Assign color definition to ESRI Binary GRID files

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Wolfgang,

there is no such thing as a colour table in Mapserver or GDAL AFAIK.

You can however try to automatically generate your CLASS definitions from Arcview (I am assuming you are using Arcview 3.x) for instance with Gix.

http://gix.sourceforge.net

If your data  and its classification is very stable you could consider using OpenEV to print a new Geotiff which has the classification already in the image.

Best regards,
Bart

Hello List,
I was trying to get my ESRI Binary GRID files on the mapserver. It
worked fine somehow, as I was able to assign color definitions to the
mapfile by adding this to the mapfile
"CLASSITEM "[pixel]"
                CLASS
                        EXPRESSION ([pixel]< 10)
                        COLOR 200 0 220
                END"

However, I wonder, if this is the best way to do it. My problem is that
I do have color definitions in ArcView (avl-legend), but I do not know
how to put this information directly into the mapfile - is there a way
to do it (something like a color lookup table)?

Thanks again.

Wolfgang
