Thomas,

I don't see anything obviously wrong, but some things that I have battled with in the past were:

- fontlist with wrong font paths

- fontlist cannot be found

- case sensitive (capitals or small) of fieldnames

Why don't you put your labels in the class with the symbols? There is no reason why you should have a separate class for the labels.

regards,

Jacob

Hello,

Jacob is probably right. There is no sense that your LABEL object has a
CLASS object in it. Maybe, it's the good reason why you can't print labels.
Hierarchicaly, you should have :

LAYER
    LABELITEM
    CLASS
       LABEL
       END
    END
END

Subject: MapServer with Postgis 0.8.2 on Win32
Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.112151.0200.STEFANO.BONNINCOMAI.TO>

I have just installed Mapscript 4.3 at 

http://maptools.org/php_mapscript/index.phtml?page=downloads.html

and I have installed Postgres 8.0.0beta1 and Postgis 0.8.2 under a Win32 platform

When I try to run my application that works under linux platform I get a strange error:

**************************************
<b>Warning</b>:  [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named 'lyr_40'.
 in <b>c:\programmi\apache group\apache\htdocs\crs\gisKernel.map</b> on line <b>441</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  [MapServer Error]: prep_DB(): Couldnt recover from a bad query: 
'DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT type::text,asbinary(force_collection(force_2d(the_geom)),'NDR'),gid::text from (SELECT the_geom,gid,type,name,poi_id from edtlyr_40_1 WHERE site_id = 1) as foo WHERE the_geom && setSRID('BOX3D(1405925.84354588 5001310.327485,1406917.73083212 5002055.106963)'::BOX3D, -1 )'

 in <b>c:\programmi\apache group\apache\htdocs\crs\gisKernel.map</b> on line <b>441</b><br />
****************************************

1) I think that this depends from 2 different postgis version. What version of postgis is compiled with the last mapscript version?

2) I noticed that the last version of postgis has a different geometry_columns table. How can I migrate with a pg_dump to a 0.8.2 version?

Thanks in advance.

No, you probably just read another interview where Jack Dangermond

I'd swear I just read something, somewhere, saying it could.  Or was I
assuming that "interoperability" meant consume and not just serve up?

Joel;

If you create a rectObj using the specified extent you can use
layer->queryByRect to query the point(s) into the layer resultcache and
then use layer->getResult & resultCacheMemberobj->shapeindex to retrieve
the shapeindex for each of the resulting points.
If your id in the mysql database corresponds to the shapeindex your all
set. If not then you will need to use an xbase module to pull the nth
(shapeindex) record from the dbf file to obtain the id that links to the
id in the mysql table.

Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.092542.0400.CHRIS.JUDDDEP.STATE.FL.US>

Paul,

You're right.  Here is the response from my ESRI support request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----

In answer to your question about whether ArcIMS accepts WMS services as an
input the answer is that it can not.  This is a feature that others have
expressed interest in and the request does have a tracking id of CQ00239065.
The problem is that it does require pretty significant work to the spatial
server and some re-architecting of the spatial server.  Right now work isn't
being undertaken, but it isn't off the radar either.

        I have added your interest for this functionality to the request.  

        One approach is to use cascading style sheets in your web application
to layer two WMS output images from different sources on top of one another
with the top one having a transparent background.  

        Another approach is that ArcMap Server does serve up data from other
IMS servers (though not WMS, not even with the interoperability extension).
So if the other site you want to serve up is an ArcIMS site you may be able
to consume their service through ArcMap Server.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bummer.

Probably a question best directed to an ESRI representative.
My best knowledge is that currently the answer is "no", ArcIMS can only
"cascade" against ArcMap web services.

Subject: distanceToPoint RFC
Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.094805.0400.LFILAKMEDINACO.ORG>

Hello all.
Given an address point somewhere in 2D space and several centerline line
shapes related to the point only by the road name, I have been looking
for some way to use mapscript functions to detect which line shape is
closest to the point.
At first I thought distanceToShape was the answer but then after looking
at the source code it appears that distanceToShape will actually extend
the line shape in both directions (if necessary) to determine the
"perpendicular" distance to the shape.
In addition, because the operation is a mathematical calculation, and
does not actually construct anything, the point where the distance
vector intersects the line does not have a known x & y.
Am I reading the source correctly?
The current plan is to identify the polygon shape in which the point
resides, identify the line shape(s) comprising that polygon which match
the points roadname, & then calculate a vector between each point of
each line shape and the starting point to see which line is the closest
and which direction is travelled to reach it.
Am I missing an alternate method that is readily available?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello All,

I use hundred's geoTiff's files with Tileindex + some shp files.
Everything goes right except the situation when I want to view a part of an area without raster files(no data).

Then the following error is displayed: "msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'rastr'"

LAYER # raster layer begins here
    NAME rastr
    TILEINDEX "stc"

Thanks for any suggestions.

Subject: Need help to compile mapserver-4.2.2 under windows
Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.094847.0500.BAIJINGYUHOTMAIL.COM>

We have to use it under windows and need to compile it by changing some
parameters. I am following the instruction "MapServer Win32 Compilation and
Installation HOWTO"(a little bit old) and the reame.win32 file coming from
mapserver downloaded source file of version mapserver-4.2.2. I can
successfully compiled some supporting libraries such as gdal-1.2.1 /
freetype-2.1.3 / curl-7.12.1 / proj-4.4.8 /zlib121. The other libraries
like GD library I can't compile it (no make file for windows)instead I
downloaded a binary DLL version gd-2.0.28 and used "makemsvcimport.bat" to
build bgd.lib . I can't compile REGEX library neither (no make file for
windows) but I found one version from internet which is win32 port of GNU
REGEX. Now I modified the nmake.opt file to comment unnecessary optional
lines and then change the libraries path to point to my real libraries
location. I run "nmake /f Makefile.vc" and got error in the end as the
following. I hit the wall and and can't figure out which library is wrong
or missing. Could somebody in this user group help me out? I really
appreciate your help.

It seems mapserver.lib and mapserver_i.lib were created but no exe file

successful? Why do I see the map server binary distribution has bunch of

Hello,

I have found a great place for retrieving data.  HOWEVER the issue is
the files are in .E00 ArcInfo Export format.  I would like to get these
into a format I can use with mapserver (as an OGR connection is fine).
Does anyone know of something that will convert these files into
something I can use?  I have found at least one program, but it is part
of another package that costs well over $1,000.  I don't particularly
want to buy an entire package, for one function out of it.  And I really
don't want to spend $1,000+.

I appreciate any help anyone can give me on this issue.

What would really be great is if mapserver can now read .E00 files.  But
I hadn't found it thus far.

Thank you,

Jerl

CHeck on sourceforge for e00 and shapefile, and I think you'll find
several working packages.

Jerl,

You can use the avce00 package to convert e00 coverages into arc/info
binary coverages which are supported by OGR.  See:

   http://avce00.maptools.org/

Other options may exist.

Best regards,

Hi Bai:
I am assuming you are using MSVC6

The linker error "unresolved external symbol _printchar" is because regex.obj,it does not exist in your regex folder or is corrupt.

Resolution: Please recompile with regex to resolve. There have been requests for a regex makefile previously to the list....and you should find one in the archives...if not let me know and I could send you the same.

The other errors: are from your GDAL library...

Can you explain how you compiled GDAL...as to what was enabled in the nmake.opt for GDAL?

Gayathri

Hi,

For these SQL (ODBC) functions you will need to add odbc32.lib to your
link line.

For the regfree/regcomp/regexec stuff you need a regex library.  If you can't
find it from another source I can send you the one I use for windows builds.
Contact me directly if you need that.

PS. Building MapServer on windows can be quite challenging.  Good luck!

Best regards,

I've had great success using Daniel Morissette's avcimport program.
http://avce00.maptools.org/avce00/avce00.html#avcimport

Then you can use ogrinfo to examine the data and OGR to display it in
mapserver.

1) avcimport <file.e00> <ouput_dir>
which will create <output_dir> and <info_dir> in the current directory.
2) ogrinfo <output_dir>
will give you the list of layers available, I think always: ARC, PAL,
LAB and CNT.
3) orginfo <output_dir> <layer_name> will give you projection info,
extents, attributes, etc and much OGC WKT data.
4)Then create a layer:
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "<output_dir>"
DATA "<layer_name>"  (PAL, ARC, LAB, CNT)

I'm pretty sure PAL is polygon data, ARC is lines, LAB is labels, CNT is
points but I'm no OGR expert.

Hello,

I wanted to dynamically add shapes to a layer, and have the added shapes
inherits the transparency of the underlying layer.

However, these objects are drawn opaque on the map. I guess the
transparency is not computed after the Map->draw(). Heres the code I
used:


dl('php_mapscript.so');
$map = ms_newMapObj('test/test.map');

$outline_layer = $map->getLayerByName('polygon_triangle');

$shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POLYGON);

$r = ms_newRectObj();
$r->setextent(-0.2, 51.6222, 0.5, 51.977222);

$img = $map->draw();

$r->draw($map, $outline_layer, $img, 0, false);

$img->saveImage('out.jpeg');


Mapfile:

The produced image is out.jpeg. We see there that there is no
transparency.

I noticed by the way a strange behaviour (bug?) when using png image
format: The colour of the dynamically added shape is taken from the
previous layer, as it can be seen on the attached image out.png.

As an alternative to the shape->draw() method, I wanted to use the
addFeature method:

$outline_layer = $map->getLayerByName('polygon_triangle');

$shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POLYGON);

$r = ms_newRectObj();
$r->setextent(-0.2, 51.6222, 0.5, 51.977222);

$outline_layer->addFeature($r);

$img = $map->draw();

But I got the following:

"Fatal error:  Object has an invalid _handle_ property" on the line
"map->draw()".

Thanks for any infos,

Sylvain

Others have given good suggestions re: OGR.  If you're on a Windows box,
another option is the standalone ESRI import71.exe executable, which can
convert e00 files to binary coverages.

Hi list,

does anybody know how to generate a legend in a new frame ? Or as a

Hi:

Like Frank says it can be quite challenging to compile in windows....

I had to recompile regex...as mine got corrupt. I got a copy of the makefile from Ed...long time ago..Please find attached.

I do not think GD is your problems..it would rather be GDAL...

Seems like you have ODBC support enabled in your nmake.opt......Please follow Frank's recommendation

As there are no other errors apart from the ones related to regex and GDAL...I think..recompiling other libraries wont be necessary....


Thanks
Gayathri

Subject: Need help to compile mapserver-4.2.2 under windows
Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.095046.0600.BFRASERGEOANALYTIC.COM>

Some notes on compiling Mapserver 4.2.2 on Windows:

Regex:
=====
    Around line 419 of Mapserver 4.2.2 nmake .opt file, change:
REGEX_OBJ=$(REGEX_DIR)\regex.obj
    to
REGEX_OBJ=$(REGEX_DIR)\regex.obj $(REGEX_DIR)\test\printchar.obj


GD v2.0.28
=========
   I haven't figured out how to compile this version of GD yet.  They've
changed their method of function decoration and  VC++ 6 refuses to compile
it (which is strange since their changes seem to be specifically for
Windows;  I'm sure I just need to set some compiler option).  For now I use
your method of downloading the binary package.

SQL Errors
========
Your "SQL" errors may be due to different settings in GDAL's nmake.opt and
Mapserver's nmake.opt.  Check to make sure both have the same value for
ODBC_SUPPORTED.


When your compile is successful, mapserv.exe will be created (and other
exes), and libmap.dll

The Mapserver compile How-to explains about some of the executables and
dlls.

Subject: PHP/Mapscript - Layer Color
Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.112319.0500.TERRYWOODTROOP.COM>

Greetings,
    I am using PHP/Mapscript version 4.2.2 and I cannot figure out how
to change the color of a layer. If I filter an existing layer (with a
WHERE clause) I get output, but I cannot change the color of the layer
on the screen.

Here is a section of my code :

// Load Mapscript
dl("php_mapscript.so");

<>// Load MapServer .map file

<>$map = ms_newMapObj("/data/maps/hpWork.map");

// Query

$layer = ms_newLayerObj($map, $map->getLayerByName("Parcels"));

$layer->setFilter("parcelid IN ('0000-27-009-012-0-001-01','0000-14-008-008-0-001-01')");

$layer->set("status",MS_ON);

// Draw Map

$img = $map->draw();

$url = $img->saveWebImage();


I am not going to show all of my failed attempts at changing the layer
colors... Anybody know how to do this?

Alberto,

It seems to be a projection issue.  Since you don't have a projection
section in your layer definition, make sure your data are in the same
projection system as your map file.  Otherwise, add a projection section to
your layer.  Also try to use FROM in small caps in your data sentence...

Subject: Query shapes in certain extent
Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.133158.0400.JOELFGNETCONSULTING.COM>

Lowell/List:

I updated my code, as you suggested.  The results are coming out
now, but seem to be a page behind.  An example:

I have states that have points in each.  So, say you choose
Florida.  It should have 247 points.  If you then choose Alaska,
it now says 247 (which was Florida from before).  If you go
to another state (that should have 0, it finds 7).

I'm also assuming the index pulled is the one in sensors.shx?  I
really need to pull the ID from sensors.dbf.

I'm attaching my code and map file segment.  Any/all suggestions
would be appreciated.

Thanks!

MAP File ========================

END

PHP Code: ========================

// get our sensor layer
  $myLayer = $gmfMap->getLayerByName("sensors");
  $myLayer->set("status", 1);

  // create a rectangle object to search in and set the extent (from
querystring params)
  $rectObj = ms_newRectObj();
  $rectObj->setextent($_GET["minx"], $_GET["miny"], $_GET["maxx"],
$_GET["maxy"]);

  // query the points in the chosen space
  @$myLayer->queryByRect($rectObj);

  // find out how many results we found
  $shpCount = $myLayer->GetNumResults();

  // loop through our results, and process accordingly
  if ($shpCount) {
   for ($i = 0; $i < $shpCount; $i++) {
    // get our result
    $layerIndex = $myLayer->getResult($i);
    $arrShapes[] = $layerIndex->shapeindex;

Yeah, it's a bit of a joke!

None of the Arc version 9 products support WMS / WFS / WCS.

Subject: Experimental cartographic library for Python
Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.121459.0600.SGILLIESFRII.COM>

Greetings, fellow MapServing Pythoneers:

I am finally following through on my threat, or promise :),
to start a new and improved MapServer scripting package for Python.
My primary motivation is to improve my ZMapServer product and to
share the benefits with Python applications running on other
frameworks.

A introductory web page is at

     http://users.frii.com/sgillies/projects/PCL/mapping.html

API documentation generated by epydoc

     http://users.frii.com/sgillies/projects/PCL/html/

Source for an initial release

     http://users.frii.com/sgillies/projects/PCL/PCL-0.2.tar.gz

If the Python Cartographic Module interests you, please contact me
by email:

     <sgillies at frii dot com>

I am always open to suggestions, and would appreciate hearing about
your particular use cases. If you think that you'd like to contribute
your own programming resources, we can start to discuss the details
of your contribution and whether or not to upload the project to
Sourceforge.

Does this mean I am ending my contributions to and support for
MapServer?

Absolutely not.

Nor is this an attempt to fork MapServer.

The new module will rely heavily on MapServer and should help to
lead MapServer towards improvement in key areas.  I will continue
to work on SWIG mapscript bugs and useability issues, but will no
longer be advocating the kind of sweeping changes to the mapscript
API that you may have heard from me over beers at the past users
meeting :)

Once again, respond to me if interested so that we don't have
off topic emails on the mapserver-users and mapserver-dev lists.
I'll set up a new list if the response warrants.  I'm almost
always available on #mapserver irc.freenode.net for discussion.

At an ESRI user conference in Calgary I cornered a ESRI guy from
Redlands and asked him about more support for WMS with ArcIMS and he
indicated that WMS was just a fad and as such they wouldn't invest
time/effort until it was proven to be anything more then a fad.

Subject: Assign Data to a point for query with mapscript?
Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.122834.0600.KENSANDNARROWS.COM>

Hello all. I am using mapscript to create a layer object and add a
series of points that get displayed on the map. Everything is working
fine. The layer shows up in the legend, points on the map where they
should be, etc. Is there a way to add data to the points that can be
returned when the user performs a query?

Searching through the archives I see several examples of using Xbase to
create/edit dbf files. I don't really want to create a file, the
information will only exist as long as the user session.

Thanks,

Ken

The only data you can get back from a query is the shapeindex. If you
are adding the points to your layer dynamically e.g.
$layer->addFeature($shape);

You should have done a $shape->{index} = $id; first.  That $id can be
any numeric value. When you do a:
$layer->queryByPoint();
....
$result->getResult(0);
$id = $result->{shapeindex};
The id will be the one you set above. That can be used to retrieve your
other values, from some lookup table or some database.

There is a Perl example of this approach here:

Message-ID: <WED.1.SEP.2004.202652.0400.ETIENNE.DESGAGNE.1ULAVAL.CA>

Hi Everyone,

I want to install Zmapserver but for now it don't work, here is what I try. So
if someone can see my error...


First, I install Plone (the Plone package is coming with Zope 2.7.0 and Python
2.3.3)

next, I run the mapscript-4.3.win32-py2.3-none.exe. (it detect python and
install mapscript in the python directory)

I extract the directory named 'ZMapServer' from the Zmapserver archive and copy
it into the
'skel/Products' directory of my Zope distribution.

A Zope restart is supposed to register the ZMapServer products but I see nothing
in the zope Management Interface.

I also try to install all this without the Plone package but fail to, what I'm
doing wrong?

Thank a lot !

Joel;

If the results look as if they are one page behind is it because the
get/put that is sent is a "page behind"?
You are correct that the index pulled is not from the dbf. But it is the
corresponding record number in the dbf.

As usual, Eric is right on the mark. One side note, I think it best to
make sure you keep the index you set unique if you're not simply using a
sequential numbering scheme.

and any variable from 1st php file during running of query2 .php.

Are there anyone having any idea ?

kind regards

Subject: getting geo coordinates from image / entering point data
Message-ID: <THU.2.SEP.2004.034005.0400.BRIANENTROPY.NET>

Hi, I want to get geographic (not pixel - found that in archives)
coordinates from an image. Such that one could select a tool, and click
on the map, and you'd end up with the North/Easting, Lat/Lon, etc so I
can pass that to a POST.

(Want people to be able to select a point on the map and then send us a
comment, submit via POST/similar.)

- thanks, bri

Subject: Postgis 0.8.2 doesn't work on Win32
Message-ID: <THU.2.SEP.2004.144214.0200.STEFANO.BONNINCOMAI.TO>

Hi,

I'have just installed Postgres 8.0.0beta1 and postgis 0.8.2 with the postgis installer found at

http://dcmms.sourceforge.net/postgis_installer.php

After some test (failed) with mapserver, I tryed to execute very simple query like:

CREATE TABLE gtest ( ID int4, NAME varchar(20) );
 SELECT AddGeometryColumn('dbname','gtest','geom',-1,'LINESTRING',2);
INSERT INTO gtest (ID, NAME, GEOM) VALUES (1, 'First Geometry', GeometryFromText('LINESTRING(2 3,4 5,6 5,7 8)', -1));

SELECT id, name, AsText(geom) AS geom FROM gtest;

 id |      name      |            geom
----+----------------+-----------------------------
  1 | First Geometry | LINESTRING(2 3,4 5,6 5,7 8)

SELECT id,name FROM GTEST WHERE GEOM  && 'BOX3D(3 4,4 5)'::box3d;

this query crashes the postgres.exe process on "windows XP home SP1"

Can this depend on the OS?

thanks,

RedS

Subject: querymap for labels ?
Message-ID: <THU.2.SEP.2004.135211.0200.PLISTSPROMETHEUS.ORG.YU>

I'm experimenting with querymap but have bumped into a question and
wanted to check if this feature does not exist or did I just miss where
the docs describe it. I have an annotation layer, on which I perform a
query. Now I'd like all the labels that match the query to appear in a
different color but if I define querymap color and style 'hilite', I guess it
changes only the color of the feature, but not the labels, but if I define
the 'selected' style, the non-matched labels do disappear along with the
features they were attached to.

Dear Stefano,

obviosly it does, my WinMapserver/Mapscript 4.2.3 (the same with 4.2.2)
from maptools.org is not crashing PostgreSQL anymore and the error line
is slightly nicer ;-):

*Warning*: [MapServer Error]: prep_DB(): Couldnt recover from a bad
query: 'DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT
asbinary(force_collection(force_2d(the_geom)),'NDR'),OID::text from not1
WHERE the_geom && setSRID('BOX3D(365000 8906.25,635000
211093.75)'::BOX3D, find_srid('','not1','the_geom') )' in ...

The problem probably lies in the libpq.dll (version 1.2.2003)
used/contained in the zip file) by this Mapserver.
Looks to be too rather old.

Which version of Mapserver are you using?

This is probably because of your LDFLAGS in Makefile.vc.....

I had to change,

LDFLAGS =     /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd /DEBUG

To this,

LDFLAGS =     /NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrt /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd /DEBUG

A work around that I have used - have a second definition of the layer
with the labels defined in the highlite color & style, set status
default, and use filter and filteritem to control display.  If there
are no query parameters, nothing will be drawn for that layer.

Hi There,

  I have added an enhancemnt bug on this in mapserver (Bug 844). You
should add youself in the bug so you are aware of the development. If
you have any comments, please update the bug. I will address this before
the next release.

Message-ID: <THU.2.SEP.2004.095753.0500.BAIJINGYUHOTMAIL.COM>

Thanks your guys help again. I actually have the option you mentioned in my
makefile.vc like the following:
============
OPTFLAGS = /nologo /Zi $(WARNING_LEVEL) $(DEBUG)
BASE_CFLAGS =  $(OPTFLAGS) -DWIN32 -D_WIN32
LDFLAGS =
 /NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd /NODEFAULTLIB:libcmtd /NODE
FAULTLIB:msvcrtd /NODEFAULTLIB:LIBC

#LDFLAGS = /NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrt /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd /DEBUG
#LDFLAGS = /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd /DEBUG
=============

I now changed my namek.opt file to try the minimum compile case(just use GD
and regex/libpng/zlib)and comment out other lib options and changed the
gdal.pdb copy line in makefile.vc file but still got error though different
as the one I had yesterday. I don't know which library defines function
_strcasecmp and _strlcat. I searched GD src and redex src but find nothing
not find it in c++ standard lib string.h file neither.  Another thing I
worried about is that I used binary GD version with generated lib myself by
using bat command "makemsvcimport.bat" from gdwin32 latest version 2.0.28
which is just a DLL mapping lib file not real static library. I then change
the namke.opt line "# GD include and library" from $(GD_DIR)/gd.lib to
$(GD_DIR)/gdd.lib since the bat file generated gbd.lib not gd.lib. Is this
a problem or do I have to compile GD source by myself in order to use GD
library correctly and how if required to do so?  I appreciate your guys
help!

Hi,

Here is a section of my code that change the color of a layer :

// return the class object : 0 is the first class

$class = getClass(0);

// return the style object : 0 is the first style

$style = getStyle(0);

// change the bgcolor

$style->color->setRGB(0, 0, 0);

// change the outline color

$style->outlinecolor->setRGB(0, 0, 0);

I hope that I can help you.

Best regards,

Subject: Outline size
Message-ID: <THU.2.SEP.2004.171753.0200.GHEYSEN.TSKYNET.BE>

Hi,

I have a problem with "size" in Mapserver 4.2.2. I want to increase the
size of the outline. For this I have add "size" and "symbol" in the
style definition.

e.g.

CLASS
    NAME "test"
    TEMPLATE "query"
    STYLE
       SYMBOL 'circle'
       OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
       SIZE 2
    END
END

But when I do this the result of a query are not highlighted. If I
replace OUTLINECOLOR by COLOR the result are now highlighted.

Is it a bug ? Or I am missing something ?

Bests regards,

Thibaut.

Subject: Problem using zoomPoint() map object method in Python Mapscript
Message-ID: <THU.2.SEP.2004.093741.0600.BHUDSPETHEDAC.UNM.EDU>

Hello,
Having trouble with the map object zoomPoint() function in python
mapscript. I set up the current view extents in utm coords, a point to
zoom to in pixel units, and then call zoomPoint() function. Nothing
changes on my view. I translated this code directly from a set of
pan/zoom functions that work in PHP. The logic is exactly the same, but
I don't get any resultant changes on screen. If anyone can spot what I
might be missing, I would much appreciate some feedback. Otherwise, a
possible problem with zoomPoint() function or my usage of it?

Bill,

The zoomPoint method passes the unit tests I've written for it,
but I'm not testing the case of a zoom factor of 1.  I'm wondering
if your constraining rectangle isn't the problem.  Your constraining
rectangle (6th arg) is the same as your starting rectangle (5th arg)
and I think this should practically prevent any zooming with a
factor of 1.  Could you try again with

self.nmMap.zoomPoint(zoomFactor, zoomToPt, self.img_width,
self.img_height, prevExtent, None)

and let me know if that solves it?

Sean

hello,

i'm looking for a simple way via cgi to make mapsize perisistent. so a user
can choose a big mapsize (in the mapfile is a small one) and it?s checked
everytime he submits.

think something like this:

<input type="checkbox" NAME="mapsize" VALUE="780 450"
[mapsize_780_450_check] >780 x 450

... but it does not work.

thanks for your help

I use the javascript below. There might be a simpler/more elgant
solution, but it works.

Rich

<script language="JavaScript">
      var currMapSize = "[mapsize]";
	function MapSize (size)	{  // constructor
		this.size = size;
	}

	var mapSize = new Array();
		mapSize["Small"] = new MapSize("440 330");
		mapSize["Medium"]= new MapSize("645 485");
		mapSize["Large"] = new MapSize("900 675");

	// populate the map size option list
	function MapSize_place() {
		var s;

		for (name in mapSize) {
			s = "<OPTION value='" + mapSize[name].size + "'";
			s+= (mapSize[name].size == (currMapSize)) ? " selected" : "";
			s+=  ">" + name + "</OPTION>";
			document.write(s);
		}
	}

	MapSize.place = MapSize_place; // make above function a property of
the constructor
</script>

And then in the <BODY> the following:
       <SELECT name="map_size" onChange="reSize(this[selectedIndex].value);">
          <script language="JavaScript">
             MapSize.place();
          </script>
        </SELECT>

Hello...
 
I need to access PostGIS with JavaMapScript. 
Do I need to do something especial? Do I need a JDBC driver?
 
I tried it:
 
.....
.....
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
 try{
         System.loadLibrary("mapscript");
 } catch(Exception e){ 
        e.printStackTrace();
 }
  mapObj mapa;
  mapa = new mapObj("wms.map");
  imageObj imagem = mapa.draw();
  imagem.save("/l/home0/pat/testePati.jpg");
}
.....
.....
 
But mapa.draw() returns null.
 
My mapfile (wms.map) seems to be Ok, because I get map via cgi-bin with no problems. 
 
Can somebody help me?
 
Thanks in advance...

I am confused about clicking on a map.

Should this click function reside in first php file or second php file ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
function click2map ($click_x, $click_y, $current_extent) {
    global $map;

    $x_pct = ($click_x / $_GET['map-width']);
    $y_pct = 1 - ($click_y / $_GET['mapheight']);

    $x_map = $current_extent[0] + ( ($current_extent[2] -
$current_extent[0]) * $x_pct);
    $y_map = $current_extent[1] + ( ($current_extent[3] -
$current_extent[1]) * $y_pct);

    return array($x_map, $y_map);
}

Hi all!

 

I just tried to compile Mapserver 4.2.2 for FastCGI without success.  I have
installed mod_fcgi and FastCGI lib according to the Mapserver Wiki article.
Is the development of mapserver_fcgi has stopped?  Can I expect real
improvements with mapserver_fcgi and PostGIS layers?

 

Thanks!

There is a documented fault in MapScript that prevents it from working
properly when PHP is loaded as an Apache module.  Until the MapScript
project fixes it, we are stuck.  Anyone have any idea what kind of
progress is being made in this area?

I compared with makefile from orignal source and it seems they are almost

I now need a regex.obj with debug info (compiled with with /MTd option

Hi:

A lot of things have changed with GD.... I now compile GD using my own VC6 workspace. Let me know if you would need a workspace for GD..

But alternatively per Brent's comments you could use the bgd.lib that comes compiled too. It simply works!!! :)

The regex.obj is on it's way to your yahoo id!

Skweda,

Work on the FastCGI support was a prototype investigation.  It is not currently
supported or being worked on. I hope to be able to return to it some day and
make a more comprehensive implementation that does not involve duplicating
all of mapserv.c but it will be a substantial effort.

In the meantime, you can likely "hand integrate" some of the changes from
the newer mapserv.c into mapserv_fcgi.c or try applying fast cgi support to
mapserv.c yourself - though this might not be a job for the faint of heart.

Best regards,

Try using this definition for projection in your
mapfile projections statements. I use it and it works
fine:
PROJECTION
 "proj=eqc"
 "ellps=WGS84"
 "lon_0=0"
 "lat_ts=0"
 "no_defs"
END
Look at the Proj4 documentation for an explanation.

Subject: Geocoding from shape files
Message-ID: <FRI.3.SEP.2004.110245.0700.ANDY_CANFIELDHOTMAIL.COM>

To all interested,

A while back I posted asking if anyone was interested in a php interface to
geocode from shapefiles. I got a few responses so here is the link to the
source.

You use it at your own risk.

For each call to a geocode function it returns a string of space delimited
points for every match it finds IE "X Y X2 Y2 X3 Y3.......Xn Yn" where each
point is a matching street level address. So if you have one match for the
address you get "X Y". The included php examples show calling it in a loop
for multiple addresses. What you do with the returned points string is up to
you.

It includes examples of using it from php although since it's a library you
could use it from any executable or another library.

The source for both projects is there along with examples and some sample
data including addresses that fall along the sample data.

It was written for Windows  and has some very specific Windows API calls in
it so it will not directly port. The calls are modularized however so
replacing those functions with their Unix or Linux counterpart should be
easy. I don't have a test environment for either so I can not do a port on
my end. I have only tested this with Windows 2000 and 2003 server running
IIS.

Using the multiple address interface I can geocode about 7 addresses a
second from a street base of 300,000+ street segements. Your milage with it
may vary. If you have questions you can reply to my e-mail address
andy_canfield at hotmail.com I will try and answer what I can.

Feedback would be appreciated especially if there is a broken link or my
bandwidth limit runs out.

Link to the page ( again you use this at your own risk it is not a mature
project ):

Thanks,

Ok I figured out my problem now I have another.
 
The reason I can get setLayersDrawingOrder to work appears to be because
I don't have a SWIG typemap setup. So what do I need to do? I can't find

The problem is : $shape->values is an empy array (because $layer is not
a ShapeFile)
how can i get the values associated with the geom ?

Ethan,

If you are ready to tackle typemaps, check in with me on #mapserver.
I'll help you translate what I've done for Python into Perl.  Look
at mapscript/python/pyextend.i for starters.  I've bypassed the
typemaps and am programming with the Python C API.

cheers,
Sean

Message-ID: <SAT.4.SEP.2004.114803.0700.NEWLANDVT.EDU>

Dear all,
I noticed that the layer MAX FEATURES option in the mapfile does not work
for postgis layers.  I managed to fix this by editing the mappostgis.c file
as shown below.  My question is: am I doing this the right way or am missing
something?

Thanks.

    result = PQexec(layerinfo->conn, "BEGIN");
    if (!(result) || PQresultStatus(result) != PGRES_COMMAND_OK)

                PQclear(result);
                layerinfo->query_result = NULL;
                return(MS_FAILURE);             // totally screwed
    }


    PQclear(result);
        //set enable_seqscan=off not required (already done)

        if (layer->maxfeatures>0)
                        sprintf(query_string_0_6,"%s limit %li",
query_string_0_6,layer->maxfeatures);
//--END OF MY FIX
        if (layer->debug)
                msDebug("query_string_0_6:%s\n",query_string_0_6);
    result = PQexec(layerinfo->conn, query_string_0_6 );

    if ( (result!=NULL) && (PQresultStatus(result) == PGRES_COMMAND_OK) )
    {

                *sql_results = result;

I finally made it work (almost).

I have now some problem with reprojection.
I want to reproject to epsg:26910 but my linemap and reprojected USGS does not match.
If I reproject the linemap to 4326 it nicely overlays the 4326 default projection of the USGS ortho layer, but reprojecting both to 26910 does not work. I have the two layers in 2 different map file but it should not matter (when overlaying the graphics with photo sw)

Is there any special thing to know re: reprojecting raster layers?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I want to display some rasters layers :
       first one is 1/250000, 250 dpi
       second one is 1/25000, 250 dpi

Here is an extract of my map file :

        PROJECTION
          "init=esri:27582"

      TILEITEM "LOCATION"
      TYPE RASTER
      STATUS ON
      OFFSITE 0 0 0
      MINSCALE 25000
      MAXSCALE 250000
      GROUP "carto"
      CLASS
        NAME "Fond raster 250000"
      END
    END

    LAYER
      NAME "25000"

      TILEITEM "LOCATION"
      TYPE RASTER

      GROUP "carto"
      CLASS
        NAME "Fond raster 25000"
      END
    END

This two layer switch well looking for mapserver scale.
The question i want to ask is why when i open a 1/250000 raster with
GIMP and set the scale to 100%,
it doesn't seem to correspond with what i see in mapserver at scale 250000.

In other words, if mapserver scale is 250000, does it means that the
view is at 1/250000 sacle???

I hope my question is understandable
Thanks

Hi,

I have a problem with colors in maps rendererd by Mapserver when using
png as the outputformat.  I have two layers: a raster layer with
black&white ortho imagery and a shape showing buildings in different
colors.  The layers a look as expected when rendered
individually.  See:

 * http://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/~malsburg/temp/mapserv03.png
 * http://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/~malsburg/temp/mapserv01.png

But if I switch them both on, it looks like

 * http://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/~malsburg/temp/mapserv02.png

Everything is black&white.  The problem does only appear with
outputformat set to png.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Because TIFF support is in libtiff _and_ gdal?

I did recompile mapserv with --without-tiff yielding

MapServer version 4.0.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=OGR

But the problem continues to exist :-(

This is a know problem see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=306
I posted a work-a-round that worked for me, you might get it to work for
you. There is also a PROCESSING directive that allows you to combine
colors that are within "n" color cells of one another into a single
color. this works well with tiffs and potentially level other color
slots open for you other layers.

It might have something to do with the number of colors you use, with
pc256, you can only have 256 separate colors.

If you have "IMAGEMODE pc256", try and see if setting it to "rgb" helps.
  The filesize of your images will be larger, but you have more possible
colors.

i.e.

IMAGETYPE png24bit
OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME png24bit
   DRIVER "GD/PNG"
   MIMETYPE "image/png"
   IMAGEMODE rgb
END

If this doesn't help, you could try to reduce the number of colors in
your map, for instance by not using antialiased fonts, but since your
image (without labels) already contains 243 colors, I doubt you can gain
much here.

St?phane -

A scale ratio like "1/25000" only makes sense if you know the exact resolution of the output device (screen or printer) in pixels per inch.  Otherwise I can just adjust the image size on my monitor and the scale ratio won't be correct!

I suspect that you are simply seeing a difference between the output resolution MapServer uses by default (72 DPI) and the output resolution GIMP is using.  MapServer's default isn't a good guess for most monitors these days, which most users seem to run at 90 - 110 DPI.  You can use the RESOLUTION statement in your MAP file to adjust the default.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] mapserver rasters scale

Hi all,

I want to display some rasters layers :
       first one is 1/250000, 250 dpi
       second one is 1/25000, 250 dpi

Here is an extract of my map file :
    MAP
       UNITS METERS

       IMAGETYPE PNG

        PROJECTION
          "init=esri:27582"
        END

    LAYER
      NAME "250000"
      TILEINDEX "../data/250000"
      TILEITEM "LOCATION"
      TYPE RASTER
      STATUS ON
      OFFSITE 0 0 0
      MINSCALE 25000
      MAXSCALE 250000
      GROUP "carto"
      CLASS
        NAME "Fond raster 250000"
      END
    END

    LAYER
      NAME "25000"
      TILEINDEX "../data/25000"
      TILEITEM "LOCATION"
      TYPE RASTER
      STATUS ON

      GROUP "carto"
      CLASS
        NAME "Fond raster 25000"
      END
    END

This two layer switch well looking for mapserver scale.
The question i want to ask is why when i open a 1/250000 raster with GIMP and set the scale to 100%, it doesn't seem to correspond with what i see in mapserver at scale 250000.

In other words, if mapserver scale is 250000, does it means that the view is at 1/250000 sacle???

I hope my question is understandable
Thanks

Titus -

As the others have suggested, this is a matter of running out of colors.
Your photo layer is not "black and white" (two colors), but grayscale,
and probably has 256 different shades of gray.  MapServer processes
layers one at a time, allocating available colors as needed.  If you
draw the first layer in your map using 256 different shades of gray,
MapServer will create a palette with 256 gray shades in it, so that
first layer is drawn accurately.  If you then try to draw another layer,
there are no new colors left and MapServer will use the shade of gray
that's closest to each color (which won't be very close, of course).

You don't say what outputformat DOES work, but I suspect that you're
using JPEG, which is a 24-bit output format and therefore doesn't have
this problem.  It's a limitation of the color depth, not the format
itself.

If you reverse the order of those two layers so the color layer is drawn
first, you'll see you get a different result.

As Steve suggests, you can use the PROCESSING= option (from GDAL) to
have GDAL use a near match rather than exact match when drawing the
grayscale layer.  This will use fewer colors, and will leave some left
over for your other layer.  You can also create an OUTPUTFORMAT block to
define your PNG output to be a 24-bit PNG rather than 8-bit PNG, and
that will fix the problem, too.

Hi,

I have a problem with colors in maps rendererd by Mapserver when using
png as the outputformat.  I have two layers: a raster layer with
black&white ortho imagery and a shape showing buildings in different
colors.  The layers a look as expected when rendered individually.  See:

 * http://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de/~malsburg/temp/mapserv03.png

But if I switch them both on, it looks like

Everything is black&white.  The problem does only appear with
outputformat set to png.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Maybe this is what you're looking for?

// get the layer name
$layer = $map->getlayerbyname(your layer name here);

// turn the map on/off
$layer->set("status", 1); # on
$layer->set("status", 0); # off

Hope that helps.

Ahmet,

I think this is what you want:

$layer = $map->getLayerByName('roads');

if (something) {
        $layer->set('status', 0); //turns layer off
} else {
        $layer->set('status', 1); //turns layer on
}

Hi,

looks like the ortho images consume the whole palette, you could try to reduce this effect by using the processing parameter on the ortho-layer.

LAYER
   NAME "ortho"
   TYPE RASTER
   PROCESSING 'COLOR_MATCH_THRESHOLD=3'
   [...]

Start with a setting of 3 and increase this value until it fits your needs.

Can someone please post a working mapfile with some WMS layers which I could
use to test my Mapserver installation. Any hints in addition to the official
documentation would be great. I tried to set up a WMS client layer by
following the docs but I get no results. I just get my shape file displayed
and no WMS layer, also there aren't any error messages.

Thanks

Hi Goran,

If you just want to see a snippit, then look at the end/comments section of my
recent weblog.  The weblog might be a good place to start, actually, since I
talk about what I did to add a layer to my site:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/5542

You can see lots of examples on my global map site:
http://spatialguru.com/maps/apps/global/
The map file is at:
http://spatialguru.com/maps/apps/global/global.map

Search the archives for a thread titled "Terraserver question" it was only a
few days ago that it was posted. In it Dylan posted a working example of a
wms layer that uses Terraserver. I used his example and it works great for
me. I had to alter it a bit to fit my mapsize and extents but that will give
you a working example.

I'm reading this list since a few weeks now and I observed, that
communication is sometimes suboptimal.  Many people ask for help very
politely but fail to describe their setup and problem in a sufficiently
detailed manner, therefore getting sometimes poor or no results.

There is a very nice howto document by Eric Raymond titled "How To Ask
Questions The Smart Way" that describes how one should act to get
optimal results from mailing lists and similar media.  I read it once
and it helped me very much, so I recommend it here.

Maybe Eric Raymond is all-to rigorous at some points, but nevertheless
the document gives you an idea of how you could improve your
communication.

Cheers,
        Titus

Yew,

Would you consider contributing your C# makefile to the MapServer
project?
If yes, open a new enhancement issue in the bugzilla tracker under
mapscript-swig, and attach the files.  I'll get them into CVS and we can
work together to keep them up date and in synch with the next revisions
of MapServer.

cheers,
Sean

Ahmet,

First, make sure you have defined a SCALEBAR block in your mapfile (or
via mapscript).

// create scalebar
$scale_img = $map->drawScaleBar();
$scale_url = $scale_img->saveWebImage();

Then call it in your HTML:

<img src="<?php echo $scale_url?>">

hello everyone,

I am working with the version 4.0.1 for windows.
I have been in trouble working with a TIFF color image as background of
my mapservr.
If I display the map in 1:1 scale there is no problem at all but when I
try to ZOOM the map (which contains a color TIFF background) image the
next error message appears.

"drawTIFF(): Image handling error. Only colormapped and grayscale images
are supported"

Does anyone of you know if this problem can be solved.

Thanks a lot

The $map->addColor(r,g,b) method seems to be missing in MapScript 4 although its there in Version 3.
Has this method been superceded - if so, how do I set colors?

Joel;

You can:

shapeObj = new shapeObj(type_point)

use the shapeindex from resultCacheMemberObj with
layer->getShape(shapeObj, 0, shapeindex)

pointObj=shapeObj->get(0)

pointObj->{x} & pointObj->{y}

The doc (at least swigmapscript) needs to be clearer on this.

Thanks for the reply.

I actually got it working another way.  I pulled the lat/long vars from
the DBF and displayed them that way, after I found a snippet in the
old mailing list archives.  But I think I'll try it this way, too, as it
seems more elegant.

Thanks again for the help.

The method has changed in 4.x - colors are now assigned using the style
object.  See this wiki page for an example:

My bad.
To access the pointObj you will need to go through the shapefileObj.
I'll send an example shortly.

Here's a correct example.

$data = $layer->{data};
$shapefile = new mapscript::shapefileObj($data,-1);
$point = new mapscript::pointObj();
$shapefile->getPoint(shapeindex,$point);
$x = $point->{x};

I want the outline of a polygon (esri world base country layer) to be
dashed, but couldn't find anything about how to achieve this.  No
documentation, no mapfile snippets.  Is it possible at all to have
dashed outlines?

A hack, that seems to work is
 * duplicate the layer in the mapfile
 * say TYPE POLYGON to the one
 * and TYPE LINE to the other
 * the first defines the filling
 * the latter the outline

Yes,
It is possible. You have to define a new symbol into .symbols file for a
dashed line.
Then you have to define 2 styles for that class:
- The first one will have the colour for the filling or the symbol for
the interior or the polygon.
- The second style defines the line (symbol, size, colour).
I found out that if I put everything in one style, the symbol and size
are applied to the interior, not to the line. But it works with 2
separate styles.

Titus,

Define this symbol in your symbols.sym file:

SYMBOL
  NAME 'dashed'
  TYPE ELLIPSE
  POINTS 1 1 END
  FILLED true
  STYLE 10 5 5 END
END

Your layer definition should look something like:

LAYER
   NAME  basemap
   STATUS default
   TYPE polygon
   DATA score
   CLASS
      STYLE
         OUTLINECOLOR 153 153 153
         COLOR 204 204 153
         SYMBOL 'dashed'
      END  #end of style
   END  #end of class
END  #end of layer

I don't believe that this answers your central question, but you may want to take a look at your PROJECTION block.  

        PROJECTION
          "init=esri:27582"
        END

should probably read

        PROJECTION
          "init=epsg:27582"
        END

This may not be causing any problems right now, but if you add projection blocks to your layers, I am guessing that you will see an error.

For your primary question, I am guessing that Ed will jump right in.  My guess is that MapServer assumes a screen dpi that is not 250.  I believe that it is 72, but I am not sure.  You will probably have to convert your scale values to work with the default MapServer dpi.  

Play with the MINSCALE and MAXSCALE values in your Map file to see where the images swap.  

David.

Hi all,

I want to display some rasters layers :
       first one is 1/250000, 250 dpi
       second one is 1/25000, 250 dpi

Here is an extract of my map file :
    MAP
       UNITS METERS

       IMAGETYPE PNG

        PROJECTION
          "init=esri:27582"
        END

    LAYER
      NAME "250000"
      TILEINDEX "../data/250000"
      TILEITEM "LOCATION"
      TYPE RASTER
      STATUS ON
      OFFSITE 0 0 0
      MINSCALE 25000
      MAXSCALE 250000
      GROUP "carto"
      CLASS
        NAME "Fond raster 250000"
      END
    END

    LAYER
      NAME "25000"
      TILEINDEX "../data/25000"
      TILEITEM "LOCATION"
      TYPE RASTER
      STATUS ON
      OFFSITE 0 0 0
      MAXSCALE 25000
      GROUP "carto"
      CLASS
        NAME "Fond raster 25000"
      END
    END

This two layer switch well looking for mapserver scale.
The question i want to ask is why when i open a 1/250000 raster with
GIMP and set the scale to 100%,
it doesn't seem to correspond with what i see in mapserver at scale 250000.

In other words, if mapserver scale is 250000, does it means that the
view is at 1/250000 sacle???

I hope my question is understandable
Thanks

Monica,

it worked.  Thank you!  But how did you figure it out?

Mapservers documentation is everything else than complete.  But the
worse problem is that the mapfile format isn't logical at all (at least
I don't catch the logic).  Maybe I should start to read the source code,
which seems to be the only authoritative and exhaustive source of
information. :-/

Thanks again,
        Titus

Good morning,

I am working on a project with MapServer and Oracle Spatial. Both are running under windows environments and I have noticed some odd behavior.

Some of the data that I have loaded into Oracle Spatial layers does not get rendered by MapServer. I have run the Oracle test on the layers and they came back good and I am able to view the layers with the Oracle MapViewer but they are not showing up with MapServer. I am not getting an error back from MapServer and I have looked for the MapServer log but I cannot find them.

Question: Where are the MapServer logs in a Windows/Apache install?

Another thing that I find interesting is that some of the layers stop rendering at a certain scale. For example I have a layer that contains the cities of British Columbia (from one of the Oracle layers that is working).  It has a Maximum scale of 1:5,000,000 yet at some point while zooming in the labels disappear and don't come back again until I zoom out. Is this normal?


Thanks for your help

Monica,

You are right.  I had grabbed my example from a Map file where I failed
at getting the result that Titus was looking for, but ended up liking
the result and keeping the definition.  I will add an example of the
'two styles' method to the Wiki.

Hi Eric,
   I belive that I can help you, your problem can be with the type of your data
(SDO_GTYPE). THe Oracle Spatial driver for mapserver can't draw data if you
stored using 3D definition. You can check this when you execute one simple query
in sqlplus, if return something like 300x try to redefine this value to 200x.
   Only one question, how you import the data in Oracle, are you use the sqlldr?
If yes, after you import the data do you execute the function "EXECUTE
SDO_MIGRATE.TO_CURRENT('TABLE','GEOMETRY_COLUMN');" ? Are you create the spatial
index?
   When you execute your mapserver using only the cgi definition using only the
layer with oracle spatial connection what's happen? Ex:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=yourmap.map&mode=map&imgsize=400+400&layers=oraclelayer
   You can see one example in this site:
http://g10novo.cttmar.univali.br/gtz/principal.php Everthing, polygons, lines
and points in this example are stored in Oracle Spatial.
   With the label I didn't see anything about this problem when you use Oracle
Spatial, are you define labelmaxscale in your layer? I saw something like as
when I used projection definition, the points disappear with wrong projection.
   I don't know if I help you.
   If you need some help, you can report me.

I have set up mapserver using the MS4W DMSolutions Group Mapserver package
and I am currently trying to install the ming-0.2a library which offers

Where should this library be installed? It consists of several folders and

Any help would be appreciated. In addition any help using flash with
mapserver would also be very helpful.

Message-ID: <WED.8.SEP.2004.071833.0700.JASON.T.BEJOTNWD02.USACE.ARMY.MIL>

I have the cgi-bin mapserver with oracle support thats available on the
mapserver website.  It seems to be installed correctly when i do a
mapserv.exe -v ... however when i try to ask for a swf file in a web
browser, all it gives me is this line of text:

Content-type: text/html msBuildPath: Unable to access file.

What does this mean?  I've been trying to figure it out for days but nothing
is working.  I need to get this working to finish my flash application.
Please help!

This is my test map file, it should work.

Subject: Dashed Outline
Message-ID: <WED.8.SEP.2004.093948.0500.DAVID.FAWCETTSTATE.MN.US>

As promised, I added a working example to the Wiki

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SymbolExamples

Scroll down to the 'Creative Solutions' section.

For documentation in the archives, here is a working example.  Note
that the STYLE object was added in version 4.0, so this example won't
work with pre-4.0 versions of MapServer.

The effect is achieved by adding two styles to the class, one for the
colored fill and the other for the dashed outline.


LAYER
    NAME county
    TYPE polygon
    STATUS default
    DATA cntypy
    CLASS
        STYLE    #this style defines polygon fill color
            COLOR 225 225 185
        END
        STYLE     #this style defines the outline of the polygon
            OUTLINECOLOR 128 128 128
            SYMBOL 'dashed'
        END
    END
END

This example requires that:

    1. You have a symbol definition in your symbol.sym file that is
named 'dashed' and looks like this

    SYMBOL
        NAME 'dashed'
        TYPE ELLIPSE
        POINTS 1 1 END
        FILLED true
        STYLE 10 5 5 10 END
    END

    2. You have line in your MAP file stating the correct path to your
symbols file (e.g. SYMBOLSET symbols/symbol.sym)

Yes,
It is possible. You have to define a new symbol into .symbols file for
a
dashed line.
Then you have to define 2 styles for that class:
- The first one will have the colour for the filling or the symbol for
the interior or the polygon.
- The second style defines the line (symbol, size, colour).
I found out that if I put everything in one style, the symbol and size
are applied to the interior, not to the line. But it works with 2
separate styles.

I want the outline of a polygon (esri world base country layer) to be
dashed, but couldn't find anything about how to achieve this.  No
documentation, no mapfile snippets.  Is it possible at all to have
dashed outlines?

A hack, that seems to work is
 * duplicate the layer in the mapfile
 * say TYPE POLYGON to the one
 * and TYPE LINE to the other
 * the first defines the filling
 * the latter the outline

Alberto,

Don't forget that you have to install PHP as CGI and not as a module for
Apache in order to use PHPMapscript.  I did not used the document you
mentioned to install PHP on my server.  Instead, I recommend you the
installation instructions from Mapserver Wiki which are very straight
forward and works very well
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RedHat9AndMapserver40b).
These instructions are for Linux, but the essence is there:

# download and install php
#

sudo cp sapi/cgi/php /var/www/cgi-bin/php433    ##Copy php to your
cgi-bin/php433##


# edit your php.ini:
# add this information:
# extension_dir = "your_php_extensions_directory"

## Don't forget to copy your php_mapscript.dll to you PHP extensions
directory

# add to httpd.conf


# For PHP scripts as CGI-BIN
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php-cgi .php .php4 .phtml
Action  application/x-httpd-php-cgi /cgi-bin/php433

#Now create your php test file and check the output

Since I never tried it before on Windows, I cannot certify you the good
behavior of your server...  Maybe someone else can provide more
information...  

Please keep in touch...

I've read this document about the installation

Do you have any suggestion

Subject: problem with trying to get Item Query to work.
Message-ID: <WED.8.SEP.2004.095507.0500.BOB.BASQUESCI.STPAUL.MN.US>

All,

I can't seem to get Itemquery to work.

I'm trying to zoom to a polygon shape with a CGI call.

Help please.

Just trying to zoom to a "Minnesota" polygon from a US map based on an
attribute (with no template, all in the Map file. From what I've read
this should be possible). Am I mistaken  I've tried all kinds of
permutations.   A sample of the required components would help out I think.

The problem request:

    map=global/view.map&layers=usstates_poly_utm+mncounty_poly_utm&qlayer=usstates_poly_utm&qitem=FIRST_NAME&qstring=Minnesota&mode=itemquery&mapext=shapes


The error:

    *msQueryByAttributes(): Query error. Requested layer has no
    templates defined. *

Sending a MAPEXT produces a map just fine.

    map=global/view.map&layers=usstates_poly_utm+mncounty_poly_utm&mode=map&mapext=-10019.0100+4767655.4506+874956.3291+5489960.3900


------------------------


The MapFile (partial):

 QUERYMAP
   STATUS ON
   STYLE SELECTED
 END

 LAYER
   NAME 'usstates_poly_utm'
   DATA '/var/www/map_data/usstates_poly_utm'

   STATUS OFF # must explicitly turn this layer on
   CLASS

Thanks for the info Fernando.

You hit the nail on the head with that one, the layers that are not showing up in my map are the 300x ones. 

I used the Oracle shp2sdo tool to create the SQL and CTL files before running the sqlldr tool to load the layers. I then ran EXECUTE
SDO_MIGRATE.TO_CURRENT('TABLE','GEOMETRY_COLUMN'); on all the layers and then created indexes for each layer. 

I am unable to manualy update the layer as Oracle complains that the "Layer Dimensionality does not match geometry dimensions" it makes sense that it won't let me do this. 

I will have re-load the data from the shape files and drop the third dimension.
Do you or (anyone else) know if using the OGR tool ogr2ogr will load the layer in a format that is sutable for MapServer? (i.e. drop the z coordinate) If not I will have to write my own Oracle loader.

Thanks again.

Subject: getting extents for displaying individual states
Message-ID: <WED.8.SEP.2004.151549.0400.JOELFGNETCONSULTING.COM>

Hello list:

I'm attempting to do the same thing, but keep hitting a hurdle,
and have yet to find a solution in the archives.  Here's my code:

// get our state layer
  $stLayer = $gmfMap->getLayer(1);
  $stLayer->set("status", MS_ON);

  // query the passed state
  $qryLayer = $stLayer->queryByAttributes("STATE", $_GET["state"],
MS_MULTIPLE);

  // find out how many results we found
  $shpCount = $stLayer->GetNumResults();

  // open the layer
  $stLayer->open();

  // find out how many results we found
  for ($i = 0; $i < $shpCount; $i++) {
   // get the results we need from the layer
   $result = $stLayer->getResult($i);

   // get our shape info from the index
   $shpData = $stLayer->getShape($result->tileindex, $result->shapeindex);

      print_r($result);
      // ... (do something with the result)
  }

When I get to the getShape() function, I get an error saying "Invalid
feature id."
I know it has to be something simple.  I, too, am trying to get the extents
for
a passed state to "zoom" into it.  Layer #1 is my states layer.

I'm using PHP/MapScript (4.x+ versions).

TIA!

Joel

The permissions were wrong on the server for the tmp folder . . . .  I'm
getting closer though.

Now I'm down to:

Hi There,

  I am not sure right now where the message comes from, but  by quickly
checking your map file, It seems that some critical elemnts are missing
(for eg there are no DATA nor CLASS elements associated with your
layer). Things that might help you :


    - make sure that all the paths that you have specified in the map
file are valid. (You can use if you want absolute path to make sure of that)
     - try filling up missing infos like data and class in your layer

     - try outputing your data using any gd output (like png for
example) (Just need to define "imagetype png" in your file)

     - If you have a valid png, you can then switch back to swf output.

Hope it help,

Hi Pierre,

Using PHP, it's quiet easy. You can simply create a new layer with only
your selection. I have'nt code in PHP (we work with perl-mapscript for
the moment).
I can add that it's easyer with a postgis database. You define a classic
layer to display all objects. And then you define a layer for selection
with a transparency. SQL expressions are very simple to produce.

regards,

Lionel

Hi All!

I have a problem with running MapServer perfectly.
It seems to be working, but if I try to test the example below I get error message: 500 - internal server error.

All the settings seems to be fine. If I change the status from default to on, it is working but I can see only a gray rectangle. Not the contents of the shapefile, althoug the extents has to be right, because that is the original example!. :(
I found a bug report (http://www.maptools.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=620
) about extracting shapfiles, do you think that causes my problem also? If it is, then how should I fix it?

Thx:

Hi,

the bug report is a Chameleon bug report. Are you using Chameleon?

Can you run ogrinfo on your shapefile? Maybe it is a 3D shapefile which
Mapserver might crash on. Which Mapserver version are you using?

Is your shapefile in lat/lon (WGS84)? Check the extent of your map file
with the extent of your shapefile (can also be done using ogrinfo). First
start simple without PROJECTION definitions.

Best regards,
Bart

Hi list,
when I use "mode=itemnquery" (or "mode=itemquery") and I put a regular
expression as search string (for example, "qstring=(W|w)ashington") I get
this error:

msQueryByAttributes(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s)
found.
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
...
...

A "normal" search string (e.g., "qstring=Washington") works well: record
is found, and query result is shown.

I use MapServer as CGI.

This is 'mapserv -v' output:

MapServer version 4.0.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

What's wrong?

 Daniele


P.S.: why can't I send messages through my e-mail client? I have to use
the web interface...

Message-ID: <THU.9.SEP.2004.121143.0200.STEPHANE.RIFFCERENE.FR>

Hi,

I have a question about scalebar calculation.
I wrote a map application which is in latlong projection (wgs84)
and mapserver is able to calculate a scale in KM unit, so i would like
to know
how mapserver can do this ???
Does he reproject some points ?
Does the result completly wrong ?

Here is a part of the mapfile :

MAP
    NAME CRN
    STATUS ON
    EXTENT -8.520387 21.998300 12.396365 38.845093

    IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
    UNITS DD
    IMAGETYPE PNG
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4326"
    END

    SCALEBAR
        IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
        LABEL
          COLOR 0 0 255
          SIZE tiny
        END
    STYLE 1
    SIZE 200 2
    COLOR 0 0 255
    UNITS KILOMETERS
    INTERVALS 4
    TRANSPARENT FALSE
    STATUS EMBED
    POSITION LR
    END
END

Maybe i'm completly wrong and this sort of thing isn't realizable but i
want
to know what do you think about that.

Thanks

Hi Daniele

Perhaps you should try: "qstring=[Ww]ashington"

Hi,

Try
 qstring=/\[Ww\]ashington/
it will find if washington is part of the attribute, if you want
exact match try
 qstring=/^\[Ww]ashington$/

Message-ID: <THU.9.SEP.2004.075511.0400.EDTOPOZONE.COM>

St?phane -

The scale units of any map depend entirely on the projection you use.  It is not possible to create a scale bar in kilometers for a map in latlong projection, because the scale of that map is not consistent in km - that is, a line one km long is a different length depending on where you are on that map.

I feel pretty strongly that the "latlong" projection is overused because it is "simple".  Different map projections have different properties, and if you want to be able to measure distances you should choose one of the projections that allows you do to that accurately.  You simply cannot do it with latlong projection.

Hi,

I have a question about scalebar calculation.
I wrote a map application which is in latlong projection (wgs84) and mapserver is able to calculate a scale in KM unit, so i would like to know how mapserver can do this ???
Does he reproject some points ?
Does the result completly wrong ?

Here is a part of the mapfile :

MAP
    NAME CRN
    STATUS ON
    EXTENT -8.520387 21.998300 12.396365 38.845093

    SCALEBAR

Maybe i'm completly wrong and this sort of thing isn't realizable but i want to know what do you think about that.

Then you have to set first a layer for the polygonal an after it a point
layer for the river. Are you shure is a point layer?
You may need to iterate over the points and generate line objects, since
a point layer will only show the points that I assume are river turns.

Pierre,

You can keep your selection active while using mapscript as CGI, but it's a
little bit tricky.  What you have to do is to make your selection with a
query or nquery mode, catch the unique ids of elements selected which
Mapserver will return and insert these values into an URL with itemnquerymap
or itemquerymap mode, or simply create a new layer and use a filter...
Personally, I use Java and Mapscript CGI to do this and it works like a
charm!

Hope this can help...

Marta,

I am copying the mapserver-users mailing list with this message as
there may be others who can help you.

Without more details, it's hard to guess where it may be failing. 

1. Get everything working with straight CGI, then run exactly the same
query string thru ASPExec.

2. Try it at the command line rather than thru ASPExec. This may show
error messages.

3. Try a different version of mapserv.exe - it seem to remember some
discussion on the list suggesting that maybe the QUERY_STRING= syntax
was broken breifly in a 4.x version.

4. I have attached a simple .asp file which may server as an example.

5. There is also an asp "forwarding" mechanism described at: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk30/htm/xmobjxmldomserverxmlhttp_using_directly.asp
and 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/wms-server-howto.html#onlineresourceurl
that might be useful, and easier, depending on what you are trying to do. 

Regards,
Rich

Saw this being discussed in relation to IIS and MS SQL Server but did not see a final answer on this and my set up is a little different. I have mapserver running on a MS Windows 2000 Server with Apache II and with PostgreSQL 8.0 Beta1. I have a map where I'm trying to pull data from a Postgres database. Since I only need a few columns and will eventually be using a JOIN I need to include the actual SQL statement in the .ovf file. And on top of that since I will be passing a variable from the template that map will be in I need to make the ovf file as part of the map file. So far no problems, I've done this before and everything works perfectly and I had high hopes for this map. However when the map layer will not display. I can see they symbol showing up in the legend but nothing will show in the map. When I put the statement from the map layer in a ovf file and run ogrinfo the file is found and read but I get the following error:

ERROR 1: SetAttributeFilter() not supported on ExecuteSQL() results.

This occurs in Postgres and also in MySQL. However when I replace the <SrcSQL>  statement with a <SrcLayer> point to the table everything works fine. I have changed nothing in the setup another map using the same setup (including the ovf being in the map file) works fine and the table it is pulling from is in the same database as the one that is giving me fits. And yes I created a new databasse and redid the ODBC and it is a System ODBC.

Any suggestions?

Subject: Transform from epsg:26912 to esri:102758 issue...
Message-ID: <THU.9.SEP.2004.090916.0600.JNIELSENAEROGRAPHICS.COM>

This is more of a proj/gdal question but I cant seem to get through to the gdal
mailing list so I thought perhaps someone on here might be able to lend a hand.
I apologize if this is too off topic.

I have data in epsg:26912 and the client wants it transformed to esri:102758.

The destination system is "NAD-1983_Stateplane_Wyoming_West_FIPS_4904_Feet"
according to ArcGIS.

If I try to do a direct transformation the following occures:

[root at mapserver s]# gdalwarp -s_srs epsg:26912 -t_srs esri:102758
south_lincoln.tif south_lincolnx.tif
ERROR 1: Translating source or target SRS failed:
esri:102758

So instead I have specified the parameters as follows:

gdalwarp -s_srs epsg:26912 -t_srs "+proj=tmerc +lat_0=40.5
+lon_0=-110.0833333333333 +k=0.999938 +x_0=799999.9999999999 +y_0=100000
+ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +to_meter=0.3048006096012192" south_lincoln.tif
south_lincolnx.tif

Now this translates but I then have another issue. gdalinfo reports the
following which looks all good accept one thing thats bugging me.  Note the
false_easting and false_northing. The client gave me a print out of the
projection defines which included those two values. I have also confirmed the
clients printout in both ArcGIS and AutoCAD 2002. The false origin listed by the
client is as follows:

false_easting: 2624666.666667
false_northing: 328083.333333

Note that these are a factor of 3.2808 of those created during the gdal
transformation below.

So the question is. Who's is correct? And if my output is wrong what am I doing
incorrectly or are the defines in the esri proj file incorrect? Or am I bugging
out over nothing?

Thanks,
Jason.

Looks like it is just a matter of defining the false northing &
easting in feet versus meters. I think GDAL likes the  false northing
& easting in meters even from projections that are in feet. So nothing
looks out of order to me. But watch out for the US Survey Foot versus
the International Foot. ArcView didn't used to be to at
differentiating the two. Wyoming uses the US Survey Foot and the
correct value is +to_meter=0.3048006096012192

Checkout SAVEQUERY and QUERYFILE in the CGI reference. This allows you
to save a selection and eliminates the overhead of running the query
each time the map needs to be redrawn. And it does not require any
scripting!

Bill,

Here's an excerpt from a new HOWTO document I am writing.  It's
formatted as Structured Text (for Zope) and uses examples in a
mapscript pseudo-code.  Nothing specific about the query methods
yet, for that check out the reference in
mapserver/mapscript/doc/mapscript.txt of your mapserver source.

cheers,
Sean

--------

Querying

   Map layers can be queried to select features using spatial query
methods:
'layerObj::queryByPoint', 'layerObj::queryByRect', and
'layerObj::queryByShape', or the attribute query method
'layerObj::queryByAttributes'.

One of MapServer's most annoying quirks is that a layer's 'template'
attribute is also the switch controlling whether or not the layer is
queryable.  Setting the 'template' attribute to _any_ string value
suffices
to activate querying::

     test_map = new mapscript.mapObj('test.map')
     layer = test_map.getLayer(0)   # this layer begins as non-queryable

     # activate querying - any value will do
     layer.template = 'foo'

Ignoring for the moment whether we are doing a spatial or attribute
query,
query results are obtained like so::

     ...  # continuing from above

     query_status = layer.queryByUnspecifiedCriteria() # not an actual
method!

     if (query_status == mapscript.MS_SUCCESS) then    # query has
results
     {
         # iterate over layer's query result set
         result_count = layer.getNumResults()
         for i in (0 .. result_count-1)
         {
             result = layer.getResult(i)
             ...  # do something with result
         }
     }

'layerObj::getResult' returns an instance of
'mapscript::resultCacheMemberObj'.
This 'result' object is a handle, of sorts, for a feature of the layer.
  Any
feature of a layer can be obtained using 'layerObj::getShape'.  If you
are
using the old-style API of previous MapServer versions, this method is
used
like::

     shape = mapscript.shapeObj(layer.type)  # new shape of the layer's
type

     layer.open()                            # must be done before
reading

     # Copy the first feature (shape index = 0) from the layer into
'shape'
     # while ignoring any tileindexing (tile index = -1)
     layer.getShape(shape, -1, 0)

     layer.close()                           # close after done reading

If you are using the optional next generation API that is a mapscript
build
option starting in MapServer version 4.2, you can use the much more
direct
method::

     layer.open()

     # in the new API getShape returns a shape of the proper type and
     # tile indexing is ignored by default
     shape = layer.getShape(0)

     layer.close()

Our 'result' object has 'shapeindex' and 'tileindex' attributes that can
be used as arguments to 'getShape'.  The previous example code can now
be
extended to the case of obtaining all queried features::

     query_status = layer.queryByUnspecifiedCriteria()

     if (query_status == mapscript.MS_SUCCESS) then
     {

         # open layer in preparation of reading shapes
         layer.open()

         result_count = layer.getNumResults()
         for i in (0 .. result_count-1)
         {
             result = layer.getResult(i)

             # Get the feature corresponding to the result using
             # the more direct next generation API
             shape = layer.getShape(result.shapeindex, result.tileindex)

             ...  # do something with this feature
         }

         # Close when done
         layer.close()
     }

Hi Sudip,

sounds like you are doing a lot of spatial analysis lately, please look
into PostGIS as a database backend for your application.

Mapserver can do some spatial analysis, but certainly not all. So store
your data in PostGIS and let PostGIS do the analysis work would be my 2
cents.

Best regards,
Bart

Hi,

This can't be very difficult: How can i set up a class expression in a
mapfile to show all points in a layer that have an attribute *not*
starting with "000"? I have already tried "expression /^[^0]{3}/" and
"expression /^[^0][^0][^0]/", but then no point are shown at all.

(other expressions (i.e. /^000/) work fine, so the rest of the mapfile
is OK)

Thanks, Berend

I thought of that, but it would not catch "012" or "990". I want only
those records that don't start with exactly 3 zeroes.

I have not tried it, but if it's anything like regex in perl I would write
something like

expression /^(?!000)/

That looks much better than
EXPRESSION /^[0-9]{0,3}[1-9]{1,3}[0-9]{0,3}[A-Z]/
but unfortunately, it doesn't work, no records are selected at all.

Can anyone tell me which flavour of RE MapServer uses? I have version
4.2 on Windows.

Hi,

I find gdal_translate about three times faster than mapserver when
processing a small area from a MrSID file.  If I add a class definition to
the layer in the map file, the results are black and white, but the image
renders at about the same speed as gdal_translate.  Is this disparity in
time a result of bands being extracted separately?

Thanks for any help,
Drew.

Drew,

Yes, the performance issue is related to MapServer reading each band
seperately.

What I really need to do is modify mapdrawgdal.c to use the "several bands

Hye
I'm a new user of mapser and I can't have access to mapserver.log.
The file doesn't exist.

I'm under winXP and IIS 5.0

I create ms_errorfile in environment variables of windows.
I put putenv("MS_ERRORFILE=$lofile"); in the top of the php file which call
the map file.

But anythings works ...

Does anyone can help me, please ?

Thank you

Hello,

I am installing mapserver with php mapsrcipt and need to configure

Action phtml-script /cgi/php
 AddHandler phtml-script .phtml

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml

Subject: OGR Source and Parameter Query
Message-ID: <FRI.10.SEP.2004.105607.0500.TIM.PASCOEEC.GC.CA>

I'm relatively new to MapServer, but I have so far developed a nice simple
application for displaying data from a database of national sampling
locations. The base information is coming from several WMS servers, while
the sample point information is an OGR data source from my local MS-SQL
Server instance.

What I'd like to be able to do is pass a parameter to the query being used
as the OGR data source, allowing a user to select a particular study from
the database, and thus display the sampling locations for only that study.
Does that make sense?

I looked through the archives, and didn't find anything that seemed
immediatly usefull, so I thought I'd see if anyone else had done something
like this. I'm running PHP 4.3.8, Mapserver 4.2 (precompiled Win32
binary), and IIS 6.0.

Any help is much appreciated.

joerg:
  If you are asking which config file to modify, you are looking for the httpd.conf file.
Try whereis httpd.conf or locate httpd.conf or (the long painful way) find / |grep -in "httpd.conf"

Use your favourite editor, and edit the file that gets returned.

Make sure to restart apache after the conf changes!

You can do both.
Editting layers has many options depending on the format of your data
and you should find plenty of information in the archives for both
editting shapefiles & postgis via mapscript.
Getting coordinates via a map click is just a matter of translating the
selected pixel coordinate into geographic coordinates based on the
extents of the map. The mapserver cgi does that automatically and there
are examples of how to do that in mapscript.

Tim,

Are you using a virtual OGR dataset to access the MS-SQL database?  If so,
you can replace the <SrcLayer> element with a <SrcSQL> element with a custom
query selecting on some criteria.  If you want to make this dynamic (ie. the
key passed in by the user somehow) things will get substantially harder.
One approach would be to use mapscript, and alter your ovf definition on the
fly.  Another would be have the ovf definition embedded in the .map file and
parameter substitution to substitute in our extra criteria.  I have never
tried doing the parameter substitution myself.

Hello all - my company is considering the use of MapServer, but we have
a specific need and we'd like to know if MapServer can do it.

Our client wants to be able to view maps on the web, but also be able
to change the symbology of the web-map on the fly.

Like in ESRI's ArcMap, in the layer pane if you double click a symbol you
get a Layer Properties dialog from which you can change the Symbology.

We'd like to do a similar dialog for a web map, though just for symbology,
and are wondering if MapServer supports something like that.

Thanks!

Hi,

you could use Mapserver's SLD (Styled Layer Descriptor) interface for
that, that's an OGC standard to do this kind of stuff.

It's not so easy getting it to work on linux.....

I have compiled mapserver with mapscript. First irritating thing when I
compile:
checking whether we have PHP3 or PHP4... -DPHP4
checking whether we should use PHP's regex... no
        PHP/MapScript module configured.
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating mapscript/php3/Makefile

So it says it finds PHP4 but creates directory php3.hmmm...????

And then, when I make mapserver:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/JP/sw/mapserver-4.2.2/mapscript/php3'

You can fetch the Javascript driving any web page pretty easily. If
the Javascript is within an HTML document, just use your browser to
view the source. If the Javascript gets loaded from a separate source
file, you will see a line in the HTML page like the following:
     <script language="JavaScript" src="tc/tc.js"></script>
In which case you can fetch the source by combining the URI of the
page containing the reference and the reference like this:
     http://www2.tetonwyo.org/mapserver/tc/tc.js
(where "http://www2.tetonwyo.org/mapserver/" is the URI of the
containing page and "tc/tc.js" reference to the Javascript source
file).

Bart's SLD suggestion below is an excellent approach if you are
working in a WMS environment.

If you are working with mapscript, it is easy to alter the styles.

If you are working with the CGI interface, you can over-ride map file
parameters with CGI variables like this:
   MAP_layerName_className_SYMBOL=xyz
The default symbology would be defined in the map file, and then
over-ridden with a CGI item=value pair(s) as needed. Refer to the "CGI
Variables" section  of the "CGI MapServer" documentation.

The approach I took was just to create a completely new layer in mapscript,
and then use mapscript to add points to that layer for every row of data the
SQL query gave me.

So far, it's working pretty well, but I'm not sure if it's the most efficient
route to getting dynamically selected data into a map, but it does certainly
provide a high level of flexibility.

Cheers!

Hi all,

I understand that MapServer supports the minimum required WellKnownName
(square, circle, triangle, cross, x) Marks in SLD.  The question is (since
the spec indicates that it's possible) how does one extend/add new symbols.
As mapserver seems to write the symbols in the mapfile anyway I was
wondering if there was a way that I could add my own.  We would prefer to
use vector symbology for obvious reasons.  Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think SLD is not only usable in a WMS
environment.  Mapscripts that apply user supplied or generated SLDs are
imaginable as well.  And this wouldn't be the worst choice.

My guess would be:

LAYER
  TYPE RASTER
...
  PROJECTION
    "proj=utm"
    "zone=32"
    "ellps=WGS84"
    "datum=WGS84"
    "units=m"
    "no_defs"
  END
...
END

Of course you have to adjust the zone parameter to the appropriate UTM
zone of your data.

Or you can use the gdalwarp utillity to reproject the images and putting
the reprojected versions to the map.

Hhmmmm...somehow, it doesn't work...

I put the Projection tag in my raster layer, but when I use the original
utm geotiff, it doesn't work.
When I use the by globalmapper reprojected geotiff, it works, but
unfortunately the image is not so nice.

When I test it with the reprojected image and the Projection tag, the
image is still shown in latlong. Actuelly I can use whatever in the
Projection definition, but nothing changes...

Maybe my proj doesn't work?
I am working at the moment with mapserver for windows.

Of course you have to adjust the zone parameter to the appropriate UTM
zone of your data.

Or you can use the gdalwarp utillity to reproject the images and putting
the reprojected versions to the map.

It can depend on what operating system you are running on too.  httpd.conf be
called something else.  Also, there may be nicer ways to do so to keep your
changes modular.  For example, on Suse linux I have a php4.conf file in
my /etc/apache2/conf.d folder.  The directives in this file get read as if
they were in httpd.conf.  This is nice because continually adding to
httpd.conf just makes it harder to find subtle changes that may have affected
your setup.

Do you have php running okay?

I am new user working with MapServer, couple of questions.  I am
working with the linux and windows version.

I am going to have to assume that ArcSDE support is not included by
default with the windows version.  I am testing a linux version and I
compiled it just fine ArcSDE-8.3, what is the simplest way to include
arcsde support in the windows version?

Can I just drop another dll in the lib directory, or do I have to
compile all of MapServer?

I also included the PDFLib support, downloaded the latest version, I
am assuming installed by default with the windows version.

Next question, for the windows version, what is the easiest way to use
MapScripts if you have limited control over your network.  What
scripting languages provides the easiest install?  PHP/Perl/Python?  I
think the php looks like the easiest option for IIS?

Last question, does mapserver operate in a server mode, for example,
can it bind to port and have a start/stop option.  Ideally I wish I
could run mapserver on once machine and send requests back and forth.

Howard Butler is serving up nightly builds of Python mapscript from
version 4.3 (CVS) at

   http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/9_12_2004

There is an installer with SDE support, and an important bug fix:


http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/9_12_2004/
mapscript-4.3.win32-py2.3-sde.exe

After you install Python 2.3.4 downloaded from

   http://python.org/ftp/python/2.3.4/Python-2.3.4.exe

run the windows installers and you are all set.  No reboot necessary.
PHP
might be this easy to install, but easier is just not possible.

There are many good resources on the web explaining how to do Python CGI
programming under IIS.

No server mode for mapserv, it is a CGI program only.  Same for PHP
mapscript.

However, you are not limited like this by Python.  At the past
MapServer Users
Meeting, I ran a workshop which included a demonstration of a WMS server
implemented using Python mapscript and the Twisted web framework that
runs
directly "out of the box".  This app is included in the workshop package

   http://users.frii.com/sgillies/projects/mum04/mum2smw.tar.gz

It doesn't require Apache or IIS, using it's own lightweight HTTP
server and
we got it up and running on an arbitrary port within the Carleton lab
network
without any problems.

cheers,
Sean

Nice, of course something that I also have been trying to work on, is
sending data(for example images(jpegs)) between servers as easily as
possible.  For example after an image is rendered, stream that image
to a server of choice.  For those machines that dont have UNC or other
network drive support.  That is the future, unless somebody has ideas
for this too?

Message-ID: <MON.13.SEP.2004.031130.0500.MARGOTTIDCOMUNE.LUGO.RA.IT>

Hi,
I use MapServer 4.01 as CGI, with jBox.

When I pan the map (either dragging it with mouse, or using javascript pan
buttons), I'm able to go out of the original extent and I see... nothing!

I'd like, if possible, that a user couldn't show maps (or portions of
maps) if these are beyond the maximum extent of my shape files.

Can MapServer - by itself - limit visualization to visible shapes if the
request exceed established coordinates?
How can I set this "maximum extent" in the .map file?

Or should I hardcode the maximum extent in my template file and use
javascript to see if I "go out"?

I hope the question is enough clear...

Thank you,
  Daniele

After some test i finally get it to work but i have to copy
"mapscript.jar" in the "/usr/local/lib" directory where
"libmapscript.so" stand.
Is it normal, i don't think it is??
Even with setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/local/lib
And run with java -cp mapscript.jar
It doesn't work, i've got an unsatisfiedLinkError: new_mapObj ........

So i'd like to know if someone could show me the command he used to
start his javaMapscript program and his config

If your data has an SRID assigned use something like

DATA "GEOLOC FROM TEST1 USING SRID XXXX"

where xxxx  is the SRID number of your data.

First, if you want to show your data in UTM, you will have to put a UTM
projection in the PROJECTION section of your MAP section (you can put this
section just below your EXTENT).  

Second, you will have to set your EXTENT and your UNITS correctly, according
to the projection you defined (units are meters of UTM).

Third, -180 -90 180 90 are the extents of the whole world which are not
suitable for a UTM projection.  If you want to use the UTM projection, you
will have to resize your extents to a specific UTM zone which is 6 degrees
wide only.  Outside of this zone, your data will be inaccurate and deformed.
So, if you have a very wide region to represent, it's better to choose an
appropriate projection like Lambert Conformal Conic.

Playing with projection require a particular know-how.  I recommend you to
browse the internet to find tutorials or ask a professional...  You will
find a lot of information on the proj site: http://proj.maptools.org/

Cheers!

The projection used to render the map doesn't depend on the projection

Subject: Map colors in PHP/Mapscript 4
Message-ID: <MON.13.SEP.2004.114015.0400.JOELFGNETCONSULTING.COM>

Hello list:

Probably a simple mistake on my part, but I cannot get the proper
colors to display on my map.  I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
I assume the .map setup would be fine, or do I need to specify
this info programmatically in PHP?

I want the image to have a white background.  The map is the US
with Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.  I want the states to be a
light brown, with the county and state boundaries black.

Currently, the state outlines are black, the counties are brown, and
everything else (all backgrounds) are white.  The sensors (last layer)
display fine.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Berlin;

In an attempt to answer your last two questions:

PerlMapScript has not been reported as the easiest way to go under
MS-Windows and appears to require Cygwin.

Mapserver is intended as a CGI behind an httpd server but by using
MapScript you could incorporate Perl modules for httpd and mapscript at
the same time and serve your maps that way. It does depend on what you
mean by "limited control over your network" as you need root privilege
on a machine to create a socket for the httpd to listen on.

http://search.cpan.org/~davidnico/HTTP-Server-Singlethreaded-0.05/Singlethreaded.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.800/lib/HTTP/Daemon.pm
http://search.cpan.org/~reatmon/Net-HTTPServer-1.0.2/lib/Net/HTTPServer.pm

One last thought is, if you have control of one machine but not the main
webserver, you could have the admin(s) of the main webserver setup a
proxy to pass all mapserver requests to your machine. If you need info
on that for Apache I can forward it, for IIS I'm sure someone else on
the list has that info.

Subject: WMS Troubleshooting
Message-ID: <MON.13.SEP.2004.111011.0500.DAVID.FAWCETTSTATE.MN.US>

I was troubleshooting a WMS server and WMS client and ran into a few
glitches.  I couldn't find much relating to these errors in the list
archives, so here are the symptoms that I had and the solutions that I
came up with.

When testing your WMS server using a WMS client, if you get an error
message like:

msDrawMap(): Image handling error.  Failed to draw layer named
'your_layer'.
msDrawRaster(): image handling error.  Unrecognized or unsupported
image format.
(followed by other error messages)

It is essentially telling you that your WMS client can't draw the WMS
layer as requested.  This could be a problem with the actual layer on
the WMS server or it could just be a problem with the syntax of your
request.  In my case, it had nothing to do with the image format
requested.

My next step was go back to my WMS server and pretend for a moment that
it was not a WMS server and to hit it through the normal CGI interface
like any other MapServer App.  The layer that I was interested in
displayed just like it should, so I started to think that maybe there
was something wrong with my WMS client.

The next logical step was to submit my GetMap request directly to the
WMS server.  I Copied the request URL out of the CONNECTION item for the
layer in the WMS client map file and submitted that directly through a
browser.

In my case, I got the following error:

msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error.
String(your_path_to_mapfile?version=1.1.1) failed expression test.

It turns out that this was telling me that there was a problem with the
URL that I was submitting. A stupid, simple typo syntax error was the
cause.  I had typed a '?' where I should have had a '&'.

Make sure that URL of your mapserver executable is followed by a '?'
and that all of the subsequent name value pairs are separated by the
'&'.

A valid URL would be:
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:\apache\htdocs\mymap.map&version=1.1.1&service=wms&layers=airphotos


The following URL would give you the msEvalRegex() error:
(note the second '?' after the map path)

http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:\apache\htdocs\mymap.map?version=1.1.1&service=wms&layers=airphotos

Subject: Itemquery and RegEx
Message-ID: <MON.13.SEP.2004.144421.0500.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

This one blows up for a couple of reasons:

1) regular expressions are to be enclosed in //'s
2) the syntax is wrong, the ()'s are tricking the expression parser
into treating (W|w) as a logical expression, a malformed logical
expression at that (hence the parse errors)

Try qstring=/[Ww]ashington/ and see if that works.

Hi list,
when I use "mode=itemnquery" (or "mode=itemquery") and I put a regular
expression as search string (for example, "qstring=(W|w)ashington") I
get
this error:

msQueryByAttributes(): Search returned no results. No matching
record(s)
found.
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
msyyparse(): Expression parser error. parse error
...
...

A "normal" search string (e.g., "qstring=Washington") works well:
record
is found, and query result is shown.

I use MapServer as CGI.

This is 'mapserv -v' output:

MapServer version 4.0.1 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=OGR
INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

What's wrong?

 Daniele


P.S.: why can't I send messages through my e-mail client? I have to
use
the web interface...

Yeah, use something like:
    mapserv.exe QUERY_STRING=map=tc/tc.map


Also Google "site:gis.umn.edu query_string" for more discussion

Message-ID: <TUE.14.SEP.2004.040713.0500.>

I installed mapserver/postgis a few days ago but I can't seem to get
a simple example working.  Is somebody willing to send me an example
postGIS map file as well as an SQL dump of their test database?
I just need a working demo - even if all it does is draw one line on
the screen.

This is the mapfile I've used so far.  I believe the extent is
right judging from the SQL result below.  All I get is just a gray
background on the PNG - no line segments at all.  I've also tried
TYPE LINES and same problem.

I have verified that database connection is successful and queries
were made.

Thanks,

Tim

The Java interpreter needs to find (and load) the shared library that
contains the C code you are invoking through Java objects.

To do this you have two options:

1) put  mapscript.so in a standard location (see /etc/ld.so.conf for you
systema defaults) (you might have to run ldconfig, but that's usually not
necessary)

2) set the env variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory containing
mapscript.so. You can do that from your bash shell typing:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/mapscript.so

HTH,
Umberto

Hye List !

I try to convert shape file with ogr2ogr.exe but when I open it in oracle, there's nothing in the coordinate system. If I want to enter it by hand, oracle don't want and erase what I write.

Is anybody an idea to convert shape file into oracle spatial and print it with mapserver ?

Thanks !

Hi List,

i am fighting with the SLD filter support of mapserver (4.2.3)
I have the following sld-file which should highlight all records where
ID  >= 33905. All remaining record should be displayed in red.

<StyledLayerDescriptor version='1.0.0'>

What i got is the attached file 'ms_sld.png'. When i did the same query
(ID  >= 33905) with ArcExplorer ('ae_sld.png') i got reasonable results
while the mapserver results are wrong.

When i use the unique field ID with ID=33905 (PropertyIsEqualTo) i got
the whole map highlighted not only one polygon.

What i am doing wrong?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Nicol

Jim;

There are (at least) a couple of options:

1)
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0306/msg00566.html

2) Use MapScript in a scripting language which will allow you to
integrate the MapServer capabilities as a new module.

Subject: Spatial filter on point shapefile
Message-ID: <TUE.14.SEP.2004.140601.0200.ANJA.BERKHOUTARIS.NL>

I used the executeWFSGetFeature() function to create a GML-file with the
coordinates and attributes of all polygons from a shapefile. My
questions are:

- is it possible to use a query during executeWFSGetFeature to only
select a few or one polygons from my shapefile? ( for example "[code] >
10" or "[NAME] = 'something'" )

- how can I use the resulting coordinates for one polygon from the
GML-file to select points (from another shapefile) within this polygon?
To show these selected points I make a copy of my point layer and I want
filter only the selected points.
I thought about some spatial filter but can't figure out which request
to use.

Anja Berkhout

Message-ID: <TUE.14.SEP.2004.072600.0500.SOLO6259YAHOO.COM>

I installed PHP 4.3.8 as a DSO ok.now i come to compiling mapserver 4.2.2
and i get the following output after including the --with-php switch to the
configure script.

checking for location of config.h or php_config.h...
/usr/local/include/php/main/php_config.h
checking whether we have PHP3 or PHP4... -DPHP4
checking whether we should use PHP's regex... yes
configure: error:
!!! The current version of PHP MapScript has some problems with       !!!

!!! Please re-configure and re-compile PHP4 using --with-regex=system !!!
!!! and then re-configure and re-compile MapServer.                   !!!
!!! Note that PHP's --with-regex=system works only when PHP is        !!!

now i got the workaround solution for keeping my DSO so that i run only
PHPMapScript scripts as a CGI and i run others as PHP module. but how do i
avoid this error and i don't want to compile php as a CGI module?

Hi Anja,

apart from the fact that <PropertyIsGreaterThan> is not the same as

Hi There,

  I have made a couple of tests using the tests data here (url is at

  The sld has a same kind of structure as yours (polygon symbolizer with
one filter and one else filer) and seems to apply the filters properly.
If you can provide me with sample data and sld that does not work, I can
check it more specifically.

Pierre -

MapServer optimizes for fast image rendering, which means quick
subsampling of pixels from an image.  This is a very fast way to produce
the output map, but does not produce the best image.  Using gdaladdo or
a similar mechanism to create different source resolutions is a very
good idea, because it gives you the ability to produce higher-quality
intermediate resolutions.  They will still be subsampled if necessary,
but they will be closer to the "original" and look better.  In some
cases you can control the rendering scales so the only output
resolutions permitted are those that are identical to ones you have
overviews for.

Pierre,

If you want to get reasonable greyscale values from a BW 1bit image as you
zoom out it is necessary to build overviews, and to ensure you use the
"-r average" switch to average values rather than the default nearest
neighbour sampling.

I believe that 1 bit TIFF files are represented as pseudocolored images
with 2 color tables entries.  To get a good greyscale result you will also
likely need to recode this to an 8bit image with 0 for black and 255 for
white.  Thus the averaging for overviews will give intermediate values.  If
you just do the averaging on the "pseudocolored" 1 bit file you won't get
this effect.

Back to the original file, the reason it generally doesn't look good at
overview zoom levels is because mapserver internally uses nearest neighbour
sampling unless overviews are pre-built via GDAL.  The nearest neighbour
sampling will pick one pixel in the region mapped to an output pixel as the
value.  For continuous tone images that vary fairly smoothly this is generally
ok.  But for 1bit linework scans such as some BW map scans, you will get spotty
representation of linework in the overviews and various aliasing effect could
result in some horizontal or vertical lines essentially disappearing at some
zoom levels.

While, a bit of a hack, you can use GDAL to do all the appropriate conversions
if you have the python support working smoothly.  From the commandline you
would do:

# Step 1: convert paletted image to 24bit RGB.
pct2rgb.py input_1bit.tif 24bit.tif

# Step 2: extract one band of the RGB image as greyscale image
gdal_translate -b 1 24bit.tif 8bit.tif

# Step 3: Build overviews
gdaladdo -r average 8bit.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64

# Step 4: Use the 8bit.tif in your mapfile.
...

This process should preserve the georeferencing (if available) from the
original file.  You might also want to apply compression to file in the
step where the greyscale image is extracted if space is an issue, and
also produce the greyscale image as a tiled image for more efficient access
from mapserver.  To do this alter step 2 to be:

   gdal_translate -b 1 -co TILED=YES -co COMPRESS=PACKBITS 24bit.tif 8bit.tif

I hope this helps a bit.  Note, you can convert the original file to 24bit
with libtiff tools (the tiff2rgba program) but I don't think there is a tool
to extract a single band, and there is no overview building tool normally built
with libtiff.  You might want to write a message to the libtiff maintainer
telling him that his library and tools suck, and that GDAL rocks.

PS. That last part is a joke ... I am the maintainer/co-maintainer for both.

Best regards,

Subject: Extracting data froma a shp
Message-ID: <TUE.14.SEP.2004.162930.0400.>

Hello, I hope that you can help me with this:

Actually I have mapserver and I'm creating a map with 2 layers, and I'm
generating another layer with mapscript. That layer is generated by
reading a data base that has latitude and longitud fields. So I read a
position (lat,lon) and generate the layer. Until here I have no problem,
the generated layer is appearing correctly in the map as a 3rd layer, but
the thing I'm trying to do is to extract from the shape file that is in
the other 2 layers, information that can help me to know how far is the
new point in the generated layer from the nearest information point in the
shp that is in the other 2 layers. I'm using this map for car
localization, so, in some way I have to make an information table with the
telling where the unit is referencing it with the other 2 layers in the
map. Is some solution for my problem?

Greetings

Thank you

Hi all,

I'm trying to query my map and have the resulting information appear in
a frame in the right hand side column of a table.  I've been reading
past listserv responses for a week and haven't found the answer I'm
looking for.  I've provided the code I think corresponds with my problem
below.

I don't know a few things that I would love to get some feedback on.
1.) Does the javascript I have look right?
2.) What code do I need to have in my "Map Mode" menu (see below) to get
the query results to send to a frame in the main map html?
3.) Can a frame exist in an html document as a stand alone frame?  For
instance, I would like the query info to display in the white space
below my legend.  The legend exists within a table column and I've
placed the frameset code below the legend.

If you see any other glaring errors in my logic, please feel free to
point it out.

Thank you,

~Becky


For the javascript code, I have the following:

//Checks Target
function CheckTarget(){
if (document.mapserv.mode.value == "query"){
document.mapserv.target="QueryResults";}
else{
document.mapserv.target="";
}
}

At the beginning of my form I have:

<form name="mapserv" method="GET" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv"
onSubmit="CheckTarget();" target="QueryResults">

In my Map Mode dropdown menu I have:

Map Mode:<br>
        <select name="mode">
        <option value="browse">Browse</option>
        <option value="map">Map</option>
        <option value="query" [query_select]>Query Single Layer</option>
         <option value="query" [mode_query_select]> Query State Info
        </select>

My frame code:

<frameset cols="214">                                                                   <frame name="QueryResults"

Hi Rebecca,

I'll try to help you the best I can... But no promises. ;-)

I haven't worked with targeted forms at all, but in theory, your code
looks pretty good. As far as your "frame code" goes, I think you need
two frames in the frameset. For example:
<frameset cols="214">
    <frame name="MapFrame" src="templates/frame0.html"> <!-- this frame
is your main application frame -->
    <frame name="QueryResults" src="templates/frame1.html" noresize>
<!-- this frame is used for your query results -->
</frameset>

You'll most likely need to modify my "persay" frameset page to make the
page look how you want it. The main point is that you will need two
frames in the frameset.

Could you give an example of how the page is acting with your current
code? Have you taken a look at the Itasca demo? It uses frames, but it's
done in a different way using JavaScript to pull the information from
MapServer, instead of assigning a target frame.

Hope I was helpful!

Brant

Hi Rebecca, it's been a while since I tackled the frames issue, but you can

The query function displays a photo in the left frame.

Hi dear,
I'm working with postgresql 8.0 beta1, postgis 0.9 and mapserver 4.0 on win
2000.
I putted all my shape in my db and I need to make a query below in my web
page:

select h887_p.num_foglio, h887_p.num_part, h887_p.area as area_particella,
round(
(area2d(intersection(geometryn(h887_p.the_geom,1),geometryn(v_pub.the_geom,1
)))/area2d(h887_p.the_geom)*100)::numeric ,0) as percentuale from h887_p
,v_pub
where (h887_p.the_geom && v_pub.the_geom);

My problem is thath I don't know how can I make this query in mapserver for
a specific point, I think thath I need phpmapscript and querybypoint.
Can someone explain to me the right way to do this or send an example of
this?
thanks in advance
Alberto

Thomas;

I'm a little unclear on the details.
What you have in the 3rd layer is a point but I'm not sure what is in
the first two layers.
If they are polygons you could use "layer->queryByPoint( mapObj map,
pointObj point, int mode, double buffer )" with no buffer or
"shape->contains( pointObj point )" to see if the point is within the
polygon. I'm not current on how the "shape->distanceToPoint( pointObj
point )" works for polygon shapes and you may want to view the source
code before assuming it works the way you anticipate.
If they are lines then you can use "layer->queryByPoint( mapObj map,
pointObj point, int mode, double buffer )" with incrementally larger
buffers to detect the closest line. Or an alternative method available
if your line data contains correct polygon topology you can query the
polygons for the one in which the point resides and then loop through
each of the lines that compose the polygon and calculate the distance
between each of the points that compose each of the lines and use the
shortest distance as the nearest line. Be aware that
"shape->distanceToPoint( pointObj point )" will extend the ends of a
line shape to find the shortest distance from a line to a point and that
is probably not what you need.
If they are points then you can use layer->queryByPoint( mapObj map,
pointObj point, int mode, double buffer )" with incrementally larger
buffers to detect the closest point.
Once the query is done and you have the resultcache you can pull
attributes based on the shape index of the resultcachemember.

You might want to consider creating a view in the database instead, if that
suits you.  Then calling it from MapServer with a simpler query.

Haiyan,

When reporting crashes within gdb it is also helpful to do a "where" command
so we can see the whole call stack.

This seems like it might be a bug in GDAL.  I would encourage you to report
it in the MapServer Bugzilla and ensure it is assigned to me.  You will need
to provide a dataset (ideally a smallish raster file that also demonstrates
the problem). Also, ensure you provide details on the version of GDAL you
are using.

To anyone who may know,
        Can Mapserver be used like a web service?
Here is my situation. I have a small device that I want to show maps on.
There are two ways I can do this as the device has a browser I can make a
small web page for it, or to give it more functionality I can write an
embeded app that displays maps from a web service.

So what I need to know is can Mapserver be used like a web service or do I
need to write a web service that acts as the interface to Mapserver?

I am using Mapserver for Windows and currently it?s set up with php
Mapscript for my web maps.
If I can use Mapserver as a service can I use the same one I?m running php
Mapscript against?

If not and I write a service is it safe to target the same Mapserver as php
is using via it?s Mapscript interface?

If it helps any the device sending the requests will be a Nextel Blackberry.
The language of the app sitting on the device will be J2ME ( Java Micro
Edition ). The service itself if I have to write one will be in C++.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy

Andy -

"Web service" is a pretty loose term; do you have specific interface
constraints (i.e. a particular interface model, etc.)?  MapServer
natively supports the OGC Web Map Service (WMS) that provides a very
nice, simple way to make an HTTP GET request that returns a image file
in the requested format.  Such a request can be easily used in, for
example, the "src=" property of an <IMG> tag on the requesting page.  It
can, of course, also be used in more complex environments where the
client/requester is a different sort of application than a simple HTML
viewer.

Subject: Mapserver Web service questions
Message-ID: <WED.15.SEP.2004.085546.0700.ANDY_CANFIELDHOTMAIL.COM>

Ed,
That is essentially what I was looking for.

So I can send and http request to it via a small device and have it return
an image directly?
Or does it put the image in a directory on the server from which I must
retrieve it via an io stream?

(
If I go the web service route it will be a MIDlet on a phone making the
request then embeding the image on the MIDlet's displayable canvas much like
ROSA does in Applet context. However ROSA pulls from a link essentially to
where the image has been created on the server.
)

Also in the GET request how do you specify layers off or on etc? Or do you
have to send a PUT type request first to configure the output that a GET
will return?

So far I have only used the php Interface so my knowlege of the actual
Mapserver itself is weak.
Thanks,
Andy

Please start by reading the WMS Client and Server documentation, which
you can find at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc.html - it's very simple
to use.

Hello,

I post this on the users list because I am one ...

The variable substitution (%var_name%) in mapfiles  for the DATA
keyword in a LAYER is quite handy for keeping the mapfile short
while having different data sources for a layer depending on scale.

Are there any plans to provide the same mechanism for the
TILEINDEX keyword?

Thanks, Martin

Hi Frank and Ed, thank you for your responses.
We are currently using GDAL 1.1.9.0, released 2003/06/27.

Up till I posted this problem, our Admin has helped us try all the
latest gdal versions in no vail. We do have successfully set up the the
same wms on the same box and another box before. But since we recompiled
everying of mapserver from the latest releases, we encountered the
current problem. And now even we tried switching back to some earlier
releases, it was still not working(well, it really should).

Not sure whether or not data could be causing this the problem because
we used the same data before. Here is the file anyways.

Well that's some new information!  You didn't mention that this image
was working in MapServer before you had trouble.

Are you certainly that you rebuilt MapServer with a current and complete
set of supporting libraries, particularly the current versions of
libtiff and libgeotiff?

If you compiled MapServer using --with-gdal, make sure you also used
--without-tiff.  That is a common problem.  Also, you may want to
compile GDAL using --with-libtiff=internal and --with-geotiff=internal,
if you didn't try that already.

Subject: shapefile transform
Message-ID: <WED.15.SEP.2004.144840.0500.BITNERMACNOISE.COM>

Off topic for mapserver list, but could anyone help me figure out a way to
apply a scale transformation to a shapefile.

I have locally surveyed data with the only connection to a "real" coordinate
system being that if you multiply all the coordinates by a factor of
.9999129 then you get the coordinates in State Plane.  Evidently this is the
result of a mistake made 50 years ago that has been propogated ever since.

Basically, since there is no projection information for this data and it is
change in scale, rather than just an xy shift I am stuck on how to make the
transformation using ArcGIS, OGR, or other tools.

Thanks,
David

David -

That conversion isn't quite on the mark, but could this be a discrepancy
between a U. S. Survey Foot State Plane definition and an International
Foot definition?  It's just about the right size and would be consistent
with 50-year-old data.  If so, you should be able in ArcGIS to edit the
projection definition (I think) to make the adjustment.  That adjustment
would be a factory of 0.999998, though.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] shapefile transform

Off topic for mapserver list, but could anyone help me figure out a way
to apply a scale transformation to a shapefile.

I have locally surveyed data with the only connection to a "real"
coordinate system being that if you multiply all the coordinates by a
factor of
.9999129 then you get the coordinates in State Plane.  Evidently this is
the result of a mistake made 50 years ago that has been propogated ever
since.

Basically, since there is no projection information for this data and it
is change in scale, rather than just an xy shift I am stuck on how to
make the transformation using ArcGIS, OGR, or other tools.

Thanks,
David

Hello,

I am trying to use the tile4ms utility and I can't find the executable file.
Mapserver is installed on FreeBSD from a package. Any hints on where I
should look and am I looking for a file called just tile4ms with no
extension?

If it wasn't included in the package, how do I create this utility from the
distribution?

 Hi,
I've just found ImageMap wiki page and this

I would be interested in using it too. But i wonder if
it would be possible to use it with a dhtml interface
(with image dragging and zoom box).

Right now, i'm using JBox and rosa Applets but i
would like to try a more interractive solution (like
ImageMap with dhtml). Has anybody got other examples?

Subject: Area of a Polygon in PHP/Mapscript
Message-ID: <THU.16.SEP.2004.100751.0300.TENIERERGOV.NS.CA>

Hi all,

I have been implementing Stepan Kafka's c-code for calculating area of
a polygon in php/mapscript. His code seems to work fine. The only
problem is that I keep getting a numlines result of 1 and numpoints
result of NULL for my shape BEFORE I get a chance to use it in the area
code. This, of course will give me an invalid area of 0. The numshapes
variable within the shapefile object works great, always gives me the
correct result.

Wonder if anyone could let me know what they think is going on?

Thanks,
Rene

Here is the output:

[15-Sep-2004 15:47:23] Area is:0

$theShape = $oShapeFile->getShape(0);
error_log('Numlines:'.$theShape->numlines);
error_log('Numpoints:'.$theShape->line[0]->numpoints);
$shpArea = shapeArea($theShape);
error_log('Area is:'.$shpArea);


function shapeArea($myShape)
{
  $area = 0;

  {

    return $area;
  }

  {
    $sum = 0;

Hi Pierre,

I don't know if Mapserver alone is able to change projection on the fly.
But I think postgis is able to do that with the proj4 library properties.

Subject: template query with mapscript
Message-ID: <THU.16.SEP.2004.162226.0200.GREGORY.DYKEEPFL.CH>

Hi list,

With the aid of Steve Lime, I have managed to produce an svg map with mapserver.

I want to replicate this query with mapscript so as to save this to file and do further processing with php.

I can't figure out which of the mapscript API is usefull to me: processQueryTemplate only gives me the WEB header and footer and processTemplate sigfaults (I'm using mapserver4.2.3, so the problems from back in july should be sorted.)

Here is the cgi query I use:

mapserv?map=/var/www/html/testswiss.map
&mode=itemnquery
&qitem=Tname
&qstring=/./
&qlayer=county

-------------------------------------------------

Here is the mapfile:

MAP
  NAME 'testswiss'
  EXTENT 485410 75285 833838 295935
  STATUS OFF # we don't want a raster map
  UNITS METERS
 # DEBUG

  WEB
    HEADER 'header.svg'
    FOOTER 'footer.svg'
    QUERYFORMAT 'image/svg+xml'
    LOG "problem.log"
  END

  LAYER
    NAME county
    STATUS DEFAULT
  # CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
# CONNECTION "data/SWISSTEST.MIF"
    DATA "swiss.shp"
    TYPE QUERY
    HEADER nap_header.svg
    FOOTER nap_footer.svg
    TEMPLATE nap.svg
  END
END

---------------------------------------

here is the phpfragment I tried:

$map_file="/var/www/html/testswiss.map";
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_file);
$layer = $map->getLayer(0);
$tmparray["mode"]="itemnquery";
$tmparray["qitem"]="Tname";
$tmparray["qstring"]="/./";
$tmparray["qlayer"]="county";
#echo $map->processTemplate($tmparray,MS_TRUE);
#segfaults

echo $map->processQueryTemplate($tmparray);
#only produces header and footer in the WEB object

---------------------------------------------

I hope you can help me. For the curious, here is the (huge) svg this is supposed to generate (and yes, I tried on a reduced file and it still segfaults). You will need internet explorer and adobe svg plugin unfortunately; try clicking on the different surfaces:

The GetFeatureInfo takes as argument INFO_FORMAT instead of FORMAT. So
you should specify INFO_FORMAT=text/xml. You must also make sure that
the layer on which you do the request has a valid template attched to it
(xml document in your case).

Subject: Spatial filter in SLD
Message-ID: <THU.16.SEP.2004.165349.0200.ANJA.BERKHOUTARIS.NL>

Dear list,

I try to create an SLD string (in PHP) with a spatial filter as follows:


$szSLD = '<StyledLayerDescriptor version="1.0.0">'.
          '<NamedLayer>'.
          '<Name>Testlayer</Name>'.
          '<UserStyle>'.
          '<FeatureTypeStyle>'.
          '<Rule>'.
          '<Filter>'.
          "<Intersect><PropertyName>Geometry</PropertyName>".
          "<gml:Polygon srsName='EPSG:28992'>".
          '<gml:outerBoundaryIs><gml:LinearRing><gml:coordinates>'.
          '130036,477272 130256,477116 '.
          '130664,477865 130819,477642'.
          '</gml:coordinates></gml:LinearRing></gml:outerBoundaryIs>'.
          '</gml:Polygon></Intersect>'.
          '</Filter>'.
          '<PointSymbolizer>'.
          '<Graphic>'.
          '<Size>5</Size>'.
          '<Mark>'.
          '<WellKnownName>square</WellKnownName>'.
          '<Fill>'.
          '<CssParameter name="fill">#ffff00</CssParameter>'.
          '</Fill>'.
          '</Mark>'.
          '</Graphic>'.
          '</PointSymbolizer>'.
          '</Rule>'.
          '</FeatureTypeStyle>'.
          '</UserStyle>'.
          '</NamedLayer>'.
          '</StyledLayerDescriptor>';

After that I use applySLD to apply the spatial filter to a layer, but
nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
When I use a filter like <PropertyIsGreaterThanOrEqualTo> it works fine,
and two classes are created in the layer.

Greetings,
Anja

Hi,

I am interested in the MapServer WCS.  Currently I can't find any
documentation on
the MapServer WCS, are there any presentations anywhere?

Also is it useable at the moment, and is there a windows binary
anywhere, or is it solely
for Linux.

I particularly want to serve 16 bit tiff data, so any information would
be greatly appreciated.

You probably have the mapscript.dll also loaded by PhP by default.
Check your php.ini.

There are two options:
1. To load mapscript.dll with php by default (uncheck it in the list of
extensions in php.ini)
OR
2. To load it at the execution time (when needed) the way it is in your
script.

Both at the same time do NOT work, since obviously double registration
of functions is not possible.

Norman,

Check the MapServer wiki and http://hypnos.cbs.umn.edu/~pnaciona/wcs/.
Steve Lime and Tom Burk has a presentation on WCS available for download
at http://www.omsug.ca/osgis2004/proceedings.html.

You ask about its usefulness...  there are a few bugs that still need
fixing, the most important of which (to me) is the output image
referencing.  See MapServer bugzilla for pending WCS issues.

There's still no windows binary available with WCS because I'm unable to
compile the WCS support in Windows.  Perhaps you can ask the DM
Solutions' folks or Frank Warmerdam to give it a try.  I know a few
other people looking/waiting for WCS support in MapServer on Windows.

MapServer supports 8-,16-, and 32-bit raster data.  The URL I gave above
has a demo that uses 16-bit rasters and can output 16-bit single-layer
rasters.  I don't know if MapServer's WCS implementation supports 16-bit
RGBs output but I guess that would also depend on GDAL library.

Good luck!
-Perry

I have not tested the mygis module with queries so it is possible that there
are some hidden bugs, I'll try and check this.

David,

The shapelib package includes a contributed utility written by Bill Miller
called shputils that appears to include applying arbitrary factors to coordinates.

   http://shapelib.maptools.org/

I think you would use it like this but I have never tried it this way.

  shputils in.shp out.shp FACTOR INCH 99.99129

You might need to experiment a bit. The FACTOR stuff seems to default to
100'th of an "inch" for coordinates, but I think the above will fake out
the transformation stuff.

It should also be possible to fake out the shpproj utility included in
shapelib to accomplish the same thing, but I won't even try and describe
how that might work.

Best regards,

Subject: 3.6 to 4.2 relative versus absolute data path issue
Message-ID: <THU.16.SEP.2004.131109.0500.SIMCOCKEARTHIT.COM>

We are in the process of moving to mapserver 4.2 from 3.6.   The mapfiles we
have generally use relative paths to data.   Updating to 4.2 causes two
relative pathname issues to occur:

1) When I switch over to the 4.2 executables, raster data in AI grid format
does not display.  If I change those data paths to absolute, it displays.
This is only happening with AI grid files ? a tif raster is displaying with
relative paths without a problem.  The relative paths are correct and work
fine in 3.6.

2) Vector files display fine with relative paths, but opening shapefiles in
PHP mapscript only works if I switch them over to absolute paths in the
mapfile.  The relative paths are correct and work fine in 3.6.

The problem has been isolated to the 3.6 to 4.2 switch ? tested on the same
windows server.  We have a LOT of mapfiles/projects with many layers in
each, really want to avoid having to change them all to absolute
pathnames
would also make it difficult to move around projects
(mapfile/dataset combinations) on the server.

Thanks,
Adam Simcock

Adam,

Do you refer to the grid files by the directory containing the grid coverage?
I think the new code that "tries" to apply SHPPATH will not apply it unless
the resulting name ends up referring to a real file in the file system.
I suspect directories don't count.

It was done this way because there are some "dataset names" that GDAL
accepts that don't refer to file system objects at all and these can obviously
not be made relative to the SHPPATH.

I've no idea why this is.

Subject: reference map size
Message-ID: <THU.16.SEP.2004.160355.0400.PDRAKEGMAIL.COM>

I am having a problem getting the reference map size to accept changes
via parameters in a URL as described here:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/cgi-reference.html#mapfileURL

The parameter "map_scalebar_size=100+5" gives me a scalebar 100px X
5px.  The paramter "map_reference_size=60+40" does not give me a
reference map of size 60px X 40px as I would expect.  Instead, it
gives me a reference map of whatever size is defined in the .map file.
 Am I doing something wrong?  Can anyone confirm if this is a bug?
Thanks!

Hello,

I am trying to use the tile4ms utility and I can't find the executable file.
Mapserver is installed on FreeBSD from a package. Any hints on where I
should look and am I looking for a file called just tile4ms with no
extension?

If it wasn't included in the package, how do I create just this utility from
the distribution?

P.S. I'm posting this question again as I posted it under a meaningless
subject before.

Thanks,

I am working with the php_mapscript_42 dll from

and I working with php_4.3.8

Questions: The file size is 2MB, does this dll get loaded every time
the page is hit, I placed the dll in the php4 extensions directory.

Also, I normally get to any map generation because the php code
timesout, what normally creates this problem?

The map is really simple and it works with the mapserv.exe.

    <?php

$map_file="simple.map";
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_file);
$image=$map->draw();
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage();

John,

I think you will have to download the mapserver source and any required
dependencies and build it. tile4ms is built as part of that process. You
might want to go back to whoever built you binary package and ask them
to include the utilities. You should probably also have shptree,
sortshp, shp2img if they were not provided.

John,

Yes, 'tile4ms' with no extension.

I haven't used FreeBSD, but I bet there's a standard place where
packages install executables (like /usr/bin on Redhat).  Otherwise, have
you tried using the 'find' command to search across your system?

If you want to build just tile4ms you could build mapserver from source,
then copy out tile4ms and delete the rest.  Or build mapserver from
source and just use it all instead of using the package :-)

Greetings!

So far I have had great success with with mapserver 4.2 compiled for
linux with the help of the mail list!

I was thinking about implimenting a form element that would allow a
persion to zoom to a set lat+long coordinate. All of my geographic data
are in already in LatLong style projection, thus there should be no need
for any complicated math or re-projections.

However, I can't quite figure out how to get mapserver to zoom to a
user-input coordinate pair...

Do i need to calculate a map extent from the user-input coordinates?

Thanks in advance!

Subject: shpfile loading
Message-ID: <FRI.17.SEP.2004.100329.0200.STEFANO.BONNINCOMAI.TO>

Hi,

I have one spatial table (my_postgis_table) with a schema like

    the_geom,object_name,object_id ......

I'd like to know if is possible in a simple way to load data from a generic shape file into "my_postgis_table".

The shp2pgsql load data into postgis spatial table creating a table with the same schema of the shape, so, the problem here is to "create a mapping" from shp file fields and my table.

The most simple way that I found is the following:

1) use the shp2pgsql loader in order to load the data into postgres spatial table (my_spatial_table_temp)
2) read the schema of "my_spatial_table_temp" and give to the user a page where to create the mapping between the 2 tables
            Example:

                            my_spatial_table_temp.generic_field1 --> my_postgis_table.object_name
                            my_spatial_table_temp.generic_field2 --> my_postgis_table.object_name

                            ...

                            and obviously:
                            my_spatial_table_temp.geom --> my_postgis_table.the geom
                            ....
                            and so on ...


3) Excute the query that copies the gis data from my_spatial_table_temp to my_postgis_table using the mapping just created.
4) drop the "my_spatial_table_temp" table

is this the right way or exists another procedure more simple than this one?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Does anyone have an example of how to do a GetFeature request with a

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=test.map&typename=nap
   &request=getfeature&service=wfs&format=text/xml&version=1.0.0

(wrapped for readability)

but when I try to set a filter, i.e.
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=test.map&typename=nap
   &request=getfeature&service=wfs&format=text/xml&version=1.0.0
   &filter=<Filter><PropertyIsEqualTo>
   <PropertyName>pnt_pntid</PropertyName><Literal>032D0243</Literal>
   </PropertyIsEqualTo></Filter>
MapServer returns:

   http://www.ttt.org/myns

Hi Rene,

i have a question to your implementation of Stepan's c-code.
You identify e.g. the number of points with:
$theShape->line[0]->numpoints

According to the docs i expect the following line
$theShape->line(0)->numpoints

unfortunately this statement returns the following error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in
/home/nicol/public_html/mapserver/dev/area_calculation.php on line 23

Your statement returns NULL. 
Do you know what i am doing wrong.

Thank you very much
Nicol

It depends on the volume of the data.
If you render the background layers ( city, roads...) from shp file, and
fetch some dozens of gps points from mysql by php I don't think you will
notice the difference.

Subject: REQUIRES
Message-ID: <FRI.17.SEP.2004.083321.0500.DAVID.FAWCETTSTATE.MN.US>

I did a little more digging last night and tested it out today.

When applying REQUIRES to a layer with STATUS DEFAULT, the layer is not
drawn, but it does still show up in the legend.  This is a standard
image legend (png), not a html legend.

This issue can be found in Bugzilla as Bug# 428, but it relates only to
html legends.  It looks like there hasn't been any activity on this bug
for a year or so.

When using REQUIRES to set the context for when a layer should display
or not, it looks like setting the STATUS of the layer to DEFAULT
overrides any effect dictated by REQUIRES.

Can anyone confirm or dispute this?

It's easier to manage your data if it is in PostGIS, but that is about
where the advantages run out (unless you are also doing concurrent
incremental update).

Afternoon All,

I'm wanting to know if it's possible to get MapServer to work with
ArcSDE 9.0 on Windows.

Has anybody tried / tested this?

Many thanks,

i There,

  I have checked a bit this issue. There were a couple of bugs related
with DWithin and Intersect spatial filters. There is a new version of
mapogcfilter.c (r 1.31). You should give it a try.
Another note on using the applysld from php with spatial filter (based
on your example) : there are no class created for the layer since the
filter is only a spatial filer. What happens is that the spatial filter
is converted into a query in mapserver and applied to the layer. If you
are doing your tests throuh php you should use drawquery to see the
effect of the sld.

Let me know how it goes.

Later,

This is my first aplication, so it might be a very stupid question. - I
can't see the map from any terminal other than the one where mapserv
resides...

I also tried with the examples in the tutorial and everything is fine as
long as the map is a static map (map mode). In 'example 1-9' dynamic maps
and browse mode are introduced - from than onwards non of the maps are
displayed over the net.

Thanks for your help.

All,

I'm trying to combine two layers into a single imagemap via the GROUP
parameter in the MAP file.  My question is, how do I get two different
(or even the same) imagemap templates to combine into a single output
IMAGEMAP?

Maybe I'm stretching the capabilities here.

In this particualr case I only want to restype some point display.  The
attribute data is even the same.  But what if the Data weren't the same,
how would I filter through two different (SHP) data files into a single
ImageMap output?

Thanks

Hi all,

Many thanks to Brant and Tyler for their input on my problem.  :D

The solution that got me up and running was to create a frame.html doc
with two frames.  The key for making it work in the end was to name the
frame I wanted to direct query results in the frame.html doc.

<FRAMESET ROWS="79%,*">
        <FRAME
SRC="http://mapserver.geog.umn.edu/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/name/public_html/Mapdoc/Map1.map&mode=browse">
        <frame name="QueryResults" src="templates/frame1.html" noresize>
</FRAMESET>

Thanx again!

Hey everybody,

I'm having two problems with a modified querymap I'm working with.  In
an attempt to recenter to the queried feature, I followed Steve Lime's
advice in a past listserv post, which was:

        Just centering is easy. In you're query template you might have
        something like:

        <!-- the image -->
        <img src="/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=[map]&mapxy=[shpmidx]+[shpmidy]
        &scale=250000[get_layers]&mode=map">

The result of this is almost exactly what I was looking for, except for
two things.

1. The querymap map size takes the main map's size, instead of the
smaller size I put in the QUERYMAP part of the .map file (see below).
How can I regain access to my original querymap specifications?

2. The other thing I'd like to have is my selected polygon hilite.  Like
my first question, the hilite feature only works when I don't change the
img src tag.  Is there a way I can have my cake and eat it too?

Thanks for helping,

~Becky

In case "faster" is not your only concern - consider that you can also use
PostGIS with a geometry engine (aka GEOS) that can create buffers, run
overlap analysis, etc.  So while general data management in PostGIS is nice,
it's actually awesome at helping you manipulate data and create new data from
queries.  I can't over-sell the benefit of having all those capabilities
rolled into one PostgreSQL database and accessible via SQL.

For example, I'm guessing that you could create a query or new table that
shows the closest waypoint to a city - or show waypoints that are within a
certain distance of others - all using SQL in PostGIS.

Consider the power of PostGIS :)

Joerg,

If you are not mixing data with different projects it is safe to get rid
of all the projection blocks in your mapfile. Also set the layer STATUS
DEFAULT to make sure it is always on and try it again.

Message-ID: <SAT.18.SEP.2004.111359.0500.BAIJINGYUHOTMAIL.COM>

Hi, thanks for the help from this forum and after reading most useful posts
in forum I can finally compiled the map server in MT option which is using
LIBCMT.LIB in VC 6++ under XP.  The mapserv.exe file size is much bigger
than the mapserver distribution version (mine is 369k). I used DOS command
line >mapserv -v and got:
D:\Projects\mapserver-4.2.3>mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.2.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=JPEG INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

This means I at least compiled the Map server but when I put this exe file
in apache cgi-bin folder and trying to test it from web using

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=D:\Projects\mapserver-4.2.0-
distribution\httpdoc\data\example1-1.map&mode=map

I got a Microsoft popup fatal error window and ask me if I want to send
"mapserv.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry
for the inconvenience." ...

If I only use
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe without paramters, I wouldn't get
microsoft error window instead I got a msg in my IE browser saying
"No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty. "

If I use Map Server binary distribution mapserv.exe and I wouldn't get
above error.

I got Map Server compiled by reading all helpful post here but why I still
get the error when trying to use it as a cgi script ???!!!  Is this related
to the option I used to compile GDAL and mapserver? if so could somebody
send me your working windows VC version of GDAL namke.opt file and
mapserver makefile.vc to me? Please help me.  Thanks

Hi Dylan,

Calculating a map extent will work. All you are doing is overriding the
extent that was set in the mapfile. Just change it via the URL using the
CGI interface with map_extent=minX+minY+maxX+maxY.
For example: map_extent=329801+5104534+330613+5105346

Go here for a complete reference:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/cgi-reference.html
Take a look at "Changing map file parameters via a form or a URL" near
the bottom of the document for more details.

Cheers,
Brant Anderson

Hi folks,

sorry this little off-topic question...

everybody knows benefits a WMS/WFS connection could provide to users, but I wanted to know if technologies such as a WMS( a remote data publication service ) connection is also available for other kind of scenarios: I mean, which technologies are available( and good!) today for creation tabular data publication service... my customer wants to connect his worksheet program directly to a given website and then see his tabular data pasted into a worksheet... using this tabular data could be use on web or using a client application.

There is no world file. I can open with globalmapper the Geotiff tags:
Projection: UTM
Datum: WGS84
Unit: meters
UTM ZONE: 33 (12E - 18E)
Geo Tiepoint (0.00, 0.00, 0.00) --> (265363.50, 6002869.50, 0.00)

If I reproject this file to Geographic latitude longitude projection,
it's no problem to display it with mapserver.

Surely there must be someone who can help me out? I've read the OpenGis

get any intersect filter to work.
Here's what I have in my sld now:

<StyledLayerDescriptor version='1 0 0'>

    <UserStyle>
      <Title>nap</Title>

              <Polygon srsName="EPSG:28992">

              </Polygon>
            </Intersect>
          </Filter>

          <PointSymbolizer>
            <Graphic>
              <Size>5</Size>
              <Mark>
                <WellKnownName>circle</WellKnownName>
                <Fill>
                  <CssParameter name="fill">#0000ff</CssParameter>
                </Fill>
              </Mark>
            </Graphic>
          </PointSymbolizer>
        </Rule>
      </FeatureTypeStyle>
    </UserStyle>
  </NamedLayer>
</StyledLayerDescriptor>

But when I call mapserver, all I get is an empty image.
http://localhost/ms_dev/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../map/test.map&service=wms&request=getmap&version=1.0.0&layers=nap&styles=&sld=http://localhost/sld6.xml
when I leave out the filter part from the sld it works, so there must be
something wrong there.
I'm not entirely sure about <PropertyName>, does it make any difference what
I put in there?

Thanks in advance, Berend

Message-ID: <MON.20.SEP.2004.151130.0200.FRANSGEODAN.NL>

Hello people,

I am using mapserver 4.2.3 with GDAL and I have a problem. Maybe someone
can help? I am trying to get the GetFeatureInfo request to work on an
ArcInfo grid. The grid displays well. Here is a part of the map file in
its current shape:

  LAYER
    NAME "elevation"
    DATA "E:\data\elevation"
    TYPE RASTER
  END

  LAYER
    STATUS ON
    NAME "elevation_query"
    DATA "E:\data\elevation"
    TYPE QUERY
    DUMP TRUE
    TEMPLATE template.htm
  END

As you can see, I have defined two layers, one for display and one for
query. This is because I could not get the "type raster" layer to become
queryable. When I request the capabilities, the second layer is reported
to be queryable, but the first not. However, a getFeatureInfo request
results in the following error:

<ServiceException>
 msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (E:\data\elevation)
 msSHPOpenFile(): Unable to access file. (E:\data\elevation)
 </ServiceException>

Is there something I am obviously doing wrong? Is there another raster
format that might work better?

Thanks in advance,

Frans

I think this is provided as an extra pre compiled program, or must be turned

For raster layers you need the file extension too.
DATA "E:\data\elevation.tif"  or whatever it is.

Are you sure? An ArcInfo grid is not a single file, but a directory
containing several files. I have just tried using a filename
(E:\data\elevation\w001001.adf), but I got the same results: GetMap
works, but GetFeatureInfo doesn't. If I should use a filename in stead
of the directoryname, which of the files should I use?

ok I guess I didnt understand what kind of file you were using. Your right,
you can provide the directory or a filename.

Hopefully someone who knows more about the layout of a shapefile can
help here.
Is the segment between two points on a line object always a straight line?
I know a coverage is and we are using shapefiles translated from
coverages so it's probably safe to assume that is the case here but I
don't want to break my mapscript function for generic shapefiles we may
add later.

Thanks.

Lowell,

Yes, in a shapefile the polyline segments are always considered to be
straight lines.

Lowell,

Shapefile ARC objects can be polylines. That is they can have multiple
points that describe a curve, but between any two adjacent points in a
polyline, the segment is always a straight line. This holds true for the
simple polyline that only has 2 points (ie: a line).

Hope this answers your question.

Subject: About ordering of layers.
Message-ID: <MON.20.SEP.2004.104255.0500.BOB.BASQUESCI.STPAUL.MN.US>

All,

It seems that the LAYERs are interpreted in the MAP file from the top
down for processing.

I've managed to get the grouping of LAYERS to work for IMAGEMAPs as
well.  It looks like the process reads from the bottom to the top though
for the IMAGEMAP generation when more than one definition is available.

This for example produces the correct IMAGEMAP (notice the order of the
commented out TEMPLATE parameters):

  LAYER
    NAME 'monuments-cogo'
    DATA
'/pearl/SHP/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/MONUMENTS/SURVEY/2004_09/COGO/Monuments-cogo'
    GROUP 'monuments'
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POINT
    LABELITEM 'OLD'
    ##LABELITEM 'COGO'
    CLASS
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
      LABEL
        FORCE TRUE
        COLOR 255 200 200
        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
        SIZE LARGE
        WRAP ' '
      END
    END
    ##HEADER   '../../imagemap/monuments_header.html'
    TEMPLATE '../../imagemap/monuments_record.html'
    FOOTER   '../../imagemap/monuments_footer.html'
  END

  LAYER
    NAME 'monuments-nocogo'
    DATA
'/pearl/SHP/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/MONUMENTS/SURVEY/2004_09/NOCOGO/Monuments-nocogo'
    GROUP 'monuments'
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POINT
    LABELITEM 'OLD'
    ##LABELITEM 'COGO'
    CLASS
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
      LABEL
        FORCE TRUE
        COLOR 200 200 255
        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
        SIZE LARGE
        WRAP ' '
      END
    END
    HEADER   '../../imagemap/monuments_header.html'
    TEMPLATE '../../imagemap/monuments-nocogo_record.html'
    ##FOOTER   '../../imagemap/monuments_footer.html'
  END

Is this normal operation?   Is there some ordering directive someplace
that can be inserted to dictate at what point a  LAYER is drawn?

Thanks  bobb

You could use PHP/Perl/Python mapscript as CGI program that opens a
mapfile and adds a layer and draws it.

Bob,

You are right that layers are draw from the top to the bottom of the
mapfile, BUT labels for those layers are placed in a cache and drawn in
the opposite direction because this is what you normally want to happen
so labels at the bottom of the mapfile are drawn before labels at the
top of the mapfile.

So I think what you are seeing is that fact that the label cache is
being used for your image map. You can turn off the label cache on a
layer by layer basis which might give you the control you need.

Subject: swig mapscript: your opinion on changing layerObj::getShape() for
 version 4.4
Message-ID: <MON.20.SEP.2004.110219.0600.SGILLIESFRII.COM>

Hello mapscripters,

For some time, an alternative API has been available to to those
who build their own SWIG mapscript modules.  I think it is time
to make one feature of the experimental API permanent.

In the experimental API getShape returns a shapeObj and takes
shapeindex and tileindex as arguments.

     shapeObj getShape( int shapeindex [, int tileindex=-1 ] )

The usage for the case of tileindexed shapefiles is like this

     tileindexed_layer.open()
     shape = tileindexed_layer.getShape(shapeindex, tileindex)
     tileindexed_layer.close()

In the case of layers without tileindexing, the second argument
can be omitted because it defaults to -1

     layer.open()
     shape = layer.getShape(shapeindex)
     layer.close()

I'd like to get feedback on 2 facets of this proposal.  The way
I see it

1) return value change from int to shapeObj

    requires update of scripts:    -1
    more like php mapscript:       +1
    prevents shape type conflicts: +1
    reduces need to create shapes: +1
    just plain better:             +1

2) reorder arguments

    less like php mapscript:                       -1
    for postgis layers avoids a useless argument:  +1
    for regular shapefiles avoids useless arg:     +1

Please see this bug for more details:

Sean

Sean,

I vote for the change(s).
The method should just return a shape and not requiring the
documentation of a flag (-1) for things to work correctly are a good thing.

Subject: showing .gif image
Message-ID: <MON.20.SEP.2004.131848.0500.ZHOU_NAIJUNHOTMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I'd like to show a gif image (on the MapServer) as a dynamic layer in the
Chamaleon WMS.
I set the Layer object's name field with the image in order to add the Layer
object. However, how can I tell Chamaleon know the starting point of the
image(layer)?

Layer
            $oNewLayer = ms_newLayerObj($oMap);

            // set name
            $oNewLayer->set("name",$myName);
            $oNewLayer->set( "data", $gifFileName);

I know the minx, miny, maxx, maxy of the gif image but don't know how to set
them in Layer object of Chamaleon. It seems that the gif is by default
treated as having an extent of (0,0,imageXSize, imageYSize).

Thank you very much!

N. Zhou

Dear people,

Mapserver is a great toy. Iit's the first time I am doing GIS in a project 
and after looking around for quite some while, I decided to try 
mapserver.

But I've got some troubles, of course.

I am using php-mapscript (I hope this is the right list ?)
and I would like to use a basic mapfile and then add dynamic data to it.

In this instance I have a shapefile with 483 cities, but the .dbf file 
only has their name and number of inhabitants. Now I'd like to add a 
score to it, which I retrieve live from a mysql database. The score can 
be 1-7, depending on some questionaires that citizens filled in. Goal is 
to color the cities different according to their score.

I tried modifying the 'values' from the shapeObj(ects) but these are 
readonly. I do *not* want to wrtie a .dbf file with the dynamic data to 
disk, not do I want to use Postgress or Oracle or wait for mysql spatial 
extentions. 

Anyone can point me in the right direction !?

Grateful, as always,

Ace

Subject: Dynamic SLD - variable passing problem
Message-ID: <MON.20.SEP.2004.170551.0400.TIM.PASCOEEC.GC.CA>

I'm working on setting up a dynamically generated SLD, in order to provide user-defined filtering for my application. The SLD is being applied to a virtual OGR layer, from my database. I can do it with a raw request to mapserver by including the SLD= tag, and a path to my php scrip which returns the SLD document. However, when I include the SLD in the metadata for the layer, it seems as if the variable is not passed into the SLD script from the CGI forms. The source for the layer is an OGR/VRT being served as a WMS.

My layer is set up as follows:

  LAYER
    NAME "CABINPoints"
    GROUP "Sample Points"
    STATUS ON
    TYPE RASTER
    TOLERANCE 5
    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS
    TEMPLATE "tt.html"

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] swig mapscript: your opinion on changing
layerObj::getShape() for version 4.4


Hello mapscripters,

For some time, an alternative API has been available to to those who build
their own SWIG mapscript modules.  I think it is time to make one feature of
the experimental API permanent.

In the experimental API getShape returns a shapeObj and takes shapeindex and
tileindex as arguments.

     shapeObj getShape( int shapeindex [, int tileindex=-1 ] )

The usage for the case of tileindexed shapefiles is like this

     tileindexed_layer.open()
     shape = tileindexed_layer.getShape(shapeindex, tileindex)
     tileindexed_layer.close()

In the case of layers without tileindexing, the second argument can be
omitted because it defaults to -1

     layer.open()
     shape = layer.getShape(shapeindex)
     layer.close()

I'd like to get feedback on 2 facets of this proposal.  The way I see it

1) return value change from int to shapeObj

    requires update of scripts:    -1
    more like php mapscript:       +1
    prevents shape type conflicts: +1
    reduces need to create shapes: +1
    just plain better:             +1

2) reorder arguments

    less like php mapscript:                       -1
    for postgis layers avoids a useless argument:  +1
    for regular shapefiles avoids useless arg:     +1

Please see this bug for more details:

Subject: Once again: Truetype symbols
Message-ID: <TUE.21.SEP.2004.101354.0200.FRANK.BRONIEWSKIMNHA.ETAT.LU>

Hello List

I am trying to use some characters from esris ttf fonts for my map. But I
only get squares as symbols, not the expected Treesymbol. I even tried to
use the arial font, but even there I get only squares. Does anybody have a
clue what this is about? I tried changing fonts, renaming the fonts, tried
using the Ascii codes instead of typing the letter but nothing helped.
I did search the archives for such behavior, but the tips mentioned there
(moving the symbols to symbol file) did not help.

I run mapserver on Windows Xp Home with Sp2, Apache 2.0.50 and PHP 4.3.8
installed. Mapserver Version is 4.2.1, PHP Map Script info from phpinfo() is
$Revision: 1.194.2.4 $ $Date: 2004/07/07 19:37:19 $

I created a symbol definition file which contains my "symbol". Here is the
relevant part:
  SYMBOL
    NAME "Tree"
    TYPE TRUETYPE
    FONT forest2
    FILLED TRUE
    ANTIALIAS TRUE
    CHARACTER "j"
  END

In the fontlist I defined the font forest2:
forest2			c:\windows\fonts\esri_652.ttf

In the mapfile I call the symbol with the following lines of code:
   CLASS
     Name "Arbres isol?s"
     Template "dasistegal.html"
     Symbol "Tree"
     Color 255 0 0
     Size 50
   END

Message-ID: <TUE.21.SEP.2004.113821.0200.FRANSGEODAN.NL>

Hello,

I had not read the document Jim mentioned, but it nicely explains why,
for an ArcINFO grid, setting a path to a grid directory yields the same
results as setting a path to a file within that directory.

I had read this document:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RasterQuery
It explains that after MapServer 4.2 you should be able to perform
queries on rasters.

And a thread in this list about the subject:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0406/msg00600.html
,
where the question is asked whether the getFeatureInfo request will work
on raster layers.

I am wondering now if getFeatureInfo does not work on raster layers, or
if I have made a mistake in the map configuration. If anyone has
succeeded in querying a raster layer using getFeatureInfo,  it would be
nice to see the layer definition in the map file.

Greetings,

Frans

John -

All of the shapefiles indexed together in a TILEINDEX group need to have the same LOCATION field in the same position in all files.  I would expect any automated utility to produce the same fields in each output file, but could you be mixing different shapefile types in one index?  You can use dbfdump to look at the fields in the files that do work and compare them to the one that causes the error.

John,

The way tileindexes work is the you group a bunch of files into a
virtual layer. All the files must have the same dbf columns defined in
them and defined in the same order. This is because mapserver reads the
attribute layout of the first file it opens and uses that as the
template for all files in the virtual layer.

So if the first file had attribute columns [A, B, C] and some other file
had [D, E] or [B, C, A] or whatever it would cause problems for
mapserver. If you ask mapserver to CLASS on C, it translates that to
column 3 and then tries to read column 3 from the [D, E] and gets an
error, or gets column A from [B, C, A] file, etc. This was causing a lot
of problems for people that did not understand the inner workings of
mapserver, so this check was added to prevent people from doing bad
things and not knowing about it.

Some version of dbfdump will display the column definitions of you
files. You either have some that have a different definition like a
different version of the file, or you are picking up some files that are
not compatible with the first file you add to the index.

Hope this helps,
   -Steve W.

Subject: Dynamic SLD - variable passing problem

Not sure what the problem is. Quick suggestions/questions :
   - which version of mapserver are you using. This addition
(wms_sld_url) was done around Feb 2004 and is available in the latest
realses.

    - can you subtitute wms_sld_url with wms_sld_body (the value for
this metadata is the content of the sld document). Does this work ?

  If none of these work and the sld is valid, you could maybe send me a
sample of your data,sld,... and I could do some testing here.

Thank you for explaining. I thought 'post 4.2.' meant 'after 4.2.0'...
I will patiently wait for 4.3, then.

Frans,

Note that 4.3 is a "working version".  There won't necessarily be formal
releases till it is renamed 4.4 (stable).  You can use 4.3 any time from
CVS.  There may be some sort of interim source snapshots and binary builds
available somewhere too.

The best way to ensure the featurs work properly in the stable release
is to test them in 4.3.

For win32 my OpenEV_FW releases include a MapServer build that is 4.3 based.

Best regards,

I need help understanding how to make a qstring expression case

and I would like the user entered text to be matched case insensitive.
 Also, is there any way to specify the field to search (eg. [NAME])

Thanks Steve,

I have various layers of tiger/line data organized into one directory per
county and I've been trying to make one tileindex for the whole thing. Based
on what you're saying, do I need to run tile4ms separately on each different
type of layer, so that I end up with a tileindex for the counties, one for
the roads, one for the places, etc.?

John -

TILEINDEX is a way to combine multiple homogeneous data sets into a single data set.  All the data needs to be of the same type - for example, if you tried to group the counties and the roads into a single TILEINDEX layer, would that layer be TYPE POLYGON or TYPE LINE?  And you'd have no individual control over symbology among the different types.

TILEINDEX is useful for a single set of data that has been broken up into multiple files; all the individual files should be essentially identical, other than the fact that they represent subsets of the entire set differing only in the geographic area covered.

John,

The typical way wo do this is to create separate tileindexes for each
layer. So you would have a tileindex for roads, another for water lines
and one for water polygons, etc. For tiger data this would me you would
create approximately 10+- tileindexes. Then in the mapfile specify the
TILEINDEX and leave the DATA statement out.

I would recommend doing the above ... but for those that like to inflict
pain on themselves ...

There is an option on tile4ms like --directory-only that leaves off the
final file name, it unfortunately does not combine the multiple
directory entries into a single entry which renders it useless, unless
you want to write a script to do that your self. Assuming you wrote the
script yourself, you could then have ONE tileindex that would reference
the extents of the county regardless of the data layers in it, and you
could then set up your mapfile layers like:

LAYER
   NAME "streets"
   TILEINDEX "my-county-tiles"
   DATA "roads"
   ...
END

This would cause path in the TILEINDEX to be concatenated with the DATA
name to get the path to the data files. In this configuration only the
<tile-path>/roads.shp will be looked at.

I think I would recommend using the multiple indexes as it will be
easier to build and maintain.

Yet again, thank you.

I'll do multiple tileindexes. Then when I use shptree I assume I run it once
for each of the different tileindex shp files, or is there a way to
incorporate the larger-than-county layers into the spatial index?

John,

You should run shptree on all you tileindexes AND on all your data file.
I typically do something like the following on linux:

find /path/to/data -name "*.shp" -exec shptree {} \;

which will find all *.shp file in the directory tree /path/to/data and
run shptree on them.

The patch has been accepted with some very small modification for both
CVS HEAD (4.3) and branch-4-2.  Thanks to Umberto, building Java
mapscript
on Unix/Linux is as simple as

    cd mapserver
    ./configure ...
    make
    cd mapscript/java
    make

I think that the major thing lacking in Java mapscript now is a bridge
between the MapServer error stack and Java exceptions.  I'm not a Java
user and can't justify the time to lead on this, but am happy to help
as much as I can.  Looking at the Python exception mechanism in
mapscript/python/pymodule.i and carefully reading the SWIG docs would
be the place for someone to start.

cheers,
Sean

First of all, Mapserver can read shapefiles,
coverages, ArcSDE layers and GRIDs so you can use
ArcMap/ArcInfo to create your data and mapserver to
serve it without any file conversions.

Mapserver can also be used to create a Web Mapping
Service (WMS) server. There are extensive docs to help
you accomplish that...

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

On the ESRI side, the "Interoperability Extension"
allows you to integrate WMS into ArcMap 8.3. We have
been evaluating this approach at Humboldt State
University and, aside from some annoying glitches in
ESRI's client interface, it works quite well.

WMS is just raster data (images) so ArcSDE would be a
more comprehensive approach for vector data if you
have it.

Adam,

MapServer convention is that all object attributes have squished
together lowercase names.  "labelitem", "classitem", etc.  Really,
"outputformat" is an unfortunate name for this attribute -- the
only other mapscript object attribute which is an instance of
outputFormatObj is image.format and it would've been great if
these agreed.

Hi,

Is there a way to modify/create the "JOIN" object of a layer with php
mapscript?

I need to join the spatial data with a table resulting from an sql query.
The problem is that the name of the table changes depending upon the
query. I see no references to join databases in the php mapscript class
reference guide. Do I HAVE to create a new mapfile everytime I need to
join the data to a different table? Or is there an easier workaround to
this?

I would really appreciate any help I can get on this.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can use shape files in both system. ArcGis projects should be
translated to mapserver map files. As far as I know Geobases are
not supported in mapserver.
Use ArcGIS to update, analyse data and
use mapserver to publish data.

That is already on my checklist (after docs about running mapserver on

There is no buffer creating function in Mapserver (as I know) but you may imitate it by drawing line with defined thickness, e.g.:

LAYER
  ...some definitions...
  SIZEUNITS meters
  CLASS
    SYMBOL "circle"
    SIZE 100 # 100m buffer radius
    COLOR 255 0 0
  END

Ace,

Note: This is only one way of doing it.
If your using mapscript then you have control over what is drawn when.
You can select the records from mysql that match a score of 1 and then
use mapscript to loop through each result and change the layer class
expression to include the city name(s) dynamically. This assumes that
your mysql table has the score & the city name as fields and your dbf
has the exact same city name as a field.

Hi all,

I have just installed GDAL 1.2.2 with MapServer 4.2.3 and I get the following error: 

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named '@_ctr_icb'.
Warning: [MapServer Error]: IReadBlock failed at X offset 0, Y offset 0: GDALRasterIO() failed: drawGDAL()

this is a simple raster layer:

and with gdalinfo (1.2.2 version) I obtain the following information on the tif image:

--with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-httpd=/sslwww/bin/httpd

the old compiled version with gdal 1.1.9 worked well. I have also tryed the 1.2.1 gdal version with the same result.

Thanks in advance.

Stefano,

According to the above, the entire file is being treated as one big tile
which may be quite in-efficient and memory hungry.  But I don't think that
is your problem.   Perhaps you could place the file somewhere for me to
inspect?

I would also note that the libtiff support in GDAL 1.2.2 has been discovered
to have been incorrectly configured on Unix and will not include a number
of important compression types.  (fax, packbits, deflate and LZW are missing
I think).

Best regards,

Frank,

did you try something like this in your map file:

   CLASS
     Name "Arbres isol=E9s"
     Template "dasistegal.html"
    STYLE
      Symbol "Tree"
      Color 255 0 0
      Size 50
    END
   END

I think STYLE is mandatory for Mapserver 4.x

You can accomplish this task using postgis.
It could be something like:

data="select desired_buffer from(select buffer(the_geom,2) as
desired_buffer,oid from the_table) using srid=1 using unique oid"

Hope that helps,

Subject: Tiled JPEG-2000 layer
Message-ID: <WED.22.SEP.2004.114352.0700.CHODGSONREFRACTIONS.NET>

I'm trying to setup mapserver to show a tiled set of jpeg-2000 images. I
created the images from tif/wld file pairs using commands like this:

gdal_translate -of JPEG2000 -co "rate=0.1" 92g021_1_alb.tif
92g021_1_alb.jp2

The original files were around 180MB each and they compress to %10 of te
original size (as per the specified rate). Then I try to build a tile
index for mapserver using:

gdaltindex jp2_tiles *.jp2

and the resulting jp2_tiles.shp file is corrupt in some way - crashes
ArcMap9 and causes JUMP to throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException. It does
open in Arcview3, however. I'm not sure if this was a problem for
mapserver, but just to make sure I built the tileindex on the tiff files
and then did a search/replace in the dbf file (ie. s/\.tif/.dbf/g ).

When I try to look at the layer, even when zoomed in to just a single
tile, the mapserver process sucks up 2Gigs of memory and 100% cpu for
several minutes before it finally returns the resulting image - and
sometimes it doesn't display an image at all (perhaps it times out?).

My layer definition looks like this:

  LAYER
    NAME "orthophoto_jp2"
    METADATA
      "wms_title" "orthophoto_jp2"
    END
    STATUS ON
    TILEINDEX "jp2_tiles.shp"
    TILEITEM "Location"
    TYPE RASTER
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:42102"
    END
  END

I'm not reprojecting the data, I'm asking for it in the same epsg it is
declared to be in.
I'm using a very recently downloaded and compiled:

- MapServer version 4.2.3 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE
- GDAL 1.2.1.0, released 2004/06/23
- ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/gdal/jasper-1.701.0.uuid.tar.gz

One more detail, my original tif files have had several overview layers
added using gdaladdo - I don't think that should affect anything but who
knows.

Am I doing something wrong here, or is there a know problem with this
setup? I don't expect that a dual-3GHz CPU/2GB memory machine should
take so long and so much memory to open a shapefile, locate the correct
jp2 file(s) and open and render them...

Chris -

As Frank Warmerdam has pointed out on the GDAL list, the Jasper library is not very suitable for use in production applications, as it completely decompresses each image into memory during processing.  I have not heard any changes in the status of this implementation, and I'd suggest looking to the Kakadu library for production usage and performance.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Tiled JPEG-2000 layer

I'm trying to setup mapserver to show a tiled set of jpeg-2000 images. I created the images from tif/wld file pairs using commands like this:

gdal_translate -of JPEG2000 -co "rate=0.1" 92g021_1_alb.tif
92g021_1_alb.jp2

The original files were around 180MB each and they compress to %10 of te original size (as per the specified rate). Then I try to build a tile index for mapserver using:

gdaltindex jp2_tiles *.jp2

and the resulting jp2_tiles.shp file is corrupt in some way - crashes
ArcMap9 and causes JUMP to throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException. It does open in Arcview3, however. I'm not sure if this was a problem for mapserver, but just to make sure I built the tileindex on the tiff files and then did a search/replace in the dbf file (ie. s/\.tif/.dbf/g ).

When I try to look at the layer, even when zoomed in to just a single tile, the mapserver process sucks up 2Gigs of memory and 100% cpu for several minutes before it finally returns the resulting image - and sometimes it doesn't display an image at all (perhaps it times out?).

My layer definition looks like this:

  LAYER
    NAME "orthophoto_jp2"
    METADATA
      "wms_title" "orthophoto_jp2"
    END
    STATUS ON
    TILEINDEX "jp2_tiles.shp"
    TILEITEM "Location"
    TYPE RASTER
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:42102"
    END
  END

I'm not reprojecting the data, I'm asking for it in the same epsg it is declared to be in.
I'm using a very recently downloaded and compiled:

- MapServer version 4.2.3 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE
- GDAL 1.2.1.0, released 2004/06/23
- ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/gdal/jasper-1.701.0.uuid.tar.gz

One more detail, my original tif files have had several overview layers added using gdaladdo - I don't think that should affect anything but who knows.

Am I doing something wrong here, or is there a know problem with this setup? I don't expect that a dual-3GHz CPU/2GB memory machine should take so long and so much memory to open a shapefile, locate the correct
jp2 file(s) and open and render them...

Chris,

I hope you mean you changed ".tif" to ".jp2".  There are two issues here.
One is that gdaltindex produced a shapfile that is corrupt in some fashion.
I would like to investigate that.  Could you submit a GDAL bugzilla entry
including the index files that are causing the problems?  Also, if you can
easily determine why jump considers them corrupt that would be good to know
too.

As Ed mentioned, the JasPer driver is inappropriate to use for such large
chunks of imagery.  In my experience the JasPer implementation actually
uses alot more RAM than the decompressed image while working.  In addition
to Kakadu, you could also look at using the ECW 3.0 SDK (if on Windows) or
the MrSID SDK, if you happen to have that, for JPEG2000.  There are *too
many* options!

If you can split your tiles into much smaller chunks (say - 5MB uncompressed)
then the JasPer implementation might be fine.

Hi,

You can use symbol fonts only, (as far as i know) so esri symbols are ok
but arial, times, etc. not.
In the symbol definition you must add 61440 to the code of the character.

SYMBOL
        NAME 'example'
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        FONT your_symbol_font
        CHARACTER "&#61481"     # for code 41
END

Bye

Subject: MySQL or Oracle queries...
Message-ID: <WED.22.SEP.2004.161452.0400.WEBUMICH.EDU>

I am new to MapServer so please bear with me...

The main MapServer home page makes reference to a feature
of MapServer that would allow queries to a database like
MySQL or Oracle no doubt through Perl's DBI module.

My interest is not obtaining points to plot from a table
in a database, but rather tabular or scalar information
about a map feature (height of a building, address of a
store, etc.) that might be selected by a MapServer user.

I am no where near being able to attempt this at my level
of MapServer knowledge today, but if it is possible to do
this, could someone point me to a chunk of documentation
or a WWW page for more information?

I assume that something like this would need to be done
using MapScript (Perl?) if at all.

Regards,

web...

Subject: Scale dependent layers ignoring status property?
Message-ID: <WED.22.SEP.2004.144539.0600.KENSANDNARROWS.COM>

In my mapfile I have two layers that don't show up till after the users
zoom in a bit, ie I have set a maxscale and minscale. I am using the
HTML legend with the opt_flag of 14, so that the layers don't list in
the legend until they are within the appropriate scale range. Both
layers have a status of 'ON' in the map file.

The problem I am having is that when you move into the appropriate scale
range the layer shows up with the status of 'OFF'. If I set the opt_flag
to 15 so that the layer is always visible in the legend, then it will
have the appropraite status of 'ON' and when you move into appropriate
scale range the data will display on the map.

I want to use opt_flag 14 as I don't want the layer in the legend until
its also visible on the map, but I also want it to listen to the status
property in the MAP file, which in this case is 'ON'. I also tried
setting it to 'DEFAULT', no difference still starts out as off (template
file does handle the default status).

Thoughts or suggestions?

Ken

I've used the openDWG libraries along with OGR to read from AutoCAD dwg's
and write Mapinfo tables and ESRI shapefiles for use with Mapserver. I have
a once weekly batch that pulls all the design out of 1,400 drawings and puts
it into 14 or 15 shapefiles and Mapinfo tables. The application is
proprietary to the company I work for but if you have a specific question
about using the open DWG stuff I can probably answer it (as long as it's the
C++ libs, I have no idea about their VB stuff). I use their multi-threaded
static libs for what I do.

David,

I have not done any work with the OpenDWG libraries since then.  The
project I was referring to did not materialize.

Hi list,

Today, I'm in front of a particular problem. For a customer, I need to
render oraclespatial data.
In the database, I have shapes with a '2007' SDO_GTYPE, that says
multipolygons. Hopelessly, in the SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY, including the
polygons (2003), some points (1003) can be found. Curious for a
multipolygon, and you might want to say that it'd better be a Collection
(2004) ! But I can't modify data.

The problem is that if define my layer with an oraclespatial
connectiontype, the layer is rendered. On the other hand, with an
OGR/OCI connectiontype, mapserver crashes.

Any idea ?

Hi Giraud,
    The mapserver using the native support to oraclespatial don't
support 2007 yet.
    It's a problem and now I coding new functions to maporaclespatial.
    I don't know if exist any problem with OGR.

I'm not sure that this has been officially documented (someone please
correct me) although we use it on all our apps.
The item we found most useful is to have a field in the mysql table that
contains the shapeindex of the matching shape (just a sequential
number). That is not the only way to relate the data as you can also
relate the shapeindex to the dbf record and then relate one of the dbf
field values to the mysql table to pull further information.
There is certainly more than one way to approach this being there is
more than one interface to mapscript, however I include a perl snippet here.
Note: This may not be a 4.2 compliant example.

Could you make a Oracle view of the data and present it as two different

I'm new to Oracle, that's probably why that wasn't clear for me. '1003'
gtype is not for a point but for polygons too.
Actually, the '2007' multipolygons with '1003' elements are polygons
with holes. I'm sorry for this obvious mistake.

Althouh, I do have the problem that OGR connection crashes,
oraclespatial connection not on those type of geometry.

Hi

I have a problem with MapServer. I?ve installed
Mapserver 4.2 and the example to verify the
installation. Everything is ok, MapServer runs and the

with my own shape files, the example shows a blank

Pablo, 

It is hard to diagnose the problem without seeing the text of your map file.  The more information that you provide, the easier it is for people on the list to help you out.  

My guess is that you added your own data, but didn't adjust the EXTENT in your Map file to match the extent of your data.

Pierre,

I'm not readily able to work on Oracle support just now.  My NT partition
with Oracle has become inaccessable due to an unfortunate "install" problem.

My understanding from the code is that multipolygons should work in OGRs
Oracle driver, but I am not sure how well tested it is.   Does ogrinfo
also crash against the layer in question?  If so, I would suggest you
submit a detailed bug including a snippet of SQL sufficient to create
a one record table that will demonstrate the problem.

That way I can fix it at some point when I have access to Oracle again.

Best regards,

I'm not sure, but I think you might run into an issue with MapServer if you
are mixing geometry types.  I haven't tested this myself, but MapServer can
support only one geometry type for each layer.  With that said I have heard
that MapServer can support polys and lines in a single layer but most likely
points would not work.  

Hope this helps.

I'm new to Oracle, that's probably why that wasn't clear for me. '1003'
gtype is not for a point but for polygons too.
Actually, the '2007' multipolygons with '1003' elements are polygons
with holes. I'm sorry for this obvious mistake.

Althouh, I do have the problem that OGR connection crashes,
oraclespatial connection not on those type of geometry.

Hi list!



I need some ideas about how to change the projection dynamically while
zooming.  Since my representation is very large, I need to display it in
Lambert projection.  But when I zoom in the map, I want to change the
projection dynamically to UTM depending of the position in the map (my map
covers 14 UTM zones).



I currently use Mapserver CGI with a DHTML interface but I'm open to any
suggestion!



Thanks.

I don't think this is possible directly. Part of the problem is the a
shapefile is actually at least 3 files file.dbf, file.shp, file.shx.
That said it should be possible to do a query and get a list of the
objects being displayed from a given layer and copy them using mapscript
into a new shapefile on disk and maybe even zip ot tar them into a
single file the gets returned to the user.

If you have multiple layers you would have to extract a separate
shapefile for each layer as their type and attributes might not be
suitable for combining.

Also you will have to decide how you want to handle for example a line
the crosses the view boundary. Do you want to clip the line(polygon?) at
the view boundary or return the whole object.

Hope this helps.

I am new to mapserv. I am trying to set-up a map file for roads. I have
a field in my road shape file that has a number from 1 to 6. 6 is the
interstate, 5 are the major roads and it goes down to 1 that are private
sub division roads. I want to set-up one layer with 6 classes, one for
each class of roads. Then at different scales I want to set different
classes of roads to display and to show its name. Seams to me there
should be a way to set the color, the maximum and minimum scale that
each class of roads line shows and a separate setting to set the scale
of its label. Can anyone give me an example MAP file for doing this? 

 

The object of this is so that when I look at the full map all I see are
the interstates and as I zoom in I see more roads and more labels till I
get down to the point I see all roads and labels.

 

Thanks

As an example, the mapserver users map (located at:

exactly what I would like to accomplish, although in a different context.

Any help would be very appreciated, I've looked through the wiki without

Is there a way to do this with SWIG mapscript.  The layerObj method takes

Subject: shptree not faster than no index
Message-ID: <THU.23.SEP.2004.170200.0400.JBNUCOMP.COM>

Hi all,

I'm noticing there doesn't seem to be any difference in speed between having
*.qix files vs. not having them. I'm wondering if I'm doing this right.

My data is from tiger and is in shapefiles. I'm only dealing with county
outlines right now. They are each in a separate folder, each state's
counties are in one state folder. There's a tileindex on them all at the
root of the tree.

I'm displaying a simple map using .../cgi-bin/mapserv?map=demo.map&mode=map.
It's extent is set to show about 4 states of the country, showing all county
outlines. It comes up pretty fast, so I run the page 5 times in a row and
time that with no *.qix files, then build them (on each county file and on
the tileindex) and repeat the test. As near as I can tell the results are
identical.

When I used a larger extent and displayed the whole country of county lines
and did everything else the same I similarly got the same timing either way.

I created the tileindex first and then did shptree afterwards. Does the
sequence make a difference?

I've tried running shptree in all these forms with no change from the
directory where the tileindex is:
find . -name "*.shp" -exec shptree {} \;
find . -name "*.shp" -exec shptree {} 4 \;
find . -name "*.shp" -exec shptree {} 6 \;
find . -name "*.shp" -exec shptree {} 10 \;

Thanks for any hints.

Thanks for the update.  I can't think of a reason for cloning a layer other
than inserting into a map, so it may not be needed.  Don't know.

Message-ID: <THU.23.SEP.2004.163612.0500.DAVID.FAWCETTSTATE.MN.US>

Is it possible to group several vector layers in a WFS server so a WFS
client can call them as one layer (TYPENAME)?

In other words, can you have a mapfile for a WFS client where you pull
many vector layers from local shapefile sources.  Then using GROUP or
some other method call this group of layers through one WFS request from
a MapServer WFS client?

I would like to accomplish this in the server mapfile if possible.  I
am using v4.2.1


As an aside, I saw an older post that pointed out that you can't do a
GETFEATURE request that contains multiple TYPENAMEs (layers).  I also
tried this based on OGC documentation and verified that it is not
possible.

e.g. REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=layera,layerb

  I am new to mapserv. I am trying to set-up a map file for roads. I have a
field in my road shape file that has a number from 1 to 6. 6 is the
interstate, 5 are the major roads and it goes down to 1 that are private sub
division roads. I want to set-up one layer with 6 classes, one for each
class of roads. Then at different scales I want to set different classes of
roads to display and to show its name. Seams to me there should be a way to
set the color, the maximum and minimum scale that each class of roads line
shows and a separate setting to set the scale of its label. Can anyone give
me an example MAP file for doing this?



  The object of this is so that when I look at the full map all I see are
the interstates and as I zoom in I see more roads and more labels till I get
down to the point I see all roads and labels.

Subject: TIFF Reading Problems  / libpdf / multiple copies of libtiff.
Message-ID: <THU.23.SEP.2004.180755.0400.WARMERDAMPOBOX.COM>

Folks,

A few days ago the First Base Solutions guys mentioned some problems
serving WMS layers from GeoTIFF via MapServer.  Since they are just 10 minutes
drive away, I went over and figured out what was going wrong.  It turns out
the problem was that libpdf.a include a whole copy of a slightly outdated
copy of libtiff.

The result was that some TIFF functions ended up coming from the GDAL TIFF
code, and others came from the libpdf.a.  But, since they used different
versions of the TIFF structures things ended up crashing.

So the lesson is, be very wary of getting multiple versions of sub-libraries
(like libtiff, libpng, libgif, libz) linked into your Mapserver application.
I was quite surprised to discover that libpdf included a copy of libtiff
code!  And these sorts of problems are just devilishly hard to debug.

Best regards,

John,

The impression I get is that you have exactly one county polygon per shapefile.
Is that right?  A .qix won't help because it is used to more quickly select
the subset of shapes in a shapefile based on the extents.  If you only have
one shape per file then it can't help.

Of course, the tileindex should allow you to quickly select the county
files you want.  But a more efficient approach would likely be to have one
shapefile with a .qix with all your county outlines in it.

Best regards,

Right, I think Frank said it pretty well. You should see a huge

Thank you for your quick response.

In terms of the county outlines, do you think that one county per file, and
selecting which files to use with only a tileindex would be faster than all
counties being in one huge file of over 3000 counties and selecting which
counties to draw using a qix index?

Also, does the qix index on the actual tileindex do anything to speed up the
tileindex?

Thanks,
John

I'd go with the one file of all counties. It's just easier to maintain one
file than 3,000. I have at least 50 layers in one of my maps that each layer
can have 300,000 to 1,000,000 plus objects in it. Using the shptree to
create a .qix file makes these layers incredibly fast. I mean fast as in,
you click on the map to zoom or pan, and as fast as your browser can render
the map has been updated to reflect that pan or zoom. I think my smallest
layer has 1,400 hundred polygons in it. Using the shptree and having one
file is way easier than maintaining a single file for each boundary. I
honestly don't think the map I'm using could be any faster, it is the
browser/desktop rendering speed for me that limits how fast the image
changes, so that's really, really fast. Plus if you have 3,000 files and are
zoomed to an extent where you can see half of them or more that's 1,500 or
more open and read operations that Mapserver has to execute vice one if you
put them all in the same file. My two cents anyway.

Okay I have a map of Phoenix with the following extents..

using projection... NAD83 / Arizona Central (ft)

The map renders fine that isn't the problem but I want to know what it takes
to get a point on the map using GPS coordinates.. (e.g. 33:32:33N 112:04:17W)
I have searched for the answer for a while now and the only thing I find is
saying to make a new layer and feature with different projection settings...

...
"init=/usr/local/share/proj/epsg:2020"

FEATURE

This is not working.  Help please...

John,

I think having them in one file would be more efficient.  3000 features
isn't a particularly large dataset, though I suppose if the county outlines
are very detailed it might get fairly large.

Yes, a .qix file on a tileindex will help if there are many entries in the
tileindex.

John -

The only piece of advice I can find to add to the excellent advice you've received is a reminder of the value of indexes.  An index helps you quickly locate the small subset of a larger dataset that is required for rendering a specific map request.  It does not speed up drawing; it simply helps you more quickly discard those objects that don't need to be drawn at all.

If your test case is a map of the entire United States, you need to draw all the counties and therefore there is no benefit in quickly calculating which ones you need to draw - they are all drawn.  If you zoom in on a very small area, you will be able to very quickly identify the two or three county polygons - the only two or three polygons that can possibly intersect the map rectangle you're drawing.

John,

I think having them in one file would be more efficient.  3000 features isn't a particularly large dataset, though I suppose if the county outlines are very detailed it might get fairly large.

Yes, a .qix file on a tileindex will help if there are many entries in the tileindex.

I just built an SQL statement that includes 8 multipolygon shapes (with
many different cases). 4 of them crash ogrinfo and OCI/OGR connection
for mapserver but not oraclespatial connection.
Defaultly, I might want to report a bug in OGR remotesensing bugzilla

You need to state a projection for the resulting map, in the top of the
mapfile, and a projection for each layer, or at leas for each layer that
differs from the map one.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try it this way on the counties. However, when I
start working with the other files, like roads, water and places, I'm
dealing with files that are currently broken down by county and each one may
have anywhere from 3,000 - 30,000 items per file. So that multiplied by
3,000 or so counties comes to 9 - 90 million items if I combined each record
type into one big file each. Would you still suggest combining them in these
cases, or do you think that gets too large?

If you browse the user list archives, you'll find a lot of information about
the map file.  In addition, you can use this little extension for ArcView
3.x to create an automatic mapfile from the view...

John,

I have tiger data running under mapserver
   http://imaptools.com/tiger/
I have about 18-19 GB of data for these maps.

I just leave the data the way it is translated to shapefiles and build
tileindexes and shptree indexes on the everything and it works great! I
wouldn't spend extra time trying to merge data into a single layer
shapefiles.

In your test you found the it was fast and it didn't make a lot of
difference. Unless you are trying to squeeze every ounce of performance
you can out of the setup then you would have to do a bunch of
experimentation to find out what makes it fast or not.

Exactly.  You need a projection block in your map section and another
projection block in your layer section.  The PROJECTION block of the map
section is for reprojection on-the-fly feature of Mapserver.  This means you
can choose in which projection you want to display your date in this
section.  The PROJECTION block of the layer is the current projection of
your data (you must know the current projection of your data and specify it
there).  

If you specify that your units are in meters, that means you must specify a
projection (not latlong).  The most usual projection for units in meters is
UTM.  Here is a sample PROJECTION block for UTM:

        PROJECTION
        "proj=utm"
        "ellps=GRS80"
        "zone=15"
        "north"
        "no_defs"
      END

Parameters of the PROJECTION block are simply proj4 parameters.  I recommend
you take a look at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/coordinates.html and
http://www.remotesensing.org/proj/

Hope this will help!

Hi

This is my map file:

I think that the problem is with the extent or the

The problem is the open DWG libraries are not open source and have pretty
restrictive licensing agreements to using them, especially if you are
putting them into a commercial product.

So far they are also the only ones to have broken the 2004 dwg's encryption.
AutoDesk officially says it's not encryption but under an NDA with the open
Design Alliance I've seen the algorithm and it's very definitely an
encrypted format.

There are roughly four formats of dwg out there and they are not compatible
with each other. Dwg release 12, Dwg release 14, Dwg release 2000, Dwg
release 2004. They are all different, it was AutoDesk's attempt at making
sure competitors had a rough time using their format. They have also said
they will change the format again some time in the future.

The 2004 format is the only one of the bunch that is encrypted. The Open
Design Alliance skirts all the legal battles by doing all their reverse
engineering in Russia. So it's definitely not a little thing to try and put
Dwg into OGR. You can be almost certain that if we were to do it AutoDesk
would issue a legal challenge. Most likely under the DMCA whoever reverse
engineers the format would win but you'd still end up in court settling the
dispute and AutoDesk has deep pockets.

That in a nutshell is why more people don't have dwg compatibility in their
libraries and applications.

Andy,

I would definately want to work from the OpenDWG libraries for exactly the
reasons of complexity that you have noted.  DWG implemented in OGR would
be an optional format, and it would be up to the end user (or whoever is
building the application for distribution) to license the OpenDWG libraries
and build it in themselves.  The OpenDWG licensing fees for "in house" use
are pretty reasonable as I recall.

However, this would still fall a long ways from being an open source solution
to the problem.  It could however be quite a useful solution for some users
of MapServer that want to work with Autocad maps.

I don't personally relish the thought of trying to duplicate the work the
OpenDWG alliance has already done.

Best regards,

Is there a limit to the number of dynamic layers that

Hi all,

Thanks to all of you who have helped me so far.

I'm attempting to reproduce the projection used by the Census Bureau in
their Tiger map browser. It's a sinusoidal projection, but it appears to be
centered at the center of the rendered map each time rather than having one
origin. If I set my projection to sinu and manually set lon_0 to the same as
the map center it looks right, but I want lon_0 to automatically follow the
map center.

Is there any value I can pass in the url to set the lon_0 each time? I've
tried &map_projection_lon_0= and it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

You have to specify the complete projection string as part of the URL:

&map_projection=proj=sinu,lon_0=...

Thanx for the precise information. Seems like there are two possible
solutions in the long run.

We have to convince people to not fall into the closed format trap. Then
help them migrate to open formats.

Or integrate closed source better with OGR and not know how long DWG
will take to be changed again.

In the end it is up to the end user. If he will finance the coding, it
will be done. We know of a few, anybody else want to join? Please
contact me on or offline so that we cann discuss details.

Regards, Arnulf.

do you use WMS? If you do you can use the Mapbender framework to do all
kinds a strange things. Check out
http://www.mapbender.org
there is a link to the "interoperability testbed". It contains a
selection box for reprojecting. This change could also be done
automatically when going below a certain scale threshold. MB is
implemented in PHP and JavaScript.
Notice that the Demis server only serves 4326 while the overlay UMN
MapServer can reproject the 4326 symbols (ms users in Germany) to any
srs listed in PROJ4 (only a few in the select box).

Best regards,
Arnulf.

John -

No, that is a different situation.  Your original scenario described 3,000 files, each of which had one polygon; having one file per object is clearly not a good idea.  Having one file per 3,000 - 30,000 objects is just fine.  It is also good to think about updating your data set; if you're going to need to do updates, you might want to minimize the amount of data conversion you need to do each time you update the data set.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try it this way on the counties. However, when I start working with the other files, like roads, water and places, I'm dealing with files that are currently broken down by county and each one may have anywhere from 3,000 - 30,000 items per file. So that multiplied by 3,000 or so counties comes to 9 - 90 million items if I combined each record type into one big file each. Would you still suggest combining them in these cases, or do you think that gets too large?

Dear List,

I am running MapServer 4.2.3 at least with WMS_client capabilities.
I try to capture one layer "laender" out from www.geoway.de.
The whole bundle of layers can be seen here:
http://www.geoway.de/cgi-bin/mapserv3.cgi?MAP=/home/geoway/geoway.map&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetMap&&SRS=EPSG:32632&BBOX=280450,5236000,921400,6102500

The geoway MapServer seams to produce images which are stored in my
directory:
/srv/www/htdocs/tmp/

Unfortunally the suffix of the files which are stored in my directory
and which my MapServer is trying to display are looking strange:
*.img.tmp

Does anybody know if  I configured something wrong?
(My Mapfile in the following)

best regards and
many thanx beforehand

Hi list,

I'm having a problem with long queries using PostGIS.
It seems that the "data" field of a layer has a limitation of XXX characters.
Does anybody knows why and how can I increase that?

Hi,
the capabilties request
http://192.168.23.151/mapserv.cgi?map=/home/geoway/geoway.map&WMTVER=1.0.0&REQUEST=capabilities
does not return anything but a "timed out..."

Maybe the server you try to access is just not available.

Cheers, Arnulf.

Subject: Reference maps
Message-ID: <FRI.24.SEP.2004.130252.0500.BOB.BASQUESCI.STPAUL.MN.US>

All,

Can the reference map image be a dynamically generated image from MapServer?

I'm doing some ItemQueries, and would like the refence map to start at
the same level of view as the itemquery does.  So that any ItemQuery
would need to retrieve a new Reference map.

The MAPFILE components don't seem to lend themselves to the idea of
making the refence map dynamically.  I suppose a imagemap template would
work just as well. and then I could just display two images in the browser.

Maybe that's the answer, a dynamic refence map is just another map
call.  Although I would need to somehow draw the query box on top of the
image returned.   I could use a completely transparent image as the
refence map in the MAPFILE and lay that over the top of the dynamically
generated image via HTML.

Am I over thinking this?

All,

What about this:

An option for syncing the Refence Map to the current View.  Some added
parameter that would build a new images that is synced wioth the current
view extents.

This would lend it self to programmetric solutions as well.  Even to
have the refence map change based on MIN/MAX-extent vaules.


Any ideas anyone?

If you integrate some form of mapscript I don't see why you couldn't
change the referenceMapObj->{image} on the fly.

I can write out the image easy enough from perl, but the reference
imagemap capababilities would need to be generated seperately.  I was
just wondering about the possibilities from the standard CGI calls.  I
wondered about putting a URL in for the image designation for instance,
if that worked, then I could pass in a new reference map config via the
URL complete with new extents.

It might be easier in the end though, to just make it a seperate image
call to MapServer and handle the reference (non-mapserver) maps via PERL
directly.

Subject: PHP Mapscript module and RegEx
Message-ID: <FRI.24.SEP.2004.160536.0600.ABESTDIGITALFLEX.NET>

Hello,

I'm looking into fixing the problem with PHP4s Bundled RegEx and Mapscript.

I've hacked the source to compile with mapserver using the system regex,
while php is still using the builtin regex. The linking seems to be
correct, however I'm uncertain that this is the correct path to fixing this.

Is anyone else working on this?

What is the real problem that requires mapscript to use php's bundled regex?

Is there still a problem with thread-safety?

I'm also getting the impression that mapscript is incorrectly using the
php4 API. Is this true?

I'm willing to put the time and effort into fixing this issue (as well
as other issues).

Message-ID: <FRI.24.SEP.2004.171221.0700.JKIMSCIENCES.SDSU.EDU>

Hi,

I just installed PHPMapScript and tried running a simple PHP script with a
test map, and the resulting html says, "use of undefined constant MS_PNG".
Where should this have been defined? (I had a similar problem when I tried
the GMap demo, except it said MS_GIF was undefined.)

Here's my PHP code:
  dl("php_mapscript_42.dll");
  $map = ms_newMapObj("test.map");
  print $map->numlayers;    // this line prints 4
  $img = $map->draw();
  $url = $img->saveWebImage(MS_PNG, 0, 0, 0);

I'm using  Mapserver 4.2.3,  PHP 4.3.9,  PHP Mapscript 4.2,  and Apache 2.0
on Windows 2000. Did I not configure something right?

Thanks,

Arguments are no longer necessary for saveWebImage().  You can just do:

   $url = $img->saveWebImage();

Use an OUTPUTFORMAT block in your mapfile to define how the image should
be created.  Or you can just use the default values associated with
whatever IMAGETYPE you declare (e.g., IMAGETYPE PNG).  See
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html#outputformat
for more info.

All,

Can more than one image be built per MapServer request?  Other than a

I'm trying to build a thumbnail alongside of the result and reference
maps.  Can more than one TEMPLATE be used to generate different sizes of
images pre request?   I'm trying to run a single request through per

BTW, thanks for all the answers lately.  I know they are sort of off

Subject: Oracle Spatial Performance
Message-ID: <SAT.25.SEP.2004.170247.0500.BIGFOOTMAINTASK.COM>

Hello, List.

I don't know if this is an off-topic question but, I really need some help.
I've worked a lot with mapserver, specially with phpmapscript, and with
shape files and postgis data.
Finally, about 6 months ago, we received a request from a customer in
order to develop a web application that would be able to connect with
oracle data.
Well, after face all kinds of issues with oracle spatial, everything is
working fine now.  Except the speed.
Every map request to oracle spatial takes at least 20 seconds, with very
small geometries, and in some cases it takes 2 minutes or more.
I would like you to give me some clue, because I've worked with postgis
and shps and I've never had this kind of problems.
All the geometries are indexed.
The time responses are almost the same working with ORACLESPATIAL and
OGR connection.

For example:
The command:
ogrinfo OCI:xxx/xxx at xxx -sql "SELECT ID, ORA_GEOMETRY, NOMBRE FROM
SIG_DEPTOS"
Takes 1 minute.
The same geometry in shp:
ogrinfo -al departamentos.shp
Takes less than one second.

I know this is a very general question, but I don't know where I could
get some more information.

Any help will be very-very appreciated.


Thanks a lot,

Vladimir,

I can think of a couple of issues.

First, the connection overhead to Oracle tends to be pretty expensive.
In my work it was several seconds to a local Oracle instance.  When using
MapServer in "cgi" mode where a new process is forked and needs to connect
to Oracle for each map request the extra overhead can be quite devestating.
The presume solution to this is to keep the process resident, for instance
by using FastCGI and caching the oracle connection.  This is currently
not supported by MapServer, but I am working on FastCGI support again on
behalf of Refractions and so a solution may become available in the coming
months.

Second, by default OGR will collect schema information from all the
tables (or at least spatial tables) in your database. This can be very
expensive for a database with alot of tables.  However, this issue is
unique to OGR connections to Oracle, and should not occur with the more
direct Oracle support in MapServer.

Thank you very much for the reply.I have downloaded the demo as u said and have followd all the necessary steps.
When I clicked on intialise the page the opened did not show the following

   the map
   legend
   scale

But all other things showed up.I would like to know if there is something else that I should do to show up the above mentioned objects.

I think that image type is the problem.Hoping to hear from you.

It is also very important for performance reasons to increase the array size

You could see if it is an issue w/ Oracle by running a trace and see if it
has significant wait times.  Also if you have ArcSDE and ArcView you could
register the layer with ArcSDE, draw it in with ArcView and see if you still
have a performace issue.  You wouldn't suspect it was an issue with scale,
project or extent would you?
 
You could also test with a very small layer.  FDEP's experience with Oracle
and Mapserver is that performance is at least as good with Oracle Spatial as
it was with ArcSDE. 
 
Hope this helps, 
 
-Chris

Subject: USGS Urban133 Ortho Imagery via WMS
In-Reply-To: <200409041656.54122.tylermitchell@shaw.ca>
Message-ID: <SUN.26.SEP.2004.123221.0700.THOMASCHESKYYAHOO.COM>

Tyler,

I have 3 png files with different output projection (500Kb each, I am not sure if it's OK to post such big files on the list, confirm, and I will send them)

All are slightly reprojected (that is: something happening with the image when requesting other projection) but only 4326 produces correct overlays (the default and only USGS WMS projection).
layers: USGS ortho, parcel, FEMA hazards

I am testing via the cgi interface with the following parameters:

1.,
/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=/usr/local/mapapp/map.map&layers=SanFrancisco01%20Q3Flood%20san_mateo_cou_ca_apn&mapext=-122.226813776775+37.4764381661621+-122.213167520107+37.4835588561656&mapsize=600+400&map_projection=init%3Depsg:2227

2.,
/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=/usr/local/mapapp/map.map&layers=SanFrancisco01%20Q3Flood%20san_mateo_cou_ca_apn&mapext=-122.226813776775+37.4764381661621+-122.213167520107+37.4835588561656&mapsize=600+400&map_projection=init%3Depsg:4326

3.,
/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=/usr/local/mapapp/map.map&layers=SanFrancisco01%20Q3Flood%20san_mateo_cou_ca_apn&mapext=-122.226813776775+37.4764381661621+-122.213167520107+37.4835588561656&mapsize=600+400&map_projection=init%3Depsg:26910

I removed units and projection from the map file as you suggested

# UNITS DD
# PROJECTION
# "init=epsg:26910"
# END

Same problem. Is it possible that reprojection using epsg on raster layer causes the problem? I doubt, but everything else looks fine otherwise and the parcels are reprojected correctly, but the raster WMS layer is not.

Any idea?

Thanks

Really? Decimal Degrees (DD) for UTM Zone 10 projection that is in metres?

Ahmet,

I don't think I have been following your earlier email on this topic very
closely.  Are you using MapServer 4.3?  Raster query is not available in
earlier versions.  Do you have a template on your raster layer that you want
to be queriable?  This marks it as queriable even if you don't actually use
the template.  The filename listed in the TEMPLATE statement does not even
need to exist.

Also, you should review the RasterQuery topic in the Wiki at:

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RasterQuery

You might also want to look at the raster query test script.  It can be
found in msautotest/mspython/rqtest.py in MapServer CVS.  It may be a useful
example of what needs to be done from mapscript (python in that case).

If you have looked into all these issues, and you still can't get it to work,
let me know and provide a minimal example of your situation I can try and use
to look into the problem.

Subject: ARCIMS Emulator getProjection with ArcGIS9.0
Message-ID: <MON.27.SEP.2004.120453.1000.ROBIN.ELLISNRME.QLD.GOV.AU>

I've had the ArcIMS Emulator working just great for a few months now, however we've just upgraded our ESRI software to ArcGIS 9 and I've found that the request string being output from ArcGIS is slightly different between versions, causing an error to occur when processing 'com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap'. I've been able to implement a dodgy workaround to suit my specific needs, however it isn't a solution that will help other users. If someone can come up with a transferable solution I'd like to implement it.

It looks to me that the XML output from ArcGIS 8.3 used "EPSG" ID's for FEATURECOORDSYS and FILTERCOORDSYS, like this:

<FEATURECOORDSYS id="4283"/><FILTERCOORDSYS id="4283"/>

But ArcGIS 9.0 uses strings to define these, like this:

<FEATURECOORDSYS string="GEOGCS[&quot;GCS_GDA_1994&quot;,DATUM[&quot;D_GDA_1994&quot;,SPHEROID[&quot;GRS_1980&quot;,6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM[&quot;Greenwich&quot;,0.0],UNIT[&quot;Degree&quot;,0.0174532925199433]]"/>

The com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap file looked as though it would cater for this difference in XML, however I've found that the process falls over at this stage:

        my $l = new mapscript::layerObj($map);
        $l->setWKTProjection($filtcs_wkt);
        $envelope->project(new mapscript::projectionObj($l->getProjection()),new mapscript::projectionObj($map->getProjection()));

Now, wether this is because ESRI has messed up the projection definition string for this particular coordinate system or the getProjection syntax has changed (input and output) I'm not sure. In the mean time I've hard-coded in the appropriate EPSG ID for the coordinate system that we always use:

$envelope->project(new mapscript::projectionObj("init=epsg:4283"),new mapscript::projectionObj($map->getProjection()));

Effect for this particular instance, but not so good for other people.

If anybody can come up with a more robust solution I'd love to hear it. I'm not an expert in coordinate system definition, so if it looks like the problem is on ESRI's side please let me know and I'll try to iron bugs on that side of things.

Thanks

Rob

Robin,

Unfortunately the OGC WKT coordinate system specification was pretty
weak and there are a variety of variations.  I presume that the
layerObj->setWKTProjection() method is expecting something that is
compatible with the OGR WKT definition.  However, ESRI WKT is somewhat
different.  The key (deep down in OGR) is to import ESRI WKT and
then to call morphFromESRI() on the WKT to "normalize" the definition.

As far as I know this is not directly accessable from MapScript, but I
would suggest layerObj->setWKTProjection() be altered to do this morphing
internally if the WKT is prefixed with something like ESRI:::.  Then the
above mapscript could apply that.  In fact, we might want to change the
setWKTProjection() method to use the OGRSpatialReference::SetFromUserInput()
method which includes escapes for various formats, including ESRI morphing.

Of course, I could be a bit off target on what the real issue is.  I wouldn't
have expected any serious issues in a simple GEOGCS definition.

Best regards,

I have a Python solution that utilizes OGR and Python mapscript to emulate
ArcIMS 9.0.  It works correctly with ESRI WKT by transforming it to a proj4
string using OGR.  Contact my off list if you are interested in a copy

That is the problem. In the capabilities Online Resource you find the IP
number that doesn't work, so once the capabilites have been interpreted
correctly the client will query for the IP which does not work.

As a workaround you could save the XML as a local file, change the IP to
the above given URL, and try agin, maybe then it will work. The
capabilities should be corrected anyway.

Hi list!

I have a big problem. I need to add to my map file a
large amount of tiff images. More than 300. I know
that I can do it with tileindex. I have seen an
example in How To Raster.

I've tried to run gdal-1.1.9 but it show me this

I also have tried OpenEV but I can find the way to
make the shapefile tileindex.

Any idea?

I'm using Windows 2000

Thank you

Ike,

 

To get the Mapserver demo working, you must at least:

 

1-       Have a working installation of Apache with CGI support

2-       Have a working installation of Mapserver CGI

3-       Change variables of the Map file (SHAPEPATH, TEMPLATE and WEB block
particularly) according to your system

4-       Change variables of the HTML files according to your system

 

You can verify your Mapserver CGI installation by sending a test URL to your
server (see the doc from Mapserver web site).  I recommend you take a look
at this tutorial which will guide you through the installation and testing
process:

HYPERLINK
"http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/tutorial/"http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/
projects/tutorial/

 

Otherwise, you can use the DMSolutions Maplab product:

Thank you very much for the reply.I have downloaded the demo as u said and
have followd all the necessary steps.

When I clicked on intialise the page the opened did not show the following

*         the map

*         legend

*         scale

But all other things showed up.I would like to know if there is something
else that I should do to show up the above mentioned objects.

I think that image type is the problem.Hoping to hear from you.

Isaac

done as you said.

Steve,

Can you not create a page that :
1. Does your preprocessing with the database and creates your mapserver
cgi url.
2. Uses a third party product (e.g. w3sockets
http://www.dimac.net/Products/FreeProducts/w3Sockets/start.htm ) to call
the mapserver cgi-script and retrieve the resulting HTML which will
contain the newly created GIF's URL.
3. Pass this GIF URL onto the other HTML page.

Regards
Craig

Steve -

I'd suggest you look into the MapServer OGC WMS interface.  It's a simple, open standard that lets you request a specific map image through the use of URL querystring parameters.  Just generate the parameters you want, pass the URL to the output page and insert it as the SRC property of an <IMG> tag on that page.  Much of the MapServer "template" mechanism is provided to allow relatively sophisticated applications to be built WITHOUT the use of a server-side scripting environment.  Most users who get confused with ASP and MapServer do so because they try to continue using the MapServer "mode=browse" model (with template processing) rather than stepping around it with either a "mode=map" or WMS interface.

By asp you are reffering to "active server pages"?

I normaly use MapServer on winXP with IIS installed as a web server. I have
a layer that reads a list of points from an Access database through ODBC
(this means you are not limited to Access :-). I could easily use ASP to
manage my database....

For reading the database look at this:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpatialData

Beware that you have to have a newer MapServer installation for this to work
without problems.....version 4.2.0. works fine...

I hope it helps,
Goran

I apologize for the re-post.  Perhaps I should send it to the dev list.


To those of you who added WFS support to MapServer.

In a MapServer WFS Server instance, is it possible to build a Map file
in a way that you aggregate many local data layers into one layer that
can be requested from a WFS Client?

I realize that you could do this with one or more tileindex's if your
domain of layers was static, however, I am thinking of situations where
a dynamic mapfile is used.

Steve,

I am not sure what level of integration your are looking for.  There
are some people on this list who have done .asp MapServer projects,
including a wrapper I believe.  Hopefully they will speak up.

Depending on your needs, one easy solution is to use .asp to
dynamically build a http request string to a MapServer Server
(mode=map).  This string is then used as the source of an image on your
page.  I do this with ColdFusion all the time.

It doesn't allow you to query the image, zoom, etc.  But it is a great,
cheap, and easy way to add simple dynamic map components to a Web app.

Hi all

I do not know exactly what you are looking for, but ahta I'm doing is :
- I have to frames
        - I select some data from "ASP frame"
        - I build the URL to "update" the scr of frame2
        - I "update" frame2

What I obtain is a "ASP frame" which has somo logical scratch and as "HTML frame" which can be updated from "ASP frame" but also con be manage by itself due to I added zoom, drag, pan,set scale, etc etc functions

Hope It will hep you

Javier

Has anybody created this type of report with Mapserver?  Any examples,

An interesting idea.

I think I would approach this a little differently. The thing you need
to do is to use the cell object to query the flight lines data using
multiple select and count the number of lines intersecting with the cell
object. Then update the the cell's attributes with the count.

Mapserver already supports query by shape and query by rectangle. So you
could have arbitrary cell object shapes like city polygons or cell
rectangles based on shapes. or you could just create a double for loop
in mapscript to compute the rectangles and call querybyrect().

Hope this helps,
  -Steve

I found the solution once on the Mapserver mailing list. You can use the gdaltindex from OpenEV and use a command like

for %f in (D:\data\IMAGES\*.tif) do gdaltindex img_index.shp %f

on the CMD prompt.

Message-ID: <MON.27.SEP.2004.181806.0400.TCHADDADCSHORE.COM>

Listers,

We have a strange migration issue that we are struggling to solve. In our recent migration of a GMAP-based application from MS 3.6.0 to 4.2.2, we seem to have lost the ability to query POINT and LINE files.

Below are examples from our MAP file of each layer type. All 3 layers draw as expected in 4.2 with the various specified symbols. The first is a POLYGON file and queries on it and all POLYGON files behave as expected. Next is a LINE and then a POINT layer, neither of which return any query results, although they should, and did under 3.6.

I tried drawing the point layer with huge symbols to make sure that I was definitely hitting the item I was trying to Query, but
it made no difference. Am somewhat stumped as to where to look next as I can't think why POLYGON queries would work but others would not. The only other variable in the below is the SYMBOL type: the first is VECTOR, the second is ELIPSE and the third is PIXMAP.

Any ideas would be great...

Tanya

Message-ID: <TUE.28.SEP.2004.052639.0700.PABLORVYAHOO.COM>

Hi again

I?ve tried everything to obtain a map file that works
with my shape files but I?ve not obtained what I need.

I think that is the projection and the correct size of
the image.  Could anybody tell me if there is a way to
know the correct projection and image size for a shape
file??

Thanks

Joan -

It looks like you have a tile4ms that was built WITHOUT the wildcard command-line expansion in stdargv.obj.

A more literal translation of Armin's command line would be:

for %f in (c:\foto\*.tif) do tile4ms tilefile.shp %f

Which will work fine, adding the files one at a time.

Thanks for your response,

But I can't get it. I don'tknow what I'm doing wrong!!!!

Now I've tried to use Tile4ms. I execute DOS

C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin>tile4ms tilefile.shp c:\foto\*.tif

And appears "Unable to create c:\foto\*.tif.shp.shp (.shx)" error.

What's wrong?

Joan,

What is wrong is that you didn't follow Armin's instructions.
I believe tile4ms is for greating a tileindex referring to
shapefiles.  You need to use gdaltindex to build a tile index
referring to raster files.  And, you actually need to use the
for statement as Armin shows ... no kidding.  He didn't just write
that for his health.

Note that the wildcards don't work with gdaltindex (or tile4ms
for that matter) because the windows command shell does not take
care of wildcard expansion the way unix command shells do.

Subject: Problems with Positioning Names from MapInfo TAB file
Message-ID: <TUE.28.SEP.2004.084932.0500.COVARIANCESHAW.CA>

Hi:
    I am trying to use a TAB file that has names positioned on blockfaces.
In the MapInfo ProViewer (a free viewer from MapInfo) I can view the file
and see the street annotation positioned at the various angles that they run
along the streets. But when I try and display this in MapServer I only get
them positioned horizontally. I tried using the LABEL object but it wouldn't
display them at all so I reverted to the STYLEITEM "AUTO" command and it put
the labels out but only horizontally.

   Does anyone know how to get MapServer to use the angles stored with the
text in the file? My map file is included below. The blckface file has both
lines for blockfaces and text elements in it. Here is some same output from
the OGRINFO program:

OGRFeature(ST_VITAL_BONIFACE_BLKFACE):4532
  ID (Integer) = 6152
  Style = PEN(w:1px,c:#d9bb15,id:"mapinfo-pen-2.ogr-pen-0")

Hi everybody.

I was happily working on a Mapserver project using only my shapefiles
and raster images when I started playing with mapserv2.esrin.esa.it
WMS server. According to the documentation (and what I am seeing on my
screen :-) ) there is a severe projection mismatch. I am only the
computer guy, so I have no great knowledge of this topic.
All I know is that my shape files are in Gauss-Boaga's (Monte
Mario/Italy Zone 1) projection, so in my map file I put:

  PROJECTION
    "proj=tmerc "
    "lat_0=18.833333333 "
    "lon_0=-155.500000000 "
    "k=0.999967 "
    "x_0=152400.305 "
    "y_0=0.000 "
    "ellps=clrk66 "
    "to_meter=0.3048006096 "
    "no_defs"
  END

According to Proj config files this should be also known as epsg:26591
The problem is that I don't know if I can even use the esrin WMS
server, as in its capability this projection is not listed.

So the question is lame: can I make it work (possibly in a simple
manner) or am I completely stuck? Being a test I would be happy if
someone could point me to some other WMS server that can be used
together with my data

Thank you in advance; as you can imagine Cartography is not exactly my field :-)

Hi

After doing a particular request to MapServer, all I want is to get a
subset of the returned GML document.
To do it, I was thinking about using JAXB. The first step is to bind the
generated schema. But that?s where the problem starts.
So, to be sure that JAXB is able to do the binding of the opengis
schemas, I started with WFS-basic.xsd but with no success.
(http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd)
I get lots of error messages...

[ERROR] cos-ct-extends.1.4.3.2.2.1.a: The content type of a derived type
and that of its base must both be mixed or both be element-only. Type
'BinaryOperatorType' is element only, but its base type is not.
  line 37 of expr.xsd

[ERROR] e-props-correct.4: The {type definition} of element 'Add' is not
validly derived from the {type definition} of the
substitutionHead'ogc:expression', or the {substitution group exclusions}
property of 'ogc:expression' does not allow this derivation.
  line 11 of expr.xsd
.
.
.


Does anyone have any experience with MapServer and JAXB? Is it possible
to do the binding of  the schema resulting from a particular MapServer
request?


Thanks

I may have cheated somewhat -- I renamed bgd.lib to gd.lib and mapserv.lib
to mapserv_i.lib, to get around previous errors.

The reason that I'm trying to recompile rather than use a WIN32 binary is
that I require more than 100 layers in a map file.  If there's a way to do
that without recompiling, I will gladly do it.

Thanks,

Nico -

Can you send the URL of the WMS server you're using?  The only service I can find on that site is a WFS feature service.

You need to be able describe the projection of the data coming from the WMS service, and MapServer will request the data in that projection (which must, of course, be a supported projection on that server).

You will have two types of PROJECTION blocks in your map file.  You should have one for each LAYER, describing the native projection in which that layer's data is stored.  And you should have one at the top level of your map file, indicating what *output* projection should be used in producing the requested map.

The PROJECTION block below is superficially OK, but it's certainly not the Monte Mario projection (a central longitude of -155 is a highly non-Italian location).  The EPSG 26591 projection is defined as:

  <26591>
    proj=tmerc
    lat_0=0.000000000
    lon_0=9.000000000
    k=0.999600
    x_0=1500000.000
    y_0=0.000
    ellps=intl
    units=m
    no_defs
  <>

and those are rather different numbers.  Where possible, you can use the EPSG projection definition directly as:

PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:26951"
END

This greatly reduces the risk of typos, at the expense of making the projection definition more cryptic.

Hi,

I had the same problem some weeks ago.
I failed to use auto styling for mapinfo text elements, so i
convert the text to line item and the text is an attribute of the
line element. Then i created a annotation layer in mapserver with
angle auto.

I wrote the program in mapbasic, if you have mapinfo i send it to you.

bye

Nico -

Yes, that should be expected; the GetCapabilities request returns the server's capabilities, and if you ask it to do something it has told you it cannot do, you should expect it to be unable to do it <g>.  You need to select a projection that that server CAN provide; then, by describing that layer's projection to MapServer with a PROJECTION block (one that describes the projection used, not what you want it to be) you can notify MapServer that the returned data needs to be reprojected (if your map's output projection is different).

Subject: Tiling Large Rasters
Message-ID: <TUE.28.SEP.2004.184039.0200.MALSBURGCL.UNIHEIDELBERG.DE>

Hi,

normally I tile raster images with a little script that uses netpbm to
load the data und cut out the tiles.  But now I have an image to tile
that is too large to be loaded into memory.

Actually it should be possible to do the tiling with constant memory
consumption (ammount of memory not depending on the size of the image).

Is there any software out there that accomplishes this task?

I looked briefly into the documentation of Grass but couldn't find
anything.

Thanks,
        Titus

Titus,

There is user written code for a program based on GDAL that will accomplish
this task in bug:

   http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604

You are on your own to build and test it through.  I haven't tried it yet.

I downloaded a tool someone wrote on the GDAL-DEV list called gdalsplit
which splits images. You may want to consider just splitting the image
and creating a tile index of the pieces.

Hello,
I have PHP/Mapscript *.phtml files but dont know how to access them.These data are from the mapserver web they are already programmed files but want to know how to access *.phtml files.These are the USA files from http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/
Could anyone in how I can display the map using these files.I am only used to html files.

Ike,



To get the Mapserver demo working, you must at least:



1-       Have a working installation of Apache with CGI support

2-       Have a working installation of Mapserver CGI

3-       Change variables of the Map file (SHAPEPATH, TEMPLATE and WEB block particularly) according to your system

4-       Change variables of the HTML files according to your system



You can verify your Mapserver CGI installation by sending a test URL to your server (see the doc from Mapserver web site).  I recommend you take a look at this tutorial which will guide you through the installation and testing process:

http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/tutorial/



Otherwise, you can use the DMSolutions Maplab product:

Thank you very much for the reply.I have downloaded the demo as u said and have followd all the necessary steps.


When I clicked on intialise the page the opened did not show the following


?         the map

?         legend

?         scale

But all other things showed up.I would like to know if there is something else that I should do to show up the above mentioned objects.

I think that image type is the problem.Hoping to hear from you.

Isaac

done as you said.

Hello,
        i am working upon a project using php-mapscript & mapserver in windows environment.
        I need to provide the facility so that user can view the map in two different modes -- one is browse mode in which one can pan the map and the other one is map-mode where the user can\'t pan the map.Though till now i am working upon only the browse-mode which is working properly but it\'s becoming difficult for me to find out  the solution for map-mode .
         Any code or suggesation in this respect will be greatfully accepted.
         Thanking you ................Sudip

Pierre,

you can do this with styles (size and symbols). For example:

MAP
...
  SYMBOL
  NAME 'outline'
  TYPE ELLIPSE
  POINTS 1 1 END
  FILLED true
  END

  SYMBOL
    NAME "hatchfill"
    TYPE vector
    TRANSPARENT 0
    POINTS
      0 1
      1 0
    END
  END
...
  LAYER
...
    TYPE POLYGON
...
    CLASS
...
      STYLE # thickened-diagonal-hatch-fill
        COLOR     255 0 0
        SYMBOL  "hatchfill"
        SIZE         3
      END

      STYLE # thickened outline
        OUTLINECOLOR     0 255 0
        SYMBOL  'outline'
        SIZE         5
      END
    END
  END
END

You can define the symbol to whatever you want. You can draw a connected
line (e.g. looking like "<" ) or a seperated line (e.g. looking like "X"
). For the seperation use a point with "-99 -99".

Regards,
Norbert

Pablo,

you can use ogrinfo on the shapefile to get the extent. With that extent
in your mapfile it should be possible to show the first image. Simply
leave all projection definitions out. You can do that for data which has
the same projection. So if you use one shapefile you don't have any
problem. The projection gets important when you want to use different
projected datasets or have a changing projection for the map (e.g. WMS).

For projections it is important that you know your data and you should
know the projection for providing a map service:
- ask your dataprovider
- sometimes you have additional information like a .prj file for
shapefiles or some other metadata like text or html files
- mostly data is in a popular coordinate system so you can often look at
the coordinates (if you are familiar with different projections) and
guess / try

The imagesize is only important for the outputed image so you can set
that to whatever size fits your site or application.

Regards,
Norbert

Hallo,

I am relatively new to the MapServer world and would like to display an
ArcInfo grid. My MS-version is 4.2.3 with input support for GDAL. I have
read most(?) of the documentation about displaying raster files but using
the GDAL library in practive is still unclear to me. Do I need to compile
the downloaded 1.2.1 library? If this is the case please be patient with my
ignorance, but: how do I compile this stuff?? - I've never had this to do
before so any instructions would be welcome.

Thanks for any help. Sorry for my holpriges English.

hello,

I would like to adjust colors of a geotiff in photoshop:

Before editing I can display it with mapserver and open it with globalmapper
then I open the file in photoshop
i adjust the color
i save the tiff
I write the geotiff tag again with GeoTiffExamine

But now i can't display it with mapserver and when I open it with
globalmapper, it says:
'wrong data type 1 for XML Packet'; tag ignored
'unknown field with tag 34665 encountered'

How do I save it right with photoshop?
I have no compression and tried also tif for mac and pc, no difference.

Joerg,

If there aren't too many special non-geotiff tags you want to preserve,
you might just want to run the file through gdal_translate.  This should
drop out unusual Photoshop tags, though in general "wrong data type ...
tag ignored" messages should not be fatal in processing.

However, I would be interested in getting a smallish sample of the file
if possible.  Was the XML Package tag in question put in by Photoshop or
GeoTiffExamine?

Gerhard,

If you have a MapServer with GDAL support already you should not need to
do anything special to use Arc/Info Binary Grids (I assume that is what
you mean by arcinfo grid - there are also ascii equivelents).  The only
trick with grids is how you name the grid.  The easiest way to refer to the
grid is by giving the name of the hdf.adf file the grid directory.

Ike,

 

You can run your phtml like any other html file from your web server.  To do
that, you just have to set the type in your httpd.conf file (if you are
using Apache of course):

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

AddType application/x-httpd-php-cgi .php .phtml               # If you want
to run php as cgi

Action application/x-httpd-php-cgi /cgi-bin/php433             # Where is
your php cgi application

 

Of course, you must have compiled Apache and PHP to work together (see
HYPERLINK
"http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/phpmapscript-install-howto.html"http://m
apserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/phpmapscript-install-howto.html or search Google
for an installation adapted to your OS).

 

This way, you will be able to call your application as HYPERLINK
"http://your.host/your_script.phtml"http://your.host/your_script.phtml

 

P.S. These USA demo files have to be edited to your settings before you can
run them
  See the Mapserver installation and PHP/Mapscript documentation.

 

Cheers!

To get the Mapserver demo working, you must at least:

 

1-       Have a working installation of Apache with CGI support

2-       Have a working installation of Mapserver CGI

3-       Change variables of the Map file (SHAPEPATH, TEMPLATE and WEB block
particularly) according to your system

4-       Change variables of the HTML files according to your system

 

You can verify your Mapserver CGI installation by sending a test URL to your
server (see the doc from Mapserver web site).  I recommend you take a look
at this tutorial which will guide you through the installation and testing
process:

HYPERLINK
"http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/tutorial/"http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/
projects/tutorial/

 

Otherwise, you can use the DMSolutions Maplab product:

When I clicked on intialise the page the opened did not show the following

*         the map

*         legend

*         scale

But all other things showed up.I would like to know if there is something

I think that image type is the problem.Hoping to hear from you.

To anyone who may know,
    Here is my situation currently. I am working on a wirless solution that
uses Mapserver. I can make the http request to the Mapserver CGI to return a
map as an image to me. Since it is not going to a browser I need to extract
only the image from the returned stream. I imagine it has an http header in
the stream of some sort. So my question is how many bytes into the stream
does the actual image start? Also is there anything tailing the image like a
return character or does it end with end of the image?
Thank you,

Andy -

HTTP headers are simply text lines, ending with a newline (\n).  Two newlines in a row (\n\n) indicates the end of the headers and the start of the content.  There should be nothing after the image content.  However, you may get a response with a "continue" header, followed by the content (or more content).

This isn't very complicated, but you should step carefully.  I strongly recommend that you get an HTTP "sniffer" package - I use HTTPLook on Windows (see http://www.httpsniffer.com) - it's simple, comes with a 15-day free trial, and costs USD$29.95 for a single license.  A few sessions with a sniffer should tell you everything you need to know.

Thanks Frank & the others,

The GDAL question has been solved.

It's the last point you mention I don't manage to handle: 
The path to/of my grid (binary) directory is
c:\projects\abtenau\geodata\abtdem\

The SHAPEPATH is set to "c:\projects\abtenau\geodata" and for the
DATA-parameter of my grid file I assume "abtdem/hdr.adf" is correct or am I
mistaken here?!

I have tried all sorts of path variation now but none will work. Or do I
have to leave out the PROJECTION object for the grid layer?

Kind regards,
Gerhard

Subject: Projection issues with WMS layers
Message-ID: <WED.29.SEP.2004.095252.0600.KENSANDNARROWS.COM>

I have a MAP setup with a custom projection, its a lambert equal area
azimuth:

    PROJECTION
      "proj=laea"
      "ellps=WGS84"
      "lat_0=12"
      "lon_0=-100"
      "x_0=0"
      "y_0=0"
      "datum=WGS84"
      "units=m"
      "no_defs"
    END

So anyways, the projection works fine internally. If I add shp file
layers of different projections they line up appropriately. Further I
have a quick view tool that zooms to some specific extents that's given
in a different projection and it zooms to where it should when the tool
is used. However when I add WMS layers to the map, they are not
positioned properly, well least not at full extent. If I start off
viewing all of canada the WMS layers (also for all of Canada) get
squished towards the top of the map. However the more I zoom into my
map, the closer they get to their proper position. I have looked in my
EPSG file for the WMS projections to make sure that wasn't the problem,
further if I setup a MAP with another projection from the EPSG file then
the WMS layers work fine.

Anyone have an idea on whats going on?

Thanks,

Ken

Looks pretty cool but I don't think you can compare the two products
because mapserver will generate dynamic content reading from the current
data source whereas svg mapview is a "publisher" and exports what exists
at the time it is run (if I'm reading it correctly).
I think a comparison between something like arcreader & svg mapview is a
closer one.

Doug,

If you're currently using saveWebImage() to save the file you could use
saveImage(string filename) instead and be able to specify whatever you
want for the name. I'm not sure there is any method available that would
allow you to access the random saveWebImage string for use in saveImage
or any way to tell saveWebImage to use prefix "X" when naming.

Manjiri,

the tmp directory is a directory that you have to set up on your server
and your Web server needs to have read and write access to the
directory.  It doesn't have to be called 'tmp'.  It should be in your
Web root because it also needs to be referenced as a URL.

The variable 'map_web_imagepath' is used to set the IMAGEPATH value in
the WEB block of your MAP file.  There is more documentation on that
here:  http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc42/mapfile-reference.html#web .
It should contain the path to the 'tmp' directory that you want
MapServer to write the map images to.  (e.g. '/usr/local/www/docs/tmp/'
on 'NIX or 'c:\apache\htdocs\tmp\' on Windows.)

Similarly, 'map_web_imageurl' refers to IMAGEURL in the Web block. (see
above documentation URL)  It refers to the URL to the same 'tmp'
directory above, but as a URL, not a path.  (e.g.
'http://my.site.com/tmp/')  For most sites, like the demo you are using,
it is expressed as a relative URL  (e.g. '/tmp/')

Good Luck,

David.

Hello!!
I'm trying to run the demo application which is on the
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/dload.html . I have extracted the
workshop.exe, and have created a folder under cgi-bin directory. In
the
readme file of workshop demo, they have stated to change the hidden
variable settings in index.htm file, i'm not getting where to set the
hidden variables for following 2 things:
<input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
value="/usr/local/www/docs/tmp/">
      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="/tmp/">
I don't see any tmp directory in the workshop(, though there is a
templets
directory), is this the same?

Hello List

Apologies in advance if this is an older bug, but I couldn't find it in
your bug tracker. I am creating a WFS client, and selected your WFS as
one of my victims :).  When reading the capabilities document, you have
forgotten to declare the default namespace on the server instances I
have seen (included below).

I was wondering if these servers are out of date, and if so where I
could find a demo server to test against. (BTW the code is freely
available in the geotools project).

Thanks in advance,

David Zwiers

David,
Thanks for providing me with the information about creating a directory for
writing temporary files. I have created the directory
C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/Docs/tmp.
I have given IIS rights to read and write to these directories.
And i edited the hidden variables as:

<!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->
      <input type="hidden"
name="map"value="c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/itasca.map">
      <input
type="hidden"name="program"value="c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/cgi-
bin/mapserv">
      <input type="hidden" name="root" value="c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer">
      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imagepath"
value="c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/Docs/tmp/">
      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="/Docs/tmp/">
But still when I hit the "Initialize" button, I get "The Page can not be
displayed" error.
Do you have any idea about whats goin wrong here?
Thank you again,
Manjiri

Tom,

My comment was more to the effect that I believe some attributes are
missing in the documents returned. The current implementation has this
as the first element:

<WFS_Capabilities version="1.0.0" updateSequence="0"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs
http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-capabilities.xsd">

but I believe that since both the default namespace has not been set,
and the xsi namespace has not been set, the schemaLocation attribute is
meaningless to a generic parser. I also do not believe that the
capabilities document would validate.

My recommendation is to add the the following two attributes to have the
element looks like this:

<WFS_Capabilities version="1.0.0" updateSequence="0"
xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wfs"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs
http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-capabilities.xsd">

Yours,

David

Has anyone used MapServer with SLDs that have spatial filters?

I have successfully used SLDs that apply rules based on attributes
values, but when I apply rules based on a bbox MapServer matches
everything, not just the features in the region I specified.  The file I
am using is pasted below.

Does anyone have an example SLD file that I can work from?

Both WMS targets use MapServer 4.2.0, and both define the xsi namespace,
as well as http://www.opengis.net as the default namespace of the
document, as well as the xsi:schemaLocation directive properly.

Both documents validate fine.  If you're debugging looking at response
through something like Mozilla, you may want to "view source" to see the
XML response in its entirety.

Cheers

Whoops, I meant http://www.opengis.net/wfs as the default namespace.

Hi all,

The problem was fixed. My special thanks go to Frank who spent several
hours digging that 'bug' out. It happened because we compiled mapserver
with pdf support. The libpdf has its own libtiff which is different than
the one coming with gdal. So when I tested with wms raster display, it
crashed. (do not understand why regular mapfile was rendered ok?).
Anyways,Frank has a better explanation on this:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=888

It is such a tricky stuff and did give my colleagues and myself some
really hard time. Thanks again, Frank.

Hi,

You have to define symbol set, you can put it into a separate file or
you cen define symbols in the map file. Usually the separate file is
prefered.

symbol file (symbols.sym)
SYMBOLSET

SYMBOL  #  standard cicular brush
        NAME 'circle'
        TYPE ELLIPSE
        POINTS 1 1 END
        FILLED TRUE
END

SYMBOL  # cross hatching
        NAME 'fill45'
        TYPE VECTOR
        TRANSPARENT 0
        POINTS
                0 1
                1 0
        END
END

# end of symbol file

map file

....
LAYER # cross hatched polygons
        NAME 'a_polygon_layer'
        ...
        CLASS
                COLOR 60 60 60
                OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
                SYMBOL 'fill45'
                SIZE 3
        END
END

LAYER # thick lines
        NAME 'a_line_layer'
        ...
        CLASS
                SYMBOL 'circle'
                SIZE 3
                COLOR 255 0 0

END

Mapservers,

Two methods I use in php mapscript don't seem to be in the SWIG version.

Layer->queryByIndex - this is non-critical since I can use queryByAttribute
with an FID

Map->loadQuery - this is critical.  There is a saveQuery method, but no
loadQuery?

Thanks for any insight.

I have mapserver set up on a development server. It runs just fine with
phpmapscript. However if I try the following simple IMG tag:

IMG SRC="MapServer/cgi/bin/mapserv?map=orthotest.map&mode=map" width=450
height=450

in an html page I get nothing. I even put mapserver and the .map file in the
same directory. I can make a php page that works with that exact same map. I
have IIS set to allow scripts and executables. Is there something else I'm
doing wrong?

Andy -

First, be careful with relative paths - they can be fragile, and might not do what you expect.  And is that path really .../cgi/bin/... ?

Test by just entering the SRC URL in your browser's address bar, prefixed by the appropriate URL root (make sure it's what you expect).  You'll then get to see any error message MapServer is generating.

Adam,

Since I've used the PHP mapscript, I'm not sure what loadQuery and
saveQuery
are for.  Explain?

Adam,

I'm not even sure if saveQuery works correctly, which would be the first
hurdle. Perhaps there is a different way to do what you need.?

Sorry, meant to say that I've *never* used the PHP mapscript and
don't understand the use for saving and loading queries.

Adam,

If I understand saveQuery correctly, you can do something similar to
this by using the shapeindex for each result to pull the shapes out of
the original layer (if it's a shapefile) and writing each shape to a new
shapefile. This doesn't combine all result layers into a single file
however, it means one shapefile for each layer with a result(s).
No wonder there isn't a loadQuery, parsing all the particulars back out
of a single file would be interesting if you change layer ordering at
any point.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Am I the only one using saveQuery?  I think saveQuery and loadQuery are
terrific methods.  They generate/read small files of shape index values -
similar, to a bitmap in Avenue I think.  By loading a saved query, I can
return a layer to a previous query 'state', for lack of a better word
(resultCacheObj state?).  This is extremely useful.

Building shapefiles does not allow for dynamic queries using AND, OR, or XOR
with previous queries, and it's too slow.  The layer index problem is easily
handled by changing the layer index value in the saved query file itself
prior to loading.  As long as only one layer is queried at a time, this
works well.

I'm trying to re-write an application using Python and without this
functionality it's a no go.  I can't even emulate a saveQuery because there
is no queryByIndex method, and even if there was, stepping through a list of
indexes and calling queryByIndex is MUCH slower than the loadQuery method.

I'm at a loss.

Adam

As far as I understand, queryByFeatures works in the same session.  Using
query files, I'm able to allow the user to AND, OR, and XOR a previous query
in another session by loading the previously saved .qy query file.  It's a
round-about way of reading the previous file into an array, running the new
query, getting that as an array, relating the arrays, and saving the array
to yet another qy file.  It's not pretty, but it works.  And with saveQuery
& loadQuery, it's pretty fast.

By the way, saveQuery does work correctly in SWIG mapscript.  I read the
file when populating a result table and the results are correct so far.

PHP's loadQuery() and saveQuery() are just methods that expose the
functionality of the mapserv CGI's "SAVEQUERY" function. My
understanding is as Adam wrote, that they save and load the contents of
the result cache, to allow you to maintain the results of a query
highlighted on the map when you browse after a query.

Someone mentioned in this thread that changing the layer order would
break the saved query, and yes, I believe that's true. It's up to the
application code to not prevent that from happening.

Manjiri,

This may not be the only problem that still exists, but I did see one
error.

Because you are on Windows, you need to add '.exe' to the program name.
Like this:

<input
type="hidden" name="program" value="c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/cgi-
bin/mapserv.exe">

David,
Thanks for providing me with the information about creating a directory
for
writing temporary files. I have created the directory
C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MapServer/Docs/tmp.
I have given IIS rights to read and write to these directories.
And i edited the hidden variables as:

<!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->
      <input type="hidden"

      <input type="hidden" name="map_web_imageurl" value="/Docs/tmp/">
But still when I hit the "Initialize" button, I get "The Page can not be

Do you have any idea about whats goin wrong here?
Thank you again,

. . . .here goes. (get cup/glass of your favorite beverage)

Has anyone experimented with trying to build a basic mapfile simply by
reading a SHP datasource.

----------------

My situation:

I have just about everything automated for a data custodian to publish
their respective dataset (SHP) through a MAPSERVER install except for
the MAPFILE creation.   The thought was to start with a template of some
sort (similar to a HTML template) and using some REGEX operation to
substitute the source data  piece to come up with a way to initiate a
cursory Mapfile.

The end product to be a basic discorvy mechamism for the MapServer to
use in generating it's own data them configuration files.

Is this out there to far left to think about?

These initial config files would be used by whomever the data custodian
is or the MapServer admin to start up a publishing process.   We have a
couple of different Client built that can be handed the discory
information of a new data theme fairly easily.  The MapServer piece
seems like it might be a bit tricky.

Eventually, we want to move to a WMS distribution process so that this
type of operation make much more sense, but for now it would be intended
as a way to jumpstart a data theme publishing action.

some items that might mitigate something like this would be :

    * The type of theme, POINT, LINE, POLYGON, TEXT, RASTER,etc.  Maybe
      the solution to this is a different template.
    * The source data folder, how to tell MapServer that there is
      something someplace.  We use a Flatfile control that does this
      now.  A HTML interface added on to it would help out I think,
      where a validated theme owner could add in their data theme, even
      uploading of the file could be enabled.  This is for an INTRANET
      at first.
    * How to describe in a discovery process that there is new data to
      distribute.  A getcapabilities request for example.  I suppose a
      Master Mapfile would be needed for this.  We use seperate MapFiles
      for each theme at the moment.  The MapFiles are right alongside of
      the data themes themseleves along with any dependant config file,
      TEMPLATES, SYMBOLS,etc.

I'm sure I'll come up with more stuff as I think about the task some more.

In the end I would like to move as much of the config process as
possible back to the data owners/custodians, and just run the system as
an administrative function.  I can see down the road the notion of
building a simple online MAPFILE editor.

Thanks

Hey Bob, this is a good idea. I had simpler ideas along this line. If
you take the ArcExplorer model, the first thing you do is load the layer
and zoom to its extents. It would be easy to create an application that
you pointed at a shapefile and it reads the attribute columns and asks
you what which id any you want to use as a label, what color you want
the object displayed in maybe 1-2 more options, it could also give you
some additional information, like extents, object type, number of
objects, a preview map, with the objects in black, or gray and black
outline so you can preview it. After you make your selection it would
generate a mapfile for that one shapefile.

It gets a lot harder to create a multiple layer mapfile and for that you
should move to something like DM Solutions MapLab.

Also, if all you data is tagged as being in one of a group of areas,
then you could have a standard base map layer like the US States as
under the data layer you are making to give is more context.

Just some more ideas for the brew :)

Hi Adam,
some time time ago I also wanted to use save/loadQuery from Java
mapscript.
My workaround is to save query parameters in the user's session and run
the query every time until it is cleared on explicit user request or
another query is run.
This keeps the result consistent even if the user changes layers display
properties (hides/shows a layer).

I did not notice any significant slowdown.

HTH,
Umberto

Subject: ApplySLD creates incorrect filter
Message-ID: <THU.30.SEP.2004.135038.0200.BEREND.VELDKAMPARIS.NL>

Hello all,

I have the following filter in an sld:
<And>
   <PropertyIsBetween>
     <PropertyName>X</PropertyName>
     <LowerBoundary>143692</LowerBoundary>
     <UpperBoundary>145692</UpperBoundary>
   </PropertyIsBetween>
   <PropertyIsBetween>
     <PropertyName>Y</PropertyName>
     <LowerBoundary>461308</LowerBoundary>
     <UpperBoundary>463308</UpperBoundary>
   </PropertyIsBetween>
</And>

When I do a direct getmap request to a Mapserver WMS server (for example
http://localhost/mapserv&map=test.map&service=wms&version=1.1.0&request=getmap&layers=nap&styles=&sld=test.sld),
  it works. However when I use PHP/MapScript it doesn't.

When I call ApplySLD, MapServer creates a class with the following
expression:
EXPRESSION ( ([X]  >= 143692 AND  [X]  <= 145692) And  ([Y]  >= 461308
AND  [Y]  <= 463308))

Since this is a WMS layer, MapServer tries to translate this expression
back to a valid filter when making the getmap request, but fails. I
experimented a bit , and I found that It only works with a maximum of 2
conditions, and only using ">" or "<", not "<=" or ">=", i.e. ( ([X]  >
143692 AND  [X]  < 145692) )
This is the filter that MapServer creates in this case:
<AND>
   <ogc:PropertyIsGreaterThan>
     <ogc:PropertyName>X</ogc:PropertyName>
     <ogc:Literal>143692</ogc:Literal>
   </ogc:PropertyIsGreaterThan>   <ogc:PropertyIsLessThan>
   <ogc:PropertyName>X</ogc:PropertyName>
     <ogc:Literal>145692</ogc:Literal>
   </ogc:PropertyIsLessThan>
</AND>


Now I don't really care if it's "greater than" or greater than or equal
to", but I really would like to be able to use more than 2 conditions.
I'm not sure if this is possible at all, can anyone comment on this?

Thanks, Berend

Adam,

Thanks for the explanation.  I am not against implementing the PHP
savequery
and loadquery, although I do question why these methods write and read
from
the filesystem when your logical combination needs to be done in memory.

Meanwhile, for 4.2, I have an idea.  Instead of manipulating the layer's
resultcache in place, create Python sets of query results and do your
logical
operations on them.  For example::

     import sets

     ...
     layer.query1()  # assume success
     qset1 = sets.Set()
     for i in range(layer.getNumResults()):
         result = layer.getResult(i)
         result_tuple = (result.shapeindex, result.tileindex,
result.classindex)
         qset1.add(result_tuple)

     layer.query2()  # assume success
     qset2 = sets.Set()
     for i in range(layer.getNumResults()):
         result = layer.getResult(i)
         result_tuple = (result.shapeindex, result.tileindex,
result.classindex)
         qset2.add(result_tuple)

     # Union
     qunion = qset1.union(qset2)

     # Intersection
     qintersection = qset2.intersection(qset1)

     # Get shapes from the intersection
     for member in qintersection:
         layer.getShape(member[0], member[1])
         ...


Sets are a first class type in the upcoming Python 2.4, well worth
learning.

cheers,
Sean

Hi guys,

I am wonding if there is a way to get the map to wrap back around.
I have looked through documentation, and I have either completely
missed what I need, or didn't realize it was what I needed.

The problem I have now, is when I get to the "edge" of the map, it
just keeps going off into nowhere land.  Is there a way to join up the
edges?  This way if I want to pan across the Pacific and follow a
specific route, I can.

Does this make sense?

Thank,

Jerl

Message-ID: <THU.30.SEP.2004.091104.0600.AWOOLEYMOUNTAINLAND.ORG>

Folks,

I am using a raster tileindex that I created using gdaltindex and it
works very well.  However, when I draw a portion of the map that the
index does not cover, I get this:
Fatal error: Object expected as argument. in
/var/www/html/bst/map/bstmap.phtml on line 548. Line 548 is the line
before the drawing of the map.

I don't get an error if I take out the entry in the mapfile for the
tiles or if I turn it off.

Is there a way I am using PHP/MapScript and would be fine if I could
turn it off through code, but I am not sure how to check to see if the
index is in the current extent.

Here is my mapserver info:  MapServer version 4.2.0 OUTPUT=PNG
OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Sean,

Thanks for the reply.  Your solution is what I've essentially been doing for
a while now in PHP.  But this sort of thing is MUCH more useful when you are
able to do a saveQuery.  For example:

1.)  User searches by Attributes: [NAME] = 'Smith'.  Query1.qy is saved and
the file name is passed to the user along with a map showing all highlighted
features.

2.)  User clicks the "AND" selection method and draws a box on the map.  The
box extent and the query file name are passed back.  I do a queryByRect on
the layer using the box to get result set1.  I load in the old query (set2).
I check the selection method and perform the relate (AND,OR,XOR) and produce
set3 (JUST AS YOU HAVE DESCRIBED ABOVE).  I save this as query2.qy, load it
into the mapb object, drawQuery and spit back results.  Now only those
features with Name = Smith AND inside the box are displayed.

3.)  User searches by Attributes: [YEARBUILT] < 1970 with selection method
again set to AND which will further narrow the selection...

...and this can go on and on indefinitely.  This is the only way to do
multiple and successive spatial and attribute queries in order to refine a
selection set.

THIS IS GIS BABY!

And here's why my interface wouldn't work with your solution above:

1.)  Iterating through large selection sets using mapscript to build an
array, or set, or whatever is too slow.  I know this to be true in PHP after
doing a number of tests, and I can't say for sure in Python, but I suspect
so.  It is MUCH faster to do map.saveQuery to a file, and then write a
little routine to read the binary file into an array.  This seemed
counter-intuitive to me, but I ran a bunch of tests and that's what I found.
Much faster!

2.)  At the end of your solution you have an array of indexes but nothing to
do with them but get the shape.  What are you going to do with the shapes,
draw each one?  That's way to slow.  What you need is a way to define the
resultCache with your array, but queryByIndex is not implemented.  And, as I
said before, even if it was implemented, iterating though a large set and
using queryByIndex on each index is WAY TO SLOW!  It is MUCH faster to dump
that new set to a file and do a map.loadQuery.

And if you build shapefiles (or entirely new files in whatever format you
prefer), as Lowell has suggested, you loose the initial indexing of the
original file and are no longer able to do successive spatial and attribute
queries.  You could use a FID attribute, but then you'd be back to iterating
through a bunch of queryByAttributes...ugggh!

Please let me know what you think about this.

I don't know C, I'm on Windows, and I don't even compile my own mapscript so
I'm really just using the software and not contributing to it's development.
In light of that, if there is any way I can help with this, I am more than
willing to put in the time.  Let me know.

Best regards,

Adam

Umberto,

I thought about this too but running a query every time is too slow.  And,
the only way to do succesive refining queries is to run multiple queries in
every session, and that's WAY to slow.

I have recently set up a MapServer to handle political maps in the U.S.  I
am not an experienced geographer, but through poking around, and finding
various workarounds, I've managed to get a few maps up and running.

I've documented my efforts on my blog, Orient Lodge,
http://www.orient-lodge.com  Feel free to read that and comment there, or
answer my questions which I'll list here.  (You may need to read the blog
entry to get the full context...)

How do I get MapServer to work with IIS?
How do I get MapScript working with IIS?
How do I incorporate this into Drupal (e.g. getting MapClient or MapScript
to work)
How do I find extents automatically without using ArcView?
Is there a nice way to change the scaling?
How do you make a section clickable? (I?m currently creating PNGs that I add
to Drupal as a client side clickable map)
How do you set up a floating tag? (So, when the mouse hovers over a
location, it says what the location is. I can do this with clickable maps,
and have at Local Pols)
How do you make different sections different colors based on specific needs?
(I?m doing it with a kludged up map file. I?m sure there must be a better
way
How do I add a symbol, or many symbols, programmatically?

You are right, in my case I have a ridiculous amount of data and I could
not wait for save/loadQuery so that is a workaround for me.

In the future I might switch to load/saveQuery.

hello Frank,

thanks for your help, that was the problem. And now I can also display
UTM geotiffs, which never worked before.

One more question (and a lot more in the next post :-)
The datum of the file is completely dropped (WGS84). How do I set it? I
tried:
gdal_translate.exe -a_srs "+datum=WGS84" daten/test.tif
daten/test_transl2.tif
but of course it doesn't work.

I think the XML Package tag in question was put in by Photoshop.
How can I give you a sample? The original file has around 220MB...

Maybe you have also some suggestions for my next post
'basic questions for my project'

Thanks
Joerg

Adam, I didn't understand that you were using drawQuery ... that changes
the equation a bit.

Yes, getting query results one by one with mapscript is the slowest
possible method.  In my opinion, what's *really* needed is a mapscript
method
that returns arrays, or Python lists, of results.  Then you wouldn't
have to
write/read from the filesystem either.  Faster yet.

Agreed, drawing individual shapes is slow.

You use hobu's mapscript, right?  So you are asking for an enhancement
to mapserver 4.3/4.4?  I think a fully functional saveQuery/loadQuery
is a very reasonable request.  Please confirm, and I'll add an issue to
Bugzilla.

Sean

As like any other CGI script.  See IIS documentation.

 * You could write your own CGI scripts i.e. in Python using mapscript.

   use .NET

Use the ogrinfo tool:

        ogrinfo.exe -al gshhs.shp

It will output something like:

        INFO: Open of `gshhs.shp'
        using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

What do you mean by "scaling"?

Yes, I'm using hobu's mapscript, and Yes, I confirm!  saveQuery is already
implemented (at least it's working fine on my side) hence my confusion when
loadQuery was not recognized.  If implementing loadQuery is feasible it
would be excellent.  Thanks.

And, since INDEXQUERY is a CGI mode, is exposing (is this the right verb?)
the queryByIndex method feasible as well?

And while I'm on a roll, the superior future enhancements as you mentioned -
perhaps 'getCache' and 'setCache' methods - allowing us to manipulate the
sets in memory.  That would be fantastic, though I suspect it's no small
task.

Thanks again,

Adam

All, Titus wrote that he thought folks might be
working on gettinf mapserver and C# together. Is there
a project, documentation underway for this? If so, I
would like to help. I'm too much of a mapserver novice
to start such an effort, but I can help with the C#
aspect.

Thank you,

Message-ID: <THU.30.SEP.2004.122943.0500.MATTHEW.BRYAN.CROWLEYGMAIL.COM>

I'm sure there is something very simple that I am not understanding.  Before
trying to get all this working on my linux server, I thought I would try the
MS4W package from DM solutions to get the hang of things.

I have spent two days trying to get a MAPINFO .tab file to display using the
tutorial in MapLab.

Basically, I just wanted to add another layer using my own source file.  OGR
works, and I don't get any errors when I use the Preview function.  My layer
appears in the menu, but I can't see anything displayed on the screen

The extra lines from my MAP file are :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 LAYER

    STATUS ON
    TYPE POLYGON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "c:\ms4w\apps\maplab-2.2\tutorial\data\MBBDY.tab"
    STYLEITEM "AUTO"
    CLASS
    END
  END
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
and the output from OGRINFO follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a parameter missing from my MAP file?

Subject: reprojecting WMS layer
Message-ID: <THU.30.SEP.2004.112514.0700.THOMASCHESKYYAHOO.COM>

Hello,

I am still having the problem of reprojecting WMS layers into other projection.
USGS provides it's Urban color ortho coverage only in epsg:4326 and I would like it to be in either local UTM zone or local state plate.

I have wms_srs set and PROJECTION tag set to 4326 at the layer level and output projection set via the cgi interface (a method which works fine with reprojecting shape files) The 2 output image is almost identical. There is a small "rotation" effect visible if I switch back and forth from the 2 images, but when I overlay a shapefile layer on it (which is correctly reprojected) the original projection 4326 creates a nicely overlayed image, while the reprojected one has the WMS and shape layer messed up, they do not correctly overlay.

Can I send 2 jpg attachment to the list to demonstrate?

The question therefore: is there any known trick with reprojecting WMS raster layer as opposed to locally stored raster and shape layer? Did anybody has this problem before?
Help me out on this as I am stucked for weeks already.

Here is my mapfile:
MAP
 NAME USGSUrban
 SHAPEPATH      "/usr/local/mapdata/"
 SIZE           600 400
 IMAGETYPE      PNG24
 IMAGECOLOR     0 0 0
 WEB
  IMAGEPATH      /usr/local/httpd/htdocs/tmp/
 END
 LAYER
  NAME "SanFrancisco01"
  TYPE RASTER
        PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:4326"
        END
  STATUS OFF
  CONNECTION "http://gisdata.usgs.net:80/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/USGS_EDC_Ortho_133Urban?"
  CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
  METADATA
   "wms_srs"             "EPSG:4326"
   "wms_name"            "SanFrancisco01"
   "wms_server_version"  "1.1.0"
   "wms_formatlist"      "image/png,image/jpeg"
   "wms_format"          "image/png"
  END
 END
END

The 2 url which should generate to different projection of the WMS layer is:
mapserv?mode=map&map=/usr/local/mapapp/map.map&layer=SanFrancisco01&mapext=-122.226813776775+37.4764381661621+-122.213167520107+37.4835588561656&mapsize=600+400&map_projection=init%3Depsg:26910

mapserv?mode=map&map=/usr/local/mapapp/map.map&layer=SanFrancisco01&mapext=-122.226813776775+37.4764381661621+-122.213167520107+37.4835588561656&mapsize=600+400&map_projection=init%3Depsg:4326

Let me know if anyone has some idea of what's going wrong here.

Thanks

Hi,

I was not able to display MApInfo TABs with STYLEITEM AUTO.
I've read in the map file documentation "This is *very* experimental".
Try to remove STYLEITEM and add some style to your class e.g.
CLASS
        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
END

Subject: basic question for my project
Message-ID: <THU.30.SEP.2004.211321.0200.SUPERBLA3000GMX.NET>

hello,

I would love to have round about something like this:

A global map, which uses as default background the modis land surface
images. I want to be able to zoom to a specific resolution into this map
and than I would like to use the landsat etm+ images.
So that I can zoom from world resolution (modis) to town resolution
(landsat).......

Is this possible?

Which projection should I use?
Landsat images are in UTM, I tried to reproject them in latlong, but
than the quality is much worse.

What about performance?
I have to tile the modis images. What else?

Should I use WMS Server? Which?


Any suggestions are really welcome,
Joerg

Joerg,

Is the data in a projection or just lat/long?  If it is just lat/long
you could do:

gdal_translate.exe -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" \
                    daten/test.tif daten/test_transl2.tif

But if it is UTM but now has the wrong datum you will need to set the
whole coordinate system properly.  You can't just substitute in a
new datum with gdal_translate.

eg.
gdal_translate.exe -a_srs "+proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=WGS84" \
                    daten/test.tif daten/test_transl2.tif

No easy way to cut out a small chunk with the same issue?

Perhaps, if I haven't already missed it.  But I see i have a heap of

breath. :-)

Andrew,

I have reviewed the code related to drawing rasters with a tile index
and I can't see any obvious reason why you would be getting this
behaviour or the error message you are seeing.

Are you in a position to rebuild your MapServer code with extra debugging
output?  If so, I could provide some extra debug messages that *might* shed
some light on things.

Jerl,

There is some discussion of this in the wiki in:

   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WorldMappingIssues

There are many challenges with mapping over the antimeridian.  If you can
provide details of the projection you are mapping in, the projection of
the data, type type of data (lines, raster) and the behaviour you are
seeing we might be able to give some specific advice.

I am keen on seeing global mapping work better in MapServer but it gets
very sticky.

I can't see any reason to explain the crash. Perhaps you should test
against against 4.3, and if it still crashes then please file a bug with
a complete testcase to reproduce the crash.

I think the MapLab tutorial data is in LCC projection, and your data
above seems to be in geographic coordinates (lon/lat). You'll need to
set a PROJECTION object at the top of your mapfile and in your layer so
that MapServer knows that it has to reproject your data to LCC to make
it fit on top of the other layers in the map.

If the tutorial uses the data that I think it does, then at the
top-level in your mapfile you should use:

   PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:42304" # Canada LCC
   END

and your MapInfo layer should use:

   PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:4326"  # Geographic, WGS84
   END

What you describe here is the right way to reproject WMS layers, and the
fact that you see a small rotation effect in the WMS layers when you
switch projections confirms that MapServer in indeed trying to reproject it.

The only thing I could think of is that perhaps your shapefile is not in
the projection you think it is. Maybe a different datum, or something
like that?

You get the right labels but they show up horizontally? That sounds very
much like a bitmap font is being used instead of a TTF.

As documented in the OGR HOWTO, OGR's STYLEITEM AUTO follows the
following rules to chose the font to use for a label:

-----
   1. If TTF fonts are supported:
       a. If the native font name (e.g. "Arial") is found in your
fontset then this font will be used.
       b. If 1a. failed and a font called "default" is present in your
fontset then this "default" font will be used.
   2. If TTF fonts are not supported or if all above cases failed, then
BITMAP MEDIUM font will be used.
-----

So it seems that you may be falling in the "BITMAP MEDIUM" case above.
Looking at the OGRINFO output that you sent, it seems that your labels
use font "Arial", so try defining an Arial font in your fontset. You
might also want to define a "default" font in your fontset in case some
labels use a different font from Arial.

You mean presenting a group of individual layers as a single feature
type in the WFS capabilities?

There is no way to do that at the moment, and that would be a
complicated one to deal with. WFS assumes that all features in a given
layer (layer=FeatureType) share the same schema and MapServer needs to
be able to produce that schema on the fly in response to
(DescribeFeatureType). The GML output of a GetFeature also needs to
follow that common schema for all features in the response. If you allow
grouping of layers, then it's hard to enforce the requirement for a
common schema between layers. I think the best way to go is still the
tileindex.

Subject: reprojecting WMS layer
Message-ID: <THU.30.SEP.2004.230132.0200.ARMIN.BURGERGMX.NET>

Thomas,

I got the impression that reprojecting WMS layers works well when the new projection is not too different from the original of the WMS server, e.g. re-projecting from a Gauss-Krueger to UTM. But I tried it once with reprojecting a WMS layer from lat/lon (epsg 4326) to a lambert azimuthal equal area projection of the map and the results were bad, especailly for low zoom level, like continental view.

In fact the two projections are very different and the lat/lon layer had to be very much distorted for that. It got better the more you zoomed in. It might be a very simplistic view but maybe there are not enough pixels left after the image is fetched from WMS server to stretch and bend the image so much to the new projection.

You might be able achieve this by using or creating an underlined TTF
and then using that. I think there are some font editing programs that
would allow you to open and existing font and add the underline to the
characters and save it as a new font, but others probably know more
about that than me.

I am trying to project NAD27 data to NAD83.  I have downloaded the PROJ
files with NAD27/83 datum shift included and followed the directions as
detailed on the MapServer Wiki ProjHowTo (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-
bin/wiki.pl?WindowProjHowTo).  But, the data is not reprojecting. I have
created a test map file and data sets (see bellow) to try to isolate the
issue...but to no avail.  When I set the Map projection to NAD27(4267) the
NAD83 does not show up at all...and vice-versa.

Am I doing something wrong?  Is their another test I can run?

thanks, chris

Thanks a million Daniel! Putting a font definition in my map file worked
like a charm and the street names are being nicely positioned now.

You can see the results at:

http://www.hwps.ca/MapserverTutorial/StBonifaceStVital/s2/StBonifaceVital_ex1.html

so all that I did was to insert the following line into my map file:

Subject: Shapefile questions
Message-ID: <FRI.1.OCT.2004.103533.0545.GISUNDPHAIS.ORG.NP>

Hello,

I have the following questions about shapefiles and mapserver:

1. Does Mapserver support "merged" polygons in shapefiles? E.g. arcview
allows you to merge two or more NON-ADJACENT polygons, such that they are
treated as a single shape and point to the same rows in the attribute
table. I was wondering if mapserver supports such shapefiles with  merged
non-adjacent polygons.

2. Is there a way to assign shapeindex for shapes in a layer from one of
the fields in the attribute table (like in the mapfile or by dnamically
adding a layer with phpmapscript)? I have a layer with over 4000 polygons
whose attribute ID's do not correspond to the shapeindex returned from
query results. I need the attribute ID's to link to a external database
and display results.

Any advice on an easy way to write shapeindexes into a field in the
attribute table would also be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Pablo,

you can use ogrinfo on the shapefile to get the extent. With that extent
in your mapfile it should be possible to show the first image. Simply
leave all projection definitions out. You can do that for data which has
the same projection. So if you use one shapefile you don't have any
problem. The projection gets important when you want to use different
projected datasets or have a changing projection for the map (e.g. WMS).

For projections it is important that you know your data and you should
know the projection for providing a map service:
- ask your dataprovider
- sometimes you have additional information like a .prj file for
shapefiles or some other metadata like text or html files
- mostly data is in a popular coordinate system so you can often look at
the coordinates (if you are familiar with different projections) and
guess / try

The imagesize is only important for the outputed image so you can set
that to whatever size fits your site or application.

Regards,
Norbert
