Look again into your posgresql.conf.

Ezequias, You can ping the pgsql-server from your mapserver-server? # ping lab1.recife The pgsql-server listens on port 5432? Check with: # netstat -tan -ptcp. You corrected the typo "dbname=dbpotgis"? You are sure about the password for the dbuser? Can you log into the database from the command line and access the tables? # psql -Upostgres -ddbpostgis If you are not sure about the password, change "password" to "trust" in pg_hba.conf. Also, I would recommend to change "password" to "md5" for encrypted passwords. Well, at the moment, I have no more ideas, sorry!

Of course you receive the mails twice. One Mail goes to the list and the other to you directly. Some list-members only reply to the list, but most reply to both. Another point, please do not top post! I'm afraid, that I have no more ideas! Your problem needs hard debugging ;-). Install pgadmin-III and/or phppgadmin and try to connect to your pgsql-server from your mapserver-server, also you could try to connect from your remote machine from command-line with "psql -Upostgres -hlab1.recife -ddbpostgis". As your machines are on different network segments, it is quite likely, that port 5432 is blocked by a firewall - you have to ask your IT to unlock this port.

Reply to the list, please. 2. Don't top post, please. 3. Do not change the subject line, please. You need to have two accounts, one for the system, to start the postmaster and of course on as the database super user, which we are talking about. Did you explicitely change the password for the database super user "postgres"?

So please Ezequias, push the "Reply all" button and post _all_ your answers to list. Second, you're adviced to continue any conversation at the _end_ of the mail you are replying to, so that it is much easier for others to follow the conversation. Can you access postgres via "psql -Upostgres -ddbpostgis" if you are logged in as root or some other user - _not_ postgres!? If not, the pg_hba.conf you sent is likely not the one, your pgsql-Server is using. If you "psql" into your database, psql "takes" the credentials with which you are logged into your linux shell. So, either you provide -U to psql or you type "su - postgres", then you don't need a "-U".

So please Ezequias, push the "Reply all" button and post _all_ your answers to list. Second, you're adviced to continue any conversation at the _end_ of the mail you are replying to, so that it is much easier for others to follow the conversation. Can you access postgres via "psql -Upostgres -ddbpostgis" if you are logged in as root or some other user - _not_ postgres!? If not, the pg_hba.conf you sent is likely not the one, your pgsql-Server is using. If you "psql" into your database, psql "takes" the credentials with which you are logged into your linux shell. So, either you provide -U to psql or you type "su - postgres", then you don't need a "-U". Ben Ben, I never recieve any post about the way I send my messages (at begin or at end) but if you are not fine with it, I will send now at the End of the e-mail. I just can access postgresql via postgres user (linux user): [postgres at machine ~]$ psql -D /usr/local/pgsql/data The connection occours with no problem.

From kmulka at GLC.ORG Fri Jul 1 06:32:35 2005 From: kmulka at GLC.ORG (Kyle Mulka) Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 09:32:35 -0400 Subject: Google Maps API Message-ID: To put Google Maps into perspective, all the other major online software companies have or are going to release some sort of 3d mapping tool. Amazon released one recently, but then took the link offline. I belive you can still get it internally. (not from the main page which was http://maps.a9.com) Microsoft is going to release "Virtual Earth" soon, and it is expected to be better than the current Google Earth. But, then again, Google may improve theirs heavely in the coming months. Yahoo released their mapping API the day after Google did. So, if you want to compare Google with Yahoo, here's the link: http://developer.yahoo.net/maps/ Here at the Great Lakes Commission, we are excited to hear about the new Google Maps API as it will allow us to get a street level reference point for our GIS data. I personally played around with Google Earth as soon as the free version came out. I took a few screen shots and posted them here: http://www.kylemulka.com/wordpress/?p=231 Google Earth is pretty exciting. I think they took the download link down because of the bandwidth the software must be hogging with all those images. I'm not sure if they will be able to sustain the free version of Google Earth as it currently stands even with advertising. Any thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: Camden Daily [mailto:cdaily at GMAIL.COM] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 10:39 AM Subject: Google Maps API http://www.google.com/apis/maps/ I hadn't seen this yet, so I guess it's still new. A full-fledged API for Google maps. Up to 50,000 page views a day. From what I can see, it looks pretty well developed. If you don't want/need the full power of your own GIS app, and just want to plot some stuff on a map, it looks pretty sweet. Also, did anyone else manage to download the Google Earth beta software? I can't remember the last time I was so completely blown away by a piece of software. Zooming in from outer space onto my house is damn cool, and then turning on the 3D buildings model and checking out downtown Chicago is awesome. -Camden Daily From piero.cavalieri at HEIDI.IT Fri Jul 1 06:55:31 2005 From: piero.cavalieri at HEIDI.IT (Piero Cavalieri) Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 08:55:31 -0500 Subject: rosa applet (re)loading Message-ID: Hi folks, I know there's a rosa m.l. for this, however...

Ezequias, this is not my idea, there is an etiquette how to use a mailing list, basically applying to all user lists, e.g.: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/mailing-list-faq/etiquette.html > > I just can access postgresql via postgres user (linux user): > > [postgres at machine ~]$ psql -D /usr/local/pgsql/data > > The connection occours with no problem. If you cannot login in as some other user then the linux postgres to connect to the database, mapserver will never be able to establish a connection. You devinitely need to be able to do the following: [someUser at machine ~]$ psql -Upostgres -ddbname So, if you can't do that, it sounds to me that your pg_hba.conf your database server is actually using, is not the one you sent to me, because there is an alternative authentication method to password/trust/md5, which is called "ident sameuser". That means you _must_ be logged into a linux shell with a user which also exits in your database!. That is why only "su - postgres" is working.

FUD. Microsoft is going to release a better search engine than Google soon too, according to them. It is a well documented FUD method of Microsoft to announce vaporware to keep competitors' products down. The idea is to get buyers or advertisers to put off purchases until they see what Microsoft's offering looks like.

In the first case you could use the TEXT option in the class object and do something like: TEXT "[FIELDNAME1] [FIELDNAME2] [FIELDNAME3]" In the second case. I solved this by merging the points on the same location to 1 point storing the labels in one field.

The existing version just isn't what I want. The items I need are as follows: 1. Arbitrary placement of notes. 2. Selectable colors. 3. Selectable fonts. 4. Selectable size. Because of options 2-4 is the reason for me setting up various classes and rendering on a classitem / value. Any thoughts? Any better ideas?

Message-ID: Hi all, I have trouble using data from GPS at the zone's boundary. My test area was around the boundary of UTM zone 47P and 48P. When I got data from 47P, it showed x coord. like 823311.6, and if went into zone 48P it showed x coord like 176668.35. But in all of my shape files, eg. rivers streets etc, its x coord. is smoothly continuous as 823311.6 in zone 47P and 894240 in zone 48P. How can I translate UTM values in 48P to be continued from 47P zone? Or should you point me to the right place to find the information about this? Any advice will be appreciated.

An alternative is multiple map files, and I found that less appealing. You can check out www2.tetonwyo.org/mapserver I do not hold it up as a textbook example, but it is straight CGI and does a lot of stuff that other people tend to use mapscript to do. I have kept the site as open as possible so you should be able to fetch anything of interest off pretty easily. Some browsers have trouble fetching a map file (anybody know why?) so I can email that to you directly if necessary.

If you are going to be crossing multiple zones, how about using lat/long for your GPS data and on-the-fly projecting to whatever zone you are in? From memory, zone-to-zone reporjects are not very robust. The ESRI map projections book was a pretty good source of information, but it's been a while since I've seen a copy.

Hi all, I have trouble using data from GPS at the zone's boundary. My test area was around the boundary of UTM zone 47P and 48P. When I got data from 47P, it showed x coord. like 823311.6, and if went into zone 48P it showed x coord like 176668.35. But in all of my shape files, eg. rivers streets etc, its x coord. is smoothly continuous as 823311.6 in zone 47P and 894240 in zone 48P. How can I translate UTM values in 48P to be continued from 47P zone? Or should you point me to the right place to find the information about this? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Krung. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.

My ActionScript looks like this... myclip_mc.loadMovie("http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../htdocs/folder/folder/mapfile.map&mode=map"); When it loads the swf it puts it in the upper left corner of the stage (regardless of where the empty movie clip was placed), and I am unable to move it, change it's size it's x-scale etc. I can access the variables in the swf, (i.e., _level5.Element[15][0], or _level0.myclip_mc.mapObj.layers[0].name) I just can't manipulate the actual map. Moving the movie clip the swf was loaded into does nothing. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong or what name I have to use in actionscript to move the physical map. Thanks.

What happens is that features are rendered into a temporary image that is ultimately blended with the main image. So, what you're trying cannot work. There is a bug filed to try and fix this but it will be awhile. There is a workaround though. You need to compose your rectangle as a shape (use the toPolygon method) and then add the shape to the layer as a feature. Code might look like: $rectobj->{maxy} = 35.516376; # workaround for layer-level transparency $shape = $rectobj->toPolygon(); $layerobj->addFeature($shape); $layer->draw($map, $img); Not too bad... Steve >>> Mark Phillips 07/04/05 7:28 PM >>> Hi, I'm using Perl mapscript to manually draw a rectangle on a map.

I am trying to decide wether to include a hillshade layer in our Mapserver applications. I have played around with using an ESRI grid hillshade in the past, as with any large raster image, it can slow things down quite a bit. Additionally, hillshading may introduce some problems when serving 8bit imagery. I am wondering if anyone else out in list land has added a hillshade layer to their maps. What approach works best for you?

Folks, My understanding is that the personal geodatabase table organization is significantly different than the ArcSDE RDBMS organization. Also, keep in mind that the MapServer SDE support uses the SDE libraries to do all the access. For personal geodatabases my preferred approach is to use direct ODBC access to the .mdb file without any direct dependence on ESRI software so that folks can work with personal geodatabases even without SDE or other ESRI libraries being installed.

Message-ID: I have a set of huge raw binary datafiles containing output from someone's numerical simulation (6GB/file, 4files/day). Each file contains values for a variety of atmospheric quantities, each at 20 timesteps, and some at multiple elevations. I would like to offer access to at least some of the quantities via WMS protocol using Mapserver. The brute force way works: I can pre-generate PNG or GeoTIFF images of selected quantities, and then generate a mapfile that includes all the images. The obvious disadvantage is that I will have many files laying around whether they ever get used or not. I would like a more elegant approach, wherein Mapserver's WMS service metadata can advertise what quantities are available, but the data are extracted from the 6GB model file only upon request.

Jim, The GeometryType attribute on the layer changes the type the layer reports itself as but has no real effect on geometry processing in OGR. it is also ignored by MapServer which takes the feature geometries "as they come". > Finally, and most importantly, can anyone recommend a solution for > displaying connected points from a virtual source - ideally, in relatively > layman's terms! To read linestrings from a non-spatial database (eg. CSV, ODBC) using OGR you would need to encode the linestrings in WKT format and use the . WKT format for a linestring might look like: LINESTRING(23.0 45.0, 60.0 30.0) The above would need to be in a string field in the database of course.

Jeff, Are the 6GB files encoded in some complex way, or would it be practical to create header files pointing into the big files for each raster product you want to advertise? ie. are the "bands" uncompressed, and at predictable locations in the big files? If so, it might make sense to create a .vrt "raw file header" for each band you want to advertise, and then build your map around these. Another approach would be to write an actual GDAL driver for the model files, but that would likely be a fair amount of work. Another approach would be to intercept the WMS requests with a script that would take care of extracting desired products in advance before turning control over mapserv to satisfy the request. You would presumably need to extract some information from the url to (LAYERS, timeslices, etc) to determine what to extract. I would assume you would want to cache extracted data so that subsequent requests against the same dataset would be fast. All in all though, I doubt there is a "canned" solution. It seems you will be doing some scripting at one level or another.

Jim, Are you pointing configure at the directory where you built GD or where it was installed? Often the ability to point to build directories for packages is very fragile, and it is easier to install it in a custom location and then point at that install tree. Of course, I could easily be barking up the wrong tree. Just one wild speculation.

Create a custom service (as a CGI or servlet or whatever) that responds to WMS GetMap requests and generates a response on-the-fly from your model output. Next, stand up a MapServer WMS between this half-baked service and your end users. All the capabilities metadata would be defined in this mediating service. As a WMS client, MapServer doesn't care whether the service it requests from implements all the WMS spec, it only needs GetMap. cheers, Sean -- Sean Gillies sgillies at frii dot com http://zcologia.com From ryan_boyles at NCSU.EDU Wed Jul 6 09:13:13 2005 From: ryan_boyles at NCSU.EDU (Ryan Boyles) Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 12:13:13 -0400 Subject: using Mapserver for on-the-fly raster data?

Cocoon is a very good match for GML since the it is an enterprise SAX parser framework that allows quick parsing of large XML documents. Transport over the wire can be reduced by making the app server (and Apache in MapServer) gzip the files going across. For the WMS side, just set up an image resource in your sitemap.

A hidden gem!! I had no idea this VRT capability was available. It should get mentioned in the How To for rasters. VRT certainly looks like it would allow me to avoid pre-extracting data from my 6GB raw binary raster files with well-known positioning of each "band" in the dataset. I suppose the VRT file(s) are enumerated in Mapserver's map file as a LAYER DATA filename? Unfortunately, I'm not sure it is possible to get the correct "colorizing" of each data value. In my case, the data values in the input file are arbitrary but must be mapped to a discrete set of colors. That is, all values in the range [V_i, V_i+1) are mapped to color and opacity RGBA_i. At present, I have been using IDL (Interactive Data Language) to extract the data and render it according to the specified color table, which gives me full control of the portrayal (but requires pre-generating images). -Jeff DLB From xwu2 at UTNET.UTOLEDO.EDU Wed Jul 6 10:42:53 2005 From: xwu2 at UTNET.UTOLEDO.EDU (Wu, Xiaochun) Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2005 13:42:53 -0400 Subject: how to make the server available through port 8080 Message-ID: Hi, everyoue: I have just installed mapserver in linux, I use port 8080.

It can be hard to know how much GDAL information makes sense to re-iterate in the MapServer docs. We have a similar issue vector "vrts" on the OGR side, but the requests were sufficiently common that a specific howto was prepared. > VRT certainly looks like it would allow me to avoid pre-extracting data > from my 6GB raw binary raster files with well-known positioning of each > "band" in the dataset.

As of 4.6 (actually it might have been in 4.4 too), MapServer supports the ability to apply classification to non-8bit raster data. This is discussed in the raster howto at: http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data There are a few caveats about precision since internally it actually uses a 16bit lookup table applied to a scaled value. > At present, I have been using IDL (Interactive Data Language) to extract > the data and render it according to the specified color table, which > gives me full control of the portrayal (but requires pre-generating images).

Well, then you need to implement the full WMS support. I was just suggesting that your preprocessor would find the LAYERS info, and use it to pull the required dataset out of the "big file" before processing the request. This leaves MapServer doing all the subsetting, classification etc. However, if you were to start from the python WMS that Allan wrote for his WMS cookbook you might well be able to implement a small custom WMS service calling out to IDL to do some of the work. Of course, your custom WMS might have some limitations that MapServer doesn't (like reprojection, variety of output formats, etc).

Actually, I already have my own custom WMS using Perl + IDL that we used for the GLOBE Program (www.globe.gov), but it would require so dusting off and retooling.

Also, there is no "VRT" rule for translating this format into useful spatial information. So currently the only approach to reading personal databases "directly" in MapServer is via the OGR FMEObjects link which I think has some performance issues, and is a bit hard to setup. I have forwarded you a proposal and quote to implement support "direct" access to personal geodatabases over ODBC. If anyone else is interested in seeing the proposal, let me know.

OK, I have this mostly working in test mode with just a few colors. However, there remains a problem that I have not yet solved and may be an SRS/EPSG/WMS issue. The raw binary input file has data from 0 to 360 longitude, rather than -180 to 180. If my GetMap request has BBOX=-180,-90,180,90 I only get data in the East half of the image while the West half is blank. Some component apparently does not understand that longitude wraps around. I can get a complete image if BBOX=0,-90,360,90, but I do need to be able to use negative values for longitude. Am I missing something, or is there a workaround for this problem?

Jeff, Sigh. I hate world mapping. MapServer has no built-in understanding about geographic coordinate systems wrapping. There are various workarounds, mostly involving treating the image as two seperate images (one for the eastern hemisphere and one for the western) but they are all likely to be pretty clumsy in your context. Let me know if you really want to pursue such an option. I think the "simpliest" would be to have two VRT files for each target image, using the above method, and then another VRT file that mosaics them (using the SimpleSource method instead of raw bands). The right solution is for MapServer to be more savvy about world mapping issues.

Mike, There are two main issues affecting performance. 1) Spatial indexing. Personal geodatabase does have a spatial index table associated with spatial tables. If we can properly utilize this we ought to be able to grab small spatial regions out of big tables effeciently. If not, it will be as corresponding slow as a shapefile would be without a spatial index. I'm not really confident I can utilize the spatial index yet though. I looked at a sample file Howard provided, and the index table just had 0's and -1's in the spatial index table. I don't know if I was using too old a version of MS Access to look at it, or if it wasn't built or what. 2) ODBC and OGR translation overhead. Both of these layers add significant performance drag. I can't give any real guarantees for performance, but if we can get spatial indexing working it shouldn't be too much worse than direct shapefiles.

To be honest, I have been using a lot of shapefiles that aren't indexed so I am not one to harp on performance. I was mainly concerned about the overhead ODBC might cause. I've never used ODBC in a high performance application (something other than a basic PHP driven web site) so I am not really familiar with how it responds under load. If someone can foreward me a copy of the proposal I will see if I can find any funding.

I think the angular->degree translation is happening twice. Could you try using lat_0=49 and lat_1=49? Alternatively, it might be that the prime meridian is being improperly applied. If so, try setting lon_0=0. I do appologise for this botching of some complex coordinate systems. I have had some open bug reports on it for some time, but haven't gotten back to deal with it properly.

Yar, The most obvious reason why gaps might appear at some resolutions is that you might not have the rasters properly abutting. If they are a fraction of a pixel apart, the gap will appear at some resolutions. If this is the issue, then the solution would be to fix up the georeferencing to ensure exact abuttment, or even slight overlap whether it represents the real data or not. However, it is hard for me to know if this is the issue, or if it is some sort of rounding problem in mapserver, without a concrete example case. I would suggest you create a tileindex with just two images (in an ideal world two smallish images) and find an exact mapserv request that demonstrates the gap problem. The submit a bug pointing to a downloadable package with the mapfile, tileindex and data files so I can reproduce your problem quickly. Then I could determine if the error is the data, mapserver or whatever.

This results in having a set of nodata (usually black) pixels around the perimeter of the new tif file. One solution is to use the mosaicking feature of gdalwarp to add in the surrounding UTM images it fill in the gaps.

Gab, Ogr2ogr always needs an input and an output file, and it does not support "in place" update. The -update flag indicates that the translation should occur into an existing datastore to be opened in update mode. Used to add a layer to an existing dataset for instance. You will need to translate to a new file.

Jeff, Steve is the authority on that. But my understanding is that works by populating a tileindex instead of having a separate layer for each timestamp. The tileindex has the usual footprint and filename, but you can add extra columns, like time, and select on them in WCS requests. I don't know to what extent this works via WMS or other mechanisms.

The file based geodatabase will be cross platform and have an open api. http://www.esri.com/news/arcnews/summer05articles/managing-spatial-data.html see the second to last paragraph .. joel ..... I'm not sure how this may affect our plans, or if we should delay and re-focus on developing support for MapServer to use the new format once it becomes available. I don't know what the release date of ArcGIS 9.2 is, we only just received our 9.1 subscription upgrade recently. What a pain! will this mean our clients will also have to upgrade to 9.2?

I load the default page and press intialize. The map shows up as expected. I see the main map, my key map and my user interface controls like pan and zoom in, zoom out, layer controls, etc. Nothing else works beyond this point. Any command I choose, such as zoom, has no effect. The refresh query button does nothing. There are no messages of any sort that are generated. The window just keeps displaying the map.

I have been playing with the WMS aspects of it and have the following behaviour. Using a client called Jump, I can get to the data. The extents are not recognized but if I pan and zoom to the right lace my map is there with all its layers anbd thematic styles etc. Works as expected accept for the extents. Using Cadcorp SIS map browser, the getcapabilites URL generates an error saying "End tag 'BODY' does not match the start tag 'br'." Using ArcCatalog, I can add the URL and get a report of all layers etc. I can add it to ArcMap and the map will zoom to the correct extents. All layers show up in the ArcMap legend but all are greyed out. I cannot see any map data nor can I adjust any of the settings such as zoom in or out levels. I zoom way in and way out but nothing shows up. I can always zoom extents and it takes me back to the correct extents. (I can only say that the extents of the blank window fall within the area covered by the map.) Is this typical of how WMS clients are implemented?

From msestudiente2 at YAHOO.COM Thu Jul 7 18:20:24 2005 From: msestudiente2 at YAHOO.COM (Alex Smith) Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 18:20:24 -0700 Subject: Other spatial database development (PostGIS) In-Reply-To: <5E76888C-8574-42AB-9D5C-ACF896B84595@refractions.net> Message-ID: I'd like to preface this by acknowledging that my technical ineptitude may have been the cause of my unsuccessful attempts to write tabular data to external OLEDB databases from ArcGIS. And I'd also like to point out that it's been a while since I tried doing so - things may have changed. But my experiences have lead me to believe that ESRI has (or had) carefully implemented ArcGIS in a manner that prevents users from writing to external DBMS without using ArcSDE. We do alot of spatial processing that output and affects a considerable amount of tabular data that many other rely on and edit where necessary. Because we're already pushing the limits of Access, I looked into other options when we started some new projects....and an affordable option, such as Postgres or MySQL. Here's what I found In the original "Exploring ArcObjects" book, published near the release of ArcGIS 8.0, states that OLEDB connections to ArcGIS are read only. Hence, we couldn't directly output data to an external table joined to a Access based featureclass. Sure, we can later use ADO to update the 'enterprise' database from the Access geodatabase, but that starts to get messy or becomes, to use Paul's words, a "moderately ugly hack" (why have the middle-man Geodatabase tables - like pgArc had the middle-man shapefiles). So I tried linking in a MySQL table to via ODBC in a geodatabase .mdb file and attempted to edit that table (no spatial data) from ArcGIS - I got a message stating that linked tables cannot be written to. DAO tables (and I'm fairly certain that ArcGIS interacts with Access databases using DAO), have a property that returns true if they are linked tables. So it seems that the ArcGIS has code that tests this property and does not allow users to edit these tables. I find it very hard to believe that this was accidental. And I later felt naive for thinking I could somehow 'outsmart' them - ESRI's software engineers are not dumb. Expect some resistance in attempting to circumnavigate their systems. I understand their need to protect their investment - the ArcGIS spatial editting tools (including topology and networks) and ArcSDE must have cost a lot of money to develop. And it's good software - ESRI has earned a lot of its success. It just sucks for those of us on a limited budget - SDE licenses on top of commercial RDBMS fees is simply unaffordable in our case. On the other hand, ESRI seems to be opening up. But they must continue to recover their development costs somehow. And I'd be surprised if they'd make it easy for other develop tools to compete with their systems. Yes, being able to directly edit PostGIS data using ArcGIS-like editing tools would be huge....but I don't think that it would be easy and would probably be cost-prohibitive. As Paul mentioned, if these things were easily and cost-effectively attainable, then it probably would have been done by now. But then again....look how successful mapserver has become. Just my thoughts...... Alex Paul Ramsey wrote: Guys, I am happy to spec this out again, but frankly I fear that most solutions will remain in the "moderately ugly hack" domain, ala PgArc. I have investigated more elegant things (oledb) but the signs are not promising (http://arcgisdeveloperonline.esri.com/ ArcGISDeveloper/ExtendingArcObjects/Ch07/AboutOLEDBProviders.htm). Principally, the continuing lack of an Oracle Spatial third party read/write extension on the market says to me that such a thing is just technically not possible to do attractively. If it were, someone would have written it by now and be making money on it. If anyone knows of such a thing, please do tell, it would be a good positive sign of possible success.

I finally figured out how to configure this properly: instead of trying a combination of several of these parameters, use only the ONE parameter that produces the desired effect. For example, if you want a fixed grid at some interval, then specify MININTERVAL. If you want a reasonable number of lines no matter what the zoom, specify MINARCS. (I have found that 'MINARCS 5' and 'LABELFORMAT DDMM' gives good results for geographic coordinates. If you look in the source code mapfile.c, the function loadGrid has a switch statement such that only the first matching directive is used. They appear in this order: MINARCS MAXARCS MININTERVAL MAXINTERVAL MINSUBDIVIDE MAXSUBDIVIDE The documentation at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#grid should be corrected because it gives a false impression. It should say something like this: The number of arcs to draw is controlled by any ONE of the following parameters. Mapserver will inspect the GRID object and search for these parameters in this order and will obey the first one it finds: MINARCS [double] The minimum number of arcs to draw in the bounding box. MAXARCS [double] The maximum number of arcs to draw in the bounding box. [NOT TESTED] MININTERVAL [double] The interval between gridlines, independent of bounding box size. MAXINTERVAL [double] The interval between gridlines, independent of bounding box size. No discernible difference between MININTERVAL and MAXINTERVAL. MINSUBDIVIDE [double] The minimum number of segments to use when rendering an arc. [NOT TESTED] MAXSUBDIVIDE [double] The maximum number of segments to use when rendering an arc.

Is it "only" because OLEDB provides read-only access for ArcGIS? I did not really delve into the article you cited, but what I read sounded like you can use PostGIS WKBs 1:1 with OLEDB for ArcGIS?? Has anybody successfully implemented read-access from ArcGIS 9 to PG? Would this be only an ugly or also a never-ending hack? Background: We also have a project where we are constrained to use a personal geodatabase and would be happy to switch to PostGIS. Read-only would be sufficient in this case.

Hence, we couldn't directly output data to an external table joined to a Access based featureclass. Sure, we can later use ADO to update the 'enterprise' database from the Access geodatabase, but that starts to get messy or becomes, to use Paul's words, a "moderately ugly hack" (why have the middle-man Geodatabase tables - like pgArc had the middle-man shapefiles). So I tried linking in a MySQL table to via ODBC in a geodatabase .mdb file and attempted to edit that table (no spatial data) from ArcGIS - I got a message stating that linked tables cannot be written to. DAO tables (and I'm fairly certain that ArcGIS interacts with Access databases using DAO), have a property that returns true if they are linked tables. So it seems that the ArcGIS has code that tests this property and does not allow users to edit these tables. I fi nd it very > hard to believe that this was accidental.

But they must continue to recover their development costs somehow. And I'd be surprised if they'd make it easy for other develop tools to compete with their systems. Yes, being able to directly edit PostGIS data using ArcGIS-like editing tools would be huge....but I don't think that it would be easy and would probably be cost-prohibitive. As Paul mentioned, if these things were easily and cost-effectively attainable, then it probably would have been done by now. But then again....look how successful mapserver has become.

I have set up and am running Windows 2003 and IIS 6. I copied my demo over there for testing. It is a modified Itasca demo that is the basis for my app. I have the following problem. I load the default page and press intialize. The map shows up as expected. I see the main map, my key map and my user interface controls like pan and zoom in, zoom out, layer controls, etc. Nothing else works beyond this point. Any command I choose, such as zoom, has no effect. The refresh query button does nothing. There are no messages of any sort that are generated. The window just keeps displaying the map. Any ideas where I could be going wrong? Other things I could try to see what is happening under the hood? I think permissions are all OK and I have my bin directory on the system path. Mapserver is working because I get the map.

You can also install the GMap 'Sample Application' for your MS4W installation from http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html.

Armed with knowledge and zeal from the meeting in Minneapolis, I sat down to implement a project with PostGIS and MapServer. I have been able to see my PostGIS layer with the QGIS client so my next though was to set up a WFS server so that I could view it with ArcMap (9.0 w/Data Interopability thingy for now; is 9.1 any better?). I am using Debian testing with Debian-GIS packages, which I believe are all updated. I am using a ~user account and the wrapper script suggested at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/wfs-server-howto.html#wfs_onlineresource My GetCapabilities request seems fine. Try this: http://geo.neiu.edu/~neiuveg/cgi-bin/trees?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetCapabilities but when I try the GetFeature test with http://geo.neiu.edu/~neiuveg/cgi-bin/trees?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=trees I get a 500 Internal Server Error. The Apache2 error log gives the enigmatic "Premature end of script headers: trees" message. I have found many references to this error in the list archives, but always in a different context, as far as I can tell. At first I thought it was a problem with my wfs_onlineresource metadata when I noticed that it didn't match -- still had host/cgi-bin/mapserv... from the example, but changing that had no visible effect. What else can I tell you to flesh out the situation? You should be able to see my map file at http://geo.neiu.edu/~neiuveg/trees.map Thanks for your comments and suggestions. In the meantime I will try to set up a separate service using some shapefile data -- back to basics.

What gdaladdo commandline did you use? I would suggest something like: gdaladdo your.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 The "64" level will produce overviews that are 157 x 157 for your 10K x 10K files. There isn't much point in going beyond this. There is a bit of cost to having extra overviews as GDAL needs to parse the TIFFF directory for each overview. 2) At rull resolution you will get better render performance if the data file is internally tiled. Currently a 400x400 full res view will require reading through 400 scanlines of data or 400x10000 pixels of data. If your TIFF was internally tiled, it would likely be more like 4-9 256x256 tiles being accessed. substantially cutting down the amount of data that needs to be accessed from disk. You can rewrite a scanline oriented file to tiled like this: gdal_translate -co TILED=YES original.tif tiled.tif 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 ezequias at RECIFE.PE.GOV.BR Fri Jul 8 10:49:13 2005 From: ezequias at RECIFE.PE.GOV.BR (Ezequias Rodrigues da Rocha) Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2005 14:49:13 -0300 Subject: Presentations Message-ID: Hi all, Does anyone have any good presentation of MAPSERVER (WFS/WMS) Framework ?

We had plans for a MapServer opendap-client/wms-server--in other words we wanted to build a MapServer that will serve raster data from our opendap server. We were working on a prototype that will serve one of our products. The product consists of monthly files, each file contains 2 parameters per file. At present there are over 80 months (files) of data. I still consider myself a novice and may have some misconceptions about MapServer, but my understanding is that to offer this data I will need a mapfile with over 160 layers--one for each file times 2 for the 2 parameters. I read in one of the documents (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html) that there is a 50 layer limit for a mapfile. The document said that this limit could be raised by making a change to map.h. However, some of our products have files containing over a hundred parameters. I estimate that if we wanted to offer each of the parameters in each file for several of our products, we would need a mapfile with hundreds of thousands layers. Are we expecting too much from mapserver? Is there any way around this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions for serving data that is scattered through thousands of files?

John, I think it might make more sense to either produce map objects dynamically using mapscript, or create one mapfile for each dataset to serve rather than trying to offer all the products through one master .map file.

The styles are dynamically altered in the script to basically draw a small bar graph with 7 bars at each map point, to reflect various health parameters of some remote equipment. I have mad this work in perl. Under PHP, I am allowed to add two styles per point, but when I add the third, I get this: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 75 bytes) in /var/www/html/foo.phtml The code snippet which produces this is as follows: $image=$map->draw(); $meterLayer = $map->getLayerByName("Endpoints"); $meterClass0 = $meterLayer->getClass(0); $rs= mssql_query ($sql, $con); $red = array(255,255,255,225,0,150,0); $green = array(255,0,255,0,200,100,0); $blue = array(255,0,0,150,150,50,255); while ( $row = mssql_fetch_row($rs)) { for ( $i=0; $i<3; $i++ ) { $meterStyle[$i] = $meterClass0->getStyle($i); $meterStyle[$i]->outlinecolor->setRGB($red[$i],$green[$i],$blue[$i]); $meterStyle[$i]->color->setRGB($red[$i],$green[$i],$blue[$i]); $meterStyle[$i]->set('offsetx',$i*3); $meterStyle[$i]->set('offsety',0); } $point = ms_newPointObj(); $point->setXY((-1)*$row[1],$row[0]); $point->draw($map,$meterLayer,$image,0,$row[2]); } $image_url=$image->saveWebImage(); If the "3" in the for loop above is set to 2 or 1, it works fine, but I need it to be an 8, which obviously fails. More code available on request. I am using Mapserver 2.6, PHP 5.0.4. The machine is 64-bit Mandrake Linux installation on dual Xeons with 2GB of physical ram, yadda yadda. It's a healthy machine, and has run this same type of code under 2.6beta3 with Perl Mapscript. However, I formatted the box to switch from SuSE to Mandrake, and forgot to copy the perl script over before I formatted the / partition (insert lots of comments about backups, etc),so I'm rewriting in PHP since I was shamed into learning in on the #mapserver irc channel. Anyone have any thoughts on where I'm wrong, or is this a bug?

John, I don't really know if it is possible to use mapscript to generate a mapObj and then invoke the mapserver WMS capabilities action on it (much less getmap). It might be possible, but I think it is pushing the envelope a bit. Alternatively, you could write a scripted cgi to intercept the getcapabilities/getmap requests and prepare a temporary map file on disk, then invoke mapserv. This wouldn't specfically need mapscript.

This is an unprojected map of the 5 digit zip code boundries for the state of Texas, from the US Census Bureau.

To find the categories for the legend, I used the ogrinfo utility twice. ogrinfo -a -summary zt48_d00.shp let me see what fields were available, and ogrinfo -a zt48_d00.shp|grep SYMBOL|sort -u told me what all of the unique values were so that I could build my CLASS definitions in TX1.map.

Right now I am getting some XML back from my GetFeature request, but it's the "msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): Query error" exception. My working theory is that I don't understand enough about managing users in Postgres, which I am trying to accomplish through phpPgAdmin. I presume that when I tell Mapserver to connect via localhost then the relevant line in pg_hba.conf is of the form "host dbase user 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 METHOD". If I use the "trust" method wouldn't that allow me to create a user for MapServer called "ms" that requires no password (what's the point of putting a password in a text file that's visible on the web?) and limit that user to only SELECT? In my postgres.log I don't see any attempts to connect by this user. I do see occasional ominous "FATAL: database "template_gis" is not currently accepting connections" messages -- I'm not sure what template_gis is or who might be accessing it. In general, what configuration gives the best combination of ease and security for postgis connections? I'll be happy to flesh out any details if anyone has any thoughts. Thanks for looking this over.

Frank, with some of the datasets we're looking at, your advice is well taken, but with some of ours, it's valuable to have a large number of 'em available for intercomparison. I don't know what data John's talking about but I suspect he's got similar problems to mine. Wasn't ther a way to increase the number of layers in the source and then recompile? I'm 'bout to get on another plane and don't have time to check the code right now, but that's what I recall...

I've done this with success to create pie charts for points - using the GD-Library from PHP to create the graphics (doing a queryByRect with the map extent to work only with points in the map), then adding a new symbol to the map for each graphic, creating a class for each point id in the map, and finally adding a style to each class that refers to the appropriate graphic. The limitation here is on the number of symbols that you can have per map (64). But at least you can point to mapserver instead of PHP on that one (or recompile with a higher limit).

I'm already trying to get around the need for having so many layers in a single mapfile by reducing the granularity available as you get to mapfiles which cover a larger time period - let me see if I can explain what I mean without rambling on too much. At the lowest level of granularity, we're providing access to raster and vector files which are derived from satellite passes - and there may be 10-40 passes per day, depending on the product. I've already set up a process to automatically generate a mapfile containing the last 5 days worth of data, using the GROUP parameter to group them according to the day. This is jolly nifty for those customers who need to look at the recent info on a pass by pass basis. However, if I try to give people access to the entire archive (several years worth, and 10-15 different products, at 10-40 passes per day) on a pass by pass basis, the number of layers involved will be horrendous, so I'm trying to reduce the granularity at which archival data is available. My current plan is to (programmatically) create a series of weekly mapfiles, structured in the same way as mentioned above, with individual satellite passes grouped by day. I would have 52 of those for each year, and then to wrap them up so that people could have an overview of what's available, I'm planning to create some mapfiles (either yearly or monthly, maybe both), which connect to these weekly mapfiles via WMS, and pull in each daily group from the 52 weekly mapfiles, and define them as a single layer. So I think I would end up with a mapfile for each year, with a group for each week, and under each group, 7 individual layers - one for each day. Hopefully then there are two options: 1) People's clients are able to pull apart the vector data, and maybe do a query (for instance) to only display the lightning data from one particular satellite pass - although having used ArcMap and ArcExplorer for testing I'm not too hopeful about this; 2) Specific file naming conventions could allow users to find the week they're interested in in the yearly mapfile, and then work out what the mapfile name/URL for that week's lower level mapfile would be. So, now I'm finally going to get to my point - even using this structure, a MAXLAYERS setting of 200 is too low for me - I can do about 5 or 6 days of satellite passes in 200 layers, but to get to a whole week I would need to increase the MAXLAYERS parameter. To have a layer for each day in my yearly mapfile, I'd need a MAXLAYERS of around 370. I gather it's relatively easy to change the parameter and recompile Mapserver, but as I have very little experience in this area (and I've seen so many emails on this list seeking help with compiling mapserver!) I was hoping somebody might possibly have already done this, and might have Windows binaries compiled with a higher MAXLAYERS that they would be willing to share. Alternatively, if the structure I described above sounds silly or you can think of something more effective, please let me know :) We do have another approach in mind for the vector data, which is to produce an ongoing concatenated shapefile which contains all the features for that product (for instance, as a new pass's worth of lightning data becomes available, it is automatically added in to one big Lightning shapefile), and then to use classes to colour them up a bit according to the time that each event occurred. It's a nice theory for the vector info, but I'd still need to do something about the raster info. Any advice (or binaries!) would be very much appreciated :) Thanks, Bonnie __________________________________ Bonnie Stewart Research Officer Satellite Remote Sensing Services Information Access Division Department of Land Information 65 Brockway Road, FLOREAT WA 6014 Ph.

I read the doc on time support. I got the impression that the document addresses the situation where all the time periods are included in one file. Will someone please correct me if I am wrong about this? I'm toying with the idea of creating a GetCapabilities doc outside the context the mapserver, with the two layers and a time time range as you suggest above. A cgi script would create a map object using map script. But my understanding of mapscript capabilities is, at this point,l very weak so I don't know how feasible this is. I may have to start with something considerably simpler and work my way toward this. Thanks for the link to aes. I think it may prove to be helpful.

John, I don't really know if it is possible to use mapscript to generate a mapObj and then invoke the mapserver WMS capabilities action on it (much less getmap). It might be possible, but I think it is pushing the envelope a bit. Alternatively, you could write a scripted cgi to intercept the getcapabilities/getmap requests and prepare a temporary map file on disk, then invoke mapserv. This wouldn't specfically need mapscript.

A tileindex is a vector datasource (shapefile, PostGIS database, etc) of outlines of other data, either raster or vector. Typically it's used to show and entire county of mosaicked and clipped airphotos or Census planimetric mapping vectors. In those cases MapServer does a spatial query to select the data files to read for rendering into the output graphic file. A tileindex could be used to represent data divided by time (as well as geography) such as satellite imagery. A recent enhancement (v4.?) allows the TILEINDEX to be a separate layer form the underlying data, and because of that can handle a user-specified query on attributes stored in the tileindex (e.g. satellite id, acquisition time, etc). So one possibility might be to have two layers (one for the data and one for the tileindex) per each of your 10-15 products. Then query the tileindex based on the product name/id and the date range. I'm not sure how to get the query from the WMS client to the server, so you may have to look into that... Since your data is relatively dynamic, you may want to use a PostGIS database as the format for your tileindex to avoid any file locking problems with shapefiles. Brent Fraser ----- Original Message ----- From: Bonnie Stewart To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 12:05 AM Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Increasing Maxlayers limit - anyone have spare Windows binaries? :) Hi all, I'm working on a way to make a large amount of our vector and raster data available via WMS and WFS, and I've come up against the MAXLAYERS setting (200 in our install I think). I'm already trying to get around the need for having so many layers in a single mapfile by reducing the granularity available as you get to mapfiles which cover a larger time period - let me see if I can explain what I mean without rambling on too much. At the lowest level of granularity, we're providing access to raster and vector files which are derived from satellite passes - and there may be 10-40 passes per day, depending on the product. I've already set up a process to automatically generate a mapfile containing the last 5 days worth of data, using the GROUP parameter to group them according to the day. This is jolly nifty for those customers who need to look at the recent info on a pass by pass basis. However, if I try to give people access to the entire archive (several years worth, and 10-15 different products, at 10-40 passes per day) on a pass by pass basis, the number of layers involved will be horrendous, so I'm trying to reduce the granularity at which archival data is available. My current plan is to (programmatically) create a series of weekly mapfiles, structured in the same way as mentioned above, with individual satellite passes grouped by day. I would have 52 of those for each year, and then to wrap them up so that people could have an overview of what's available, I'm planning to create some mapfiles (either yearly or monthly, maybe both), which connect to these weekly mapfiles via WMS, and pull in each daily group from the 52 weekly mapfiles, and define them as a single layer. So I think I would end up with a mapfile for each year, with a group for each week, and under each group, 7 individual layers - one for each day. Hopefully then there are two options: 1) People's clients are able to pull apart the vector data, and maybe do a query (for instance) to only display the lightning data from one particular satellite pass - although having used ArcMap and ArcExplorer for testing I'm not too hopeful about this; 2) Specific file naming conventions could allow users to find the week they're interested in in the yearly mapfile, and then work out what the mapfile name/URL for that week's lower level mapfile would be. So, now I'm finally going to get to my point - even using this structure, a MAXLAYERS setting of 200 is too low for me - I can do about 5 or 6 days of satellite passes in 200 layers, but to get to a whole week I would need to increase the MAXLAYERS parameter. To have a layer for each day in my yearly mapfile, I'd need a MAXLAYERS of around 370. I gather it's relatively easy to change the parameter and recompile Mapserver, but as I have very little experience in this area (and I've seen so many emails on this list seeking help with compiling mapserver!) I was hoping somebody might possibly have already done this, and might have Windows binaries compiled with a higher MAXLAYERS that they would be willing to share. Alternatively, if the structure I described above sounds silly or you can think of something more effective, please let me know :) We do have another approach in mind for the vector data, which is to produce an ongoing concatenated shapefile which contains all the features for that product (for instance, as a new pass's worth of lightning data becomes available, it is automatically added in to one big Lightning shapefile), and then to use classes to colour them up a bit according to the time that each event occurred. It's a nice theory for the vector info, but I'd still need to do something about the raster info. Any advice (or binaries!) would be very much appreciated :) Thanks, Bonnie __________________________________ Bonnie Stewart Research Officer Satellite Remote Sensing Services Information Access Division Department of Land Information 65 Brockway Road, FLOREAT WA 6014 Ph.

It was a simple change to the line. The path stored in "value" was not right. It is fine as show above with Mapserver being my virutal directory. The previous value had been an explicit path. It worked fine on my IIS 5 and Mapserver 4.4.1 install. I will have to look at all the differences in the two installs as I am sure I am missing some obvious difference that made the two things work. Thanks Ed for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For those who have questioned how to configure IIS 6 here is what I did. Don't know if this is all that should be done but it is working. I post this in the hopes that it may help get some one going. If anyone knows that there are errors here please clear them up. I will assume you know how to install and get IIS running. I created a virtual directory, under Default Website, called Mapserver. It points to the directory where mapserv.exe is installed. Read, Directory Browse, Log Visits and Index this resource are all checked. Execute permissions are set to Scripts and Executables. On the Documents tab I have deselected "Enable default content page". Security is set for anonymous access with the default IUSR_**** etc. Integegrated Windows authentication is selected. I created a virtual directory, under Websites, Default Website, called whateveryournamewillbe. It points to the directory where my html, data etc is installed. Read, Log Visits and Index this resource are checked. Execute permissions are set to Scripts only.

I named it mapserver. I checked the box that said "Set extension status to Allowed" then under Required Files I browsed to the directory where mapserv.exe is stored and added the mapserver.exe file.

If you're talking about quality in the sense of having compression artifacts, then you can add something like FORMATOPTION "QUALITY=100" in your OUTPUTFORMAT. Or perhaps you should be using PNG24 instead of JPEG. Read through http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/mapfile-reference.html#outputformat for more output related info. Also read http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/raster-howto.html for raster input stuff. -Perry On Monday 11 July 2005 13:36, Ezequias Rodrigues da Rocha wrote: > I commented the lines and the image got worst. > > And now ? > > -------Mensagem original------- > > De: Pericles S.

I know you are using an asp page as a template, but just wanted to ask. Also, might be out of scope or even not worth it, but i'll just throw it out there. Use the AJAX methodology for your mapping. What I mean by this is, you can generate the map, legend, reference and scale images from just a CGI-URL call to mapserver. This means you don't really need any templates within your mapfile. Just do up a normal asp (or even a basic html) page, and have some javascript which takes click position (for zoom/pan), construct a url, connect to the url, get the requested image back, and upload that particular image on the page. This probably sounds a bit complicated, but it's not, its quite simple, and the map loads pretty quick. (And you'd be using some new methodologies as well). As for your IE rendering PNG's as BMP's, i'll see if I can replicate it, but wouldn't mind knowing how you are trying to achieve that. cheers, Ajay --- David Shorthouse wrote: > Ajay (and others), > > Before posting, tried the OUTPUTFORMAT as you > suggested.

The user can turn classes on and off, so that only chosen types of vegetation are visible. When I do layer->queryByPoint(), it returns polygons whose status has been set to MS_OFF. Is that a bug? I was hoping it would return only polygons whose class is set to MS_ON. As it is now, I have to manually check (in PHP) to see if the polygon belongs to the class that is supposed to be invisible.

I had no idea that TILEINDEXing could be used for time-variant data as well as spatial-variant data. I've been doing some googling trying to find out more information on this (no experience whatsoever with TILEINDEX thus far), and this is the best I've come up with: http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wcs_server http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WCSMapServer The section which covers "Spatio/Temporal Indexes" in the first document is I believe the methodology you're referring to, and while it's very helpful, I still have a few questions. 1) So far I have only read about temporal timeindexing with respect to serving WCS (Web Coverage Service) rather than WMS or WFS. Is it possible to use the same methodology but serve WMS or WFS layers? I don't know much about WCS and I'm not sure what clients (off the shelf - we are not going to be developing any client interface for our users) can access it. 2) Does anybody know of any additional documentation/tutorials/examples using TILEINDEX for raster and vector data which is spatially nonvariant and temporally variant? :) From bfraser at GEOANALYTIC.COM Mon Jul 11 21:07:00 2005 From: bfraser at GEOANALYTIC.COM (Brent Fraser) Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2005 22:07:00 -0600 Subject: Organizing large temporal datasets (WAS: Increasing Maxlayers limit - anyone have spare Windows binaries? :)) In-Reply-To: <3F8F4F5195AF16468E8760F8068F089E14CD8E@MAIL.dli.wa.gov.au> Message-ID: Bonnie, I wasn't sure if WMS + tileindex + time attribute was possible.

The HABITALP-project aims for mapping of habitats based on aerial photographies. One task is the presentation of the landuse cover and the orthophotos with the Mapserver. Therefore I degraded the original orthophotos with a ground resolution of 0,2m to 1m for the max. scale of 1:2.500. Totally that would mean about 30 GB of imagery. Furthermore, I made some tiles with smaller resolution for smaller scales. In the mapfile I put the different resolutions to layers (eg ortho1, ortho2, ortho3) of one group (eg ortho). Would a OrthoServer significant faster? Arno Ed McNierney schrieb: > Arno - > > One rarely looks at "huge amounts" of raster data.

I believe you do this using gdal_translate with some options like: -co "TILED=YES" You can also fine tune the internal tile size (default is 256x256): -co "BLOCKXSIZE=256" -co "BLOCKYSIZE=256" then run gdaladdo to produce a tiled geotiff file with overviews.

Part of my application code looks like this pseudo-code : $map->setLayerFilter("ThematicData", "REQUEST_ID=121"); $map->zoomToLayer("ThematicData"); Here i'm setting a specific FILTER expression for a layer, and then zooming to the extent of the (now filtered) layer. I use the layerObj->getExtent() and then mapObj->setExtent() functions to achieve this behind the scenes. This works great for Oracle, the query is fast and makes for nice, tidy code in my application without the need for Oracle specific SQL statements to derive the new extent. However when I try this on PostGIS I just get a massive (useless) extent returned. Digging into the code I can see that the msPOSTGISLayerGetExtent() function in mappostgis.c is effectively doing nothing although a lot of code is commented out. Working on my local code I have re-enabled this code, fixed the compilation errors and changed it so that when a FILTER is applied to the layer this is used as part of the SQL call to PG. It seems to work great (from PHP/MapScript) and performance is fine and is really useful for me meaning I don't need to calculate the extents for a map myself - MapServer can supply the information in a generic and abstract fashion. Ideally I would like to get this code fed back into MapServer, but of course only if it's acceptable to you all. So, should I instead post this to mapserver-dev or can I pass on the new code to someone from here?

When I ask Mapserver to draw labels, some states have a single label centered in the state (e.g., Alabama), while others have multiple labels around their edges (e.g., Florida). See, for example, http://map05.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/modis?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=states20m&STYLES=default&SRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=-100.075,23.63125,-65.075,36.13125&WIDTH=700&HEIGHT=250&FORMAT=image/png I assume this is because states with complicated boundaries, such as along the coast, are built from several polygons, and each polygon is given a label. I can reduce the number of labels per state by setting MINDISTANCE, but I cannot get the labels of such states placed near the geographic center of the state--the label is always on the boundary (e.g., at the tip of the Florida keys). Is there a way to get better control of the label position, or to rebuild the shapefile in a way that perhaps produces a lower-res border but has better labeling? -Jeff DLB From David.Fawcett at STATE.MN.US Tue Jul 12 06:39:05 2005 From: David.Fawcett at STATE.MN.US (Fawcett, David) Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2005 08:39:05 -0500 Subject: place a point in the map Message-ID: The EXTENT line in the MAP object sets the initial extent of your map when you start your application. How do you want your map to look when you start up? Do you want it to show the full extent of your background raster? If so, use that extent. Just make sure that UNITS matches the units used by your projection, and that either both layers are in the same projection, OR add projection information so that you can display both layers at the same time. I don't have a virtual data layer handy, so I can't quickly test it, but does anyone know if running ogrinfo on a text data source will return the extent? David.

The problem is that the return time for the call can be very large for very large tables. Which is not really acceptable for a capabilities return. Maybe it is acceptable for your application. This is the real problem. We want something with very low return times (as a shapefile extents call is) but we cannot get it with the extent() function, because that requires a sequence scan. So basically, we cannot simply stick in your implementation, or we are building a big obscure "gotcha" into mapserver. ("Why does it take forever to return a capabilities file for my PostGIS backed WMS? Everything else is fast.") Perhaps the folks on -DEV can return some zen wisdom on the correct approach to this.

Both implementations, Oracle's and your uncommented PostGIS one, do the same functional thing, which is a full table scan. It is possible that Oracle is slightly smarter about reading the index for the AGGR_MBR case, which might make it work better on large tables: one for the testing range. I think your tuppence might be right on the money: - Enable ms*GetLayerExtent() to provide the "right" answer in all cases, even if it is expensive. - Add a ms*GetLayerExtentFast() that for the easy data sources just calls GetLayerExtent, and for the hard data sources does whatever combination of fast hacks and cop-outs are required. WMS GetCapabilities should call GetLayerExtentFast and mapscript should call GetLayerExtent. Unrelated question for the gurus: does GetLayerExtent respect filters for all data sources?

In general, I have been doing thematic mapping with postGIS and I usually try to classify the data in SQL and return back a normalized theme value between 1 and N, then I make my LAYER like: LAYER CONNECTIONTYPE postgis CONNECTION "...." DATA "the_geom from (select the_geom, () as theme from data_table where ) as foo using unique gid using srid 4326" CLASSEXPRESSION theme CLASS EXPRESSION 1 .... END CLASS EXPRESSION 2 ... END ...

I don't think the technical folks have had many arguments so far, but I have felt it is hard for us to actually make decisions on some things. I hope this will improve that. I think this takes into account most of the advise received. A few notes: o For the time being I have explicitly removed the web site and documentation from the purview of the Technical Steering Committee to keep things minimalist. o I have removed discussion of how we will manage proposal documents other than that they should initially be announced and voted on mapserver-dev. I think we will use some mixture of bugzilla and the web site for this, but I am leaving it for the committee to define how that will work.

Like you say PostGIS also has a couple of choices in this area. I guess by definition the *Fast functions would just ignore, (or fail?) if a filter was specified...? Or perhaps if a filter is specified, the *Fast functions could call the non-Fast functions to get the answer in the (blind?) hope that the filter makes them sufficiently performant.

(which is most of you I expect). How is this function used my MapServer itself then? The context in which I am using it is via an explicit $layerObj->getExtent() call from PHP/MapScript, so in this respect the current implementation is not much use, but I suspect there is more to this function than just an implementation for this call. The main issue I had was that this function worked as I expected for Oracle, yet not for PostGIS, meaning I'd need some ugly code in my app to deal with the inconsistency... Anyway, i've attached my version of the function for you to take a look at. My implemenation is basically the version that was commented out, with the compilcation errors & warning resolved, added support for the FILTER expression and support for either BOX or BOX3D return clauses from PostGIS extent().

How do you want your map to look when you start up? Do you want it to show the full extent of your background raster? If so, use that extent. Just make sure that UNITS matches the units used by your projection, and that either both layers are in the same projection, OR add projection information so that you can display both layers at the same time.

The bugs: 1136 and 1112 is related about this issue. The column DIMINFO can store the extent for the table, but it's don't guarantee that it is the real extent, in many cases it's store: +180, -180, -90 and +90. So, when an user apply a filter or any restriction this values can be very wrong. Of course that I can use this for a fast extent, but it's not guarantee that it's real, many users can report in the future that the extents it is not real.... The MBR function can be very slow when the table store many data, I needed to use it for 9i version and geodetic values. Convexhull function is more fast, but cannot be apply for 9i version. I used these functions because an user can change a layer filter and call the getextent function without need to change the data parameter for the layer. The performance is very good for the most requests, and increase with a good spatial index. The idea about the fast extent is very nice, more hints for this issue? Only for WMS, like Paul suggest? What is the impact for this change in the others Mapserv modules? Hints?

As Fernando points out this can be wrong - it is not validated by Oracle in anyway. The Oracle "shp2sdo" tool however will populate the table correctly so any loads based on Shape files should (to begin with anyway!) have correct values. I guess the easiest way to do this is to add "Fast" functions for all data sources, which, to begin with at least, could simply call the existing implementations (i.e the new ms*LayerGetExtentFast() simply calls the current ms*LayerGetExtent(). For Oracle and PostGIS though the Fast and "non-Fast" functions would have significantly different implementations re: what we've discussed. I know nothing about the WMS code but I would guess that could be changed pretty easily to call the new *Fast functions without fear of breakage, as to begin with all they would do is call the existing implementations.... Would the *Fast functions need to be exposed to MapScript in anyway or would they really only be useful in a WMS context?

You might need to use MapServer queries and the [shpxy] tag. With that approach you get access to all attributes (plus joins) and the spatial data. You can build image maps. GML, SVG or whatever. The approach is to do a MapServer query of the CGI (e.g. get all firestations for a particular extent) and build the page from templates. Here's an SVG example: http://noah.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv46?map=/usr/local/www/docs_maps/testing/svg/test.map&qlayer=county&qitem=cty_name&qstring=/./&mode=itemnquery Templates are at: http://noah.dnr.state.mn.us/testing/svg/ The example outputs coordinates as UTM coordinates with no decimals, but you can also output data with respect to an image.

Our map service is using tiled county mosaics in an ERDAS Imagine (.img) (24 bit, RGB file) format. Errors will pop up in our 4.4 Mapserver instance when I try to zoom in past a scale of 1:9500 and color shifts occur after zooming past certain scales. You can view the problems by visiting HTTP://mapservice.swc.state.nd.us/indexmap.phtml. Click on log on in the upper right corner, and login as mapuser with mappass as the password. Choose the drop down list that says select your extent and select McKenzie Normal. This shows the ortho photo displayed properly. McKenzie Bad Color zooms in to a 1:18034 scale and it is no longer displayed. Mountrail Color Ok moves to Mountrail County at a 1:18034 scale, but the colors are displayed properly at the same scale with a different imagine file. Finally, select Mountrail No Image. This is where the following error occurs and no image is displayed. The error is: PHP Warning: [MapServer Error]: IReadBlock failed at X offset 703, Y offset 675: GDALRasterIO() failed: drawGDAL() in drawmappm.php on line 105 PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in drawmappm.php on line 228 I can zoom in to any scale with tiff files just not the Imagine files. I cannot use tiff files since there is a 2GB maximum file size, and the sizes of the county mosaics are running in the 10Gb to 25Gb range. Additionally, we?ve found color shifts to blue or red anytime we zoom to scales greater than about 1:20,000. However, this only seems to occur on the largest county mosaic (approx 25Gb). If we move the locator box on the locator map to another location with a smaller county mosaic, we don?t have the color shift problem, but the error messages still occur below 1:10,000. My map file is below and the rasters are ERDAS imagine files. The layer "Ortho Photos" causes the error. The only conclusion that we have come to is that: a) there might be a problem displaying Imagine files b) there might be a problem with the size of the files being displayed c) there might be a problem with full color, as opposed to single band (256) color images (all the Tifs are 256 color and we have no problems with them at any scale). Has anyone run into a similar problem besides me? I have not found anything by searching the archives. The same results occur with Mapserver 4.4 and 4.6 compiled with gdal-1.2.5.

I think the answer is they can't. This is why I finally made the jump to PostGIS and I have been VERY happy with it once I got over the 2-4 day learning curve. -Steve W.

Paul, Recent CVS snapshots of GDAL should enable large file support on MacOS X by default. In the configure output you should see a line like "checking for 64bit file io... yes" and in gdal/port/cpl_config.h you should see VSI_FSEEK64 set to fseeko on MacOS X.

In the WCS spec it should be possible to request BBOX as x,y,z (if the data format in the describe coverage) supports it. This is kind of important for weather data, currently we work around this using the bands to be a z dimension. This isn't really true though, and leads to problems with generalised clients interpreting the data. Is it possible to extend GDAL (and hence MapServer) to use 3D/4D+ data sets? The bands and temporal subsetting are great, and are really fast, just a BBOX of x,y,z would be useful.

Norman, I don't think it is practical for GDAL to be truely 3D. So for the forseeable future 3D or 4D datasets will end up being treated as stacks of bands, or some other sort of collection of 2D bands or datasets. The image objects that MapServer draws into are also essentially a stack of 2D bands. In theory MapServer is more malleable in this regard, but it isn't a direction I am eager to pursue. To be honest if you want a true volumetric WCS and the "stack of bands" approach doesn't work for you, you might be better off implementing from scratch rather than trying to change the MapServer data model appropriately.

I'd like to be able to use the point querying abilities of mapserver so that I can click on those points and bring up another point specific web page. In the previous version of mapserver, this wasn't possible because (at least how I understood it) points added to a map via mapscript did not have DB entries and thus could not be queried. At the time when I posed this question, I believe somebody wrote that this was fixed in the next version and I was just curious if anybody can verify that this is in fact possible in the newest version? I'm currently running mapserver version 4.4.1 For a work around, I was converting the locations of the plotted points to their pixel coordinates and making the image into a client side image map with those pixel regions mapped to the pages I wanted to bring up. I've re-written my application though using Rosa and made it much nicer but now my work around isn't really an option so I'm hoping I can use the point query function in mapscript to do what I need.

When requesting a map at large width and heights in order to create pdf printouts, the labels and line/point features get very tiny. In this case, I would like them to be about the same when showing the map at 300dpi as when showing them at 72dpi. This would also solve the dilema when using Mapserver as a WMS using ArcMap as a WMS client by allowing the printout to use the scaled text rather than everything ending up miniscule.

Did you rebuild MapServer with the new GDAL too? C++ ABI changes in OGR mean that you can't generally substitute different versions of GDAL without rebuilding MapServer. Also, does shp2img work at the commandline? Does "mapserv -v"? When running into web environment problems, my first effort is to see if they can be reproduced in a non web environment where better error messages are often available.

Exactly - the two are very different things even though their names are similar. > Underlying question is how can one with a MySQL 4.1 database store and > retrieve spatial data with MapServer? This is described in the Wiki in detail. However - it looks that this wasn't clear enough in the wiki article - the mygis module in mapserver is _NOT_ a postgis equivalent for mysql NOR does it support mysql 4.1 native spatial operations. It is a poor man's sql connector which allows use of attribute data in any version of mysql or if you are proficient with SFSQL tools and libraries (like JTS for example), editing very simple spatial information, most certainly not for maps with large amount of geometries. Another aspect is that the mygis module in mapserver also provides join functionality for attribute data in mysql tables for template queries. So basically if you want mysql 4.1 spatial functions, or simply wish to use mysql instead of having postgis, this may not be what you need. In that case, IIRC there are two choices - GDAL/OGR via an ODBC connector, or Postgis.

Did you rebuild MapServer with the new GDAL too? C++ ABI changes in OGR mean that you can't generally substitute different versions of GDAL without rebuilding MapServer. Also, does shp2img work at the commandline? Does "mapserv -v"? When running into web environment problems, my first effort is to see if they can be reproduced in a non web environment where better error messages are often available. Best regards, I rebuild MapServer after every time I build and install a different GDAL. I tried your suggestions from the command line and "mapserv -v" gave me MapServer version 4.6.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE But, shp2img doesn't produce any output it just hangs. The following is the terminal output. [swc2:/MapServerSource/src/mapserver-4.6.0] pmoen% ./shp2img -m /Applications/4DWebSTAR/WebServer/DefaultSite/mapfiles/test.map -l North -o test.png The command prompt never returns when running shp2img. The only way to get the command prompt back is to ctrl-c. If I try the GDAL 1.2.6 (non cvs version) shp2img works fine. It returns me to the command prompt immediately and exports the attached image. It is only with the cvs version that the problem occurs. test.map is a very simple mapfile with one layer, "North" which is a polygon of North Dakota. Thank you for your patience and time, Paul T.

Message-ID: Using CGI Mapserver, I would like to create reference maps that have their base images dynamically generated. The app would be serving up maps of fire districts. I know the bounding boxes for each district, so the user would select from a list and go to a map of that district. Since there are approximately 40,000 fire districts in the U.S., it won't be very practical to generate a .gif base image for each district. What I really need is a thumbnail of the initial map extent, with an overlay that shows the current view area. It doesn't look like I can pass the name of the base image file to a reference map file, so I was wondering if there was another way to do this. Can I dynamically create an overlay layer with a transparent polygon? If so, which CGI parameter would I pass the overlay's vertices in? Or, do I have to do this all on the client side, drawing the box in a layer over my thumbnail? Can this be done with dbox.js? David S.

I know how to insert georeferenced coordinates in a tiff file that is what you are telling me I undertand, but, my problem, is that I have defined my EXTENT with the coordinates provided by my OVF file and I need that my raster image (a tiff file) matches with them, so I need to calculate the georeferenced coordinates to insert in tiff file, from the existing ones. I have two layers one of them calls to a database to insert several points in the map and the other is the raster image that have to be displayed under the points. I found the present georeferenced coordinates of tiff file trying a lot of values until it match with the existing image but I supose that there is a method to calculate it exactly. I hope I explained my problem so you could understand me. Thank you. Nuri > >Maybe this can help you: >............................... >tfw files >Most image files are stored in units of inches.

Go to www.mapstorer.org or look at sourceforge (or contact Olaf - look in "CC", he's the project-coordinator) Greets, Till -- Mit freundlichen Gr?ssen aus Bonn, Till Adams Depending on your needs, it can be really easy just to create a database and use a XSL Stylesheet. Using Apache Xalan you can query directly into your database from the XSL file (http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#sql) making life really easy. For our project we have used Hypersonic SQL database, and Xalan, and a simple data ingestion tool that collects some simple metadata about the experiment files, the associated user priveleges that are set up in Apache by the tool, and then when it converts the file to geotiff it inserts a row in the database table. To ensure the map file integrity, the stylesheet is run against the whole table every time to create the map file. Mapstorer looks really good though, will have to try it on our next project.

Paul, I'm afraid I don't know what is going wrong. If you are handy with a debugger, then you could run shp2img, break it when it hangs, and get a traceback with the "where" command. Alternatively, if you are in a position to provide "ssh" access to your machine, I could do some investigation.

At the beginning of your process you have 52 tiff files in a UTM zone 15 coordinate system (see attached utm.gif). At the end of the process you will have 52 tiff files in a geographic coordinate system (un-projected). If you simply issued 52 gdalwarp commands (on for each input file), you would end up with "wedges" of no-data around the perimeter of each of the 52 new tiff files (see the red wedges in the attached latlon1.gif) due to the projection of the data. To fill in the four wedges you must issue the gdalwarp command with the four images on the four sides of the first image (see the utm23.gif). Fro example: gdalwarp -s_srs "+proj=utm +zone=15 +datum=NAD83" -t_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" 7.tif 7_latlong.tif gdalwarp -s_srs "+proj=utm +zone=15 +datum=NAD83" 2.tif 7_latlong.tif gdalwarp -s_srs "+proj=utm +zone=15 +datum=NAD83" 6.tif 7_latlong.tif gdalwarp -s_srs "+proj=utm +zone=15 +datum=NAD83" 8.tif 7_latlong.tif gdalwarp -s_srs "+proj=utm +zone=15 +datum=NAD83" 10.tif 7_latlong.tif The resulting graphic is ONLY the area of the first tiff (#7 in my example) with the wedges of no-data filled in. You must now repeat the process for the other 51 tiles. gdalwarp does not automatically expand the extent of the target tiff to include the total area of the four adjacent tiffs; it only uses the data from the overlap region (the red wedges). Some notes: gdalwarp automatically calculates the extent of the new tiff based on the old tiff (and the projection parameters). You can tell it to create a tiff covering a larger area (or smaller) by calculating the the new extent yourself and using the -te option. The most difficult part of the process is deciding which tiles are adjacent. One solution is to just issue the gdalwarp command 52 times for each of the 52 tiles. gdalwarp will not copy any data if it does not overlap the target tiff (you may get a warning message). An alternative to filling in the wedges is to use the OFFSITE keyword in Mapserver's map file to specify that you want the no-data pixels to be transparent when Mapserver reads the tiffs and renders the web image. But this adds to Mapserver's processing time.

The value for that keyword is the temp path relative to the web server's root (http://localhost in your case)--it should just be "/tmp/". While this will probably work on your application, it's not recommended. Also, your IMAGEPATH value is lacking the extra slash "\" at the end. One more thing, if all your MapServer related files are in the same hard disk (C:), you don't need to specify the drive letter. You'll also be better off using the Unix slash "/" instead Windows' "\". The idea is that you can port your mapfile to either Windows and Linux/Unix/OSX without having to change the paths. For example, your IMAGEPATH should be rewritten from IMAGEPATH "C:\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp\" to IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/". Now if you move your application from Windows to Linux (or the other way around), you won't have to change anything unless your files are stored in different hard drive partitions on Windows. Anyway, it's probably the IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL in your mapfile that's causing the problem.

I found out this is caused by using Geometry instead of msGeometry. Apparently msGeometry is now the default name expected by Mapserver WFS for the Geometry column. Anyway, good to know for people who want to port their Mapserver WFS requests to 4.6. Btw, the error handling of Mapserver WFS could use some improving, I run into internal server errors all the time :-) I have opened up 2 bug reports to hopefully improve error reporting :-) http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1423 http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1422 Best regards, Bart Bart van den Eijnden Syncera IT Solutions Postbus 270 2600 AG DELFT tel.nr.: 015-7512436 email: BEN at Syncera-ITSolutions.nl From mapserver at HOTMAIL.COM Mon Jul 18 01:53:43 2005 From: mapserver at HOTMAIL.COM (SUBSCRIBE MAPSERVER-USERS Nuri) Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 03:53:43 -0500 Subject: hyperlink in a map Message-ID: Hi, I have my own map that places several symbols in it through a database.

Bart, PostGIS works wonderfully. Fully indexed searches (if you have the indexes), and you can do joins to classify data on rendering, and it has spatial indexes which speed up rendering like tileindexes do for shape data. I have been very happy with it. Oh and you can keep some data in .tab files and some in postGIS if you wish to easy migration. -Steve W. > Thanks in advance for any insight on this. > > Btw the data is polygon data. > > Best regards, Bart > > Bart van den Eijnden Syncera IT Solutions Postbus 270 2600 AG DELFT > > tel.nr.: 015-7512436 email: BEN at Syncera-ITSolutions.nl > From humberto at PASTORALDACRIANCA.ORG.BR Mon Jul 18 06:05:32 2005 From: humberto at PASTORALDACRIANCA.ORG.BR (Humberto Cereser Ibanez) Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 10:05:32 -0300 Subject: Specifications do a Developing Team In-Reply-To: <42D6C639.000003.02448@DC_EZEQUIAS> Message-ID: > Hi list, > > Does anyone can tell me what softwares should be installed on a local > machine to developer applications with mapserver (php or Java)?

Bart, The only non-RDBMS driver in OGR that supports indexed attribute queries is Shapefiles, and there only exact lookups are indexable. If you don't want the hassle of setting up a complex RDBMS like PostGIS you might consider a lightweight equivelent like SQLite but I do think Postgresql/PostGIS would be the ideal option. PS. I do have a vague intention of implementing indexed attribute query support for mapinfo tab files at some point, and the underlying MITAB does support the index files so it shouldn't be too hard. But no timeline on such work.

Message-ID: Ok, I'm a new user and I'm confused trying to find a clue. Basically I've in inherited a few mapserver projects that I have to update and move from a UNIX to a windows platform. I'm currently playing with it on an XP-pro platform before I move it to a win2003 server using IIs. While I understand the map files and I can modify them on the UNIX server, the windows install has been a nightmare. I have tried so many things (shotgun approach) now that if I get it running, I'm not sure what files are really in the right place. I've been through the permissions hell and believe I'm ok with that. I've also tried the MS4W app on my laptop but that is not helping with my current question. A quick search showed I had mapserv.exe located in c:\mapserver, c:\mapserver\bin, c:\Inetpub\wwwroot, c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin. A http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe? Gives me a run/save/cancel dialog, not the "No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty." I expected. Yet because of a path variable mapserv.exe -v appears to be correct. I plan on using PHP/ chameleon-2.2 and a clue where to place these files/folders would also help. Any help would be appreciated.

PROJECTION is: PROJECTION "init=epsg:42304" END 43204 is defined correctly in /usr/local/share/proj/epsg Upon further investigation, doing a GetMap with EPSG:4326 (zoomed out to the world now), shows the image flipped around: http://devgeo.cciw.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv/ecows?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&RE QUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=-180.0000000309986,-112.5000000193741, 180.0000000309986,112.5000000193741&WIDTH=560&HEIGHT=350&LAYERS=pda_al83 _polygon2&STYLES=&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=FALSE& EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage Doing a GetMap with EPSG:42304 zoomed out to the world (even though 42304 is best suited for Canadian views): http://devgeo.cciw.ca/cgi-bin/mapserv/ecows?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&RE QUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG%3A42304&BBOX=-8831758.337197961,-8736410.016254073 ,31243258.35528204,16310475.41654593&WIDTH=560&HEIGHT=350&LAYERS=pda_al8 3_polygon2&STYLES=&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=FALSE &EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage So, it appears that the image, in 42304, has an incorrect extent.

The final two test failures are due to bugs in the test suite. I think you are probably good to go, it's unlikely that you will be using the OWSRequest class. What's your interest in the Python mapscript? You really ought to upgrade to SWIG 1.3.21+ if you are going to try to use it with Python versions 2.2 or higher. The -modern option results in a higher performance module.

Each county has 2 parameters ('planche' and 'numero') I want to make a html in which I could put these 2 parameters, in order to display the right 'parcelle' (area), with the right information. But with Itemquery, it seems that the qstring parameter is compulsory otherwise this message is displayed : msQueryByAttributes(): Query error. No query expression defined How can I put in the qstring parameter the values of the 'planche' and 'numero' like this : ('[planche]'='xxxxxxx' and '[numero]'='xxxxxxx') ?? I tried to do as in the TestSuite (http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests/itemquery/test.html) but it use the FILTER parameter that is no more used in MapServer 4.xx If you have any information or any example of working Itemquery application (without FILTER), it would be great.

Tyler, are you allowed to publish this list on the user list??? Ofcourse, there are different levels of support. Advanced user support, or support where things have to be bugfixed or even enhancements to the source code. With the latter category, the developers who work on the source code daily will be the best and the fastest.

On Win2k and Win2003 should be: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\scripts (if you have cgi-bin, ok) You can remove remaining mapserv.exe With win2003, you should add a "Predifinied web site" (I translated from Italian, so maybe the name is not correct) called Scripts (cgi-bin in your case). Inside, you have maserv.exe. Try to give full permissions at the beginning, and downgrade till the things still work (this is what you do when You don't know what are you doing...). You must give permissions to mapserv.exe (they are not inerited from Mapserv). To have HttWebRequest to mapserv.exe I gave "Anonimous access" to maserv.exe, but this should not be necessary if you use "pure" templates (I use ASP.NET). You also need to add the mapserver's lib dir to your PATH environment variable. >A http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe? Gives me a run/save/cancel dialog, Maybe few permissions on mapeserv.exe Probably you'll need Proj lib. For this to work add PROJ_LIB to environment varables, which points to the proj's "nad" dir.

However it seems to me that "normal" installation of MapServer does not require separate GDAL installation, so this thing, if true, should be written somewhere (I installed OpenEV on production machine before deleting SRS key form ovf, but had the same error; maybe a reboot was needed, but I wanted reboot production machine).

MapServer app was working fine without OGR/OVF. I removed SRS key form ovf file, and solved the problem (I have SRS code also in .map, so maybe it's ok so). Frank suggested me that maybe is necessary for GDAL_DATA to point to the GDAL files like gcs.csv and pcs.csv. I had this files on devel machine from OpenEV installation (which set GDAL_DATA, I think), which I didn't installed on production machine. However it seems to me that "normal" installation of MapServer does not require separate GDAL installation, so this thing, if true, should be written somewhere (I installed OpenEV on production machine before deleting SRS key form ovf, but had the same error; maybe a reboot was needed, but I wanted reboot production machine).

I was using external libraries for the images instead of the built in libraries. I still haven?t gotten everything to work, but I do not believe it is a problem with GDAL. The version running at http://mapservice.swc.state.nd.us/indexmap.phtml has GDAL 1.2.6 and the raster images work fine at all scales for some counties and not for others. We are looking into the problem assuming it is due to the clipping process, since most the counties we have clipped to the county boundaries do not function properly. For instance, McKenzie, Mountrail, Ramsey, and Benson counties do not display correctly at all scales, but Billings and Burleigh look as they should. All those counties have been clipped with ERDAS. Every county that has not been clipped display as I would expect, no matter the size. > > Paul, > > I'm afraid I don't know what is going wrong.

Bart, I think things are supposed to work as you set them up. I have a vague suspicion that when Steve improved tileindex handling a year or two ago he may have broken something in the OGR layer with it's tileindex support.

The problem is that only the features resulting from the spatial filter are represented, the "else features" do not appear. So, I wonder if I am doing something wrong or there is a Mapserver problem with the ElseFilter rule when a spatial filter is applied. It seems like the ElseFilter rule was not taken into account. I have tried with an IsEqualTo filter instead of the spatial one and it works well. I am using Mapserver 4.6.0.

Hi Nate, You will want to specify your possible output formats in your mapfile: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#outputformat If you are then using CGI mapserver, you will want to specify the output format via the "format" CGI variable. If you are using mapscript, you will use something like "selectOutputFormat" HTH, daryl -- /** * Daryl Herzmann (akrherz at iastate.edu) * Program Assistant -- Iowa Environmental Mesonet * http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu */ From lists at WEBMAPIT.COM.BR Tue Jul 19 18:17:03 2005 From: lists at WEBMAPIT.COM.BR (Eduardo Patto Kanegae) Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2005 22:17:03 -0300 Subject: {off-topic} What is "com_dotnet" at PHP5 ?

The strange fact: I didnt see anything about .NET at php.ini file. What does it mean? Does it mean that PHP 5.x for Windows has .NET support out-of-the-box ??? And what this extension brings up?

I have pretty much got it working but SELinux is still giving a few errors. How I did it. complied and installed all of the dependencies that I was going to use, ie gdal, geos, gd etc with a prefix=/usr/local/mapserver4 Then created a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/mapserver.conf and inserted the full path to the lib directory, ie /usr/local/mapserver4/lib Ran ldconfig Compiled and installed php into /var/www/cgi-bin/mapserver4/php4311 Specified the extensions directory in php.ini to be /var/www/cgi-bin/mapserver4/php4311/extensions and copied the php_mapscript.so to there. Then when I run phpinfo() it should show you the mapscript version and compile options. It works but I am getting the following the /var/log/messages Jul 20 21:30:42 localhost kernel: audit(1121859042.011:0): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=21646 comm=php path=/var dev=dm-0 ino=4964353 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_t tclass=dir So I don't know if this relates running php as a cgi or when php loads the php_mapscript.so module.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: A TEMPLATE is an existing .html file that is used by CGI Mapserver as a "skeleton" page: in this page, there are some fields that Mapserver substitutes with the image of the map, the scalebar, the reference map, and other variables (current scale, current extent, and so on). This TEMPLATE must be defined in the WEB section of the mapfile (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#web). You can also use a TEMPLATE in the CLASS section (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#class) or - if you want the same template for each class of a layer - in the LAYER section (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/mapfile-reference.html#layer) of the mapfile. In this case, the TEMPLATE (this also must be an existing .html file) is used by CGI Mapserver when you query the map: the template contains field that are substituted with vaules of the queried attributes. In your example mapfile, the TEMPLATE instruction as the following meaning: "When you query the map, show results (for this layer) using http://www.nusvirtual.com as template". The question is: is this a good template file? But I suggest you to use a "local" .html file as a template.

Some time it seems that $map->draw() crash for unknown reason. It's not logical (I think), it happened randomly but only when a specific layer is on. What i want to know is to debug phpmapscript, so i made an error_handler for my php script but i didn't log the phpmapscript errors. So i tried map DEBUG but the informations are very orientated for time performance. Is it possible to log only crash ??? Hope this clear...

If you have a bad file or a bad object in the file it would work most of the time but only crash when you are at the correct zoom scale and at the correct spatial extents to cause the object to be rendered. There used to be a utility called chkshp or checkshp or something like that that you can run on shape files to check them. You might want to consider doing that to make sure it is not a data problem. -Steve W.

All my data are stored in POSTGIS so i can't use your utility. About the scale i tried at the same scale with DEBUG ON and OFF When it's ON -> no crash When it's OFF -> crash Maybe my layer def is bad, i have post about my layer definition but had no answer I resend it here. This layer represent some car track on one day, i use gps date to delimitate each path. It a bit long but hope someone could tell me if it's really bad to do this : The data table structure is : | gps_date | speed | altitude | heading | engine_onoff | geom | 2005-06-27 04:58:20 | 100 | 350 | 159 | 1 | SRID=4326;POINT(2.315729 48.777176) 2005-06-27 04:59:19 | 90 | 345 | 120 | 1 | SRID=4326;POINT(2.314061 48.771334) - | - | - | - | 0 | - - | - | - | - | 0 | - - | - | - | - | 0 | - - | - | - | - | 1 | - and so on ..... The field engine_onoff represent each track when it's 1 the engine is power on when it's 0 the engine is power off. My goal is that all path (engine_onoff == 1) are represents in a different color. ( I use seven colors and rotate ) At this time i use a sql query to determinate all tracks starts and ends, then create a dynamic layer via phpmapscript.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dylan, With regards to using mapserver for this, I have no specific examples. I did manage to dig up a a php|mysql|js example which illustrates how to do this (you would be using an array and a parsing function + onclick event, not options), which is here http://forums.devshed.com/archive/t-7293/PHP-and-drop-down-menus. I have a few examples of php->js from my own web-mapping work, but that too isn't done with mapserver. I can provide you with links to that if you want. As far as using js to return info on features/images it would be quite possible with vector features written in either flash or svg. For 'static' images/features such as those rendered as jpegs, the opposite would be true I think. -pete -----Original Message----- From: Dylan Beaudette [mailto:dylan at iici.no-ip.org] Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 12:16 AM To: Peter Giencke Cc: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] PHP MapScript / dynamic points from MySQL / possible to query?

We are trying to use the MN DNR Landview client (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/landview.html) in a web application we are developing. It's very interesting and it will save us an important amount of work and time. First of all, we would like to confirm that the code of that site has some free license, so we can use it. Second, we have seen a problem with Mozilla Firefox (Linux and Windows). When the page is loaded or the map is redrawn by some actions (zoom,... ), the map and the other images get loaded completely but the status bar stays with the "Transferring data from noah.dnr.state.mn.us ....", the message doesn't disappear. We think the problem is with dbox.js and or mapserver.js but we can locate where. Does anybody know how to solve it or any clue about it?

Exact scale could be problematic; Probably you want the user select the area to be printed. In this case, scale will not be preserved. Good thing is that you can place images as percentage of paper's width and height. So you can print in A4, A3, A0, custom dimensions ecc with a unique code block (but scale will not be presereved...). For pdf there are various libraries. Pdflib is not free (pdfliblite is, but under certain circusances), but in php manual there are links to other free pdf libraries (if you use php...). > >the map comes from a complete GIS database, scale 1:25000, the same >used for official topographic maps > Tiff format is suppose.

That is the most reliable way to make sure that the image will be printed correctly. It has a few drawbacks, though: it does not handle transparency (so raster layers will almost alway hidden below vector layers), it is not very customizable, it does not support scalebars as they use fixed fonts.

Assuming you have got eg a provinces layer of your country, you can draw an ROI in the map, eg a rectangle, and then the provinces inside that rectangle can be saved into GML or a shapefile. So this is only extracting existing features, not putting newly digitized features into a file or database, which is what I assume you want to do.

With pdf libs you can place objects where you want (not all libs I tested supports transparency, however pdflib do it). If you look at chapter 5.3 on pdflib manual, you can see it's quite easy to embed images.

In my application, I add some geocoded points onto the map. The points are marked simply with a colored circle on top of a white circle... so for example you get a blue dot with a white outline. In 4.4.1, this works fine. In v4.6, it shows the top circle offset from the bottome circle, so that the edge of the top circle on one side of the circle is tangent with the edge of the bottom circle. I can't really imagine why this happens. Here is my mapserv -v for both versions: MapServer version 4.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG MapServer version 4.6.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=SHAPEFILE This brings me to my next problem. I originally installed mapserver in debian using a debian package. So far as I am aware, v.4.6 isn't available to apt-get yet so I tried to compile it myself. My original included support for gdal and ogr, which I think I should have even if i'm not sure whether or not I need it... I tried adding those just in case that was the reason for my misaligned circle markers. I did an apt-get libgdal1 and libgdal1-dev and added the --with-gdal --with-ogr options to my configure and I get a bunch of errors that look like this: : undefined reference to `OGRSpatialReference::IsLocal(void) const' ./libmap.a(mapogr.o)(.text+0x7f): In function `msOGRSpatialRef2ProjectionObj(OGRSpatialReference *, projectionObj *, int)': : undefined reference to `OGRSpatialReference::exportToProj4(char **) const' ./libmap.a(mapogr.o)(.text+0x132): In function `msOGCWKT2ProjectionObj': : undefined reference to `OGRSpatialReference::OGRSpatialReference(char const *)' . . . Can anybody help me out with these two issues? I would just stick with 4.4.1 but I need to be able to do a query by point on points that have been added to my map in mapscript and as I understand it, this isn't possible in 4.4.1.

Fred, GDAL and OGR are not really threadsafe, so you need to be somewhat careful how you use them in multithreaded environments like Java. There is a mutex around most use of GDAL for raster support in MapServer, but I believe that has not been done for OGR. If you wish, I could try and institute a mutex in the MapServer OGR module as well, if you would be willing to test it out deployed in your Java work environment. Of course, that might not be the actual problems.

On debian sarge this package is called libgdal-dev or libgdal1-dev.

Frank already did a great improvement for performance by including the X and Y values in the WHERE clause in GDAL CVS version, but still I was having performance problems. I was using ODBC and Oracle instant client by that time. After compiling GDAL with OCI support and using OVF through OCI, everything works blazingly fast. In my situation with ODBC a map of a very small region took 7 seconds, now less than 2 seconds using OCI. Thanks Frank for this fantastic part of the software!

As I read the code, it should have passed in root as the userid. In the module: gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/mysql/ogrmysqldatasource.cpp there is a call like: if( hConn && mysql_real_connect( hConn, oHost.length() ? oHost.c_str() : NULL, oUser.length() ? oUser.c_str() : NULL, oPassword.length() ? oPassword.c_str() : NULL, oDB.length() ? oDB.c_str() : NULL, nPort, NULL, 0 ) == NULL ) { CPLError( CE_Failure, CPLE_AppDefined, "MySQL connect failed for: %s\n%s", pszNewName + 6, mysql_error( hConn ) ); mysql_close( hConn ); hConn = NULL; } My suggestion is that you add a printf() to report the actual arguments being passed to this functions for debugging purposes. eg. printf( "user=%s, password=%d\n", oUser.c_str(), oPassword.c_str() ); If the user reported by this is root then it is something funky deep inside the mysql API. If it is "BEN" or an empty string then we know that something is going wrong in the parsing logic for the datasource name (which you can follow up with me).

I don't know, I'm just testing the application to put the server in production. I need to stress the software and hardware, but I found some problems. Well, this is the configuration in my PC, I will install mapserver into a really great server. I will try this and see what I get. It's not a big software, I don't use threads. I'm juts simulating the request from the client. There is something you want to know about the application? Could help you to help me. Well, thanks a lot for everything.

If I use 4.4 with PostGIS-layers PHP crashes with an error in the mapscript module when executing queryByShape. Using version 4.6 the PHP process just runs for ever in both cases (Shape and PostGIS), i.e. the $layer->queryByShape($shape) does not return, but there is no crash and no error message. On the other hand, queryByRect works fine in all cases, i.e. there is no problem with $r = $shape->bounds; $r->project($layerSRS, $mapSRS); $found = $layer->queryByRect($r); except that it returns more results than desired. I found an older bug-report and some discussions on the list about queryByShape issues, but non really helped to solve the problem.

It really is just a simple geographic data viewer, but it's the usability in that context that is impressive. And here's the Top Ten Things I DON'T Like about Google Earth (but then I haven't done much digging): 1. No direct support for WMS (and WFS, etc) 2. No map scale, no arrow pointer for mouse (which finger does that lat/lon reference?) 3. Rough vectors outside of U.S. 4. Thin API 5. No spec on Horizontal or Vertical datums 6. No transparency setting (e.g. white is transparent) on Network Link raster data sources 7. Streaming server (Keyhole) is proprietary 8. No ability to add your own DEM (without Keyhole server) 9. No min/max scale setting for layers (?) 10. Local images require manual warping (no support for Geotiff tags etc) On the other hand Google Earth could serve as a functionality to-do list for osgPlanet: http://www.ossim.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=3 Brent ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norman Barker" To: Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 9:05 AM Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] off topic: earth.google.com Everyone is saying it is amazing, and I like it, it is fun.

I can't make any sense out of that, but maybe somebody can ... ? Bart, Generally speaking the .qix file size is related to the number of features but not to the size of .dbf (more attributes make no difference). The depth you specify when building the .qix file will also have an effect. If you pick a high depth value, there will be alot of lightly populated "deep" leaves to the tree. Generally speaking point datasets are the worst case, and it might be helpful to manually pick a modest "depth" (like 4) rather than accept the default or pick a big number. I have sometimes felt that the .qix files were more bulky than is strictly necessary.

You could have a pull down box of the polygon types on your website, some javascript passes the selected value from the box to a variable in a hidden input in your html form. Make the default value a value that it does not occur in your dataset. In your mapfile, have an extra layer for that data under the primary layer (so that it is drawn on top of the primary layer on the map), with a filter item whose value is the variable in your form input ... FILTER %polytype% or whatever. With a class that will show your selected polygons highlights however you want. You may need to set the hidden input value in your HTML form to your variable to keep your selection highlighted as you pan/zoom: and if you have an entry page to your website that sets up the initial map parameters, you should assign the default value there: In our case, we are using a Flash interface to keep track of everything, so the 'instancing' isn't a problem, and the variable goes into a WHERE clause in an SQL query in our layer's DATA parameter, accessing the spatial data from PostGIS.

The file spec is here:http://www.keyhole.com/kml/kml_doc.html It reminds me a lot of SVG without all the weird path stuff you have to deal with in SVG. It's mostly a display format and there isn't a real good way to store much information so that the user can access it. Basically what you display on the screen in the form of labels or the little blurb you can put in as a description is about it. So writing a translator isn't hard you just bring the geometries over. Everything must be in WGS84 or it won't display correctly. Also you will have to break your data sets up if you have large ones because it gets really, really, really slow as it seems to have to parse the entire xml document in order to load it. Which is weird because they buffer the imagery as it comes in but they have to parse the entire document before they can load the geometry rather than draw it as it parses. Double buffering would be even better but it seems like everything in the interface other than the Satellite imagery was put in as an after thought. I put 1,400 boundaries into it and that dataset usually takes a second or two to load into MapInfo or ArcGIS takes 15 to 30 seconds to load into Keyhole. Just for fun I tried loading in 650,000 polylines that are aerial data routes in an eleven county area and that took 45 plus minutes to load on a dual Zeon processor machine. So definitely break up your data sets and let the users load them when they need them vice making seamless data sets. On Monday if anyone is interested I can put up some screen shots of what a telecom(VoIP and HSI) network loaded into Keyhole looks like.

We have been looking for a way to dynamically contour data for quite some time. Googling surfaces a lot of people attempting various means. Mapping Hacks shows how it can be done using GRASS. Most OOS (Ocean Observing System) mapserver sites can plot data rather easily...color filled circles for sea surface temperature... here is something to help you go the next step. I present a bare bones method to preparing data for contouring any data you've got. Making it dynamic is left as an exercise for the reader. TOOLS: Data (Longitude, Latitude, Value[Z]) GMT (http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/) - compiled with NetCDF - blockmean - surface - Unix util: awk gdal_contour (from GDAL 1.2.5) - must have: GMT (rw): GMT NetCDF Grid Format (as seen by --formats) Step 1: Get your data -- many many ways to do this. In this example, we have long, lat, and sea level pressure(Z). The Z values can be anything. 170.000000,50.000000,1026.400000 170.500000,50.000000,1026.320000 171.000000,50.000000,1026.210000 171.500000,50.000000,1026.080000 172.000000,50.000000,1025.910000 172.500000,50.000000,1025.720000 173.000000,50.000000,1025.510000 173.500000,50.000000,1025.260000 174.000000,50.000000,1025.000000 174.500000,50.000000,1024.710000 [..snip..] Step 2: Use GMT to convert the data to a GMT NetCDF gridded file # You will need to set the GRID REGION up properly for your use... GRID_REGION="-180/180/30/80"; # blockmean option -I put all our nice data into 0.5 degree bins for # the surface program awk -F, '{if ($3>0) printf "%f %f %f\n",$1,$2,$3}' ak.psl | blockmean -R$GRID_REGION -I0.5 > ak.grd # Take output from blockmean and grid it into a 1/2 by 1/2 degree grid and # stuff info a GMT (netcdf) grid file surface ak.grd -R$GRID_REGION -I0.5 -Gak2.grd The normal next step is to plot it up using a GMT tool that produces postscript! Ick! Step 3: Abuse of GDAL - gdal_contour Gdal is really for operating on raster data, but with the GMT Netcdf Grid driver, we can abuse it. Taking our above data, treat it like a raster or heights from a DEM. Now convert from GMT grid to shapefile. gdal_contour -a elev ak2.grd ak2s.shp -i 1.0 From bfraser at GEOANALYTIC.COM Sat Jul 23 13:25:10 2005 From: bfraser at GEOANALYTIC.COM (Brent Fraser) Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2005 14:25:10 -0600 Subject: off topic: earth.google.com In-Reply-To: <005e01c58f59$9e069520$041410ac@comune.lugo.ra.it> Message-ID: Daniele, Google uses KML (Keyhole Markup Language, a XML-ish text format) to define the data source (and it can optionaly hold geometry). See http://www.keyhole.com/kml/kml_doc.html and http://www.keyhole.com/kml/kml_tut.html for details. Yes you can overlay data but unless you buy Google Earth Pro + GIS data module, you must convert the data to KML. Note that there is a "binary" version known as KMZ, which is simply a zip file of KML. As for styling, the KML doc covers some of that, but I haven't tried it yet. The steps for connecting a WMS server are: 1. Create a WMS server able to serve data in Geographic WGS84 (EPSG:4326) 2. Write a "shim"/"reflector" script on a web server to act as a translator between WMS and KML 3. Using Google Earth, do Add -> Network Link, and give the URL of your script in the "Location" text box (e.g. http://myserver.mydomain.com/mykml.asp). Be sure to set the View-Based Refresh setting to "After the Camera Stops" Here's a ASP/VBScript version of the script (you'll need to set your own values for the wms variable): <% bbox = Request.QueryString("BBOX") coords = split(bbox,",") wms = "http://myserver.mydomain.com/mycgi.asp?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&FORMAT=image/jpeg&SRS=EPSG:4326&LAYERS=LAYER1&WIDTH=1024&HEIGHT=1024&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml" names = "My WMS" response.ContentType = "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml" url = wms + "&bbox=" + bbox response.write("") response.write(""+names+"") response.write(""+i+"") response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("") response.write("") response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("") response.write(coords(3)) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("") response.write(coords(1)) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("") response.write(coords(2)) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("") response.write(coords(0)) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("" + VBcrlf) response.write("") %> The above example is a modified version of James Macgill's posted at http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/37249/an/0/page/10#37249 Have fun!

I have used Lisp in the past to write HTML and SVG markups of drawing files. The hard part with Lisp would be re-projecting the data from whatever you map in to WGS84. We map in UTM because a single network can span multiple states so state plane doesn't work for us. I wrote a Lat/Lon <-> UTM library for C++ which is what I use. At the time I was unaware of Proj4 which had I known about it I would have just used that vice writting my own. You could always write a quick Arx that wraps simple coordinate conversions from Proj4 and exposes them to Lisp for whatever projection you map in if you were serious about wanting to do this on a continuous basis. You would just have to be sure you ran an appload for your custom arx before you started your Lisp routine. After that it's just List and String processing which which Lisp rocks at doing. You probably wouldn't even have to use any V-Lisp to accomplish it just plain old AutoLisp should work just fine.

Just write a simple routine that writes the xml and put the coordinates in the appropriate places. Like SVG you can reference display styles so just put those at the start of the document and then you can make your lines and points appear as you want them displayed. You could probably knock out a real nice writer for your drawings in a day. Not exactly on the subject but you said you have used Mapserver and Proj4 from within Acad before? Can you programatically pass variables between Lisp and Proj4 (or Mapserver) to convert points then use those converted points within the Lisp routine that passed them to Proj4? Or does it require a user to read the output from Proj4/Mapserver and then use/enter those converted values? I had always thought that AutoLisp had to communicate with C programs via resbuf linked list structures if you wanted to use the variable again once the C routine was done with it. Is this not the case? I haven't done much Lisp <-> C cross application programming. In kind of a roundabout way using Map5 to reproject is interesting because Map5 uses FMEObjects to do file transformations and FMEObjects uses a lot of the code from Gdal/Ogr. I wonder if behind the scenes it's already using Proj4 in a very round about way.

Let me first describe the effect that I observed: If you have a look at [1] you see a part of map with a street going from southwest to northeast which is correctly shown as kind of a line. On [2] you see the same street on a smaller scale. Now the line is shown with some gaps inbetween which - in my opinion - shouldn't happen. First I thought that this happens because the road is defined as a very narrow polygon which becomes too small in some scales to be considered for rendering. So I changed the layers type from polygon to line. According to my theory the full outline of the polygon should be drawn. But the gaps still remained.

When the map is rendered, each pixel is assigned a colour closest to what the colour table is filled up with. If your polygon is black, and its width is less than half a pixel, it is likely not to show up (because the majority of the invididual pixels consist of the surrounding colour, which is picked instead). The colour for that pixel will be whatever surrounds the polygon. It will not 'interpolate' the colour (make it grey, anti-aliased), like 24bit real-colour would. If you think that is not the case, maybe check your file's geometry. I have seen (parts of) polygons disappear if the geometry wasn't valid, e.g. if a shapefile was imported from CAD, which allows unclosed polygons. regards, Jacob -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Silke Reimer Sent: 26 July 2005 01:02 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Holes in polygons in some scales Hallo!

Is it possible to somehow convert one point and the next one following to a line on-the-fly each time the Mapserver queries the database? My problem is I have a lot of single latlon points which have different timestamps and further values. The user should be able to query these values of a single point but lines should be shown in the map. Using a LINE type would not be very consistent because the user would not know which end of the line is the point the values belong to.

Adam, Looking through configure.in it seems that this option is used to determine if the server is Apache 2.x so that later on the --enable-debug switch can decide if extra work needs to be done to make stderr error logging "non-blocking". I'm not sure what bad things might happen if you don't make stderr logging non-blocking on Apache 2 though. If you aren't using --enable-debug or Apache 2 it shouldn't matter wether you use --with-httpd or not.

You have to label with an attribute, unless, of course, you are drawing features individually using the shapeObj draw method. With that method you pass the label text as part of the method call so the text could be anything at all. There will be a performance and complexity hit should you decide to do that. I would recomend staying with an attribute if at all possible. My question would be why would you want to label with shape id? Since it's not a stable value in many cases. Steve >>> Eric Shuman 07/22/05 6:32 PM >>> I'm new to mapserver and am still trying to keep my head above water so maybe this is very simple, but I have not been able to find a solution so far... I have gotten as far as creating a map file, and PHP mapscript that will query a shapefile by feature and return a map. I would like to label the returned features with the index number of the shapes. (ie. 0, 1, 2...) I have only been able to get labels from the shapefile attributes themselves to work. Is there a way to define the LABELITEM as the ID or shapeindex of the returned features? Do I need to create an annotation layer with points for each shape and define a label value? How??? Can you add a field to the returned featureQuery and calculate the field to be used as the LABELITEM? Suggestions, examples, and guidance would be greatly appreciated!

The CGI program turns all layers that are not "STATUS DEFAULT" off and then requires you to explicitly request layers. MapScript-based applications will usually respect the STATUS value set in the mapfile. The solution? Either use STATUS DEFAULT or explicitly request those layers you want in your call to the CGI application (i.e. &layer=calles&layer=puntos).

If you're using Linux and bash (or something similar), you can do this: (Assuming list.in has a list of input filenames in it) for i in `cat list.in`; do ogr2ogr $i output_$i -t_srs WGS84 ; done Probably easier for automation would be to put all of your "input" shapefiles in an input directory and create an empty output directory.

I have rechcked the sld specs and it specifies that the format should be of MIME type so your sld should be valid. I have corrected the test to test for GIF or image/gif (as well as PNG and image/png). (related bug is http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1430). If possible use the latest version from cvs or until you get a new build you can use GIF as the value of the format.

Message-ID: Dear List I am after some advice, please. I want to know a good way to draw simple polygons (simply-connected polygons with no sides crossing each other) on the client side in a web browser. I see that Rosa does ellipses and polylines - does "polyline" in Rosa mean a closed polygon as it does in Mapserver? What about jbox? Geotools looks as if it might be a bit heavy. And I suppose that one could build upon Javascript "vectorgraphics" (e.g., the www.walterzorn.com/jsgraphics library or www.karlson.ru/jsgraphics ). Any advice gratefully received. Cheers Richard E.

The getcapabilities request seems okay but the LatLonBoundingBox element doesn't show up for this layer. Anyone has an idea of what is going wrong? I checked my Mapserver executable using the "-v" flag and I have GDAL. I also checked out what formats are available using the "gdalinfo -formats" command and I found USGSDEM ( http://www.gdal.org/frmt_usgsdem.html ) in the list. Thanks ================================================================ H?ryk Julien Hi, why are you using a WMS to serve USGS DEMs, apart from a pretty black and white picture you aren't getting any data!! MapServer supports the Web Coverage Service (WCS) http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/wcs-server-howto.html and I am in the process of writing a document on how to use it for DEMs (USGS 16 bit geotiffs), and other formats, let me know if you get stuck.

Well Google have been running their app for quite some time now. VE has just been launched two days ago. They are still in the process of getting more and more data online, and more up-to-date imagery, as well-as eagle-eye imagery. Microsoft has decided to launch with only USA data, and then more data later. I can't see the big problem in that, and seems quite reasonable when you think about it.

World files consist of 6 lines, denoting the following: sampleFile.tfw 5.000000000000 (size of pixel in x direction) 0.000000000000 (rotation term for row) 0.000000000000 (rotation term for column) -5.000000000000 (size of pixel in y direction) 492169.690845528910 (x coordinate of centre of upper left pixel in map units) 5426523.318065105000 (y coordinate of centre of upper left pixel in map units) If you open the image in Photoshop, PhotoEditor or similar, you may look up the image size in pixels (width and height) so that you can calculate the extension in UL, LL, LR, UR. Remember, you have the midpoint of the pixel and need to correct the values for half a pixel. Anyway, I thing that MapServers reads the world file automatically. As for the second question - simply echo the variable $imgURL $img=$map->draw(); $imgURL=$img->saveWebImage(); echo $imgURL; The result looks like this: /tmp/ms_tmp/11224525985001.PNG You can do the same with your legends and reference images...

WCS is interesting but I can't use WCS for now since our web clients are not compatible with this format. Cheers H?ryk Hi Heryk, I will reply to the whole group, since there is a bit of a UK mission to encourage WCS!! It is possible (indeed I would encourage it) to create a WCS, and then to make WMS calls to retrieve a display format of this data, so; http://host/my.map?REQUEST=GetCapabilities &Service=WMS .... or http://host/my.map?REQUEST=GetCapabilities &Service=WCS so the WMS can give you the map, and the WCS can give you the actual data, it is possible to do this with the same map file! This means that your current web clients can use the WMS, but you are also allowing access to actual coverages. Converting USGSDEM to 16 bit geotiff works well, and I have done this using gdal_translate. To quote the spec; Unlike WMS (OGC document 01-068r3), which filters and portrays spatial data to return static maps (rendered as pictures by the server), the Web Coverage Service provides available data together with their detailed descriptions; allows complex queries against these data; and returns data with its original semantics (instead of pictures) which can be interpreted, extrapolated, etc. -- and not just portrayed. I am about half way through writing a how to for this, capturing all the help I received from Steve Lime and Frank W when I approached this. Let me know if I can help further.

H?ryk, You can convert USGS DEMs to GeoTIFF without losing any precision of the original elevation data. The USGS DEM ASCII format is particularly inefficient to access, so conversion to GeoTIFF should give you some performance benefits. To serve the data via WMS you pretty much need to scale it to 8bit on the fly using the pixel data scaling options discussed in the Raster HOWTO (or classification). I would suggest you review these items in the raster howto. I would also encourage you to review the map file I recently provided to the fellow asking about SRTM WCS servers. That map file offers the elevation data as scaled WMS layers as well as for WCS access and can provide you some ideas. For raster query of the original data values I think you will need to have an extra "pure" layer to do the queries against. This query layer would not be scaled or classified. As opposed to the layer used for display purposes.

However, I still can't get the same thing to work with a pointsymbolizer. My intention is to try to get little graphs on a map using SLD, pointsymbolizer and filters so that a layer that has centroids of provinces for instance can have a different graph at the centre of each province. What do you and others think of that approach for getting graphs on a map? Can anyone suggest anything else? Anyway, still need to get a point symbolizer working with external graphics. Attached is the sld that I'm using for points... I'm at a total loss. An SLD for polygons and external graphics works fine.

Message-ID: Hi list, I have a point layer, based on a shapefile. I also have many .DBF files, which are reduced sets of the original .DBF of my shapefile (i.e., I have only one field, "ID", that corresponds to the "ID" field of the original shapefile, and only some records - not ALL of them). Now, the problem: When I browse the map, I want to see ONLY the points that are listed in my "reduced" .DBF (or, alternatively, see them in a different color - defining a CLASS item). Since I use CGI Mapserver, I also want to define a variable (%dbf%) that should be inserted in the mapfile, so I can modify it to change the view of my map (without modify my mapfile). Is it possible? What do I have to add to the mapfile? Thank you, Daniele From kenlord at GMAIL.COM Wed Jul 27 10:50:52 2005 From: kenlord at GMAIL.COM (Ken Lord) Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 10:50:52 -0700 Subject: Other spatial database development (PostGIS) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I found more information that seems to confirm ESRI's intent to block direct writing (for example saving edits) of data from ArcGIS to PostGIS and many other formats. FME Suite by Safe Software can read and write directly to PostGIS and many other formats. It uses libpq to interact with PostGIS. However, ESRI's Data Interoperability Extention ... which is Safe's FME Suite beaten into submission (into ArcToolBox) ... gives you direct read and import capabilities for PostGIS, but no ability to save edits back to PostGIS or the other formats. Instead you must place your data into a geodatabase which you can then export back to PostGIS using their Export Tools. I assume you must then go back and delete your original PostGIS tables manually. In otherwords it offers almost no advantage over pgsql2shp / shp2pgsql, it is just a streamlined way to get your PostGIS tables into ArcGIS. Here's the link to ESRI's specs and FAQ on the extention: http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/extensions/datainteroperability/about/faqs.html Has anyone tried using the Data Interoperability Extention with PostGIS?

Ken, Generally speaking FME's format drivers are oriented to bulk reading, or bulk writing rather than update-in-place, which may explain why the Data Interoperability Extension using FMEObjects is setup this way. I don't know if it is ESRI policy to only do editing on ESRI databases or not, but there are certainly technical reasons why editing on external databases is hard for a big system with alot of expectations of data providers.

Until now I have been downsampling USGS DOQQ images from 1 meter resolution to 10 meters, saving the result as a geoTiff. With overviews, these file are about 1.5 mb per quarter quad. A shapefile tile index is used to render the images in Mapserver. Last night I re-created a section of the tiled dataset in JPEG format at 3 meter resolution. I am much happier with the resulting increase in detail, however I am now noticing some strange artifacts showing up at the "seams" of the tile index. here is an example of what I am talking about: http://169.237.35.250/~dylan/temp/mapserver/bad_edges.jpg the source data do not appear to have these type of "rough edges": http://169.237.35.250/~dylan/temp/mapserver/original_clean_edges.jpg I am using the OFFSITE operator in my map file to ignore pixels with an RGB value of '0 0 0'.

Dylan, The problem is that jpeg is a lossy format, and along the boundaries areas that should be black are in fact just very slightly non-black and so are not recognised as offsite. This will occur to varying degrees with any lossy format like jpeg, ecw, jpeg2000 and mrsid.

Well, I actually have about 3,000 or more of them, at least enough to cover most of CA. Once we add NV and AZ, there are going to be a lot more. Since the DOQQ have a tremendous amount of overlap, i have been toying with the idea of merging the 4 quarter quads back into a single quad- potentially saving some space. I don't really need or want imagery that is much greater than 3m res, in fact 5 meter might be enough... the 10 meter downsampling has just resulted in images that are a bit too poor quality. Finally, if JPEG is a poorly performing image format, at the expense of some extra hard disk space, perhaps staying with geotiff is the thing to do.. any thoughts? thanks!

I'm using the form submission technique and by using php (and Mysql) I get a list of points and dynamically add them to the form, submit the form and all my points are displayed, great! My problem is that in the template file I do not know what the names of my new points are so I can't reproduce my original form. Unless I've missed a trick here, in order to say pan the map by clicking on the image I'd need to produce a form in the template so that when I clicked on the map and therefore submit the form all the original form variables are passed back to Map Server. Is there a way in the template file to get a complete list of the variables Map Server provides, like the $_POST variable in php, rather than reference them individually like [host]? Or am I going about this completely the wrong way? Any answers/thoughts would be most appreciated. Regards, Joe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Frank, Converting a single large image into internally-tiled format can improve rendering speed for small local areas of the image. When gdal_translate'ing to GeoTIFF the "-co TILED=yes" causes the output TIFF file to be tiled. Doing so does not require any changes to your mapfile, nor any tileindex file. Conversely you can actually slice up a large file into regular small tile files, in which case you would need a tileindex and changes to your map file. I don't have a terribly handy way of doing this, and generally I would discourage doing it if you can work with just one large file instead. I call this "external tiling". > Second, if I use gdaladdo to produce overview images, I think they are > all stored in the same file. Do I need only one layer and mapserver > takes the right image according to the current zoom, or do I hav to use > more than one layer with minscale, maxscale? But than, which image do I > use for those layers? Internal overviews within a file are used automatically by GDAL when needed and you do not need to do anything special in your .map file to take advantage of them. A separate "overview" layer in your map file is typically only needed when working with tileindexed layers, to avoid having to open many tile files for requests for large areas. Don't feel bad. Lots of folks are uncertain about the two kinds of tiling and overview building.

I didn't notice that you were using such an ancient version of mapserver or I would have suggested it myself. PS MapServer 4.0 and GDAL 1.2.0 are pretty old by this point. I think you will find it easier to get good help from the list if you upgrade to current stable versions. I think you will find some problems (like this) also just "go away" in more recent versions.

Travis, Did you use -r average when building the overviews with gdaladdo? I think that gdaladdo does not know about "nodata" values, and would average nodata values into overview pixels which could give such an effect. You might want to rebuild overviews with the default "nearest" downsampling and see if they go away. If that is the issue you can open a bug in the GDAL bugzilla about the issue.

I get the provincial boundaries with no point layer at all. I am looking in my apache error log and I see: [Thu Jul 28 11:58:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msDrawMap(): Layer 5 (prov_bound), 0.015s\r [Thu Jul 28 11:58:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msDrawMap(): Layer 9 (popplace), 0.016s\r [Thu Jul 28 11:58:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msDrawMap(): Drawing Label Cache, 0.000s\r [Thu Jul 28 11:58:12 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] msDrawMap() total time: 0.031s\r This error occurs even just with only the prov_bound layer, no SLD.

However, I still can't get the same thing to work with a pointsymbolizer. My intention is to try to get little graphs on a map using SLD, pointsymbolizer and filters so that a layer that has centroids of provinces for instance can have a different graph at the centre of each province. What do you and others think of that approach for getting graphs on a map? Can anyone suggest anything else? Anyway, still need to get a point symbolizer working with external graphics. Attached is the sld that I'm using for points... I'm at a total loss. An SLD for polygons and external graphics works fine.

Try adding "ellps=sphere" to your definition. Your current definition has no earthmodel definition and depending on your setup there may be no default. Note that most projections on a sphere don't map well to conventional ellpisoid coordinate systems. You may find you need to use "ellps=WGS84" instead to get good correspondence.

An example of proper usage is label.color.setRGB(0, 0, 0); All colors should be undefined (-1,-1,-1) by default, so I am at a loss how you get a black label background.

Try this classObj co = new classObj(null); co.getLabel().getBackgroundcolor().getRed() .... should be -1 On the other hand, if you do this labelObj lo = new labelObj(); lo.getBackgroundcolor().getRed() .... will be 0 The second example is improper usage, the label's colors never get properly initialized in this case.

It is done across all labels the are put in the label cache. This basically means Yes across all layers in the map. The priority is based on last into the cache is first out. The idea being that as you draw layers from the top of the mapfile to the bottom of the mapfile you are imaging the most important stuff last on the upper most visual layer of the map. These last layers being most important get their labels rendered first. As more and more labels get draw there is less and less free space for labels from the lower (less important layers so they tend to get bumped off the map. You a little control over this if you are willing to split rendering and annotation of a layer into two layers at the cost of scanning that data twice. Then you can place the annotation layer higher in the layer stack to get higher priority. -Steve W.

Now, after your hints, I have some doubts, using SWIG (Java support) if I do this code: lObjLabel = lObjClass.getLabel(); And after I change some attributes for the lObjLabel, these changes will affect the lObjClass.label? Is it the same objects, lObjLabel reference the same that lObjClass.getLabel(), or is a new copy? After I change the attributes I need to do a setLabel? The other doubt is about the delete() function for the objects. If I call this function the objects (in JavaSwig) will be release or clean the objects? In the lObjLabel, this function will be clean the lObjClass.label? The last doubt :) what is the objects that exist by default when I create a new class object or layer object?

Same situation for new instances of classObj: they are also complete except that they contain no child styleObjs. classObj.getLabel() returns a reference to the classObj's label attribute. It is not a copy. There is no need to delete any object that you have not explicitly created. getLabel() returns a reference to an object owned by the classObj. There is no need to delete the reference returned by getLabel().

Specifically, I would like to add a bit of text just below the scale bars, with a message about the map scale. I would like this message to be updated with every interaction with the map. My attempts thus far are not updated after map interaction. So far i have created a function that creates a custom message based on the scale of the map like this: function display_current_message() { var current_scale = ms.getscale(); var message = ""; if(current_scale > 50001 ) { message = "You are currently working with scale A."; } else { message = "You are currently working with scale B."; } return message; }
Is there a general method of updating the contents of the landview DHTML page that i can use to update my custom bit of text? thanks in advance! -- Dylan Beaudette Soils and Biogeochemistry Graduate Group University of California at Davis 530.754.7341 From osgis.lists at GMAIL.COM Fri Jul 29 12:06:45 2005 From: osgis.lists at GMAIL.COM (David Bitner) Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 14:06:45 -0500 Subject: landview DHTML interface: adding elements In-Reply-To: <200507291144.45132.dylan@iici.no-ip.org> Message-ID: Use the postdraw() function to call your function then do something in your function like document.getElementById('message').innerHtml=message.

Well, all I've found was an example using SVG as outputformat for a query layer and a (apparently) non official SVG HOWTO for version 4.5 on. I've made some tests using mapserver 4.6, but it generates all of my polygon objects filled in black. How is the SVG support in mapserver? Am I doing something wrong?
