED to work.

My SHAPEPATH directive was pointing to the base of all my other data, which of course did not point to my image files. I am not sure if this is correct, but my map file now contains a SHAPEPATH directive pointing to the folder that contains the raster images referenced by the tile index, and all of my other data is referenced via absolute paths.

My understanding is also that ERMapper will be releasing the source to the ECW SDK once their long running ECW SDK 3.0 beta is complete. At that point it should be straight forward to build the SDK and GDAL+ECW on Linux. I don't know then that will happen, or even if I have misconstrued their intentions.

I havn't tried this but I have used javascript to process the sent parameters in a legend template and I would think this is possible, though time consuming.

I think the XML would work just fine for me. I'll give that a go.

Message-ID: Hello I am experiencing problems with the query-methods of phpmapscript. I always get the errormessage: "Error in msQueryByPoint(): No matching record(s) found." My querycode is: $MapObj->queryByRect($myPixelRectObj); and $MapObj->queryByPoint($myPointObj, MS_SINGLE, 0); I controlled already the coordinates of $myPixelRectObj which are ok. The layer which I query is default off in the mapfile, but turned on later dynamically. It is displayed correctly in my map. I use the rosa applet to interact with the user. When I change my code for the pointquery to the following: $myLayer = $MapObj->getLayerByName("Points"); $myLayer->set("status",1); $myLayer->queryByPoint($myPointObj, MS_SINGLE, 0); I get a result. But if I comment out the line $myLayer->set("status",1); I get also the above mentioned error. The query with queryByRect just won't work with this workaround. My question is now: How do I get my queries working with the $map Mapobject? Does anyone see a reason, why the layerquery works for point, but not for rect? Is there a particular order in building the map when I want to query? Like first draw the map then query? Make layers active (status = on) then query? But they are already drawn on the queried map?! Why can I not query the mapobject but a single layer? I work with Apache 2.0.50 on Windows XP Home and php 4.3.8.

Layer->query queries only one layer, map->query queries all active layers? I want to use map->query to query all active layers in my map instead of cycling through each layer and query it one by one. And why does $myLayer = $MapObj->getLayerByName("Points"); $myLayer->set("status",1); $myLayer->queryByRect($myPixelRectObj); return also the error "Error in msQueryByRect(): No matching record(s) found" while the point query works? Quote: ... the location is not in Pixel in this case instead it is in map coords I converted the pixel coordinates to map coordinates with a function similar to the function found in the gmap demo. There by the way they use also $map->query ... which does not find a result in my code (see above) I am rather helpless here. As I searched the newsgroup archives, there seem to be a lot of people using $map->query in their code. I wonder if I have to "prepare" the map somehow to query it, like setting all layers to active or something similar in advance.

I'm looking to MapServer. Since 1 month I spent my time to learn it and test it in some situations, such as rendering png, export WMS map and feature, rendering SVG map. In my test I see the best performance achieved by using shapefile, but I have to use layer from different sources, also in the same time, like ArcSDE or Oracle Spatial. On rendering pngs, my benchmark from a shapefile (260 Mbyte, 198401 features) hits a 7,62 seconds spent to load all features. I know, this isn't a real-world application, but i'm still in test-mode, however it's very good. With ArcSDE the same layer tooks 40,73 seconds ( ArcIMS ~47 seconds). GREAT! But with Oracle Spatial, the native support on MapServer 102,1 seconds and the OGR 119,51!!! Why? When I compared the rendering time of a png and a SVG from the same layer (352.708 byte and 3 features, maybe a real-world problem, isn't it?) I saw a 0,116 seconds for the png and 7,034 for SVG (!), what do I have to do to speed up the SVG creation? On "rendering" SVGs, with a query on a QUERY layer like an example found on ML, from Shapefile, ArcSDE and Oracle Spatial (2,7 Mbyte, 4886 features) the time was respectively : 3,104 seconds, 19,110 seconds and about 11 minutes !!! With top I see the CGI resources during an Oracle Spatial query: it reachs about 700Mbyte of Physical Memory and 2,2 Gbyte of Stack..... what's happened? Using ogr2ogr it tooks 3 seconds to create a shapefile from Oracle Spatial table containing the 260 Mbyte layer! with this I can bypass the problem converting from Oracle to Shapefile, and using this as the QUERY Layer ( in example above, this kind of application tooks 3,104 seconds (SVG rendering) plus the time for conversion (milliseconds?), instead 11 minutes!). But it's a very poor solution, isn't it? What do I have to do to solve this performance problem?

As others already suggested, are you certain the layer is turned on before the query? It sounds like you have verified that the query coordinates being used are in map coordinates vs pixel coordinates.? Could it be a projection issue or is all the data in the same projection?

It's gonna be a really huge file during this process, around 18 GB, does this work? Could someone give me an example of this gdal combine command? I can't find it. How many overview steps should I build, is there a rule of thumb? thanks joerg From dylan at IICI.NO-IP.ORG Wed Oct 6 10:21:09 2004 From: dylan at IICI.NO-IP.ORG (Dylan Beaudette) Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2004 10:21:09 -0700 Subject: tile and overview In-Reply-To: <4164243C.5060502@gmx.net> Message-ID: Hi -- try the command gdal_merge.py: Usage: gdal_merge.py [-o out_filename] [-of out_format] [-co NAME=VALUE]* ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?[-ps pixelsize_x pixelsize_y] [-separate] [-v] [-pct] ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?[-ul_lr ulx uly lrx lry] [-n nodata_value] [-init value] ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?input_files note that you have to compile gdal with python support for this to work.

I always compile GDAL using --with-libtiff=internal and --with-geotiff=internal. Actually, I'm not sure if those declarations are necessary, or whether GDAL has tiff support built-in by default.

The thing to remember is that gdalwarp can warp *into* an existing output file. In that case, all settings of that file (extent, pixel size, projection etc) are conserved, and the content of the input file is copied to the appropriate locations. Gdalwarp does not need to read complete rasters into memory, so you can tile as large a region as you wish. So if you use the following gdalwarp parameters -te xmin ymin xmax ymax -tr xres yres you can create as many tiles as you like and fill them with the input files. A brute force method would be to warp all input files into all output files; a somewhat more clever one would be to check for the extent of the input files first and only warp them into the relevant output tiles. As to the number of overviews: my simple rule of thumb is to resample in factors of two: a 10000*10000 raster gets overviews at 5000*5000, 2500*2500, 1250*1250 and 625*625. There should be no need to go below that. I tile all files in tiles of 2000*2000, although this number is perhaps a bit too small. I would appreciate to hear from others how they do this. Perhaps this functionality of gdalwarp could be explained a bit more in detail in the manual page. For now it only says: "Mosaicing into an existing output file is supported if the output file already exists". This is really a very important and powerful aspect of the program and it is very easy to overlook this line. At least that is what I did for a considerable length of time.

I really don't know why the method has remained for so long in a non-working state, but clearly people have not been using it. Otherwise the typemaps would exist. I think that most users use a better templating system in their applications. That would be HTML::Template or Mason for Perl, PSP or Zope page templates for Python. I'm sure that Java has a wide array of templating libraries, and strongly suggest that you use these. They are more powerful and flexible than Mapserver's templating and because they have larger user bases, will be better tested and have fewer bugs. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From spiff88gis at HOTMAIL.COM Thu Oct 7 07:15:19 2004 From: spiff88gis at HOTMAIL.COM (Brian Johnson) Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 09:15:19 -0500 Subject: [OT] Landsat WMS not working?

MapServer 4.2.4 is going to be released soon. Has some major fixes for Java mapscript, and also for querying. It re-exposes the resultcache so that users can access the spatial bounds of a set of results layer.query(...) results = layer.resultcache bounds = results.bounds # a mascript.rectObj This release will be out within a week and i strongly recommend that you upgrade when it is available.

I'm not clear on exactly what he plans or how he will expose it for use. Hopefully he will respond as well. The OGR library has also recently added support for a variety of GEOS operations. Currently these are exposed to the OGR Python bindings, but not to the OGR PHP bindings which are not really being actively maintained. OGR can also consume GML files and return them as OGR features on which you can invoke GEOS operations. I will however note that the OGR GML support is a bit flakey. It might be fine if you are working against well known WFS or WMS servers with well behaved GML. The GML handling in OGR includes support for whole GML files as a layer of features as well as low level support for turning a single GML geometry definition into an OGR geometry object. If you are interested in having the OGR PHP bindings extended to support the GEOS operations, we could talk about that. It is possible that DM Solutions would be willing to do the update (they wrote those bindings), or I might even get past my current PHP phobia and do it myself. Or better yet, someone in your organization! Another possibility would be to switch some of your work to Python, but I know that mixed scripting environments can be quite a mess. One final note, I understand the there is work going on for an AsGML() operator for PostGIS. I am not sure if they are planning a corresponding operator to read in a GML geometry and convert it to PostGIS format. If they did that, you could stay focused on doing the operations within PostGIS.

Frank added GEOS support to OGR recently. It should be possible to extend the php_ogr wrappers to wrap the ogr functions that talk to GEOS. You could then use OGR to open any suitable format, perform GEOS operations like buffer, union, etc and then write the results out to a supported format. It would also be an interesting exercise to add GEOS support into php_mapscript if OGR is built with GEOS support. It should be possible to use mapscript shapeObjs with OGR/GEOS and perform suitable operations that way. The php_ogr stuff is available on www.maptools.org/dl/php_ogr.

Nothing functional just a setup of how this will work. Basically I propose extending the standard shapeObj to contain a GEOS geometry. Then I have to write the code to go between GEOS geometries and shapeObj's. The wrappers for the GEOS functionality then become really easy. You'll see things like msGEOSBufferShape and so on. You'll never see the GEOS geometry and will deal with shapeObj's. That way you can draw or use those features easily with existing MapServer code. I also plan to make use of the PROCESSING block as a mechanism to trigger processing. For example you might do something like: PROCESSING BUFFER 500 END Which would trigger all features to be buffered before being released to MapServer or MapScript. MapScript would then gain a whole bunch of geospatial analysis methods attached to shapeObjs. That's what I'm planning anyways. Now just to find the time to write the converters. WKT will likely be too slow for this purpose.

Regardless of how powerful the external tool is one will still have to write 100's of lines of code to do what MapServer templates already do. Seems stupid to require folks to do that. I can't believe there aren't standard typemaps in SWIG to convert arrays of strings to char **. Seems that just about everyone would want that. My vote would be to file a bug and get this fixed... BTW The names and values arrays are web application parameter lists. Templates should run ok without them for the most part. What would be lost is pass through substitutions like [map].

I really don't know why the method has remained for so long in a non-working state, but clearly people have not been using it. Otherwise the typemaps would exist. I think that most users use a better templating system in their applications. That would be HTML::Template or Mason for Perl, PSP or Zope page templates for Python. I'm sure that Java has a wide array of templating libraries, and strongly suggest that you use these. They are more powerful and flexible than Mapserver's templating and because they have larger user bases, will be better tested and have fewer bugs. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From mathieuparent at INFONIE.FR Thu Oct 7 15:20:26 2004 From: mathieuparent at INFONIE.FR (Mathieu Parent) Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 00:20:26 +0200 Subject: Perhaps OFF-TOPIC: how to query dbase files Message-ID: On windows I use the "MicrosoftDBase ODBC Driver" to make sql SELECT queries.

If you merge two files with overlapping parts, the second one will hide everything from the first one in the overlapping part. THe same goes for gdalwarp, only here you have more possibilities to set the extent etc of the output file. Actually, I'm not sure if gdalwarp couldn't do everything that gdal_merge.py does now. gdal_merge.py has a few extra options, but couldn't these easily be added to gdalwarp? In that case we would have a general merging and warping tool without dependencies on python.

I tried to allow WMSBrowser.widget.php to obtain the mapobject's extent (minx,miny,maxx,maxy) every time after the zoomIn (map_navigator.php). For example, I can get the map's new extent in the map_navigator.php after the zoomrectangle: $oMap->zoomrectangle($oPixelRect, $oMap->width, $oMap->height, $oCurrentExt); However, it seems the map extent in WMSBrowser is delayed after the map_navigator.php. That is, in both functions of InitDefaults() and ParseURL(), when the map extent is obtained, the extent is acutally the previous zoomed extent. Is there a way that I can get the extent from the WMSBrowser? Thank you very much!

Blaine, As long as you have spatial information available on the virtual layer (for instance by picking x and y columns from the original table) you should be able to do spatial queries against the virtual layer. Tracking through the code it looks like you might get this error if you did a query and got no results back. Is that possible? Or, if you query results had no spatial information.

I heard somewhere that I need a Template to query, but I don't really know how to do it, and also I think that in mapscript is not necessary isn't it? I thought that it is only for mapsever cgi. One other thing to consider, is that the "$point", doesn't exactly matches one coordinate point in the layer "puntosMunicipios", that's because I used "queryByPoint" to find the nearest point.

(DOQ from TerraServer.) With the help of Google and the online examples I have been able to hack together a setup with php and mapscript where I can display a DOQ from TerraServer as a raster layer. The image is centered on a given lat/long. Panning and zooming (out) will be allowed from this starting point. (map projection is in latlong and map units are in decimal degrees). My problem is I don't seem to be able to calculate extents from my center point that allow me to get all the way in to the 1 meter per pixel resolution that should be available in the TerraServer image. I can get close, bu I seem to either fall a little short of the desired resolution or end up too far in and beyond the scale at which MapServer can render the image. I currently have minscale in the WMS layer set to a very low level so it will not interfere with my testing. I guess my questions are: I'm computing my extents using estimations of lat/long offsets from center that will get me "in the ball park" for the resolution I want. Have I missed some facility in mapscript that will calculate extents based upon a desired center point and scale? How might I properly calculate the extents based upon a center point such that I can take advantage of the maximum resolution available from the DOQ in the raster layer without exceeding the display limits? Thanks for any help in advance.

It doesn't make sense to think about the "geographic" projection as being "1-meter" resolution, since the image has been warped and distorted from the original UTM into a different projection. The image quality will degrade when that is done, and the pixels in the new image are NOT a "square" number of meters high and wide. Their width and height are the same number of *degrees*, one of longitude and one of latitude. All of Microsoft's TerraServer DOQs are JPEG-compressed to begin with, so some data loss is inevitable. But you should be able to get good image quality when requesting 1-meter resolution in a UTM projection. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean Kelly To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Sun, 10 Oct 2004 14:58:11 -0400 Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Display DOQ at max resolution > Hi all, > > I'm working on a setup where the initial display is a WMS layer.

I have some layers that are turned on or off through the URL in cgi mapserver by specifying the name of the group they are in, as in "&layers=groupname+otherlayer...". However the REQUIRE keyword doesn't appear to work either in these layers or in any other layer that's requiring one of them. Here's an example: URL: "...&layers=thegroup..." LAYER GROUP "thegroup" NAME "firstlayer" STATUS off rest of layer definition... END LAYER REQUIRES "[firstlayer]" TYPE annotation STATUS default rest of layer definition END In this example, both layers work fine independently of one another, but I can't get the annotation layer to respond to the firstlayer. I've tried the REQUIRES expression with "[firstlayer]" and with "[thegroup]" and neither do anything. It's like it's ignored. I haven't found any bug report on this so I'm wondering what I'm missing.

Although the website has not yet been updated, the download is available from: http://cvs.gis.umn.edu/dist/mapserver-4.2.4.tar.gz So, what makes this version worth downloading and installing? Easy UNIX/Linux Java mapscript compilation with testable examples, repaired pixmap symbol transparency for 24-bit output images, and OWS and SDE bug fixes. If you intend to use MapServer within long running or multi- threaded processes, you *must* upgrade. Many memory leaks have been plugged, and several potential threading problems have been found and eliminated. Here is the top of the change log: Version 4.2.4 (2004-10-10) -------------------------- - 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). - New and improved Java mapscript build provided by unicoletti at prometeo.it, and examples contributed by Y.K. Choo (bug 876). - Fixed bug 863: Output MapContext parameters (SRS and DataURL) in the order required by the spec. - searchImageCache() in mapgd.c now checks all three style colors before using a cached brush image (bug 868). - Fixed bug 857: Fix msDecodeHTMLEntities to not skip characters after each decoding. - Fixed bug 834: SE_ROW_ID in SDE not initialized for unregistered SDE tables Thanks to all that reported, confirmed, and fixed these issues!

Thank you very much You can create data with ArcMap and save it in a format that MapServer can read. I think can also export data from a layout into a georeferenced image, but I haven't heard of anyone taking a mxd Arcmap document into MapServer.

(http://www.alta4.com/de/produkte/download.html) a another but complicated way is a graphic program (if you have) with dxf-export and diagram building functionality where you can create your charts manually. then import in gis, georeference the shapes/dxf, reclass the parts of the charts with your id?s manually. this is only practicable with a small dataset. I would prefer Tyler?s suggestion with a georeferend chart raster layer. hope that helps.

The "geographic" projection has MANY limitations, including the fact that it badly distorts areas far from the Equator. But all projections have strong points and weak points - that's why there are several to choose from. You should try to do some research on what a good output projection would be. If you're particularly interested in northern Europe, then look for the projections that are popular in those countries. You can then change the MAP-level PROJECTION, UNITS, and EXTENT to reflect the *output* projection you want, while leaving the LAYER definitions alone, since those do accurately describe the *input* projection of your source data. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Jackson To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Tue, 12 Oct 2004 13:23:09 -0400 Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] newbie needs help correcting distorted map > Hi All, > I've just completed the tutorial, and tried to hack together my first > maps, but they seem to be distorted, especially the northern countries. > I tried the epsg 4326, and many others, just to experiment, but none of > them really had much effect on the output.

I'd like to beef up my Mapserver applications with some geoprocessing functionality - buffers at present, other functions will follow. For now I am playing with PostGIS and having great sucess, IF my features are all stored in the database. What I'd like to be able to do though, is take a feature from WMS getFeatureInfo or WFS and be able to buffer that. As a test of this, I took the GML from a getFeatureInfo request and parsed it manually to be a WKT string. Then used PostGIS to run the buffer. Apart from slight precision differences, it appeared to be close to what PostGIS would have done with it's own feature (the WMS request was done against the same feature through MapServer). Now that I confirmed this is all possible, what I am missing is that I'd like to be able to a.. do the conversion from GML to WKT with some script/library b.. do this with a GML stream c.. ultimately do this without PostGIS database dependancy. I figure that GEOS can do the geometry format conversions, is this right? Has anyone written a library for linux/windows that will let me talk to it with PHP? I'm prodding these lists in hopes of finding out what else is going on out there in this area. It would be fabulous if this was all built into Mapserver, but from what I can tell, it's just a thought right now. Thanks!!

The reason is that php_mapscript.so is compiled with the system GD. If your PHP is compiled with its own bundled GD then you end up with two slightly different copies of the same library with the same conflicting function and data structure names. Depending on execution context, functions from one of from the other can be used, which can lead to unpredictable behaviors or crashes. The problem you ran into here was a good demonstration of that: php_mapscript (compiled with system GD) ended up drawing its symbols using a function from the PHP bundled GD.

Just "--with-proj" would do as well since your proj appears to be installed in the default system directories and MapServer's configure will look there by default. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette dmorissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ From dmorissette at DMSOLUTIONS.CA Tue Oct 12 11:33:09 2004 From: dmorissette at DMSOLUTIONS.CA (Daniel Morissette) Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2004 14:33:09 -0400 Subject: building Mapserver on Gentoo: with-httpd In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Jeff Kowalczyk wrote: > I'm trying to build mapserver on Gentoo linux, in preparation to attempt > an ebuild installation package for it.

The reason why --with-httpd was added was due to a bug in Apache2 that was fixed in Apache 2.0.49. In your case you have 2.0.52 so you shouldn't need it. For the benefits of the list archive, the --with-httpd argument expects the path to the httpd executable. I'm guessing that on Gentoo it seems to be /usr/sbin/apache2, so if you needed it then the argument would have been --with-httpd=/usr/sbin/apache2.

I think it's something that will need to be worked on, I have entered a bug so that we don't forget: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=956 I'm hoping that iconv would have some flags that MapServer could use to decide if it needs to reverse the strings or not for a given encoding and we could solve the problem this way... that's just a guess though, I haven't looked into this yet.

The European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) maintains a database of projections with a unique integer ID associated with each (the "EPSG code") and several products (including MapServer) support this "shorthand" way of describing projections. "EPSG:4326" is EPSG code 4326, which is the "decimal degrees, WGS84 datum" projection. If YOU don't know what projection you want, it's hard for any of us to know. It sounds like you might be best served by just living with the "geographic" projection you're using for a while, until you better understand what you want. Read the MapServer documentation to learn more about extents. Normally, a MapServer request will include the extents (in the coordinates of the output map projection). Finally, please ALWAYS reply to the group. This allows others to participate in the discussion (the first person to answer your first question may not know the answers to all your questions), allows others to learn from the information so the question doesn't need to be asked again, puts the answers in the archives, and prevents the first person to reply from feeling like they've acquired a personal lifetime support commitment just because they answered one question . - Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Jackson To: Ed McNierney Sent: Tue, 12 Oct 2004 18:22:06 -0400 Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] newbie needs help correcting distorted map > Ed McNierney wrote: > > >Mike - > > > >It sounds like nothing's wrong at all, except your choice of output projection. > The "geographic" projection has MANY limitations, including the fact that it > badly distorts areas far from the Equator.

This allows others to participate in the discussion (the first person to answer your first question may not know the answers to all your questions), allows others to learn from the information so the question doesn't need to be asked again, puts the answers in the archives, and prevents the first person to reply from feeling like they've acquired a personal lifetime support commitment just because they answered one question . > > Hehe. Sorry about that. Making a personal reply to you was not my intention; I didn't even realize that I had done it until reading your note. Why isn't the list address in the Reply-To field? I am used to mailing lists where you click reply, and it goes to the list, e.g. the mailing list manager sets Reply-To properly.

In Gentoo, the Apache httpd daemon is called apache (for versions 1.3.x) or apache2 (for versions 2.0.x). So, the argument would be "--with- httpd=/usr/sbin/apache2" Good luck! -Perry N.

The problem comes in with the wms_name, it has a ":" in it that seems to get translated to "%3A". My layer name is "Soundings:Fusion" for instance and the WMS server looks for the ":" and won't convert "%3A" back to the colon.

SCSI disks, spinning as fast as possible, and an IO subsystem can can handle them, will be the most effective thing you can buy. 2 - After that, lots of memory will allow your operating system to cache important pieces of data (like indexes!) in memory, again speeding up your system. 3 - Tuning your database to take advantage of the memory, for PostgreSQL, check out http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/Tidbits/perf.html effective_cache_size is an oft-overlooked parameter, in addition to the popular shared_buffers parameter. 4 - CPU speed can help in the final render process, if you are rendering complex enough maps. 5 - Check your map file for performance bottlenecks. Are there times you are drawing 10000 high res features when 100 low res features would provide the same effect? (We are going to commit some patches for 4.4 that put layer timings into the DEBUG logs to make this optimization process easier.)

MapServer is required to encode any unsafe character (see RFC-1738) in the GetMap URL. The ':' is a reserved character, and RFC-1738 says: "Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL." This means that the ':' is required to be encoded in the context of the LAYERS parameter in a GetMap URL. Even if it wasn't required to encode the character, it would still be legal to encode it: "On the other hand, characters that are not required to be encoded (including alphanumerics) may be encoded within the scheme-specific part of a URL, as long as they are not being used for a reserved purpose." There is not much you can do about this other than trying to have the server fixed.

Message-ID: Bob, you could also try just creating a spatial index for the shapefile using shptree. 2 minutes looks like there is no existing spatial index and more or less all features of the shapefile are read all the time. Maybe this index already speeds up things sufficiently. Instead of splitting up the contour lines into seperate shapefiles that have then to be put together with a shapeindex, it might be an alternative to intersect the contour lines with a regular grid. E.g. like the sheets for topographic maps or a rectangular one with arbitrary extent you create on your own. That way very long lines with huge amount of vertices are split up into smaller chunks. The time to read such features is much less than for the large ones, but you still have everything in a single shapefile. If you want just display the values as integer, it might be the easiest way to add a new integer column in the dbf file and copy the values from the float column. And then use the new integer column for the labeling. armin > All, > Well I tried out a composite file before asking this question. > I just ran a 550+meg SHP file for our Contour data.

In-Reply-To: <416DA470.2000506@ci.stpaul.mn.us> Message-ID: Bob - I'm not entirely sure from your reply that you understood that Armin's first suggestion is to simply use shptree to create a spatial index for your single shapefile. In the directory where your shapefile is stored, simply use the command shptree shapefile.shp and a file with the same base name and the extension .qix will be created. Then you can run your test again - creating the index will just take a few moments and you don't have to do anything with your data organization. I'm assuming, by the way, that your test request is actually displaying only a small portion of the entire shapefile. If you're trying to draw the entire 550 MB shapefile in a single image, you have different problems . - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Basques To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Wed, 13 Oct 2004 17:56:00 -0400 Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Contours again. > Armin Burger wrote: > > >Bob, > > > >you could also try just creating a spatial index for the shapefile using s= > >hptree. 2 minutes looks like there is no existing spatial index and more o= > >r less all features of the shapefile are read all the time. > > > Yes I think this is correct. > > >Maybe this ind= > >ex already speeds up things sufficiently. > > > >Instead of splitting up the contour lines into seperate shapefiles that ha= > >ve then to be put together with a shapeindex, it might be an alternative t= > >o intersect the contour lines with a regular grid.

Nielsen) Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 08:41:45 +0200 Subject: Advise wanted: Mapserver 4 and MS/SQL Message-ID: I'm building an app with Mapserver, that needs to thmatically visualize circa 51000 km suare cells covering Denmark. Each cell needs to be colored differently (max. 10 colors), and need to display a count as a label in each cell's center. The map layer is a MapInfo table with a cell ID as first text column. Unfortunately the color and count info is stored on a Microsft SQL Server without any spatial capabilities whatsoever. What is the best way to tackle this problem ? All suggestions are welcome. What I can't do (have tried) is programmatically set the class expression to filter the IDs. If the expression states more than 100 IDs, Mapserver refuses. What I would rather not do, is issue 51000 queries to fetch the color and count info for each cell seperately. Mapserver displays the 51000 cells in 2 seconds if the color coding is an attribute in the table, but the specific color+count changes per definition for each user hit, so I can't use static map layer attribute content.

Shapefiles can only have one geometry type in a file. You will need to do a translation for each type of geometry you want to capture. Something like: /usr/local/bin/ogr2ogr -skipfailures -f "ESRI Shapefile" -nlt POLYGON \ /susepool2/xxxpolygon.shp /test.dgn /usr/local/bin/ogr2ogr -skipfailures -f "ESRI Shapefile" -nlt LINESTRING \ /susepool2/xxxline.shp /test.dgn /usr/local/bin/ogr2ogr -skipfailures -f "ESRI Shapefile" -nlt POINT \ /susepool2/xxxpoint.shp /test.dgn PS. this is really an OGR question and would be better addressed to the gdal-dev mailing list.

According to the libgrass README the MapServer-GRASS interface will read information about Location, Mapset and Database from $DOCUMENT_ROOT/.grassrc5. I would have thought that this was only done with relative pathnames, as in the standalone GDAL utilities, but perhaps it also happens with full pathnames. In that case it is a bug. You could try to remove .grassrc in $DOCUMENT_ROOT, and see if you can access GRASS rasters with with their full path in MapServer. I have been doing it for years!

This method requires, for each target language, a SWIG typemap to convert between your favorite language's file object and a C FILE*. I've written the one for Python, and this is it: // Translate Python's built-in file object to FILE * %typemap(python,in) FILE * { if (!PyFile_Check($input)) { PyErr_SetString(PyExc_TypeError, "Input is not file"); return NULL; } $1 = PyFile_AsFile($input); } I don't do any mapscripting with languages other than Python, and so am neither motivated nor well prepared to test typemaps for other languages. This is why I am looking for user contributions! Please contribute patches against mapscript.i to issue 941 in our bugzilla: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=941 cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From bob.basques at CI.STPAUL.MN.US Thu Oct 14 14:33:28 2004 From: bob.basques at CI.STPAUL.MN.US (Bob Basques) Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 16:33:28 -0500 Subject: Intersections In-Reply-To: <200410141408.06421.vaiod@berloy.com> Message-ID: Eric Katherman wrote: >The linetypes are LINE and I just started playing with postgis and have >successfully been able to draw the centerlines from the DB if that helps at >all.

The way I handle the intersections is to create a new SQL table from the Segment data. In my dataset though, I have the Names of the street as a text field. It also has the FROM and TO street names in it as well. With these three piece of data a nd the endpoint coordinates, one can assemble a new TABLE with a self join SQL request that builds a point database with the name of each street name that ends at each corrosponding line segment or SuperNODE (SNODE). Note: this will get all street names at every intersectionn, not just those that cross each other. Notice further down, that DALE, COMO and FRONT all intersect each other at the same intersection. The end results look something like this? SQL> desc snodes; Name Null?

Once you have a SNODE file then you can just add it as another layer behind MapServ that can be selected via the StreetNames or via an ID from some other process, we use a PERL CGI for this against the database, and then zoom to the spot with MapServ, but it could all just be done inside of MapServ too. --------------------------------------------------- The TLG_COUNTY table referenced above looks like this: SQL> desc tlg_county Name Null?

Message-ID: Hello all, I have an Oracle Spatial database with a table A which have an SDO_GEOMETRY column, called geomm, which contains polygons. There is a spatial index on it. However we are forced to use SRID is NULL (!) but the coordinates are in millimeters. Are there easy ways to show the polygons with mapserver, knowing that mapserver accepts no millimeters? Is there a config parameter with mapserver to handle this or is there a query in oracle spatial to handle tihs?

We even do some generalizing after the select by grouping all location less than 150 feet from each other into a single point. This works well for those spots that have two raodways crossing each other in both direction, wher typically you would get back four different intersection points. >The problem that I had when trying to test a select statement using the_geom >table returned this: > >SQL>select name from streets where the_geom LIKE '475151.296'; >ERROR:operator does not exist: geometry ~~ "unknown" >HINT:No operator matches the given name and argument type(s).

In-Reply-To: <1b8.37d68a2.2ea04985@cs.com> Message-ID: Hi Erwin, I don't know if I understood you doubt, but I will try to explain. I believe that you can use two ways. The first is using projection in your mapfile and layer definition. The second way is using the two functions: SDO_CS.TRANSFORM and SDO_CS.VIEWPORT_TRANSFORM. Perhaps you need to use the two functions of conjugated form. The first function don't accept data with NULL SRID values, but you can use the second function to transform your data for a defined SRID and use it how a input of first function. Can be, you need to test your data with the srid that you want. The way how I suggested to use the functions can be the wrong way but can help you. I don't know if I helped you.

As far a I understand is the SDO_CS.VIEWPORT_TRANSFORM function a one time action that converts geometry columns to SRID defined gemoetries. However, I have a database which is updated each minute with new records and each record contains a gemoetry column with coordinates in millimeters.

You can define your data layer as: data "geom from (select SDO_CS.TRANSFORM(SDO_CS.VIEWPORT_TRANSFORM(, ), ) as geom from )". Using this way you don't need to update your database, you use the return of the function how as source of the geometry. Remember this way can be worst, but in your case can work very well.

Chris, You might want to try adding something like the following at the beginning of your mapfile to get extra GDAL level debug info. CONFIG CPL_DEBUG "ON" You didn't mention what version of MapServer you are working with, 4.3 from CVS recently? If you can reproduce the problem reliably in a minimal configuration (say with just a single data file instead of a tile index) then let me know and I will dig into what is going wrong.

I understand that layers are drawn from top to bottom in the mapfile, so a feature in a later layer can overlap a feature in an earlier layer, but within one layer, are the classes drawn top down, or as they are encountered as mapserv goes through the shapefile? It's looking like the classes are just drawn as they are encountered, and this is producing my problem: All my roads are drawn with a black circle symbol of, let's say, 5px, with a white circle symbol of, let's say, 3px on top. That makes for a nice outlined road. Let's say my highways are a black circle symbol of 11px with a colored circle symbol on top of 9px. So the highways are colored and have a black outline. But where a road intersects with a highway, if the road gets drawn first it's good because the highway is drawn over the top of it, but if the highway gets drawn first a little of the white of the road (half a circle of it) is drawn out into the intersection, over the top of the highway fill color. As it stands, the roads and the highways are both classes of the same layer. How do you all overcome this?

I am running MapServer CGI 4.0 on three nodes of our Beowulf cluster (Debian) with GDAL 1.1 and libgrass5-1.0.0, running both Apache 1.3.26 and 2.0.47 . All six Web-environments are completely separate and perfectly standard (they are provided by the University Computing Center), and none of them has a .grassrc5 file. On all servers I can access GRASS rasters with absolute pathnames. Adding .grassrc5 in DocumentRoot doesn't make any difference and does *not* allow me to give paths relative to the directories in that file. I like it that way, but I don't understand why it is different for you and me.

It sounds like you're suffering from either excessively-detailed data (needs simplification for the scales you're using), a test that draws a large percentage of the vectors in the file, and/or poor throughput to the file server. A simple test would be to copy the shapefile to the local disk just to see if there's a difference. Guys, I haven't followed this discussion very closely, so I may have missed something. But one issue I have encountered with contours is that they often end up being very large polygons. For instance, a "zero elevation" coastal contour might well be continental sized. Really big "rings" get pushed way up the the spatial index tree and will have to be read from disk and rendered even if the current map view is just somewhere inside the contour ring such that the contour won't actually be visible, but the bounding rectangles of the contour and the view area will overlap. If this is Bob's problem, he will really be much better off to split the contours into shortish line segments instead of keeping as massive single geometries as this would allow the spatial index to localize things much better. I didn't speak up about this before because it wasn't clear if this has already been done.

You're right, of course; Bob made the comment earlier: "I actually started out with something like that in the AutoCAD world. Each tile (1/2 sq. mile) was brought together into a single coverage. I didn't do any joins on the linework, I just let them be seperate entities. I figured that was better than joining them anyway." from which I concluded that these were a lot of small, independent objects. But I'm now not sure that's really the case, so, Bob, can you confirm the arrangement of your data? I ran into a similar situation a few years ago with US street map data, which was originally organized as one shapefile per layer type per state. I was surprised at how noticeable the improvement was when I switched to one shapefile per layer type per COUNTY, as it helped prune large objects (interstates, rivers). - Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Warmerdam To: Ed McNierney Cc: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 12:45:34 -0400 Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Contours again. > Ed McNierney wrote: > > Bob - > > > > If things got 25% faster, the index is being used - you don't need to do > anything other than create it.

When assembled into a single SHP file they were NOT joined together. They are still polylines though. I'm starting to wonder now though about exploding them into their respective line segments. The data size will double though if I do that with all the extra end points to take manage. Even though the contours are chopped up by 1/2 mile increments, they are still quite large polylines, with hundreds of vertices each. I could chop them up further, down to 500 foot grid tile perhaps. The big concern for me was labelling. I didn't want to end up with seperate segments that were labelled to often. I could get away with a single label per object with the tiling method of aggregation. Seperating every segment out seems like going backwards for some reason. :c) I don't recall now if I mentioned this or not, but the contours are at one foot increments, quite dense and 560+ megs for the *.SHP file. The qix file was 4+ megs.

In-Reply-To: <41700F4E.3080704@ci.stpaul.mn.us> Message-ID: Bob - Thanks for the info - here are some thoughts: 1. Is there a particular reason you need to merge all those tiles into a single shapefile? Since you're not merging the polylines inside that shapefile, there isn't much benefit (and a bit of harm) in merging them. If you keep each file as a separate tile, you can use a TILEINDEX to combine all the tiles into a single logical layer - as if they were a single shapefile. You can then use shptree on each of those individual tiles to create a spatial index for it. The combination bascially provides a two-level index that can be very efficient. 2. The contour interval has an effect, but so does the granularity of the data. If your source data is at a higher resolution than the output image then you can often end up drawing multiple polyline segments all of which live inside a single output pixel! This is where generalizing the data to a level appropriate to the output can help. If your data has a much higher resolution than the output image, it will simply slow things down - 100 polylines in one pixel looks exactly the same as only 1 polyline in that same pixel. There's no improvement in quality. 3. What is the physical image size (in pixels) and the geographic extent (in feet) of your test image? - Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Basques To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 13:56:30 -0400 Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Contours again. > Ed McNierney wrote: > > >Frank - > > > >Thanks for chiming in!

I don't think exploding things into individual line segements will help in any useful way, and it will make labelling hell. De-densification might be called for though. Splitting into tiles with a tileindex and a spatial index for the tileindex, and each tile shapefile could help some. However, the modest performance gain you got with the spatial index suggests to me that the bottleneck might not be where would expect it to be. Some profiling might be in order. I am assuming that your map view request is for a small area of the total dataset, right? An overview render of this dataset will inevitably require a *huge* amount of work in the reading and rendering. If you felt like dumping a working mapfile and the full dataset on a CD and sending it to me, I could try and do a bit of profiling to see what is happening. As Paul Ramsey discovered with his "label cache collision checking" performance issue, the bottleneck isn't always where you think it will be. Umm, you aren't labelling these contours are you? I feel bad asking all these questions that you and Ed already hashed through but it is often the un-asked question that would unearth the real issue.

I do this now for the aerial photo's too. where I have multiple tile sets for the same LAYER at different source resaolutions that are used for different viewing scales.

Right in the correct neighborhood for the source data. I'm also labelling the lines, but I don't think that's a significant overhead overall. The biggest issue seems to be the fact that the Layer resided on a network mounted device. (This is the same for the Aerial photo datasets as well.) The smaller I can make the initial loading the better I think. So the TileIndex seems to be the way to go, in my case anyways. bobb > - Ed > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Bob Basques >To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU >Sent: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 13:56:30 -0400 >Subject: Re: [UMN=5FMAPSERVER-USERS] Contours again. > > > > >>Ed McNierney wrote: >>=20 >> >> >>>Frank - >>> >>>Thanks for chiming in!

There's no reason that request should take that long, and I share Frank's suspicion that the problem's somewhere else. Can you try my earlier suggestion of copying the data to a non-network drive, just for comparison? The TILEINDEX route should help you, but as Frank says your data appears to be well-structured for handling this kind of display request quite easily. - Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Basques To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 15:15:17 -0400 Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Contours again. > Ed McNierney wrote: > > >Bob - > > > >Thanks for the info - here are some thoughts: > > > >1.

What I do is take the supplied x and y values and use them to create a new mapext value. So: xmin = xvalue - 250 xmax= xvalue + 250 ymin= yvalue - 250 ymax= yvalue + 250 (250 is a variable number depending on what scale you want the map to zoom to) I use these to set the parent windows mapext value using: window.opener.document.mapserv.mapext.value = xmin + ' ' + ymin + ' ' + xmax + ' ' + ymax then is is just a matter of submitting the mapserv form in the parent window using: window.opener.document.mapserv.submit(); and your off and running.

The reason why I need that pointobj, is for two things: 1.- I add that point in a new layer, to show it on the map, 2.- I want to make a zoomscale to that point, because I want that the point be zoomed to an initial scale. The first thing is already working good, but my problem is in the second. The way I do that is as follows: 1.- Convert the latlon point to pixel 2.- zoomscale introducing the latlon2pixel pointobj parameter mapscript code: dl('php_mapscript.so'); $map_path="/usr/local/mapserver_4/www/trackerweb/modules/Localiza/"; $map_file="mexico.map"; $map = ms_newMapObj($map_path.$map_file); $extminx = $map->extent->minx; $extminy = $map->extent->miny; $extmaxx = $map->extent->maxx; $extmaxy = $map->extent->maxy; ////ZOOMSCALE $x = $longitud; // this is taken from database $y = $latitud; // this is taken from database $col = $map->width; $row = $map->height; $px = ( ($x-$extminx) * $col ) / ($extmaxx - $extminx); //this converts from latlon to pix x $py = ( ($extmaxy-$y) * $row ) / ($extmaxy - $extminy); //this converts from latlon to pix y $point2 = ms_newpointobj(); $point2->setXY($px, $py); $extent1 = ms_newrectObj(); $extent1->setextent(doubleval($extminx),doubleval($extminy), doubleval($extmaxx), doubleval($extmaxy)); $scale = '150000'; $zoom1= $map->zoomscale($scale, $point2, $map->width, $map->height, $extent1); When I convert the latlon to pixel, it seems that they are well converted, because de zoomscale presents the point centered in the map, but it only happens in a 1:2000000 scale, but if I put a 1:90000 scale, the pointobj doesn't appears in the center of the map, and if I put a 1:5000 scale, the point just does not appears in the map. When I convert latlon to pixel, it results (x,y) pixel values with 6 decimal each one and with that values, I create a pointobj point and use it as a parameter of the zoomscale method, but I think that the zoomscale takes only the integer value of the (x,y) pixel values, and that's why it has an error that at a 1:5000 scale is greater because at that scale the extent is at a nearest to the point. That's because at a 1:2000000 scale the error apparently does not appears. So I hope that I was clear enogh with my explanation, and also hope that someone can help me to solve that error.

Message-ID: I know you guys are working on the fcgi for win32 but if they want something sooner there is another option. DM Solutions can do custom builds for people at their hourly support rate. I sat down and worked it out once. I could get all kinds of custom stuff put into the build at their rate for much less than if you factor in all the time it would take me to get it all set up to compile. ( At the time I was just trying to get more layers into mapserver ) I believe they produce nightly WIN32 binaries so I wonder if it would just be faster fot these folks to get a custom compiled binary? We have found the rate more than reasonable and it gives us more time to actually build applications against the binaries rather than using that same time trying to get something to compile just to begin testing against. That way they could have a solution up and going and tested and then in the future they could get the fcgi binaries from you guys. Just a thought anyway. >From: Paul Ramsey >Reply-To: Paul Ramsey >To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU >Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Win32 binaries with SDE, anyone ? >Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 07:36:59 -0700 > >Mike, we are currently scraping the last of the bugs off the CVS >version with support for fcgi.

In-Reply-To: <416FFEAE.1040803@pobox.com> Message-ID: Can others comfirm this very weird problem with CLASS expressions in 4.2.4? I'm using the following elementary MapFile: layer name municipalities type polygon status default data "municipalities.shp" class expression([GEM_NUM] < 500) color 255 0 0 outlinecolor 0 0 0 end class expression([GEM_NUM] >= 500) color 0 255 0 outlinecolor 0 0 0 end end It should show Dutch municipalities with administrative numbers (variable GEM_NUM) below 500 in red and above in green. It works in 4.2.3, but not in 4.2.4 (see attached gifs). In 4.2.4 everything gets assigned to the first class, whatever the expression. However, simple expressions, with a CLASSITEM and a string or a regex, are correct in both versions. I can't imagine that this has gone unnoticed, but I can't imagine either what I could have done wrong. It is an extremely simple MapFile. I had the same problem with a much more complex PostGIS case, so I first thought it was the PostGIS connector, but it is the same for a simple shapefile. Any ideas?

I'm trying to do this via GET, i.e.: http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=map/config.map&mode=querymap&img.x=291&i mg.y=184&imgext=-86.82379248688089%2042.77901146125532%20-80.82379248631 712%2046.52901146160768&qlayer=man_OHMI&buffer=20&savequery=true But the result I get is: msQueryByPoint(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s) found. If I do the exact same query as OGC:WMS GetFeatureInfo, I get records back. So I'm guessing something in my CGI GET call is incorrect? What I'm trying to do is, when an OGC:WMS client makes a GetFeatureInfo request with format text/html, the HTML returned (via templates defined in mapfile) has a small image of the features highlighted inline in the HTML. ..Tom > -- > mike > From pcreso at PCRESO.COM Sat Oct 16 11:57:44 2004 From: pcreso at PCRESO.COM (Brent Wood) Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2004 11:57:44 -0700 Subject: help novice getting Itasca demo working In-Reply-To: <200410160939.13466.tylermitchell@shaw.ca> Message-ID: --- Tyler Mitchell wrote: Hi Tyler....

I tried 4.2.4, and it seems to have a bug with handling numerical class expressions, such as EXPRESSION ([POPULATION] < 500000) ... EXPRESSION ([POPULATION] >= 500000 and [POPULATION] < 1000000 ) ... EXPRESSION ([POPULATION] >= 1000000) I have those in seperate layers, and regardless which layer was applied, the top equation ([POPULATION] < 500000) was used. This is working correctly for me in 4.2.3. Perhaps somebody else can verify this. Or perhaps the EXPRESSION interface has changed in 4.2.4...

I'm trying to learn the working of mapserver. When I run the Itasca demo, some files get created in the tmp folder(which i have created). My question is, when mapserver draws the map in the browser, from where does it get the different images(Itasca map,scalebar,legend,reference etc.)? For the time being, i have set the path in different html files (itasca_basic.html,itasca_adds_frames.html etc.) to the files that are created under the tmp folder(for scalebar,reference,map etc). But I'm not sure about whether to hard code these paths to temporary files created by Mapserver. Because when i go throught itasca.map, I see that for reference, there is a "image" object which is set to the path in the graphics folder. So, could anybody tell me that from where mapserver takes the map/images to draw in the browser... from tmemporary files which it creates or from the graphics foder?

I wonder why there isn't a builtin function for that e.g. pointcenter(x,y) that would make this easy.

The order of the classes is significant in that the first expression matched is used for any given feature. Therefore classes do not have to be mutually exclusive. Roads can indeed be tricky to render. Sounds to me like you need to control the order of the shapes in the shapefile. The last features in the shapefile are rendered last and you can take advantage of that fact. For instance you can sort the shapefile based on road type so that highways are last and therefore show up on top of roads. There is a sortshp utility included in the MapServer distribution that will allow you to re-order a shapefile based on an attribute. The other option you have is to use seperate layers (i.e. draw roads and then draw highways). You have to step through the file twice, but often that doesn't kill performance if your data are indexed and perhaps tiled. Steve >>> John Bolster 10/15/04 10:08 AM >>> Hi all, I need to understand the sequence in which different elements are drawn onto the map. I understand that layers are drawn from top to bottom in the mapfile, so a feature in a later layer can overlap a feature in an earlier layer, but within one layer, are the classes drawn top down, or as they are encountered as mapserv goes through the shapefile? It's looking like the classes are just drawn as they are encountered, and this is producing my problem: All my roads are drawn with a black circle symbol of, let's say, 5px, with a white circle symbol of, let's say, 3px on top. That makes for a nice outlined road. Let's say my highways are a black circle symbol of 11px with a colored circle symbol on top of 9px. So the highways are colored and have a black outline. But where a road intersects with a highway, if the road gets drawn first it's good because the highway is drawn over the top of it, but if the highway gets drawn first a little of the white of the road (half a circle of it) is drawn out into the intersection, over the top of the highway fill color. As it stands, the roads and the highways are both classes of the same layer. How do you all overcome this?

Ahmet, I've found the rubberband zoom box by Gayathri Swaminathan to be simple and quite useful. You can download it here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/user_utilities/RBand.zip Just call startRubber and stopRubber functions on mouseDown and mouseUp events on the main map image and put hidden form elements containing the width and height of the "rubberband" layer.

<\/td><\/tr><\/table>'); r.document.close(); var f = document.forms('viewmap'); f.w.value = r.clip.width; f.h.value = r.clip.height; } else if (document.getElementById) { var r = document.getElementById('rubberBand'); r.style.width = evt.clientX - parseInt(r.style.left) - 2; r.style.height = evt.clientY - parseInt(r.style.top) - 2; var ht = document.getElementById('h'); var wt = document.getElementById('w'); wt.value = r.style.width; ht.value = r.style.height; } } function stopRubber (evt) { document.releaseEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE); document.onmousemove = null; } Contents of the form: ---------------------------------------------------

Message-ID: I can confirm this in 4.2 too. I noticed it in a WFS app, and thought that it may possibly have something to do with the way that WFS is rendered. I don't think that it is related to WFS. I had three poly layers. If I symbolized them with a solid color, they rendered as expected. If I used an outlinecolor with no fill, the default 1 pixel outline rendered in the expected color. Finally, if I used a circle symbol, all polys rendered with the expected line thickness, but they all had the color set in the first layer.

Jacob, Obviously users are in charge of their own machines and can do what they want, but I would like to go on the record as saying this practice scares the "heck" out of me. For instance, I package and distribute OpenEV_FW releases. I take great care to provide all required libraries and DLLs in the package. I carefully set the PATH environment variable when the package is being used, so that my DLLs will be used to avoid conflicts. But if you have a PROJ.DLL in C:\windows\system32 it will be used in preference to the one I have so carefully placed at the front of the path and I will end up getting weird reports of problems I have no chance of being able to correct from my end. Many DLLs, including stuff like PROJ, and GDAL do not have version specific names (and anyways people make snapshots between releases) and so it is very easy for the wrong version of a DLL to get used and to cause the most annoying sorts of problems. My point is, folks who dump stuff willy-nilly into windows\system32 should think twice before reporting problems because it may be a configuration issue on your side that the software developers or distributors don't have a fair chance to have avoided.

I'm working with a completely PHP-based map, i.e. without any Mapfile at all. I can set everything from PHP, except for the "transparent" option of the predefined "gif" outputformat. This setting seems to be read-only, like everything else in the outputformat object, except the additional formatoptions. Setting transparency at the *mapObj"-level doesn't work either. I could use the pasteimg() method, but it would be much simpler if I could do it just like in a regular MapFile, by setting TRANSPARENT ON in the outputformat. Is this possible?

I was only trying to help out someone who was stuck (and I did; he mentioned to me that it worked). If the dll's are in the same directory as the executable, these will be used rather than those in the system directory. I normally use that approach if I need to avoid a version problem. I don't like to rely on path statements, because I have spent heaps of time on debugging path related problems. In windows, the path environment variable can be a bit unreliable. Applications can modify it when you install them, or write lines to your autoexec.bat file that will overwrite the system path variable (e.g. ultraedit, apple quicktime, etc.....). Or sometimes it downright doesn't work. I think that's why there are so many dll related posts. Whenever I do have an issue, I check whether my dll's are the same version as the original package (as I did suggest), before reporting anything.

Jacob, Obviously users are in charge of their own machines and can do what they want, but I would like to go on the record as saying this practice scares the "heck" out of me. For instance, I package and distribute OpenEV_FW releases. I take great care to provide all required libraries and DLLs in the package. I carefully set the PATH environment variable when the package is being used, so that my DLLs will be used to avoid conflicts. But if you have a PROJ.DLL in C:\windows\system32 it will be used in preference to the one I have so carefully placed at the front of the path and I will end up getting weird reports of problems I have no chance of being able to correct from my end. Many DLLs, including stuff like PROJ, and GDAL do not have version specific names (and anyways people make snapshots between releases) and so it is very easy for the wrong version of a DLL to get used and to cause the most annoying sorts of problems. My point is, folks who dump stuff willy-nilly into windows\system32 should think twice before reporting problems because it may be a configuration issue on your side that the software developers or distributors don't have a fair chance to have avoided.

You are friendly compared to how I treat my users when they mistreat my creations.... I did some testing. Path behaviour is different for dll's than for .exe: For executable, it first takes what is in the application directory. Then it searches through the paths sequentially. So if the system directory is at the end of the path statement, it will be searched last. For DLL's, it first takes what is in the executable directory. Then looks in the system directory. Then the rest of the path statement. So it seems that only for DLL's does the system directory take presedence of the other paths. regards, Jacob -----Original Message----- From: Frank Warmerdam [mailto:warmerdam at pobox.com] Sent: 20 October 2004 12:35 To: Jacob Delfos Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Installation Failure with Proj.dll entry Problem Jacob Delfos wrote: > Frank, > > Don't get me wrong, it wasn't my intention to make your life as a > developer difficult.

Jacob, Perhaps I have been mislead. My understanding is that DLLs in the working directory of the process take precidence over the ones in the system directory, but that the system directory takes precidence over the PATH. I also didn't *think* that the directory the executable was in took precidence over the system directories though of course for many folks the directory the executable is in is the system directory. Am I wrong? Hmm, now that I look through my distribution, the one executable that isn't the same directory with all the DLLs is python.exe. Perhaps if I just dumped it in the bin directory with all my other executables I would have a lot less conflict problems with users of OpenEV_FW. Also, sorry if I came across as being crabby and I can sympathize with how hard it is to get PATH environment variables into cgi programs and other odd places. I have had this too. It's just the soup of DLLs scares me.

Has this been changed and I'm just stupidly working on an old version (4.01) and should upgrade? Relative paths in Tileindexes NEED to be relative to the location of the Tileindex! Why? because it is needed to modularize your deployment of data. I create a directory that has a bunch of data in a sub tree and then create the tileindexes in that directory. If I want to reference that directory in a lot of other map configs using symlinks it can get linked into a different levels in the overall directory structure. If the paths are relative to the DATAPATH or the mapfile location then is almost always breaks. I typically have All mapfiles are in a common directory like "/u/mapfiles/" DATAPATH "/u/data/" TILEINDEX "tiger-maps/roads-tile" and paths in "roads-tile.shp" are like: ./data/01/001/roads.shp ./data/01/003/roads.shp and /u/data/tiger-maps/data/01/... BUT mapserver seems to look for files in: /u/mapfiles/./data/01/001/roads.shp /u/data/./data/01/001/roads.shp tiger-maps might also get referenced in another map like: /u/data/world/us/tiger-maps -> /u/data/tiger-maps DATAPATH "/u/data/world/" TILEINDEX "us/tiger-maps/roads-tile" This is a natural thing to do with making data and tileindexes reusable, but it requires the relative paths in tileindexes to be relative to the tileindex location. -Steve W.

BEWARE - Long post follows... My task was to take a somewhat disorganized collection of orthophotos in tiff format and setup a WMS to serve a mosaic of these photos for use as a backdrop to support operators conflating road networks. This at first seemed like it would be an exceptionally simple task, just get all the images, run gdaltindex to make a tileindex for mapserver, setup the mapfile, and it's done. However, there were several problems that needed to be overcome in particular the quantity of data, and the mixed projections of the images. There is 2-4TB of orthophotos to work with. We were able to reduce this somewhat because we only need orthophotos that overlap with both of the road networks we are conflating, but it is still more data than we want to deal with. We decided to solve this by compressing to JPEG-2000 format - at a rate of 10:1, I cannot tell the difference between the original image and the compressed one. We are using the Kakadu library and gdal_translate to do this conversion, however, since we are using a lossy compression we needed to do all of the image processing before the compression in order to minimize image degradation. Next problem - not all of the images were in the same projection, most were in UTM, but I wanted them all in BC Albers. gdalwarp solves the reprojection problem quite nicely, however, the output images have empty "collars" around the edges where data is missing due to the reprojected image not filling the entire bounding box of the image in the new projection. One way around this would be to put all the tiles together beforehand with something like gdal_merge.py, then reproject them, then slice them up into new tiles afterward. However, due to the quantity of the data, this was not an ideal solution. In fact, you don't even need to put them all together, all you need to build one tile is itself and its eight neighbors - however, this requires far more processing than our final solution for effectively the same result. The final solution was to ask Frank to add an alpha band mask to the output of gdalwarp, so that instead of a black collar, there is transparency. With an additional change to mapserver to automatically use this alpha band channel (it already did for colour images, just not for greyscale images), a tiled layer of these reprojected images looks as though it has been mosaicked together - in fact, mapserver is basically doing the mosaicking on the fly. Note that the reprojected images all overlap eachother, but the overlapping areas are mostly transparent. A couple things which aren't addressed in this solution are color balance/histogram equalization, and fixing seams with morphing/warping. The histogram equalization might be easily solved with imageMagik, but I'm not sure. The seaming is trickier stuff, but I suspect OSSIM might be able to do this sort of thing. In fact, OSSIM might be able to do all of this, but I didn't want try to learn a whole new piece of software on a rush-project. In the end, here is my processing stream: - use imageMagik to convert to grayscale if not already so: convert -colorspace GRAY $in_file $out_file - use gdalwarp to convert to the right projection, and add transparency to existing and resulting nodata areas: gdalwarp -dstalpha -srcnodata 0 -co 'ALPHA=YES' -s_srs 'epsg:26910' -t_srs 'epsg:42102' -rc $in_file $out_file - use gdal_translate to convert the reprojected file to jpeg 2000 using kakadu - options are from the kakadu examples site, they seem to work well but then I haven't found options that don't work well: gdal_translate -of JP2KAK -co 'Clayers=20' -co 'Clevels=8' -co 'Corder=RPCL' -co 'Cprecincts={256,256},{256,256},{128,128}' -co 'ORGgen_plt=yes' -co 'ORGtparts=R' -co 'Cblk={32,32}' -co 'Creversible=no' -co 'quality=10' $in_file out_file - build a tileindex of all of the files for mapserver: gdaltindex tiles.shp *.jp2 - setup my layer in mapserver: LAYER NAME "orthophoto" METADATA "wms_title" "orthophoto" END STATUS ON TILEINDEX "tiles.shp" TILEITEM "Location" TYPE RASTER PROJECTION "init=epsg:42102" END END Right now I have 1389 jp2 tiles totalling 45.5GB, and mapserver can render a screen-size view of all of them in about 15 seconds - the machine is an Athlon 64 3500+ with 2GB RAM and a pair of 7200RPM 250GB SATA drives in software RAID 1 on Fedora Core 2 x86_64. The render time seems to be pretty proportional down to around 1 second... ie. if you look at half of it, it takes 7 seconds, a fifteenth of it takes 1 second, and basically any zoom level smaller than that takes about 1 second or less. JP2K files (especially with the options I specified above) are created with multi-resolution and spatial indexing in mind, so every jp2 file effectively is internally tiled and has many overview layers, at little to no extra cost in file size - this contributes greatly to the speed, I'm sure. I'm still processing data right now, but once I'm all done I will use gdal_merge.py to create an overview layer. It will be slightly degraded since I will have to base it on the lossily-compressed jp2s, but the quality of the overview isn't important. With an overview layer in place (or maybe two), I expect to be able to provide sub-second response time to render any bounding box at screen resolution. Thanks to Frank Warmerdam for adding the new features into GDAL and Mapserver that made this all possible. Sorry, but I can't share the final result due to licensing agreements on the orthophotos.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Prasad, I am CCing the mapserver list. They have lots of people that can help you with questions related to that. I assume you have looked at http://imaptools.com/tiger/ The concepts around vector maps is similar but different than raster maps. In the URL above I am serving 18 GBs of tiger data covering the whole US and the maps are about 32 KB for each map view which will perform well even on dialup lines. I have the data organized by state and county like /u/data/tiger/data/state/county/shapefiles /u/data/tiger/tileindexes I use a tileindex to pull all the files together into layers In the mapfile you need to set minscale and maxscale so an appropriate level of detail is displayed at the various zoom scales you are working with. I'm sure other will have more advice for you if you ask. -Steve W.

I'm sure it helps others get an idea of what is possible, and what some of the issues are. I'll just add a few comments for everyone. > - use imageMagik to convert to grayscale if not already so: > convert -colorspace GRAY $in_file $out_file I believe Chris was using this to strip off greyscale colormaps on some of his files. The colormaps were just simple greyscale ramps, but sort of messed up later processing. It was preferable to just strip them down to plain greyscale images. > - use gdalwarp to convert to the right projection, and add transparency > to existing and resulting nodata areas: > gdalwarp -dstalpha -srcnodata 0 -co 'ALPHA=YES' -s_srs 'epsg:26910' > -t_srs 'epsg:42102' -rc $in_file $out_file The -dstalpha switch is new. It should appear in GDAL 1.2.4. The -co ALPHA=YES is a special clue to the GTIFF driver to mark the second band as alpha at creation time for Greyscale+alpha images. This is really a hack to work around limits in GDAL for dynamically marking a band as alpha. > Right now I have 1389 jp2 tiles totalling 45.5GB, and mapserver can > render a screen-size view of all of them in about 15 seconds - the I would like to stress that rendering an overview from so many files is inherently "high overhead". As Chris notes you should try and produce at least one overview mosaic at high enough resolution that once you go "below it" you will only be accessing a few of the full resolution files (say 5-10). > machine is an Athlon 64 3500+ with 2GB RAM and a pair of 7200RPM 250GB > SATA drives in software RAID 1 on Fedora Core 2 x86_64.

I would add that it might be practical to extract the overview image just by issuing a WMS request to the server, though some steps might be required to assign georeferencing to the resulting image. PS. the greyscale+alpha support in MapServer is in 4.3 now. The RGB+alpha support is already in 4.2. I think generating and using alpha bands can have many applications for masking rasters with MapServer. Alpha blending of rasters is only supported for files read via the MapServe GDAL linkage.

I didn't find anything explicit in a quick perusal of the WMS code about this, but will also try the developer's list for more information.

If you use transparent pixmap symbols to style a layer, set TRANSPARENCY ALPHA for that layer. This behavior is left off by default because it is somewhat expensive to use it when it isn't needed.

The purpose for this is to be able to generate conditional copyrights on the map. Here is the scenario, I have multiple vendor data sets all pulled together into a mapfile, but depending on scale and location I might only render data from some of the vendor data. Then as the last layers being drawn are the copyrights, I only want to place the copyrights required based on the data that was actually rendered. I'm thinking of a mechanism like: LAYER NAME "abc" SET_IF_DRAWN vendor1 1 ... END LAYER NAME "xyz" SET_IF_DRAWN vendor2 1 ... END ... LAYER NAME "copyright1" STATUS OFF IF vendor1 and not vendor2 STATUS ON ... END LAYER NAME "copyright2" STATUS OFF IF vendor2 and not vendor1 STATUS ON ... END LAYER NAME "copyright3" STATUS OFF IF vendor1 and vendor2 STATUS ON ... END -- OR -- LAYER NAME "copyright" STATUS DEFAULT ... IF vendor1 and not vendor2 TEXT "bla bla bla 1" IF vendor2 and not vendor1 TEXT "bla bla bla 2" IF vendor1 and vendor2 TEXT " bla bla bla 1 and 2" ... END I think that there are probably other good uses of this besides the example above. The key to this is that the variable only gets set if data is actually rendered into the image. If later layer obliterates what was drawn, that can be ignored and the variable would stay set. Would this be useful to others? Any ideas how to hack something like this with todays tools?

Message-ID: Hello List, The Directions Magazine 2004 Web Mapping contest is in full swing. The entry deadline has passed and the Voting phase has begun. www.directionsmag.com/web.mapping.contest/ 80 websites have been entered in the contest. In the Business category 2 of those 19 entries have been made using MapServer. In the Government category 3 of 45 entries list the use of MapServer. And in the Misc. category 3 of 16 entries list the use of MapServer. I would like to call upon the MapServer Community to support your favourite software in this contest, and help drive a MapServer based website to the winning position in the contest. A winner will be picked from each category based on the votes received from the public. (a quick free registration is required when you vote) Now for the shameless personal plug ... If my efforts have been worthy, I would really appreciate it if your choice in the Business category was my website. My website is titled: 'MapServer - For Gold Exploration and Investor Education' and can be found on the following page of entrants: http://www.directionsmag.com/web.mapping.contest/?page=2&sort=2&cat=2&view=pages&find=&findStr= Thank you for your support, Ken Lord ============================== Ken Lord B.Sc., A.Dipl.T.H. Vancouver BC, Canada kenlord at gmail.com P.S. I've made a few nifty tools using JavaScript and ASP to control how map layers are activated and symbolized, such as the 'Soil Samples by Percentile' layer that allows you to choose which of 32 elements is used for symbolization. This is effectively 32 different map layers described by a single layer in the Map configuration file. Passing parameters in the URL can work wonders. The website operates in frames to allow the map to refresh faster without reloading the full website. Soil samples, drill holes and BC Minfile and Assement report data can be queried, generating drill hole assay tables dynamically and linking to drill hole cross sections, or leading you directly to the government historical reports. Over 100 map layers are available that allow a viewer to see how different types of gold exploration data relate on the mine property, in particular by allowing you to quickly overlay different soil assay elements with geophysics, drill hole locations, geology, underground mine levels, claims, and a 0.25m Orthomosaic. The site has been used by company geologists to plan ongoing gold exploration work where anomolous data hasn't been followed up with ground work. I'd be happy to answer any questions regarding how I've put things together if it would be a help to anyone.

We're now at MapServer/MapScript 4.2.5 (have tried several previous fix levels), with 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). Our MapScript basically does a map->draw(), followed by a couple of queryByRect() on non-shown layers, manual point->draw()s with custom, numbered labels, then a map->save(). (Somebody else wrote the code, so I'm trying to summarize my understanding the best I can in his absence.) Most of the time, this code seems to work fine and respond decently, although never "fast" for the particular locations that have lots of individual points to be numbered. When things are "normal", I can see one or two active php processes at any given point in time, none of which are older than the current minute. According to the "top" command, each such process does seem to use 100% of (one of?) the CPU while it's running, but that doesn't seem to prevent the system from otherwise responding normally. But fairly regularly, the php processes, and their owning httpd processes, start stacking up and not finishing or going away. When this happens, queries to the php scripts start timing out and writing errors to Apache's stderr: [Thu Oct 21 16:47:30 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 (Line 87 is the map->draw() call) When this happens, *sometimes* the problem seems to eventually fix itself where the scripts start responding normally again. But often the only way we're able to fix the problem is by stopping and re-starting Apache. One other interesting symptom is that even when these errors start occurring, some queries, those that are faster, seem to still work, and at a normal speed. The slower ones don't come back at all. It acts like there's a resource deadlock or bottleneck somewhere, but I can't imagine a place which would block some queries and not others. Oh - the layers that we let map->draw() handle are in shapefiles. The layers that we queryByRect() are in PostgreS/PostGIS. So, first, has anyone seen these kinds of symptoms before? Is there some obvious problem they indicate? If not, is there some obvious problem in the flow/configuration/algorithm I've described? I appreciate any help the community can offer. We're currently having to recycle Apache 3-5 times per day because of these problems.

So if your map is nested in other elements, you need to walk up the tree and add the offsets. See http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/29359 for functions to do this for you. Do offsets = getOffsets(event), then use offsets.offsetX and Y in place of evt.clientX and Y in your code above.

I don't know how the OGR implement the query function but this problem appear when you use functions that use the primary filter like SDO_FILTER.

I'm working on ArcGIS 9, ArcView. I went to the site you suggested (http://gix.sourceforge.net/), and downloaded the extention(export tool version 0.2). And I understand that you said that its meant to export ArcGIS 3.x files to .map files, but i just wanted to check if it works with ArcView 9, but it dosn't seem to work with ArcView 9. When I went to ArcMap 9, and tryed to load the extention, it didn't give me the choice to add "Gix MTS Tools" i.e. I don't see the check box for"Gix MTS Tools" to select. I think this is probably because this export tool is not for ArcView 9. And if it is supposed to work with ArcView 9, what is the way to load this extention? Or if you know any other tool like this, that will work under ArcView 9, please let me know, Thank you, Manjiri Andhare GIS Coordinator PA Fish & Boat Commision.

Here are the map file variables that we might want to affect the path construction to a tile (any others?): 1. [Location of the map file] 2. SHAPEPATH 3. LAYER (tileindex):DATA (minus the tileindex filename) 4. LAYER (tiles):DATA 5. LAYER:TILEITEM contents Proposed rules: ============= 1. The path to a tile is constructed using the values of the above variables in order: [Location of the map file] / SHAPEPATH / LAYER (tileindex):DATA / LAYER (tiles):DATA / LAYER:TILEITEM contents 2. An absolute path in any of the variables would cause those to the left of that variable in Rule 1 not to be used in the path construction. Some examples: ============= A. The Steve Woodbridge senario: ----------------------------------------- 1. [Location of the map file] = /u/mapfiles/ 2. SHAPEPATH = "/u/data" 3. LAYER (tileIndex) : DATA = "tiger-maps/roads-tile" 4. LAYER (tiles): DATA = "" 5. LAYER: TILEITEM contents = "./data/01/001/roads.shp" would result in a tile path of /u/data/tiger-maps/./data/01/001/roads.shp B. Everything in one directory (yikes!): ----------------------------------------- 1. [Location of the map file] = C:\temp 2. SHAPEPATH = "" 3. LAYER (tileIndex) : DATA = "my-tiles" (the file is C:\temp\my-tiles.shp) 4. LAYER (tiles): DATA = "" 5. LAYER: TILEITEM contents = "map1.shp" would result in a tile path of C:\temp\map1.shp Some Questions: ============== Any desired data configuration where this would not work? Do we attempt to maintain backwards compatibility with the current method of path construction? Is anyone happy with it?. Thanks to all... Brent Fraser GeoAnalytic Inc.

LAYER: TILEITEM contents = "./data/01/001" would result in a tile path of /u/data/tiger-maps/./data/01/001/roads[.shp] I have found that often a spatial area (like a county) has many layers in it and they can all share the the same tileindex and then I use the DATA to select the specific file for the layer. ie. the tile represents the extents of the data in the directory and then you can have multiple layers in the directory. I think you description implies this would happen anyway, but I just wanted to make sure. Thank you for taking the lead on this. -Steve W.

In your scenario, you've got "tiles-by-theme": tile1 / (eg Madison county) theme1.shp (eg roads.shp) theme2.shp tile2 / ( eg another county) theme1.shp theme2.shp and you would not store the theme-name/file-name in the tileindex location column. You'd set the filename in the DATA variable and have one LAYER for each theme (and could point to one tileindex). In scenario mine, I've got "tiles-by-geography": theme1 / (eg 1:250k topos) tile1.tif (eg c370.tif) tile2.tif theme2 / (eg 1:24k topos) tile1.tif (eg o370.tif) tile2.tif My filenames are in the tileindex location column (and in the above example I would have two tileindex files). If I have another layer with the same tiling scheme but different content (say terrain-shaded topos) I would simply copy the tileindex or create a new one using gdaltindex. Hmm, maybe that's not very efficient... Well, I guess we could swap the "LAYER (tiles): DATA" and "LAYER: TILEITEM contents" in my rules. That would make it somewhat backward compatible too. So now the proposal is 1. [Location of the map file] 2. SHAPEPATH 3. LAYER (tileindex):DATA (minus the tileindex filename portion) 4. LAYER:TILEITEM contents 5. LAYER (tiles):DATA Proposed rules (V2): ============= 1. The path to a tile is constructed using the values of the above variables in order: [Location of the map file] / SHAPEPATH / LAYER (tileindex):DATA / LAYER:TILEITEM contents / LAYER (tiles):DATA 2. An absolute path in any of the variables would cause those to the left of that variable in Rule 1 not to be used in the path construction. (As in the original proposal). =============== The above change requires that the tileindex is in the same location as the tile dir (which I think is not too bad). And maybe I can convince Frank W. to add an option to gdaltindex/ogrtindex to not add the actual filename (only the path as given on the command line) to the location value. A couple of more questions... ====================== 1. What if the tileindex is a database? 2. What if the tileindex is in a different coordinate system than the tiles?

The other side of this is to keep in mind that the names in the tileindex aren't necessarily filenames.

At this time that is not permitted. All tiles in a tile index have to be in the same coordinate system as the tileindex.

Since Steve L. added the two layer architechure for the tileindex and tiles, this looks more feasible, but my guess is that it is not implemented. So let's say it could be done. How would that impact the tile paths? One solution is to ignore the DATA object in the tileindex LAYER (have to, since it's not a path), so basically the full path is kept in the database (except for the optional DATA object, AKA the filename, in the layer definition). If you move the tiles, you would need to issue an Update SQL statement. Not great, but OK. > The other side of this is to keep in mind that the names in the tileindex > aren't necessarily filenames.

For example suppose I wanted to serve up VMAP0 data in it's original format (probably not a good idea performance-wise). Currently I think the mapserver code has some logic to determine if the path is relative or absolute; it would have to be enhanced to recognize the following as an absolute path: gltp:/vrf/usr4/mpp1/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia 'watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line' and pass it the GDAL library. Likely some other issues as well. On the other hand, I don't think anyone has asked about this, so maybe it is not an issue.... > > 2.

All tiles in a tile index have to > be in the same coordinate system as the tileindex. This is an enhancement that I would like to see. I implemented it in my local copy of MS 4.0 and could pass the source to some brave soul willing to integrate it into CVS. Basically it required having a .prj file with the tileindex and ensuring the tiles themselves had georeferencing (either internal for GeoTiffs, or .prj files for shapefiles etc.). The reason I didn't submit the code is that I believe the .prj file code should actually be in GDAL so formats without built-in coordinate system definition support could be more easily manipulated. See my email from May 12, 2003 "Projection AUTO, GDAL and ECW files". So many enhance requests, so little time...

I'm using Chameleon to build my web interface and running MapServer as a CGI script. I have compiled MapServer with GDAL support and GDAL has GeoTiff support. I'm running MapServer version 4.2.4 and GDAL version 1.2.3 I'm also using PROJ and everything works great. All my shape files can be displayed and queried with no problems. The image I'm trying to display was originally created with ARC and is in Imagine format. Here is my map file entry for the raster layer... LAYER NAME "a_line_ab" DATA "a_line_ab_proj.img" TYPE RASTER STATUS on PROCESSING "BANDS=1,2,3" DEBUG on PROJECTION "init=epsg:102003" END END When I try and display it Chameleon responds with the following error... DrawMap: MapServer IO Error: (a_line_ab_proj.img) Now I have tried just about everything I can think of including converting the image to TIFF format and trying that, but I get the same error. I have also used ArcMap to set the projection on the file so it matches all of the other shape files, but still the same error. When I call MapServer with the map file alone without Chameleon nothing displays and no errors are generated. This is using the following command... http://phobos.gina.alaska.edu/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/landman/chameleon/htdocs/landman.map&mode=map Here is what MapServer and GDAL report their compiled support is... ./mapserv -v MapServer version 4.2.4 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE gdal-config --formats gxf gtiff hfa aigrid aaigrid ceos ceos2 iso8211 xpm sdts raw dted mem jdem envisat elas fit vrt usgsdem l1b nitf bmp pcidsk bsb gif jpeg png Any ideas would be most welcome, thank you.

You might be able to use the read as an example of how to write them, and enhance the class for writing. I haven't looked at the code so it might not be worth much, but it is an idea. -Steve John Bolster wrote: > Hello, > > I need to plot dynamically created points on my map.

I haven't been able to test it yet, and it's not very correct. So, if I see this right, your solution was to bundle regex into mapserver as well. What was the symptom you discovered? I created a patch that made mapscript compile accordingly against php4-bundled-regex, but I'm getting SEGV's at the moment. So I still cannot prove, that I made something useful. :-| Anthony, are you at the dev-list as well (I'm not approved yet)? Dirk.

But isn't there then a problem running mapserver below 4.4 and mapserver 4.4 on the same system? I removed libiconv-1.9.2, did not supply "--with-libiconv=/user/local" and had the following on ./configure(ing) mapserver. 4.0.2/4.2.5 checking for libiconv_open in -liconv... no libiconv library cannot be found, possibly needed for GD 4.4-beta checking for iconv_open in -liconv... no checking for iconv_open in -lc... yes using libiconv from system libs. libiconv found. Enabling internationalization (-DUSE_ICONV) Actually it is possible to compile mapserver 4.2.x and 4.0.x without libiconv, but I don't know if then any functionality is missing.

It's just something I invented (well, borrowed) for a particular implementation. The Mapserver CGI variable you will be using for the map file snippet below is map_TimeStamp_feature_text. You set it in the URL the client passes to the server. It won't work to set [imagedate] in the URL as Mapserver has no clue about that variable, and has no way to set text in the mapfile. It DOES have a way to substitute the entire contents of a map file object using the map_ syntax. See the bottom of http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/cgi-reference.html ("Changing map file parameters...") What does your URL look like?

Steve, can you confirm? On my system, I've removed the older 1.8.4 GD to prevent this kind of conflict, but we should probably work to improve our configure script. Not everyone has the option to clear out GD from /usr/lib. Norman, in the meanwhile, try setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib before you configure.

It's just something I invented (well, borrowed) for a particular implementation. The Mapserver CGI variable you will be using for the map file snippet below is map_TimeStamp_feature_text. You set it in the URL the client passes to the server. It won't work to set [imagedate] in the URL as Mapserver has no clue about that variable, and has no way to set text in the mapfile. It DOES have a way to substitute the entire contents of a map file object using the map_ syntax.

I think you would be able to use a CGI variable to change the text, but I haven't tried it. I think the CGI syntax would be something like: ...&map_TimeStamp_feature_text=Terra+Modis+20041025&... and you'll likely need URL encoding for characters other than alphanumerics.

To your immediate problem, you could write a simple shell script wrapper that your url hits and have it append the map_timestamp_feature_text in the url along with the current data/time as text, then have it exec mapserver. This would allow you to do it transparently on the server using the existing mechanisms. -Steve W.

I can come up with some creative "point to point guessing" solutions for horizontal and vertical lines but the difficulty comes with angled lines. The tolerance becomes an issue too because the users rarely would actually select the exact point between two line points. E.g. myline = ----- user selected point = * line point = O (100 200) O----------------------*-------------O (200 200) Are there some functions built into PostGIS/PostgreSQL? Eric From dmorissette at DMSOLUTIONS.CA Mon Oct 25 15:30:33 2004 From: dmorissette at DMSOLUTIONS.CA (Daniel Morissette) Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 18:30:33 -0400 Subject: MapServer 4.4.0-beta1 released Message-ID: Hi, The MapServer team is working hard to bring you a release of MapServer 4.4.0 before the end of this year. The first step towards the release is MapServer 4.4.0-beta1 which we are proud to release today. You can find more details on the release plan in the wiki at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleasePlan44 There are still several issues/bugs being worked on, but the software is in very good shape and ready for power users to start playing with the new features and report any issues they may find. If you think you found a bug then please use bugzilla. We have done a feature freeze a few days ago, so there will be no more new developments before 4.4.0, just fixes. The mapserver-4.4.0-beta1.tar.gz source package should be available on the main MapServer website shortly. In the meantime you can get it from http://maptools.org/dl/mapserver-4.4.0-beta1.tar.gz The documentation team is in the process of bringing the documentation up to date for 4.4. The latest version of the docs is available at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/develop_index.html I will include at the end of this message a rough list of what's new in MapServer 4.4. Windows binaries are also available: Howard Butler wrote: > > MapServer 4.4.0 beta1 Windows Binaries are available at: > http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/beta_4_4_0 > > I have compiled a 4.4.0 beta1 "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. > > Oracle Spatial and SDE are *not* provided, but if you are interested, > contact me off list. > > Python MapScript is also available. Finally, PHP MapScript binaries for Windows should be available in a few minutes at http://maptools.org/php_mapscript/index.phtml?page=downloads.html Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Morissette dmorissette at dmsolutions.ca DM Solutions Group http://www.dmsolutions.ca/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Here is a rough list of what's new in MapServer 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 may be completed in time for the final release). * 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. -------------- More detailed excerpt from HISTORY.TXT: Version 4.4.0-beta1 (2004-10-21) -------------------------------- - 'make 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.

To do this, I iterate through all the objects, up to the object count. I got the whole thing pretty much working, except that currently I find the number of objects in a layer by creating a shapefileObj object, and getting the "numshapes" variable. I guess this is not too clean, because there could be other types of layers. What is the most ideal way to iterate through all objects in a layer?

Blaine, As far as I can tell your approach is reasonable, but then I didn't see query template. I don't actually use queries very often but as far as I know they should work the same for VRT/ODBC layers as they do for other OGR layers. You may need to be careful about uppercase/lower case for attribute names. Verify the attributes returned by ogrinfo.exe against your .vrt file against the names for the attributes in your query template. Sorry I don't have more constructive suggestions.

From what I understand in the specs is that beside the WellKnowName symbols, you have the possiblity to use an external graphic symbol using an URL to point to a symbol (GIF, SVG ...any MIME type supported). I don't think there are other mecanism (or mybe I missed it). Mapserver supports external symbols as GIF and PNGs but not any vector symboloy like svg. Not sure how we can accomodate mapsever symbology unless we do specific support in the sld to be able to read mapserver symbol file (something like this) : reading symbol 4 in the symbol file : mapserer_sym But this is really out of the specs.

Message-ID: Hello, I'm using some WMS layers with SDE (8.2) as datasources. In the older version of Mapserver (4.2) I had problems with getting the WMS capabilities when I use VERSION=1.1.1 statement. There the output was truncated. With VERSION=1.1.0 it worked. GetMap worked with both versions. This problem should be solved with the new SDE connection pooling so I compiled Mapserver version 4.4.0 beta1 but now both (VERSION=1.1.0 and 1.1.1) capabilities are truncated. Now I'm a little bit insecure if this is a problem for others too or if this is only my problem. Before I continue to make another bug entry it would be nice to have some feedback. If someone can check and report the result it would be helpful for me.

Putting STATUS ON in a mapserver layer definition really means it can be turned on by the end-user if requested. A shortcut for now is to set the status to DEFAULT. Note there may be other stuff you are missing, I'm not to sure. I normally have an "init page" that sets up a few hidden variables for context.

No, not between two dbf files with the "standard" mapserver join mechanism. You certainly can with postgis (not dbf's) and I think you may be able to with OGR joins (with dbf's).

You can change "label" to some other name (say myLabel) and then declare a style for it: Chameleon automatically adds some stylesheets to the template for its own built in styling. You can usually replace these styles with your own, especially when you control the html as is the case with the legend template. > > Third, and finally?

I've played with EXTENT and SCALE, but > without the desired results. Is it possible to do this somehow? set the initial extents in the map file to be the extents you want to be shown initially. Next, add your full extents to the metadata of the web object as follows: MAP # ... WEB METADATA "original_projection" "init=epsg:42101" "original_extents" "-2594561,-2312631,3467361,2240000" END END # ... END projection is not necessary unless the projection of the original extents is different from the starting projection. NOTE the extents are comma separated, unlike the MAP EXTENTS which are space separated. Normally, Chameleon initializes this metadata when the map is first loaded. However, if this metadata is already set, then it will not set it. These are the extents that are then used by the ZoomFullExtents widget.

By doing this,it is also querying an actual shapefile that it is and returning the data from the shapefile along with the VRT layer data. The error again, "mapserv(): Web application error. No way to generate a valid map extent from selected shapes." would seem to indicate that there is no way to get a map extent from the VRT layer. The query template has correct data from the tables but the map that is displayed is completely wacked out! I am projection XY coords in LAT/LONG on the fly to UTM. Could that be part of the problem? I could send screen shots of the original map and then the query map if that would help. Anything else I can try?

Data and information are extracted from heterogeneous sources as they are generated....This makes it much easier and more efficient to run queries over data that originally came from different sources." Big databases as you had rightly put. A data warehouse for Census datawarehouse would contain, say, data from 1901 upto current census. It would enable us to analyse the growth rate of many factors with many parameters over time scale (different dimensions of data analysed for facts!). Data Mining could correlate different factors which are otherwise taken for disconnected. (For ex. bread and butter/jam are many times bought together and so on.. for a decision maker, keeping these items together would benefit in making the customer buy both and so on..) Many commercial products are available for datawarehouse building/analysing. For ex. SAS, IBM Business Intelligence, COGNOS are a few and database services include Oracle OLAP Service, MS SQL OLAP, etc.. Many leading datawarehousing products combine GIS for effective analysis and planning. Hope that was n't too much! Also, it would be very helpful if you could let me know how to add proper indexing support to the OGR MITAB driver, pls..

So here is short Sum: There could me two main reasons for this problem: * read permissions to cgi's * too old version of Mapserver - included OGR does not support ODBC virtual data sources In my case first case was not the reason, because virt.ovf file resides in the same directory where I keep my map files, and my mapserver runs fine without virtual data layer. The reason was too old version - in this case 4.0.1. First I tried version 4.2.5. but it is likely compiled with Oracle support and asks for oci.dll, so I tried version 4.4.beta-1 and it works... But one thing appears I think, that is is a bug: My old map files running with mapserv.exe, contained reference map with image format JPG. Despite that in Docs are written that it should be GIF, old version 4.0.1. works with JPG, but new version hangs - browser shows that someting is retrieved but nothing appears. Of course, when I changed format to GIF, my old mapfiles works again. brgds Janeks Kamerovskis > -----Original Message----- > From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU]On > Behalf Of Janeks Kamerovskis > Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 10:12 AM > To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU > Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Help: Setting Virtual Spatial data > > > Hi, All! > > I tried to set up Virtual spatial data layer using ODBC: > I made virtual data file: virt.ovf > And tested it with ogrinfo.exe: > That says: > INFO: Open of `e:\MapServer\MapDefs\virt.ovf' > using driver `VRT' successful. > I put virtual layer in map file. > But server responds: > Warning: [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named > 'mylayer'. in E:\webFolders\ipasumi\test2.php on line 57 > > Warning: [MapServer Error]: msOGRFileOpen(): Open failed for OGR > connection > `E:\MapServer\mapDefs\virt.ovf'.

The proble is that the labels on the border of the GRIDS are shown twice. This is because of the BUFFER parameter. Mapserver shows both the label at the normal position (on the grid line) and also the buffered label at a certain distance. I partially solv ed the problem eliminating the BUFFER option in the label section. In the previously installed Mapserver version (4.0) the same mapfile worked well and the buffer option acted as it was expected putting the laber at 4 or 5 pixel distance from the line. I include the code of the grid layer in the mapfile: Giorgio Plazzotta Assemini - Italy LAYER NAME "Reticolo UTM/WGS84" GROUP "Localizzazione geografica" STATUS OFF MINSCALE 1 MAXSCALE 2000000 TYPE LINE CLASS COLOR 128 128 128 LABEL FONT fritqat TYPE truetype POSITION AUTO #BUFFER 5 SIZE 7 COLOR 128 128 128 PARTIALS FALSE END END PROJECTION "init=epsg:23033" "ellps=WGS84" "zone=32" "north" "no_defs" END GRID LABELFORMAT "%.0f" MAXARCS 5 MAXSUBDIVIDE 2 END END -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Maybe you should have a look at MS4W: http://maptools.org/ms4w/

MS4W includes an Apache server and everything you need to get running
quickly, I would suggest that you just use that. However if you insist
on configuring your own components one by one, you could always learn
some tricks from the MS4W config files.

    I am still working on my wireless app for using Mapserver from a Nextel
phone. 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?

Thanks,
Andy

This sounds like a job for a MapServer OGC:WFS GetFeature request with
filter, i.e.:

http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=[mapfile]&version=1.0.0&service=WFS&requ
est=GetFeature&typename=[layername]&filter[field_name][attribute_value]&

(fill in values in "[]" with your own).

By definition, this will returned to you all matching features encoded
as a GML (XML) document.  The opening information of this document will
provided the bounding box of all features returned.

You can have some middleware which connects to the WFS, makes the
request, then processes the info accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Andy,

Mapserver calls search "QUERY" and there are two basic kinds of queries
that can be performed:
  1) spatial queries, ie: point and radius or bounding box
  2) attribute queries, which search for objects that have attributes
that match the query conditions.

Spatial queries are good if you have a lat/lon like from a GPS and you
want to search you layers and find out where you are. Attribute queries
are good if you want to find say a parcel based on a parcel id and then
zoom the map to that location.

Most all of the variants that you might want to customize can be done in
mapscript so you don't have to dive into changing the C-api.

Tom,
I already have XML parsing built into the app for some other stuff it does
so that sounds like a good solution to me. Can I run that against a regular
mapfile with regular layers or do I need to set up wms layers?
Thanks,

OGC:WMS serves images and simple point based queries.  For enhanced
queries, you need to setup your mapfile for OGC:WFS.  Check out the
OGC:WFS howto for this
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/wfs-server-howto.html).

Carlos,

My guess would be that either the ming library isn't being linked in at
all (check for -lming in the Makefile) or the version of the ming library
you have is incompatible with what MapServer requires.

Humberto,

I believe you can work around this problem either by configuring and building
GDAL without libtool (the .la file is a pseudo-library file only understood
by libtool), or by acutally doing a "make install" of GDAL into /usr/local,
and using the /usr/local/bin/gdal-config instead of the one "in the source tree".

Generally I advise against trying to use GDAL directly from it's build tree.
While I have tried to make this option work, it is fraught with perils.

Good luck,

Blaine,

I'm afraid I have lost track of your situtation.  I don't see any immediate
object reason that extents wouldn't be calculatable from the VRT data
source, but that could be the issue.  I doubt I can help much unless you can
boil down a set of data, a map file and a few queries that demonstrate some
of your problems.  Extracting the table(s) in question to .dbf files but
still having the VRT work against them might make it easier for you to
make a standalone demonstration of the problem you are running into that
I could test at my end.

Given my short attention span, the key to getting help is making it so I
can reproduce your error with very little effort at my end.  Once I see something
I believe to be an error, I am much more motivated to dig in and figure out
what is going wrong.

I suspect similar issues would apply for the other developers.

Best regards,

You need libming 0.2a not the latest version 0.3, otherway mapserver doesn't
compile.

Thanks for reply. In fact this post was written by man who works with
mapscript in our project. He was unable to subscribe mapserver mailing
list (I had some problems too). Unfortunately this guy moved for few
days and now it's my problem to make it works.
As You adviced I prepared small .map file and mapscript is able to
display grids. After next few hours I discovered that the problem is
with CLASS in raster layer. When there is created any CLASS, raster
layer isn't displayed (in fact it's displayed in white). When I change
COLOR then whole layer has COLOR color.
To prepare legend (with ability to turn on/off layers) is used
layer->numclasses what is logical, because some vector layers has few
classes which has to be showed separate.

So my actual question is: how can I create class in raster layer and
keep ability to display this layer on map?

Marcin

Marcin,

In fact there is no way to let MapServer do "regular" rendering of a raster
layer if there are any classes.  If there are classes, they are used to color
the raster.

As I understand it, you were creating a class on the layer in an effort to
introduce a legend entry, is that right?  Lots of folks run into the same
issue and I think we need a different way of introducing legend entries.

I have add mapserver-users back into the address since some of this information
could be of use to others.

Best regards,

Hi,

did you already read the Raster HOWTO document?

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/raster-howto.html

In short, here is an example:

    CLASSITEM "[pixel]"
    CLASS
      EXPRESSION ([pixel] < 64)
      NAME "less than 64"
      COLOR 0 0 0
    END
    CLASS
      EXPRESSION ([pixel] >= 64 AND [pixel] < 128)
      NAME "64 to 128"
      COLOR 255 0 0
    END

Sadly to hear. I would try to change legend code to check is it raster
layer and treats it as one "object" and in case of vector checks all
classes. But now I think crumble it to class level was logical mistake,
because I'm not able (am I right?) to turn off specific class, only
layer. So checks map->numlayers should be enough.
Maybe there is another (better) technique to make legends in mapscript?

Marcin

Yes, I read it. But in my case raster has its own colors (it's something
like hipsometrial map (map contains level of ground - I don't know how
it is in English)) and I wouldn't have to defines these levels on my
own. I wanted to declare it (class) only to use in legend.

Hi Marcin,

okay then I misunderstood your question ...

I ran into the same problem in August 2004 (the thread is called raster
legends). Paul Spencer then suggested using KEYIMAGE but I never gave it a
try.

BTW: a shame you can't google the new listserv for the Mapserver mailing
list (or am I missing something?), I even don't know if linking to a
message will work, I'll give it a try though:

This was the thread I am referring to:

I tried it. KEYIMAGE has to be in CLASS and we return to start point.
Actually I paint icons in legend only for shapes
(Class->createLegendIcon()). For rasters there is only text read from
METADATA. Maybe I add custom image painted via GD or image read from
file (via METADATA). It will depend on final maps which will had to
displayed (and solutions which I will find :) ).

The same thing happens if called by php/mapscript.
I'm using libgd 2.0.28 with gif support enabled.
Did anyone got the same problem ?

Humberto,

I believe you can work around this problem either by configuring and building
GDAL without libtool (the .la file is a pseudo-library file only understood
by libtool), or by acutally doing a "make install" of GDAL into /usr/local,
and using the /usr/local/bin/gdal-config instead of the one "in the source
tree".

Generally I advise against trying to use GDAL directly from it's build tree.
While I have tried to make this option work, it is fraught with perils.

Good luck,

it sounds like mapscript cannot find some dlls....make sure you place

to see what dlls are missing for php_mapscript_40.dll

I have a geotiff which looks very nice colour, except when rendered bt mapserver, when I get a grayscale image on screen. Now that my mapfile displays the vector shapefiles OK, I'm looking at rasters. Some background: The vector data includes elevation contours, coastline & spot heights. I have turned all these into a DEM (grid) & used GMT to draw a hillshade. I use Imagemagick to turn the GMT postscript file into a tif image. As I know the resolution of the image and the extent, it is simple to create a world file & use gdal to turn it into a geotif. The geotif is georeferenced well, & displays in the correct location, overlaid with roads, rivers, etc... in both QGIS & mapserver. (Looks very pretty) In mapserver, however, I get a grayscale image. The geotiff is a 1024x1024 pixel image, colour depth 16. As per the raster how-to, I have checked mapserver & gdal for gtiff support & it seems fine. I assume if it wasn't I wouldn't even get the grayscale output. Any suggestions as to how I can get mapserver to render it in colour?

Brent, Just what exactly do you mean by a color depth of 16? 16 colors in a colormap or a 16bit single band image with 64K colors? A 16bit greyscale image that you would like to have colors applied to? Could you provide a tiffinfo and/or gdalinfo report on the file in question? MapServer doesn't have any support for applying color ramps to images. You could assign classes with colors for a bunch of value ranges but to get a nice ramp you would need to do several dozen classes. It is often better in cases like this to pre-convert the image to 8bit externally, applying a color ramp.

Joe, It depends over what time scale you mean. There was work done in October of 2001 (gee, it didn't seem like it was so long ago) to avoid having cross-dateline polygons and lines get drawn "across the world". I don't think there has been any vector side improvements on anti-meridian issues since then. There was some work done more recently on the raster side. I did setup a wiki topic at: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WorldMappingIssues to discuss anti-meridian and global scale mapping issues. Please feel free to add notes there and/or file a bug for any problems you encounter that you think are solvable.

The problem is that by including a CLASS statement in the layer definition the whole rendering process switches to a classification based scheme. I am not sure why you even see the image in greyscale. There must be some sort of fallback colortable. But as soon as numclasses>0 the renderer switches to using only one band, and a colormap to render with. You get a different report with PROCESSING "BANDS=1,2,3" because the rendering code recognises an inconsistency between specifically requesting 3 bands, and asking to use image classification (single band only). In the default case it just ignores extra bands and uses the first. So, just blow that CLASS away. What was it intended to accomplish? Populate a legend or something?

This seems to be true because it does not find any object if I use a point in image coordinates even if using a very large buffer. So how do I transform a point from image coordinates to map coordinates ? Is there another way to do a query by a point directly using a point in image coordinates ?

In-Reply-To: <9138808AB827D311B56800E018900A61177A4E@gdppdc.gdp.com> Message-ID: Dear list First of all, let me thank the developers and the active user list for their excellent contribution towards open source GIS. Ours is a premier IT organization under Ministry of IT, Govt of India with Head Quarters at Delhi. We had recently hosted an open source GIS workshop at Chennai which was inaugurated by our GIS head Dr Vandana Sharma. Participants included a few GIS representatives from 5-6 states across the country. It was successful in bringing the awareness to our own people on the availability of many open source tools for GIS. I had also presented our OSS-GIS initiatives at Chennai during DISNIC workshops at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala and Geography Dept, Madurai Kamaraj University in Tamil Nadu. We had also conducted OSS-GIS awareness workshop at Geography Dept, Madras University. I hope now many heads would turn towards Open Source software and especially MapServer/PostGIS. I would like to express my sincere thanks to one and all of you for your contribution. My special thanks to Mrs Gayathri Swaminathan, Oklahama University for sharing her PPT on WMS/WFS features with MapServer during our workshop. I would like to know further on the following: 1. Is there any open source tool available for datawarehousing? if so some links would be appreciated. 2. Has anyone combined datawarehousing/datamining techniques with GIS using opens source tools? 3. Is there any tool to convert shape file to indexed tab file? ogr2ogr does convert shapefile to tab file but the resultant tab file requires to be indexed on specific fields. This I don't know how to do. If somebody could throw some light on this, it would be of great help to us. Thanking you in advance.. with regards, Mahalakshmi Narayanan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.

Currently I'm struggling to get our maps running again, line and polygon shapes are working fine. One of the major problems instead is caused by PIXMAP symbols for point shapes. As the annotation labels for each point show up the symbol image is missing. The symbol is a small PNG file. Assuming palette problems I have tried to use 256 colors and RGB colors for the symbol in combination with both IMAGEMODE PC256 and RGB for the map image. Neither combination works so far. Although using a simple vector symbol for the point shape from symbols.sym does work. The relating file snippets look like this: symbols.sym: --------------- SYMBOL Name 'baustelle' Type PIXMAP Image 'images/baustelle.png' END The map file: --------------- OUTPUTFORMAT NAME png DRIVER "GD/PNG" MIMETYPE "image/png" IMAGEMODE RGB EXTENSION "png" END . .

Norman, I think the problem is that the resolution is used to compute a resolution but your whole database is only 360x180 so 180/300 rounds to zero. Keep in mind that when your dataset is in geographic coordinates the resolution is going to be in degrees, not meters. So, try something like RESX=0.0027&RESY=0.0027. That should give you a resolution of approximately 300m. Also, you should correct your resolution metadata in your .map file accordingly. I noticed it was misdeclared last night but forgot to mention it.

In my mind it is equated with holding all the data in a big database. Perhaps you could be more specific about the datawarehousing capabilities you need for those of us not to "up" on such IT terms. > 3.

There is support in the MITAB library for indexing attribute fields but the OGR library doesn't utilize it. You could potentially write a small standalone utility using MITAB to index fields, or we could work together to add proper indexing support to the OGR MITAB driver. Ironically, the OGR Shapefile driver actually uses the MITAB attribute indexing support to build .dbf indexes in the mapinfo format.

For me, this crashes Python: layerO = mapscript.layerObj(mapO) But this works OK: layerO = mapscript.layerObj() mapO.insertLayer(layerO) However, if I then check layerO.index, I get 1634300513. That's a lot of layers. If I check mapO.getLayersDrawingOrder(), I get _30fc8200_p_int. Is this a typemap issue? If I try layerO.promote() or layerO.demote(), I'm told those methods don't exist. I'm still trying to figure this one out. Let me know if you make any headway.

And although promote and demote don't seem to be in mapscript.py, we can use mapO.moveLayerDown(index), so that's cool...

Any success? JF, I am locally working with it on FC2 with Apache2. It looks like mapserv is terminating with an exit(1) somewhere somewhat early. Does the mapserv work properly in plain cgi-mode? The same executable build should operate in either mode. I usually like to start by debugging in plain cgi mode to verify that works, and then invoke it in fastcgi mode. Also, are you using it in WMS or "traditional mapserver" mode? Currently only WMS is formally supported.

My test was calling mapserv without any parameters, just for testing, especting the standard "no query set" error message. The FastCGI compiled version works just fine in standard CGI mode. I too was rather intrigued by the fact that the process seemed to keep dying unexpectedly, something rather hard to track down. Although, now that you mention the WMS thing, could it be that the simple fact that I was using non WMS requests was causing problem. Under your current implementation, what is the expected behavior if a non-WMS request comes in through FastCGI ? I'll try a more complex configuration along the lines of what Paul suggested in the mean time. Honestly I don't NEED it, but I'm always glad to get the extra performance anywhere I can, and this should normally be pretty straightforward to setup :P thanks, J.F. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Warmerdam [mailto:warmerdam at pobox.com] Sent: October 28, 2004 3:34 PM To: Jean-Francois.Doyon at CCRS.NRCAN.GC.CA Cc: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Problems with FastCGI in 4.4-beta1 Jean-Francois Doyon wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to get the FactCGI version working, but am not having any luck: > > [Thu Oct 28 14:45:40 2004] [notice] Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) mod_fastcgi/2.4.2 > configured -- resuming normal operations > [Thu Oct 28 14:45:40 2004] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) > [Thu Oct 28 14:45:44 2004] [warn] FastCGI: server > "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/mapserv" (pid 9471) terminated by calling exit > with status '1' ... > Where the mapserv executable was in apache's default cgi-bin directory. > > I'm on CentOS (RHEL 3), with apache 1.3.31 and FastCGI 2.4.2 ... > > Anybody else tried this yet?

It's better design to use methods of the container. In the next beta I'll make sure that the index of a new layer is initialized to something sensible. Meanwhile, I cannot reproduce your problem with creating a new layerObj instance with a mapObj argument. I have a test case for this in the unit tests and it always passes. Please report the error that occurs and I'll work on it. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From JZeisloft at GMAIL.COM Thu Oct 28 16:45:12 2004 From: JZeisloft at GMAIL.COM (Jennifer Zeisloft) Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2004 18:45:12 -0500 Subject: Legend, Layers, and Scale In-Reply-To: <39f3850104102816336b415e49@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: Hello All... I am a very new user of MapServer, Chameleon, etc. and I have a few questions I have not yet been able to answer with the documentation and archives. I would really appreciate any help that you offer. First, I have a couple layers in my map that I do not want to show in the legend, or that I would like in the legend, but without the option to turn them off. I am using a legend template, a legend object in the map file, and a chameleon template. I have been able to figure out how to place permanent checks in the layer on/off checkbox (or get rid of it entirely), how to get rid of the select layer radio buttons, and how to delete layers from the legend without deleting them from the map. However, as soon as the map refreshes, the layers not in the legend or those without a layer on/off checkbox also disappear from the map. If the layer on/off check is removed from a layer that I wish to be on permanently and the map is refreshed, the check remains in the box, but the layer still disappears. I've attached the legend template and map file to this email. The chameleon template I am using is essentially the "sample_enhanced" template that comes with the tutorial (it doesn't seem to me that altering anything in this would help with my legend problems). Second, the names of the classes in my legend appear in a different font and size than those of the layers. Adding classes also changes the alignment of the layer names. I was able to change the font and size of the class names, but not of the layer names. I also attempted to change the alignment in Dreamweaver, but this didn't seem to accomplish anything. I searched for a style sheet, but I have been able to determine where the font and alignment are defined for the various legend components. Third, and finally? I would like the map to initially appear zoomed in to a certain area. Basically, I want to keep the entire extent available, but when it first loads, I would like it panned and zoomed to a specific location. I've played with EXTENT and SCALE, but without the desired results. Is it possible to do this somehow? Again, I really appreciate any help or hints that are offered. Thanks in advance.
