I have had the odd projection problem now and then with mapserver newer than 4.0 as well, I have found that sometimes it has problems finding the 'proj' folder. In 2 different windows setups I have found that I have had to place the proj folder at 'c:\proj' for it to work, regardless of how the environmental variables are set. In one of these cases, C was not even the root drive, but proj would still not function unless it was at c:\proj So if you haven't already tried this, make sure that you have your proj folder at c:\proj I also see that in your getcapabilities link, some of the epsg codes do not have 'epsg' capatilized .... try 'EPSG:xxxx' instead of 'epsg:xxxx'. I think I've seen a couple messages on the list where the newer versions of mapserver are fussy about this. I hope that helps, Ken Lord Vancouver BC On Sun, 2 Jan 2005 13:17:03 +0100, Arnulf Christl wrote: > Hi, > sorry I postet a wrong link.

Does your Mapbender client use the exact same ratio of pixel coordinates (width versus height) to world coordinates (maxx-minx versus maxy-miny). Ofcourse there were changes in Mapserver WMS between 4.0.1 and 4.4.1 which can cause non square pixels if the ratio differs, which maybe could cause this .... Just a thought.

Abe, I have reviewed the gdImageCopyMerge() used by mapserver to apply transparent layers to the master copy, and the problem seems to be there. It appears it deliberately uses only a greyscale value from the layer being overlaid on the master, presumably to moderate the number of colors used. Generally speaking I would advise against using transparent layers in 8bit mode anyways due to the difficult to predict number of colors that will be needed. The gdImageCopyMerge() function is a part of the GD library and so not under out (the mapserver developers) direct control. However, if you want to file a bug on the problem we could try and incorporate a special case in our higher level logic to handle transparency with 8bit (pseudocolored) images. If you file a bug on this issue please include this email so we don't have to re-discover what is going on.

Filing a bug is done through the Mapserver bugzilla. http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/ First you need to register in order to being able to file a bug, you can do this by following the link: "Open a new Bugzilla account". The bugzilla system is quite easy to follow, so I am sure you will manage. One of the most important things is to add an attachment to the bug, which can only be done after the bug has been submitted (there is a link then called "create an attachment" or something similar). > Also, what do I need to do to change my image to a higher quality? You have to use RGBA imagemode instead of PC256, for instance for png use: OUTPUTFORMAT NAME png MIMETYPE image/png DRIVER GD/PNG EXTENSION png IMAGEMODE RGBA TRANSPARENT TRUE END Please note this will increase color depth to 24 bit instead of 8 bit, which will make the file size of the images larger.

I've got a layer in my map file that I'm grabbing from terraservice, and it's mostly working great. However, when I overlay some Tiger/Line street data over the terraserver image, things aren't quite lining up. It's very, very close, but just slightly offset when zoomed in (maybe by 20-50 feet). My map file, the terraservice layer, and the tiger/line data are all projected as EPSG:4326, so I don't think it's a projection issue.

In my neighborhood, Northern Colorado, the TIGER streets are very close to reality in Fort Collins and Larimer County ... but pan over to Boulder and there is a pervasive offset from reality. No comment on the mindset of either community intended :) You could shift the streets to align them with the imagery, but you would almost certainly be shifting them out of synch somewhere else.

If you're only interested in a single county or a few counties, you might want to contact your local county assessor's office (or GIS department, although they're usually part of the assessor's office). Often they will have street centerlines that are either TIGER corrected and reprojected to fit their parcel layers or created internally to supplement their other layers. It's 1000x better than TIGER -- most of counties I've seen line up reasonable well with just about anything. What this costs varies a lot from county to county and state to state. Some counties will give this layer away for free. Some charge by the MB & since it's not very big layer, I would think it should be reasonably inexpensive. It's a good place to start either way. -- Jeff Hoffmann jeff at propertykey.com From wouter.schaubroeck at GMAIL.COM Mon Jan 3 09:39:43 2005 From: wouter.schaubroeck at GMAIL.COM (Wouter Schaubroeck) Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2005 18:39:43 +0100 Subject: Premature end of script headers...

However, running the mapserv demo (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/demo_readme.html) gives me the premature end of script: mapserver error every time. I'm going to continue working through the terrasip tutorials until I hit a point where they fail and I start getting the error and maybe I can determine what exactly causes the error to occur. In Linux I got through the compilation but I had a lot of problems with a similar error, premature end of script. Except instead of giving premature end of script: mapserv, I was getting premature end of script: php. There were a lot more complications under linux also, with so many supporting librarys required, having it attempting to load the wrong versions of libs, etc. This is why I decided to try a precompiled win32 version, because I thought it would be a lot simpler and I could concentrate on learning how mapserver worked and then go back to attempting to run it under linux with a little more knowledge of what I was working with. -Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wim Blanken" To: Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 12:03 PM Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Premature end of script headers... > Hello Jeff, > > My experience untill now is that you have to copy all dll's into the > directory WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. > I think that the webserver user (apache?) has no rights to load the dll's > from your mapserver directory. > How did you install mapserver on linux, did you get compile errors of some > kind? > > Regards, > > Wim Blanken > The Netherlands > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jeff Portwine" > To: > Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 4:03 PM > Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Premature end of script headers... > > >>I was having a lot of problems with my linux install of mapserver, simply >> trying to get the demo to run, so finally I changed my approach and >> attempted to install mapserv on a windows xp web server (apache 2). >> When >> I run mapserv without any options, I get the proper response from mapserv >> but as soon as I try to make it run the demo, mapserv crashes and I get >> "internal server error" and the following shows up in my web error logs: >> >> [Mon Jan 03 09:54:11 2005] [error] [client 208.251.242.95] Premature end >> of >> script headers: mapserv40.exe, referer: >> http://solo.veritime.com/workshop/ >> >> When I first installed mapserver, I was having the same problem even when >> I >> ran mapserv.exe without any options.

I have converted a TIGER set into a shapefile and the used the JUMP program to make adjustments and fill in missing data. Obviously this is not practical if you need to serve many counties, but on a "retail" basis this approach works, at least until you get new street data. I have found that the quality of the TIGER data varies from fairly good ("good enough for government work" ?) to fair, depending on the region. The new release of TIGER data will be improved but obviously won't be happening immediately.

I've got a layer in my map file that I'm grabbing from terraservice, and it's mostly working great. However, when I overlay some Tiger/Line street data over the terraserver image, things aren't quite lining up. It's very, very close, but just slightly offset when zoomed in (maybe by 20-50 feet). My map file, the terraservice layer, and the tiger/line data are all projected as EPSG:4326, so I don't think it's a projection issue. Has anyone else experienced any issues mixing these two data sets? Is it possible to 'tweak' a layer so that it's offset by a short distance? I know about the 'offset' parameters for styles, but those only take units of pixels (which will look good at some zoom levels, but not others...)

I was able to work with all of the first examples, but I started getting the "premature script header: mapserv" errors when I got to example 2-1. If I use the shp2img program to try to create a map from the .map files, I find that it also works up through example 1-8, but if I try it on example 2-1 it crashes (I get a windows pop up box saying that the program has encountered a problem and needs to close whether I run the mapserv cgi or I run shp2img on the mapfile). Running the mapserv CGI leaves the "premature script header" error in my web logs, running shp2img gives me no further error message. I'm posting the two map files, one working, one not working... maybe somebody has an idea of what is causing the crash and how I might fix it... The map files are exactly out of the tutorials with the exception of changing some pathnames to match my system's web root, etc. Thanks so much for any suggestions, and thanks for the suggetions you've all already offered.

The resolution on the float .12f on the map cell size when reprojecting was not working for us.,. we had to increase resolution..and then recompile mapserver...and the white bar went away...

But you will need to show us what you are doing if you want meaningful feedback. Do you have 8bit rasters working? Normally if you have pseudocolored input rasters working then 24bit should work directly though you might find you need to tweak things to get good quality output.

When I asked before I was attempting to contrast issues between a 24bit GeoTIFF and an 8bit GeoTIFF. Of course, a 24bit GeoTIFF is really just a 3 band 8bit geotiff but that isn't exactly what I meant. > - I tried it on a Windows2000 machine, as well now on a Linux. > - Don't know if the GDAL libs have been installed on the Linux machine > -- I guess so.

The OpenEV_FW install is self contained, and does not attempt to install GDAL libraries in "system locations". In any event, having the GDAL libraries installed wouldn't help if you had built MapServer without GDAL support. > - Anyway, are there other libs necessary if I display GeoTIFFs and > "normal" TIFFs with a Worldfile? Cause that works. There are two general methods for displaying GeoTIFF input files in MapServer. The "builtin" method which only works for 8bit pseudocolored (or greyscale) files. This supports world files for georeferencing, but not geotiff tags (I think). The other way is using GDAL support in MapServer. This supports a wide variety of GeoTIFF file types and is the preferred approach now days.

Steve, I would also encourage use of "real" profiling tools like gprof on Linux or even the old approach of breaking in the debugger to see where the time is spent (if you have cases that take long enough to do this a few times.). I used gprof on shp2img last fall and learned all sorts of interesting things about the performance characterstics of a case I was optimizing (mostly OGR issues really). Of course, these techniques would be hard for a non-developer to interprete.

I have a lot of questions that I'm having trouble finding answers to. Some of these answers may be on the website, but a lot of things are spread around and I'm not always sure where to find them so just a pointer in the right direction to find the answers I seek may be enough... Anyway, just a few questions for now. First of all, does it matter what projection I use for my maps, as long as I am consistant? I've created a very basic michigan map using shapefile layers, but it appears to be "tilted" a bit.... is this because of my projection, or is there another reason for it? (http://solo.veritime.com/cgi-bin/mapserv40.exe?map=c:/program+files/apache+group/apache2/htdocs/map/map.map&mode=browse) How do I determine the proper extents? I would like to make my map of michigan fill the entire viewing area, but as I've tried changing the extents it just shifts the map around without "enlarging". When I used the ogrinfo program to try to get the extents , it gave me numbers that looked like longitude and latitude values rather than "meters" like the extents I was using were using (I basically modified one of the tutorial files to get my own map and started with the extents they had used). If extents are in "meters"... what does that mean? Where are you measuring from? "meters" only gives a size, not a location like longitude/latitude would give so I'm not exactly sure what it means to express the extents in "meters".

The projection defines the math that essentially is happening when you unroll a sphere onto a flat piece of paper (your image in this case). There are lots of projections and they have lots on interesting properties beside how they look on the screen. Mapserver supports both input and output projection. The projection block in the MAP section of you mapfile is the output projection and your mapfile extents should be in this projection space as should your UNITS. Within a LAYER block the project should be that of your data. If the input and output projection are the same then it is basically a NOOP otherwise the data is transformed on the fly. If you are looking for high performance then you should try to get all your data files reprojected to the output projection so you minimize the CPU cycles on every map draw. It is not required, and simpler to let mapserver do the re-projection on the fly if performance is not an issue. > I've created a very basic michigan map using shapefile layers, but it > appears to be "tilted" a bit.... is this because of my projection, or is > there another reason for it? > (http://solo.veritime.com/cgi-bin/mapserv40.exe?map=c:/program+files/apache+group/apache2/htdocs/map/map.map&mode=browse) This is probably because of the projection. > > How do I determine the proper extents?

Many projection use meters of feet as their UNITS. This is because they define a horizontal and vertical reference line and then these are distance off the reference lines. If your data is in lat/long, then you UNITS should be DD and your EXTENTS should be in lat,long. Don't forget that mapserver uses X,Y which is equivalent to LONG, LAT, not lat/long. To find out the extents of a shapefile use a utility like shpdump, if you want to see the attributes then use dbfdump. I think you can do the same with ogrinfo utility also. > Sorry to post so many newbie type questions to this list where I see so > many > questions that are much more advanced but hopefully I can get up this > learning curve as quickly as possible :) > > Thanks in advance, > Jeff > From fwarmerdam at GMAIL.COM Wed Jan 5 14:00:16 2005 From: fwarmerdam at GMAIL.COM (Frank Warmerdam) Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 17:00:16 -0500 Subject: projection parameters?

Is your overall map display going to be in UTM as well, or are you needing MapServer to reproject to lat/long? The most common problems are mixups in the coordinates (for instance, using lat/long angular values when UTM values should be used or vice versa), but more generally you need to examine the extents of your datasets fairly carefully. If you know the bounds in UTM of a dataset, you can reproject it to lat/long with the proj.exe program (part of PROJ.4 ... not always distributed wtih MapServer though). eg. proj -I +proj=utm +zone=11 +datum=NAD27 << EOF ? 400000 3700000 ?

Hi Merlijn, I don't think this is the problem, in my testcase I have the exact same situation and it works fine. What happens if you create two identical layers using a different name, and first check if one the layer definitions works? Does it crash then as well? What's your environment (Windows/Linux) and are you using pre-compiled binaries or your own binaries?

I believe that can be a SQL error, directly in Oracle. Sometimes one recursive sql or table definitions can generate this problems, you can recreate the index or renew the statistics. But can be a error with spatial index, did you created the spatial index for this table? I believe that yes. How you defined the spatial index? How you imported this data for database, sqlldr? You can see the internal SQL defining a wrong data string. You can change "GEOM FROM LOCATIE USING UNIQUE LOCATIE_ID SRID 90112" to DATA "GEO FROM LOCATIE USING UNIQUE LOCATIE_ID SRID 90112". Using this the mapserver/maporaclesptial in cgi mode generate one output with the problem and return the internal sql. And after this you can use this SQl in sqlplus to test. Another way can be using subselect for data string, you can do this, change: "GEOM FROM LOCATIE USING UNIQUE LOCATIE_ID SRID 90112" to: "GEOM FROM (SELECT GEOM, LOCATIE_ID, LOCATIESOORT_ID FROM LOCATIE) USING UNIQUE LOCATIE_ID SRID 90112" or defining your filter directly in your subselect: "GEOM FROM (SELECT GEOM, LOCATIE_ID, LOCATIESOORT_ID FROM LOCATIE WHERE LOCATIESOORT_ID = 1) USING UNIQUE LOCATIE_ID SRID 90112". Or for more security: "GEOM FROM (SELECT GEOM AS GEOM, LOCATIE_ID AS LOCATIE_ID, LOCATIESOORT_ID AS LOCATIESOORT_ID FROM LOCATIE) USING UNIQUE LOCATIE_ID SRID 90112" I believe that can be a oracle problem but can you test this hints?

In SQLPlus all queries do give the right result. What I discovered is that sometimes I can get more than one layer from oracle, but not always. At one moment I did get a map when I commented out the NAME attribute in the CLASS item???!! I don't suppose the CLASS item has anything to do with the connection, but all these strange things don't happen when I use OGR to connect to Oracle. I write the geometries Oracle myself, can it have anything to do with that? The GTYPE is a COLLECTION because points, lines and polygons are all written in the same table. The FILTER in my layer only returns one GTYPE This is how I make the Index in Oracle: CREATE INDEX X_LOCATIE_GEOM ON LOCATIE (GEOM) INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.SPATIAL_INDEX PARAMETERS (' SDO_INDX_DIMS=2 LAYER_GTYPE="COLLECTION" SDO_COMMIT_INTERVAL=100 TABLESPACE=FENF_INDEX'); Kind regards, Merlijn From solo6259 at YAHOO.COM Thu Jan 6 04:59:18 2005 From: solo6259 at YAHOO.COM (Solomon Maina Thuo) Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2005 06:59:18 -0600 Subject: oraclespatial connection Message-ID: hi am getting problems getting layers from oracle 9i r2 db. i've installed mapserver and compiled it against the client libraries on a redhat linux 9i box.the mapserver is working ok and can run all the demos and also i don't have problem drawing layers from shapefiles. the problem comes when i try to connect to the oraclespatial in the native way without using ogr. am getting msOCIConnect() in msOracleSpatialLayerOpen() error. does anyone know how to solve this? may be how to set variables in the apache httpd.conf or something better which could help me. or do i have to use ogr? thanks in advance solomon From woodbri at SWOODBRIDGE.COM Thu Jan 6 07:16:40 2005 From: woodbri at SWOODBRIDGE.COM (Stephen Woodbridge) Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2005 10:16:40 -0500 Subject: [Fwd: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Questions] Message-ID: Please send follow up questions back to the list.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I'm not sure the information you're looking for as to either the theory or the actual code for doing it ... but I do link (sorta) to external data in a PostgreSQL database. I'm going on the assumption you're looking for the theory behind this. So: Take, for example, a houses layer. The layer only needs a field that uniquely identifies each record; say an auto-increment integer. Now maybe you have a table in the database that gives the history for a house. Assume there's a record for each year. So one house could have 20, 30, 40+ records for it. Now say you want the history for any building that existed before 1975. All you would have to do is externally (by this I mean some other means than MapServer ... I do it via Mono / ASP.NET + Npgsql) query the database for "year < 1975" Now just include the unique ID in the output and you can link into MapServer (of course the history table needs the unique identifier from the houses layer). From here it's an easy query in MapServer. In PHP it looks like: $layer->queryByAttributes("ID", $bldgId, MS_SINGLE); Viola! -Abe On Jan 6, 2005, at 2:35 PM, Kevin Grootendorst wrote: > On Wed, 22 Sep 2004 16:14:52 -0400, William Bulley > wrote: > >> 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... >> >> -- >> William Bulley Email: web at umich.edu > > William, > I too am interested in learning how to query tabular data from MySQl > and > present it in MapServer.

As far as I know, a "shapefile" is not the .shp file, but the collection of ".shp", ".dbf", "sbx", "sbn", and ".shx" files. I think you'd have to seriously hack the source of mapserver to do that, unless if you created a join on a dbf, and accessed it separately. Why would you not want to join them? If you have access to MS Excel, it would be as simple as copying a column across. No doubt other software can do the same thing. You would have access to both attributes in one shapefile. What is the actual problem that causes you not to want to have two shapefiles, and not to want to join the attributes? regards, Jacob -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: 1/7/2005 9:03 PM Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Assign special dbf to shapefile Hi all, am I able to assign a special dbf-file to a shape file?

Which lines have you added to your apache httpd.conf file? You have to make sure that "C:/ServerRoot/workshop/tmp/" has write permissions. Then check whether files are written to it.

Theoretically, this should not have to do with the mapserv.exe process. When you say "move everything to cgi-bin", do you mean you also create your temporary files there? That would explain it, if you specified write access to cgi-bin. I think the following lines should allow the mapserv.exe process to write to your tmp directory: -------------------------------------------------------- AllowOverride None Options Indexes MultiViews Order allow,deny Allow from all -------------------------------------------------------- (I'm not at work, so I'm making this up.... but I think that's what I put there) Try this, and check whether any files appear in your tmp directory. Also check your apache log (c:/program files/apache group/apache/logs/error.log or something). It may not hurt to add a slash behind your "root" input field value. regards, Jacob -----Original Message----- From: Ante Drnasin To: 'Jacob Delfos' Sent: 1/7/2005 10:12 PM Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Workshop demo problem Hi Jacob!

I'm not sure what you mean by this?I have changed the alias for /cgi-bin/ and added the php instructions but that's irrelevant....what else I have to do? One update on the matter..... If we put the project(.map file and everything else) in cgi-bin directory where mapsrv.exe resides than our example works (havent' tried the workshop example....just wanted to do that)...

So in other words, do two ore more kinds of information need to exist at the same time? Or do the attributes of your shapefile only need to have one particular value at a time? If you only need to have one value at a time, I think it would be best if you used PHP to access the DBF, and wrote the values to the DBF, without renaming the DBF, and without trying to associate the .shp file with a different DBF. Depending on how many different 'versions' of the shapefile you need to have at the same time, you could create X amount of copies of the shapefiles, and change the associated DBF's at runtime, without having to create more .shp files. Accessing DBF's with PHP is very easy.

There are no functions in it to create mapping objects (layers, classes). We use SWIG to generate shared libraries for specific languages that contain the mapping objects.

You might be able to do something with gdal, but I think it is very slow. I have requested support for runtime shapefile joins to either DBF or MySQL multiple times and nothing has happened in that direction. Basically, it would be very slow because for each object in the shapefile, you would have to scan the whole DBF file, because there are no indexes support for DBF files, or the developers would have to build DBF indexing support into mapserver. For Mysql, you could index the columns, but you would still need to make a separate query for every object in the shapefile. In PostGIS, since you have all the data in the database to start with you can make one query for the layer and do the join in that query, then you only have to fetch back the objects to render. -Steve W.

Now I want to create a UNIX MapServer environment and I am using Red Hat Enterprise v3. I have reached the point of compiling MapServer itself and I use the following configure options: sudo ./configure --with-proj --with-php=/usr/include/php Everything seems to work fine, and 'configure' locates all the required, and my requested, optional components (many of which I compiled instead of using RPMs). Then I do a 'make' and it looks like it works but when I try to execute the mapserv binary I get: [claero at cw2000 mapserver-4.4.1]$ ./mapserv ./mapserv: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The documentation says that 'something has gone horribly wrong' and to email this group. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As I wrote recently, I have written some code to pass pixel values from a user-selected rectangle to Zoomrectangle. Sean Gillies made changes to the Python Mapscript code to handle pixel values and make the appropriate conversions (with an additional flag to the rectObj constructor). He also suggested a workaround for the older Mapscript version that I am using. It involved directly assigning pixel values to a rectObj: #pixel values passed in x_min=289 (left) y_min=78 (top) x_max=450 (right) y_max=201 (bottom) zoomRect=mapscript.rectObj() zoomRect.minx, zoomRect.miny, zoomRect.maxx, zoomRect.maxy= (minx,maxy,maxx,miny) self.mapObj.zoomRectanlge(rectObj, width, height, rectObj, rectObj) This solution worked well for maps in a UTM coordinate system with a "normal" cartesian layout (e.g. x increases to the right, y increases to the north). However, my current map is in geographic coordinates with approximate borders north=44N south=27N west=125W (or -125) east=93W (or -93) - e.g. x values increase to the left. The same code that worked with UTM's is not working with Geographic coords. Hence my interest on a workaround for this particular problem, or whether it would be easier to upgrade the version of Mapscript.

The first two lines above should be written as zoomRect = mapscript.rectObj(x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max) With MapServer 4.4, because of the added rectObj extent checking, you will need to add a imageunits flag as the 5th argument to rectObj zoomRect = mapscript.rectObj(x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max, 1) See the API reference: http://users.frii.com/sgillies/projects/mapscript/ mapscript.html#rectobj > This solution worked well for maps in a UTM coordinate system with a > "normal" cartesian layout (e.g. x increases to the right, y increases > to > the north).

If you were using Python mapscript you could also use the Python shapelib module or OGR's Python module.

Every other change should be in there, and I don't recall any others that will break Python/Perl/etc scripts. We take that seriously. I don't think that the PHP mapscript usage has changed at all.

Now i want to map SF1&SF3 data which is in my mysql database onto this shape file and i want generate maps based on this data. as i mailed earlier i shp2mysql.pl is giving errors for me, so i replaced use Shape with use Geo::ShapeFile, then it worked but just gave me two empty tables. Can anybody help me working with shape files with mysql. Is there any way to create a single shape object dynamically(by reading shape file) and map that to mysql data? thank you, shashi.

I have tried to display the content of a NetCDF .nc file with MAPSERVER. The DODS seems to work: If I am using ogrinfo with appropriate parameters on DODS:http//..allnetworkstuff..file.nc?Depth[1,1,10][1,1,1] (or was it Depth[1:1:10][1:1:10] ? Sorry, I cannot remember at the moment) I see the following kind of output for the 10 items I requested: lat .... some_value_lat lon .... some_value_lon Depth .... some_value_depth POINT (some_value_lon some_value_lat) Now, my ideas was to display the depth chart via mapserver. The only examples I found have lines of code like these: CONNECTION ....(like the input for ogrinfo, but with 1000 times 1000 values) TYPE POINT DATA "Depth" CLASS COLOR 255 0 0 END All I see in the web browser (after putting the correct latlong values into the map file to view the area the latlong values specify in the NetCDF file) is then a rectangular area filled with red points. That makes me believe that in principle the connection, the .nc NetCDF file and the map file are ok. My QUESTION: How can I plot an image (color coded depth values) with this method? It would be great if anyone could help me here(e.g. some example code)!

JOIN works fine with queries. I have all the tiger data in shapefile (16 GB of data) and all of the Census Summary File 1 and 3 data in MySQL (101 GB, plus a lot more for indexes). I would like to draw thematic maps of the US based on these datasets. Moving all this data to PostGIS, is possible but a huge task, not to mention I would have to learn a new DB and how to administer it. I will probably end up doing this at some point when the need is higher. Meanwhile, this is basically what others are trying to do also. It is just a HUGE step to move from shapefiles and MySQL to managing everything in PostGIS.

There are many of us who will be glad to help you out. Another better possibility is trying to light a fire under the MapServer/MySQL developer so that you can move your shapes into MySQL. I'm not even talking about a PostGIS-ish library for MySQL, just putting features in as a blob that can be extracted and converted to MapServer shapes for rendering, and spatial indexes.

JOIN works fine with queries. What would be nice to have is a 'virtual' query that would render a 'virtual' data set. We have the GDAL ".vrt" data mechanism what is missing is the equivalant 'query' mechanism to create these dynamically from something only the developer of the site knows about. Of course there is always mapscript which allows you to do this and *much* more :-) Cheers Norman From siki at AGT.BME.HU Fri Jan 7 14:56:05 2005 From: siki at AGT.BME.HU (Siki Zoltan) Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2005 21:56:05 -0100 Subject: Labels Not Displayed {Scanned} In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hi, Try to change TYPE LINE to TYPE ANNOTATION.

In this intranet solution I can't define an upper bound of shapefile copies, because users can query in parallel or view more than one map at the same time. Thanks for your suggestion.

If you have enough memory, you can extract all additional data from the external database and build a map from the Join-Value of this query to the whole data row. Then you will be able to iterate through the shape-dbf, looking for the data row by using the main memory index and write the complete row (shape-data and query-data) to a new dbf. Thanks for your suggestion, I think it would be the only way to join the external data sources without copying the shape files. But I will have a look at the mapscript sources. Maybe I can do a "Layer->setDBF(filename)" or something like that. HolgeR Stephen Woodbridge schrieb: > The only way that I know of to do runtime joins in mapserver is to use > PostGIS.

You should check out OGR joins: http://gdal.maptools.org/ogr/ogr_sql.html The OGR join allows you to classify and label from the joined data, but fields in the joined table can not be used in queries. Syntax looks something like this: DATA "SELECT * FROM shapeFile LEFT JOIN 'dbfFile.dbf'.listing ON shapeFile.id = dbfFile.id" It is very slow without indexes, but OGR does support indexes, e.g. ogrinfo -ro dbfFile -sql "create index on listing using id" Even with indexes, a large table may be to slow, so I would recommend postgis for larger tables.

Eddie, Cool, I think you are past the hard part at least. > My QUESTION: > How can I plot an image (color coded depth values) with this method? > > It would be great if anyone could help me here(e.g. some example code)! You will need to make a CLASS declaration for each color you want in your color ramp, classified on the basis of your depth variable. Lots of CLASSes like this: CLASS NAME "10 - 20" EXPRESSION "([DEPTH] > 10 and [DEPTH] < 20)" COLOR 0 0 255 END Unfortunately, there isn't really any mechanism in MapServer to color features based on a colorbar using some attribute scaled to the color bar. Hopefully that can be added at some point. PS. Don't exactly trust what I have typed. I haven't tried this too recently. But it should give you an idea and you can dig around in the mapfile reference and other examples for additional details.

Not at all, you shoud put your map file somewhere else.

Shashi, I believe shp2mysql.pl is intended to be used to load shapefile data Into mysql. If your data is already in mysql you should already be able to map it using your preferred mapscript flavor.

Thanks to all the MapServer Developers and Users. Currently, we are using WMS server to deliver vector layers as PNG images. Now, we are planning to extend the server functionality by delivering Raster?layers(GeoTiff) as PNG images. Currently, in our system we have around 600 geotiff images. In our standalone system, We search the database everytime with the current map extent and display a list of images covering the current extent. When the user selects an image, that image will be displayed on the map window. This is how we implemented our system. The map file contains a raster layer with DATA field set dynamically (using PHP/Mapscript) with the image name. We would like to do the same for WMS server, that is, when the client requests a raster layer using a bounding box in the URL, the most recent image which covers the requested bounding box should be searched in the database and returned to the client as PNG. My concerns are: 1. How do we set the raster layer in map file for WMS server and dynamically fill in the DATA field with the exact image name (out of 600 images) covering the bounding box? 2. Can we use Mapserver to do this, or do we have to write a custom program to read the WMS client's URL, manually search the database, Cut the image for the requested bounding box, convert the image into PNG and send it to the client ? Any suggestions or information is greatly appreciated. Thank You very much in advance.

Use a TILEINDEX layer if you have a set of rasters each covering a separate area but form a single logical layer (USGS 1:250k topos for example). With a TILEINDEX Mapserver will automatically select the rasters covering the current map extent as the user pans and zooms. If your rasters cover the same area but represent different times (e.g. satellite images of Minot from 2000 to 2004), things are more complicated when it comes to WMS. In your original email you mentioned "the most recent image" so I wasn't sure how important time was in your implementation...

Thanks to all the MapServer Developers and Users. Currently, we are using WMS server to deliver vector layers as PNG images. Now, we are planning to extend the server functionality by delivering Raster layers(GeoTiff) as PNG images. Currently, in our system we have around 600 geotiff images. In our standalone system, We search the database everytime with the current map extent and display a list of images covering the current extent. When the user selects an image, that image will be displayed on the map window. This is how we implemented our system. The map file contains a raster layer with DATA field set dynamically (using PHP/Mapscript) with the image name. We would like to do the same for WMS server, that is, when the client requests a raster layer using a bounding box in the URL, the most recent image which covers the requested bounding box should be searched in the database and returned to the client as PNG. My concerns are: 1. How do we set the raster layer in map file for WMS server and dynamically fill in the DATA field with the exact image name (out of 600 images) covering the bounding box? 2. Can we use Mapserver to do this, or do we have to write a custom program to read the WMS client's URL, manually search the database, Cut the image for the requested bounding box, convert the image into PNG and send it to the client ? Any suggestions or information is greatly appreciated. Thank You very much in advance.

You don't have to use mapscript to change the data source. If you do this, then the wms works the same way and you never need to edit the data source for the layer, it just works. Also you don't need to maintain a database either. You might already know this, and have implemented your scheme for other reasons, but it just seems like what you are trying to do is already implemented in mapserver and is simpler to do than reimplementing wms requests on top of mapserver that already supports this. My good friend, Ed at Topozone has over 250,000 geotiff that he is serving with mapserver in this way. :) -Steve Ganesh P wrote: > Hello everyone, > > We have been successfully using Mapserver(PHP/Mapscript) for WMS client > and Server and everything is working fine.

Message-ID: I'm just learning how to use mapscript for displaying my maps, and I am trying to figure out how you would access the attribute data in your shapefiles? I have a layer of roads, and I'm using the Tiger data which has fields for street names, address ranges, and zipcodes. Eventually what I'd like to do is to be able to read a list of addresses and place a marker on the map at each of those addresses. I'm not exactly sure how to do that even when I learn how to access the data.... there was some code posted to this list sometime back for getting the coordinates of a street address and I could possibly use that, but it requires a specific set of fields to be present in the shape file and I'd have to do some manipulation of the fields I actually have to use that code and that might be just as tricky as writing the code myself :) Thanks for any pointers, Jeff From woodbri at SWOODBRIDGE.COM Mon Jan 10 14:05:22 2005 From: woodbri at SWOODBRIDGE.COM (Stephen Woodbridge) Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2005 17:05:22 -0500 Subject: Performance Tuning a Mapfile Message-ID: Sorry for the cross posting to the Dev list, but I think this is a topic that needs to be highlight there also. So I am back to trying to do some performance tuning of my mapfiles. On my layer post someone suggested using DEBUG ON. I think this is or a similar mapfile option is the correct approach. Unfortunately, on Mapserver 4.01, DEBUG ON was less than helpful. I only got a single line: Mon Jan 10 14:57:21 2005,3687,192.168.1.211,north_america_v40,3,-71.460613 42.571728 -71.317747 42.666972,-71.389180 42.619350,all ,normal execution I turned on layer in the MAP .. END block and in every LAYER .. END block but only got the above single line for a map drawn. So adding DEBUG ON to the layers gave me no additional information about the layer. In fact, when I got a parse error in the mapfile I did not get a record in the logfile. This is a fairly old version of mapserver and maybe this has changed in the newer versions, may be not. At any rate, here is what I would like to see: 1) execution time(s) for every block the has DEBUG ON, so if I only have it in the MAP block I only get a summary, if I have it in a LAYER block than I get detailed stats about that layer. 2) number of connections/shapefiles opened by block 3) number of objects drawn by block, maybe also the number of objects scanned and not drawn 4) the map scale as drawn With these basic stats, it would be easy for us to make changes to the mapfile and evaluate the impact of the changes. Why these stats? Well time is somewhat obvious, we need to identify what is taking up time. Connections or shapefiles opened will tell us how well our data is organized and how our tileindexes are working or not. And finally, the number of object that are being drawn, may tell us where we might want to thin out the detail, and scale helps us relate it to our mapfile since it works based on MIN/MAXSCALE. I would be happy to have additional stats also if you think there are others that would help with performance tuning. Output formats! Ideally it should be easy to parse the log file with Perl. I don't have a problem with multiple lines as ling as there a unique id the tie the lines together, like date, uid, "map", map_name, bbox, scale, exec_time, etc date, uid, "layer", layer_number, layer_name, exec_time, files, objects I will follow up by creating a bug with this same request. By the way, I have been running siege and bombard ( http://www.joedog.org/siege/ ) to stress test my servers and evaluate performance at each zoom scale for all my mapfiles. Now that I know where my problems lie, I am trying to fix them, but I am finding it is really hard to know what is causing the performance issues or even which of my 100 layers are causing it. It is really dumb, but I now have to guess which layers might be the problem and delete a layer at a time, run a 10-20 min stress test and repeat for all suspect layers to see which ones are cause what type of impact. If I had the logging tools above, I could run a stress test, summarize it with Perl and know exactly what layer(s) need to be focused on. -Steve From sgillies at FRII.COM Mon Jan 10 14:13:46 2005 From: sgillies at FRII.COM (Sean Gillies) Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2005 15:13:46 -0700 Subject: Performance Tuning a Mapfile In-Reply-To: Message-ID: On Jan 10, 2005, at 3:05 PM, Stephen Woodbridge wrote: > Sorry for the cross posting to the Dev list, but I think this is a > topic > that needs to be highlight there also. > > So I am back to trying to do some performance tuning of my mapfiles.

I'm sorta against this, because there are better ways to do it: gprof for mapserv, or write a Python (or whatever) script to draw your map and call it with profile.run() (or whatever).

Sean, I thought it might have been you but didn't want to give the wrong attribution :) Any way there is a bug on this #882 and I added my comments to that. I will definitely get a new version of mapserver for my dev environment just so I can test this. gprof is great if you are a programmer and you want to improve your code, but if you are just a mapfile developer is will not be all the helpful. For example, there is no way to get the cost on a per layer basis, there is not way to get a count of the number of files opened, or the number of objects rendered, or the number of objects scanned but not rendered, let alone do that on a per layer basis. I develop code in C, Perl, PHP and other languages and what I need it stats, not another opportunity to write more code :) I way to big a backlog of projects I'm not working on. Also remember that some of our users that are having trouble just building a mapfile, will need to evaluate performance if they push it into any kind of high load production environment. OK, off to download 4.4 and see what kind of good stuff it has :) Thanks again for your suggestions and comments. -Steve W.

We have a polygon shapefile with 4800 objects (POLY4800.SHP). We run non-spatial queries against the shape file using an in-house, multi- user software application and write the query scores to mySQL 4.x tables. We extract request_id, object_id and query_score from the mySQL tables and append to a mySQL table for mapping purposes (tbl_results_mapping.myd). tbl_results_mapping.myd is indexed on request_id and indexed on object_id). We need to display the shapefile in MapServ 4.1 symbolized by query_score and filtered by request_id. I see this problem as a simple 1:1 table join. The work is distributed across two servers: Server1: WinXP/IIS/MapServ 4.1 (supports WMS/WFS) Server2: WinXP/IIS/mySQL 4.0 (basic mySQL, no spatial extensions) So far: ### CASE 1 ################################################################## ### This mapfile code works but takes 15+ seconds to refresh the map ### Connectiontype OGR CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "POLY4800.shp" DATA "SELECT * FROM POLY4800 LEFT JOIN 'odbc:hmomap'.tbl_results_mapping ON POLY4800.OBJECTID = tbl_results_mapping.object_id" ### CASE 2 ################################################################## ### This mapfile code executes but fails to apply the WHERE clause ### Connectiontype OGR CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "POLY4800.shp" DATA "SELECT * FROM POLY4800 LEFT JOIN 'odbc:hmomap'.tbl_results_mapping ON POLY4800.OBJECTID = tbl_results_mapping.object_id WHERE tbl_results_mapping.request_id = 2" ### CASE 3 ################################################################## ### This mapfile code executes and might draw faster for small extents but ### still too slow; WHERE clause not working ### Connectiontype WFS/OGR CONNECTIONTYPE WFS CONNECTION "http://127.0.0.1/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=wfs.map" wfs.map for CASE 3 CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "POLY4800.shp" DATA "SELECT * FROM POLY4800 LEFT JOIN 'odbc:hmomap'.tbl_results_mapping ON POLY4800.OBJECTID = tbl_results_mapping.object_id WHERE tbl_results_mapping.request_id = 2" CLASS COLOR 255 0 255 END Can you suggest a way to optimize this system ?

I wasn't too sure how this would work myself, so I reviewed the OGR SQL docs at: http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_sql.html Unfortunately, one of the caveats is that WHERE clauses may not refer to fields in the joined table. This is an issue with the OGR SQL interpreter, not SQL in general. In fact, I am a bit surprised it does not trigger an error. I guess the feature has a NULL field value for the joined fields at the point where the WHERE clause is interpreted. I could *in theory* modify the OGR SQL interpreter to try re-evaluate the WHERE clause after loading the features but this won't make things any faster and it would be somewhat tough to implement. I would add that this sort of sophisticated SQL functionality may never be all that efficiently implemented in OGR SQL. I'm afraid for a good solution you might be better looking at moving everything into a spatial RDBMS or otherwise pre-preparing the data for fast use. Time to take my son to swimming ... so I'll cut my comments there.

Roger) Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 13:16:51 +1100 Subject: Four Color Theorem Message-ID: I have used a program to "four-colour" a map. You need to be a bit careful. The State of New South Wales in Australia has about 7500 parishes (for land administration purposes), and I wanted to colour a GIS data set representing them. The program I used first does a swift greedy pass generating an approximate solution (this took about 30 seconds on a Sun Ultra 2 with 167 MHz processor, showing how long ago I tried this). I thought I'd see how long it would take to generate the full four-colour solution - in the end, I killed the process after about 3 weeks :-) Camden, you're right about needing a table showing which polygons border each other. My base data set was in an ESRI Arc coverage format, which meant I could generate and unload the Polygon Adjacency information (using the "palinfo" command). I had to sort and remove duplicates and adjust polygon numbers to eliminate the universal polygon. I ran this through the four-colouring program, and ended up with a table listing polygon numbers with a colour for each polygon (as an integer). I then joined this back to the original coverage's attribute data. For the four-colouring program, I used Michael Trick's "trick.c" program from http://mat.gsia.cmu.edu/COLOR/solvers/ . (Professor Trick is at Carnegie Mellon University. For further information, I'd suggest having a look at his home page (http://mat.gsia.cmu.edu/trick/), and at the operations research site (www.informs.org) .) You might also like to look at Professor Joseph Culberson's page at the University of Alberta (http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~joe/). In summary, I wouldn't try doing this for large data sets, and I would not do it dynamically - add the colouring beforehand via an attribute. And consider just doing the initial swift greedy pass to get an approximate solution - it might be good enough for your purposes. Finally, does anyone have a program to compute the polygon adjacency information for polygons in a shapefile ? Cheers Richard E. Roger Dr. R. E.

I forget is the county boundary polygons use the same unique segment ids in adjacent counties or if there is a duplicate segment with a different unique id. If the later is the case, you can detect if a segment is a county boundary, and then you would have to match cloned segment in the adjacent county by its coordinates.

This can be found in the Wiki at: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpatialData The examples talk about accessing the table via ODBC but in your case you can just specify the path to the .dbf file in your . Skip over the ODBC related stuff and go to the part about creating a virtual data source. You will need a MapServer with OGR support built in. I believe most of the distributed binary builds include OGR.

In-Reply-To: <008601c4f75a$e5189f90$5ff2fbd0@solo> Message-ID: In order to show addresses on your map, you're going to need to use geocoding (which is not a part of mapserver). The best module I've found so far for that is the perl module Geo::Coder::US. You'll need to download it from CPAN and get it running first. Secondly, you'll need a database for your geocoding. This database can be built from tiger data, but it is very very large and it takes a long time to construct. It's probably best to just grab the files you need for your particular area. You can get the tiger data files you need here: http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/tgrcd108/ Once you have them, you don't need to unzip them. Just use the import_tiger_zip.pl script that came with the Geo::Coder::US source. Use the command "perl import_tiger_zip.pl geocoder.db *.zip" to construct a database named geocoder.db from all of the zip files. This process can take a very, very long time. (I don't know how to do this in windows, but that's how you can do it in linux). Now, if you're using PHP mapscript, you'll need a way for PHP to talk to Perl. The best way I've found is via the command line on a linux box. I wrote a little helper Perl script called geocode.pl that looks like this: ==================================== #!/usr/bin/perl use Geo::Coder::US; Geo::Coder::US->set_db( "/web_system/data/tiger/geocoder.db" ); my $address = $ARGV[0]; my ($return) = Geo::Coder::US->geocode( $address ); print $return->{lat}; print "\n"; print $return->{long}; print "\n"; ===================================== Then, in my PHP, I geocode addresses like this: ($address holds the address string I'm geocoding) ===================================== exec("/web_system/geocode.pl \"$address\"", $results); $latitude = $results[0]; $longitude = $results[1]; ===================================== That should get you started. Once you have the $latitude and $longitude values for each address, you can plot them out as points on your map. This is really a very simple implementation of the Geo::Coder::US module that doesn't take into account some of it's more advanced features, but it's a good enough start. -Camden On Mon, 10 Jan 2005 16:25:23 -0500, Jeff Portwine wrote: > I'm just learning how to use mapscript for displaying my maps, and I am > trying to figure out how you would access the attribute data in your > shapefiles?

You may also be able to do it with by placing your table in WKT or GML format, importing it into JUMP Workbench (free GIS software from www.vividsolutions.com) ... and saving the dataset as a shapefile.

Drew, Hopefully someone else can provide a more comprehensive answer, but I believe the problem is that the shapeObj (the internal geometry object for MapServer) does not support the full OGC simple feature model. So if MULTIPOLYGONS are read from something like OGR they are turned into shapeObjs with a ring for each ring in each of the original polygons in the multipolygon, but all distinctions about which polygon the ring came from, or even which rings are exterior rings are lost. Then when the WFS server creates the GML it just creates a simple POLYGON geometry even though it consists of multiple distinct polygons. For MapServer rendering purposes, there is no need for the full OGC geometry model. The simplification only causes problems for stuff like WFS serving. We see a somewhat similar issue with WFS attributes as shapeObj attributes are typeless.

On the other hand, if you just have mapserver label the polygon it will place the label on the polygon, only you don't have a lot of control where. Another thing you could do is compute the average lat/long of the polygon points which will give you something like a centroid, but this is not garraunteed to be on the polygon, think of a polygon like the letter "C", and it will be floating inside the "C" but not on the "C". -Steve W.

Your web site is highly informative on the subject of python_mapscript. I am not experienced in python, so additional examples will be useful for me. I dealt with php_mapscript. But for better performance, I want to try python . I want to know your idea about how you compare python with php. kind regards Ahmet Temiz ______________________________________ XamimeLT - installed on mailserver for domain @deprem.gov.tr Queries to: postmaster at deprem.gov.tr ______________________________________ The views and opinions expressed in this e-mail message are the sender's own and do not necessarily represent the views and the opinions of Earthquake Research Dept. of General Directorate of Disaster Affairs.

They indicated that they focus there attention on making sure that PHP is bullet-proof for 1.3.x. That is what I understood their position to be concerning Apache 2, but that might have changed since the release of PHP 5. Anyway, I don't know if it's an Apache is the cause here, but it might be a contributor. Regards, Bill ________________________________________________ William A. Bronsema, C.E.T.

Message-ID: Thanks very much for the great information and the pointer to this geocoder perl code. I've been able to get it working somewhat, but I have a couple of questions for you. When I trie to use import_tiger_zip.pl I get an error: Bareword "AZ_OK" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at ./import_tiger_zip.pl line 21. Execution of ./import_tiger_zip.pl aborted due to compilation errors. I can unzip the tiger files and use import_tiger.pl, but it *appears* (i'm not 100% sure yet) but it appears that I have to make a separate DB file for each individual tiger file. For example, the state of Michigan Tiger files are broken up into county files... is there anyway to put all of those into a single DB, or do I have to make a DB for each county? It seems like if I import to an existing DB it overwrites the data instead of appending to it.

Python mapscript is not going to be faster than PHP. Most of the work is done by C code that all the mapscript modules share and PHP is unrivaled for serving web pages and imagery that have a relatively small amount of logic behind them. If you are creating larger applications with a web interface you will really benefit from switching to an OO language like Python (or Java, although I think that's going too far :). The code is simple, easy to profile and test, and can take advantage of a lot of excellent modules that are not available for PHP (such as GDAL/OGR and Numeric/SciPy). The only downside of using Python is that there are too many choices of web frameworks, and so expertise and support get a bit diluted. This situation is improving rapidly.

At least that's how it works when given a wildcard argument such as *.zip. I'd imagine the nonzip import_tiger script works the same way. Are you using a wildcard for the files to add to the database?

I have just the straight 2000 data. The files are AltName, CompleteChain, EntityNames, FeatureIDs, IDHistory, Landmarks, OverUnder, PIP, PolyChainLink, Polygon, PolygonEconomic, ZeroCellID, ZipCodes, and ZipPlus4 -- that is, these are dbf, prj, and shp files. I can get the polygons to display just fine -- I can _see_ the lake, and rivers and whatnot are named in CompleteChain, so the rivers get labelled. Polygon doesn't contain name information. Landmarks does contain name information for schools, hospitals, airports, and the like, but does not contain city or lake names. EntityNames contains city names but no geographic data, and I can't figure out how to join it to anything containing geographic data. --Colin McGuigan From fwarmerdam at GMAIL.COM Wed Jan 12 08:08:09 2005 From: fwarmerdam at GMAIL.COM (Frank Warmerdam) Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2005 11:08:09 -0500 Subject: DEM back drop in MapServer In-Reply-To: <41E54961.3080303@comsine.co.uk> Message-ID: On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 15:59:29 +0000, Norman Barker wrote: > Would there be a way to render this in mapserver natively (so that the > height fields are rendered > by an internal palette) and displayed to the user as a backdrop? > > Or do I have to define the palette myself in an external program and > then use it in MapServer? > > Any help or advice appreciated by anyone else who has created a DEM > backdrop. Norman, First, there are free locations from which you can download GTOPO. No harm in paying for it if you want of course. But the answer to your question is that MapServer does not currently have a means of internally building a color ramp for DEMs other than defining many CLASSes for each descrete color you want. I would suggest pre-processing the file to 8bit externally and externally creating a pallete for the file - if you just need the GTOPO data for display purposes. If you want WCS access, or raster query such an approach might not be appropriate. In that case you could define many classes to give a color ramp effect. 30-40 classes should be sufficient. I would eventually like to implement a mechanism to define a color ramp in MapServer for rasters but that is not likely to happen in the short term.

In other words, if I am zoomed to Ohio, the reference map covering the continetal US is used. If I am zoomed to the Alaskan North Slope, the ref map covering Alaska is used. The projection of the main map varies according to location on the earth. I did not see a way to use a pure mapscript solution for this. So, I used the GD image and drawing functions ((ImageCreateFromPNG, ImagePolygon) to read the appropriate reference map on which I then draw the extents from the main map. My question: Can this be done with mapscript functions? And if so, please give me a hint as how it can be done.

I want to do something sort of like in this demo, http://gissv.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp/hanoi/hanoi.phtml. As you can see they have placed different colored stars around the map... I have small gifs of red and blue circles I'd like to stick at points on my map, and going through the listing of classes and objects I just can't seem to get it. Can anybody possibly post a small example of how this is done? I have the lat/long values for the points I want to mark.

But since It is defined in the specs to have dual way of functionning, you could add this as an enhacement bug and It will be adresses for future releases of Mapserver.

You can't use a relative path in the --with-xerces configure. It has to be an absolute path.

In most cases you want to know the closest feature (e.g. school) within some maximum distance. You can take advantage of that maximum to speed things up a great deal. You can use LAYER tolerance values and the normal queryByPoint methods to do this pretty efficiently. For example, if the tolerance for a school is 5 miles then mapserver uses that value to first do a bounding box filter to find all features that might be within 5 miles (this is really fast if your data is indexed) and then only computes distances to candidate features, ultimately returning the closest. Do the query for each layer you need and your done... ;-) Steve >>> Camden Daily 1/13/2005 10:59:54 AM >>> I'm working on an app in php/mapscript in which I'll need to do some calculations of the distances between a given point (address) and various shapefiles, such as parks, or schools.

As a user selects layers in the legend, they are passed via CGI to the next page reload, and I can script the changes of various flags in the map file before the map image is redrawn.

I started with ogr2ogr to pipe the data directly from the TAB file to PostGIS, which worked fine as I can use Quantum GIS to add the data as a PostGIS layer. However I can't get it to display anything (blank gif) with Mapserver. I am using Apache2 + MapServer 4.4.1(pg) and it appears to be working as I can display the "Hello World. Mapserver rocks." example. When I export the table from MapInfo to MIF the exported file contains: ... CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 33 Bounds (96, -45) (160, -8) ... I also ran OGRINFO which gave me: ... Layer name: QLDPOA_H Geometry: Polygon Feature Count: 405 Extent: (136.440601, -29.177898) - (153.552171, -9.142186) Layer SRS WKT: GEOGCS["unnamed", DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983", SPHEROID["GRS 80",6378137,298.257222101], TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0], UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]] ... I think the map is using long/lat + NAD83. Other information: In PostgreSQL the "spatial_ref_sys" table is empty. The "geometry_columns" table contains: 19745;"''";"public";"qldpoa_h";"the_geom";"2";"-1";"MULTIPOLYGON" The "the_geom" column in my "qldpoa_h" table has SRID=-1 for all rows "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserver/mapserv.exe?map=qldpoa.map&mode=map" My qldpoa.map file looks like this: MAP SIZE 400 400 NAME ABS STATUS ON #EXTENT 136.440601 -29.177898 153.552171 -9.142186 #from ogrinfo EXTENT 98 -45 160 -8 #from MIF UNITS dd #kilometers?

This is not correct (AFAIK), because the map file contains information mapserver uses. It is NOT a script being executed by mapserv.exe. Therefore, if the .map file is requested from the server, depending on how it is requested, it might go wrong. IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 will sometimes throw an inappropriate "page not found" error, if the actual problem is something to do with security. Does your "proj" directory exist? Is it worth checking permissions on that? It might help if you listed the directories you created, and the permissions you set on them. regards, Jacob -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Ed McNierney Sent: 14 January 2005 09:44 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Windows 2003 Standard IIS 6.0 trouble Zach - IIS doesn't "let the file not be found" - it can't find it.

I apologize for the late reply as i was away for a couple of days. Now, i get the point that all the raster layers can be indexed together using GDALTINDEX and using TILEINDEX in the Map file layer. I did the GDALTINDEX on all our raster layers using : gdaltindex sample.shp /usr/images/*.tif It didnot give any errors and created a shape file. I checked the dbf file, and it contains a list of all the raster files. I added a new layer to my map file using the following : Layer ?Name "Mosaic" Type Raster status default Tileindex "/var/www/map/sample.shp" Tileitem "Location" End But, when i enable the layer, it gives me a blank image. I think Mapserver is ignoring this layer. Not sure if i am making a mistake in the layer definition or GDALTINDEX input (with raster images). Regarding the raster images we have, some cover same area and some cover different area with overlaps, and different acquisition dates. Some images have 1 band, some have 3 and some have 7 bands. Also, the images have different projections (UTM 13, 14, 15, 16, ....) and are obtained from different sensors. As a whole the images have different coverages, dates, number of bands and projections. I have a doubt if this is causing the problem. If this is the case, then please suggest me how do i classify my raster images, is it done based on their projection or coverage or number of bands (to run separately on GDALTINDEX)? After grouping the raster images based on some criteria, i have to run GDALTINDEX on each group and add different layers in the map file, is that Correct ?

Use a TILEINDEX layer if you have a set of rasters each covering a separate area but form a single logical layer (USGS 1:250k topos for example).

Ganesh, You will definately need a seperate layer and tile index for each projection for which you have raster files. MapServer uses the projection declaration on the layer to interprete the coordinates from the file, ignoring the coordinate system actually stored in the file. However, it is OK to mix different types of files in one tile index. For instance, different number of bands, dates, etc. Each image that overlays the map area will be rendered in turn according to it's configuration and the layer information. I suspect your main problem is the coordinate systems. Is your map in UTM coordinates? Which zone? If not, you will need to declare the projection for the map as a whole, and the projection for any raster layers.

Hi, I am using GIS on a research project for my studies and I have no background in GIS. I managed to bring lots of data from various sources into MapInfo, but now I want to store all the spatial data centrally in PostreSQL / PostGIS. I started with ogr2ogr to pipe the data directly from the TAB file to PostGIS, which worked fine as I can use Quantum GIS to add the data as a PostGIS layer. However I can't get it to display anything (blank gif) with Mapserver. I am using Apache2 + MapServer 4.4.1(pg) and it appears to be working as I can display the "Hello World. Mapserver rocks." example. When I export the table from MapInfo to MIF the exported file contains: ... CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 33 Bounds (96, -45) (160, -8) ... I also ran OGRINFO which gave me: ... Layer name: QLDPOA_H Geometry: Polygon Feature Count: 405 Extent: (136.440601, -29.177898) - (153.552171, -9.142186) Layer SRS WKT: GEOGCS["unnamed", DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983", SPHEROID["GRS 80",6378137,298.257222101], TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0], UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]] ... I think the map is using long/lat + NAD83. Other information: In PostgreSQL the "spatial_ref_sys" table is empty. The "geometry_columns" table contains: 19745;"''";"public";"qldpoa_h";"the_geom";"2";"-1";"MULTIPOLYGON" The "the_geom" column in my "qldpoa_h" table has SRID=-1 for all rows "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserver/mapserv.exe?map=qldpoa.map&mode=map" My qldpoa.map file looks like this: MAP SIZE 400 400 NAME ABS STATUS ON #EXTENT 136.440601 -29.177898 153.552171 -9.142186 #from ogrinfo EXTENT 98 -45 160 -8 #from MIF UNITS dd #kilometers?

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Peter, In the past I have used "mod_fastcgi-2.4.2-AP20.dll", and renamed it to mod_fastcgi.so. It worked for me, although I don't know if that is the recommended approach. If the file you used is working, then there probably isn't any immediate need to upgrade, although it is usually better to use the latest version. Do you get an error response from MapServer when you request your SDE layers? If there is a problem with your connection information, MapServer will usually return an error message explaining which layer failed and why. If you simply get a blank image back from MapServer, you could have any number of problems. I do recommend a couple changes which will help with SDE performance (once you get it working): 1. Add the following line to the SDE layers in your mapfile. It will give you persistent connections. If you don't do this, you won't get the full benefit of fastCGI. PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER" 2. Remove SDE.DEFAULT from the end of your DATA line. I think if the version is not specified MapServer will assume the default version, and will benefit from certain optimizations.

You find a version that displays a geometry with JavaScript and saves it as WKT in a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database in Mapbender in the cvs: (mod_saveWKT.php) it never left beta http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mapbender/mapbender/http/php/mod_saveWKT.php?rev=1.1&view=log The newest development obtains the geometry from OGC WFS servers, it can read and query any WSF. We are currently extending it to also handle transactional requests and store geometries with GeoServer WFS-T. You can see the WFS version at work here with a UMN MapServer as both WFS and WMS: http://www.mapbender.org/demoserver.html (it still doesn't zoom correctly with MS IE though :-) Without iframe: http://wms1.ccgis.de/mapbender2/frames/login.php?name=ccgis_de&password=ccgis_de&mb_user_myGui=PLZ Best, Arnulf. -- ------------------------ Arnulf B.

Juan, Information on the ESRI World file can be found at: http://geotiff.maptools.org/faq.html#WorldFile1 If you know the top left corner and the pixel size it is easy to make yourself.

Juan, If you want to work with 24bit RGB TIFF or JPEG files you will need to use a MapServer that includes GDAL support. The legacy TIFF and JPEG drivers have some severe limitations which you are running into.

I don't think mapserver contains MPI interfaces. But I have worked with mapserver clustered at a couple of different sites. Typical all request come into a load balancer that then farms the request to one of the servers in the cluster for processing. This can be done by sending a redirect to the browser or by setting up a proxy that forwards the requests to the appropriate server transparent to the client. -Steve From toddbirkey at YAHOO.COM Fri Jan 14 13:03:01 2005 From: toddbirkey at YAHOO.COM (Todd Birkenholtz) Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 13:03:01 -0800 Subject: Pass information from CGI through Map file to OVF file and do a SQL Where Message-ID: Is there any way to pass more information through the CGI URL ?

It seems MapServer disregards everything after (and including) the dot on the DATA name. So, in the example below, I can have "counties.foo" as my DATA and the shape file will still load properly. To answer your questions, "counties" consists of a shp, shx, and dbf. "avalanche" only has a dbf. I have discovered something interesting: In the example below, it seems the JOIN doesn't respond regardless what I place as the TABLE, FROM, and TO.

If you look at the behavior you're getting, it is perfectly consistent and reasonable if you understand what's going on. When you pass a URL to IIS that points to a file, IIS needs to determine whether you would like to retrieve the contents of that file or whether the file should be passed to a script interpreter, or whether the file should be executed like a CGI program. When you changed the permissions to Read and Write, you may have disabled Execute permission. When the next request was made specifying the file, IIS (having been told not to execute it) returned its contents. I don't want you to be using your index.html right now. I am simply trying to get you to successfully execute MapServer as a CGI binary. For example, if you click on the URL below: http://www.geozone.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe you will get an error message that's obviously from MapServer. This will demonstrate that MapServer is being found by IIS and executed properly as a CGI program. Once we get to that point things will get much simpler. You don't need any templates or map files to do this - simply make sure that mapserv.exe is in the right place and set up properly. When you replace the URL above with the path to your mapserv.exe, what message do you get? If your IIS server is externally accessible, please post the URL to your server; otherwise, just let us know what happens when you use a URL exactly like the www.geozone.com URL above. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 ________________________________ From: Zachary Stauber [mailto:zstauber at bhinc.com] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 2:54 PM To: Ed McNierney; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Windows 2003 Standard IIS 6.0 trouble Yes, I do have a virtual directory set up, which I learned from Win2k IIS 6.0.

Win 2003's IIS 6.0 apparently works entirely differently. IIS does find mapserv.exe and won't let it be found, because if I change the permissions on that directory from read to read and write, it lists the contents of the mapserve.exe to the web browser as binary junk. Nice, huh? It's some kind of permissions thing, but without feedback from the web page or a log file, I don't know what's denying it. Greenwood says that Mozilla suppresses less error info, and I can try that from home (unfortunately IE is mandated at the office), and that the user has to have extra permissions for starting up the executable, which is believable. I'm running it from the command prompt as admin, which works fine, but through CGI it runs as WebAdmin, which is much more restricted.

Right now I'm just trying out the Itasca dataset. It's a permissions problem. Does anyone have a vaguely detailed process for setting the permissions or configuring Web Access Extensions or Application Extensions (or whatever hates MapServer so much) so it gets past the top level security junk in IIS 6.0? I have the same version, 4.4.0-beta3 working fine on a Windows XP SP2 machine, with all the files in exactly the same places. The EXE and all DLL's are in C:\InetPub\scripts\MapServer\ the C:\Proj data has a copy of everything it's supposed to, and the Itasca data starts in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\MapServer\NCTCOG\mapserver_demos\workshop Before you ask, I set all the directories mentioned above to give WebAdmin all rights (except full control), I changed all the paths to the correct places in the "index.html" file, which shows the Itasca map fine under Windows XP SP2, and I added a "MapServer" entry to the Web Service Extensions and added every EXE and DLL that it uses with "Allow." I also set the Web Service Extensions to "Allow" "All Unknown CGI Extensions" by default (actually that was set when I got here). I also made the NCTCOG directory in wwwroot a virtual directory and set "read" permission, set execute permissions to "Script and Executables," and created an application extension for ".map" files and set it to the mapserv.exe executable. I also did all this for the C:\InetPub\scripts\Mapserver directory just in case. What else can I do to loosen this thing up? Does anyone actually have it working under Windows 2003 Standard?

OK, but there is full redundancy and fail over in the load balanced farm.

I think one can argue this point if you are talking about mapserver anyway. I have VMAP0, Tiger, Navteq for North America and Europe all running off the same server farm and we get typical 2 sec response times. Most mapserver configurations that are slow, tend to be that way because the mapfile and the data is not organized in an efficient manner. I would have to say the my VMAP0 is the slowest, but that is because I haven't had time to spend on tuning the mapfile and the data. I have VMAP0 and Tiger running on my ($1500) P4 server at home sitting on a DSL line and it is a LOT slower than the systems at work in the production environment. http://imaptools.com/tiger/ http://imaptools.com/vmap0/ but they have reasonable performance. > I haven't coded anything with MPI (yet), so I have some learning curve > ahead just to learn how to use that. > > I like the idea of having the webserver, database, and number-crunching > done on seperate machines, so I will start to look into this further. Yes this would be an interesting development project if that is what you are looking for and mapserver probably could be made to have multiple process threads render sub-tiles of the map image then have the parent process stitch them together. Of course there are a lot of boundary issues you would have to deal with like label crossing tiles for one. But if you just want you maps to go fast, that can be done with the existing code if you invest your time in figuring out how to organize stuff to make it go faster. For that matter, if you map is slow, why is it slow. What layer(s) are dragging down performance? How could you change it to make it go faster?

Windows server has an Internet User. This "user" is basically the visitor of the website, and the permissions for this user are somewhat similar to linux, in the sense that this user must have execute permissions in a folder, in order to make the webserver use the executable. I did not have too much of an issue with IIS 5 in win2k, but I agree that in windows XP, and especially when using IIS 6, the security is not very transparent. It seems you have to specify things three times over. If you can't get it right, or if you are not comfortable about managing the security, perhaps Apache is a better solution. Its security is more straightforward. We run Apache on windows 2003 server. The advantaves of 2003 server in terms of performance seem to carry across to Apache just fine. But don't give up yet! regards, Jacob -----Original Message----- From: Zachary Stauber To: Jacob Delfos; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: 1/15/2005 3:42 AM Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Windows 2003 Standard IIS 6.0 trouble I have the C:\proj directory, and WebAdmin has rights on that, but I?ll take off the web services extensions for .map and Mapserv.exe. It?s really confusing. I don?t know if I have to set ?scripts and executables? on the directory that contains mapserv.exe, or set it on the directory that contains the HTML site that runs it, or both, or what. And why you have to set up application extensions and web services extensions (and what?s the difference between those anyway) on an executable when you ALREADY set the permissions on its directory to ?scripts and executables? is beyond me. And now Mr. Greenwood says that you also have to give the WebAdmin permission as a user to execute something. IIS is the most convoluted thing I?ve ever seen, and it doesn?t help that there were two different versions in Win2k, and yet more differences between the same version 6.0 on Win2k and Win2.003k, and Mapserv.exe doesn?t work the same on any of them. I?ve gotten it to work on the previous two, but our web server is 2003. :( Anyway, thanks for the enlightenment. -Zack _____ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Jacob Delfos Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 7:02 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Windows 2003 Standard IIS 6.0 trouble Zach, You said you configured IIS to run .map files from mapserv executable. This is not correct (AFAIK), because the map file contains information mapserver uses. It is NOT a script being executed by mapserv.exe. Therefore, if the .map file is requested from the server, depending on how it is requested, it might go wrong. IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 will sometimes throw an inappropriate "page not found" error, if the actual problem is something to do with security. Does your "proj" directory exist? Is it worth checking permissions on that? It might help if you listed the directories you created, and the permissions you set on them. regards, Jacob -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Ed McNierney Sent: 14 January 2005 09:44 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Windows 2003 Standard IIS 6.0 trouble Zach ?

Right now I'm just trying out the Itasca dataset. It's a permissions problem. Does anyone have a vaguely detailed process for setting the permissions or configuring Web Access Extensions or Application Extensions (or whatever hates MapServer so much) so it gets past the top level security junk in IIS 6.0? I have the same version, 4.4.0-beta3 working fine on a Windows XP SP2 machine, with all the files in exactly the same places. The EXE and all DLL's are in C:\InetPub\scripts\MapServer\ the C:\Proj data has a copy of everything it's supposed to, and the Itasca data starts in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\MapServer\NCTCOG\mapserver_demos\workshop Before you ask, I set all the directories mentioned above to give WebAdmin all rights (except full control), I changed all the paths to the correct places in the "index.html" file, which shows the Itasca map fine under Windows XP SP2, and I added a "MapServer" entry to the Web Service Extensions and added every EXE and DLL that it uses with "Allow." I also set the Web Service Extensions to "Allow" "All Unknown CGI Extensions" by default (actually that was set when I got here). I also made the NCTCOG directory in wwwroot a virtual directory and set "read" permission, set execute permissions to "Script and Executables," and created an application extension for ".map" files and set it to the mapserv.exe executable. I also did all this for the C:\InetPub\scripts\Mapserver directory just in case. What else can I do to loosen this thing up? Does anyone actually have it working under Windows 2003 Standard?

Message-ID: I've been asked to generate a map with an insert, i.e. adding a small area with a larger scale in the corner of the map.

This works perfectly. However, I've sofar been unable to get labels to display in the small insert image. They show up perfectly in the main/large image. I don't turn any layers on/off between the two renderings, and I don't have any label min/max scale settings in place for this labelling layer (which btw. is an OVF layer). I suspect that it's an issue connected with the label cache. I've tried to add LABELCACHE OFF to the labelling layer and remove the commands $map->drawLabelCache() from my code, but it makes no difference at all: the labels only (and always!) appear in the main window.

While Mapserver has some connection to MySQL, it is not the most mature, but a lot of people are using Perl or PHP to store data in MySQL and to render it via mapscript. Mapserver supports lots of data formats, it supports lots of raster and vector formats.

The learning curve is a little steep, but the community with help you through it. Most people start with the demo application and then try to change that to use their own data that they have downloaded from somewhere. There is also a wiki that has a lot of examples of mapscript and other howtos, but it was getting spammed and has been locked, so it may be getting a little stale over time.

MySQL is only one option, and you will have to do some special compile/set up steps to get it working. I can't speak to the specifics myself though. > 3) MapScript: is there documentation for it?

Yes it is part of the source package in mapserverxxx/mapscript/perl has the perl stuff in it. > Any pointers as to how to get up to speed with Mapserver would be most > appreciated.

The JOIN thing can only be used for querying and only when you are using templates for displaying query results. If you want to color code the counties using external data the simplest way is to append the fileds in from the avalanches.dbf to counties.dbf. If, for any reason this cannot be done, then you can generate classes and expressions dynamically with mapscript. Here is the php mapscript code I use to classify districts into "$no_classes" number of classes (using arcview-style quantile method) using data from an external mysql database (the external database has a field called DIST_ID that associates with the shapefile): //run sql query $sql = "SELECT DIST_ID, DIST_NAME, ".$databasefield." FROM DISTRICTS_".$databasetable.$filter_where; $result = mysql_query($sql, $connection); // assign sql results into arrays while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ $ID[]=$row["DIST_ID"]; $DIST_NAME[]=$row["DIST_NAME"]; ${$databasefield}[]=$row[$databasefield]; } //end while //sort the query results if (${$databasefield}){array_multisort(${$databasefield}, SORT_ASC, SORT_NUMERIC, $DIST_NAME, SORT_STRING, $ID, SORT_STRING);} mysql_free_result($result); mysql_close($connection); //count the number of records in the array $no_records=count($ID); if ($no_classes > $no_records){$no_classes = $no_records;} if ($no_classes > 0){ //number of class items $no_classitems = ceil($no_records / $no_classes); //split the arrays into chunks $class_ID=array_chunk($ID,$no_classitems,true); $class_value=array_chunk(${$databasefield},$no_classitems,true); } // end if $no_classes > 0 //set classitem $layer_districts->set("classitem","OBJID"); //draw classes $i=0; while ($i < $no_classes){ $i++; //class expressions $class_array = $class_ID[$i-1]; if ($class_array){ $expression[$i]="/".implode("|",$class_array)."/"; //legend key labels $class_legend_key1=$class_value[$i-1][($i-1)*$no_classitems]; $class_legend_key2=$class_value[$i-1][($i-1)*$no_classitems + $no_classitems -1]; if ($class_legend_key2 == NULL){$class_legend_key2 = $class_value[$i-1][$no_records-1];} $class_legend_key[$i]=$class_legend_key1." to ".$class_legend_key2; //draw layers $class[$i] = ms_newClassObj($layer_districts); $class[$i]->set("name",$class_legend_key[$i]); $class[$i]->setexpression($expression[$i]); $class_style[$i] = ms_newStyleObj ($class[$i]); $class_style[$i]->outlinecolor->setRGB(-1,-1,-1); $class_style[$i]->color->setRGB($color_r[$i-1],$color_g[$i-1],$color_b[$i-1]); } // end if $class_array }//end draw classes -- Sandeep Bashyal -- National GIS Officer UNCU, United Nations Nepal UN House, Pulchowk, G.P.O.

ESRI was the first company to propagate the use of world files, and they often used with TIFF instead of embedding georeferencing information in the file itself. The world file contents look like the following. The first coefficient is the X pixel size. The second and third are rotational/shear coefficients (and should normally be 0.0). The fourth is the Y pixel size, normally negative indicating that Y decreases as you move down from the top left origin. The final two values are the X and Y location of the center of the top left pixel. This example is for an image with a 2m x 2m pixel size, and a top left origin at (356800E, 5767999N). 2 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 -2 356800.00 5767999.00 The name of the world file is based on the file it relates to. For instance, the world file for aerial.tif might be aerial.tfw. Conventions vary for appropriate endings, but with MapServer the extension .wld is always OK for world files. ----------------- Greetings Astrid ------------------------------------- Astrid Emde CCGIS GbR Siemensstra?e 8 53121 Bonn Germany ---------------------------------- astrid.emde at ccgis.de www.ccgis.de ---------------------------------- Tel.: ++49 (0) 228 90826 19 Fax.: ++49 (0) 228 90826 11 Zentrale: ++49 (0) 228 90826 0 ---------------------------------- Stephane Nicolas wrote: > Hi, > > > I am trying to produce a world file (.tfw) for my tif image for use with > php/map server.

Assuming that you know the extent of the image - you can subtract the minimum extent from the maximum, and divide the difference by the width/height in pixels to get the dimension of that pixel in your map units. ie,(sorry about the math) (maxXorY - minXorY)/imagewidth = pixeldim you have to note also that the last two values correspond to the x and y coordinates of the top left pixel.

Juan, For one reason or another the mapserver you ran does not include GDAL support. Either you weren't really running the version you just built, or the configuration of GDAL support did not work.

View README for credits and license information. 4. View HISTORY.TXT for additional information on MapServer 4.4.1 5. Copy mapserv.exe from "C:\MapServer\bin" to your web server's cgi-bin directory. (In Microsoft's IIS, this is either in "C:\Inetpub\Scripts" or "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin". In Apache v1.3.x, this is usually in "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin".) 6. Copy directory "Proj" to "C:\". (You should end up with a directory "C:\Proj".) Alternatively, leave the "proj" subdirectory where it is and add a variable called PROJ_LIB to your system environment and enter the path to your "proj\nad" subdirectory as the value (example: system variable: PROJ_LIB, value: C:\MapServer\Proj\NAD). 7. Copy the dynamic link libraries (the files with .dll extensions) to your system directory--this is typically "C:\Windows\system" on Windows 98 or "C:\Windows\system32" on Windows 2000 and XP. Alternatively, you can leave the dlls where they are and update your system PATH to include the path to your "bin" directory (i.e. "C:\MapServer\bin"). 8. Restart your web server. 9. Test MapServer by typing " http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe" on you browser. It should return the following message: "No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The error message looks like Mapserver is assuming your layer is a shape file layer but that the DATA section of your layer has no shape file name associated with it. What type of layer is it you're attempting to query? The TEMPLATE should be an html template file which the CGI mapserv would use to display the query results, but in mapscript it just serves to indicate that the layer should be querable and can be any abritrary string, e.g. TEMPLATE "ttt" Eric From jdport at VERITIME.COM Mon Jan 17 14:02:39 2005 From: jdport at VERITIME.COM (Jeff Portwine) Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 17:02:39 -0500 Subject: Query by point Message-ID: > The error message looks like Mapserver is assuming your layer is a shape > file layer but that > the DATA section of your layer has no shape file > name associated with it.

Rick, the problem is not "defining" a closed polygon so much as "specifying" one. "Closed" is a little redundant here, since a polygon has to be closed in the sense I think you're using it. If it's not closed, it's a polyline.

Janice, I don't have particularly deep experience on the spatial RDBMS'es but I will say if you don't have any strong pre-commitment to another one, PostGIS on Postgres is likely to do pretty much all you need with good performance at a very low (ie free) price.

Hi, works fine now, your suggestion was correct. We have done all of what you said before, still didn't work. It took us some time to figure out what the problem really was. It was all our fault, we missed a trailing underscore behind the field name. We were looking for "GEO_ID" and should have been looking for "GEO_ID_". Thats a nasty thing to find out... UMN MapServer 4.1.1 works fine as WFS with Oracle 9. It does so with OGR and oraclespatial connection, the second is a lot faster.

I agree with all of your points completely Ed. My contribution to the debate has been that the terminology *closed polygon* is meaningless, or at least redundant as you said, in the mathematical domain. It only has meaning in the GIS domain, where information systems are exchanging data. In the GIS domain, it means the first point equals the last. Again, as you point out, that's how a polygon is distinguished from a polyline (I thought it was multi-line, but that may just be an Oracle Spatialism.) Thanks guys for the thoughtful responses.

Jeff, The problem is that mapserver won't query a layer which doesn't have a valid DATA source set. I guess that make sense in most cases. There are two work arounds. 1) Use VirtualSpatialData. I've never used this so can't offer any additional advice. See: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpatialData 2) Trick mapserver by not only drawing your point using: $point->draw() but also add your point as a feature to the map: $layer->addFeature(). Features are queryable and mapserver will return whatever numeric shape index you use when creating the shape. I've never tried this with PHP Mapscript but use if often with Perl Mapscript and I believe it should work with PHP. For the Perl example see: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PerlMapScriptExamples42ex1 The above script works with 4.4.1.

I would check your ./configure again. Specifically, in the gcc compile step, there should be something between the last "-I" and "maptemplate.c". As it is, gcc is thinking that maptemplate.c is to be included, when it's really what should be compiled. I ran into this when I tried --with-proj without specifying a directory after. You'd think the configure script would've noticed, but it didn't. So I would check ./configure --help to see which of those flags requires a path, and then try setting them. --Colin McGuigan From sgillies at FRII.COM Tue Jan 18 07:02:13 2005 From: sgillies at FRII.COM (Sean Gillies) Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 08:02:13 -0700 Subject: Mapscript - Perl - Query - shapeObj In-Reply-To: Message-ID: On Jan 18, 2005, at 7:17 AM, Aaron Craig wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > The values property in the Perl implementation of a shapeObj is a > scalar > reference. > > I was hoping that it would be a hashref to my database columns for the > record returned by a layerObj->queryByPoint() call, similar to what it > looks like PHP does. > > My output looks like: > > > my $res = $lyr->getResult(0); > my $shp = mapscript::shapeObj->new($mapscript::MS_SHAPE_POLYGON); > $lyr->getShape($shp, $res->{tileindex}, $res->{shapeindex}); > print "values: $shp->{values}\n"; > > values: _p_p_char=SCALAR(0xa3e7d74) > > In the end I need to get an id value out of the database from my query. > ~ Is there a standard way of doing this? > > > Thanks again for the help. > > - -- > Aaron Craig > mercutio at pobox.com > Aaron, Here is the canonical query example (in Python) for version 4.4: layer.query() # queryByRect or *Shape or *Attributes results = layer.getResults() if results: # open layer in preparation of reading shapes layer.open() for i in range(results.numresults): r = results.getResult(i) feature = layer.getFeature(r.shapeindex, r.tileindex) # Iterate over feature attributes for j in range(layer.numitems): att_name = layer.getItem(j) att_val = feature.getValue(j) print att_name, att_val # Close when done layer.close() The PHP mapscript exposes the items and values as arrays, but this is less feasible for the other mapscript modules due to differences in their array implementations. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From bfraser at GEOANALYTIC.COM Tue Jan 18 07:10:05 2005 From: bfraser at GEOANALYTIC.COM (Brent Fraser) Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 08:10:05 -0700 Subject: looking for tile index example for tif's using Mapserver 4.02 Message-ID: John, The HowTo you refer to pretty much covers how to set up the tile index: 1. Organize your raster files into directories by coordinate system. 2. Create a tile index shapefile by running gdalindex 3. Create a layer entry in your Mapserver mapfile referencing the tile index shapefile As for the viewer portion (HTML, Java, etc) of the MapServer system, there is nothing special about the tile index layer. It can be turned on and off just like your current raster layer. I'm not sure if the "PROCESSING" directive works with a tile index layer; I've never tried it.

Message-ID: Janeks, Generally, ESRI's products WILL work with MapServer IF the ESRI application supports the OGIS WMS (for raster data) or WFS (for vector data) specification. Another way to connect Mapserver and ESRI applications is to write a MapServer/ArcIMS wrapper to make a Mapserver look like an ArcIMS server. Some people on this list have done that; it requires server-side scripting, and a knowledge of the ArcIMS protocol and Mapserver CGI or WMS protocols. As for ArcExplorer 2.0, it appears it will connect to ArcIMS so you could try the wrapper approach. ArcExplorer 4.0.1 Java Edition + Interoperability Extension supports WMS, but I'm not sure that's available any more. ESRI has released ArcExplorer 9.0 , but no interoperability extension yet (that I could find).

It's just a polygon, which might be used in the latest video game renderer. It's really just a specification question - does the format under discussion require polygons to re-specify the first point as the last, or is that specification assumed? If the system is using that "hint" to decide whether the object is an (un-closed) polyline or a (closed) polygon then it's important. If the object itself is flagged as being a polygon or a polyline, then it's redundant but harmless. I wouldn't claim either way is "right", nor is either way the "GIS way", since it's just as relevant to the definition of a polygon in an Adobe Acrobat document describing an advertisement for your new GIS product as it is to the GIS product itself. In the Adobe Acrobat/PostScript world, yet another mechanism (the use of the closepath operator) is used to determine whether a path is closed (i.e like a polygon) or not. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Rick Levine Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 8:30 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Closed Polygon Thanks for the link Ken, I inserted it into the debate. I agree with all of your points completely Ed. My contribution to the debate has been that the terminology *closed polygon* is meaningless, or at least redundant as you said, in the mathematical domain. It only has meaning in the GIS domain, where information systems are exchanging data. In the GIS domain, it means the first point equals the last. Again, as you point out, that's how a polygon is distinguished from a polyline (I thought it was multi-line, but that may just be an Oracle Spatialism.) Thanks guys for the thoughtful responses.

Rick, the problem is not "defining" a closed polygon so much as "specifying" one. "Closed" is a little redundant here, since a polygon has to be closed in the sense I think you're using it. If it's not closed, it's a polyline. I think your question is more a matter of agreement over the XML schema used and its interpretation. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Ken Lord Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 6:04 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Closed Polygon I knew that BCIT course was good for something .. bango! ... http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf Page 12 defines what a polygon is according to the ESRI Shapefile format. "A polygon consists of one or more rings. A ring is a connected sequence of four or more points that form a closed, non-self-intersecting loop." Think of it this way, the simplest polygon is a triangle, but it takes the four points to describe a polygon in a shapefile, therefore the start and end point must be the same. Page 13 lists some important points about polygons, one of which explicitly states that the start and end points must be the same.

I had a feeling that JOIN was not what I was looking for. I was hoping to avoid your solution as my EXPRESSION statement sometimes reaches up to 2500 clauses causing MapServer, PHP, and IIS to timeout. My EXPRESSION statements gets too big due to the number of counties (or FIPS codes which number over 3000) in the US. And while some of the datasets I use only involve a handful of counties, some other datasets involve over 2500 of the counties. I fear my only recourse is to manually join each dataset to my county.dbf and build simple EXPRESSIONs e.g. EXPRESSION ([RAINFALL] > 8) rather than complex ones e.g. EXPRESSION (([FIPS] = 00022) OR ([FIPS] = 00042) OR ([FIPS] = 00081) ... ad nauseum)). If this is my only recourse, can anyone suggest a good dbf editor/joiner? Or is there any good php script that can handle this? It doesn't seem that the PHP/DBF module can do this out-of-box. Thanks to all for your help.

This temp dataset could be produced at daily or hourly intervals and could stay fairly up to date. You could readily script this in Perl (using DBI and XBase) or Python (using shapelib) and run it under cron. No need for PHP. 2) SOFTWARE SOLUTION You can do your classification in PHP code outside of mapscript. This means setting the classindex and label attributes for all the county shapes, then adding them to an inline layer using "addFeature()". They will be rendered according to the class at the specified classindex. 3) RDBMS SOLUTION Consider using PostGIS/SDE/Oracle to store your counties and avalanche data and take advantage of the RDBMS ability to perform joins and cache query results. cheers, Sean On Jan 18, 2005, at 9:20 AM, Michael Elepano wrote: > Sandeep: > > Thanks for your advice.

"Ed McNierney" To: , cc: 01/18/2005 11:11 Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Closed Polygon AM Rick - Not to continue to pick at this nit , but the concept "closed polygon" is by no means restricted to the "GIS domain". It's just a polygon, which might be used in the latest video game renderer. It's really just a specification question - does the format under discussion require polygons to re-specify the first point as the last, or is that specification assumed? If the system is using that "hint" to decide whether the object is an (un-closed) polyline or a (closed) polygon then it's important. If the object itself is flagged as being a polygon or a polyline, then it's redundant but harmless. I wouldn't claim either way is "right", nor is either way the "GIS way", since it's just as relevant to the definition of a polygon in an Adobe Acrobat document describing an advertisement for your new GIS product as it is to the GIS product itself. In the Adobe Acrobat/PostScript world, yet another mechanism (the use of the closepath operator) is used to determine whether a path is closed (i.e like a polygon) or not. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Rick Levine Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 8:30 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Closed Polygon Thanks for the link Ken, I inserted it into the debate. I agree with all of your points completely Ed. My contribution to the debate has been that the terminology *closed polygon* is meaningless, or at least redundant as you said, in the mathematical domain. It only has meaning in the GIS domain, where information systems are exchanging data. In the GIS domain, it means the first point equals the last. Again, as you point out, that's how a polygon is distinguished from a polyline (I thought it was multi-line, but that may just be an Oracle Spatialism.) Thanks guys for the thoughtful responses.

Rick, the problem is not "defining" a closed polygon so much as "specifying" one. "Closed" is a little redundant here, since a polygon has to be closed in the sense I think you're using it. If it's not closed, it's a polyline. I think your question is more a matter of agreement over the XML schema used and its interpretation. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Ken Lord Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 6:04 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Closed Polygon I knew that BCIT course was good for something .. bango! ... http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf Page 12 defines what a polygon is according to the ESRI Shapefile format. "A polygon consists of one or more rings. A ring is a connected sequence of four or more points that form a closed, non-self-intersecting loop." Think of it this way, the simplest polygon is a triangle, but it takes the four points to describe a polygon in a shapefile, therefore the start and end point must be the same. Page 13 lists some important points about polygons, one of which explicitly states that the start and end points must be the same.

Other than that, they are equivalent. Python benefits from having many usage examples within the mapscript unit tests, but any Perl hacker can translate the unit tests to their own scripts. Python hooks up to other open source GIS software like GDAL/OGR, GEOS, and OpenEV better than Perl or PHP, and this is a big plus. All the mapscript modules share a great deal of core code: layer and map drawing, querying, etc. The PHP interface is, however, developed separately from Python and Perl's, does not benefit from the other mapscript unit tests, and in the past year is a bit behind the Python/Perl mapscript in features and rate of development. The main difference is that the PHP module lacks a number of methods for cloning layers, classes, and styles, and for inserting and deleting these from their "parent" objects. Correct me if I am wrong (Daniel?), but I think that the original PHP mapscript developers' resources are currently spent on a higher-level software product instead of on the lower level mapscript. The Python (and related) mapscript module has undergone more rapid development because of the needs of my ZMapServer and Cartographic Objects for Zope software, but most users will not need these extra features. As I have said before, PHP is unrivaled for web pages that have a relatively small amount of logic behind them. It is fast and the platform is mature and well supported. The PHP mapscript has proven itself to be very useful. For larger applications that just so happen to have a web interface, you'll want to consider a less web-oriented language that is OO and easy to profile, test, and refactor. IMO, this means Python rather than Perl. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From Richard_D_Levine at RAYTHEON.COM Tue Jan 18 06:17:42 2005 From: Richard_D_Levine at RAYTHEON.COM (Rick Levine) Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 09:17:42 -0500 Subject: DBF-to-mySQL JOIN: 3 CASES Message-ID: Janice, I know of three spatial database implementations: PostGIS on PostgreSQL, Oracle Spatial, and Informix Spatial Datablade. This is not a complete list, but those I know of. I have PostGIS installed and have read all the docs, but only prototyped with it. It is a powerful and nicely complete implementation running on an incredibly full featured RDBMS. It follows the OpenGIS standards. It's only deficiency, to my mind, is that it doesn't handle geometries that span the antemeridian or polar caps. I use Oracle Spatial regularly and find it fast, powerful, and flexible. It had better be for licensing costs that run in the tens of thousands of dollars per server, plus maintenance costs. It does handle the antemeridian and the polar caps. It gives lip service to the OpenGIS standards, but like all things Oracle, is nonstandard enough to make switching to another product painful. I would never use any product from the former Informix Corp. even though they are now owned by IBM, because I have in the past.

Janice, I don't have particularly deep experience on the spatial RDBMS'es but I will say if you don't have any strong pre-commitment to another one, PostGIS on Postgres is likely to do pretty much all you need with good performance at a very low (ie free) price.

I am using Mapserver 4.4 over linux, java servlets. By the moment what I want to do is to show a map on a webpage. Once it is drawn, I will have some UTM coordinates that I have to draw on the map as some ponits. So, I would like someone to guide me on what I need to do this, I mean: 1) What type of map format do I need: raster, shapefile? 2) Where can I pick the map I need (find the shapefile)? 3) Do I have to manage the .map file? 4) In what way?I mean, how do I know the extension or other parameters for example? 5) How do I know which are the coordinates of the corners of my map, so I can know were to draw the points I need?Or isn't it necesary?If so how can I do it? I know there are many questions. At least if someone could tell me what and where to look for it; or even better tell me some replys to my questions.

I extensively use the %keyword% replace mechanism in the url to pass parameters from my webapp through the mapserver to my feature server. Recently I've been asked to add some extra query abilities to the website and also to the feature server. Adding this ability creates urls of large lengths. I have one example that is 360 chars long. In this case and others, mapserver's behaviour to cache GML on the file system becomes a huge problem. Suddenly all my maprequests fail with the message "cannot create file [url]". Is there a way to circumvent this? Either disabling the cache, having mapserver store the files under different names, anything will do.

Being able to make queries at all is of course the most important issue I'd like to have solved, but I'm also a bit curious about how I define which times that are appropriate. How do I configure the mapfile, so that mapserv.cgi adds the proper -tag to a GetCapabilities response?

In your case, it looks like mapserver is not performing the template variable substitution correctly (or at least as expected), with some kind of nesting/recursion going on with respect to "appurl"? Possibly some mapserver code changes have been done in this area since 4.0?

I have been using a Cascading WMS service to share some of my layers out to another MapServer user who has been accessing my data without problem. For some reason, now that MapServer 4.4 is running, the WMS layers are no longer being shared. We have run the getCapabilities for both my base mapfile and my cascaded map file service and they both come back error free but when we run a getMap we receive the following error: msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS server error. Invalid layer(s) given in the LAYERS parameter. I've read about this error in the archives but cannot find a solution for my particular file. When my colleague calls the mapfile only one of the 10 layers listed is returned. The data has not changed since I upgraded and it is all in the same projection (UTM Zone 10). Are there some naming conventions or WMS requirements that are new in 4.4 that I have not found in the documentation? Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are trying to get this thing up and running again for a presentation on Saturday.

The reason it smooths them is because it assumed your features are not really square in nature, and it tries to compensate for that. I am quite sure that if you increase the resolution of your grid (simply by blowing it up), it will fix the problem to a large extent. If you fit 10 pixels in every pixel you have now, it will not cut across all those 10 pixels. regards, Jacob -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Ma Sent: 20 January 2005 12:16 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] convert grid to polygon without smooth Dear All, I'm trying to convert grid theme to polygon theme but ArcView 3.2a is doing this with some smooth by default ( see the attached image or http://geocities.com/gislandia/grid2poly/grid-to-poly-with-smooth.jpg ).

So, I went ahead and installed it manually (aka. no cpan module) to document the steps. Thank goodness for the cpan module. Assume download, tar -xf --gunzip, perl Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install for each: 1) DB_File-1.810 2) Carp-Assert-0.18 3) Class-Data-Inheritable-0.02 4) Class-Accessor-0.19 5) Geo-TigerLine-0.02 6) Geo-Fips55-0.01 7) Geo-Coder-US-0.21 This was all on RH 9, perl 5.8.0-88, gcc-3.2.2-5. The worst part is - not a single error on any test, so now I have a working geocoder (sans data) on my desktop but you don't. What was the first test to fail & in which module?

If I specifiy a field with words "anno_..." or "funzione_...", when I attempt to run GetShape() I get an error into browser. So, I prepared a simple example where I use these words into field synonyms (but it is the same when these terms have been found into real field names). Here you are a data definition where I use "anno_costruzione" as synonym of fid: it gives error. DATA "GEOM FROM (SELECT fid, geom, stato, numero, fid anno_costruzione FROM ic_kuba_manufatti) USING UNIQUE FID" Here you are a data definition where I use "anno2_costruzione" as synonym of fid: it works fine. DATA "GEOM FROM (SELECT fid, geom, stato, numero, fid anno2_costruzione FROM ic_kuba_manufatti) USING UNIQUE FID" Here you are code: $layer->open(); echo "1

"; $shape = $layer->getShape($result->tileindex,$result->shapeindex); echo "3
"; $keyValue=$shape->values[$metadataLayerKey]; echo "4

You can get this by running Windows Update and selecting .Net-whatever from the list of recommended updates. You can also download this manually from Microsoft. I don't use Windows that much anymore so I can't give you anything specific that needs to be done. If you've done everything and still can't get it to work, give MS4W from maptools.org a try. I tried it recently and it worked well. There was a Windows firewall message that popped-up when I ran the Apache install script... something about some rule that Apache needs to change (you want Apache to change it). Whatever this rule is, it might be what's screwing up your MapServer app. Sorry I can't be more specific. Good luck! -Perry -- Pericles S.

The problem can be in msOracleSpatialLayerGetShape function or in msOracleSpatialLayerGetItems function, where I created the "layer->items". I don't know but I believe that core of problem is with "layer->items". I will check this problem and other little things for the next commit.

You will see all the layers that are available. - inside your wms client map, use the same name for the "wms_name" paramater as one of the layers defined on the server and that should be it. I just tried this wms cleint layer pointing to your server and it did display the layer properly : LAYER NAME "Municipal Park" TYPE RASTER STATUS ON #CONNECTION "http://www.chirpwhistler.info/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=c:\chameleon-2.0\chirp\map\chirp.map&" CONNECTION "http://www.chirpwhistler.info/scripts/mapserv.exe?map=chirp_wms.map&" CONNECTIONTYPE WMS METADATA "wms_title" "Park" "wms_srs" "EPSG:42304 EPSG:42101 EPSG:4269 EPSG:4326 EPSG:42304 EPSG:26910" "wms_name" "Municipal Park" "wms_server_version" "1.1.1" "wms_formatlist" "image/gif,image/png,image/jpeg,image/wbmp" "wms_format" "image/gif" END END I do not thing there is any thing wrong but just only layer names issues. BTW avoid using spaces in layer names (eg Municipal Park, you should use Municipal_Park). You can use a more descriptive name for the title. Hope this helps. If you still have issues with it, I suggest you open a bug in mapserver and enter your problem with appropriate data set for testing.

Read doco for more > info. Hi Sam. I saw that hint in the email archives of this list, and I had tried that earlier with no success. It doesn't mean it's not needed however, so that was half of the problem. I found the solution other half of the problem - the extent values provided to me were incorrect, way off in fact. Mark Cave-Ayland replied and provided me with new extent values: EXTENT 6115607.4 -6721409.5 11728494.8 -2487757.2 from a program called "jump" which I hadn't heard of. It appears that the software exporting the shapefiles from its native format does something funny with its offsets.

I in fact loaded mapserver 4.4.1 as Sean suggested and it has some good output if you set DEBUG ON in the mapfile. It will display each layer that was rendered and how long it took to render it. Of course it would always be nice to have more information, but this was more than I had and enought to identify which layers were the problems. Once I new what layer to look at it was easy for me to figure out how to deal with it. In most cases, I just eliminated the layer as it was excessive detail that I could do without. Yes, I use the Perl profiling for other scripts and it is an excellent tool for evaluating script performance. Highly recommended to anyone that has not used it and uses Perl. -Steve W.

I have downloaded a few map files, as suggested (but so far I am not sure how to access their content). Questions: 1) Is there a specific directory where the map data should be stored? 2) Is there a Perl equivalent to the PHP Recipe set? My knowledge of PHP is somewhat limited. I plan to use Perl + MySQL (as I have some experience in the area). Status so far: mapserver is installed and seems to respond when evoked through apache. The next step involves: (1) establishing basic set instructions the server responds to (i.e. those four or five commands one uses most of the time), and perhaps more importantly, (2) understand how these instructions may reach the server. I would also appreciate any indications as to the basic syntax of imparting commands via (a) the webbrowser and (2) via command line. I look forward to your feedback and comments.

I'm new to this group and I'm trying to work with the MapServer. I want to use it together with PostgreSQL+PostGIS and Apache. The programs are allready installed, but are not working properly. So now I do not know if it is a problem with the installation or with the example file. I'm using the usa2.map example from: http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/ I have corrected the Shape- and Imagepath to my installation. Typically I receive only the frame which tells me that the map was created with MapServer and a legend at the bottom. But the map is missing. Thanks for your help, sincerly N.

So if you to use pointObj::draw(), shapeObj::draw(), or layerObj::draw() you will need to first create a blank image canvas with mapObj::prepareImage(). If you are very careful you might even use an imageObj produced by the imageObj constructor, but prepareImage is safer and manages all the spatial re-sizing and re-scaling that may be necessary.

Looking at the code, mappath is allowed to be null, and the case is handled by using the current path as the map path; in fact, loadMap is called several times with a NULL argument for mappath, so this behaviour seems to be normal. As to configuring with seperate paths, here's what I found: removing --with-php and --with-php-regex-dir makes a mapserv file that works fine. More curious still, if I compile PHP as a cgi with --use-regex=system BUT DO NOT INSTALL, and then compile Mapserver against that with --use-php=, Mapserver will work fine, even if used within the previously installed PHP-as-DSO. Seems completely backwards of how I'd expect things to work, but, there you go.

Every geographic (i.e. latitude/longitude) and projected coordinate system is expressed relative to a datum. Many people incorrectly think that the latitude and longitude of a point are absolute, unchangeable values. Latitude and longitude are geographic coordinates expressed relative to a datum. If you change the datum, the coordinates will change. In the United States, the NAD27 and NAD83 datums are commonly used. WGS84 is also used because it is a world-wide datum, but in the USA you can consider it identical to NAD83. For example, I'm typing this from a location that's latitude 42.5860?N, 71.5553?W in WGS84/NAD83 coordinates, and 42.5859?N, 71.5558?W in NAD27 coordinates. Not a big difference, but a real one. If ALL of your shapefiles are geographic NAD83, things are pretty easy. If your input and output projections are all the same (and let's start with that case) then you can completely ignore projections. Just be sure the extents in your .mapfile are appropriate for the area and the UNITS are DD (decimal degrees). It sounded, however, from your last email, as if you'd already had that working. What works and doesn't work? Can you get one shapefile to display using latitude/longitude extents for the northeastern US? - Ed ________________________________________ From: Jeff Portwine [mailto:jdport at veritime.com] Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 12:34 PM To: Ed McNierney; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] projection questions As I've looked closer at some of the metadata that is available on the downloads I have, I've noticed that they sometimes say they are a geographic projection, and use datum like NAD83... so that tells me a little bit.??

There was a later addition of a .prj file to go along with shapefiles and describe their projection.? If you have a .prj file of the same base name, you will have that information - I expect you do not. Without that information you're down to educated guesses.? There are three likely candidates for US data - geographic (unprojected) coordinates, a UTM projection, or a state plane projection.? If you are dealing with a multiple-state area, state plane is unlikely. Can you examine the coordinates in the shapefile by either using the shpdump utility or loading the shapefile into a GIS viewer and reading the coordinates?? For New England, geographic coordinates will have X values ranging from around -74 to -66, and Y values between? 41 and 48.? UTM coordinates will range between X values of 200000 to 700000 and Y values between 4500000 and 5250000.? As you can see, these are obviously different and easy to distinguish. If you find you have values that don't match either of these, let us know what they are; the shpdump utility will give you the bounding box of all shapes in the shapefile, and that's a good guide. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeff Portwine Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 10:49 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] projection questions ?

Every geographic (i.e. latitude/longitude) and projected coordinate system is expressed relative to a datum. Many people incorrectly think that the latitude and longitude of a point are absolute, unchangeable values. Latitude and longitude are geographic coordinates expressed relative to a datum. If you change the datum, the coordinates will change. In the United States, the NAD27 and NAD83 datums are commonly used. WGS84 is also used because it is a world-wide datum, but in the USA you can consider it identical to NAD83. For example, I'm typing this from a location that's latitude 42.5860?N, 71.5553?W in WGS84/NAD83 coordinates, and 42.5859?N, 71.5558?W in NAD27 coordinates. Not a big difference, but a real one. If ALL of your shapefiles are geographic NAD83, things are pretty easy. If your input and output projections are all the same (and let's start with that case) then you can completely ignore projections. Just be sure the extents in your .mapfile are appropriate for the area and the UNITS are DD (decimal degrees). It sounded, however, from your last email, as if you'd already had that working.

It's not necessarily wrong, just different and can take time to get used to. There are three parameters effected by projections that make maps appear very different ... shape of an object, distance between objects, and area of an object. Generaly any particular projection will handle 2 of the 3 well, so maps tend to be made using particular projections for particular uses in particular regions.

I think GDAL is picking the wrong dimension for x. The netCDF driver also doesn't handle multiple variables in one netCDF file gracefully. As it happens, you are once again operating on the frontier I am interested in advancing. In particular, I am interested in improving the netCDF driver. Would you mind pointing me to the netCDF file in question so I can try and use it as an example while I work on the driver.

It seems to work well in all the cases we've tested, but of course any feedback is welcome. Problem: MapServer URLs are horribly long, what with all the program= and map= and mode= stuff in the query string. Solution: Set up an Apache handler and a wrapper script, so that an URL pointing to a .map file causes MapServer to run instead. This is a CGI program. Put it into your cgi-bin directory and chmod it. And you'll need to fix a few of the paths to match your own installation. #!/bin/sh # if there's no query string, make a basic one # assuming they want browse mode if [ "$QUERY_STRING" = "" ]; then QUERY_STRING="mode=browse&program=/cgi-bin/mapserv.cgi" fi export QUERY_STRING # the URL they gave is the URL to the mapfile # appending the mapfile to the query string # helps with browse mode MS_MAPFILE=$PATH_TRANSLATED export MS_MAPFILE QUERY_STRING=$QUERY_STRING"&map=$PATH_TRANSLATED" # now just run MapServer now exec /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/mapserv.cgi Then, in Apache's httpd.conf file, set up a handler. Anything with a .map extension gets sent to that wrapper. # make MapServer mapfiles "executable" Action mapfilewrapper /cgi-bin/mapfilewrappper.cgi AddHandler mapfilewrapper .map So now instead of this: http://server/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/bob/public_html/maps/foo.map&mode=browse&program=/cgi-bin/mapserv You should be able to do this: http://server/~bob/foo.map __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Is there a way to make this work through IIS? I use some simple ASP pages in my templates that redirect to mapserver to add power to the URL system, for example to switch between different templates, different map sizes, to go to specific pre-set map views, to turn on/off all map layers within sets of layers without using the 'group' parameter, or to turn off certain layers when other layers are activated without using the cryptic 'requires' parameter ... Or to process query results. An ASP link parsed in a query results page can lead to any kind of dynamically generated query result content you want this way. ... as I'm sure all you php'ers can do too in your own way.

You shouldn't even have to setup a separate layer to show queried parcels (though there are ways to do this). I suggest starting out with one layer that renders queried and non-queried parcels at the same time. Once you get the hang of that then you can do two different layers (if you still even want to). Make the layer like this: LAYER NAME "parcels" DATA "parcels" STATUS on TYPE polygon CLASS OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 0 END TEMPLATE "x" # Must be present to query on (though "x" means absolutely nothing). END The above layer will render all your parcels green outline with hollow fill. Then when you use the PHP code to query it will render your queried parcels red. This assumes you have QUERYMAP setup correctly. -Abe On Jan 22, 2005, at 7:12 PM, Steve Lehr wrote: > Abe I've never used the QUERY MAP before, I tried putting it in the > layer > and it did not like that? > > My initial layer looks like: > > I changed my code to pass Pipe delimited. > > But I'm not quite certian I'm still getting what I need to do to my > .map. > > Thanks for the help..below is the layer repeated my EXPRESSION is > trashed I > realize. > >> LAYER >> NAME "selected_parcels" >> DATA parcels >> STATUS DEFAULT >> TYPE POLYGON >> CLASSITEM QPID >> CLASS >> EXPRESSION "/%parcels%/" >> COLOR 255 0 0 >> END >> END > > > Steven Lehr > Assistant Professor > Freshmen Program > College of Engineering > Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (LB159) > 600 S.

Message-ID: Hello all, I have mapserver set up as a WMS server.... Is there a way to output a WMC (Web Map Context) document containing all of the layers in my mapfile at the default extent? So far I have tried 2 things with disappointing results: 1) PHP/Mapcript's $map->saveMapContext() method ... this only outputs layers that mapserver accesses as a WMS client (ie only *cascaded* WMS layers are shown). 2) adding "wms_getcontext_enabled" "1" to the map->web->metadata allows me to do a request=GetContext but I get the same result as (1). So for all you OGC gurus out there, Is there any way to convert a WMS-server-enabled mapfile OR a "Capabilities" XML to a WMC?? I guess the ideal solution would be to generate a WMC document based on the capabilties document. I suppose I could do it by hand but I'm just wondering if there is an easier way?

The current release (4.4) creates a hash with the WFS GetFeature URL and uses that as the filename (instead of using the whole URL like older versions did). If there is a case where it doesn't do the right thing then please let us know via a bug.

This helps me keep older client's on a platform that works while mucking about with more current/cvs builds. The approach I take is to run configure without any parameters and see what it picks up. Then work through the ones you really want/need building up a more complex configure statement. I store mine in a text file that I run so that I can always see what I did last time. I don't think you're going to have much of a different scenario than you followed last time, maybe a few more dependencies and a few more options?

I am not sure what I changed to cause this. Perhaps an external program changed something about how my computer creates images. However, even if I restore the gdal12.dll file that I used previously (or any other of the many versions I have), my image is still off-colour. It is greenish/yellowish compared to the normal colour. It is still 24bit jpeg, though. But the mapimages from all php_mapscript based sites that I run from this machine have suddenly got this greenish tint. I suspect it may be something about the overal system, because I once noticed how different machines (a win2k desktop, and an XP laptop) generated slightly differently coloured mapimages (different hue, different saturation), even though both machines were installed with the exact same mapserver files. I tried running the site using a browser on the host and on a different machine, but both images look greenish. Does anyone know what could affect the hue of the mapimage?

This message is to report my finding since a number of you seem to be tackling similar issues. To understand this message, you should get familiar with the MapServer bug #252. (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252) Symptom: We had compiled Apache 1.3.33, PHP 4.3.9 and MapServer 4.4.0. PHP mapscript seemed to work, but the mapserver CGI program was not able to produce any maps, instead providing the user with a segmentation fault. (Platform is Linux RedHat 9) Solution: I suspected that something was not compiled right (going out on a limb here...) and reviewed the Wiki (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxBuild) What has changed lately is that PHP's configure script is no longer accepting the option '--with-system-regex'. And as explained in bug #252, '--with-regex=system' does not provide the appropriate configuration. Therefore, I reverted to a less than ideal solution: I modified the PHP configure script. With the modifications I made, '--with-regex=system' behaves correctly for compiling mapserver with php_mapscript, when PHP is installed as a DSO. Here are the changes to PHP's configure file: 78193,78195c78193,78195 < if test "$PHP_SAPI" = "apache" || test "$PHP_SAPI" = "apache2filter" || test "$PHP_SAPI" = "apache2handler"; then < REGEX_TYPE=php < else --- > if test "$PHP_SAPI" = "apache" || test "$PHP_SAPI" = "apache2filter" || test "$PHP_SAPI" = "apache2handler"; then > REGEX_TYPE=system > else Obviously, this is for PHP 4.3.9, and since the configure script is changed for every version of PHP (generated), the line numbers might not match your particular version. By default, the configure script ignores the '--with-regex=xxx' option when '--with-apxs=xxx' is used. The change above ignores this check. With the above change, the instructions found in the Wiki page (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?LinuxBuild) can be followed as they are, with one exception: when configuring PHP, use '--with-regex=system' instead of '--with-system-regex' From lane.bramblett at US.IBM.COM Mon Jan 24 10:51:41 2005 From: lane.bramblett at US.IBM.COM (Lane C Bramblett) Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 12:51:41 -0600 Subject: Tutorial Problem Message-ID: I have installed the MapServer 4.0 tutorial and am trying to go through it.

It doesn't include Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania doesn't have much of a coast, and the coast from New York City to Eastport, Maine runs 4.2 degrees north and 7.0 degrees east, which is quite a bit closer to east than north, particularly in a lat/lon projection! I think you're being misled by your MapPoint map. I'm going to guess that it uses something like an Albers projection centered on the continent. This will cause the eastern portions of the US to appear to rotate counterclockwise. As a simple check, the northern borders of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts are all generally straight lines running east-west at constant latitude. Are they running straight right to left on your Map Point map, or are they running at an angle? Stretching the extents will not reproject the image. If your MapPoint map doesn't have the Connecticut-Massachusetts border as a right-left line, no amount of X and Y stretching will rotate it into the place you expect. If you want to duplicate the MapPoint map, the first thing you need to do is find out what projection it uses. It sounds like it is NOT the projection you think it is, and I don't think it's very productive to try to guess at it. - Ed P.S. Please remember to always send replies to the whole list - thanks!

It runs east/west or > northeast/southwest most of the time. Basically, the coastline from Pennsylvania up to Maine runs roughly to the northeast, but more north-south than east-west. My map via mapserver appears to be more east west. It's possible that microsoft mappoint just prints out screwy maps... but I'm trying to duplicate this map that was sent to me that was created in mappointe and I just can't seem to do it. I tried to set the extents for my output to match what the extents appear to be in the mappoint map (looking at cities that are close to the borders of the map and using the lat/long of those cities as my extents). I would think that mapserver would generate an image that would stretch or compress to fill the "image size" and I figured that would make the maps look alike (if I created an image size that was the same as or proportional to the map point map image size). It doesn't seem to do that though, regardless of what I set the Y extents to , it shows the same range, just shifts the map north or south. I am not sure if i'm expressing myself right, I hope you understand what I'm trying to do and what I'm actually seeing. Perhaps I could send you images if you don't understand what I mean.

I believe all of my shapefiles are NAD83... i'm not sure if they are all geographic but my guess is that they are. So I guess my only question is why my map looks so ... skewed I guess is the only word I can come up with at the moment. It just doesn't look right... the whole map seems almost twisted so that the coastline appears to be running more east/west than it should rather than north/south. Perhaps my "image size" is set wrong so that it's compressing one axis and stretching another.... I will just have to play with it I guess. Thanks for the great information.

Every geographic (i.e. latitude/longitude) and projected coordinate system is expressed relative to a datum. Many people incorrectly think that the latitude and longitude of a point are absolute, unchangeable values. Latitude and longitude are geographic coordinates expressed relative to a datum. If you change the datum, the coordinates will change. In the United States, the NAD27 and NAD83 datums are commonly used. WGS84 is also used because it is a world-wide datum, but in the USA you can consider it identical to NAD83. For example, I'm typing this from a location that's latitude 42.5860?N, 71.5553?W in WGS84/NAD83 coordinates, and 42.5859?N, 71.5558?W in NAD27 coordinates. Not a big difference, but a real one. If ALL of your shapefiles are geographic NAD83, things are pretty easy. If your input and output projections are all the same (and let's start with that case) then you can completely ignore projections. Just be sure the extents in your .mapfile are appropriate for the area and the UNITS are DD (decimal degrees). It sounded, however, from your last email, as if you'd already had that working. What works and doesn't work? Can you get one shapefile to display using latitude/longitude extents for the northeastern US? - Ed From jdport at VERITIME.COM Mon Jan 24 12:12:35 2005 From: jdport at VERITIME.COM (Jeff Portwine) Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 15:12:35 -0500 Subject: projection questions Message-ID: Well, I guess I didn't mean specifically "New England" but the general area.... my map includes most of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Conneticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, and part of Maine. It is entirely possible that as you said i'm being misled by the Map Point map... and that I just have to get used to how this looks , but regardless I need to understand what's going on so that when the people I'm doing this for ask me I can explain the difference :) I put up a quick and dirty web page: http://www.aiedail.net/maps so that you can see exactly what I'm talking about (I didn't want to attach images to an email for the entire list). I hope that these images will demonstrate what i've been trying to write in text. I'm not actually using mappoint data to create the map, so I have no idea how they project the data when they generate maps... but I can't really seem to make my output look any different regardless of what I use for output projection. If there is no way to make it look the same that's probably OK, i'm just trying to understand what's happening.

From your example it looks like your data is unprojected (in latlong) while the MapPoint map is in some other projection. You'll need to know what this projection is if you want an exact match. If all you want is to make your map look reasonably like the MapPoint map, then I suggest using one of the USGS projections-albers, lcc, lambert azimuthal equal area (the required parameters can be found on pretty much any commercial GIS software, or can be googled on the web). Now, you'll probably ask how to reproject in MapServer. Here's a quick instructions: 1. In your mapfile, define a PROJECTION object at the top level: MAP ... PROJECTION "proj_parameter" "value" #or, alternatively, "init=epsg:" END ... END This is your output projection so you want to define it as one of the projections I mentioned above. If you are using the EPSG codes, your init string will look like this: "init=epsg:2163". Search the archive for more info on Proj and projections. 2. Define your MAP EXTENT using your output projection units: Example: EXTENT 201621.496941 -294488.285333 1425518.020722 498254.511514 Your extent shouldn't be decimal degrees but rather in meters (or whatever unit youur projection uses). You can use the Proj utility "cs2cs" to convert your extent from latlong to your output projection. 3. Define your UNITS as METERS (or feet, this depends on your output projection) 4. For each LAYER you define, add a PROJECTION object: MAP ... PROJECTION "proj_parameter" "value" #or, alternatively, "init=epsg:" END ... LAYER #layer 1 ... PROJECTION "init=epsg:4326" # this is latlong in WGS84 datum and spheroid END END LAYER #layer 2 ... PROJECTION "init=epsg:4326" # this is latlong in WGS84 datum and spheroid END ... END The projection definition within the layer object is your input projection. I hope that helps. If you need to learn more about projections, search the web. Good luck! -Perry N.

I have undertaken the following steps 1. Created a multipoint shapefile 2. Loaded the multipoint shapefile into PostGIS as a MULTIPOINT table 3. Read and displayed the shapefile into MapServer as a POINT layer 4. Read and displayed the PostGIS MULTIPOINT table into MapServer as a POINT layer 5. Accessed the multipoint shapefile layer via WFS and successfully received back data with many entries. BUT 6. When accessing the MULTIPOINT PostGIS layer via WFS, the GML returned was unfortunately not MULTIPOINT GML. It returned only the first point in each section of data as a single point entry , so that most of the data was missing from the WFS output (even though it all displayed ok when visualised in MapServer). If anyone can help with a solution to this or with any information, it would be appreciated. I would like to know if it is possible to work around this or if it is a bug that could be fixed.

It's hard to tell for sure, but I think Steve's guess that MapPoint is using a transverse Mercator projection is a good one. If it's wrong, the results are pretty similar and you'll be pretty close. The tricky part is that MapPoint seems to use a transverse Mercator projection that is centered on the area viewed - the central meridian of the projection is set to the middle longitude on the map. You can see this by going to MapPoint, zooming out pretty far, then scrolling east and west. Lines that run east-west will curve upward (in the US) from the center, and as you move east and west the center of that curve will remain in the middle of the map image. Unfortunately, as the others have suggested, you do need to learn a little about map projections if you're going to deal with them. What you want can very easily be done by MapServer - you add PROJECTION blocks to each layer describing the INPUT projection of each data set (lat/lon) and you add a PROJECTION block to the map file to describe the OUTPUT projection of the map image (your custom transverse Mercator projection). - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeff Portwine Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 3:13 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] projection questions Well, I guess I didn't mean specifically "New England" but the general area.... my map includes most of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Conneticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, and part of Maine.

Ed always says something like that, and then I always post the following two links: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/ca_enabledynamiccontent.asp and http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/ca_configcgi.asp Look at your IIS (and Active Directory) configuration, not at mapserver, because the "problem" is with IIS. Ed's point is that it's not really a "problem", it's an added level of complexity in Win2003Server/IIS/AD.

All my sites look normal again, as opposed to nauseatingly greenish. I am curious which dll was to blame, though. There must be one of the DLL's that are used to encode the jpg compression that is also used by another program, and got overwritten. Thanks for your help.

I set every layer to "proj=latlong" with no other settings (I'm pretty sure that all the shapefiles I have are lat/long NAD83) and then in the map section I added a projection block. I tried a lot of different settings.... most of them just give me a blank map. I read on one of those web pages that Massachusettes has a standard projection of Lamberts Conformal Conic with 2 latitudes of 41.6 and 42.7. So, I converted my extents over with the cs2cs utility and set my output projection to: PROJECTION "proj=lcc" "lat_1=41.6" "lat_2=42.7" END This actually came out better than anything else I've tried... the extents looked like they were about as correct as I could get them but the entire map was twisted clockwise about 45 degrees.... The rest of my attempts revolved around the Transvers Mercator projection. I tried using UTM: PROJECTION "proj=utm" "ellps=GRS80" "zone=19" "north" "no_defs" END These settings were from an example in the mapserver mapfile documentation, I used zone 19, though the area i'm mapping is right on the line between zone 18 and zone 19. PROJECTION "proj=tmerc" "k=0.9996" "x_0=0" "y_0=500000" "lat_0=42.75" "lon_0=73.8" END I got these settings from http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/transverse_mercator.html and used the longitude and latitude of Albany as my lat/long of origin since that was roughly in the middle of my map. Of the multitude of attempts I made to get the right settings, these two made the most sense to me based on what I'd read... but they didn't work at all, or perhaps I just screwed up when I was getting my extents. This stuff is really really confusing, adn I'm beginning to wonder if I should just use the lat/long map even though it's not really right and looks funny.... but any pointers on how to get the right settings is really appreciated. -Jeff From palanisamyg at ORNL.GOV Tue Jan 25 08:16:42 2005 From: palanisamyg at ORNL.GOV (Palanisamy, Giri) Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 11:16:42 -0500 Subject: [rosa-users] Rosa applet for mapserver Message-ID: Great!, it worked thanks!

Mark, For this to work you need datum shifting working. The key to datum shifting is that at runtime PROJ.4 (used by MapServer) needs to find the NAD27 grid shift files. Default installs of PROJ.4 don't even include the grid shift files. When they are present the main one is named "conus" (for Continental US). On unix it would be found in /usr/local/share/proj by default. If you have the file, it might still not be found. If this is the problem then you need to define the PROJ_LIB environment variable to point to the directory where the file is located. You likely don't need to do this if your EPSG lookups are working as the EPSG lookup file is in the same place as the grid shift files. If you have all that in place, and things are still not working then it might be related incomplete coordinate system definitions in one of your PROJECTION blocks. Is both your UTM 17 NAD27 layer and your map as a whole defined with init=EPSG:26717? If you emailed me your .map file I could make a quick inspection that you have complete definitions everywhere.

The PROJECTION block in the MAP section of the file is your output projection. It does absolutely nothing unless you also have a projection block defined in some of you LAYER blocks and it is different than the output projection requested. Any LAYER that does NOT have a PROJECTION block is assumed to be the same as the output PROJECTION. Also, your EXTENTS need to be defined in the OUTPUT projection space NOT the INPUT projection space. ALSO and CGI parameters need to be specified in the OUTPUT projection space also. So, if you do not have more than one projection space defined in your mapfile, then NO projections are occurring. Also from you description below, "NAD 27 zone 17" implies that you data is in A) NAD 27 datum AND B) in a UTM zone 17 projection. Are you sure your NAD 83 data layer is also in UTM Zone 17 projection OR is it unprojected lat,long data? Typically, UTM data has coordinates like 1000000, 800000 and lat,long data has coordinates like +-90.0, +-180.0. If you point disappears when you turn on a projection it typically means that it skewed way off the your other data because you have specified a projection that does not really match the data you applied it to. I would go back and verify that your data is in the projection that you are claiming it is in. -Steve W.

For LINE and POINT types, you | should have a STYLE in your class. | | Thanks | Julien | - -- Aaron Craig mercutio at pobox.com =========================================================== Get Firefox! http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=0&t=1 =========================================================== - -=-=- Its not enough to speak, but to speak true -- Midsummer Night's Dream, Act v, Sc.1 - -=-=- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFB9nY+oyEQRcU83p4RAqqMAJ9KotW9jBHZE3OfyXrdHESz40mUNACfeL3O HpHnxyOcOU44Dvymk1XbyDk= =UlwJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From nhv at CAPE.COM Tue Jan 25 08:55:20 2005 From: nhv at CAPE.COM (Norman Vine) Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 11:55:20 -0500 Subject: projection questions In-Reply-To: <006701c502f8$02e90de0$1bf2fbd0@solo> Message-ID: Jeff Portwine writes: > > I've looked through a lot of information, the links you all sent, and other > places on the web, but I simply can't figure out how to get the settings > right for projecting my map. > This > stuff is really really confusing, adn I'm beginning to wonder if I should > just use the lat/long map even though it's not really right and looks > funny.... but any pointers on how to get the right settings is really > appreciated. maybe this will help http://erg.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/MapProjections/projections.html hint "What projection would the USGS use for your map ?"

Mark, For this to work you need datum shifting working. The key to datum shifting is that at runtime PROJ.4 (used by MapServer) needs to find the NAD27 grid shift files. Default installs of PROJ.4 don't even include the grid shift files. When they are present the main one is named "conus" (for Continental US). On unix it would be found in /usr/local/share/proj by default. If you have the file, it might still not be found. If this is the problem then you need to define the PROJ_LIB environment variable to point to the directory where the file is located. You likely don't need to do this if your EPSG lookups are working as the EPSG lookup file is in the same place as the grid shift files. If you have all that in place, and things are still not working then it might be related incomplete coordinate system definitions in one of your PROJECTION blocks. Is both your UTM 17 NAD27 layer and your map as a whole defined with init=EPSG:26717? If you emailed me your .map file I could make a quick inspection that you have complete definitions everywhere.

You need to know how to describe the projection via its parameters, and details are important. For example, the Massachusetts Mainland State Plane projection you mention is described as: PROJECTION "proj=lcc" "lat_1=42.683333333" "lat_2=41.716666667" "lat_0=41.000000000" "lon_0=-71.500000000" "x_0=200000.000" "y_0=750000.000" "ellps=GRS80" "datum=NAD83" "units=m" "no_defs" END If, however, you use cs2cs to calculate the extents you want using the projection definition you created, then you're likely to get results that are at least visible - you don't really need to duplicate the Mass. State Plane coordinates. But if you create extreme conditions you might NOT get what you want, which is what you did with your last Transverse Mercator definition. Your last attempt at Transverse Mercator wasn't bad - but you forgot that Albany is in the Western hemisphere and centered the projection in Kyrgyzstan. Again, details REALLY matter with projections. They're the perfect "garbage in, garbage out" example - you'll get exactly what you asked for, whether you wanted it or not. Mapping a point 180 degrees away from the center of a Transverse Mercator projection will give you nonsense (it's undefined in that projection), which may be why you got nothing at all. The old New York State Plane East Zone projection was Transverse Mercator and is a decent starting point. Here's what it looks like, modified to NAD83 and meters from the original NAD27 feet: PROJECTION "proj=tmerc" "lat_0=40.000000000" "lon_0=-74.333333333" "k=0.999967" "ellps=GRS80" "datum=NAD83" "units=m" "no_defs" END Use cs2cs to calculate the extents you want and give it a try. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Portwine [mailto:jdport at veritime.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 11:08 AM To: Ed McNierney; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] projection questions I've looked through a lot of information, the links you all sent, and other places on the web, but I simply can't figure out how to get the settings right for projecting my map. I set every layer to "proj=latlong" with no other settings (I'm pretty sure that all the shapefiles I have are lat/long NAD83) and then in the map section I added a projection block. I tried a lot of different settings.... most of them just give me a blank map. I read on one of those web pages that Massachusettes has a standard projection of Lamberts Conformal Conic with 2 latitudes of 41.6 and 42.7. So, I converted my extents over with the cs2cs utility and set my output projection to: PROJECTION "proj=lcc" "lat_1=41.6" "lat_2=42.7" END This actually came out better than anything else I've tried... the extents looked like they were about as correct as I could get them but the entire map was twisted clockwise about 45 degrees.... The rest of my attempts revolved around the Transvers Mercator projection. I tried using UTM: PROJECTION "proj=utm" "ellps=GRS80" "zone=19" "north" "no_defs" END These settings were from an example in the mapserver mapfile documentation, I used zone 19, though the area i'm mapping is right on the line between zone 18 and zone 19. PROJECTION "proj=tmerc" "k=0.9996" "x_0=0" "y_0=500000" "lat_0=42.75" "lon_0=73.8" END I got these settings from http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/transverse_mercator.html and used the longitude and latitude of Albany as my lat/long of origin since that was roughly in the middle of my map. Of the multitude of attempts I made to get the right settings, these two made the most sense to me based on what I'd read... but they didn't work at all, or perhaps I just screwed up when I was getting my extents. This stuff is really really confusing, adn I'm beginning to wonder if I should just use the lat/long map even though it's not really right and looks funny.... but any pointers on how to get the right settings is really appreciated. -Jeff From ed at TOPOZONE.COM Tue Jan 25 09:38:46 2005 From: ed at TOPOZONE.COM (Ed McNierney) Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 12:38:46 -0500 Subject: projection woes Message-ID: Matt - It's not a matter of MapServer being picky - the "epsg" is actually a filename, and on case-sensitive operating systems, case matters. - Ed Ed McNierney President and Chief Mapmaker TopoZone.com / Maps a la carte, Inc. 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 ed at topozone.com (978) 251-4242 -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Matthew Perry Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 12:32 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] projection woes You might try using "init=epsg:26717" instead of "init=EPSG:26717".

Yes, this *should* be all you need. Be sure that the "ViewRegion" list is inside the form tags (i.e. between and ). As well, you can modify the code to give you some feedback on what is happening: i.e. // check if quick zoom is requested if ( isset( $http_form_vars['ViewRegion'] ) && strlen($http_form_vars['ViewRegion'] ) > 0 ) { // debug echo 'quick zoom now.....'; // separate values $adExtents = explode( ',', $http_form_vars['ViewRegion'] ); // set extent $oMapSession->oMap->setExtent( $adExtents[0], $adExtents[1],$adExtents[2], $adExtents[3] ); } else { echo 'no quick zoom'; } If you run that, you should see the appropriate message based on what you are doing.

I have an application that is concerned with the mapping of glacier extents. Hence, alot of our data are at the poles. I have some javascript that switches the interface between eqc(lat long) and polar stereographic (north and south) projections depending on the location of the user. I set this up by simply creating a hidden variable called "map_projection" and replacing the [map_projection] value with the desired projection definitions, everything works fine. But now I'm trying to integrate the ability to be able to switch the reference image whenever the projection change takes place. I know the reference image relies on a number parameters within the reference object so I'll need to change all those too. But for now I just need to change the image. Im using a form variable called: name="map_reference_image" value="[map_reference_image]" And I'm using javascript to change the value between "data/topo.png" and "data/antarctica.png" I have the feeling that its something with the creation the /tmp/ image.

When I launch the shell script from a much simpler python module (whose only function is to call the shell script), it runs flawlessly. In my main Mapserver application, however, I have tried calling the shell script using two different methods in Python, one with arguments (e.g. passing some map extents), and another without arguments (e.g. where I hard code some map extents). They get different errors, both seeming to involve a problem with starting R. It seems to be a problem with running processes, but I don't understand how to correct it: Call #1 from my Mapserver code involves calling a locally defined function (derived from the O'Reilly Python Standard Library Book): def run(program, *args): pid=os.fork() if not pid: os.execvp(program, (program, ) + args) return os.wait()[0] #I then set some values for north, south, east, and west run(elevation_density.sh, north, south, east, west) The error returned: [Tue Jan 25 15:02:48 2005] [error] [client 129.24.73.222] malformed header from script. Bad header=Setting GISRC environmental sh: python_mapscript.py, referer: http://falstaff.unm.edu/cgi- bin/reason/python_mapscript.py [Tue Jan 25 15:02:48 2005] [error] [client 129.24.73.222] /usr/local/grass53/scripts/elevation_density.sh: line 75: R: command not found, referer: http://falstaff.unm.edu/cgi-bin/reason/python_mapscript.py Call#2 from my Mapserver code uses the os.system() function (where I hard code some extents in the Bash shell script) os.system("elevation_density.sh") The error returned is basically the same as above. Again, a simple python module with one of the two function calls above works just fine. It is only when I make the calls from within my larger block of Mapserver Python code that I get errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you can lend a suggestion. I want to manipulate the draw order using a list of layer names from the client. I'd like to do this: ... curI = 0 for layerName in layerList: layerO = mapO.getLayerByName(layerName) while layerO.index > curI: mapO.moveLayerUp( layerO.index ) curI += 1 ... The problem, if I understand it, is that the layer index is indeed being moved up in the drawing order, but the index values don't change. Thus, my while statement runs forever. I see there are get/setLayersDrawingOrder methods but how much work is it to set them up?

The Mapserver SLD How-To mentions that only PointPlacement is supported (my geometry type is line, of course), though it mentions that the Angle element should be translated to the mapfile ANGLE equivalent. So, I thought I'd give it a shot... AUTO This didn't work, and I also tried substuting Rotation for Angle (for SLD spec compliance in case there was an error in the How-To), but that did not work either. My label draws over the line feature, just not rotated like ANGLE AUTO does. There don't seem to be any other options for me to try so I'm not too hopeful, but if someone could confirm whether it's possible either way I'd be grateful.

I was going to point you this document http://users.frii.com/sgillies/projects/mapscript/python.html but then realized that I've neglected to document those methods. For their usage, look at tests of the MapLayersTestCase in mapscript/python/tests/cases/maptest.py. getLayerOrder() returns a tuple of ints and setLayerOrder takes a tuple of ints. These methods work directly on the mapObj's drawing order and will be much faster than moving layers up and down. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From ltiu at ALUMNI.SFU.CA Tue Jan 25 16:05:48 2005 From: ltiu at ALUMNI.SFU.CA (Lyndon Tiu) Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 16:05:48 -0800 Subject: MapServer and Oracle Spatial Message-ID: Hello, I have: 1) Mapserver 4.4.1 on Linux compiled with oraclespatial support. 2) Oracle Spatial 10g on Solaris. 3) Tnsnames are configured properly and sqlplus from the Linux command line can connect to Oracle database on Solaris box. 4) Listener and database have both been started and are both running on Solaris box. 5) mapserver map file: LAYER NAME "oggma" CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial CONNECTION "user/pass at orasptl" DATA "GEOM FROM OGGMA USING SRID NULL" STATUS ON TYPE POLYGON CLASS STYLE OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 COLOR 225 225 185 END END PROJECTION "init=epsg:42102" END END The connect string: user/pass at ora10g works fine from the command line and from Oracle Enterprise Manager so I know tnsnames is configured properly.

I think GDAL is picking the wrong dimension for x. The netCDF driver also doesn't handle multiple variables in one netCDF file gracefully. As it happens, you are once again operating on the frontier I am interested in advancing. In particular, I am interested in improving the netCDF driver. Would you mind pointing me to the netCDF file in question so I can try and use it as an example while I work on the driver.

Dominic, First, I would encourage you to read over the MapServer 4.4 Raster HOWTO. I believe it talks a bit about scaling and classification of raster data. But you also need to ensure that GDAL is "seeing" the proper values in your netCDF file. The first way to check is to run gdalinfo with the -mm flag. This should report the minimum and maximum of the data. If those values look OK, you should try viewing the file with a GDAL based viewer such as OpenEV.

Adam, I agree with Sean as we have never used the queryMapObj here, but rather just another mapObj. There have been a few issues that have come up pertaining to the queryMapObj and for a spell I thought it should go the way of the DBFInfo object, at least as far as the documentation goes for mapscript.

Dominic, First, I would encourage you to read over the MapServer 4.4 Raster HOWTO. I believe it talks a bit about scaling and classification of raster data. But you also need to ensure that GDAL is "seeing" the proper values in your netCDF file. The first way to check is to run gdalinfo with the -mm flag. This should report the minimum and maximum of the data. If those values look OK, you should try viewing the file with a GDAL based viewer such as OpenEV. Assuming the values are coming through properly, you may find you need to control the scaling explicitly in your mapfile. To do that you would put something like the following with a minimum and maximum appropriate to your data.

We've tried messing with a variety of CGI parameters, mapfile parameters, etc ... without success. If someone could share their successfull experience with this feature, it'd be much appreciated. Even better, if one of the developpers "in the know" could detail the exact way it's supposed to work, I'll add it to the mapfile reference ...

Now you guys are confusing me. First of all, I don't know how to display only a set of features quickly other than manipulating the resultCache (querying or loading a query file) and then doing a mapObj.drawQuery(). I'm not using a queryMapObject (at least not directly or consciously), and I'm not sure what it is. And if I were to script this myself, do you mean run through each layer and do a layerObj.drawQuery()? I guess that's easy enough. And that way I could get around the whole ordering issue. Wait...this is sounding pretty good.

I moved the code in the 'contents.php' to 'higher up' in the file (no longer at bottom). Once I select the region from the dropdown list, and click refresh, the map zooms to where it should. However, the list defaults back to the first option. It would also be nice to implement an 'onchange' event, so that I don't have to use the refresh button to zoom to the region (I'm wondering when things do work, if adding a layer and refreshing will automatically zoom to the first extent in the 'View Region' drop down list).

Compiling mapserver with fatscgi support you can create a little "cache" for your connections.(am I right?) So, one process of mapserver remains in the memory of webserver, and every request for the mapserver the fastcgi checks if don't exist any connection in the memory if yes the mapserver reuse this conection. It's very fast. If you didn't compile mapserver with fastcgi support the mapserver create a little "cache" for your connection, but after to draw all of the layers that you selected the mapserver don't remains in memory. I don't know if this helped you, but fastcgi can be the best solution.

You can send an SLD to MapServer when you want to highlight some features. Roughly, the SLD will have 2 styling rules - one for the highlighting and another one for the default style. It will look something like the following for a point layer: LAYER_NAME ATTR VAL circle #00FFFF 6.0 ATTR VAL circle #0000FF 6.0 This is based on a point layer drawn with 6 pixel wide circles. It will highlight features that have ATTR=VAL in yellow, while drawing the rest of the features in blue. You'll probably want to make sure the 'other' rule (in the case above, the one inside the Not element) has rendering consistent with the default rendering in the mapfile. If you have a large number of classes defined in your mapfile, this method can get extremely cumbersome, but it's the best way I can come up with at the moment. Would be nice to not have to specify the rendering for the non-highlighted features, and have MapServer just fall back to the rendering defined in the mapfile, but that can't be done at the moment. There's more information on sending SLDs to MapServer at the SLD How-To (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/sld-howto.html).

I followed your instructions - but the 'QuickZoom' is not working yet (my normal rosa tools and legend works though). Here's what I did: 1. added the OnChange command called QuickZoom() to the Select statement in my app_contents.php 2. added the QuickZoom() function (in app_contents.php) - sets 'doQuickZoom' = 1 3. added the hidden variable (in app_contents.php) - sets 'doQuickZoom' = "" Through error checking I noticed that the function is being called properly, and the variable is being assigned the value from the function. 4. added the 'if statement' to my app.php: If ( isset( $HTTP_FORM_VARS['doQuickZoom']) && $HTTP_FORM_VARS ['doQuickZoom'] == "1" ) { set new extents..same code as before. } However, it seems that the 'doQuickZoom' does not retain it's value of 1, instead it becomes "" again (each time I select from the 'quickmap' list and page refreshes). Even if I hardcode the hidden variable 'doQuickZoom' to be 1, and select the 'quickmap', the mapextents do not change. Does this make sense?

This makes sense. But, using the following statement: If ( isset( $HTTP_FORM_VARS['doQuickZoom']) && $HTTP_FORM_VARS ['doQuickZoom'] == "1" ) This returns a false, and the QuickZoom php code is not executed. Using this statement: If ( isset( $HTTP_FORM_VARS['doQuickZoom']) && $HTTP_FORM_VARS ['doQuickZoom'] == "" ) Also returns a false. Using this statement: If ($HTTP_FORM_VARS['doQuickZoom'] == "") Returns a TRUE - and the php code is executed. But the map does not draw to the desired extents.

Message-ID: Ok, I need some help with this one. I have a map where all the layers are in lat/long coordinates, so I don't do any projections. I use queryByPoint and distanceToShape to find the closest item in a shapefile to a given point (nearest subway stop, for example). I have all this working just fine, but the distance I receive from distanceToShape is in decimal degrees. I'd like to convert this to miles. Anyone have a good solution? The result doesn't need to be too precise, but the more precise the better. The issues I see as causing problems are: 1) Degrees of longitude vary in length the further north you are. My map only covers a limited area (northern Illinois) so I wouldn't be adverse to using a 'fixed' value for that conversion, but if I could be more exact I'd like to be. 2) The distance I have doesn't tell me anything about the direction; if two points are of equal distance in latlong, one to the east or west would actually be 'closer' than one to the north or south, correct (unless you're at the equator); I'm guessing I'll have to calculate the difference in latitude, convert it to miles, then calculate the difference in longitude, convert it to miles, and then use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance. Is this sounding correct? Or for distances under 2 miles will this even make a noticeable difference?

Message-ID: Camden - If you're dealing with a relatively small geographic area, why don't you just "do the right thing" and use a real map projection? All your source layers stay in lat/lon coordinates and you use a PROJECTION block to define the output projection of your map. Then your output units will be in meters or feet and distanceToShape will simply give you the right answer. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Camden Daily Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 4:35 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Converting lat/long distance to miles.

I don't remember exactly, but I guess that the php installation doesn't create this directory. You have to create one and then set the extension_dir to this directory, and then put your extensions in it. About gd, you can run configure --with-gd, and that will create the php binary with the gd extension in it. If you use extension = .so, the extension has to be in the extension directory.

If you temporarily changed the projection of your map to stateplane for northern Illinois wouldn't the result be in feet, letting proj.4 do the math.?

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with the small size of the executables. They are small because they were compiled against a dynamic libmap.dll library--the library isn't part of the executable but rather external to it. You can think of mapserv.exe as a wrapper to the external libmap.dll file. When you execute mapserv.exe, it will look for libmap.dll and the other DLL files it needs. Why do this? No other reason than to make the downloadable archives smaller and faster to download. Again, there's nothing wrong with the small size of the executable.

You shouldn't even have to setup a separate layer to show queried parcels (though there are ways to do this). I suggest starting out with one layer that renders queried and non-queried parcels at the same time. Once you get the hang of that then you can do two different layers (if you still even want to). Make the layer like this: LAYER NAME "parcels" DATA "parcels" STATUS on TYPE polygon CLASS OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 0 END TEMPLATE "x" # Must be present to query on (though "x" means absolutely nothing). END The above layer will render all your parcels green outline with hollow fill. Then when you use the PHP code to query it will render your queried parcels red. This assumes you have QUERYMAP setup correctly. -Abe On Jan 22, 2005, at 7:12 PM, Steve Lehr wrote: Abe I've never used the QUERY MAP before, I tried putting it in the layer and it did not like that?

If not, I don't think output debug messages is possible. I would add that in at least some circumstances debug messages go to the error_log file.

Camden, I don't think it is possible to just change the units to miles for a DD projection, but I've never tried that.? However, being that all your layers and map are epsg:4326, temporarily assigning another epsg code to the map and units to miles with each layer staying epsg:4326 shouldn't be to difficult.

I ended up getting the highligting to work -- with your suggestions, though I thought I would be smart and change the QUERYMAP style to selected - not so smart, after reading the STYLE options for QUERYMAP it highlighted the found parcels just as it did not found parcels as defined in the layer definition... so for quite awhile I did not see that I had found the 2 shapes it has said it found (the selected sytle option defaults to layer queried definition - and thus it just rendered the green line as it did for the other parcels not found in the query, but as found in the layer itself). Anyway, changed that back to hilight as you said and it worked fine. I searched the emails pretty hard to find a way to render the highlighted shapes a little better, Ken from DNR was the only post I could find. Then I thought about it some more and derived a much simpiler solution ... set up a new layer, create a class with an expression, then send in the expression variable or set the expression in PHP however you choose to operate (i.e. cgi or scripting). i.e. CLASSITEM ID CLASS EXPRESSION /%list%/ #NOTE var set in via CGI would be list --> ....&list=1|2|3&.. or $new_expression = "/".$list."/"; $class->setexpression($new_expression); No querymap needed and much better control of layer formatting. Additionally, I can continue to pass the variable $list around (containing list of parcels) and then let the user browse my map with the list of parcels highlighted and peek and poke at other data. And of course add to the list or cull from the list. Thanks again for the help of this tremendous list!

You shouldn't even have to setup a separate layer to show queried parcels (though there are ways to do this). I suggest starting out with one layer that renders queried and non-queried parcels at the same time. Once you get the hang of that then you can do two different layers (if you still even want to). Make the layer like this: LAYER NAME "parcels" DATA "parcels" STATUS on TYPE polygon CLASS OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 0 END TEMPLATE "x" # Must be present to query on (though "x" means absolutely nothing). END The above layer will render all your parcels green outline with hollow fill. Then when you use the PHP code to query it will render your queried parcels red. This assumes you have QUERYMAP setup correctly. -Abe On Jan 22, 2005, at 7:12 PM, Steve Lehr wrote: Abe I've never used the QUERY MAP before, I tried putting it in the layer and it did not like that?

I would not use an eval though, I would create and array initializer and just populate the values directly into the array. So do something like the following (I will leave the exact syntax up to you to figure out): I think you need to break this into three separate files, ie; header, template and footer so if the file names are header.html, template.heml and footer.html, you would break up the code like this: ========header.html============== ... var num_rows = [nr]; var data = new Array( ========template.html============ [DBASE column_name], ========footer.html============== 0); // probably need the trailing "0" beacue of the comma above ... // now loop through your array using num_rows to compute whatever ================================== I'm a little rusty with my javascript and use of query templates, but this should give you the idea. I am assuming that the mapserver templating will repeat the [DBASE column_name], line once for every row. if this is not right maybe some else will post the correct syntax. -Steve W.

Hope this makes sense: I?d appreciate any ideas on calculating imgext in projected coordinates around a lat/lon point. Can mapserver project a DD imgext on the fly? Or, can I make a separate call to mapserver to project a lat/lon point prior to building an imgext? My limitation (one, anyway) is that I?m using basic cgi mapserver at this point. Here?s why I?m asking: I have mapserver displaying gps points using OGR. I also display the gps and related data in tabular format. Links in the table zoom the map ? the link passes the record?s lat/lon to a javascript function which builds a new imgext around the point, passes that to the template file and resubmits the cgi url. This works great if map is in geographic coordinates but not if it is projected.

In-Reply-To: <20050127132243.6D1471A65A5@mail.medinaco.org> Message-ID: Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but I still can't figure this out. I've added projection blocks for all of my layers and an output projection as well (epsg 4326 for lat/long). The difficulties I'm having seem to be mostly based on the fact that I initially need to set my extents and place various points on the map using lat/long with units of decimal degrees. However, when I then calculate my distances, I'd like the results in miles. It seems to me that I should be able to set my extents, place my points, then reproject both the points and the layer I'm searching against to a projection that uses meters (which I can easily convert to miles) for the distance calculations, but this just isn't working for me. Here's the code I'm using to try to find distances: // clone the layer $layer = $map->getLayerByName($layer_name); $temp_layer = ms_newLayerObj($map, $layer); // clone the point $temp_point = ms_newPointObj(); $temp_point->setXY($point->x, $point->y); // project cloned point and layer to NAD83 / Illinois East so that our calculated distance are in meters, not dd $temp_point->project(ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:4326"), ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:26971")); $temp_layer->setProjection("init=epsg:26971"); // the toleranceunits don't have to be the same as the projection units to work $temp_layer->set("toleranceunits", MS_MILES); $tolerance = 1; $found_flag = false; while (!$found_flag AND ($tolerance < 30)) { $temp_layer->set("tolerance", $tolerance); $temp_layer->queryByPoint($temp_point, MS_MULTIPLE, -1); $num_results = $temp_layer->getNumResults(); if ($num_results > 0) { $found_flag = true; } else { $tolerance += 1; } } echo $num_results; If I comment out the two lines that reproject the point and layer, it works perfectly, except that my distance is in dd. With the reprojections, I don't get any results at all. I don't think it's an issue with my toleranceunits being in miles, since it works fine that way even when my projections are in units of dd. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

The layer > displays fine, but the symbol backgrounds aren't transparent. > Camden, the PHP mapscript maintainers may have overlooked MS_ALPHA. Let them know through Bugzilla. At any rate, the alpha transparency is only needed when you are trying to render a transparent background symbol onto a 24-bit map (like a JPEG). It has no positive effect for 8-bit output (such as a GIF). In that case, you should make sure that your symbol background is set properly and omit the transparency directive. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies From cdaily at GMAIL.COM Thu Jan 27 14:42:18 2005 From: cdaily at GMAIL.COM (Camden Daily) Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 16:42:18 -0600 Subject: Transparent pixmaps in Mapserver 4.4.1 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Thanks Sean.

As usual, this new release includes the latest snapshots of GDAL, OpenEV and MapServer (4.5). Other noteworthy FWTools changes: Win32: o Upgraded to Python 2.3. o Upgraded to ECW 3.1 SDK. Linux: o Added OGR SQLite support. I *intend* to add ECW support on Linux soon, but I wasn't able to get it in this release due to build problems with the old gcc (2.95) I use for FWTools builds. I also hope to upgrade Linux to Python 2.3 but that may be a while. I am also working irregularly on building OpenEV on MacOSX with the intent of eventually producing an FWTools release for that platform. No timeline for completion though. As usual the release can be downloaded from: http://www.gdal.org/dl/fwtools/FWTools095.exe http://www.gdal.org/dl/fwtools/FWTools-linux-0.9.5.tar.gz General information, mailing list, and bugzilla for FWTools is available at: http://ftools.maptools.org/ Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | Geospatial Programmer for Rent From nchandra at IITB.AC.IN Thu Jan 27 23:56:35 2005 From: nchandra at IITB.AC.IN (Nishant Chandra) Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 01:56:35 -0600 Subject: Mapserver/Mysql Message-ID: I have a Maperver installation on windows and would like to use Mysql for spatial data.

Your layer type is LINE, but in your table you seem to have a POINT layer. Am I right? So if you want to show points you should use TYPE POINT or if you only want to show the labels, you should use: TYPE ANNOTATION 2. You don't have any style in your class. For LINE and POINT types, you should have a STYLE in your class.

Camden, I don't think it is possible to just change the units to miles for a DD projection, but I've never tried that.? However, being that all your layers and map are epsg:4326, temporarily assigning another epsg code to the map and units to miles with each layer staying epsg:4326 shouldn't be to difficult.

The query works fine in so much that it returns the desired data and dumps this into the specifed template. So far so good... But what I really want to obtain is the average of these values. I've been scratching my head and thought I might be able to do something using the EVAL() javascript function but I've not had any joy.

I ended up getting the highligting to work -- with your suggestions, though I thought I would be smart and change the QUERYMAP style to selected - not so smart, after reading the STYLE options for QUERYMAP it highlighted the found parcels just as it did not found parcels as defined in the layer definition... so for quite awhile I did not see that I had found the 2 shapes it has said it found (the selected sytle option defaults to layer queried definition - and thus it just rendered the green line as it did for the other parcels not found in the query, but as found in the layer itself). Anyway, changed that back to hilight as you said and it worked fine. I searched the emails pretty hard to find a way to render the highlighted shapes a little better, Ken from DNR was the only post I could find. Then I thought about it some more and derived a much simpiler solution ... set up a new layer, create a class with an expression, then send in the expression variable or set the expression in PHP however you choose to operate (i.e. cgi or scripting). i.e. CLASSITEM ID CLASS EXPRESSION /%list%/ #NOTE var set in via CGI would be list --> ....&list=1|2|3&.. or $new_expression = "/".$list."/"; $class->setexpression($new_expression); No querymap needed and much better control of layer formatting.

I would not use an eval though, I would create and array initializer and just populate the values directly into the array. So do something like the following (I will leave the exact syntax up to you to figure out): I think you need to break this into three separate files, ie; header, template and footer so if the file names are header.html, template.heml and footer.html, you would break up the code like this: ========header.html============== ... var num_rows = [nr]; var data = new Array( ========template.html============ [DBASE column_name], ========footer.html============== 0); // probably need the trailing "0" beacue of the comma above ... // now loop through your array using num_rows to compute whatever ================================== I'm a little rusty with my javascript and use of query templates, but this should give you the idea. I am assuming that the mapserver templating will repeat the [DBASE column_name], line once for every row. if this is not right maybe some else will post the correct syntax. -Steve W. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 10:32:44 -0500 From: Stephen Woodbridge Subject: Re: Debug Logging Also, I think there is a bug in the debug logging or at least a documentation problem on MS 4.4.1 DEBUG ON In the map section, then layer timing information goes to stderr which ends up in the webserver error.log.

Hope this makes sense: I'd appreciate any ideas on calculating imgext in projected coordinates around a lat/lon point. Can mapserver project a DD imgext on the fly? Or, can I make a separate call to mapserver to project a lat/lon point prior to building an imgext? My limitation (one, anyway) is that I'm using basic cgi mapserver at this point. Here's why I'm asking: I have mapserver displaying gps points using OGR. I also display the gps and related data in tabular format. Links in the table zoom the map - the link passes the record's lat/lon to a javascript function which builds a new imgext around the point, passes that to the template file and resubmits the cgi url. This works great if map is in geographic coordinates but not if it is projected.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but I still can't figure this out. I've added projection blocks for all of my layers and an output projection as well (epsg 4326 for lat/long). The difficulties I'm having seem to be mostly based on the fact that I initially need to set my extents and place various points on the map using lat/long with units of decimal degrees. However, when I then calculate my distances, I'd like the results in miles. It seems to me that I should be able to set my extents, place my points, then reproject both the points and the layer I'm searching against to a projection that uses meters (which I can easily convert to miles) for the distance calculations, but this just isn't working for me. Here's the code I'm using to try to find distances: // clone the layer $layer = $map->getLayerByName($layer_name); $temp_layer = ms_newLayerObj($map, $layer); // clone the point $temp_point = ms_newPointObj(); $temp_point->setXY($point->x, $point->y); // project cloned point and layer to NAD83 / Illinois East so that our calculated distance are in meters, not dd $temp_point->project(ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:4326"), ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:26971")); $temp_layer->setProjection("init=epsg:26971"); // the toleranceunits don't have to be the same as the projection units to work $temp_layer->set("toleranceunits", MS_MILES); $tolerance = 1; $found_flag = false; while (!$found_flag AND ($tolerance < 30)) { $temp_layer->set("tolerance", $tolerance); $temp_layer->queryByPoint($temp_point, MS_MULTIPLE, -1); $num_results = $temp_layer->getNumResults(); if ($num_results > 0) { $found_flag = true; } else { $tolerance += 1; } } echo $num_results; If I comment out the two lines that reproject the point and layer, it works perfectly, except that my distance is in dd. With the reprojections, I don't get any results at all. I don't think it's an issue with my toleranceunits being in miles, since it works fine that way even when my projections are in units of dd. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 12:15:36 -0600 From: Camden Daily Subject: Re: Converting lat/long distance to miles.

Here's the working function I'm using to find the closest shape to a point and the distance in meters, as opposed to latlong: function get_closest($layer, $point) { global $map; $layer = $map->getLayerByName($layer); $layer->set("toleranceunits", MS_MILES); // loop through, increasing the tolerance each time until we find some matches $tolerance = 1; $found_flag = false; while (!$found_flag AND ($tolerance < 30)) { $layer->set("tolerance", $tolerance); $layer->queryByPoint($point, MS_MULTIPLE, -1); $num_results = $layer->getNumResults(); if ($num_results > 0) { $found_flag = true; } else { $tolerance += 1; } } if ($num_results == 0) { return array(-1); } else { // clone the point $temp_point = ms_newPointObj(); $temp_point->setXY($point->x, $point->y); // project cloned point to NAD83 / Illinois East so that our calculated distance are in meters, not dd $temp_point->project(ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:4326"), ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:26971")); // set our min_distance to a very large value $min_distance = 999999999999; // loop through our results and see which on is closest $layer->open(); for ($i=0; $i < $num_results; $i++) { $result = $layer->getResult($i); $shape = $layer->getShape($result->tileindex, $result->shapeindex); // reproject our shape to the same projection as our cloned point $shape->project(ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:4326"), ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:26971")); $distance = $temp_point->distanceToShape($shape); if ($distance < $min_distance) { $min_distance = $distance; $closest = $shape; } } $layer->close(); return array($min_distance, $closest); } } Thanks again for the help everyone! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 10:16:00 -0800 From: Blaine Hackett Subject: shifting .gif colors All I have a mapserver app showing roads, counties, road symbols, text, etc. When I zoom in or out, I get odd looking color changes mostly for the symbols. What is supposed to be red might show up as a different color, many times dull green or brown, until I zoom in and then it is turns red. I am using .gifs. I imagine it has to do with web safe colors but am not sure how to fix it and have found no answers on the web. Anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about fixing this?

I like the idea, you should enter it in Bugzilla as a mapscript enhancement. Without the benefit of any other information, I guess that you have some DLL mixup.

The layer > displays fine, but the symbol backgrounds aren't transparent. > Camden, the PHP mapscript maintainers may have overlooked MS_ALPHA. Let them know through Bugzilla. At any rate, the alpha transparency is only needed when you are trying to render a transparent background symbol onto a 24-bit map (like a JPEG). It has no positive effect for 8-bit output (such as a GIF). In that case, you should make sure that your symbol background is set properly and omit the transparency directive. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://users.frii.com/sgillies ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 16:42:18 -0600 From: Camden Daily Subject: Re: Transparent pixmaps in Mapserver 4.4.1 Thanks Sean.

The creation of the shapefile acts without any problems but when i execute 'ogrinfo -so' on this file the value of maxy is completely wrong. When i take a closer look at the single features of the shapefile everything looks reasonable to me. So i assume that the generation of the header entry with the extents did something wrong. Running the same script with the same data on linux the extents of the shapefile as looks expected. Attached you can find the output of ogrinfo. What is going wrong here? Is this a bug?

Dominic, Yes, NaNs will confuse the min/max computations in GDAL. This means you will need to explicitly control the scaling in your mapfile with the scaling processing directive.

Is this accepatable ? In my opnion, the default behaviour of generating a php waring is ok since It can be suppressed for those would do not want the warnings. I agree It should make it to the docs but I guess most (maybe all) of the wranings gnerated are not documented so If it is done It must be done for all. Another point is that we haven't be very consistent or defined a clear guide line on what type of error a function is suppose to return for diffrent scenarios. There is a need to revisit this at one point and have the warings/erros consistent through all the mapscript flavors but then again It is a long process to pass through all the functions.

I had been drawing the image first, and then placing the points over it like this: // draw our image without the points $image = $map->draw(); // add our point to the map $point->draw($map, $point_layer, $image, 0, ""); But I guess since the rest of the map was drawn first, the transparent point symbols wouldn't actually be made transparent. I fixed it by instead creating a dummy layer and adding my points as features to it and then drawing the map, like this: // create a temp layer to hold our points $point_layer = ms_newLayerObj($map); $point_layer->set("name", "markers"); $point_layer->set("type", MS_LAYER_POINT); $point_layer->set("status", MS_ON); // 1000 is the value used to set transparency to "alpha" $point_layer->set("transparency", 1000); // create a class and style for this layer $point_class = ms_newClassObj($point_layer); $point_style = ms_newStyleObj($point_class); // set the symbol we'll use for our points $point_symbol = $map->getSymbolByName("house"); $point_style->set("symbol", $point_symbol); $point_style->set("size", 40); $point_line = ms_newLineObj(); $point_line->add($point); $point_shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT); $point_shape->add($point_line); $point_layer->addFeature($point_shape); // draw our image $image = $map->draw(); And it works like a charm! Thanks for all the help Sean. I entered a mapscript bugzilla about the alpha value, and it appears MS_GD_ALPHA has been added as the new constant value for setting the transparency level. From ngoldstein at THECARBONPROJECT.COM Fri Jan 28 10:35:47 2005 From: ngoldstein at THECARBONPROJECT.COM (Nuke Goldstein) Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 13:35:47 -0500 Subject: CarbonTools 2 - Free .NET tools and utilities Message-ID: Dear MapServer users, I thought you may find it interesting to know that The Carbon Project has release its flagship product CarbonTools as a freeware. Granted, this is not a Java project but a .NET one and not an open-source project (although we provide the source-code to the accompanied tools), but I do believe you should take a look at this package and tools as a .NET client to MapServer based services. We are strong believers in the advancement of open and free GIS, which prompt us to share our products with the community. CarbonTools 2 is a highly expandable and versatile .NET software development toolkit. Its architecture allows full separation of data source (web-service, file etc.) and data content (raster, features etc.), therefore enabling it to be expanded to many GIS formats. The toolkit includes extensive support to OGC web-service capabilities, WMS, WFS and GML (2.x.x, 3.x.x). Two GML parsers are included - one uses the XML schemas thus providing a deep analysis of sophisticated GML implementations, the other uses common GML forms and is optimized for speed. The toolkit also includes 3 utilities written using CarbonTools and provided with full source code. The CapabilitiesAnalyzer displays information about an OGC service, GMLAnalyzer provides analysis of data and metadata within GML files and the CarbonViewer which is a viewer for WMS and WFS services complete with map-tools. CarbonTools is provided with full API documentation, also available online at: http://www.thecarbonproject.com/docs/index.html. We hope you will find CarbonTools useful as well as productive and we will appreciate any comments, suggestions and requests.

The problem arises since the results returned differ from the the initial selected rectangle.the rectangle is translated to a different location. i understand javascript is using client.x and client.y coordinates of the browser but somehow mapserver reference point( i.e 0,0) point is the top right corner of the map image. i know someone out there has solved such a problem and i will very happy for any help. regards solomon From mayuresh.kathe at GMAIL.COM Mon Jan 31 01:24:32 2005 From: mayuresh.kathe at GMAIL.COM (Mayuresh Kathe) Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 14:54:32 +0530 Subject: CGI run error...

I've found a number of previous posts to this list regarding the same error (usually in perl, not PHP) but I can't find any adequate solution. I'm adding my points to the layer like this: $point = ms_newPointObj(); $point->setXY($longitude, $latitude); $line = ms_newLineObj(); $line->add($point); $shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT); $shape->add($line); $shape->values = $values; $layer->addFeature($shape); And the layer works just fine. It displays on the map perfectly. When I try to run queryByPoint against this layer, though, my shapes always end up with a tileindex and shapeindex of -1 from the getResult call. getShape of course fails with indexes of -1. I've tried setting my layer to MS_INLINE, but that doesn't seem to fix anything. From the solutions I've seen on the web for people using perl to do this, it seems that they're doing a $shape->index = x, just setting the indexes themselves. Unfortunately, in PHP, the index property of the shape object is read only. No matter what I've tried, I always get a shape and tile index of -1. I know that I could just generate a shapefile to do this, but my data will be changing fairly often, and I don't want to have to keep updating my shapefiles.

Here's my scenario: I do a query on a db, based on given criteria. I plot the results on a map. If no state is chosen, I have a default view I display (basically the east coast of the US). What I would like to do is zoom in, using the min and max decimal degrees calculated. So, if the top-most point was in NJ, and the bottom-most was in MD, it would just include those areas, and not the default east coast view. I hope this makes sense.

I verified that the data in the PostGIS instance is okay by running pgsql2shp and testing the output shapefile. Except for truncated col names, all is well. Here's my mapfile chunk: # mapfile chunk: NAME "service_endpoints" CONNECTIONTYPE postgis CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=devgeodb" DATA "the_geom from service_endpoints" In WMS, when I run a GetCapabilities on the server, all is fine. In WMS, when I run a GetMap on the server, I get a blank map back. In WFS, when I run a GetCapabilities on the server, all is fine. In WFS, when I run a DescribeFeatureType on the server, all is fine. You can see the table just fine. In WFS, when I run a GetFeature on the server, I get a blank result set back: missing Any hints as to what's going on? If MapServer wasn't connecting to PostGIS correctly, then the WFS DescribeFeatureType request wouldn't be able to read the table. ..Tom From pramsey at REFRACTIONS.NET Mon Jan 31 13:16:21 2005 From: pramsey at REFRACTIONS.NET (Paul Ramsey) Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 13:16:21 -0800 Subject: Can't see data In-Reply-To: <2576812186CDD411BF1500508B6DCE950972F4C3@ecnwri1.ontario.int.ec.gc.ca> Message-ID: Any change your bbox is not in fact over your data?

Message-ID: Hi list, Is there a way to remove the mapserv -v output commented at the beggining of the output html when using template file with mapserver?? I explain: I use DOCTYPE declaration for my xhtml to be valid and for Internet Explorer 6, DOCTYPE declaration MUST be at the first line of the xhtml. If it's not, IE pass in quirk mode and the layout is not really what expected. If not, perhaps future version should put this comment elsewhere in the output.

Message-ID: I had a similar issue using MapServer CGI and trying to write xhtml strict, for example. And there's much more than the doctype issues. For example, strict xhtml writes the SELECTED token in a select option as selected="selected". Currently MapServer writes as the former. Not sure what the best approach is here to solve different more strict HTML flavours and how MapServer outputs form type values. ..Tom > -----Original Message----- > From: UMN MapServer Users List > [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of > Fortin,Nicolas [SteFoy] > Sent: Monday, 31 January, 2005 16:21 > To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU > Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapserver html output and DOCTYPE... > > > Hi list, > > Is there a way to remove the mapserv -v output commented at > the beggining of the output html when using template file > with mapserver?? > > I explain: I use DOCTYPE declaration for my xhtml to be valid > and for Internet Explorer 6, DOCTYPE declaration MUST be at > the first line of the xhtml.
