Hi everybody,
does exist a document, (in the web), about hardware specification for
mapserver?
Thanks

No it does not exist AFAIK, since this highly depends on the sort of application you are building with it, the number of visitors you expect etc. etc. etc.

We generally run on Pentium IV 2 Ghz or higher, memory 1 Gb minimum and fast hard disks. But Mapserver will also run on a simpler machine ofcourse.

Hi Everyone!


I have a weird performance problem with postgis and mapserver.

I have two similar queries, the involved tables and geometry tables has
the same structure and indexes and they are running over postgreSQL for
3 seconds.

But the rendering time is much longer for the second query (1 minute!).
The first is okay, it is completed in 3 seconds.

I can't find the problem. Both of the queries give correct resultset
nearly with the same time over PostreSQL, but during the rendering,
there is a huge time-difference.

What can cause the difference between the two queries? I inserted the
data lines from my mapfiles.
Are there any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Feri

Message-ID: <THU.1.SEP.2005.111819.0200.DIEGO.SAVARDIGMAIL.COM>

Hi all, 
I'm encountering some problems while trying to draw an entire image of the 
world using orthogonal projection.
I use a lat-lon raster image derived from the nasa bluemarble and a 
shapefile of the world countries as layers. I'm working with cgi-mapserver 
4.6 and also with java mapscript, and with both I have problems. 
There's something wrong with the image boundary, it seems that mapserver 
draw the raster only when the extent cross the image border, like it's 
trying to maintain square the raster area.. it happens only for the raster, 
the shapefile is drawn correctly (except from some points that fall in 0,0).
If I zoom in to fill all the image with the map everything works correctly, 
on the other side if I zoom out just to see the entire globe there's no 
raster image drawn, only the shapefile works.

With the bluemarble layer I've tried to use also the processing parameters 
LOAD_WHOLE_IMAGE=YES and LOAD_FULL_RES_IMAGE=YES with no results.

Here there are the parameters I use:


map.setProjection("+proj=ortho +lat_0=10 +lon_0=33 +x_0=0 +y_0=0");
map.setUnits(mapscriptConstants.MS_METERS);
map.setSize(800, 800);
map.setExtent(-6000000, -6000000, 6000000, 6000000);


and here there's a picture to better understand what I mean: 

http://www.daisyred.it/share/mapserv_ortho.jpg

The problem seems not to have relation with poles or -180 longitude line.


Thanks in advance for any advice,
Diego

Probably you would want to use the label object to do that.
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc46/mapfile-reference.html#label

(There is also a German version to read up on:
http://www.umn-mapserver.de/doc44/mapfile-reference44.html#label)

Labels can be positioned automatically or explicitly. For street maps 
ideally you have a line geometry with an attribute that contains the 
text to display. The angle of the text can either be defined using an 
explicit field specified in the LABELANGLEITEM parameter. If ANGLE is 
set to AUTO MapServer will render the streetnames with the inclination 
of the line feature. AUTO is valid for LINE layers only.

This is a snippet from a MAP file

[...]
    TYPE ANNOTATION
    ...
    CLASSITEM zvs_code

    LABELITEM label_text
    # choose one:
    # ANGLE [double]
    # ANGLE AUTO
    # LABELANGLEITEM label_rotation
    SYMBOLSCALE 2000

    CLASS

    END

    CLASS

> Hi,

Dear list,

For the archives, I'll answer this one myself.

Recall that I was trying to use php both as an apache module and as a
cgi, with php_mapscript files being handled via the cgi and all other
php pages via the apache module.

Recent versions of php have a third interface, the cli (command line
interface), which differs from the cgi in one crucial way (with respect
to mapscript and use as a "cgi") - it doesn't send headers, which causes
the "Premature end of script headers" error when used as a cgi.

After googling around I narrowed this problem down to the fact that FC4
was using the php-cli interface. To use the cgi interface, one now has
to call/use php-cgi *not* php.

So the problem was down to not reading the Release Notes that came with
FC4 - which document this issue. So, for the record, here is how I got
mapscript working on a freshly installed FC4 system:

These instructions are based, largely, on the posting of Lindsay C.
Blanton, available via the mapscript wiki:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PHPMapScriptFedoraCore but
updated for FC4. I can provide a cleaner html-ified version if this
could be added to the wiki?

Instructions:

1) get the source

2) install some software via yum:

su -c "yum install postgresql-libs proj proj-devel libtiff curl gd gd-
devel freetype freetype-devel php-devel libpng-devel libpng10-devel php-
gd"

3) install needed further support programmes, gdal, ogr etc. (rpms for
FC4 available from http://mappinghacks.com/software.shtml )

4) configure the source:

./configure --with-php=/usr/include/php --with-ogr=/usr/bin/gdal-config
--with-gdal=/usr/bin/gdal-config --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config --
with-proj

Your choice of options may differ

5) if all is well, then make

6a) if you just want mapserver cgi then copy mapserv to /var/www/cgi-bin

6b) if you want php_mapscript as well, then
copy ./mapscript/php3/php_mapscript.so
to /usr/lib/php/modules/php_mapscript.so

7) create your php cgi handler in cgi-bin:

su -c "touch /var/www/cgi-bin/php.sh"
su -c "vim /var/www/cgi-bin/php.sh"

edit php.sh so it looks like:

#!/bin/bash
export SCRIPT_FILENAME=$PATH_TRANSLATED
/usr/bin/php-cgi

make the php.sh file executable

8) edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add:

Action phpms-script /cgi-bin/php.sh
AddHandler phpms-script .phpms

in a suitable place. change the phpms bits to reflect your choice of
extension for php_mapscript files.

9) get php to load the php_mapscript module. So:

su -c "touch /etc/php.d/php_mapscript.ini"
su -c "vim /etc/php.d/php_mapscript.ini"

and edit the file so it includes:

; Enable php_mapscript functionality
extension=php_mapscript.so

10) restart apache:
su -c "/sbin/service httpd restart"

11) create a file, say info.php somewhere in your webroot, which
includes the following php snippet:

<?php
        phpinfo();
?>

Save the file and view this page in your browser. Look through the
output to find the mapscript entry. If it is not there, then something
is wrong - check the above. If it is there then everything should now be
in place for running .php files through the apache module and .phpms
files via the php-cgi.

Hope this is of use to someone,

Gav

Subject: Using Mapserver as a WMS server with Google Earth
Message-ID: <THU.1.SEP.2005.100328.0400.MILLER_JOSEPHBAH.COM>

There is a PHP script at this site for integrating WMS with Google
Earth:
http://chris.narx.net/?p=13

Just wanted to pass along what else I needed to do to make it work
properly with Mapserver.  Google Earth does not support interlaced PNGs
so the following outputformat needs to be defined in the map file:

	OUTPUTFORMAT 
		NAME PNG24 
		DRIVER "GD/PNG"
		MIMETYPE "image/png" 
		EXTENSION PNG 
		IMAGEMODE RGBA
		TRANSPARENT ON 
		FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=NO" 
	END 

WMS gets should include a FORMAT=image/png in the request.  Also make
sure that Google Earth is set to refresh after each draw and that should
do it.

Just a heads up,
Joe Miller

Hello list,
i'm pretty new in working with gis.
i installed the FGS-Package from maptools.org and it is working pretty 
good.
but now i need the maps of my city ( leipzig/germany ).
My question: does  anybody  have a hind  to get Leipzig/Germay maps for 
FGS ?

Jon (or has anyone else done this) -- 

Did you ever do anything with your XUL client? Did XUL give you more 
flexibility/performance as opposed to straight DHTML? I am curious to hear 
any comments that you might have about XUL and Mapserver together. I think 
that for an intranet site, it might offer a number of advantages.

Subject: Filtering on oracle layers using mapserver 4.6
Message-ID: <THU.1.SEP.2005.094942.0500.OUDELOHUISRVERTIS.NL>

Hi,

Currently we are trying to use different datasets through a single layer
definition in a mapfile. Mapserver runs on a Linux platform against a oracle
spatial database using OGR. The layer always accesses the same table, but we
want to use a filter. But then we got problems. The following two scenario's
are possible:

1. Use a complete Oracle select statement for the DATA clause
Advantage:    Oracles query power is used to get the specific dataset.
Disadvantage: No spatial queries are used by Mapserver when zooming in, so
all data from that set is transferred from database to mapserver. When
Zooming in the application does not get faster.

2. Use the full table for the DATA clause and use FILTER and FILTERITEM
clauses (this is also the proposed option by the mapserver documentation)
Advantage:    perfect spatial where clauses are produced by Mapserver, so
when zooming in performance is getting better because less objects are selected
Disadvantage: Filtering is NOT performed in the Oracle query. We assume it
is carried out in OGR/Mapserver, so too much data is transferred from
database to mapserver. With each dataset added to the database, the
performance gets worse in a lineair way.

We very much like to use option 2, is there any other suggestion/option for
our problem ?

greetz and thanks in advance.

Mapserver itself is just a CGI program, and takes up
very little RAM. It'll run on any reasonably modern
hardware: Some of our test boxes were PII Celerons
with 64 MB of RAM running HostGIS Linux.

Naturally, there are other considerations for your own
needs. Although a low-end PII Celeron will run it, a
high-speed P4 will of course be faster. If you're
running Windows (let alone Mapserver), then a machine
with 64 MB of RAM is torture. If you want a database,
then that's a whole separate animal where all the RAM
you can afford is worthwhile.

In short: The minimum is basically most garage-sale
PCs made in recent history. Your own impatience
dictates getting something as fast as you can afford.
;)


Now, a note on RAM. I had asked about this a few
months ago and thought I'd mention it. MapServer
itself, and Apache with the PHP/MapScript pre-loaded,
still take up very little RAM. My question was
whether, given this low RAM consumption, there would
be a difference between 128 MB of RAM and 1 GB of RAM
(assuming I were not running a database). The answer
was that modern OSs will use all of your spare RAM
aggressively caching files from the disk. Thus, the
extra RAM will make a significant difference, because
the OS can load the shapefile (or whatever) loaded
from RAM cache instead of spinning the hard disk.

Hi Robert,
    In Mapserver exist two ways how to use Oracle Spatial. One is using 
the native support that exist in Mapserver, and the second is using OGR.
    When you use the native support you can use spatial functions and 
operators without problems. About the problem number 1 when you use the 
native support the intenal SQL uses the extent to query the database, 
this feature will improve the performance how you describe. With native 
support you can change the spatial operatior that Mapserver will use, 
with a little parameter you can choose: SDO_FILTER, SDO_RELATE or none.
    About the problem number 2 with native support you can use complex 
query as DATA parameter. You can use complex query as the source of 
data, you can use as source any statment that return a SDO geometry 
object. You can add or change the layer data parameter using Mapscript 
or CGI, using this way you don't need to define a filter parameter, you 
can change dynamically the query.
    An example (using Oracle Spatial Guide):
            "geom from (SELECT SDO_GEOM.SDO_BUFFER(cshape, m.diminfo, 1) 
AS geom FROM cola_markets c, user_sdo_geom_metadata m WHERE m.table_name 
= 'COLA_MARKETS' AND m.column_name = 'SHAPE' AND c.name = 'cola_a')"
    You can choose, native support or OGR support.
    For OGR support I believe that Frank is the better to reply you doubt.
    Thanks.

In-Reply-To: <s315cb5e.096@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>
Message-ID: <THU.1.SEP.2005.112238.0400.PETER.KINGSBURYGMAIL.COM>


Thanks for your reply!

I have found a way to enable the legend the way I want, only showing 
metadata-including layers. I've also modified the LegendTemplate widget 
(set ControlVisibility="true"). So far everything seems fine.

Now the issue exists where the layers will disappear after updating the 
map! The first click results in the proper "on" layer being hidden, but 
any non-default layers are hidden. A following update to the map will 
remove all layers except those controlled by the legend. Strange!

The "always on" rivers layer which stays put after the first Update, but 
disappears after subsequent updates, and a normal initially-invisible 
layer which the legend controls just fine:

    #----------------------------------
   
    LAYER
        GROUP    "Base Layers"
        NAME    "Rivers"
        TYPE    POLYGON
        DATA    rivers
        STATUS    DEFAULT
        CLASS
            NAME    "Rivers"
            COLOR     48 100 230
            OUTLINECOLOR 64 128 255
        END
        METADATA
            SHOWINLEGEND "no"
        END
    END

    LAYER
        GROUP    "Sites"
        NAME    "Sites"
        TYPE    POINT
        DATA    sites
        TOLERANCE 6
        STATUS    OFF
        HEADER '../query/query_header.html'
        FOOTER '../query/query_footer.html'
        MAXSCALE 30000

        METADATA
            SHOWINLEGEND "yes"
        END

        CLASSITEM "sites"
        LABELITEM "sites"
    END

    #----------------------------------

The legend template layer section:

[leg_layer_html order_metadata=legend_order opt_flag=15]
[if name=SHOWINLEGEND oper=eq value="yes"]
        <tr bgcolor="#ffffff">
            <td align="center" width=20>
                <input type="checkbox" name="legendlayername[]" 
value="[leg_layer_name]"
                    [if name=layer_status oper=eq  value=1]CHECKED[/if]
                    [if name=layer_status oper=eq value=2]CHECKED[/if]>
            </td>
       
            <td>
                <img src="[leg_icon width=20 height=18]" width="20" 
height="18">
            </td>
   

            <td>
                <span class="label">[leg_layer_name]</span>
            </td>
        </tr>
[/if]
[/leg_layer_html]

And finally, the LegendTemplate widget:

    <cwc2
        type="LegendTemplate"
        visible="true"
        embedded="true"
        template="legend_template.html"
        popupstyleresource="TextButtons"
        popupwidth="500"
        popupheight="400"
        status="false"
        menubar="false"
    />


Is this a circular catch-22 problem? Is there a way around this behavior?

Best regards,
- Peter

Hi Debbie,

it used to work for me, but I think I used SLD_BODY back then (which should not make a difference), see also:

Haven't tried it in a while though.

 Yes it's possible and it works. I dunno what's wrong with your

Message-ID: <THU.1.SEP.2005.110506.0600.DPS1UALBERTA.CA>

Hello folks,
 
I am making use of MapServer 4.6 and am pulling point data from sql server
2000. I just recently implemented query mode as a drop-down option on my
cgi-generated map but I find that clicks on the map often do not generate
results, especially after a number of zooms via browse mode. I am suspicious
that mouse precision may be at odds with the query or, heaven forbid, the
mouse click xy reference is not transferring well to the latitude/longitude
in my sql server table. Is there a method to broaden the mouse click
coverage or decrease the click precision in the map file to ensure that
query mode clicks will generate results as they should?
 
Thanks for any assistance,
 
David P. Shorthouse

Hmm - I tried with SLD_BODY and at least I got an image this time, but it seems to be the "regular" getlegendgraphic response, not what's actually in the SLD_BODY.

I think I'll file a bug on this.

Hi Debbie,

it used to work for me, but I think I used SLD_BODY back then (which should not make a difference), see also:

Haven't tried it in a while though.

Subject: getFeatureInfo slow with large map files
Message-ID: <THU.1.SEP.2005.193640.0200.ARNULF.CHRISTLCCGIS.DE>

Hi,
just checking if anybody experienced the same problem:

A very large map file with > 100 layers and > 100 classes per layer 
works fine when requesting maps.

But getFetureInfo-requests on one single layer always take 10 seconds or 
more to get answered. First we suspected poor tuning in PostGIS (join 
over three tables) but no - even with a flat table its the same thing.

To confirm this behaviour we extracted this queryable layer and put it 
into a separate WMS, performance is immediately fine. So we have a 
workaround but Nonetheless we wonder what causes this behaviour and 
where else it might steal us a second or two.

Best,

Has anyone experienced this problem?

Periodically, the mapserv binary (executable) changes. The file
size is the same, and the time stamp is the same as when the
file was placed in the directory, and the stats on the file
show no modification to the file, but...the md5sum is different
than the original file and the binary, mapserv, is unuseable.

Thoughts...

Hello folks,
 
I am making use of MapServer 4.6 and am pulling point data from sql server 2000. I just recently implemented query mode as a drop-down option on my cgi-generated map but I find that clicks on the map often do not generate results, especially after a number of zooms via browse mode. I am suspicious that mouse precision may be at odds with the query or, heaven forbid, the mouse click xy reference is not transferring well to the latitude/longitude in my sql server table. Is there a method to broaden the mouse click coverage or decrease the click precision in the map file to ensure that query mode clicks will generate results as they should?
 
Thanks for any assistance,
 
David P. Shorthouse

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Multiple Layer Queries



Hi Rebecca,
 
It appears you are using the CGI flavour of MapServer, which is also how I use MapServer.
 
The header / footer and results templates work as follows:  (at least the way I do it)
 
1.  you submit your query to mapserver, by clicking on the map (or sending query information via URL parameters).
 
2. MapServer parses together the results webpage, starting with the main Header file, which you use to layout the structure of the page, such as a title, the start of a table to show the results, whatever else you want at the top of your page, etc. 
 
3. For the first layer containing query results, MapServer parses the Header template you've made that is specific to that map layer,  the HEADER "xxx" parameter within a layer in your mapfile.
This header can be used to add the layer name, attribute names etc for that layer, and to layout the table structure specifically for the data that is retrieved for this layer.
 
4. MapServer parses through the TEMPLATE "xxx" file for the first layer that has results. think of this as a 'results' template. This file is processed once for each result found for that layer by the query, if you've set it up as a table, this template adds rows of results into the resulting webpage. 
 
5. steps 3 and 4 are repeated for any other layers that returned results.
 
6. MapServer closes off the webpage with the Footer template, where you can close off the html table, or add whatever you want to be shown beneath the results.
 
You list your main Header and Footer template files in the WEB section of your mapfile. Every layer for which you want to show query results must have its own Header and Template files. I find it convenient to name them to match the name of your layer, with a _header or _results appended to the end, such as soilassay_header.htm and soilassay_results.htm. 
 
The CGI values in your result templates need to be [UPPER_CASE] for shapefile layers, and [lower_case] for postgis layers.
 
It is a good idea to include a TOLERANCE and TOLERANCEUNITS for each layer being queried, some versions of mapserver have some funny quirks if you leave them out.
 
I would suggest that you take your existing  queryresults_template file, and split it out into the main Header and Footer files, and a header and template file for that first layer,  then copy and modify the header and template files to suit the other layers for which you want results. 
 
You can view how this system works for me at the following mapserver website:
 
http://24.87.220.99/ms/iwafs.html
 
... Click on the 'Highlights' tab at the top right of the page, and then view map number 3. Query the map with the ' i ' tool in a spot where there's lots of big and small point symbols close together. You should end up with a list of Soil Geochem and Drill Hole query results. 
 
Good luck,
Ken Lord

No. I ran md5sum against the file before and after I
moved the file to the cgi-bin directory. At that time
the file was exactly the same. But after a day or two
the file changes (per md5sum or unix checksum).

I was just wondering if there might be some buffer overflow occuring in
the binary when in use that may be causing this problem. I'm running
on Suse Linux Enterprise 8, Apache 2 server, and Mapserver 4.6.0.

I build my legends by hand with PHP code because the native functionality 
just isn't good enough for what I need. Unfortunately I still can't get it 
perfect because of what I think is missing MapServer functionality. 
Currently my legends are just too big for printing. Is there a way to tell 
whether a certain class is visible w/i the current view? Now I don't mean 
whether the class is within it's scale limits (MIN or MAXSCALE). Rather can 
one tell if a layer / class has any data w/i the current view. For instance, 
I may have a fire hydrant layer w/o any scale dependencies. But I might be 
zoomed into a field way out in the country side. So, yeah, technically the 
layer can be seen at that scale, but no fire hydrants are actually in the 
view.

If this doesn't exist, shall I issue a feature request?

Thanks.

Abe,

I think this would be a very valuable extension and it would not be that 
hard to implement. All that you would need is a bit array that is zeroed 
before a draw request where each bit represents a unique layer-class, 
then as objects are drawn you would OR 1 into the bit array for the 
layer-class index if/when an object is drawn. Then you would need to be 
able to query the bit array for a given layer-class index to see if it 
was drawn.

Yep, should be simple enough to keep a tab on the visible layers as they're 
drawn. Well, I'll just stick to querying each layer by hand for now. Where 
can I go to add a feature request?

Do we also want to put this into the MapScript API where each class can have 
something like:

$class->hasDataInCurrentMapExtents; // Or something more concise. :)

And layers have the equivalent where it's false if each of it's classes are 
false for the above attribute.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I am having this error at some point. This is from apache log. I am sure if
what actually tiggers this error. Does anyone have an idea about what might
be triggering this??.

 

I am using postgres/postgis shapes, standard ms4w 1.2.1 package and am using
phpscript for talking to mapserver.

This can be done using PHP, but it would be much better/faster if it were a feature in MapServer.

To perform this in PHP you would need to create a RectObj that corresponds with the current extent of the map, and then individually queryByRect each layer to see if any objects are within the current extent.  You would be able to reduce the number of querys by not running the query on layers that are not sparesly populated (like your parcels or roads etc.).

Cheers,
Rob

Abe,

I think this would be a very valuable extension and it would not be that 
hard to implement. All that you would need is a bit array that is zeroed 
before a draw request where each bit represents a unique layer-class, 
then as objects are drawn you would OR 1 into the bit array for the 
layer-class index if/when an object is drawn. Then you would need to be 
able to query the bit array for a given layer-class index to see if it 
was drawn.

How are you guys,

As the time goes by I decided to post this question again, just in case
someone is able to help me:

Has anyone compiled Mr SID support into PHP mapscript?  If so, does anyone
have binaries for download?

Also, another question: does anyone know of an efficient way to reproject
MrSID images from Albers to Latlong without converting them into GeoTIFFs?

Thank you very much!

GDAL can handle MrSIDs if you download the development library.  You might 
look at http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal for more about how to set that 
up.

Once GDAL is compiled with MrSID support, All of the Mapserver raster 
support will be available on MrSIDs.

Message-ID: <THU.1.SEP.2005.154935.0700.STEVE_BENZOYAHOO.COM>

Hi,

I'm trying to build the latest version of mapserver,
4.6.1. After successfully running configure, I get the
following fatal error when I try to make mapserver:

make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target
`mapogr.o

The only thing that seemed to be off from the
configuration run was the following:

configure: checking HTTPD server (Apache) version...
checking for httpd... /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
        /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd version is
Apache/2.0.49 ().
Compiling with -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA.
checking compiler warnings... basic

I tried running it without the http and that didn't
seem to work. I'm on a Solaris machine using GDAL 1.2.
Thanks in advance.

Just thought I'd pass along what I did to get this
working. Turns out the 256 was a limitation of the
korn shell, and by simply switching to the bash shell
(by typing bash) I was able to enter more than 256
characters (and thus successfully configure
mapserver).

Thanks everyone for your help on this.

Subject: Class Names not saved?
Message-ID: <FRI.2.SEP.2005.004345.0500.BENPUBINQUIRIUM.NET>

Hi,

I'm putting together a historical map application for high 
school/college level students and am running into some problems with 
setting class names.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but here's what's happening: 
I want to dynamically create classes for a given map (In the full 
app, I create classes, for the test app, I'm just changing an 
existing class).  So, I read in the map, get the layer, and set the 
class name to a new name.  Everything looks fine until I try to get 
the class name from the layer again: the class name reverts to the 
default name defined in the .map file!  Is this some kind of 
referencing problem that I'm overlooking?  Any help would be much 
appreciated.

Thanks!

Ben


Here's a snippet of my map file:
============================================================
LAYER
	NAME	"PersonSqK"
	DATA	states1790
	STATUS	ON
	TYPE	POLYGON

	CLASS
		NAME "Orig Class Name"
		EXPRESSION ([PERSONSSQK] <= 305)
		STYLE
			COLOR			255 255 255
			OUTLINECOLOR		153 153 153
		END #STYLE
	END #CLASS

END #LAYER



And here's some test code to generate the error:
============================================================
<?php
dl('php_mapscript.so');

function dbgout( $text ) { echo $text.'<br>'; }

$map = ms_newMapObj( 'classtest.map' );

$allLayers  = $map->getAllLayerNames();
foreach($allLayers as $a) {
     $theLayer =  $map->getLayerByName($a);

     $baseClass  = $theLayer->getClass( 0 );
     dbgout( 'baseClass default name = '.$baseClass->name);
     // This displays:  "Orig Class Name"

     // Try setting the name to something new
     $baseClass->name = 'Replaced Name';
     dbgout( 'baseClass changed name = '.$baseClass->name);
     // This displays:  "Replaced Name", so far everything is fine.

Subject: Filtering on oracle layers using mapserver 4.6
Message-ID: <FRI.2.SEP.2005.013600.0500.OUDELOHUISRVERTIS.NL>

Fernando,

thanks for the reply, but we would use native support if could, because it
is faster (and according to you, we should not have a problem).
But alas, we also need administrative data from the database, so we must use
OGR ;-(

I very much like to use the extent filter, but the trouble is dat with every
dataset added to the database, the performance drops. So if there are 10
datasets in the table, and you need only one to display, all ten datasets
are retrieved from the database.
And if you use the query to restrict the dataset, even if zoomed in on a
very small area, the whole dataset is retrieved from the database.

Is this a problem with OGR, is it not capable of merging the two
filter-parts, of is the problem within mapserver ?

greetz,

Robert.

Hi list

 

I am a student of Geoinformation and have to set up a UMN server for my
internship. I have to use PHP. I still have programmed the functions zoom in
and zoom out, with zoompoint. But now I want to use zoommrectangle. 

My question: how do I get the 4 coordinates of the rectangle the user
raises?

Thank you for your help!

You could use bdox for this, which is based on CrossBrowser.com javascript
library (x). Code interface for mapserver is similar to jbox

Search in google for dbox and Mapserver

Hi,

you don't need to get the 4 coordinates but only the upper left and the
lower right ones (or reverse) and then you can recreate by yourself the 4
coords. So you've to use javascript functions to record the first
coordinate clicked on the client map (onmousedown event) and the second
(onmouseup event) and send it with a form submit. Then you will be able to
make a php zoomtoextent().

Hope it will help you.

Subject: &SLD_BODY not working, &SLD is working
Message-ID: <FRI.2.SEP.2005.122509.0200.>

Hi list,

I have no trouble getting my selection highlighted using a &SLD type of
request, eg:

http://localhost:8080/stragisweb/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/stragisweb/htdocs/sites/ijmond/map/stragisweb.map&format=image/png&exceptions=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&layers=bisrapport_vlak,bisrapport_vlak,kadperceel&styles=,,&srs=EPSG:28992&width=500&height=500&bbox=100641.32605,496962.94195,100776.59795,497104.145&request=GetMap&version=1.1.1&service=WMS&sld=http://localhost:8080/mami/common/gis/selection.sld

But I want to use SLD_BODY since I do not want to write sld files all the
time from my application, but using the same sld in &SLD_BODY does not
highlight the selection, eg:

http://localhost:8080/stragisweb/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/stragisweb/htdocs/sites/ijmond/map/stragisweb.map&format=image/png&exceptions=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage&layers=bisrapport_vlak,bisrapport_vlak,kadperceel&styles=,,&srs=EPSG:28992&width=500&height=500&bbox=100641.32605,496962.94195,100776.59795,497104.145&request=GetMap&version=1.1.1&service=WMS&sld_body=%3CStyledLayerDescriptor%20version=%221.0.0%22%3E%3CNamedLayer%3E%3CName%3Ekadperceel%3C/Name%3E%3CUserStyle%3E%3CFeatureTypeStyle%3E%3CRule%3E%3Cogc:Filter%3E%3Cogc:And%3E%3Cogc:PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3Cogc:PropertyName%3EGEMCOD%3C/ogc:PropertyName%3E%3Cogc:Literal%3EIMD00%3C/ogc:Literal%3E%3C/ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3Cogc:PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3Cogc:PropertyName%3ESECTIE%3C/ogc:PropertyName%3E%3Cogc:Literal%3EL%3C/ogc:Literal%3E%3C/ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3Cogc:PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3Cogc:PropertyName%3ENUMMER%3C/ogc:PropertyName%3E%3Cogc:Literal%3E3231%3C/ogc:Literal%3E%3C/ogc:PropertyIsEqualTo%3E%3C/og!

I can't get any useful debugging info out of Mapserver to help me solve
this problem.

Does anybody have an idea what could be going wrong? I do get back an
image but the selection does not show.

I am using 4.7, CVS version from 2 weeks ago.

I think that not is possible yet.

Okay, solved this by doing some debugging.

Apparently Internet Explorer does not urlencode the # of the color,
changing it manually to %23 solved the issue.

No this is not possible, Mapserver does not cascade GetFeatureInfo
requests since the output of a GetFeatureInfo request is very vaguely
defined by the OGC, it can almost be anything.

Subject: No "$objMap->insertLayer" in PHP Mapscript: OK. But where is the
 workaround?
Message-ID: <FRI.2.SEP.2005.061924.0700.HAERTAYAHOO.COM>

Hello!

I use PHP Mapscript 4.6.0 and I know that the function
$objMap->insertLayer is not implemented in the PHP
Version of MapScript.
Since this will be implemented in a future release, I
try to solve my problem with ms_newLayerObj(), as
Daniel Morissette wrote in Bug 762.
But I can't figure out how a function to create a new
layer can be a workaround for a function which adds a
layer to the map object.
The Problem is (And many others seem to be stuck here
too) that I have a mapObject with some "dummy layers"
predefined in the mapfile. Now I want to change the
tileitem and tileindex for that layers during runtime
of my PHP Script to fill the dummy layers with some
data (GDAL raster files in my case):

$objLayer=$objMap->GetLayerByName(<layername>);
$objLayer->tileitem="location";
$objLayer->tileindex="<mypath>/gdaltindex.shp";

doesn't work because the layer object lives outside
the map object. 

var_dump(objLayer) dumps the correct layer but a
var_dump($objMap->GetLayerByName(<layername>)) returns
the old layer. 
So can somebody tell me how to create a map object
from a mapfile and add a "runtime-layer" to that
object with PHP Mapscript?

Thanks for any reply,

Michael

You must be getting more errors/warnings from the mapogr.cpp compilation 
just before Make stops with the above error message... the explanation 
of the problem lies in there. Please review those errors or send a copy

Ben,

I'm not sure where in your code you change $a to 'Replaced Name' before
running the 2nd $map->getLayerByName($a)?
If $a is not changed, aren't you asking for $map->getLayerByName("Orig
Class Name")?

What do you mean by 'layer object lives outside the map object'?
I don't believe it does in your case because you are creating it via the
mapObj.

This page has an example of how to put a wrapper around mapserver in
order to "hide" the map= part of OGC requests. I am using PHP on a
windows server using IIS, and I was wondering if anyone out there has a
similar method to do this, but using PHP?

Message-ID: <FRI.2.SEP.2005.080011.0700.HAERTAYAHOO.COM>

Hello Again!

Sorry for evoking some confusion with my mail. I
haven't noticed that there is a parameter for the map
object in the ms_newLayerObj function.

by the way the $obj_layer-><someproperty>=value thing
doesn't seem to work with PHP properly. (That's why
the second output didn't show the changed layer
properties I guess. The layer object was refered
correctly so my Assumption about the layer object
being outside the map object probably was incorrect).

I switched to 

$obj_layer->set(<some property> , value)

and this works fine now. I guess I don't need to use 
ms_newLayerObj(MapObj map [, layerObj layer]) in my
case.

Sorry about my mail,

Michael

More symbol stuff.

Is there a way to make a symbol that is basically a group of points?  
Along the lines of a grid fill pattern, only at the Symbol level?

Ben,

I believe you're working with the layer with the changed name up until
the point when the code re-selects the layer based on the old name. But
I could be missing something in the code.

Hi list,

I've only recently started to work with MapServer, after learning the basics 
of it and setting it up, I am now ready to start creating maps! very 
exciting.

My question would be what editor should I use and how should I use it to 
create/edit mapfiles. I'm currently using Vim with mapfile syntax 
highlighting installed from the user utilities part of the mapserver 
website. This is working well. But it is hard navigating the whole file.

There isn't an overview window which UltraEdit seems to have. I'd have to 
manually scroll to the area of interest rather than doubling clicking on a 
side bar listing of layer objects. I'm not explaining this very well, but 
are you with me?

How is everyone else editing mapfiles? Any advice would be greatly 
appreciated. Oh, my platform is Debian Sarge.

Thanks
Xin

If you use SciTE ( http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html ) with its Ruby lexer, it fits very well for MapFile editing.

We made groupd of trees as an image then applied the image as a symbol 
to a polygon fill. You could do the same for points and by the number of 
points in the image you could get a density. But I'm not sure if this is 
what you need.

What data type to you want to use to display this with and what do you 
want the display to look like?

You need this type of LAYER in your MAPFILE:

CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "virtual.ovf"
DATA "mylayer" # the name of the OGRVrtLayer

Always check your ovf file first with the ogrinfo tool.

this is going to sound wierd, but I want make a grid pattern of of 
regularly space grid points.

I have points at equal distances that I want to make appear that they 
are a girdded filled poly area.

Does that make any sense?   something like a checkerboard pattern but at 
a pixel level to imitate a transparency.

I was just trying to pur two points into a symbol like so:

---------------------------
|            |            |
|            |      O     |
|            |            |
|------------|------------|
|            |            |
|      O     |            |
|            |            |
---------------------------

Just two points, The symbol would be 2 pixels by two pixels, or some 
mutiple of this.  Then if I place two of these point side by side they 
would look like a filled patern (a polygon fill) but still be plotted as 
points.

points 0 0 END
points 1 1 END

But this doesn't work for a POINT Symbol.  It break when there are two 
POINT vaules for a POINT symbol type.

Hi Tim,

I know Frank added this capability very recently for the VRT driver, so it
probably depends on which version of GDAL/OGR you use (you need 1.3
probably). This is the bug report:

http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=900

I use WFS on MySQL Virtual Spatial Data, and Mapserver sets a FILTER on
the OGR VRT LAYER, and OGR adds that to the WHERE CLAUSE which it sends to
the database. You could use the same approach, setting a dynamic FILTER.

Hope this helps.

Btw I am cc-ing the list as it might be useful for other people as well.

Best regards,
Bart

There is nothing obvious in the configure output, and no compiler error 
in the make output.

I see only three possibilities to explain the problem:

1- This could happen if mapogr.cpp is not present in your source 
directory. Could you please check that it's there. (I verified that it 
was included in the released source package).

2- Another option could be that the rule for .cpp files is not present 
in your Makefile (It was there in the release version).

3- Maybe the version of 'make' that your using doesn't like something in 
the MapServer makefile. Perhaps make sure you're using GNU make and not 
another flavour.

Daniel

Hi Davi,

I assume you are on Windows, download FWTools from:

www.maptools.org/fwtools

That will give you ogrinfo.

Virtual.ovf is the XML file indeed.

Just run ogrinfo [path to]/virtual.ovf

and see if it can be processed.

Best regards,
Bart

OK, so why not make them images.

The problem I see in general with this plan is that as you zoom in on 
them the number of pixels between your regularly spaced points 
increases. So you will always be dealing with issues of scaling things 
and I don't think you will get it to look right.

Can you convert your grid points into polygons and do a polygon fill?

Actually, they stay constant. they use pixel coordinates to display by.  
The symbols are always the same size no matter the zoom level.  The 
gridding is applied to the image pixel coordinates, not the MapServer 
coordinate space.





Can you convert your grid points into polygons and do a polygon fill?

Would add a lot of complication and excess data to the process, I only 
need to track the center point right now for example.  It really needs 
to be a symbol, as the grid of points is generated dynamically.

Subject: Problem building MapScript (java)
Message-ID: <FRI.2.SEP.2005.154322.0400.MORANPLACEBASE.COM>

Hi all.

I am trying to build MapScript for Java from the latest version of MapServer
(4.6.1).  However, I am getting this error:

mapscript_wrap.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_msGMLWriteQuery referenced in function _mapObj_saveQueryAsGML

I am not sure what to make of it.  Perhaps I am missing some GML support in
my mapserver dll (libmap.dll)?  If so, I guess one of the optional libraries
contains that support?  Can anyone tell me which one?

I tried compiling mapscript with a minimal version of mapserver (regexp and
gd compiled in).  I also tried it with proj.4 compiled into mapserver.  In
both cases, I am got the above error.

If I've missed something obvious, please excuse my ignorance.  

Thanks,
Moran

Then I would make the point symbol an image and be done with it. That 
should work fine for mapserver.

Daniel,

1) I verified mapogr.cpp is there in the mapserver
source directory

2) How do I check for this?

3) My make is at /usr/ccs/bin/make. I'm running
solaris 9. I tried running this using gmake which
seems to make the file alright (it makes mapserv). The
issue is that it doesn't want to run without setting
some ld_library_path parameters (an oracle and a
libiconv value). After those are set, it will respond
to the mapserv -v command. However, it gives back a
500 error once it's in the cgi-bin directory and run.

Thoughts?

Okay, so the issue was that you were using the Solaris version of Make, 
and there is some stuff in the MapServer makefiles that require gmake. 
This issue is solved.

That's possible if you link with libs that are not in your default lib 
path settings.

Did you look in your Apache error_log to look for hints? It may be that 
your Apache config is also missing the ld_library_path settings, that 
would explain the problem, and you would see something to that effect in 
the error_log.

As a final note to this thread, I was able to get the demo to work thanks to 
Perry Nacionales pointing me to the 4.6.0 build available at 
http://dl.maptools.org/dl/. My problems with the layers in the map file must 
have been related to the HoBu's Kitchen Sink binary I tried after failing to 
get the demo to run under the 4.4.1 binary from the 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/win32binaries.html page.

Hi

I didn't follow all the conversation but as a windows user, I can tell you 
that 90% of the problem with mapserver and IIS come from permission problem. 
Run filemon (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html) while 
loading the page and check the result to see if there's any ACCESS DENIED or 
suspicious FILE NOT FOUND.

Hope this helps

It only dies in IIS when I run the demo (so far, anyway). I am, for example, 
able to run the "Hello World" example on the recipes page 
(http://www.mobilegeographics.com/mapserver/). Aside from the parameters 
that get passed from the index.html page (reproduced below), I've set the 
following in the itasca.map file:

SHAPEPATH "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/workshop/data"

WMS_ONLINERESOURCE "http://localhost/workshop/index.html"

I'm going to try running the example on a win2k box and see if it's 
something specific to XP (I've tried a couple of different XP boxes with the 
same result).

I set the ldlibpath to the libs that mapserver
requires before i compile, but it doesn't seem to
'remember' those when it comes time to run mapserver
later? Is there a way to hard code those values at
compile time?

The error log shows the same errors I get when I try
to run mapserver without those libs defined:

[Fri Sep 02 16:53:03 2005] [error] [client xxx]
Premature end of script headers: mapserv_new

Message-ID: <FRI.2.SEP.2005.173807.0400.RYAN_BOYLESNCSU.EDU>

Hi all -

I'm attempting to install PHP/Mapscript onto a RHEL4 distribution with 
the latest PHP and GD pre-installed.

Mapserver compiles fine, but there are errors in PHP/Mapscript compile:

php_mapscript.c: In function `php3_ms_img_pasteImage':
php_mapscript.c:6267: warning: implicit declaration of function 
`php_gd_gdImageColorExact'
php_mapscript.c:6271: warning: implicit declaration of function 
`php_gd_gdImageColorTransparent'
php_mapscript.c:6274: warning: implicit declaration of function 
`php_gd_gdImageCopy'
php_mapscript.c: In function `php3_ms_img_saveImage':


Normally I ignore compile logs when there's just an error, but this 
seems to cause other problems, and the php_mapscript.so doesn't seem to 
work properly, either as DSO module in Apache or as CGI.

In httpd error_log:
PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library 
'/usr/lib64/php4/php_mapscript.so' - /usr/lib64/php4/php_mapscript.so: 
undefined symbol: php_gd_gdImageCopy in Unknown on line 0

'/usr/lib64/php4/php_mapscript.so' - /usr/lib64/php4/php_mapscript.so: 
undefined symbol: php_gd_gdImageCopy in Unknown on line 0

I've configured  Apache as suggested for other preloaded distros, but 
after 8 hours worth of digging, I'm stuck.

Any guidance?

Thanks,
Ryan

IPower does not let you run processor intensive apps like mapserver on 
their shared servers. I checked with them about two years ago 
specifically about mapserver.

However, Server Powered ( http://www.serverpowered.com/vps.php ) gives 
you root access for $29/month. A little more expensive, but the cheapest 
way to get full server access that I have found.

Hi Ryan,

Have you installed the php-gd package? This looks similar to an error I
had the other day when setting up a Fedora Core 4 box and I was missing
php-gd.

I'd install that, restart apache and try again. I'm fairly sure that's
the problem.

If that doesn't work, perhaps my instructions for installing mapserver
and php_mapscript on a FC4 box may be useful:

http://ecrc3.geog.ucl.ac.uk/dokuwiki/sysadmin/compile_mapserver

All the best,

Thanks for the suggestion Eduardo. I've got scite installed now and it works 
pretty well!

Any further suggestions on this topic are welcome.

Message-ID: <SUN.4.SEP.2005.163159.0400.ABE.GILLESPIEGMAIL.COM>

Is there a way to do this?  queryByPoint has the ability to supply a
radius but queryByShape does.  I thought that setting the layer's
TOLERANCE and TOLERANCEUNITS would help, but it doesn't seem to.  If
this isn't built in functionality, could anyone point me to an
algorithm that I can use to manually buffer a polygon before I supply
it to queryByShape?

Thanks.

Gavin,

Thanks for the advice - I do have php-gd installed (php-gd-4.3.9-3.8)

Moreover, I've tried building PHP/Mapscript both against the standard 
distribution libs as well as my own custom gd build. I see the same 
problems with either.

I appreciate the updated directions you compiled for FC4 - I had 
orginally referred to Blanton's guidance on the MapServer wiki pages. 
Unfortunately, they don't solve my problems.

I'm afraid I may need a custom build of the latest PHP, which I 
desperately want to avoid since update for PHP are more frequent and its 
so much easier to use the update features in Red Hat Enterprise 4.

My gd and gd-devel are version gd-2.0.28-4. My php and php-gd are 
version php-4.3.9-3.8. I know php-5 is standard now, but not yet 
supported on RHEL. I may wait for the next RHEL update, which will 
likely have an updated PHP.

Any other guidance?

Cheers,
Ryan

What version of PostGIS/PostgreSQL?
If >= 8, run VACUUM ANALYZE
If < 8, run SELECT UPDATE_GEOMETRY_STATS()
Sounds like the query planner doesn't have enough information to do a  
good plan combining the spatial and attribute tests.

Finally finished my Mac OS X MapServer update.

<http://www.kyngchaos.com/>

The main addition is PHP-MapScript is now available for both PHP as  
Apache module and PHP as CGI (for those who want/need the stability  
that provides).  This includes updating my PHP installer to include  
both PHPs.

As I dealt with illness and procrastination, MapServer 4.6.1 worked  
its way into this update also.

Hello Steve,
hi list,

I experienced a pretty similar issue trying to compile 4.6.0 on Solaris 
10 a few weeks ago. Joshua Buysse gave me the relevant hint to avoid the 
problem: Try to set LD_OPTIONS in your environment, e.g.
LD_OPTIONS='-R/opt/csw/lib -L/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/postgresql/lib 
-L/opt/csw/postgresql/lib -R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib 
-R/opt/oracle/lib -L/opt/oracle/lib'
export LD_OPTIONS

In your case, find the libclntsh.so.9.0 and make the LD_OPTIONS point to it.

For me, that works perfectly. After recompiling with this option set, 
calling mapserver via web gives you the desired output.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Chris

Subject: can not get tileindex working
Message-ID: <MON.5.SEP.2005.105000.0100.CRAZYGECKOGMAIL.COM>

Hi list,

I've searched the archives endlessly, and though there's been alot of posts 
on this I still can't seem to get the hang of it.

I'm trying to index my shapefiles, as I've been told this will give it a 
performance boost. All my data are all in one directory, and they're roughly 
half a gig in size. It is operating rather slowly at the moment, taking a 
few seconds to display all the layers.

This is how I initially tried to use tile index on my data:
ogrtindex *.shp tileindex.shp # to index all my shapefiles
in the map file, add below to every layer:
TILEINDEX "tileindex.shp,0" # and remove DATA tag

This doesn't work!

I've since read you have to group different types together into one index 
file. i.e. all the POINTS in one, LINES in another etc. So you would have 
say 4 tile index files, each corresponding to each type. Then would I use 
these filenames, i.e. TILEINDEX "pointindex.shp". Is this the right way, 
anyway to automated? And what are shptree used for?

I tried to use imaptools.com <http://imaptools.com>'s shp2tile, but the 
library it depends on(shapelib) wouldn't compile.

One last question. What's qix and should I use it?

Thank you inadvance for your help.

Regards,
Xin

First of all, assuming you are on windows, ogrtindex should be called in a loop:

for %i in (*.shp) do ogrtindex %i mytileindex.shp

Qix is a quadtree spatial index format which Mapserver uses for shapefiles, and yes you should use it, as it will make rendering smaller areas from the shapefile a lot faster. Create the indexes with shptree.

Hope this helps.

Hi list,

I've searched the archives endlessly, and though there's been alot of posts 
on this I still can't seem to get the hang of it.

I'm trying to index my shapefiles, as I've been told this will give it a 
performance boost. All my data are all in one directory, and they're roughly 
half a gig in size. It is operating rather slowly at the moment, taking a 
few seconds to display all the layers.

This is how I initially tried to use tile index on my data:
ogrtindex *.shp tileindex.shp # to index all my shapefiles
in the map file, add below to every layer:
TILEINDEX "tileindex.shp,0" # and remove DATA tag

This doesn't work!

I've since read you have to group different types together into one index 
file. i.e. all the POINTS in one, LINES in another etc. So you would have 
say 4 tile index files, each corresponding to each type. Then would I use 
these filenames, i.e. TILEINDEX "pointindex.shp". Is this the right way, 
anyway to automated? And what are shptree used for?

I tried to use imaptools.com <http://imaptools.com>'s shp2tile, but the 
library it depends on(shapelib) wouldn't compile.

One last question. What's qix and should I use it?

Thank you inadvance for your help.

Regards,
Xin

I installed HostGis (v 3.3) on top of my regular Slackware 10.1 installation 
and everything goes fine so far. You can find out some notes here:

Hi Xin,

It is a little more complicated than you have tried, I will try to 
explain it.

First, don't worry about shp2tile, most people do not need it and you 
would need to get the basic mapserver working and the tileindexes 
working first, before you can assess if you need it.

For performance you need to make sure all *.shp files have a *.qix file
    find /path/to/data -name "*.shp" -exec shptree {} \;
These are spatial indexes and not having these on all files is the 
primary reason for poor performance. Do this first and see how you 
performance is.

Tileindexes are a way of group lots of similar files together into a 
single layer. This is most useful if you have thousands of shapefiles 
that represent the roads (or whatever) of a country and each file is in 
a separate directory say organized by province or region. Then you can 
create one layer and use the tileindex to collect all the files together 
and control them in a single layer.

Tileindexes have constraints on them as follows:
1) they should generally be of the same shape type (as you mentioned)
2) all the files referenced in an index MUST have the same attribute 
structure. This means that if the first file added to the index has 4 
attribute columns say, for example, (int,string,string,double) with 
names (GID,NAME,TYPE,AREA), then ALL files added to the index must have 
the SAME columns in the SAME order.

Tileindexes are also used in some cases where you have done all the 
above, but you have a really HUGE shapefile. HUGE being lots of objects, 
like 100s of thousands, that a spatially diverse. Then you can use 
shp2tile to chop the large file into lots of smaller files where the 
objects are grouped spatially. Then you use a tileindex to bring them 
all together again into a single layer. If you do this don't forget to 
create *.qix files for all the new shapefiles. I also recommend that you 
put all the tiled files into a directory, like roads.shp into roads/

Hope this helps,

Hi Robert,

AFAIK the OGR Oracle Spatial driver does not allow a FILTER to be set. This has to do with that it has no extra logic to build a combined SQL WHERE CLAUSE, ie the one it applies normally by itself, and the one you or a program would specify using a FILTER.

You could talk to Frank Warmerdam about having this added to the OGR OCI driver on a contract. I heard he is on holiday right now.

Hi Steve,

Thank you so much for your reply! It was very informative and easy to 
understand.

I think I shall stick with idx-ing them for now. I've got a layer for roads 
which is 100megs! I'll attempt tileindexing of the second kind on this later 
if need be.

Thank you so much again.

We use HostGIS, and have it running on 4 servers and 2 test boxes.  It
does all we need at this point, except that it currently does not include
SSL, but we are looking at that.  With some minor tweaking I have gotten
Chameleon, MapLab, and Ka-map running on it.  We use it even for boxes
which are not hosting spatial data but for opensource database and
webservers.  It is very fast and easy to install.  I even use it for my
default Linux at home.

Davi,

This looks fine to me assuming you have appropriate local 
information in your real SrcDataSource.  Does ogrinfo work on this
.ovf file?  Any error messages?

Just for clarification, querying on multiple fields is NOT supported,
correct?  Unfortunately my current client requires compound queries of
this nature, but I forgot MapServer didn't natively do this.  I
noticed that Chameleon actually queries DBFs external to MapServer's
API.  I certainly can piggy-back on this method and just test each
case in the compound query by hand and keep records that past the
entire set of tests.  Unfortunately I'm no genius in search technology
and my methods will be done linearlly and obviously SLOWLY.

Can anyone offer any guidance, resources, or any other help?

Thanks.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in

To specify the environment in which I am attempting to use the plugin , it 
is being run under ms4w 1.0.1, maplab2.2, phpmapscript4.4, Windows XP home.

MrSID files are being accessed from a shapefile that is acting as a 
tileindex for 45 DRG Topos for state of California.  Image Path in the 
shapefile is defined relative to position of the map file.

http.conf has been altered to include these lines:

SetEnv GDAL_DATA "/ms4w/gdaldata"
#SetEnv GDAL_DATA "/ms4w/tools/ogr-utils"
SetEnv GDAL_DRIVER_PATH "/ms4w"

Required plugin dll and LizardTech dll are in the correct locations.

The second error is confusing in that it says an unsupported format, but my 
impression was that the plugin was intended to circumvent re-building the 
gdal dlls to support MrSID, so if the plugin were performing its function 
such an error should not be possible.  Perhaps I am mistaken.

It seems there could be any number of problems here, but I am hoping someone 
has some experience using this plugin that may have some suggestion for me.

Thanks for your time and efforts.

Christian,

Danke, for that, enabling LD_OPTIONS with the /usr/lib
and /usr/local/lib solved a lot of the issues, I'm
able to make (as opposed to gmake) mapserver with a
few options now.

There's one final issue I'm confronting. When I enable
--with-wmsclient, I get this error: 

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but
non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [php_mapscript.so] error 1

above that are a bunch of calls for libcrypto.a,
libssl.a, and some others i think...

Any suggestions? This is on Solaris 9.

Abe,

Using the OGC WFS interface of Mapserver you can search on multiple fields. Although there can be some "hassles" with performance for database sources.

Just for clarification, querying on multiple fields is NOT supported,
correct?  Unfortunately my current client requires compound queries of
this nature, but I forgot MapServer didn't natively do this.  I
noticed that Chameleon actually queries DBFs external to MapServer's
API.  I certainly can piggy-back on this method and just test each
case in the compound query by hand and keep records that past the
entire set of tests.  Unfortunately I'm no genius in search technology
and my methods will be done linearlly and obviously SLOWLY.

Can anyone offer any guidance, resources, or any other help?

Thanks.

Hi, I'd like to show a layer (polygones) with the population density in 5
clases
(in different colors).

I made the map file like in centrope_wms_bevdichte_2.map in the attachement
is shown. e.g. with this:

 	CLASS							# Low Density
		MAXSCALE 120000
		MINSCALE 500
		EXPRESSION ([Bev_class]=1)  #if it is a string ('[FIELD]'='value')
		SYMBOL 1
		COLOR 248 147 147
		SIZE 1
	END

	CLASS							# High Density
		MAXSCALE 120000
		MINSCALE 500
		EXPRESSION ([Bev_class]=2)
		SYMBOL 1
		COLOR 249 36 36
		SIZE 1
	END

But I only get this message (when I am using a relativ SHAPEPATH):
	msDrawMap():Failed to draw layer named `Bev_Density'.
or no message and no layer with an absolute SHAPEPATH.


Someone has an idea about this?

Best regarts

Hi Leopold,

Q1: you will need to use a style that uses a vector symbol, e.g.

SYMBOL
   NAME "circle"
   TYPE ellipse
   FILLED true
   POINTS
     1 1
   END
END

then you can use the SIZE parameter in the mapfile on that symbol.

Q2: Are you sre mapserver finds your shapefile in ./data? Did you try to
use an absolute path to your data directory?

Q3: Not sure, but did you try using a 24-bit output format, e.g. png24 ?

Cheers, Michael

Hi,

the error "failed to draw layer..." seems to be more an access problem 
to the shapefile not a problem of the mapfile configuration. You don't 
get the error with the absolute path, so maybe your classification is 
not working, that's why nothing is drawn. Did you try without an 
expression and does the layer show up then? Perhaps you should omit the 
min/maxscale settings also, just in case...

HTH, Michael

Diego, 

I *suspect* that your processing parameters were not set properly somehow
when generating the image you attached.  They should ensure that the 
correct output is generated (at some potential cost in performance). 

I'm not sure what is going on with the vectors zooming to zero.  That
shouldn't happen if failed reprojections are being properly identified
as they should in your case (I think). 

I would suggest isolating the problem with a simple mapfile and
"shp2img".  If you can, then pass it on to me and I'll dig in a bit
deeper.  It is possible that there are problems with setting the
processing parameters from mapscript.  If that is the case, we can
dig into that aspect of the problem. 

Best regards,

I'm a satisfied experimenter with HostGIS. I'm running it on two 
non-production machines now, and I advise you to try it out on a test box. 
The install was slightly foreign to me (I tend to use redhat/fedora), 
mostly at the stage of disc partitioning. It gives you no package options, 
just installs everything. But, "everything" is only what is needed to be a 
full-featured mapserver server: mapserver, perl/php mapscript, postGIS, 
MySQL with geo-extension, ka-map , apache with php and mod perl, gdal, 
proj, ogr, and a bunch of examples using the above. It does not have X, 
but as it is based on slackware, a knowledgeable person can add whatever 
she wants.

HostGIS is worth trying if just for the examples. You can see the same 
street map served via shapefile, MySQL, PosGIS, phpmapscript, 
perlmapscript, and ka-map (I may have forgotten some).

Currently I worry a bit about how updating will be handled. I have 
suggested to the developers that some sort of "slapt-get" or other online 
updating method would be good and they responded that they will look into 
it.

Subject: dBox Problem...
Message-ID: <TUE.6.SEP.2005.135908.0400.>

Paul,
 
I remember I had a couple of errors when I started using DBox... I made some
changes to the javascript code, and I am quite sure one of these changes
corrected the problem you mention.
 
In the "dBox_mousemove" function, try replacing the following line:
 
  var t = e.target.parentObject;

with:
 
  var t = this.object;
  if (!t) return;
 
Where: "this.object" was declared in the constructor, and initialized in the
"mousedown" function, as follows:
 
  var t = e.target.parentObject;
  this.object = t;  // Here it points to the correct target
 
What happens is that the Source (or target) of the mousemove event changes
when your cursor leaves the map area, so that "target.parentObject" is not
the DBox object anymore...
 
Maybe someone has a better workaround though... This one works great with
IE, but not with FireFox.
 
Hope this helps!
 
Stephane Lessard

Hi... I?m using this sample :

But when I draw a box until the limits, an error hapened in javascript:
"'drag' is null ... "
 
Any idea?

I apologize if this has been covered recently but I just ran into this.

In 4.4 wfs used tags <gml:polygonProperty> and now uses
<myns:msGeometry>. What was the reasoning behind this change?

Is this a configuration thing like gml_include_item? Or is this just how

Hello,

I am trying, so far unsuccessfully, to use the flash mapserver 
capability from the Demo for Flash maps (fmv.zip) from the mapserver 
website. I built from source hopefully everything needed.

[djisgitt at dji-ibm cgi-bin]$ ./mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.4.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ 
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS

Entering 
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/djisgitt/fmv/fmv.map&mode=browse 
in mozilla produces all the expected text, and an outline of what should 
be an image, but no image.

mapserver web log shows:

and, true enough, it does not exist. So, my question is why? No 
permission errors, nor any other errors that I can find. My browser is 
Flash capable (I ran the demo from the remote site listed in the docs, 
and all was well.)

What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

p.s. The map file is straight from the demo, so I did not include it here.

Hi List,

Does mapserver have any support for date/time filters in SLDs?

I want to use an SLD to select all features with (date > SomeDate) and 
(date < AnotherDate).

Not sure if it makes a differences, but my data is in postgis.

Abe,

with Mapscript you can search for multiple fields. It's not very clear 
in the documentation, but it works.

You have to specify an existing field of the layer for 'qitem', for 
'qstring' you can define a filter statement that includes more than one 
field/item, like

$qitem = 'FIELD1';
$qstring = "[FIELD1] > 23 AND '[FIELD2]' = 'blabla'" ;
$mylayer->queryByAttributes($qitem, $qstring, MS_MULTIPLE);

I think case-insensitive queries just work using regular expresions.

Ok, that sounds like good news.  Now if I did go to regular

on multiple fields?

No I think you can do the following

$qstring = "[FIELD1] > 23 AND [FIELD2] =~ /^(bla)+/" ;

But give it a try. This is not documented well.

You can use the WMS "time" argument to pass to a GetMap request, along
with the SLD (see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc46/wms-time-support-howto.html on how to
setup temporal support for a dataset).

Steve did some updates to support GML 3 Level 0 format, which involved
some refactoring of the XML content model.  Use "outputFormat=GML3" in
your GetFeature request to enable GML3L0.  GML2 is the default if no
outputFormat is specified.

You can combine regular expressions and normal filter definitions. I 
think one also has to put parentheses around the filter expression (that 
I forgot in my example):

$qstring = "([FIELD1] > 23 AND '[FIELD2]' = 'bla')" ;

and for case insensitive queries

$qstring = "([FIELD1] > 23 AND '[FIELD2]' =~ /(B|b)(L|l)(A|a)/)";

I haven't found another possibility for case insensitive queries. I 
don't know if you can use PHP or PERL regex if PHP is compiled with 
regex=php instead of regex=system.

Message-ID: <TUE.6.SEP.2005.172406.0600.RICHARD.GREENWOODGMAIL.COM>

I think I've got a bug here, but I'll throw it out to the list before
I file a bug report.

I have a map with a state plane (U.S. Foot) projection defined. It
includes a UTM (meters) raster layer. All displays well until
mode=itemquery or itemnquery, or queryfile=... In these modes the UTM
raster layer occupies only a small portion of the rendered map (see
attached image).

I have tested in two different state plane zones with two different
raster UTM image sets, with mapserver versions 4.2, 4.6 and 4.7.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rich

Below is a parred down version of the mapfile I'm using; it becomes

Peter,

I gather the problem you are running into is that the TRANSPARENT 40
keyword for the layer is being ignored, right?  Does this really work if
there is no reprojection?  Looking at the code, it seems that 
msDrawMap() completely skips msDrawLayer(), and calls 
msDrawWMSLayerLow() directly for WMS layers.  This means all the
msDrawLayer() code for handling layer level transparency is ignored.

I would suggest you submit a bug for the WMS client layer implementators
to address (Assefa and Daniel).  

PS. You have two ENDs at the end of your first PROJECTION block.
It took me quite a it of work to figure out why the mapfile didn't
seem to render anything!

Best regards,

I would point out that another book "Beginning MapServer: Open Source GIS
Development" by Bill Kropla (with an Foreward by Stephen Lime, who along
with Howard Butler are listed as the technical reviewers) has just been
published - I received my copy last week. It looks to be a very good
tutorial and guide to MapServer in a (tangible) book form.

http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=443
(do note the corrections to this first edition ...)

[The publisher Apress is currently offering a $10/book discount on
their books - www.bookpool.com currently lists this book at 39% off
not including this discount]

Wow, finally some really decent and affordable GIS books are available in
print :-)

Frank,

Thanks for confirming my suspicions; I'll dispatch a bug report right away... It
looks like the only option until that gets resolved is to use static, projected
rasters (boring!).

PS Sorry about the two ENDS, i hastily ripped that code from my actual mapfile.

Hi,

I'm using mapserver as plain CGI and was wondering if there's a way to 
use the "units" parameter of a map in the template file? I need this to 
perform client side distance measurements.

Thanks, Berend

Dear all

I am trying to set up mapserver as WFS server.

Using shapes as datasource works fine. But when I try to connect to a
OracleSpatial based layer I get any results. The getFeature Request returns
only the bounding box. There are no further error messages. If I use the
same OracleSpatial-Layers  directly in a mapfile (in fact the very same map-
file), not as WFS, they are displayed correctly.

Any Ideas?

THANKS

Jan

Hi All

I'm using mapserver 4.4 with php mapscritp. Not so long ago I was asking You
for an advice regarding service infrastructure, and all advanteges and
disadvantages of diferent configurations so thanks again for all tips I got
from you.
I've decided to separate web server from data server and to put my vector
data into postgis. And my question is what kind of changes will i have to
make when getting everything to work on postgis, do i need to change only
mapfile, to set apropriate connections in mapfile into each layer and all
the rest like php code and html code may stay the same or will the changes
have to go deeper? What kind of thing should i be aware carefull with when
going into postGIS?

Thank for Your advice

Best Regards

Artur

Abe,

You will need to compile mapserver with GEOS support and use the
'$shape->buffer()' on the existing shape to buffer it and then use the
new shape ($bshape) to do the query.
One thing I noticed in using it - turn on the error reporting before
using shapeObj->buffer as there are a slew of things that can cause it
not to work:

my $geoserr = new mapscript::errorObj();
my $bshape = $shape->buffer($bdistance);
print "ERROR: $geoserr->{message}\n";
$bshape->setBounds();

- change CONNECTIONTYPE and DATA to reference your PostGIS tables
- ensure your PostGIS tables have spatial indexes
- ensure your PostGIS DATA statements include both USING UNIQUE and  
USING SRID
- ensure your UNIQUE columns are indexed (using the primary key is  
the simplest way)
- if you have any FILTER statements, change them to use SQL syntax  
instead of mapserver syntax
- if you have any EXPRESSIONS or other references to attribute values  
or names, change them to use lower-case attribute names

That's it.

Hi Frank, thanks for your help.
I've follow your advice and I have tried with 'shp2img' and a simpler
mapfile, using the country shapefile that comes with ArcView. The
result is still that some points of the shapes falls in (0, 0).
Here in attachment the are the mapfile and the image generated.

Here is the log:

I don't know if the problem could be in the projection settings, I've
seen some other over Internet and mine seems corrects to me, but I
could be wrong..
This is the mapfile:

MAP

With the raster the problem is the same also with shp2img. I've seen
the processing parameters inside the code, but it seems there are
still problems defining which points have to be drawn.

Sorry for cross posting folks, but I'm wondering if anyone else is
having trouble using windows binary 4.7 and postgis when your data
statement include "using unique"?

When I tried with the 4.6 windows binary, it worked fine. Argh.

Should I post a bug on this?

Hi, I'm new to PHP and struggling with the examples in Bill Kropla's
"Beginning Mapserver" book, I'm not sure what is going on but I've tried the
example as per then book and also from my own data and I'm getting the same
error. The script does generate a png image that looks correct but errors
when it gets to the $_POST command.  

 

Any clues?

 

 

<?php

function img2map($width,$height,$point,$ext) {

   $maxy = $ext->maxy;

 

   if ($point->x && $point->y){ 

      $x = $point->x;

      $y = $point->y;

 

      $dpp_x = ($maxx-$minx)/$width; 

      $dpp_y = ($maxy-$miny)/$height;

 

      $x = $minx + $dpp_x*$x;

      $y = $maxy - $dpp_y*$y;

   }

   $pt[0] = $x;

   $pt[1] = $y;

   return $pt;

$extent = array(2600000, 300000, 2680000, 350000);

$max_extent = ms_newRectObj();

$max_extent->setextent(2600000, 300000, 2680000, 350000);

Subject: Polygon Buffer Query
Message-ID: <WED.7.SEP.2005.142600.0500.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

QueryByShape does respect tolerance values of the layers being
queried. So, if 2 features don't intersect then a distance is computed
between them and compared against the tolerance. This has the 
same basic effect as physically buffering the query shape (which 
you can do as pointed out by Lowell). I'll check the source to make
sure this is the case though...

Steve

>>> Abe Gillespie <abe.gillespie at GMAIL.COM> 09/04/05 3:31 PM >>>
Is there a way to do this?  queryByPoint has the ability to supply a
radius but queryByShape does.  I thought that setting the layer's
TOLERANCE and TOLERANCEUNITS would help, but it doesn't seem to.  If
this isn't built in functionality, could anyone point me to an
algorithm that I can use to manually buffer a polygon before I supply
it to queryByShape?

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I was waiting to hear 
whether we could afford (time-wise) to make this a priority for the project 
at this point. Unfortunately, we are up against some deadlines and I won't 
be able to get to this for a while. However, it is definitely a worthwhile 
endeavor and I hope to get back to it eventually. I will let you know when I 
do. Thanks much for the help!

Subject: MySQL access and joins
Message-ID: <WED.7.SEP.2005.190922.0400.TOM.KRALIDISEC.GC.CA>

Hi,

Using MapServer (compiled --with-mygis) I have a shapefile and a MySQL
table which I'd like to join on a certain field.  I was pointed to the
following page:

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

Will simple MySQL tables work as the join table?  I believe --with-mygis
will work on a non-sppatial DB

Having said this, what is the state of affairs with mygis and MapServer?
Can I use --with-mygis to connect to MySQL tables with point x/y
columns?  We have done so using the unixODBC and OGR's virtual spatial
data option, but I wonder if the mapmygis.c functionality would perform
better?

If anyone has examples of connecting a MySQL table as a x/y field, that
would be great.

Thanks

..Tom

Hi,

I have a MySQL table which I'm connecting to via OGR's virtual spatial
data option and unixODBC.  The table has ~ 2 million records with x and
y columns.  I have setup an .ovf and mapfile accordingly.

When I run shp2img, CPU usage spikes up to 100% and then a core dump
results.  I am running shp2img with an extent which will result in far
less records.

Any idea what's going on here?  Are all the records being fetched BEFORE
the spatial filtering by shp2img?

Thanks

..Tom

I would have to agree with that sentiment. As someone completely new to this 
field and struggling to pull together all the necessary concepts (not just 
of mapserver but of GIS in general), this book was invaluable. The prose is 
also lucid and easy to follow, a feature often lacking in technical books.

Sorry, I hate top-posting and noticed the full context of the message I 
replied to appears to be pointing to Beginning Mapserver (which I'm not as 
big a fan of, unfortunately). My response, to clarify, was in reference to 
Web Mapping Illustrated.

Message-ID: <WED.7.SEP.2005.230240.0300.LISTSWEBMAPIT.COM.BR>

Hi folks,

I've seen some reviews at internet about the new SUN Solaris 10(which is download free) - some written by Sun and others were tech reviews and I confess I found Solaris 10 quite interesting despite never read about it before. 

Has anyone tried this new sun system with MapServer and other freegis stuff?(gdal/ogr, grass, postgis, etc...etc...)
Or even a prior version?

What to say about Solaris 10 X Linux? is it really faster than Linux or is that true only when used over Sun hardware?

free gis packs(suchs as mapserver, gdal, grass, gmt...) can be compiled without troubles? Or does it depend directly how much ANSI C/C++ the program to be built is?

A bad side I can imagine is about technical support. Of course it would very easier to find Linux help on communities than Solaris or OpenSolaris communities - just a question of user base .

but at this moment I'm not worried about this and just trying to qualify reliability and power between Solaris and Linux over x86 plataform.

best regards.

If you're using FGS, you can install the FGS postgresql package. For postgis 
(the spatial data extension to postgresql) you'll also need geos. These 
three commands should do it if fgs is running properly:

fgs install postgresql-server:8.0.3 http://dl.maptools.org/dl/fgs/modules/
fgs install geos-lib:1.0.0 http://dl.maptools.org/dl/fgs/modules/ 
fgs install postgis-lib:1.0.2 http://dl.maptools.org/dl/fgs/modules/

Check the fgs website for more docs and a list of all the avialable 
packages.

Message-ID: <THU.8.SEP.2005.013333.0400.BILLBINKO.NET>

I reported this recently: it's Bug #1443 in the Mapserver bugzilla 
database.

Per Frank's suggestion, I have backed out the mappostgis.c version to a 
July version.  However,  there is a workaround.

The change that was put in place (that introduced the bug) is a default 
that sets the UNIQUE parameter to oid if it's not set.  So, you can change 
your DATA statement to this and get around it:

DATA "geom from (select geom, gid as oid, pearseda from pda42304) as foo 
using SRID=42304"

That will alias gid to 'oid' and the default will make it work.

Yes: this is a huge hack, and it's a bug (hence my report).  However, it 
might get you working.

Tom,

this depends on your GDAL version. A few months ago Frank did an enhancement for us which added the X and Y columns to the WHERE clause. Before that, yes, all records were fetched.

Also, depending on your ovf file syntax, the driver might get a list of all the tables in the database. I don't know if your schema has many tables in there?

Best regards,

Hi,

I have a MySQL table which I'm connecting to via OGR's virtual spatial
data option and unixODBC.  The table has ~ 2 million records with x and
y columns.  I have setup an .ovf and mapfile accordingly.

When I run shp2img, CPU usage spikes up to 100% and then a core dump
results.  I am running shp2img with an extent which will result in far
less records.

Any idea what's going on here?  Are all the records being fetched BEFORE
the spatial filtering by shp2img?

Thanks

Norbert,

I think I didn't make myself clear enough... I already have a 
(JavaScript) function to measure distance in meters, feet, degrees, etc.

The problem is that I don't know in advance which units I should use. At 
this moment I've hard-coded the correct units in my template file, but 
I'd like the application to be general, so if I change the mapfile, or 
the data, I shouldn't have to change anything else.

Subject: mixed geometries in MapServer / PostGIS
Message-ID: <THU.8.SEP.2005.084318.0200.AXELMMAPSERVERNONA.NET>

Hi,

i'm currently planning a mapserver application which involves several types
of geometries (point, line, multiline, poly, multipoly features) to be held
in a postgis database. This database would allow users to upload, manage and
  classify features.

Those different types of features would be distributed among several layers
(features would probably even be moved between layers with updates to the
database), and the number of layers is not fixed as users would be allowed
to create new layers by themselves.

So, what i'm thinking about to do now is either:

- Hold each and every feature in a single table featuring a generic
"geometry" column, and use queries to seperate feature types and layers
(using eg. a "layername" column). Question related to this: Does Mapserver
cope with mixed geometry tables, or do i need to "pre-filter" the results in
the queries? [ok, could try that out ;) ]

- Hold features of the same geometry type in the same table (a "point",
"line", "multiline" table etc.) and use queries to seperate layers.

- Hold each and every layer in a new table, and dynamically create tables as
they are needed.

I tend to prefer the second solution - that would involve a static set of
tables. On the other hand, filtering by a spatial index _plus_ a column may
be inefficient postgis-wise if huge numbers of layers are involved in a
single table (postgres might decide to ignore the spatial index and go for
the layertype column index only - shriek!)

I'd greatly appreciate any insight from fellow list members on this topic.

Thanks,

Alex Mayrhofer

i've used ogrinfo to check that dgnlib give the correct angle, it 's ok

is it possible to display dgn text with the correct rotation ?
if then can u give me a map file example ?

as u can see in the layer definition , i use "STYLEITEM AUTO", could it be 
the problem ?

Message-ID: <THU.8.SEP.2005.054246.0500.JOHAN.E.HALLGRENWMDATA.SE>

I have created a windows service that is listening on a port for incoming
requests and from these maps are created. It all works fine on my own pc
but on the server there are problems. The server has two processors that
probably cause the problem (that?s the only significant difference I can
see related to my pc). On the server, plane maps works well but as soon I
add inline features to the map (at runtime with mapscript) problems arise.
It?s not immediately but after 50 to 200 maps it could happen. I also
tried to reload the mapObj from the sourcefile when I have problems but as
soon I have an error in the process the error will stay there. Before I
reload the mapObj I am calling Dispose on all references to the mapObj
with no difference.

My guess is:
? The problem has to do with the multi-processor environment.
? The mapObj will not be completely Dispose when I call the method.
? The problem seams to occur even with low loading on the server.
? The problem has to do with the inline features created at runtime.

Has anyone suggestions on this?

Thanks Bart.  I'll upgrade to the GDAL 1.3.0 and test again.

As far as the ovf file syntax:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="somelayer">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:u/p at foo</SrcDataSource>
        <SrcLayer>somelayer</SrcLayer>
        <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
        <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>
        <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="x" y="y"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

So I'm assuming newer versions of GDAL will pass the spatial filter
(from WMS, mapserv CGI, shp2img -e etc.) and apply them to the WHERE
clause to emulate a bbox filter?

At this context I have a question to wrap and Mapscript. Because:

      $label->set("wrap"," ");

won't work. Do I do something wrong?

Hi Tom,

yes you're correct, GDAL 1.3.0 will pass the X and Y values as a WHERE clause to the database. Make sure you do create indexes on them in the database.

The ovf syntax you use will try to read out all tables from your database. I never got the ODBC driver not to read out all tables and just use the table specified (Frank does have an option in there which should work).

I personally like to compile GDAL against the MySQL client and use the following syntax in the ovf file (see attachment). This won't scan the database for tables.

Best regards,
Bart

Thanks Bart.  I'll upgrade to the GDAL 1.3.0 and test again.

As far as the ovf file syntax:

<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="somelayer">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:u/p at foo</SrcDataSource>
        <SrcLayer>somelayer</SrcLayer>
        <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
        <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>
        <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="x" y="y"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

So I'm assuming newer versions of GDAL will pass the spatial filter
(from WMS, mapserv CGI, shp2img -e etc.) and apply them to the WHERE
clause to emulate a bbox filter?

Yes, but this will work ONLY for template based queries (this is not a mygis 
limitiation per se, MapServer has separate code for the template (or 
mapscript) queries, and join functionality you might wish to use in a .MAP 
file).

No, unless the tables are SFSQL compliant, but even in that case using 
unencoded geometries is SLOW since mapserver has to fetch all geometries and 
interpret them.

You can not do a join when rendering maps to make thematic maps using 
shape files. You can do it with PostGIS if you load your polygons and 
statistica data into tables there. This is the best way to do it.

What is the value of the EXTENT of your MAP object?

If you don't specify BBOX, Mapserver WFS uses that EXTENT in the query.

Tom, 

As Bart notes, new versions of GDAL should handle the spatial
queries much more efficiently for ODBC via VRT (assuming the 
database can handle the query efficiently).   

I am concerned about the crash though.  There was a cleanup
issue with an older version of the OGR VRT driver that might
be causing it.  If the problem persists with GDAL 1.3.0 let me know
and we can try to dig into it.

Alexander, 

MapServer layer types determine the type of geometry they want.

The mappostgis.c code seems to try and force features to the 
type required for the layer. So, for instance,  if the layer type is 
LINE, mappostgis will force all polygons into linestrings (the edges).
But point features are not translatable. 

The OGR provider similarly tries to force geometry to the expected
type. 

I'm not too sure what happens to the features that don't translate
though (ie. point features used in a line layer).

I would be very concerned about efficient query if you will end
up dealing with large data volumes.  I'm not sure what is the best
approach though.

Subject: Mapunits in template
Message-ID: <THU.8.SEP.2005.094410.0500.STEVEMSPATIALMAPPING.COM>

Berend:

To paraphrase your question: You want to be able to express the mapfile's
UNITS parameter in the body of the HTML page emitted by the CGI, so you can
pick up its value with client-side Javascript. You have probably found that
there is no [units] tag, or any variation thereof, that you can use in your
templates for this purpose. But here's a (less than optimal) workaround:
Put your units in the METADATA section of the mapfile's WEB block, e.g.

WEB
  ...
  METADATA
    ...
    "units"  "meters"
  END # of METADATA
END # of WEB

Of course, now you have UNITS mentioned twice in your mapfile, with all the
perils and pitfalls that can bring. But it is a workaround, because you can
now refer to the METADATA "units" parameter in your template file as
[web_units], e.g.:

<form name="mapform" method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
  ...
  <input type="hidden" name="units" value="[web_units]" />
  ...
</form>

With the above definitions, your Javascript can get the "units" string with
a simple expression, e.g:

var map_units = document.mapform.units.value;

Hope this helps,
-SM

Hi there,

the units in your case is set to m (so it is meter). The other supported 
unit strings are :

m = MS_METERS;
km = MS_KILOMETERS
mi = MS_MILES;
in = MS_INCHES
deg = MS_DD
px = MS_PIXELS

First of all, "Notice" messages from PHP are not really errors, they're
just "notices" of possibly incorrect or questionable coding. In this case,
it looks like the code intends to check whether the keys 'img_x'
and 'img_y' or 'refresh' are set in the $_POST superglobal array. While I
wouldn't recommend it as general practice, you can tell PHP to
suppress "Notice" messages in your script with the error_reporting()
function. Put the following line near the top of your script:


error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);


A better solution is to modify the code so that PHP is happy. Try this
logically equivalent replacement for the above 'if' statement:


if ( ( (isset($_POST['img_x']) and $_POST['img_x']) and
       (isset($_POST['img_y']) and $_POST['img_y']) )
    or (isset($_POST['refresh']) and $_POST['refresh']) ) {


Or try the following, which may be closer to what the original author
intended:


if ( ( isset($_POST['img_x']) and isset($_POST['img_y']) )
    or isset($_POST['refresh']) ) {


Hope this helps,

Alessandro, 

PROJ.4 does not "know" what datum shift to use for the Monte
Mario datum underlying EPSG:26591.  You will need to research
appropriate towgs84 value to use and apply them in the epsg 
lookup file. 

This offset is almost certain related to datum shifting (or a lack
thereof).

Ryan,

  I have a somewhat modified install of FC4, but I had a similar problem
after updating my Apache & PHP rpms.  I found my solution was to edit my
php.ini file, adding 'extension_dir="/usr/lib/php/modules"' to the Paths and
Directories section.  enable_dl=on, and I have 'extension=php_mapscript.so'
in the Dynamic Extensions section.  The extension is automatically loaded
and PHP functions as a DSO

Alessandro,

you could try the parameter +towgs84=-225,-65,9,0,0,0,0 for the 
projection definition of the Gauss-Boaga/Monte Mario data to force a 
datum shift (taken from 
http://dbwww.essc.psu.edu/lasdoc/overview/geomreg/dtm_list.html, "Datum 
: (210) ROME 1940") and see if the data match better then.

Thanks for the info.  What do you mean by template based queries?  My
overall goal is to generate a map (with shp2img) whose mapfile defines a
layer which has a join btw a shapefile and MySQL table, and CLASS items
based on expressions in columns in the MySQL table.

Thanks for any advice and / or recommendation.

Subject: wms clients
Message-ID: <THU.8.SEP.2005.124913.0700.NATESEASTAR.JPL.NASA.GOV>

I'm looking for a good open source web-based client to use with a web map 
service that is implemented in MapServer.  

My requirements:

- Graphical widgets for zoom/pan/layer selection
- Need to be able to add custom selections (time, discrete region, etc.)
- Animated time series
- Nice-to-have: continuous zoom and pan
- Access a map service in PHP MapScript or via WMS.
- Supports query by point for closest numerical values

I would prefer a JavaScript-based client but am curious: what's the most 
approrpriate client for the job?  I have looked at Community MapBuilder 
and ka-Map and they both look very nice, but I don't know if they can 
easily be modified or adapted for my needs.  Also, I don't know if these 
are production-ready clients.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Nate

Message-ID: <THU.8.SEP.2005.150158.0500.JZEISLOFTGMAIL.COM>

Hello All-

I am starting to play with SLD and am attempting to use an external graphic 
to symbolize a point. I first tried it with my own external graphic, but got 
the error message:

*Warning*: [MapServer Error]: loadSymbol(): Symbol of type PIXMAP has no 
image data. in *C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\htdocs\common\wrapper\map_session.php
* on line *215*

*Warning*: Failed to open map file /ms4w/tmp/sess_4320970788d61/1126209374-
4254.map in *C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\htdocs\common\wrapper\map_session.php*on
line
*215*

*Fatal error*: Call to a member function on a non-object in *
C:\ms4w\apps\chameleon\htdocs\widgets\KeyMapDHTML\KeyMapDHTML.widget.php* on 
line *150*


I then tried it with the sld_symbols_external.xml file from the SLD How-To 
document (I changed the layer name, of course) and received the same error. 
I also tried using PNG instead of GIF - same error. Can anyone offer a hint? 
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Tom,

If you are trying to do thematic mapping with the JOIN it will not work 
unless you put your geometry and your join attributes into PostGIS. I 
recently gave up hope that it might be added to mapserver and moved some 
data into PostGIS and boy am I happy I did. There is a little bit of a 
learning curve, but it was not nearly as bad as I thought in might be 
and I am totally sold on postgres/postGIS and mapserver.

Not sure what the initial error is but you could check the map file 
1126209374-4254.map and see if the inline symbols created reference an 
existing png or gif file.

I would also be nice if you could provide a quick was (+ all realted 
files) to reproduce this bug. At this point I am not sure how to 
reproduce it.

Subject: STATUS in LAYER object
Message-ID: <THU.8.SEP.2005.171049.0400.GYETMANCIESIN.COLUMBIA.EDU>

Hi,

I'm new to both mapserver and the list, hopefully this question isn't 
too 'newbie'.

I have a map file that works fine:

MAP
  IMAGETYPE      JPEG
  EXTENT        -180 -90 180 0
  SIZE           320 320
  SHAPEPATH      "data"
  PROJECTION
    "proj=latlong"
    "ellps=WGS84"
  END

  LAYER # sample jpeg LDEO layer
      NAME         relief
      STATUS       DEFAULT
      TYPE         RASTER
      TileIndex    'i_512/i_512.shp'
      TileItem "Location"
   
      PROJECTION
          "proj=merc"
          "ellps=WGS84"
       END
   END # Raster layer ends here
END # end of map file

However, if I change STATUS from DEFAULT to ON the layer does not 
appear, the image produced is empty. According to the manual (definition 
below), ON is what should be used in 'normal use'. So is something wrong 
with my map file or is there an issue with the use of STATUS?

Thanks,

Greg

STATUS [on|off|default]

    Sets the current status of the layer. Often modified by MapServer
    itself. Default turns the layer on permanently.

    Some notes regarding the STATUS values:

        *

          In CGI mode, layers with STATUS DEFAULT cannot be turned off
          using normal mechanisms. It is recommended to set layers to
          STATUS DEFAULT while debugging a problem, but set them back to
          ON/OFF in normal use.

        *

          For WMS, layers in the server mapfile with STATUS DEFAULT are
          always sent to the client.

To have a layer visible when STATUS is set to ON, you also need to pass the name of the layer in the URL  e.g. '&layer=relief'

Hi Gregory

In my map file i have a layer defined like this.

# 6 layer Lakes
  layer
    data "water-poly"
    name "basemap"
    group "basemap"
    status on
    type polygon
    TRANSPARENCY 90
    MINSCALE 50000
    # 1 class #none
    class
   name 'lakes'
      color 0 214 255
   outlinecolor 128 252 255
    end
  end

 Than in my Template.html i have a checkbox to turn the layer off and on.

<input type="checkbox" name="layer" value="basemap" [basemap_check]>250 water

Hope this helps

Randy

Message-ID: <THU.8.SEP.2005.164447.0500.JZEISLOFTGMAIL.COM>

Hi-

I have created a temporary directory with all of the associated files: the 
context file, the sld file, the temp map file, the temp image file, and the 
wms map file.
https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/jrzeisloft/web/temp/ 

I don't know that you'll need all of those, but I'm not really sure where 
the problem is. Other (non-external) SLDs can be applied without a problem. 

The application I am working on is located at 
http://maps.aqua.wisc.edu/lscmp/viewmaps.phtml. The context I was using to 
test the external graphic SLD is the Bluff Stability context. The layer I 
was using is the Bluff Profiles layer. The SLD I was trying to open is at 
https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/jrzeisloft/web/temp/sld_symbol_external.xml.

I can't think of any other information to offer: I simply go to the 
application, open the bluff stability context, select the bluff profile 
layer (though I am not sure this is necessary), click the Open SLD tool 
button, and browse to the SLD file. Then the error occurs. 

Thanks for your help!

Following on the heels of this note, might we consider a change to the 
STATUS flag in layers, changing 'ON' to something else, such as 
'SELECTABLE'?

A query defines the 'what', not the 'how'. So basically you CAN do 'find me 
the shapefile points that have a mysql field value of X', but NOT DIRECTLY 
'paint shapefile points with mysql field value X green' - which seems is what 
you want to do with it.

You can't.  MapServer pure WMS (without using SLD) only supports one
style (default).

So this is to say that mapserv CGI can't handle this, but using
something like mapscript can?  Is this what you mean by template
queries?

Thank very much to Armin and Frank for the help, this solved the problem:


    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:32632"
      "+towgs84=+225,+55,9,0,0,0,0"
    END

I had to try several values, and now they perfectly match.

I love mapserver!!!

Hi list,

We found the solution. You just need to add an entry  "default   arial.ttf" 
in the font.txt file and copy the arial.ttf file in the font directory of 
your application...and it works...great!!

hi list,

i am using mapserver and ogr (dgnlig) to display microstation dgn file.

here is a piece of my map file :

LAYER

i've used ogrinfo to check that dgnlib give the correct angle, it 's ok

is it possible to display dgn text with the correct rotation ?
if then can u give me a map file example ?

as u can see in the layer definition , i use "STYLEITEM AUTO", could it be

I recently took my first steps into using mapserver, compiling mapserver

o.k. so far and the desired output image ist displayed, but once I click 
on the the map to zoom in, I get:

loadMap(): Web application error. CGI variable "map" is not set.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Steve,

sorry for not answering earlier.
My system?s running Solaris 10. I also used the --with-wmsclient option 
to configure, but I actually used gmake to build my mapserver binary, 
which worked very well then.
The error, you?re mentioning seems to be in context with php_mapscript. 
I found the following, which might be helpful:

Is there way of specifying which elements you want
returned from a WFS.

For example, after I do a describeFeatureType request
I see that the feature has 10 elements e.g  id, name,
area, perimeter, x_coord,y_coord, owner etc.

Is there way to write a getFeature request so that
only name, x_coord and y_coord are returned?

Thanks,

Donal

Yes,

using gml_include_items METADATA on your LAYER eg:
METADATA
 ..
 gml_include_items 'item1,item2,item3'
 ..

Is there way of specifying which elements you want
returned from a WFS.

For example, after I do a describeFeatureType request
I see that the feature has 10 elements e.g  id, name,
area, perimeter, x_coord,y_coord, owner etc.

Is there way to write a getFeature request so that
only name, x_coord and y_coord are returned?

Thanks,

Donal

Hi,

Thanks to David Fawcett pointed out my problem -- that I needed to pass 
the layer name in as part of the URL.

Rather than changing the flag, I think that perhaps the documentation 
just needs some additional info. It's not obvious from the definition of 
STATUS when you should use ON vs. DEFAULT.

The Layer object in a mapfile can have a TRANSPARENCY value to control
overall opacity without having to modify the alpha channel in the source
image (GeoTIFF raster in my case). This is very helpful.

Am I correct that there is no way to tie this to the WMS GetMap argument
TRANSPARENT={TRUE|FALSE} such that a user request for TRUE (the default)
would use the opacity percentage specified by TRANSPARENCY whereas a
request for FALSE would act as if 100% opacity had been specified or
simply ignore the TRANSPARENCY value in the mapfile?

Please feel free to help contribute to the documentation, and add what 
you think is missing.  http://ms.gis.umn.edu/ allows you to add comments 
to the docs (for example you could add a note in the LAYER section of 
the mapfile reference)...or I also see that an FAQ exists for your same 
issue http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/default_vs_on_vs_off (feel free to 
add to it).

There are some versioning differences with the old site's docs and this 
one, but hopefully that will be resolved soon.

thanks!

Message-ID: <FRI.9.SEP.2005.084512.0500.H.WILSDORFGMX.DE>

Hi, I'm using MapServer version 4.6.0 CGI with Postgis /Postgres80 on
Win2000.
The image of the geometry works fine.
But I've got trouble with getting results in query mode.
When I query a polygon from postgis, then i got a page with
content "Content-type: text/html", and my template specified in the CLASS
section of mapfile is completely ignored. Only the header template is
working. Even when I misspell the template name, this is not reported. With
the same geometrie as a layer from shape data, the template runs fine from
the same mapfile.
When I query a point from postgis, the template file is also ignored, but I
got an additional error: "Content-type: text/html msPOSTGISLayerGetShape():
Query error. Error executing POSTGIS SQL statement (in FETCH ALL): DECLARE
mycursor2 BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT

The same results are with mapserver 4.4 and 4.2 on IIS and apache.
Is there a general problem with query postgis layers??? or is there a
special trick for postgis?

Thank you for help - Henrik.

Regarding this ?what is the difference between STATUS ON and STATUS

activate the "OFF" layer with the layer paramater in the request. ?Is
the diffence only in WMS/WFS petitions?

With the CGI application all layers are turned off (except those that are
DEFAULT) automatically. Then you must explicitly request layers via
the "layer" or "layers" parameters. Outside of the CGI the value for
STATUS is respected (e.g. shp2img)...

I am setting up a WMS server and want to use Chameleon or some other

I assume supporting query involves using another OGC protocol (WCS)?

Jeff, 

I *think* that the WMS TRANSPARENCY flag is used by MapServer
to control whether the resulting image makes the background color
transparent or not.  It does not (to the best of my knowledge) 
interact with layer-level transparency at all.   Nor do I think that
would be appropriate, though I haven't considered it deeply.

Best regards,

A layer is queryable if it has a template defined for query presentation. A line
like:

  TEMPLATE 'dummy'

will suffice. You also must set a line like:

  DUMP TRUE

for WMS feature queries to work. Doesn't have anything to do with WCS. The
WMS how-to on the main MapServer site contains example mapfile snippets...

Howard,

Saw your link on IRC and followed it.  Very interesting and wonderful of 
you guys to donate your time.  I notice that you have a WorldWind 
interface available, and thought I'd help out by providing a Google Earth 
redirector for it.

This is based on http://chris.narx.net/?p=15 and I have had excellent luck 
with it.

I cannot test this evening my Windows box went to bed with my wife.  
However, it should be 99% of what you need: just put this on your site and 
enable PHP for the directory it lives in.  You might want to tweak the 
layers and such for the WMS portion.  Also, Google Earth seems not to like 
interlaced images (of any format).

You will know better than I how to tweak the WMS query string below, but I 
have found this very very useful.  On a Windows box, both FireFox and IE 
will launch GoogleEarth with this file which will ask if you want to add 
the Folder.  If you do, it will add an option to your "Places" list.

I hope this helps, and let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Bill

Abstract

Elshayal Smart? package is an almost First Arabian GIS software? which completely developed by Arabian developers team and independent of any commercial software package

 

1.       The software is a GIS standalone applications that Read Shape file and its atribute table and present them in layers and give the user the full GIS tools such as ( zoom in , zoom out , pan , full extend ,  selection , measure distance )  and view these layers as 2D & 3D  

2.       The software allows the user to creat a Network and  measure  the Shortest Path between 2 points in any LINE layer. 

3.       It also have Query builder module which allow the user to search throu the attribute table of any layer.

4.       GPS Module read from the GPS Deveice and can covert the Lat & Long to 23 projection coordinates system such as (Airy , Australian National , Bessel 1841 , Bessel 1841 (Nambia) , Clarke 1866 , Clarke 1880 , Everest , Fischer 1960  , Fischer 1968 , Fischer 1968 , Fischer 1968 , Fischer 1968 , Hough , International , Krassovsky , Modified Airy , Modified Everest , Modified Fischer 1960 , South American 1969 , WGS 60 , WGS 66 , WGS-72 , WGS-84 ) 

5.       Selection Module Allow the user to select from the map or the table

 

Elshayal Smart? has other versions which work on Internet Server or smart devices like PDAs, and pocket PCs.  

 

Versions and Platforms: 

1.        "El-Shayal Smart GIS Editor?" for browsing maps on the desktop and laptop computers ( windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003)

To the best of my knowledge, there is no such information available,
outside of Denmark. Governments across Europe mostly take a foolhardy
"cost-recovery" stance towards this data collection, ignoring the
possible economic and social benefits that could accrue from having it
freely available. If you want this data, perhaps you should sign the
Free Geodata manifesto?

Hi list,
 I've tried to get my mapserver application with svg outputformat but I 
getting the following message:
 loadOutputFormat(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT clause references 
driver svg, but this driver isn't configured. 
 I'm using * **MS4W version

Hi, mapserver list,

I am new to this list and I am working on a small GIS project. I am using
VBGIS by Jay Burnett.

My application runs fine so far except for this error message:

msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String ([...]\GIS.html) failed
expression test. So I do not get a map drawn.

The above mentioned map.html contains only the following lines:

image_file=[img]
image_ext=[mapext]
image_xy=[center]

Do you know the possible error source?
Where do I find more information about this method msEvalRegex() which I
could probably find useful to solve my problem?

Sincerly Jens-Peter

SVG support was added in MapServer version 4.5, and the mapserv in MS4W 
v1.0.1 is 4.4.  The latest MS4W has OUTPUT=SVG support and mapserv 
4.6.0, so you will have to upgrade.

PS. There is a separate mailing list for MS4W issues 
(http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users).

There is a slight error in my posting that is not the source of the error:

mentioned the map.html as the template file where the GIS ist drawn into.

Dear FOSS GIS users,

[sorry for crossposting]

GDF Hannover is proud to present the English translation of the
well-known German GRASS GIS Tutorial version 1.2.

The book covers an introduction to the Free Geographic Information
System GRASS 6.0. It extends the available literature about GRASS 6 
by aspects of installation and practical usage and offers up to date
material for the use of the latest GRASS developments at the time of
writing.

The document focuses on the new vector functionalities, network
analysis, database management systems (DBMS) and the new graphical
user interface (GUI). A section about the interaction with Quantum GIS
as graphical user interface is also included.

It is released under GNU/FDL and available from:

Subject: Zoom Error
Message-ID: <MON.12.SEP.2005.095404.0500.STEVEMSPATIALMAPPING.COM>

Georg:

The common idiom, when working with the MapServer CGI, is to have a
hidden "map" input in the form, e.g.

<form name="mapform" method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
  ...
  <input type="hidden" name="map" value="[map]" />
  ...
</form>

Have a look at the MapServer Tutorial, available through the MapServer
website, for several complete examples of what your CGI template file
should contain. Also at the MapServer website is the template reference,
which catalogs and explains the CGI template tags ([map], [mode], [mapext],
[zoom], etc., etc.).

Hope this helps,
-SM

Hi folks,

Recently one customer asked me a hard favor: to sell GIS ideas to the 
president's company!

For me , this is very hard to do, because "presidents" normally knows 
*business* language, not GIS-language
or IT-languages .

What we are trying to do basically is to *sell* the creation of a new 
department inside the company. The company
is the forestry division of a pulp-n-paper brazilian insdustry.

the main goal of this new proposed department is
to create, test and prototype GIS solutions for the forestry day to day 
operations. ( and of course,
my contribution here is help them to do it only using FOSS solutions... 
or as much as possible :-).
so, HOW to do it will not be the problem.

My real problem is: "how to SELL GIS benefits, but NOT using technical 
terms?"

does anybody recommend any links or bibliography?

best regards.

You could use the X() and Y() functions to get the latitude and 
longitude values of your point. If you have a point column "geom" in a 
table "data" the SQL string would be:

SELECT X(geom), Y(geom) FROM data;

Eduardo,

Executives want to know feature and benefits at a high level.

That are the benefits:

increased capacity - do more with less
better planning and time to market with products
   - where do you need to make roads to move logs
   - over what kind of terrain
better inventory assessment and analysis of forests and uses
better awareness of environmental conditions and issues
lower costs - better deployment of resources
improved products - better assessment of tree inventory in the field 
means less waste

Think in terms of what are the business advantages and benefits.

Make a list of the benefits then in a separate section list the features 
of your system and how it will assist them in there objective benefits.

-Steve W.

Hi List!

I'm trying to do a query by attributes with php, but I've got several
problems. I've got some shapes, and I make a query with this code:

$oMap =ms_newMapObj("../data/campuspr.map" );
$mySearchLayer = $oMap->getLayerByName("FCC_P0");
$result =$mySearchLayer->queryByAttributes("FID","104",MS_SINGLE);
$myresultImg = $oMap->drawQuery($result);

In my shape, the field FID is the key field, but it produces the following
error: "Warning: [MapServer Error]: msDBFGetItemIndex(): Item 'FID' not
found".

I tried to do the same with all the field of the table of the shape, but
the error is the same. After a week trying it, now I haven't got any idea
abaut do it. Could anybody help me?

Thanks and regards to all.

Juan,

Is the case of the field name correct, ie. FID vs. fid?
Can you do something like 'dbfdump -info
<name_of_data_for_layer_FCC_P0>.dbf' to see what the field names look like?

Subject: Mapscript CGI/WMS Server call discrepancies
Message-ID: <MON.12.SEP.2005.152941.0500.AQUINEYREFRACTIONS.NET>

Hello,

I've noticed a discrepancy between calls I'm making to our mapserver
instance using WMS server calls and mapscript CGI calls.

The two calls I'm making are below:

WMS Server call:

http://turtle/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/Refractions/BMGS/CWB/Web/WMS/SMT.map&request=getcapabilities&service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&layers=SingleLineRiversCanalsMin&BBOX=1186497,398241,1190659,401758

Mapscript CGI call:

http://turtle/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/Refractions/BMGS/CWB/Web/WMS/SMT.map&MODE=MAP&LAYER=SingleLineRiversCanalsMin&MINX=1186497&MINY=398241&MAXX=1190659&MAXY=401758

In both cases, I am requesting the same bounding box, and the same layer.
However, the CGI call includes a fork at the bottom of the right-most
segment, and is missing a portion of the segment at the top, when compared
to the WMS server call.

Due to the nature of the application I am designing, different layers need
to be combined using each of these techniques, and this will not work
correctly with this discrepancy.

I've looked through the mapscript cgi reference, but have not found anything
that might suggest this kind of behaviour.  Has anyone else had experience
with this, or an idea why this might be occurring?

Cheers,

Seems like the IMAGE tag of symbols must be an absolute path or you must
put the images in the same directory as the mapfile.

Is there anyway around this? I'm not seeing anything in the docs.
Ideally I'd like to set a path either in my symbolset file or my
mapfile.

Adam,

WMS requests will by default return non-square pixels if requested
while "old style" cgi requests will grow the bbox in one direction or the
other if needed in order to ensure square pixels.  You don't select 
explicit sizes in the requests above so I don't know if there is an 
aspect ratio issue or not, but it seems like the most likely cause. 

Best regards,

Message-ID: <MON.12.SEP.2005.182505.0400.BILLBINKO.NET>

For a bit more GIS-specific answer, I have used the following explanation 
to convince a director here of the value of GIS.  He is fairly 
non-technical, so it did take a few attempts, but now it's great to see 
him regurgitate it :)

Most managers understand the value of a relational database, even if they 
don't know how they work.  They understand that you can link information 
in this table with information in that table if they have a common ID and 
that you can create summaries by State/Province, or by Product Group.

Within that context, explain that GIS adds the ability to link information
based on location.  GIS gives you the ability to summarize based on new
concepts like "near this office" or "within 3 miles of a Redwood stand".

The easiest GIS app to explain (for me) has been PostGIS: they understand 
what a database is, and they are willing to accept the concept of "a 
description of the location or shape is stored as a field."  You add the 
basic operators like "intersects" "within" and "distance" and you'll see 
an amazing response.

Every time I've explained this to a business person, I've stayed with it 
until they said something like, "Hey!  That means I could....[find all of 
the homes on circular lakes that are good for waterskiing or some such 
nonsense]".  They rapidly figure out ways to use the concept once you 
present the benefits.

Open Source (in this case) is a fairly easy sell.  The closed-source 
solutions are very pricey, and if you stick to a web-based presentation 
layer, there is no need to distribute your modifications outside your 
organization.  That means there's no issues with GPL problems that some 
companies have.  Of course, you should tell them that you plan to push 
back fixes and improvements that you find, but usually, proprietary 
information in GIS is in the data, not the code.

I hope this helps

Bill

Message-ID: <MON.12.SEP.2005.165217.0600.BFRASERGEOANALYTIC.COM>

WFS Gurus,

  I thought I would try mapserver as a WFS server.  The XML it (v4.6.1)
spits out when doing REQUEST=getcapabilities generates parse errors in the
Cadcorp SIS Map Browser (and the XML validator, CookTop).  Specifically:
<SFE_XMLSCHEMA/> and <GML3/> are flagged as invalid elements.  I haven't
used the new "outputFormat=GML3" option, so I assume it should be generating
GML2.

  Are these parse errors normal?  Is there some switch in the map file I
need to throw?

The XML details:
        :
    <DescribeFeatureType>
      <SchemaDescriptionLanguage>
        <XMLSCHEMA/>
        <SFE_XMLSCHEMA/>
      </SchemaDescriptionLanguage>
        :
    <GetFeature>
      <ResultFormat>
        <GML2/>
        <GML3/>
      </ResultFormat>

Adam, 

I believe you can add the line:

  CONFIG "MS_NONSQUARE" "YES"

in the map section to enable non-square pixel support in traditional mapserver.
You likely need proper coordinate system support on all the layers though, as 
this will force processing through the reprojection interface (don't ask why!).

Funny you mention this.  I put a call in to the WFS editor today asking
just this.  What I'm guessing will be needed is a MapServer-specific XML
Schema with definition of custom WFS formats, then have these ref'd in
the Capabilities XML.

At any rate, stay tuned.  I'll post a bug for this shortly.

Use the proprietary software's GIS news and articles to help make your 
sale. Use the stories of the success of GIS, just don't state the 
specific software used during your pitch

Some potential sources for information:
http://www.esri.com/news/arcnews/arcnews.html
http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/index.html
http://spatialnews.geocomm.com/
http://www.directionsmag.com/
http://www.mapinfo.com/registration/tier1/Registration.jsp

I'm sure there are many others; check industry and forestry newsletters. 
Just remember to use anything you find as examples, such as "doubled 
production of farmed pulp timber in five years". DON'T cite any specific 
software.
Good luck!

I am having problems using the virtual layer feature. Specifically the 
error says it can't find the data file (or unsupported).
I am running on a IIS5 server (ok, WinXPsp2). I have configured the ODBC 
with a System DNS, and OGRinfo is able to find it.
I have tried placing the file in different locations (and changing the 
ODBC pointer), such as with my other data, with the map file, and in a 
folder with no other files or folders. I have tried specifying the path 
in the SrcLayer, which actually makes it fail faster.
So, any ideas what I am doing wrong ?

Could this be a bug?? Could there be a problem with the way ms4w is set up 
on our server (although we did nothing different this time...)? Is there a 
copy of this same sample application available through the MapServer website 
so that I could test the same application on a different server (if so, I 
haven't been able to find it)? This is a problem I just haven't made any 
headway on and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

No unfortunately not.

There is something in the Filter syntax for this (called propertyname instead of items), but Mapserver does not support that part.

That looks good, but I was wondering if it is possible
to do something like :

/cgi-bin/mapserv?/&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getFeature&typename=poi&items=name,id,x_coord,y_coord

Thanks,

Subject: PIXMAP Symbol display problem
Message-ID: <TUE.13.SEP.2005.005044.0700.MANNINSIDEYAHOO.COM>

Dear all !
 
I am trying to display different symbols for different types of locations, represented by point features... such as Schools, Police Stations, Clinics ....etc
 
All the symbols that I am planning to use are in PNG format... and the symblos.sym file code looks like below

Symbol
Name 'square'
Type VECTOR
Filled TRUE
Points
0 1
0 0
1 0
1 1
0 1
END
END 

SYMBOL 
NAME 'police'
TYPE PIXMAP
IMAGE 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\als\SS\police.png'
END
END

SYMBOL 
NAME "ayudhya"
TYPE PIXMAP
IMAGE 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\als\ss\ayudhya.png'
END
END

SYMBOL 
NAME "bangkok"
TYPE PIXMAP
IMAGE 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\als\ss\bangkok.png'
END
END

SYMBOL 
NAME "clinic"
TYPE PIXMAP
IMAGE 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\als\ss\clinic.png'
END
END
:
:

But I could display only the first PIXMAP symbol in the file... if I try to use other symbols by specifying its name I get following error...

msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined overlay symbol "office" in class 0, style 0 of layer community. 
msAddImageSymbol(): Unable to access file. Error opening image file C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/als/office. 

But if I use its number eg the symbol clinic is at 5th position... then in the MAP file the SYMBOL parameter of CLASS object will have value 5 
No error is thrown but it will not display any symbol as well...

Can Anybody HELP me please...

Thanks in Advance...

Bye for now
Mann

Hi

I've been building mapserver with a properly installed vc6sp6 since a week or two

-oracle92
-libcurl 7.10.7 7.13.2 7.14.0
-gdal 1.2.5 1.2.6 1.3.0 (with / without oraclesupport)
-mapserver 4.4.1 4.6 and CVS (wfs server/client support)


In different combinations

There was not a mapserver that did not crash on a WFS request for Oracle.

Would Howard Butler want to run his oracle92 build again with the newest releases and see if it works for me?

Hi list,

I am running into an issue using Mapscript 4.7 from a few weeks back.

PostGIS layers work fine for map display and query, but as soon as I try to highlight a feature using FILTERITEM and FILTER I get the following error (so it seems the filteritem is not used when building the WHERE clause, the column exists in the database and has the right case):

I want to make the size of a line in pendency of metadata in the column

So can I write it like this? (with   SIZE  'Belfzgiv1' ) or e.g. SIZE
'Belfzgiv1/100'


    STATUS    DEFAULT

       SIZE          'Belfzgiv1'
     END

Or does anyone have an other idea?

Follow-up on this.

It seems that layer->filter.string only contains the FILTER value and not the whole expression to be used in the where clause.

sprintf(query_string_0_6, "DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT %s from %s WHERE (%s) and (%s && setSRID( %s,%s) )", columns_wanted, data_source, layer->filter.string, geom_column, box3d, user_srid);

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Hi Huub,
    I saw a little problem with your layer definition, using the layer 
definition that you sent in previously e-mail (08/24/2005) you defined 
the FILTER and FILTERITEM parameter.
    The Mapfile reference tells that the FILTERITEM parameter is only 
for shapefiles/OGR. The FILTER parameter can be defined for Oracle 
Spatial, I already saw a problem with FILTER parameter and WFS requests 
(Oracle Spatial), but I didn't find the core of the problem yet.
    Using you layer definition that you sent before you can solve this 
problem when you need to redefine your DATA parameter, as:
        "GEOMETRIE FROM (SELECT GEOMETRIE, ID FROM KBK.KBK_gebouw WHERE 
ID = 623898) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 90112" or
        "GEOMETRIE FROM (SELECT GEOMETRIE, ID FROM KBK.KBK_gebouw WHERE 
ID = 623898) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 90112 NONE"
     Just to test and confirm the problem, can you sent the WFS request 
that generate the error?
     Thanks.

If you drop your FILTERITEM and use just FILTER "identbv = 20050049"  
that will work...

Thanks Paul, this is exactly what Fernando mentioned in his previous e-mail about Mapserver WFS.

It does make building applications more difficult ..... having different strategies for local and db datastores ..... but anyway there is a way.

Subject: RPF (CADRG) Support
Message-ID: <TUE.13.SEP.2005.093800.0500.MREVELLEINTEGRITYAPPS.COM>

Hi,

Is there any support in MapServer, or a related project, for managing RPF (CADRG) files from a TOC
file?  The purpose is to have a class that can provide coverage information for available RPF maps as
well as return an image chip of map data given a geographic bounding box.  I've just started working
on a class to do this and wanted to make sure I wasn't duplicating effort.

Thanks for the help,
Matt

Subject: Use a join for visualizing external information in mapfile
Message-ID: <TUE.13.SEP.2005.170916.0200.HILBERT.DAVELAARWUR.NL>

Hi list,
 
I want to visualize information stored in a DBF in my mapfile. The shapefile I am using has a code for each polygon which corresponds to a row in that DBF-file. Now I know how to physically join both so a column is added to the shapefile which a use in a expression to visualize the information. 
 
But a better solution for my situation that the information stays in the DBF-file, because this is the file thats updated all the time. I looked at the join-object, but that raises the question whether it is possible to define a join in my mapfile, and then use this join to visualize information from an external DBF-file?
 
So if have a polygon with code A1, and in the DBF is a code A1 together with a string 'Blue'. Is it possible then to say in the mapfile that 'Blue' has to be visualized with the color blue using an expression? And another thats defined as 'Green'. So when the external DBF-file is updated, and perhaps the color for code A1 changes to 'Green' then the visualization is also immediately updated using the link defined by the join?
 
Kind regards,
Hilbert Davelaar

Message-ID: <TUE.13.SEP.2005.112737.0400.ASSEFADMSOLUTIONS.CA>

Jennifer,

  I did reproduce the bug earlier last week but was not sure how to 
adress it. There are a couple of issues related to mapserver as well as 
to chameleon.

  Here is what essentially happens :

    - You open a context and apply an SLD with an external graphic
    - a temprary file representing your symbol is created in the tmp 
directorry (using the setting of the imagepath defined in the map file)
    - a reference to this symbol is written inside the map file as an 
inline symbol
    - chamelon saves a temporary map file
    - chamelon reloads the map file for drawing


   Here is what the temprorary map file looks like in reagrds to this :

   ...
    SYMBOL
     NAME "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/11262924543876-1.gif"
     TYPE PIXMAP
     TRANSPARENT 0
    END


   LAYER
      ....
      NAME "Bluff_Profile"
      ...
      METATADA
       ....
       "wms_sld_body"	"auto"
       ....
      END

      CLASS
       METADATA
       END
       STYLE
         ANGLE 360
           COLOR 0 0 0
         SIZE 10
         SYMBOL "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/11262924543876-1.gif"
       END
     END



   The first problem is a mapserver issue descibed in bug (1467) 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1467 . This issue is 
easily fixable, the symbol reference in the map file needs to have the 
image element saved. So It would become something like this :

   SYMBOL
     NAME "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/11262924543876-1.gif"
     TYPE PIXMAP
     IMAGE "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/11262924543876-1.gif"
     TRANSPARENT 0
   END

  Correcting this eliminates the error that you will get, But It would 
not the solve your problem entirly.  So here is the 2nd issue :

   - since chemelon uses temprary map file, the way things work when an 
sld is applied (I am not sure exactly when this is set) is that there is 
a metadata "wms_sld_body" "auto" which is set on the layer. That 
indicates that the next time a redraw is done on this layer, mapserver 
will build an SLD on the fly based on the classes found in the layer and 
send this sld with the getmap request.

  The problem here is how to build the the URL for the external graphic 
in the sld (built on the fly). The logic as describe in the sld docs is 
to use a metadata called WMS_SLD_SYMBOL_URL and concatenates the name of 
the symbol.  When this logic does not work (because either the metadata 
is not set  or the concatenation does not provide a valid URL), the 
symbol is not applied.

  I really do not know at this point how to adress so that things can 
work most of the time.

   I hope my explantion make sense. I have keep both issues decribed in 
bug 1467.

Later,

Hi Hilbert,

You can not do thematic mapping as you have described using shapefiles 
and DBF files. You can do just this if you load the polygons and DBF 
records into PostGIS. It works very well. The JOIN object described in 
the mapfile reference only works on queries.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to do query on my maps, I am neither getting erros nor my
query results, I tried queryByShape, queryByRectangle, queryByPoint
and then queryByAttribute..... none of them worked,

here is my code for query by attribute:

if($_REQUEST['qry'])
              {
                 $layerObj = $map->getLayer(0);
                 echo $layerObj->name;
                   $layerObj->open();
               /*  $shp1=ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
                 if($shp1=$layerObj->getShape(1,4))
                    echo $shp1->index;
                    else echo "sorry";  */
                $layerObj->queryByAttributes('pop_1990','[pop_1990]' >
1000, MS_MULTIPLE);
                $layerObj->getItems();
                echo $layerObj->getNumResults();
                 $layerObj->close();
              }

the output tht i get is: counties0 that means $layerObj is perfect and
its name is counties
0 means it did return 0 results..... which is wrong.

It gave the same answer when i tried query by Shape here is the code..
$layerObj->open();
$shapeObj = $layerObj->getShape(-1, 10);
$st = $layerObj->queryByShape($shapeObj);

In your mapfile, do you have a TEMPLATE set for each layer that you want
to query?
Something like 

	TEMPLATE "no template" 

will work.

Hello:
I?m a Windows user who wants to move to the Linux world. I want to install
linux in a box in order to use it in mapserver applications development,
but I know there?s a lot of versions of Linux around (Debian, Fedora,
SUSE, etc)
By checking this list I?ve seen most popular flavors would be Debian and
Fedora, but I want to know from your experience which one do you recommend
to use as server for Mapserver applications.
By the way, I already have SUSE 9.2 installation CDs, so this would be my
first choice, but I want to hear from you before to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sergio,
    Here in G10 we already used many releases in these couple years. We 
already used Red Hat 7, 8 and 9. Conectiva 9 and 10. SuSe 9.2 and 9.3. 
Slackware 9 and 10.
    For all releases above we used with Mapserver+Oracle 
Spatial+PostGis+W*S without problems. In my desktop, until the end of 
the last year, I used Slackware, I believe that it's the best release if 
you want to do everything by scratch. Now I'm using Suse 9.3 without 
problems, very stable and secure.
    I believe that it's very difficult to appoint the best release. I 
prefer to compile everything by myself 
(gd+gdal+PostgreSQL+OGR+Mapserver.....), so for me the best releases: 
SuSe and Slackware. All the releases that you post in your e-mail can be 
used for Mapserver, but my vote is for SuSe.
    Thanks.

For desktop Linux, I'd second Fernando's recommendation of SUSE (also check
out openSUSE, http://www.opensuse.org, this is SUSE's "Fedora Core").

Other recommendations are Red Hat/Fedora Core and Ubuntu/Kubuntu.

Cheers,

i recommend checking out the FGS installer 
(http://www.maptools.org/fgs/) and its supported linux flavours, in case 
you are looking for an easy MapServer install on linux.

I'm a bit biased, perhaps, but I think HostGIS Linux
is the best. It's a Linux distro with MapServer and
all the fixin's already installed and running.
http://www.hostgis.com/

Great for beginners, or for anybody who doesn't want
to spend 7 hours installing all those dependencies.

Hi Mike,
I'm actually using OSSIM to load in the raster data, but GDAL would work as well.  

The code I'm writing is focused on creating a chip of map imagery given a request for a particular geographic area.

Ex:
rpfManager.setMapSources(list_of_TOC_files)
mapImage = rpfManager.getImageChip(ulLatLon, lrLatLon)

I'm just wondering if MapServer or one of the related projects has a similar RPF manager.

Take care,
Matt

Matt,

GDAL does have support for individual NITF files but does not
directly support RPF TOC files to organize them into bigger
datasets.  The OGDI library can be used through GDAL to
use a whole RPF coverage as a single raster dataset but
that can be a bit tricky.

One of these days I would love to build a mechanism so that
an OSSIM image processing chain can be used as a GDAL
input.  I think that exists already to some degree in the OSSIM/GDAL
plugin but I don't think it is setup in a form that is easy to use.

Best regards,

Subject: Perl Mapscript Problem
Message-ID: <TUE.13.SEP.2005.210941.0400.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

Hi All,

I had dynamic symbol manipulation working on MS 4.01 but can not get it 
to work on 4.4.1 or 4.6.1. In the following code snippets every think 
works with the default symbol that is defined in symbolset file, but the 
code does not let me change the imagepath on the fly.

Also, I can not get the label on the umarker layer to show unless I 
specify     LABELCACHE FALSE    and umarker layer is the last in the 
mapfile.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

-Steve W.


 From the mapscript:

     my $lay = $mapObj->getLayerByName('umarker');
     if ($lay) {
         $lay->{status} = 1;
         my $class = $lay->getClass(0);
         my $pnt = new mapscript::pointObj();
         my @marks = split(/;/, $mark);
         foreach my $x (@marks) {
             my ($y, $x, $txt, $sym) = split(/[\s,]/, $x);
             if ($sym && -r "$symbol_path/$sym") {
                 my $style = $class->getStyle(0);
                 $style->{symbolname} = "$symbol_path/$sym";
             }
             $pnt->{x} = $x;
             $pnt->{y} = $y;
             $pnt->draw($mapObj, $lay, $imgObj, 0, $txt);
         }
     }

Or alternately from mapscript:

Guillaume,

I'm not sure why this is happening, but you can manually
edit Makefile and add "-ldl" at the end of the SUP_LIBS
macro declaration to fix it up.

Subject: FILTER working on PostGIS layers?

Frankly, I did not even know there was a FILTERITEM until just now.
It just implies another conditional in mappostgis.c to check for  
FILTERITEM and write the SQL automatically using the contents of  
FILTER instead of just using FILTER verbatim.  Too many ways to do  
the same thing!

I'll second that for Slackware...IMHO, it is the most "complete/correct" 
distro when it comes to library compatibilities, version etc...

hi list,

two questions:

A. I have a map file with 3 layers for 3 zoom-grades (more details). (only
one is shown at one time)

But all three layers are shown in legend (same style).

How can I make it shown only once in legend?

B. I have a satellite-picture too. The headline is shown in the legend too.
How can I turn the legend entry of for this?

Best regards,
Leopold

Subject: Compile with Oracle support
Message-ID: <WED.14.SEP.2005.094355.0200.BEREND.VELDKAMPARIS.NL>

Hello list,

I have some problems compiling MapServer (4.6.1 on Linux) with support 
for Oracle. I have installed Oracle Instant Client 10g in the directory 
suggested by Oracle: /usr/lib/oracle/10g/client. The header files are 
located in /usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/sdk/include.

Here's what I did:

export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/sdk/include

./configure --with-proj --without-pdf --with-gd=/usr --with-freetype 
--with-gdal --with-ogr --with-php=../php-4.3.11 --with-postgis 
--with-geos --with-wfs --with-wfsclient --with-wcs --with-wms 
--with-wmsclient --with-oraclespatial=/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client

make

After some time I get this error:
gcc -c -O2 -fPIC -Wall   -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA  -DNEED_STRLCAT 
-DUSE_EPPL -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_WMS_SVR -DUSE_WMS_LYR -DUSE_WFS_SVR 
-DUSE_WFS_LYR -DUSE_WCS_SVR  -DUSE_ORACLESPATIAL   -DUSE_GD_GIF 
-DUSE_GD_PNG -DUSE_GD_JPEG -DUSE_GD_WBMP -DUSE_GD_FT 
-DGD_HAS_GDIMAGEGIFPTR -DGD_HAS_GETBITMAPFONTS    -DUSE_OGR -DUSE_GDAL 
-DUSE_GEOS -DUSE_ICONV    -DUSE_POSTGIS    -DUSE_ZLIB -I/usr/include 
     -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/pgsql/include 
-I/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/rdbms/demo 
-I/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/rdbms/public -I/usr/local/include 
maporaclespatial.c -o maporaclespatial.o
maporaclespatial.c:129:17: oci.h: No such file or directory

It seems that the CPPFLAGS environment variable is not used at all, and 
instead two subdirectories (rdbms/demo and rdbms/public) of ORACLE_HOME 
are used. Both directories are non-existant.

Besides moving the Oracle installation, is there anything else I can do?

Thanks, Berend

Message-ID: <WED.14.SEP.2005.101536.0200.BENSYNCERAITSOLUTIONS.NL>

?			SIZEITEM is at the STYLE level not at the CLASS level.

So:

  CLASS
       NAME "Stra?e unter 7614 KFZ/Tag"
       EXPRESSION    "<7614"
          STYLE
             COLOR         255 227 231
             SIZEITEM 	 'Belfzgiv1'
             SYMBOL "circle"
        END
     END

I don't think arithmetic operations are allowed, try preprocessing your data.

Are arithmetic operations like >, <, (xy/1000), and, or,... allowed?

hi list,

I want to make the size of a line in pendency of metadata in the column
'Belfzgiv1'.

So can I write it like this? (with   SIZE  'Belfzgiv1' ) or e.g. SIZE
'Belfzgiv1/100'


    STATUS    DEFAULT

Since no one else is advocating Debian here, I thought I would.

I've tried lots of distros in the past, mostly Red Had, Fedora SuSe and 
Mandrake. All of them have unsatisfactory packaging programs, I just didn't 
find rpm to be very good. With Debian if I need to install any program all I 
have to do is type 'apt-get install program', and hey presto it's done. 
Beautiful. No manually downloading other programs it depends on, that's all 
done for you. Nothing to worry about at all. And it is very stable.

Debian is a little bit tricky for the beginner, but its definitely worth 
learning.

And I'll put my vote in for Ubuntu.  All the wonders of Debian but NOT
tricky for the beginner.  I run Debian on my server and Ubuntu on my
lappy.  Ubuntu's sooooo nice.

Well, looks like we have yet another flavor war starting.  :)

Hello, list.

I'm trying to make a QueryByAttributes with PHP. With the following code,
it works fine. The problem is that I've got my shapes in the same folder
of my Map file. But I need to do the same with shapes in a SDE server.
When I make the necessary changes in the map file to do this, it doesn't
work. It shows this error message: "[MapServer Error]: msSDELayerNextShape
(): SE_stream_fetch(): Underlying DBMS error. (-51)". After a lot of
tries, I haven't got any idea about do it.

Can anybody help me? or does anybody do anything like this? Help me please.

Thanks a lot and best regards.

Hello Ludovic,

Thanks, this helped a lot. I manually edited Makefile to include:

ORACLESPATIAL_LIB=-L/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client -lclntsh
ORACLESPATIAL_INC=-I/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/sdk/include

And mapscript/php3/Makefile:

MS_INC =    -I/usr/src/mapserver-4.6.1 
-I/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/sdk/include -I/usr/local/pgsql/include 
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include     -I/usr/include
MS_LIBS =   $(RUNPATHS) -L/usr/src/mapserver-4.6.1 -lmap  -L/usr/lib 
-lcurl -L/usr/kerberos/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lcom_err

-lgeos    -lproj  -L/usr/lib -lgd -ljpeg -lfreetype -lpng -lz   -lc -lz 
   -lm -lstdc++ $(MS_STATIC)


Now both the mapserv executable and php_mapscript.so compile fine. I 
still need to test, so I might be back soon. Thanks for now.

Hi All,

I've found in http://dl.maptools.org/dl/mapserver_Changelog.txt a reference to ANGLEITEM for points (see 2005-08-05 14:45  sdlime). This is a good new because a rotation management for point symbols is strongly recommended in a map renderer.

I've just compiled mapserver 4.6.1 and I tried to create a layer with this attribute, but I get a parse error.

Anybody knows if this attribute i supported?

This is my layer definition:

LAYER
 NAME "Segnali"
 TYPE POINT

 CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
 CONNECTION "ti_segnali/avs at franz"
 DATA "GEOM FROM (SELECT a.fid, g.orientation, a.geom FROM ic_segnali a, ic_segnali_geo g WHERE a.fid=g.fid) USING UNIQUE fid NONE" 
 STATUS DEFAULT
 ANGLEITEM "orientation" 
 
 CLASS 
  NAME 'segnale'
  SYMBOL 'triangle'
  COLOR 0 255 0
  OUTLINECOLOR 183 183 183
  TEMPLATE "templates/default.html" 
 END 
END 

Best regards

Hi, Shashi.

Have you tried to change
$layerObj->queryByAttributes('pop_1990','[pop_1990]' >
1000, MS_MULTIPLE);
for
$layerObj->queryByAttributes('pop_1990','[pop_1990]' >
'1000', MS_MULTIPLE);?

I think that it'll work.

Hi Berend,
   To compile Mapserver with Oracle Spatial support you need the Oracle 
Call Interfaces (OCI) library installed in the system. You can install 
it from the client cd or server cd.
   The flag --with-oraclespatial need to appoint for ORACLE_HOME.
   Thanks.

I made a mistake
DATA "geom  select geom, id from bommen ) using unique id srid 90112"
should be
DATA "geom from ( select geom, id from bommen ) using unique id srid 90112"

This syntax works in 10g for wfs

Next monday 9.2 wil be tested.

I thought I'd mention Gentoo (www.gentoo.org)...

As a Linux newbie it's probably not the distribution you want to start
off with, but I find it great for application development; it's a
source based distribution with a highly configurable package manager
(portage) which lets you tweak packages to your heart's content. If a
package doesn't exist for Gentoo then it's not too difficult to create
a shell script based file (an ebuild) describing how portage should
install the package.

I find a big benefit of having portage do your ./configure && make
install is that when you uninstall/upgrade/rebuild you won't find any
old files lying around on your system confusing things!

There are plenty of interesting and useful ebuilds related to the GIS
field making their way into the official package tree. Mapserver
itself isn't officially there yet but I use a modified ebuild from
<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69417>.

I'm currently running the latest versions of the complex web of
dependencies that mapserver (4.6.1) relies on. Thanks to portage
changing a configure-time option in one of these dependencies is a
simple matter (e.g. enabling GEOS support in GDAL). 

It works for me; perhaps it could work for you. Anyway, another
distribution and choice to consider in the heterogenous world that is
GNU/Linux!

Enjoy your deliberations,

Homme Zwaagstra.

yes, but ANGLEITEM should be specified in a STYLE object

Hi Jeff,

I've also made a test with this definition:

LAYER
 NAME "Segnali"
 TYPE POINT

 CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
 CONNECTION "ti_segnali/avs at franz"
 DATA "GEOM FROM (SELECT a.fid, g.orientation, a.geom FROM ic_segnali a, 
ic_view_segnali_geo  g WHERE a.gid=g.gid) USING UNIQUE fid NONE"
 STATUS DEFAULT

 CLASS
  NAME 'segnale'
  STYLE
   SYMBOL 'triangle'
   ANGLEITEM "orientation"
   SIZE 10
   COLOR 255 0 0
  END
  TEMPLATE "templates/default.html"
 END
END

In this case I have not a parse error, but all triangles are not rotated. It 
seems that this attribute is ignored.

Regards

Francesco

Bart is correct that arithmetic ops are not allowed but relational ops 
are. You can do comparisions like:

EXPRESSION ([Belfzgiv1] < 7614)

Sorry Francesco, I just tested again and it doesn't work for me either. 
  I remember adding it to the documentation, for this bug 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=815.  I just now got 
ANGLEITEM to work with a hatched symbol again, but for a regular point 
symbol it does not work.  I should update the doc to say that it is only 
for hatched symbols...maybe someone else has info on this?

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for answer.

I add only a brief note to mail-list to say that rotating symbol is 
absolutely mandatory for several subjects.

For instance a "T" valve (symbol is a "T") if not rotated along the pipe is 
not readable in many cases.
Or street vertical signal if not rotated makes the map much more difficult 
to read.

For my experience (about 10 years in Italy and Switzerland), many users does 
not want gis engine without rotation capabilities.
Mapserver is a very good product, but without point rotation it is 
unfortunatelly too much limited for many subjects.

Best regards

Francesco Sozzi

Hi list,
 I'm playing with the outputformat in the ms4w package. Pdf export is 
working well but with the gtiff I'm getting problems. All the gtiff that I'm 
getting in my own application and in the tmp directory are not possible to 
display. Just with the tatukgis viewer or in the browsers using a quick time 
pluging. Is not possible to see the image in a common web browser? My idea 
is to get the image, save it and then exporting to another gis application.
 My mapfile lines are:
  
OUTPUTFORMAT

NAME GTiff

DRIVER "GDAL/GTiff"

MIMETYPE "image/tiff"

IMAGEMODE RGB

EXTENSION "tiff" 

END
Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am using MapServer 4.6 for windows.
I am performing the following DWidth request to the layer cities of my 
map object.

        </gml:Point>
        <Distance units='m'>1000</Distance>
    </DWithin>
</Filter>


I also perform another request for the layer mjroads.

I would like to perform both requests at the same time but,
when I do "TYPENAME=cities,mjroads" I am only obtaining the results 
referent to the cities layer.
Is it illegal to use two layers in this type of requests?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.
Best regards.

Subject: display layers' with status ON only
Message-ID: <WED.14.SEP.2005.163401.0100.CRAZYGECKOGMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I find this whole thing really confusing. For each layer there's the status 
attribute, either ON, OFF or DEFAULT. DEFAULT is on all the time, OFF should 
be off, ON should be on. But when I use mapserver on my mapfile without the 
layer= or layers=, only defaults come up. I'd really want the ONs to come up 
to. I tried layers=all, but this turned everything on.

Is there simple way of specifying all layers where layer status=ON to be 
displayed? In CGI parameters. Something in the vein of layers=all.

I'm doing this to simply my code, which at the moment has many layer=layer1& 
etc.

Cheers,
Xin

Lluis, 

Are the produced GeoTIFF files readable with GDAL?  (ie. gdalinfo). 

If so, but not readable by other applications the reason is likely
that GDAL produces TIFF files with the bands separated
(planar config separate) instead of pixel interleaved (planar
config contiguous).  Try adding:

  FORMATOPTION "INTERLEAVE=PIXEL" 

in your OUTPUTFORMAT declaration.  This should make the
result compatible with less capable TIFF viewers. 

If that is not the problem, I would suggest providing an example
of a file that is unreadable and I could review it to see what might
be the problem. 

Best regards,

Hi Frank,
 My gtiff file is readable by gdalinfo, and is still working in mozilla and 
ie throught the quicktime pluging but not with other programs even with 
interleave=pixel line . If I export to autocad, I'm getting the image with 
very low quality, almost none.
 I don't understand why geotiff image are not readable even for the windows 
explorer. Should I need a plugin for windows?
 I attach my geotiff file.
 Thanks

Hi There,

  Normally the unit should be parsed from the filter and set as the 
value of the toleranceunits and your distance should be used to update 
the tolerance of the layer.

  The only thing that might be missing (assuming that all filter 
encoding is parsed properly) is that you should set the units of your 
map file to  degrees (at the map level set UNITS "dd").  If that does 
not solve your issue please sned me a simple map file/data/and the 
filter encoding and I will test it here.

Later,

Lluis, 

I have reviewed the file you sent, and confirmed that it is still planar
configuration separate.  If I do:

 gdal_translate -co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL in.tif out.tif

It becomes previewable in windows explorer. 

Please review that you spelled everything correctly in your
outputformat declaration, that it is actually getting used and so forth.

 Hey there, 
I have a map file that uses an OGR connection to a GML file. It displays
fine using jpeg and single SWF output formats. However once I switch to the
multiple layer SWF format, I get nothing being displayed. 

Also, I was hoping to use the swf "Dump Attributes", but I'm not sure
exactly how to correctly map my gml to the "Result_Fields" and
"SwfDumpAttributes" portions of my mapfile.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Subject: DBF to Shape OGR JOIN, PHP crashes
Message-ID: <WED.14.SEP.2005.175925.0400.CHRISTHORNESYMPATICO.CA>

Hello list,
I am trying to solve an OGR Connection to JOIN a shape file to a DBF 
problem. I cannot figure out weather it is my layer definition or 
something else.

I HAVE been able to get a join work with a different data set, but it 
seems there are some problems with the layer(data) I wish to display. 
Every time I try the Join. My CPU goes to %100 do to PHP.exe failing to 
close. I have to reboot my windows machine.

Other than size of data set (meaning bigger) I cannot see any difference 
with my layer definition.

The following layer works:
   LAYER
     STATUS ON
     TYPE POLYGON
     CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
     CONNECTION "D:/maps/data/archived/nyc/nyc/taxlots2/MN_BBL.shp"
     CLASS
       STYLE
         COLOR -1 -1 -1
         OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 0
       END
     END
   END

These Joins do not:

CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
DATA "SELECT test2.FARGAP FROM MN_BBL LEFT JOIN 
'D:/maps/data/archived/nyc/nyc/dbf_joins/test2.dbf'.test2 ON 
MN_BBL.BBL=test2.BBL"
CONNECTION "D:/maps/data/archived/nyc/nyc/taxlots2/MN_BBL.shp"
CLASSITEM "test2.FARGAP"

CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
DATA "SELECT test2.FARGAP FROM MN_BBL LEFT JOIN 
'D:/maps/data/archived/nyc/nyc/dbf_joins/test2.dbf'.test2 ON 
MN_BBL.BBL=test2.BBL"
CONNECTION "D:/maps/data/archived/nyc/nyc/taxlots2"
CLASSITEM "test2.FARGAP"

Are there limitation to the OGR join that I am not aware off?

Chris

Chris,

Does the .dbf file have an OGR style index on the the BBL field?  If
not, the join will be exceedingly slow for any non-trivial dataset. 
Have you tried the join from the ogrinfo commandline to isolate it from
MapServer related issues?   If you think you have proper attribute
indexes, and if things are still slow you can package up an example
I can test with ogrinfo and I will look at it. 

Best regards,

Subject: Compiling mapserver with SLD support
Message-ID: <WED.14.SEP.2005.151937.0700.BANDERSREFRACTIONS.NET>

Hi List,

I haven't been able to find instructions for compiling mapserver with 
SLD support.  Does such a document exist?

I am suspicious that the mapserver I recently compiled doesn't have SLD 
support.  After I make getMap requests I expect to see an entry in the 
apache access log where mapserver has requested the SLD file, but 
there's nothing.  Mapserver and the SLD file are both hosted from the 
same apache.

I configured mapserver like this:

./configure --with-proj=/usr/ --with-postgis=yes

Subject: Clean MapServer Files
Message-ID: <WED.14.SEP.2005.141745.0400.ABE.GILLESPIEGMAIL.COM>

Hi everyone,

I have written a small .Net scheduled program to clean up after
MapServer on Windows since I'm not familiar with programming in batch.
 I feel like this is way too bloated for such a simple little task
though.  What I need to do is cleanup all image files that are a
specified age (say a week) and all text files that are a little older
(say a year ... these are some custom user settings).

If there's no one that can help me write this little batch file
out-right, could someone point me to a definitive place for batch
programming.  Something that covers sending arguments to the batch
file, looping through files, stating files, and deleting files.  ...
previous attempts to find an online guide were pretty fruitless and
hence why I wrote the .Net program.

Thanks for the help.
-Abe

Hello all,

I've been experimenting with SLD and have been having trouble getting 
ColorMap to work with raster imagery. My first troubles were in the context 
of a chameleon interface, where only the opacity parameter would be passed 
to the raster layer. 

So, I took the maps out of chameleon, but am getting no response whatsoever 
(neither opacity or color mapping changes). Below are my two GetMap requests 
(one with and one without SLD) and the URL for the SLD file. I would be very 
grateful if someone could tell me whether this is something I'm doing wrong, 
a bug, or whatever. I'm attempting to put together a brief help page for 
visitors to our site about SLD, among other things, and I'm not sure what to 
tell them about raster SLDs yet (since I can't get it to work myself).

Message-ID: <THU.15.SEP.2005.005159.0400.BILLBINKO.NET>

Hi everyone,

I am in the market for a server, and am trying to choose a CPU platform.  
I have seen recently a number of issues coming up with various GIS 
applications (qgis/GDAL/Mapserver/PostGIS) all pointing to spurious 
segfaults when running on AMD 64 platforms.  Also, I've heard rumblings 
from friends that getting any of the linux distros on AMD 64 is somewhat 
troublesome.

I will be doing fairly intensive mapping applications, involving 
Mapserver, Mapscript, GDAL (For aerials), and lots of PostGIS dynamic 
queries against a pretty hefty database.

Since I don't want to pay a Dell/HP premium, I have looked at the 1U
barebones systems on newegg, and basically, there are three options:

1) Dual Opteron 64 - dual core is optional
2) Pentium (4 or D) - Hyperthreading and/or Dual Core is optional

Sun just released some nice 1U Opteron boxes and they look to be  
_VERY_ competitively priced, they start at $795. They run Solaris,  
Linux or Windows.

At work we have 120 Dual Opteron 246 machines. They are using the  
Tyan S2891 board in a Chenbro RM214 case. They have been running at  
100% CPU utilization for three months solid without a single problem.  
We benchmarked the Xeon EMT64 as well and the Opteron was faster and  
ran a _LOT_ cooler (and used less power).

Of course none of this is GIS/Mapserver related, so that doesn't help  
with that part of your question.

Message-ID: <THU.15.SEP.2005.093222.0200.WALRECHTGVERTIS.NL>

Hello List,

 

Currently we are developing an Mapserver web application which demands that
users can change the colors of the generated map (after refreshing the map
of course). We therefore wanted to use variables in the mapfile:

 

...

COLOR  '%color1%'

...

 

But unfortunately this is impossible, or are we overlooking something? If
not, I would like to make a RFC for this, but I haven't figured out how to
do this, is there a procedure/documents to make a Request for change (RFC)?

 

Thanks in advance!

Gerjan

Bart,

To be honest we hadn't looked at this before, looks useful, but at the
moment we do not want to use an extra XML file only to pass a parameter.
(Where do were put the file, etc). Would you also happen to know how to file
a RFC?

Hi Frank,
 Using the gdal_translate I'm getting an error about the gdall12 library. 
I've tried the same operation with the FWtools package and I'm getting a 
valid tiff, so the problem is the ms4w_1.2.1 package and it's why I'm not 
seeing the maps in my mapserver application. The spelling in my mapfile was 
correct, now I need to solve this error in the gdal library in order to get 
geotiff images in my mapserver application.
 Thanks for all

Hello,

I am using MapServer 4.6 for windows.
I am performing the following DWidth request to the layer cities of my 
map object.

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=cities&MAP=../MAPS/tutorial/europe_1.map&Filter= 

<Filter>

       </gml:Point>
       <Distance units='m'>1000</Distance>
   </DWithin>
</Filter>


I also perform another request for the layer mjroads.

I would like to perform both requests at the same time but,
when I do "TYPENAME=cities,mjroads" I am only obtaining the results 
referent to the cities layer.
Is it illegal to use two layers in this type of requests?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.
Best regards.
Miguel

Gerjan,

A simple alternative to SLD would be to append the following to your map 
request :

&map_road_Roads_color=255+255+0

where "road" is the LAYER NAME, "Roads" is the CLASS NAME, and 255+255+0 are 
the RGB values respectively.

just for reference, the mapfile entry would look like:

LAYER
NAME road
TYPE LINE
STATUS OFF
DATA road.shp
CLASS
NAME "Roads"
SYMBOL 0
COLOR 220 0 0
END
END # Layer

Of course this does not have the power of SLD but it gets the job done.

Hi Bill,

We are currently using dual-CPU Opteron 248 boxes with 12GB RAM as our main
production PostGIS database servers running x86_64 Fedora Core 4 without any
problems. Performance is  outstanding.

During initial testing several months ago, some 64-bit issues were found
with PostGIS. However, we were able to provide remote SSH access to
Refractions who quickly sorted out the remaining issues (thanks guys!). So
I'm happy to say that PostGIS 1.0 series plays happily with 64-bit
processors.

If you do consider running a 64-bit platform, I would recommend that you
post to the relevant lists to enquire as to the current level of 64-bit
support, and plan for at least a couple of weeks of testing your application
in case you need to report bugs to the relevant people.

I also concur with Shawn that the power consumption of the Opterons is
considerably less than the Xeon servers (standing behind the Xeons is like
standing next to a hairdryer) which is an important factor in one of our
data centres where the number of servers per rack is not limited by the
total U space, but by total power consumption.


Kind regards,

Mark.

It is not illegal, but you need to provide the filter then 2 times, see the WFS spec for details.

A filter specification describes a set of features to operate upon. The filter is defined as specified in the Filter Encoding Specification [3]. If the FILTER parameter is used, one filter must be specified for each feature type listed in the TYPENAME parameter. Individual filters encoded in the FILTER parameter are enclosed in parentheses "(" and ")".

I use this in HTTP POST mode and it works fine.

Hello,

I am using MapServer 4.6 for windows.
I am performing the following DWidth request to the layer cities of my 
map object.

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WFS&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=cities&MAP=../MAPS/tutorial/europe_1.map&Filter= 

<Filter>
   <DWithin>

       <gml:Point>
           <gml:coordinates>-8.418000,41.539600</gml:coordinates>
       </gml:Point>
       <Distance units='m'>1000</Distance>
   </DWithin>
</Filter>


I also perform another request for the layer mjroads.

I would like to perform both requests at the same time but,
when I do "TYPENAME=cities,mjroads" I am only obtaining the results 
referent to the cities layer.
Is it illegal to use two layers in this type of requests?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.
Best regards.
Miguel

Hi Jeff,
 I upgrade my ms4w, and now the svg is working fine. Trying others 
functionalities of the package, I was trying to get a geotiff image but I'm 
getting an error with the gdal12.dll. The output gtiff is not readable in 
mapserver and even in windows. Using the formatoption INTERLEAVE=PIXEL I'm 
getting the same error, but if I do this format option using the FWtools 
gdal_translate tool I'm getting a correct image.
 At this point I think there are a bug in the ms4w_1.2.1 to output gtiff 
images, is it registred?

What do you mean an "OGR style index"? This maybe my problem. ;)

Subject: Color range & mapscript
Message-ID: <THU.15.SEP.2005.093946.0100.STEVE.HALLMERCATORGEOSYSTEMS.CO.UK>

Hi all,

I remember reading something a while ago about "color ramps" and the mapping of thematic data.  I've found this info in Bugzilla :

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1305

But was wondering if anything further had happened with it?  I'm using the code as it is in 4.6.0, which is working OK, but it'd be really nice to be able to change the COLORRANGE & DATARANGE settings via PHP/MapScript, but I can't see anyway to do it.  I'm happy to upgrade to 4.6.1 or "dev" if need be, and don't mind if it's "experimental" as this is just for a prototype / proof of concept project.

Many thanks,

Steve Hall

If you build mapserver with OGR support, you should normally have an sld 
support enabled. Only flag in the source code is USE_OGR.

Chris, 

The OGR Shapefile driver supports using indexes to accelerate
simple attribute lookups (for unique ids).  To create the corresponding
index do something like:

 ogrinfo abc.shp -sql "create index on abc using abc_id"

This is mentioned briefly near the bottom of the OGR SQL page at:

  http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_sql.html

Note that the indexes need to be dropped and rebuilt if you change
the file.  They aren't maintained on the fly.

Best regards,

Thanks Frank,
I have a few more questions:

1) Do I have to OGR index the shapefile (dbf) with the same id index as 
well? I already have given it a qix.

2) If I wanted to shp tileindex my shape file because the layer could be 
as large as 100 mb. where I would shp2tile the shape and index by using 
tile4ms. How would that work with an CONNECTIONTYPE OGR? AM I, even 
permitted to use TILEINDEX? If no, are there other options?

3) Can I OGR index a group of shape files (with the same attributes) and 
join that group with a DBF group (with the same attributes)?

Thanks
Chris

Bill, 

I don't have direct experience unfortunately, but I have heard a
few complaints about 64bit AMD support as well for GDAL.  If I 
were you and looking for a "safe" bet I would stick with a 32bit
solution. 

If anyone out there has an Opteron system running linux that
they would like to provide me with a testing account on, I would
be interested in building and testing some components (ie 
GDAL, MapServer).

Christopher, 

You need to index the column in the dbf file that you are joining
so that records can be looked up efficiently.  This is an attribute
index and unrelated to the .qix file which is a spatial index.

I don't see how you could treat your dataset as a single layer for
OGR join purposes if you have split it into many tiles. 
 
> 3) Can I OGR index a group of shape files (with the same attributes) and

It is the file you are joining onto your base layers that must be indexed.
So if you are joining a secondary dbf file that is what would need
the index on the column used in the join. 

But I am still not sure how you plan to join *to* a layer which is
split over many shapefile tiles.  At best you would likely need alot
of mapscript magic to make that work though I haven't considered 
the issue carefully.

Subject: One-to-many-join Problem. Bug?
Message-ID: <THU.15.SEP.2005.164851.0200.R.VAN.OOSTERHOUDTGEON.NL>

Hi List

I'm am trying to build a layer using
- tiled shapefiles
  (using TILEINDEX and TILEITEM)
- a one-to-many join.

Unfortunately this does not work.
I get an error message when quering: "Content-type: text/html
msDBFJoinConnect(): Join error. Item PLANIDID not found in layer TestJoin."
However I am absolutely sure the column "PLANIDID" does exist in all the
shapefiles (yes in uppercase).

If I replace the tiled shapefiles for a single shapefile, all is fine.

If I replace the one-to-many for a one-to-one join (including adapting the
query template), all is fine too.

It seems to me that mapserver tries to read the tileindex itself to
establish a join.

Is this a bug, or did I mis something?

Steve,

Perhaps mutating the imagepath has no effect due to caching of symbol 
images. About the labelcache, I would guess that the label is losing 
the battle against other in the map.

This is how I do dynamic symbols

     # create a new symbol
     new_symbol = mapscript.symbolObj('symbol_a', 
'/path/to/symbol_a.png')

     # add a *copy* of the symbol to the map symbolset and get the index
     new_symbol_index = map.symbolset.appendSymbol(new_symbol)

See http://zcologia.com/mapserver/mapscript#symbolobj and 
http://zcologia.com/mapserver/mapscript#symbolsetobj or the same docs 
on the new mapserver site.

The symbolObj also has a method to set symbol imagery directly. See 
http://zcologia.com/mapserver/imagery-howto#images-and-symbols.

Subject: OGR DBF JOINS, Numeric Values now String
Message-ID: <THU.15.SEP.2005.111550.0400.CHRISTHORNESYMPATICO.CA>

Hello again,
I got a OGR Join to work between a Shapefile and DBF. The DBF has much 
fewer records than what is found in the shapefile. The problem that I am 
having is that the CLASSITEM I wish to classify on the JOINED attribute 
which in the dbf is a numeric value with two decimal points. eg. 0.00

All Shapefile features that DO NOT have a successful JOIN contain a 
value 'blank'. ie. EXPRESSION "" This of course is not valid for numeric 
item 'blank' should be 0.00

Which leads into my next observation numerical values that are joined 
seem to be considered string values vs. numerical.

For example

1) DOES NOT WORK
EXPRESSION "10"
DOES WORK
EXPRESSION "10.00" does

1) DOES NOT WORK
EXPRESSION ([test2.FARGAP] eq 20.00)

2) DOES WORK
EXPRESSION ('[test2.FARGAP]' eq '20.00')

Is this a limitation of a DBF OGR JOIN ie. importing all values as 
string, or is there something wrong with my DBF (ie. not created 
properly, defective), or am I missing something in my JOIN CONNECTION?

CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
DATA "SELECT test2.FARGAP FROM MN_BBL LEFT JOIN 
'D:/maps/data/archived/nyc/nyc/dbf_joins/test2.dbf'.test2 ON 
MN_BBL.BBL=test2.BBL"
CONNECTION "D:/maps/data/archived/nyc/nyc/dbf_joins/MN_BBL.shp"
CLASSITEM "test2.FARGAP"

Thanks again,
Chris

Chris, 

In MapServer all attribute values are strings.  In OGR joins any
join that fails results in all the joined fields being NULL in the 
merged feature.  In MapServer's OGR binding NULL fields are
treated as "" whether they are numeric or string.  

I am a bit fuzzy on how MapServer expressions work in some cases
and won't try to address that. 

If you think the OGR join is making numeric fields become strings
after the join I would suggest you check it with "ogrinfo".   If it
shows fields that were reported as numeric in the .dbf file 
being reported as string in the joined file then I would appreciate
your filing a bug on the problem.

Best regards,

Sean,

Thank you for your response. You are probably correct on the labelcache 
issue now that I think about it. While it is the last layer and should 
take priority in the cache, it is being drawn after all the other labels 
in the cache are drawn so the only way to get it on top is to not use 
the cache as it is too late in the process.

I will look at this, but my concern is that we generate a large number 
of symbols (actually numbered dots on the map) and I'm concerned we will 
exceed the hardcoded limit on symbols in map.h

I think that the mapscript API needs to fix the cached image if the 
image file is changed. This is a bug. What good is it to change the 
symbol name if it does not change the symbol also? Would you concur on this?

Thank you for your suggestions, I will see if I can get them to work.

Numbered dots? I have an application that requires numbered symbols: 
highway shields with the highway number. I'm simply using an annotation 
type layer with an unnumbered shield image as a symbol and then using 
the class label to render the highway number over the top. Works 
perfectly. I don't know if this method is something you can use, but it 
would be faster as well as simpler.

Remember that mapscript is basically a mapfile as an object tree. In 
theory, you can freely modify attributes of the objects, like a 
symbol's imagepath. In practice, much of MapServer's code is still 
based on the assumption that a mapfile is read only once at the very 
beginning and afterwards remains immutable during execution. A similar 
issue is arising in a discussion about layer feature source plugins. 
Many people, it turns out, have been mutating layer.connectiontype in 
their scripts.

IMO, the right solution might be to implement a method for symbolObj 
that loads imagery from disk and updates the cache, and to make 
symbolObj.imagepath immutable. Explicit is better.

You're welcome, Steve. I hope my highway shield suggestion is useful. 
That would be the most efficient, and worth some data preprocessing.

Jennifer,

  I do no see something obviously wrong with the sld. Here are some tips 
to try :
   * from what I know raster classification only works with 8 and 16 
bits rasters. Is your file 8/16 buts ?
   * if yes, please create manually in your map file some classes with 
the values that you have specified in the sld ( [pixel] >= 25 AND 
[pixel] < 50 with color ffffff,  [pixel] >= 50 AND [pixel] < 75 with 
color b22222 ...) and just do a getmap. Is it classified as expected ?

Later

hi there, 

I have a situation where shp2img works with a postgis connection and
mapserv does not. Postgis support was properly compiled into 
shp2img and the same for  mapserv.

When a web page is calling mapserver with postgis connection does not show anything, instead it works fine with shp files. 

Program shp2img works fine for the same map file and produces the appropriate image file

map file is 
-----------------

T. Lois, 

If you are in a position to rebuild your mapserver I would
suggest you do so, adding the "--enable-debug" switch.  This
will include support for debugging output.  Then add "DEBUG TRUE"
on the layer in question and rerun mapserv.  You may get some 
useful debugging output in your Apache error_log file this way. 

Another useful debugging step is to invoke mapserv at the commandline
with your query to see if it works there. 

eg. 
  mapserv QUERY_STRING="..."

The QUERY_STRING value should be everything in the request
url after the question mark.  If it works for mapserv at the commandline
and not via apache, then the problem is likely related to permissions
or environment between your account and how things run under
apache. 

PS. My first guess was that it related to layer status, but I see
you already have that set to default, so there should be no question
of the layer displaying under mapserv.  You might also want to ensure
that a scale dependency check isn't causing that layer to be skipped 
in mapserv.

Good luck,

Ryan,

  I have converted a layer used in gmap (park.shp) into a gml file using 
ogr. I tried outputing multiple swf using both shape and gml file and 
had no particular issue.
   As for setting the SWFDUMPATTRIBUTES, it should not be diffrent from 
the way you set it for a shape file for example. In my test case I have 
something like :
....
<gml:featureMember>
     <park fid="0">
       <AREA>38346293248.000</AREA>
       <PERIMETER>    1357483.000</PERIMETER>

       <REG_CODE>61</REG_CODE>
       <AREA_KMSQ>      39500.000</AREA_KMSQ>
...


   and a "SWFDUMPATTRIBUTES" "NAME_E,AREA_KMSQ"

  You can also post the gml/map file (or part of it) and I can give it a 
try.

Subject: tiff files not displaying
Message-ID: <THU.15.SEP.2005.154540.0400.>

If anyone could enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong I would really appreciate it. I'm just trying to get a tiff file to display (Windows XP, IIS 5), but all I get returned is a blank image. The mapserver configuration info is as follows:

MapServer version 4.7 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT 
SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS INPUT=POSTGIS 
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

My map file is set up like so:

MAP

  EXTENT -141 42 -52 83
  UNITS DD
	
  SHAPEPATH "data"
  SIZE 300 300
  IMAGETYPE png
   
   LAYER
   	NAME RDATA
   	STATUS DEFAULT
   	TYPE RASTER
	DATA "1KM_RAD.TIF"
   END
END

And I have a wld file in the data directory with the same name as the tif containing the following info:

1000
0.00000
0.00000
-1000
-2750000.131
3000000.244

Do I need to recompile Mapserver with tiff support? Is my problem somewhere else? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

D'oh! My bad. I just changed the above lines to:

  EXTENT -2750500.131 -2999499.756 2749499.869 3000500.244
  UNITS METERS

And the image appeared. Is there any way to mix two types of images, (one in decimal degrees and one in metres?), or do I have to convert one or the other? If I do have to convert (bearing in mind I am complete newbie), would gdalwarp be the right tool? And can it be done when the tif file does not contain coordinate system info?

Thanks again for any help,

Matt

Matt, 

The issue is that your TIFF file coordinates are in some 
projected coordinate system, but your map extents are in decimal
degrees.  If you want MapServer to reproject the raster to fit in
your map you will need to provide proper projection information
for the map, and the layer.  I see you have SUPPORTS=PROJ
and INPUT=GDAL so you should have all the required options
built into your mapserv binary.

Alternatively you could just set map extents that match the
extents of your raster if you don't particularly care about the
map coordinate system.   You can use gdalinfo on the TIFF file
to sett the extents (or try and compute them from the TFW file). 

Best regards,

Matt -

The EXTENT and UNITS you're requesting in your MAP file are evidently in
a completely different coordinate system than your TIFF file is (at
least, according to that world file).

And I just saw your second message, so you've figured that out <g>.

Yes, you can mix input data of different projections, and you can
produce an output image in yet another projection.  That's not too hard,
but it's not something you can do halfway - you need to be sure you
understand all your input data first.

And if you're intending to take perfectly good projected raster data and
use MapServer to rubber-sheet stretch it into some useless "geographic"
lat/lon output image, I'd be happy to help but you'll get a lecture
along with the help <g>!

Message-ID: <THU.15.SEP.2005.175258.0400.NICK.VRBOSIMMOFRONT.COM>

Hello,

I am new to MapServer.  What I am looking for is basic code to get a map 
going within a browser.
I have the win32 MapServer 4.6.1 version running.  My web app will be 
running .asp.  Can
MapServer work with this?

I would like to know how to generate a map from .shp files and their 
corresponding .dbf files.
Is there not an interface to create the basic layout of maps for MapServer?

Can someone help me on this and post a simple map generation code 
snippet for a .shp file?

Thanks.

I would be happy with solution. This is a major regression from 4.01 
that I am just now finding because I am trying to migrate a client up to 
a more recent release. This is also a problem on 4.4. I have added a bug
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1472 to cover this issue.

Well yes, all the new code does it this way for the numbered dots, but 
we still have the need to allow user defined symbols to be dynamically 
added.

Thanks,

Here is yet another variation that does not work:

# draw markers on the image

     my $lay = $mapObj->getLayerByName('umarker');
     if ($lay) {
         $lay->{status} = 1;
         my $class = $lay->getClass(0);
         my $pnt = new mapscript::pointObj();
         my @marks = split(/;/, param('mark') || $mark);
         my $symbolset = $mapObj->{symbolset};
         my $symbol = $symbolset->getSymbolByName('marker');
         foreach my $x (@marks) {
             my ($y, $x, $txt, $sym) = split(/[\s,]/, $x);
             if ($sym && -r "$symbol_path/$sym") {
                 my $tmp_sym = new mapscript::symbolObj('tmp_sym', 
"$symbol_path/$sym");
                 my $tmp_img = $tmp_sym->getImage($mapscript::MS_PNG);
                 $symbol->setImage($tmp_img);
             }
             $pnt->{x} = $x;
             $pnt->{y} = $y;
             $pnt->draw($mapObj, $lay, $imgObj, 0, $txt);
         }
     }
}

I also explicitly added a STYLE block to the mapfile like:

   LAYER
     NAME "umarker"
     STATUS ON
     TYPE POINT
     LABELCACHE FALSE
     TEMPLATE "ttt.html"
     CLASS
       NAME "User Marker"
       STYLE
         SYMBOL "marker"
         COLOR 0 0 0
       END
       #TEXT "HERE"
       LABEL
         TYPE TRUETYPE
         FONT "arial-bold"
         SIZE 8
         POSITION AUTO
         OFFSET 0 0
         BUFFER 4
         COLOR 0 0 0
         OUTLINECOLOR 230 230 230
         FORCE TRUE
       END
     END
   END

You can convert them up front using gdalwarp but you have to know the 
original projection. Even if the tiff's projection is not internally 
defined, you can set it using the -s_srs option. The -t_srs option is the 
output projection. Having all the datasets in the same coordinate space as 
your mapfile output will be the fastest option, esp for large datasets.

Alternatively you can mix and match coordiante systems by defining a) a 
PROJECTION object for your MAP which determines the output projection and b) 
a PROJECTION object for each LAYER with a projection other than the output 
projection. If you have huge datasets, reprojecting on the fly like this 
will slow you down a bit but you can keep/maintain each dataset in it's 
native coordinate system.

i had some problems working out the virtualspatialdata-wiki on my windows 2000 server which i'd like to share with you. when i first tested my virtual ogr file using ogrinfo, i recieved messages that the file gcs.csv could not be opened, containing the projection information. The reason was that i hadn't run setenv.bat.

Later when i tried to view the virtualdatalayer in mapserver i got the same messages. Apparently mapserver/apache/ogr also didn't know where to look for the projection-files. After introducing the parameter gdal_data in apache config the layer was displayed properly.

SetEnv gdal_data "/ms4w/tools/ogr-utils/data"

maybe somebody has a different sollution?

Good luck everybody, working on similar issues,

Hi There,


  One possible way of doing it is to create (or use already defined) 
layer in your map file which is of type circle.  Then you should be able 
to add a  shape object on the fly to this layer. You shape object should 
be a line type with 2 points which corresponds to the MBR of the circle.
  There might be other ways too.

Hi Paul,

Newer versions of MS4W have this problem fixed, all of the gdal 
reference files are included in /ms4w/gdaldata/ and the environment 
variable is set in apache.  Sorry about that.

If I understand you correctly, you're trying to download data and view it in 
OpenEV? Perhaps the OpenEV mailing list would have a better answer.

If you are using Mapserver to view the data, we'll need more specifics to be 
able to help you. For example, what script are you using? What dataset are 
you trying to view? What specific steps did you take and what exactly went 
wrong? The better you explain your problem, the better we'll be able to help 
you solve it.

Also, while myself and others are happy to offer consulting services for a 
fee, you are might be off keeping your questions in a public mailing list 
forum so that 1) you can draw on the knowledge of the entire community and 
2) the solutions to the problems will be archived so that others will have 
the answers if they encounter the same questions.

Hope to hear from you,

Subject: Linking error while compiling Mapserver
Message-ID: <SAT.17.SEP.2005.120714.0530.AS.KHADKIKARNCL.RES.IN>

Dear All,
I am getting a linking error while compiling either gdal or mapserver. I 
am working with visual c++ 6 standard edition. I have gone though the 
entire makefile.vc as well as checked the configuration for nmake.opt 
but am unable to understand where the problem lies.
The error comes at the end phase of compiling at which it gives the 
message: cannot find "C:\Program.obj".
Can anyone please guide me on how to go about this? As you guessed right 
I am not familiar with c++ and am just using the directions in the user 
guide for building mapserver binaries with oracle, php mapscript, proj4, 
pdf, jpeg and gdal support for our use.
In case if anyone has compiled such binaries for Oracle 9.2, could you 
please share them with me. This will allow me to start working straight 
away and worry about compiling later.
Though I would like very much to know where exactly I am goofing :)
Thanks
Aniruddha

Thank you to the author of the book for responding to my cry for help! Have
now created my first primitive map. The book,by the way, is Web Mapping by
Tyler Mitchell and published by O'Reilly. You guys are probably all experts,
but it's very exciting for a non-programmer like me to think I could really
learn to map data.
 
Thanks, Tyler. More questions undoubtedly on the way.

Aniruddha,

I would guess that you have a problem quote a path with a space
in it.  Are you building stuff under "C:\Program Files"?  I would strongly
advice you to put everything you can into a directory for which the 
path above it has no space.  If you don't want to do that, then you may
need to fiddle in the various makefiles with adding quoting around paths.

Hi list,

I am trying to get a basic WCS request running using the Mapserver WCS 
use cases HOWTO but am only getting corrupt tiff or corrupt ECW files 
out of Mapserver. Does anybody see what I am doing wrong? I am using the 
latest fwtools binaries.

The request I am trying is:

Gdalinfo says on the output files:

ECW file:

I think I see the problem, is it correct to say that (Mapserver) WCS 
cannot be used to rasterize vector data? It can only be used when the 
source layer is raster?

I was assuming it could also be used for rasterizing vector layers using 
the symbology defined in Mapserver.

Bart

Bart,

You are not removing the "Content-type: image/tiff\n\n" from the 
beginning of he return result.  Whenever I test at the commandlie this
way I manually edit this out of the result with emacs.  Any editor that
won't weird-out or "fix" binary files should do.   It is a hassle. 

Best regards,

Bart,

That is correct.  Currently at the key point in the getcoverage
implementation is calls msDrawRasterLayerLow() rather than a 
generic draw layer function.   I imagine there are other parts of
the WCS support which assume raster files as well.  

It might be possible to update things to support rendering from
vectors or other layer sources, but it would mean that all the
coverage resolution and such information would need to come
from metadata objects. 

Generally I still think of WCS as a mechanism for describing and
returning raster datasets without altering the raw pixel values.
But, in theory at least, coverages can be broader than just rasters.

Hi Frank,

that's a good one, I did not think of that.

Now I get a tiff file which gdalinfo can read, but if I open it up in 
OpenEV I don't see anything (black screen).

Can the WCS be used to rasterize vector data or not?

Can anyone point me to a good reference for creating a style and a  
symbol from phpmapscript.

I am trying to display a county or city with a hatch pattern based on  
an expression.

The documentation on the mapserver site gives no or little example uses.

I can selectively fill the background color of any county or city  
using an expression.  But my attempts at setting the style to use a  
hatch symbol are not working.

thanks much,

Has anyone run Mapserver on a 4+ CPU machine? Does it thread very well?

PostGIS will be running on a different machine (Quad Processor Sun

Shawn, 

The common way of running MapServer is as a cgi (either mapserv
itself, or a mapscript cgi).  In this form, each cgi request will run on 
a single CPU but several requests can be effectively serviced at a 
time. 

It is also possible to run MapServer in a multi-threaded way.  I 
would have to say that this is not so widely used, and consequently
somewhat risky. 

So, if you are running as a cgi, then you will be able to support more

Message-ID: <SAT.17.SEP.2005.221907.0500.BOICERUNSKIP.COM>


Hello,

I need help with expressions.

 From PHP mapscript I am trying to turn on all counties that that are  
in a set of counties that I supply.

For example, from all of the counties in the US I want to turn on  
only the ones with these fips numbers, (17139, 17157, 17167)

This list could change and include 5-100 fips numbers or more.

What would this query look like?

Is there a better way to do it?  Should I be considering a join.  I  
have the ability to dynamically create a dbf file with the counties I  
need to have on the map.  I could then join with that file I suppose.

Thank You Much,

boice

Dear All,
I got through the earlier errors by providing absolute paths in quotes.

I also resolved the regex problem by using PHP Mapscript option.

It seems I am closer to actually building the binaries...Let us hope I 
succeed...ofcourse with your help. This also highlights that the

for the windows platform. If I succeed, be sure that I shall upload my

Aniruddha, 

It seems that the OGC SLD stuff in 4.6.x only depends on enabling
OGR while providing the msOWSLookupMetadata function only 
occurs if WMS/WFS or WCS server is enabled.  I would suggest
enabling WMS server support.

Shawn,
You might want to play with the FCGI options in Mapserver a bit, if  
you are using PostGIS as a backend (or any database, really) since  
there is a small (in the PostGIS case) or large (in the Oracle)  
connection penalty for each CGI instantiation, and FCGI spreads that  
out over multiple map requests.
Yours,
Paul

I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback on this.  I must say it's 
mixed :-(

I am in an interesting situation, however: while my hardware needs will 
(hopefuly) grow to be considerable, my initial risk (in terms of real $$) 
is fairly low.  Even an occasional down time would be acceptable until 
about January, when I expect to ramp up usage.

Therefore, I'm considering the following strategy.  I think it will
provide the highest potential reward, while leaving me a fall-back 
position without looking too much investment.

I plan on going ahead with a dual 64-bit Opteron system.  I haven't
decided on dual-core or not.  I also have considered starting with a
single dual-core CPU and adding another near the end of my test cycle.  
That might save me cash if I decide I have to scrap this and go to a more 
conventional system -- I am leaning toward just getting two CPUs up front.

I would say that is an excellent strategy. I would stick with single  
core for now, just on a price/performance basis. As long as your  
motherboard supports dual cores, you have a potential upgrade path  
that is 'relatively' painless if you need it. Right now the costs of  
Dual Core processors is about 3-4x the price of single cores (from  
the places I have looked).

I wish I had an Opteron I could give the developers access to right  
now. While my hardware will all be 64bit, it will be UltraSPARC and  
MIPS based ;-) But they are welcome to access to those.

Worst case, you should have no problems running 32bit apps on it. We  
are running straight 32bit on our 120 Dual Opteron's without any  
problems.

Can anyone give me a hint or a piece of code to get the image coordinates in

I have installed ms4w and mapbender on my testserver on Port 8081. That?s
running fine.

Now I want to transfer this on an other server on Port 80. But there is
already an normal (windows) server running. So the WMS should be the second
server.

1. Is this possible to run a windows server and a WMS on the same maschine
and on port 80?
2. What settings shall be conducted for this?

I see a problem that a query on IP:80 could not be assignet to the right
server...

Hi Leopold,

That is true. You cannot bind two applications to one port.

What you can do is:

- Setup your WMS in the document root directory (htdocs) of the existing 
     port-80 webserver so it is accessible from the web

- Better solution: Setup your WMS in a directory outside the existing 
webserver's document root and add an ALIAS ([1]) to the config file of 
this web server to include that directory. This should be the better way 
because the existing web site will not be touched.

In both cases you will have to setup the mapserv binary and PHP in the 
web server environment.

Regards,
Sebastian


[1]
If your web server is an Apache the ALIAS can look like this:
Alias /your_wms/ "c:\whatever\my_wms\"
<Directory "c:\whatever\my_wms\">
   AllowOverride None
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

If your web server is an IIS you should be able to do the same thing by 
clickclickclick in the configuration panels of your IIS.

Hello,

If you use Mapserver 4.6 and later for wfs requests on Oracle Spatal layers do not use the 'normal' synstax of 

DATA "GEOMETRIE FROM GEBOUW USING UNIQUE ID SRID 90112"

This helps Mapserver very much to crash

Instead use the other syntax that works for joins as the datasource 
DATA "GEOMETRIE FROM (SELECT GEOMETRIE, ID FROM GEBOUW ) USING UNIQUE ID SRID 90112"

This has been tested on database versions 10g and 9.2

I suppose the suggestion to compile on windows with MSVC service pack 4 5 or 6 holds, i didn't go back on that.

Hmm.

Also ich muss zugeben, dass ich den MS4W noch nicht benutzt habe, da ich
vornehmlich unter Linux arbeite. Da du aber bereits einen Webserver
hast, solltest du den anderen nicht starten.

Ich bin mir nur nicht sicher, wie du das Mapserver-CGI und vor allem
Mapscript und PHP miteinbinden kannst.

Hi Leopold,

seems you have two classitems defined for the line layer: CLASSITEM 
"BELFZGIV1" and CLASSITEM 'fzgiv'. Maybe that's all.

Cheers, Michael

With only a little learning curve, 64-bit Opteron isn't too bad.

Didn't see who posted this (things have been hectic lately) but I can 
likely provide an opteron system account.  Contact me offlist to 
accomplish this.

I'd not be too mixed.  I've been pleased enough with the Opteron to have 
essentially migrated my HPC cluster in that direction (having said that, 
we just ordered 16 nodes of Pentium D to test the architecture!) as well 
as my graphics systems, fileservers, and data acquisition systems.

The conservative approach would be to start with 2 single-core chips and 
migrate to dual core, but I don't think your approach will be too bad, 
either!

Correct.  We've done that while we were working the kinks out of a 
single-core, single CPU system... Motherboard issues mostly, as our 
compute cluster was merrily running 64-bit linux the whole time on a 
different motherboard set and "just doin' it".

Learning curve for 64-bit compiles.  kinda steep but not too high.  you 
should do fine.

Why didn't *I* think of that?  I can likely privide a system where we 
can do the same, either an Opteron or an Athelon-64, which is performing 
about the same as an Opteron in a graphics-intensive environment.

Haven't done most of the GDAL/Proj-intensive stuff.  Mapserver compiles. 
  PostGIS just works.  Most of our focus was on Unidata's Gempak s/w, 
and now, IDL, for some meteorological apps.  MapServer, for us, still 
runs on a one-lung Celeron system!

I am also interested in rotating point symbols, especially vector 
symbols.  Is there currently an effort to add support for point symbol 
rotation?  I see this bug:

    http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=533

hasn't been updated in over a year.  As I understand it, it's currently 
impossible to rotate point symbols via both STYLE -> ANGLE , and STYLE 
-> ANGLEITEM.  Is that correct?

Hi,

We have a situation where we would like to include the micro sign special character as part of a CLASS NAME in a mapfile.

I initially thought that this could have be written as escaped HTML entities, like &#181; or &micro;, but neither of those worked in the mapfile.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Tom,

Do you know how to include special characters in a CLASS object within a mapfile ?

I have many maps in mapinfo polygons format that I want to include in a WMS service.

Each map shows concentrations of contaminants in sediments.

The concentrations are in differents units, among them is microgram/gram. The abreviation for this is ?g/g

Now, in the mapfile, I use this code to represent each thematic class in the polygons file :

    CLASS
       NAME "Hg 0.075-0.140 ?g/g"
       EXPRESSION ([Upper]=0.140056)
       COLOR 0 255 255
       OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 255
    END

The '?' symbol in the NAME parameter does not appear in the resulting legend (it is replaced by something else). Is there a way to use special characters like '?'  in the NAME parameter of a CLASS object ?

See GetMap result attached

Thank

Unpleasant solution:
Make it a 'u' or something with your normal text editor.  Then, open  
your map file in hexedit, and change that 'u' to the higher ASCII  
value that corresponds to the 'micro' sign (presumably 181, or b5 in  
hex, if that is what the HTML entities table says).

Tom,

Can't you just enter it using its ASCII value? On windows, hold down ALT, and press "230". I have tested it, and the class name comes out correctly with the micro sign. Not sure if you can do it the same way on Linux, though.....
For ascii codes, see: http://www.lookuptables.com/

Jacob

Hi list,

I have a little problem running php_mapscript. My mapserver binary works 
as desired, so I?m positive about my compilation.
But when calling phpinfo_mapscript.phtml, my apache throws the following 
error message:
ld.so.1: /opt/csw/apache2/sbin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file

Don?t know, if this is important: I?m on Solaris 10 on AMD64.

I?d appreciate any hint to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

I have to answer the question my self.

The only way I could find to create a safe solution, was to create single
treaded processes (I tried tree simultaneous processes). Still I get
problems with my dynamic inline features, it's not consequent but it
happens and with this dynamic process approach they can be killed and
restarted.

Anyhow, the solution is safe, it works and it's wery good performance.

This is from my latest performance test. Same data,s ame server same
everything:

with MapServer in my environment (c#...)

stop  07:49:41

Both &#181; and &amp;micro; should work. Which font are you using? It should
contain that
particular glyph.

I have investigated using MapScript in the c# environment in the past and 
had concerns with the memory usage etc. Saying that I am not the most 
experienced SWIG user! Is there any chance you could let me know more 
information (or point me to) how you built the stable environment?

Much apppreciated

Hello list,

 

I want that when I click on the reference map, I will be zoomed to the
clicked point in the map.

How can I transform the pixel coordinates from the reference map into the
proper coordinates of the map?

 

Can you give me a hint or a piece of code and help me how to implement this
with php?

 

Thank you for your help!!

With best regards,

Andreas

No dice.

Here's a CLASS and symbol def:

  CLASS
   NAME "My Class &micro;"
   COLOR 255 0 0
   OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
   SYMBOL 'mysym'
   SIZE 25
  END

You don't give the parameters for the legend object in your description. 
Add a label object to your legend definition (as shown below) and a 
fontset ( .fon) to the map root. This should clear up your problem.

    legend
        status on
            label
                type truetype
                font sanserif

Yes, you are correct on rotating point symbols. Support for ANGLEITEM isn't what is
important, it's the support for ANGLEs. At this moment only circle symbols (for drawing
pies) and the special HATCH symbol. I hope this changes soon- like before 4.8 beta...

Steve

>>> Brock Anderson <banders at REFRACTIONS.NET> 09/19/05 12:12 PM >>>
I am also interested in rotating point symbols, especially vector 
symbols.  Is there currently an effort to add support for point symbol 
rotation?  I see this bug:

    http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=533 

hasn't been updated in over a year.  As I understand it, it's currently 
impossible to rotate point symbols via both STYLE -> ANGLE , and STYLE 
-> ANGLEITEM.  Is that correct?

I think the problem may be your * at the end because that would add in your
regular the_geom so you would end up having 2 the_geom fields.  try getting
rid of * and explicitly listing the fields you need.

More Help:

Standard ways of specifiying are :

Make sure you put in the 'using unique <column name>' and 'using SRID=#'

I found that I was losing the SRID information when I tried to use the

if anyone can help me fix this error. Any input would be appreciated.

Your subquery is returning two columns with the name "the_geom". There's
really not much need to include all the columns in the DATA string so you
might try to remove the ,* and see if that works.

Well * is what's causing the problems (redundant the_geom columns). How
about replacing * with PPIN instead.

Matt is right, you should retrieve precisely as many columns as you  
need, no more.  A unique id, something to do labeling with, perhaps,  
something to calculate classes with, perhaps, and the geometry  
itself. That's it.

I got the mapfile working with

cal_parcel) AS foo USING UNIQUE gid USING SRID=-1

I am still wondering why would you loose the SRID information in this
process of calculating the centroid.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi all,

I have 2 layers, one is a polygon layer and the other is a centroid of the
polygon. When I draw the polygon layer and label it, it overlaps the
centroid symbol and blocks it. Is there a way in mapfile, that I can specify
the centroid layer to be drawn on top of the label. Or make it detect the
layer and move the label accordingly??.

Any input would is appreciated.

Message-ID: <WED.21.SEP.2005.123907.0800.JACOB.DELFOSMAUNSELL.COM>

Hi List,

I'm moving a mapserver site from one machine to another, and even though I'm using the same mapserver and gdal files, and a similar setup, I get fatal crashes as soon as there is an ECW in the view. Without ECW it's fine. This occurs in php_mapscript, but also in shp2img. It happens in version 4.4.2 and 4.6.1 (from mapserver homepage), which seem to use the same GDAL. I don't have multiple conflicting versions of DLL's in my system path.

The pc on which it all works fine is Windows XP SP2. The ones on which it crashes are Windows XP SP1 and Windows 2000 SP4. There must be dependencies for ECW support which differ between different OS. What could those be? I have tried copying msvcrt.dll and gdi.dll, but to no avail. Strangely enough, when viewed with explorer, the map image (with ECW) does show up after the PHP fatal crash.

The dependency walker doesn't report errors. Could this have to do with the other ECW issues mentioned on the GDAL list?

Regards,

Jacob

We had a similar problem yesterday, not with ECW but with OVF (handle by
gdal in both case).

We just replace the gdal12.dll file from the "good" machine to the "bad"
machine and now all work fine.

The 2 dll have the same version number and size but the date is different
and they come from a different distribution.

Hello List,

first of all: Thanks for all the helpful emails
that I find each day in the mailing-lists to solve
various problems using UMN.

Unfortunately there is something where I haven't
yet found any answer-thread to: regarding the
performance between mapserver running as cgi and
using phpMapscript-Module. Is it much slower to
use (php)Mapscript? Or is the difference not too
bad?
Does somebody has any experiences with that?
Or did any comparisons/benchmarks/performance
testing?

I only found similar questions to this topic:

Hi List,
I'm using mapserver 4.6, postgis 1.0.3-1,  ms4w and php/mapscript.
I have a postgis layer with gid as primary key. The layer is drawn
correctly and i can acces its shapes via $shp = $layer->getShape(-1, 1).
After that i create a new layer. The new layer is the same with the one
described, except that its data come from :
$layer->set("data", "the_geom from (SELECT * FROM 'mylayerhere' WHERE
gid IN(1,2,3) as foo using unique gid using srid='mysridhere'"
The layer is draw correctly. The problem is that when i try to access
its feature via $shp = $layer->getShape(-1, 1) , i get a boolean value
(false)in $shp. It seems like the layer has no features although they 
are drawn correctly!
I also get the following error from apache error log :
msPOSTGISLayerRetrievePK: field length = $imsPOSTGISLayerRetrievePK:
field length = $i

Has anyone experienced a similar problem ?
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm looking to use MapServer cgi exclusively without touching MapScript, as 
this will be easier to work with. I need to read parameters values, such as 
zoomdir, ext, layers etc. from the previous call to mapserver. Am I right 
say the only way of doing this is reading the html page output from 
mapserver? i.e. to get the img link, read what [img] has been replaced with. 
Or is there another way.

Thanks for your help,

Hi Dave,
dear list,

thanks for the reply.
I called ldd against my mapserv binary as well as against the 
php_mapscript.so and set the apache environment to include the 
directories ldd gave back. Unfortunately no success - I still get the 
same error message.

I didn?t find much about php_sprintf issues in other lists or in google, 
so if there?s any other hint, I?d really appreciate it.

Since there have been some articles concerning the Opteron topic on the 
list lately, I?d like to answer Dave?s question on the list, too:
In fact, it?s a Sun Fire V20z, which is a 1U box with up to two 
Opterons. It?s by definition not one of the new Sun Galaxy boxes, but as 
far as I could see, they are not too different. We?re running a bunch of 
intranet web services on a HP DL585 (which is a 4U box with up to four 
Opterons) for more than a year now. The Sun box is employed for 
development and testing purposes, mainly. Personally, I?m more than 
satisfied with the performance of both of them as well as with their 
reliability.
For details, feel free to contact me off list. I?d be glad to share what 
I?ve learned so far.

Thanks again for helping on my php_sprintf issue ;-)
Chris

Hello all people.

I'm new user mapserver. I'm creating application for museum to Rovigo in Italy, but i've some problem to understund on the mapserver's future.
I would create, in my project, a routine to calculate shortest route between 2 cities, supposing tha i succed this and the result is a query of information of the db(e.g Mysql).
This query has the principal category to referencing object that is e.g.:

2000 Rome .... etc.

2000 is contact (the join) to shape file tha will draw.
Therefore this query associate only object that i will draw it.

How can i do this join so that mapserver visualize only information on the query?

Thanks all.

Alessio from italy.

Paolo,

there is a brillant postgres extension called "pgdijkstra" from 
camp2camp. You need postgres 8.0. It delivers an algorythm for 
calculating the shortest path - you also may alter this by other 
attributes, because you are in the database.

It's a horror to get the first data into the db (I can help) - if once 
done it is quite easy and afterwards it's easy to handle.

Hi Till,

pgdijkstra sounds very interesting, however googling for it doesn't give very much info, apologies
for my ignorance, but can you send a couple of links please.

Many thanks,

Norman

Thank you very much, 

it works!

I guess I'm having some kind of combination problem. It's not working when 
adding this layer to you map-file.

LAYER
  NAME coast
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS default
  DATA coast
  
  CLASS
      COLOR 10 10 10
  END
  METADATA
    WMS_TITLE "Coast"
    WMS_SRS "EPSG:9810"
  END
END


I remember that the WMS Client howto mentioned to be very aware of projections 
when combining WMS layer and other layers. I think this shapefile layer have 
data in polar stereographic (EPSG:9810?) projection.

Any clues?

Best Regards
Joern

 You can use the buffer() function to create circles in PostGIS: buffer(<center>,<radius>).
Ex:
	select buffer('POINT(0 0)',100);                // circle as a POLYGON
      select exteriorRing(buffer('POINT(0 0)',100));  // circle as a LINESTRING 

  You can store then as Polygons or Linestrings.

Yes, the bitmap font only contains the basic characters. Nothing fancy.

If EPSG:9810 is a supported projection in your case (I do not have it in 
my espg projection file), It should not make a diffrence when combining 
wms layers and local. All of them are reproject to the projection 
defined at the map file level.

  BTW : you need to add a projection object on your layer.  I don't 
think that the wms_srs would be used for projection. Add something like :
   PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:9810"
   END

Hi,

with standard QueryString-Attribute "mode=browse" MapServer stores the
images in the "imgepath" I defined in my map file.

Is this also possible when using an OGC WMS GetMap-Request or is this
always like "mode=map".

Thanks, Gunter

Subject: MapServer and ArcSDE raster support
Message-ID: <WED.21.SEP.2005.115101.0500.KEN5LIBERO.IT>

Hello everybody,
I would like to realize a geodatabase with ArcEditor, ArcSDE and Oracle.
I wonder if MapServer can connect to raster data from ArcSDE.
I read that ArcSDE vectors are well supported, but i was not able to
understand if there are any problems with raster data.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all who responded. Quite reassuring to see that the solution I had 
in mind are those you suggested. 
I never used the pg module; is it possible to define only one start and end 
point, or can I select multiple points?
I have cursorily read the README, but could not find it.
As Stephan pointed out, I would be inclined towards GRASS, but the database 
approach seems more compact. Anybody has tried both methods, and can 
arguments about respective merits?
Again, many thanks.

Hi everyone,
  this is my first email to the list so a quick hello to everyone out there.

My problem is this : how can I get access to the values member of the
shapeObj class...

In php, you can access it easily with $leShape->values["NAME"]

however, I haven't quite figure out what to do with the SWIGTYPE_p_p_char
data type that shapeObj.values returns, or more how to access any actual
value from it.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks

Mat

Hi all,

I have 2 layers, one is a polygon layer and the other is a centroid of the
polygon. When I draw the polygon layer and label it, it overlaps the
centroid symbol and blocks it. Is there a way in mapfile, that I can specify
the centroid layer to be drawn on top of the label. Or make it detect the
layer and move the label accordingly??.

Any input would is appreciated. 

Thanks,

The default behavior is to cache all the labels and draw them on top after
all layers are rendered. You can use LABELCACHE OFF to draw the labels with
the layer so that any layers after it are drawn on top:

from the docs:
-------------------
LABELCACHE [on|off]

Specifies whether labels should be drawn as the features for this layer are
drawn, or whether they should be cached and drawn after all layers have been
drawn. Default is on. Label overlap removal, auto placement etc... are only
available when the label cache is active.

Of course that last line about no overlap removal might make the results
kind of messy but it's worth a shot.

I'm a newbie to mapping in general, so please have mercy if I'm asking stupid questions.

I have a shapefile that was given to me in Nevada State Plane, and I used shpproj to reproject as follows:
 shpproj stateplane_shapefile geographic_shapefile -i="init=nad83:2703 units=us-ft" -o=geographic

The map looks perfect when I view it in xastir (ham radio APRS mapping program) but looks about 30% too wide when viewed with mapserver.

Here's the map file... Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

thanks for reading this far.

hi list,

I wonder if the sizeitem element could be used to perform simple
calculation on table values, rather than being limited to preprocessed
values.
this could be used to display population values (e.g.
[population]/1000), or any other relatively trivial calculation on
table attributes.

I'm new to mapserver, but would be happy to contribute to
implementation if this seems to be a good idea.

cheers,

I have not set up the proposed pgis-solution, but the GRASS-version.
It has some requirements to make it work. AFAIK it is currently
only doable on GNU/Linux machines with the latest gdal/ogr-code. Once
you have that set up you can use the GRASS-network-algorithms even on
data stored in pgis (using v.extrenal). 
The needed topology (which is actually a pseudo-topolgy) is stored
inside GRASS.

If you need further information about the GRASS-part, contact me.

Best regards

	Stephan

Hi James,

You are doing nothing wrong. Mapserver takes the coordinate in the file 
and treats them as X/Y and generates the images based on this. If you 
plot geographic long/lat as X/Y you get an elongated image. xastir must 
be compensating for the fact that it is geographic data and applying a 
hidden projection of some type.

Mapserver does not do this. if you want it projected you have to 
EXPLICITLY tell it to perform a projection.

In the mapfile, you can define the OUTPUT projection in the MAP object 
and the projection that the data is in in the LAYER object, or you can 
leave all the PROJECT ... END blocks out if they are all the same and it 
will just plot the data as X/Y.

Hello list,

I'm trying to change the color of some lines. When the user clicks, I make
querybypoint over a streets layer and find the shape.
My streets layer have 2 classes, I want to change the color from first class
to second class. Or only change the color, with mapscript.
I tried everything without success.
I'm using java mapscript, but any tip is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: A question of scale
Message-ID: <THU.22.SEP.2005.151150.0200.FRANSGEODAN.NL>

Hello,

Currently I am setting minimum and maximum scales for layers and classes 
in the map file. This works leads me to the question how scale is 
defined in mapserver. I could not find it in the documentation. Does 
anyone know what is meant by scale in the context of the MINSCALE and 
MAXSCALE keywords?

And wouldn't it be better to use scalehints (as defined by the OGC) in 
stead of scale? That would also make the settings less confusing because 
MINSCALE is used for maximum scale and vice versa.

Regards,

Frans

James,

Exactly.  But it isn't hard to setup a reasonable projection,
even the original stateplane zone coordinate system if that is
what you would prefer to see (for minimal shape distortion).

Hello,

I am using MapServer 4.6 with shapefiles.
I want to know if exists a way of calculating the distance between a

In my case, I have the lines layer "roads" in my map object.
Havin a point (x,y) I want to know the distance to a particular road.
Is there a way of doing it with MapServer?
Thanks.

That would just give me the symbol with the shield without line symbol. I

In your map file, first define a symbol with the path to your image like
this:

  SYMBOL
    NAME "School"
    TYPE pixmap
    IMAGE "school.gif"
    FILLED false
  END


Then reference that symbol in your layer:

  DATA 'ShapeFiles/Washington/schools/schools'
  LABELITEM 'Name'
  CLASS
    STYLE
	  OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

there are so many explanations from Ed McNierney on this issue in the Mapserver archive. Among others:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0208/msg00056.html 

And OGC already left the ScaleHints at WMS 1.3 ...... and replaced it with MinScaleDenominator and MaxScaleDenominator which is basically what Mapserver has. See also:

Thanks Bart, this offers a clear explanation of the matter. I did search 
the archive but the word 'scale' is very common, I'm afraid.
In fact there is already some information on this matter in the MapFile 
Reference:

RESOLUTION [int]

    Sets the pixels per inch for output, only affects scale computations
    and nothing else, default is 72

Nonetheless, I think it would be a good idea to rename 'MINSCALE' and 
'MAXSCALE' to  'MINSCALDENOMINATOR'  and 'MAXSCALEDENOMINATOR'. Or let 
those keywords be synonyms for backward compatibility. Not only would 
the 'min' and 'max' bits be less confusing, it would also be clear the 
scale definition as found in the WMS 1.3 specification is used by MapServer.

Regards,

Frans

Sure they can. Use an annotation layer. Here's a snippet from our rec compass
mapfile, specifically the county highway shields:

  LAYER
    NAME road_counln3_anno 
    MAXSCALE 200000
    STATUS DEFAULT
    DATA 'data/gen/state/mn/road_counln3'
    TYPE ANNOTATION
    LABELITEM 'road_num'
    CLASS
      COLOR 0 0 0 # dummy color
      SYMBOL '/usr/local/mapserver/symbols/ctyhwy.png'
      LABEL
        MINFEATURESIZE 50
        MINDISTANCE 150
        SIZE TINY
        COLOR 0 0 0
	PARTIALS FALSE
      END
    END
  END

You cannot draw the line, the shield and the number at the same time though.

Virginie,

You will need to create the tileindex first (which I think is covered in
the howto (gdaltindex)). Following is a working mapfile and a dump of
the tileindex dbf file items. This is all covered pretty well in the
howto however so the solution to any problems you're having may lie
elsewhere.

Subject: Symbol rotation via attribute lookup
Message-ID: <THU.22.SEP.2005.191245.0600.MIKE.UNDERWOODGMAIL.COM>

Hello,
I'm using PHP/MapScript 4.6 and trying to create a layer of points from a
PostGIS database using an arrow pointing in the direction of the 'heading'
field in the data table. No matter what I try though, I get a map with all
of the arrows pointing straight up (i.e. unrotated). My definitions include
a TrueType symbol using a character of an arrow pointing up (I've also tried
drawing an arrow as a Vector symbol with the same results):

SYMBOL
NAME 'trackarrow'
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT 'adings'
FILLED false
ANTIALIAS false
CHARACTER 'a'
END

A layer with the following data source:

DATA "vessel_coordinate from (select * from archive_v where vessel_id=12) as
foo using unique myoid using SRID=-1"

A class to size, colour and (in theory) rotate the symbol:

CLASS
SYMBOL 'trackarrow'
SIZE 12
STYLE
COLOR 0 0 0
ANGLEITEM 'heading'
END
END

I know that the ANGLEITEM line is being read by MapServer because if I
change the name in quotes I get an error that the field doesn't exist, and
if I try putting the field name in square brackets I get parsing errors, but
setup like this I simply get all of the arrows size twelve, coloured black,
but pointing up. The table contains thousands of records with values in the
heading field ranging from 0 to 359.

Any insight into why the arrows won't rotate and how to make them do so
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Subject: getShape() and PostGIS Layers
Message-ID: <FRI.23.SEP.2005.090920.0300.INFOEGEODATA.GR>

Hi list,
I had some problems accessing features from a dynamic postgis layer.
After some research i discovered that php/mapscript function
$layer->getShape(tileindex, shapeindex); does not have the expected
behaviour, at least the one I was expecting :-) . This is not about the
issue that shapeindex must begin from 1.

Here is my map file :
    MAP
        NAME "country"
        STATUS ON
        EXTENT 744723.842 4108421.689 757400.350 4121357.515

            "wms_onlineresource"
"http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\mapscript\htdocs\mapfile.map&"
            "wms_srs"                      "EPSG:4121"
            "wfs_title"                       "country"
            "wfs_onlineresource"

            "wfs_srs"                       "EPSG:4121"
        END
        IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"
        IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"
      END
      PROJECTION
        "init=epsg:4121"
      END
    END

Here's my script :

    if (!extension_loaded( "mapscript" ))
        dl ("php_mapscript_46.dll" );

    $map = ms_newMapObj("mapfile.map");

    $layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
    $layer->set("debug",               MS_ON);
    $layer->set("name",                "postgis_cities_layer");
    $layer->set("connectiontype", MS_POSTGIS);
    $layer->set("connection",       "user=postgres password=qwe123
dbname=leros host=localhost port=5432");
    $layer->set("status",               MS_ON);
    $layer->set("type",                 MS_POLYGON);
    $layer->set("sizeunits",           MS_METERS);
    $layer->set("toleranceunits",   MS_METERS);
    $layer->set("tolerance",         300);
    $layer->set("template",          "blank.html");
    $layer->set("data",                "the_geom from (SELECT * FROM
cities WHERE gid IN(5,6)) as foo using unique gid using srid=4121)");

    $layer->open();
    $shp_1 = $layer->getShape(-1, 1);
    $shp_2 = $layer->getShape(-1, 5);
    $layer->close();

    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($shp_1);
    print_r($shp_2);
    echo "</pre>";

    $c = ms_newClassObj($layer);
    $s = ms_newStyleObj($c);
    $s->color->setRGB(255, 0, 0);
    $img = $map->draw();
    $url = $img->saveWebImage();

    echo "<img src=\"$url\" />";


The image is drawn perfectly.

print_r($shp_1)  outputs nothing!
print_r($shp_2) outputs a shape!

In other words shapeindex in function  $layer->getShape(tileindex,
shapeindex) corresponds to gid column in the postgis table cities.

Is this the expected behaviour ?
Is there a way to do a loop and get all the shapes from a layer using
straightforward code?

Two things to try
1. Place a LABEL to display the value of 'heading'.
2. Check the attributes of the 'heading' field in PostGIS, is it a 
string, integer, float, double, etc... ANGLEITEM may need to be a 
non-string to work.

Hope this helps.

Hi List,

I have a problem with imagemaps and point layers.

As expected i got an area tag for each record of my underlying layer.
The strange thing is that each '%s' wildcard in my FORMATOPTIONS is
replaced with the layer name instead of the field value of item
specified in the classitem tag (layer section).

<map name="map1" width="300" height="300">
<area href="alert('city');" shape="circle" coords="181,69, 3" />
<area href="alert('city');" shape="circle" coords="89,72, 3" />
<area href="alert('city');" shape="circle" coords="188,119, 3" />
...
</map>

Attached you find the outformat and layer definition of my mapfile.
Do i miss something or is this a bug?
If i change the whole thing to a polygon layer '%s' is replaced with the
values of the classitem field.

BTW: I use the latest stable release 4.6.1 on an Debian Sarge release.

  OUTPUTFORMAT
     NAME imagemap
     MIMETYPE "text/html"
     DRIVER imagemap
     FORMATOPTION "SYMBOLHREF=alert('%s');"
  END

  LAYER

Thanks for every hint!

Hi,

I created my own map and I inserted my coodinates. First of all I

insert it in a data base to place several symbols in my my.

Al symbols have a displacement. As you can see in

rectangles are in the correct position but blue symbols are the displaced
ones.

UTM coordinates are completely correct, I placed it manually over the map
but when mapserver place them they are incorrect.

Someone could indicate me why appears this displacement?

Thank you.

Hi Miguel!

Maybe you need this function:

 double distanceToShape(shapeObj shape)
        Calculates the minimum distance between a point and a shape

Hi,

we have been setting up a mapserver/phpMapScript application (v 4.4.2),
which works fine in our own environment (debian sarge).
Now after having someone else installing it on another server (SuSE
something) there is a  problem. While Mapserver displays raster files if
it is addressed via http-requests (ogc-wms as well as ms API work),
phpMapscript requests (mapObj->draw) lead to server crashes (I know this
has been discussed several times before, but maybe I just don't
understand the solution!). On the other hand, e.g. prepareImage() and
others work fine.

Carlo,

I'm no expert on IWS, but I'll try to give my impressions.

First UMN MapServer does not have the same capabilities as IWS.
IWS maintains up open connection from the client to the server to
continuous update an image view as the user roams around and zooms.
This give a significantly more interactive experience than can ever be
achieved with MapServer in a traditional http request environment.   You
can think of ka-Map/Google maps as an attempt to provide something
vaguely similar, but IWS (potentially) can make this seamless.

I would add that IWS delivers content with ECW compression which
is significantly better than JPEG for instance.  MapServer could deliver
individual images in ECW format, but it really depends on having a
client that supports ECW.  IWS achieves that by requiring a custom client
app or plugin.

On the other hand, MapServer certainly can quite practically and
efficiently serve from massive image databases.

My understanding is that IWS just serves image data from a big pre-rendered
image file on disk.  For that reason, it is not suitable for complex,
and dynamic
rendering which is well addressed by MapServer.

I'm not too sure how they could be effectively used together.  It would be
nice if the IWS client could also pull a layer from WMS (perhaps it does?)
Then mapserver could serve dynamic content overlayed on imagery
from IWS.

So, from my point of view MapServer is a generic mapserver for dynamic
and static content to a generic web browser.

IWS is a custom imagery delivery solution requiring a custom client side
plugin, but can provide a degree of interactivity and performance that
would otherwise be essentially impossible to achieve.

Alain,

Encrypted BSB 4 files are not supported by GDAL.  Unencrypted ones
*might* work, though I don't know if I have encountered such a thing
yet.  BSB 1, 2 and 3 files are supported.

Feel free to send me a sample file if you are having problems.

A style ANGLEITEM only works with a couple symbol types hatch and circles (for drawing arcs). More
complete symbol rotation support is on the way. However, truetype labels can be rotated...

The workaround would be do something like this with a point or annotation layer:

 LABELANGLEITEM 'heading'
 CLASS
     LABEL
       TYPE TRUETYPE      
       SIZE 12
       COLOR 0 0 0       
       FONT 'adings'
     END

With a point layer you might have to draw a single pixel (that is, add COLOR 0 0 0 to the
class object).

Two things to try
1. Place a LABEL to display the value of 'heading'.
2. Check the attributes of the 'heading' field in PostGIS, is it a 
string, integer, float, double, etc... ANGLEITEM may need to be a 
non-string to work.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Problem with display of raster backdrop -- ECW files with overlap
Message-ID: <FRI.23.SEP.2005.144920.0600.SCLARKCOUNTY.LETHBRIDGE.AB.CA>


Hi,

I am working on a mapserver application to display ECW orthophotos for
Southern Alberta where the orthophotos have overlap. 

I have created a tiled index layer for these orthos and am having
problems during the draw cycle when the orthos are turned on.

I have attached the layer file from mapserver:

LAYER
  NAME ecw_2003_tile
  TILEINDEX "e:/data/ecw_2003_index.shp"
  TILEITEM "location"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
  TRANSPARENCY 60

  CLASS
	NAME "COLA 2003 Orthophotos"
  END

  METADATA
    WMS_TITLE "COLA 2003 Orthophotos"
    WMS_ABSTRACT "N/A"
    WMS_SRS "EPSG:26912"
  END

END


I have been able to draw the ortho layer when "zoomed in" to only one
ortho sheet that is visible but not when an ortho overlaps with another
ortho.

I am using MS4W and have tested this config with MS44 and MS46 with both
app crashing.


Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this problem.

Nuri -

I agree with Steve - how exactly did you convert your GPS coordinates to
UTM coordinates?  What datum did you use, and what datum does the rest
of the map use?

If you can give us a sample of the "GPS coordinates" and the UTM output,
we can check the conversion.

I doubt it's a mapserver problem, most likely a problem the conversion

Hi,

I created my own map and I inserted my coodinates. First of all I
translated my GPS coordinates to UTM coordinates and then to pixels to
insert it in a data base to place several symbols in my my.

Al symbols have a displacement. As you can see in
www.nusvirtual.com/selectiva (click link to see de map) small yellow
rectangles are in the correct position but blue symbols are the
displaced ones.

UTM coordinates are completely correct, I placed it manually over the
map but when mapserver place them they are incorrect.

Someone could indicate me why appears this displacement?

Thank you.

Frank is correct in this aspect. ERMapper has a product in their range called
RightWebMap which is a web based javascript viewer capable of combining
streaming ECW with your traditional wms / arcims output.

See http://www.ermapper.com/integration/ for further information.

Take a look, it might be what you are after.

Hello List ,
i got a little problem ( cause i'm a noob with gis ).

I want to use wms data from an other server  with  my ( working ) mapserver.

Here is the link to the wms data:
http://www.landesvermessung.sachsen.de/ias/basiskarte/service/SRVTKFREE/WMSFREE_TK/wmsservice?REQUEST=GetCapabilities

When i use the GetCapabilities link i get an xml-file with a lot of data.
I tried to build an map file like shown on the uml-doc page,
but it didn't work.

How does such a map file have to look like ?

Thanks, Thomas

Hi everybody,

MapScript offers the nice functionality to add WMS layers via a Map 
Context XML file.

I would like to convert the XML received from a GetCapabilites request 
into a Map Context XML document and load this Map Context XML file as 
layers into the map object. I think XSL transformation could be a good 
solution to do this conversion. Has anybody already worked on an XSLT 
template to convert the GetCapabilites XML into a Map Context XML document?

the capabilities request was

There's one over at

You can probably modify it for WMS, and hopefully contribute it to the
project!

I'm running Mapserver 4.6 with Chameleon and to this point only utilizing

Matt,

You would use CONNECTIONTYPE OGR and a CONNECTION string like
"ODBC:MyDSN" where MyDSN is the DSN you setup for the Microsoft
SQL Server dataset in question.   You might want to skim the OGR ODBC
driver page at:

  http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_odbc.html

>  2: What format does the geo data need to be in the table. Currently, the

That should be fine, but there is still the issue of identifying the columns
to be used as spatial columns.  For this you will need to setup an
OGR Virtual File (often extension .ovf).  These are documented at:

  http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_vrt.html

There is also a detailed wiki topic on the use of virtual files to access data
from ODBC connections such as yours.  I don't recall the url but you could
dig around for it if the above isn't enough info.

Tom,

thanks for the link. The Caps2Context.xsl is in fact for WMS. There seem 
to be just some small discrepancies between the output of the template 
and what the MapScript loadMapContext() function requires, but this 
needs just slight modification of the XSL.

the map image files seem to be created with permissions varying,
apparently at random, so that sometimes they are displayed, sometimes
not.

I've checked the archives but not been able to fin this exact problem

Message-ID: <MON.26.SEP.2005.093105.0200.>

Hi all,

just for information...

I have discussed with Frank Warmerdam out of the list and these are the results:

It is able to get multispectral images with Mapserver WCS but We must take care for some parameters:

- the IMAGEMODE must be set to BYTE in the OUTPUTFORMAT object
- the ows_extent, wcs_resolution and wcs_bandcount metadata must be set  in layer metadata for tiled raster layers ( the ows_extent and wcs_resolution are not needed for single raster layer.)
- for tiled raster layers all filenames in tile layer must be valid (point to existing raster files) (there was my problem :) )

Thank  you, Frank

Stepan

I just intalled ms4w and managed to open the example map service from 
another machine by typing
http://jngis_port/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/gmap75_wms.map&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=river&REQUEST=GetMap

in the adressfield of  webbrowser where jngis_port is the machine with my 
mapserver.
Howewer when I tried to open the service in Gaia ( the carbon project) or 
in http://eu-geoportal.jrc.it/
gives me an error message.
Gaia works from localhost but not the geoportal. Gaia from my other machine 
gives me the names of
the layers but not the image.  both my machines are inside the same firewall.
Does any one have a hint what I should do ?

Thanks Jakob Nisell

Hi,

To convert coordinates I use for example:

http://www.icc.es/geotex/egeoutmcatala2.html (a geodesic calculator)

An example of GPS coordinates and results are:

42? 14' 54.568" - 4677448.415
2? 56' 20.526" - 494971.3073

42? 14' 58.548" - 4677573.222
2? 57' 37.05" - 496724.1829

The correct containers are the little yellow squares and displaced are de 
blue ones:

http://www.nusvirtual.com/selectiva

The coordinates are form the first two containers in top rigth side of the 
map. I think you are right because I tried to place manually the containers 
and coordinates are displaced, so, how could I convert correctly GPS 
coordinates to UTM?

Thank you.

Hi Fernando,

Here you are a sample polygon definition that gives me problems:

Hi Francesco,
    I'm fine, your wecolme for your e-mail.
    This error appear when you use a type definition for your layer that 
don't match for what Mapserver read from the source, for the problem 
that relate probably Oracle Spatial driver reconize as a line segment. 
Using the geometry definition that you sent I saw a problem, for 
compound polygons (SDO_ETYPE 1005)  this definition it's wrong, the 
first triplet indicates a SDO_GTYPE as 5, and this don't exist for 
default Oracle Spatial parameter. I checked it in user guide (9i and 
10g) and this SDO_TYPE don't appear in the table for SDO_ELEM_INFO.
    But exist a little information about this value for SDO_TYPE in the 
SDO_ELEM_INFO chapter in the user guide, this section below I take from 
user guide (10g):
        "...
            Note: The use of 5 as an SDO_ETYPE value for polygon ring 
elements in a single geometry is discouraged. You should specify 5 only 
if you do not know if the compound polygon is exterior or
interior, and you should then upgrade the table or layer to the current 
format using the SDO_MIGRATE.TO_CURRENT procedure, described in Chapter 17.
         ..."
    In this case I recommend that you test the SDO_MIGRATE function as 
user guide suggested. Here I did a little test with  your data and after 
apply the SDO_MIGRATE your geometry was draw correctly, you can check in 
this link:
       After MIGRATE : 
http://200.169.63.95/cgi-bin/map460?map=/home/apache/mapserv/maporaclespatial/maporaclespatial.map&mode=map&layer=99
       Before MIGRATE (as line): 
http://200.169.63.95/cgi-bin/map460?map=/home/apache/mapserv/maporaclespatial/maporaclespatial.map&mode=map&layer=98_line
       Befor MIGRATE: 
http://200.169.63.95/cgi-bin/map460?map=/home/apache/mapserv/maporaclespatial/maporaclespatial.map&mode=map&layer=98
    After the MIGRATE function:
      SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1005, 3, 1, 
2, 1, 9, 2, 2, 17, 2, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(717393,311, 96290,2075,

   To execute the SDO_MIGRATE I did:
      SQL> execute sdo_migrate.to_current('cola_markets', 'shape');

Hi Gerjan,

Thanks for answer.

I use Oracle 9i and the validation command does not give me any error.
About elem_info, I think that it right: it says that the polygon should have three list of segments:
- from coord at position 1 a list of line segments
- from coord at position 5 a list af arc segments
- from coord at position 13 a list of line segments

I think that the problem is on the first triplet into elem_info. If I specify "1,1005,3" instead of "1, 5, 3" mapserver works fine.
The problem is that I can't control that: I read data written by another system and I have many records with this problem.

Best regards

Francesco

  Francesco,

   

  From a quick look at your geometry I think that the problem is that it is not valid (but I might be wrong). Have you validated the geometry with the validation procedure from Oracle? The sdo_geometry of 2003 suggests a single polygon, but you Eleminfo does not. Try updating your sdo_geometry type to 2007 (multipolygon).

   

  Hope this helps,

   

  Gerjan

Nuri -

I used the US National Geodetic Survey's online calculator at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/utm_getut.prl and got different results for your first pair:

Northing: 4677368.307
Easting:   494970.715
Zone:		   31

The only datum choices are "NAD83" and "NAD27", and I got those results by choosing NAD83.

However, I also got exactly the same results using YOUR calculator and selecting the WGS84 datum.  Are you selecting the correct datum?  I selected WGS84 at the top, entered the first pair of coordinates, and got the answer above, not your answer below.

Are you using the calculator correctly?

Hi,

To convert coordinates I use for example:

http://www.icc.es/geotex/egeoutmcatala2.html (a geodesic calculator)

An example of GPS coordinates and results are:

42? 14' 54.568" - 4677448.415
2? 56' 20.526" - 494971.3073

42? 14' 58.548" - 4677573.222
2? 57' 37.05" - 496724.1829

The correct containers are the little yellow squares and displaced are de blue ones:

http://www.nusvirtual.com/selectiva

The coordinates are form the first two containers in top rigth side of the map. I think you are right because I tried to place manually the containers and coordinates are displaced, so, how could I convert correctly GPS coordinates to UTM?

Thank you.

Nuri

Hi All ,
 
I am a developing mapserver 4.60 with PHP.
 
My mapfiles has some polygon layers, Aerial Photos and Line layes.
 
One of Polygon layer which is Parcel Information covers the size of entire aerial Photos.
 
I want the Polygon layer (Hollow) and so that it can rest on the top of Aerial Photo.
 
I am also developing web application.
 
Could any one let me know, How will i be able to get the Polygon  Unfilled(Hollow) and resting on top of aerial Photo..
 
here is my Map File and the Order of the Layers is the one below..
 
 LAYER # All RASTER Layers TIFFIMAGE begin here ###########################

         MINDISTANCE 300
         BUFFER 0
     END # end of label//////////////      
    END
 END # layer ends here --------------- 
 
If i uncomment the OutlinecColor and comment Color , the selected layers becomes polyine.
 
And when i put Both of them uncommented, the shapefiles is filled polygon.
 
After that in the web application, the selcted layers is highlighted with filled polygon, But the aerial Photo becomes invisible, because Layer is Polygon and Filled.

 

I would really appreciate, if some one could have a solution on it.

 

Thanks in Advance..

Tom,

thanks for the link. The Caps2Context.xsl is in fact for WMS. There seem 
to be just some small discrepancies between the output of the template 
and what the MapScript loadMapContext() function requires, but this 
needs just slight modification of the XSL.

New to Mapserver and to this list. I've been doing some initial
development on IIS locally and now wanting to move to a remote (virtual)
host running Unix/Apache. Working OK except that the file permissions on
the map image files seem to be created with permissions varying,
apparently at random, so that sometimes they are displayed, sometimes
not.

I've checked the archives but not been able to fin this exact problem
described. Any help very welcome.

Use your OUTLINECOLOR variable only.  Put a comment before the COLOR
variables.

 

e.g. for green OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 0

If i uncomment the OutlinecColor and comment Color , the selected layers
becomes polyine.

 

And when i put Both of them uncommented, the shapefiles is filled
polygon.

 

After that in the web application, the selcted layers is highlighted
with filled polygon, But the aerial Photo becomes invisible, because
Layer is Polygon and Filled.

 

I would really appreciate, if some one could have a solution on it.

 

Thanks in Advance..

hi,
I don't quite understand, what you mean when you say that the layer becomes
a polyline, isn't that exactly what you're looking for ?
if you want an empty polygon , you do exactly as you said, defining the
"outlinecolor" and not "color".
cheers, tb

When we decided to add a routing extension to Postgresql, we tried 
several libraries, including dglib.
The boost library was found more efficient, and more flexible.
DGLib is used  by Grass

Hi Carlo,

We use both Mapserver and Image Web Server, but do not integrate them. Using
the WMS protocol, we integrate the images served from both services into our
applications. Things to be cautions of when using Image Web Server include
the fact that IWS will not project your data. It will only serve data in one
projection. On the other hand, IWS is lightning fast.

The following url's may help you down the road.

My Sample application using MapServer and IWS. (Turn on May Layer, British
Columbia, TRIM Orthmosaic(1.5Tb Image) and refresh)
http://libcows.gov.bc.ca/imfows13/imf.jsp?site=test

The IWS Service Capabilities Document:
http://libcows.gov.bc.ca/ecwp/ecw_wms.dll?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&service=wm
s
Image /bcalbers/bc_bc_xb1m_bcalb_1995_2003.ecw is used in the application
above.


Thanks,

Hello everybody,
anyone knows if ErMapper's Image Web Server is of any help with MapServer?
Has UMN Image Web Server alone the same capabilities of ErMapper?
Some people use these two applications together: I wonder why.

I know this question isn't specifically about mapserver, but I figured if 
anybody could answer this question you guys could.   I've been working with 
mapserver for 6 months or so now.   I started with no GIS knowledge 
whatsoever, but was assigned this project in my job and over time I've 
learned a lot about mapserver and mapping in general.    I very much enjoyed 
working on this project because it was so different from anything else I've 
ever done and would like to pursue finding a job where I could do more of 
this type of work and hopefully continue to learn more about it.    I was 
just curious what kind of a market is out there for this type of 
programming/application development and how I might be able to find out if 
any companies in my area are looking for people to do this kind of work?

Thanks!

Go to Monster.com and do a search on "ArcIMS".  You'll find plenty. 
I'm sure jobs are starting to surface there with "MapServer" as a
keyword.  Of course we want to promote MapServer so hopefully you can
find a company that backs OSS.  Maybe you can get your foot into an
ESRI based operation and slowly start weaning them off of ESRI and
onto OSS.

Good luck!

Dear all,

I'm still a bit of a noob to all this, but have the following problem:

I am trying modify the Gmap demo to form a template i can work with.
Currently it views a .tif (USA) and i would like it to view a .tif (UK) with
additional associated layers.

How do i work out the extents of my new layer (UK .tif)?

..and ensure that i do not just see a dot at the centre of the screen which
requires me to multi-zoom before it is visible and informative?
(min manx-scale - how do i know??)

Any help and suggestions greatly appreciated

Olly

Oliver,

If you have a TIFF file there are various external-to-mapserver
utilities you can use to get the extents.  I would suggest gdalinfo
if you already have that or can easily get it (ie. s part of FWTools
at http://fwtools.maptools.org/)

If you set the default extents to the extents for your image you
should be fine.  I usually start by setting MINSCALE to 0 and
MAXSCALE to 10000000.  You can always assign more reasonable
limits later once you have the basics working.

Good luck,

Hi !
I just intalled ms4w and managed to open the example map service from 
another machine by typing
http://jngis_port/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/gmap75_wms.map&SERVICE=wms&VERSION=1.1.1&LAYERS=river&REQUEST=GetMap

in the adressfield of  webb browser where jngis_port is the machine with my 
mapserver.
Howewer when I tried to open the service in Gaia ( the carbon project) or 
in http://eu-geoportal.jrc.it/
gives me an error message.
Gaia works from localhost but not the geoportal. Gaia from my other machine 
gives me the names of
the layers but not the image.  both my machines are inside the same firewall.
Does any one have a hint what I should do ?

Thanks Jakob Nisell

if you are using the gmap demo as you say, you can also see the extent
in the url as minx,miny,maxx and maxy. zoom in until you find a
comfortable view, and report these extent values in your mapfile

Subject: Is ErMapper's IWS helpful with MapServer?
Message-ID: <TUE.27.SEP.2005.031311.0500.FANENJI63LIBERO.IT>

We use IWS and UMN MapServer together.
Here you can view an example:
http://ecozero.liguriainrete.it/CartoWebIWS/CwMain.asp?CwContext=http://ecozero.liguriainrete.it/MapServer/tmp/691109366context.xml&CwContextCatalogo=D:\Inetpub\Eco-internet\mapfiles\vincoli\VincoliContextCatalogo.xml

We use the ecw plug-in to display the raster data served by IWS, while the
vector data is from a WMS served by MapServer.
The ecw plug-in has the abiliy to query remote gis server that can serve
data in gif/png/jpeg format, so it's easy to integrate it in a OCG/WMS
architecture.

The advantage of the plug-in is the high grade of interactivity, like Frank
said, similar to google maps.
The next version of IWS seem different and apprently more similar to google
maps, using tiling images and without the use of a plug-in (it's all done in
 javascript) here an example:
http://www.earthetc.com/maps/
As you can see it seem a google maps clone.

best regards,

Stefano.

hi list,
I want to make a signature for motorways with "SYMBOLSCALE 500000".
The signature is a big red line, beyond it a thinner yellow lone und above a
very thin red line.

with "SYMBOLSCALE 500000" it seems that there is only the first line scaled
and the other two lines are very big above it.

Best regards

Subject: How to create a legend icon that not clipped using mapscript
Message-ID: <TUE.27.SEP.2005.043953.0500.SZEKERES.TAMASFREEMAIL.HU>

Hi list,

Is it possible to create a legend icon that not falls out of the image
area using mapscript?
With classObj.createLegend it is not possible to give separate image size
and keysize (and starting point) so some of the images (eg. thick lines)
are clipped.
For using classObj.drawLegend the imageObj must be created from scratch
and the background color cannot be set, so the legends appear with black
background. Setting up imageObj as transparent could help for some images
but the others are drawn as a black rectangle.

Could anyone give a solution?


Thanks,

Tamas Szekeres

Tamas,

There is much more flexibility if you use html templates for the legend
which can be used in mapscript via map->processLegendTemplate.

Hi Ed,

I didn't used WGS84 first but I recalculate all my points again with this 
datum. Now displacement of points is greater than before they are more left 
and more down than before.

I think that original map from Institut Cartografic de Catalunya have the 
wrong UTM coordinates. I'll will try to obtain coordinates from the correct 
containers that appear in the map.

Do you know where can I obtain another map to compare coordinates?

Thank you.

Nuri

Hello,

I am trying to insert a legend image into a dynamically generated PDF
file. Using the mapObj.drawLegend() method, I can easily accomplish
this, but can't do much about the appearance of the legend. I would like
to have more control over the font properties, etc., and have tried
using the mapObj.legend.label settings, but haven't figured out how to
export out an independent image. I would appreciate any suggestions on
how I might generate a legend image over which I have some more control
with regard to fonts. 

Thanks, Bill

Bill,

Consider using classObj.drawLegendIcon() to create an image only and 
then do the text labeling with ReportLab or whatever.

try using the PROJ library and associated commands:

Have you tried adding a label object to the legend object in the map 
file? You can control fonts and some placement issues in there.

Raphael,

Did you find any tutorials in the end?

I've been trying to get MapStorer to function properly all afternoon! Some
bits are working, but import, preview and some others are not. I'd really
like to get these working.

If I can't get MapStorer to play ball, does anyone know of good web-based
mapfile editor? Your expertise is much appreciated.

Regards,
Xin

How can I create an empty imageObj with a certain background color in

Hi list,

After changing the layer drawing order programatically using mapscript,
the map is drawn properly but the legend image reflects the old layer
drawing order. Is this a bug or a feature?

Tamas,

My earlier suggestion was slightly off. classObj.createLegendIcon() 
will create an icon for the class, using the map's legend.imagecolor as 
the background color.

Sean,

It would be desirable to set the legend key image size smaller than the
legend image, otherwise some of the images will be clipped (eg thick
lines). classObj.createLegendIcon() does not support this separation.

This problem could be solved by creating the an imageObj with an empty
classObj using classObj.createLegendIcon(), and calling drawLegendIcon of
the layer's class with this previously created image and smaller size. But
it seems to be a hack.

Hi Peter,

If you haven't already come across it, the mapserver documentation is a 
great place to start: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc.html

If you're new to PostgreSQL and PostGIS (the extension to PostgreSQL 
that you will need to install in order to store and run operations on 
GIS data), the documentation available on these sites is also well 
written and helpful:

Postgres - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/

PostGIS - http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/

Good luck!

--Adam

Message-ID: <WED.28.SEP.2005.084223.0200.JENS.THIELEALPSTEIN.DE>

Hi,

we are currently evaluating mapserver (debian gnu/linux package version: 
4.4.1-2).
Is there a direct way to get line anti-aliasing and line widths smaller 
than one pixel?
At the moment we render the map at a higher resolution and afterwards 
scale it down.
(super sampling)

The problem with the super sampling aproach now is that font outlines 
vanish. Is there a way to incrase the outline size? (a workaround 
perhaps would be to use the output of mapserver as input again and 
render the labels in a second pass).

Feel free to point me at the relevant portions of the source code / docs.

Thanks
Jens

Hi,

You could try the OGR STYLEITEM AUTO option. But you need to split up your data probably in polygons, lines and points since Mapserver has this distinction at the LAYER level.

See:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc46/ogr-howto.html

Don't forget to add an empty CLASS END to your LAYER.

<http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/mapserver_demos/tests46/itemquery/test.html>
used to have a great example on itemquery, but it doesn't seem to work
anymore.

Here's my understanding of what you need to do.

Have QUERYMAP defined in your mapfile:
QUERYMAP
STATUS ON
STYLE HILITE
COLOR 255 255 0
END

Pass qlayer parameter with layer wanting to query. i.e. <input type=hidden
name=qlayer value=mylayer> or &qlayer=mylayer
Set qitem to attribute of qlayer wanting to query, and then set qstring to
value wanting to match.
i.e. &qlayer=mylayer&qitem=name&qstring=MatchName

You can optionally leave out qitem, and use qstring like this:
qstring=('[name]' = 'MatchName').

Hope this helps.

Xin

Hi list,

I want to give a layer TRANSPARENCY.

when I set TRANSPARENCY 85 ist more dark then TRANSPARENCY 25, but you still

We have no intention of there being a wiki into the future.

We're getting close to moving most things to the new website. Everyone needs to pitch 
in. Here, e.g., see <http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/link/thinutility> for where changes to 
thin.pl should show up.

Join in the fun!

Subject: [ANNOUNCE]: New GRASS 6 Translation Repository
Message-ID: <WED.28.SEP.2005.170536.0200.HOLLGDFHANNOVER.DE>

Dear FOSS GIS users,

[sorry for crossposting]

GDF Hannover provides a new Translation Repository for the GRASS 6
Tutorial!

As you may know, we publish tutorials on GRASS GIS under terms of the
GNU FDL (GNU Free Document License) for years. Translations into Czech
by Jachym Cepicky and English by Kerstin Holl are available to the user
community since a few months. 

Within the last weeks we were asked by many GRASS users from all over
the world, that they would like to translate the current tutorial into
Spanish and Italian. For this reason we now established a new
Translation Repository[1] based on subversion.  

	http://www.gdf-hannover.de/translation

We hope this is a further step to increase the popularity of GRASS GIS.
If you feel like supporting this portal, we would be pleased to
integrate you or your money to the portal. Further languages could be
added as well. 

We are running a mailinglist on which further information will be posted
to. If you are interested in contributing to the project please
subscribe[2] to this list to be up-to-date.

best wishes, 
	
	GDF Hannover

Subject: TILEINDEX EXPRESSION = Seg Fault
Message-ID: <WED.28.SEP.2005.111946.0400.SSCOTTGWI.NET>

Hello,
Recently we reorganized some data for map performance, and started using
the TILEINDEX Layer parameter.  I have noticed an issue with the
EXPRESSION parameter when used with TILEINDEX.
Here is the output from gdb ( debug enabled ):
 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread -1218562784 (LWP 4589)]
0x08065822 in msEvalExpression (expression=0x99f5b08, itemindex=0,
items=0x0, numitems=161833360)
    at maputil.c:106
106                      tmpstr = gsub(tmpstr, expression->items[i],
items[expression->indexes[i]]);
 
I'm not sure the best way to proceed from here.
I have noticed when I switch the map file back to using a shapefile with
the DATA Layer parameter, the problem goes away.
Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
 
Take Care.

Message-ID: <WED.28.SEP.2005.094759.0700.>

 I am new to Mapserver, deep in the learning curve.  I have a question that
I hope someone can answer.  If I add a Grid layer to the map file the map
draws the grid with no problem.  However, I need the grid to be displayed as
graticules, that is, distorted as lines of latitude and longitude are
distorted depending on the projection.  Instead the grid lines are all true
vertical, horizontal.  Is this possible?

Here is the Grid Layer in my mapfile:  

######################################

Hi Chip

You need the projection defined in your grid layer, if it is a different
projection than the projection of the map file.

Message-ID: <WED.28.SEP.2005.104301.0700.MATT0177GMAIL.COM>

I've been working on a mapserver/chameleon app for approx. 2 months now.
I've been working using a ms4w image on a win xp box. Now I'm getting ready
to deploy it on a server running red hat linux. Are there sites/docs out
there with a good general overview of everything ill need and tips on the
compiling.
 With so many parts to my ms4w image (gdal,ogr,proj4 etc.) I'm sure that
I'll forgot a few things and run into a few problems, so anything I could
read before hand would be a great benefit.
 Thanks,
 Matt

Matt,

you could try fgs (http://www.maptools.org/fgs/)

It is also possible (once you have fgs installed) to copy your ms4w/ 
apps and ms4w/httpd.d folders to your linux box and add an include in  
the apache config to include all the httpd config files from ms4w.

Then to make ms4w apps work out of the box, you only need to create  
an /ms4w/tmp and /ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp folder.

Cheers

Paul

I would love to, but server admin wants to use his apache and php installs.
Would it be easier to download the fgs, and re-point everything to use the
install of apache and php, or would that be more trouble then its worth.
 The server is quad processor, with 32 gigs of ram and could very well be
hit hard with usage, so I want to make sure everything is as stable as
possible.
 Thanks,
 Matt

The simplest alternative is to install FGS with its Apache running on 
port 8080, and then proxy to it from the main Apache server. All you 
need in this case is to add two lines to your main Apache server's config:

ProxyPass               /myapps/     http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapps/
ProxyPassReverse        /myapps/     http://127.0.0.1:8080/myapps/

The example above assumes that all your FGS apps are going to be 
published under http://your.server.name/myapps/, but you can change the 
URL path to anything you like.

We use this kind of setup to a lot and it is very stable and much easier 
to maintain than doing custom builds from scratch.

TRANSPARENCY is more like opacity.  TRANSPARENCY 1 is almost completely
transparent.  TRANSPARENCY 100 is completely opaque.  TRANSPARENCY 0 is
like not specifying TRANSPARENCY at all (completely opaque).  Funky,
huh?

Hi Leo-

For queryByAttributes(), your qstring can be a string even if your qitem
field is numeric.  Keep in mind that your query layer has to have a
TEMPLATE value (even the value "no template" will work).  Also, the
query only looks for shapes within the current extent of the map.  If
you want to query from all shapes, use setExtent() to set your map
extent to the extent of your query layer.

> Where can I find some examples?  

I pasted a quick (untested) example here:

Hope that helps,

Been a while since i set up a query but it looks like you are missing the qitem,
and qstring

<input type="hidden" name="savequery" value="true">
<input type="hidden" name="qitem" value="column in database">

<input type="TEXT" size="30" name="qstring" value=""> collects string to pass to
query

I am now attempting to do something similar to Kumar with one difference.

Instead of the shield with the number overlayed I need to have the shield on
the Interstate line in one position and the name of the interstate in
another position something like:


=====||========= Interstate 90 =======||======

Where the || is the shield symbol.  The annotation text is in a field called
"NAME" and the Feature name is in a field called "FEATURE".  I have the
following code in my map file (that works but not like I want it to - the
text overlays the symbol):

****************** start of code *********************
#--------------------------------------------- 
# Interstate layer 
#
LAYER
     NAME "interstate1"
     GROUP "roads"
     DATA "roadtrl020"

          END
          LABEL
               TYPE truetype
               FONT "arial"
               SIZE 8

               POSITION auto
               ANGLE auto
               MINFEATURESIZE 50
          END
     END
END

#--------------------------------------------- 
# Shield layer 
#
LAYER
    NAME "InterstateShield"
    Group "roads"
    STATUS on
    DATA "roadtrl020"
    TYPE ANNOTATION
    CLASSITEM "NAME"
    #LABELITEM 'NAME'
    CLASS
      EXPRESSION /Interstate*/
      COLOR 0 0 0 
      SYMBOL 'shield.gif'
      SIZE 15
      LABEL
       
      END
    END
  END

***************  end of code *******************

I have been able to fake it by setting the label color to 255 255 255 (same
color as the background, the size to 0, and an offst of 100 100 to get the
label out of the way.  Is there a better way to do this?  Thanks for your
help.

Hi! I am using Apache2-prefork (Debian package) and php4 -DSO(Dabian

migrate from php4.4 to php5.
I read some old issues about php_mapscript.so and php5 in mailing list.
Is still impossible to compile php_mapscript against php5 or the php5 
support is still in developement stage?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Fabio

I'm on a Debian like you.

I've built both mapscript 4.6.1 and php 5.0.5 from sources

For my tasks at my job, there is no problem using both.

I've installed php as CGI

Here is my PHP configure line:

./configure --enable-fastcgi --with-config-file=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/php.ini \
--with-gd=/usr --with-pdflib=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-zlib=/usr --with-pgsql \
--with-regex=system --enable-dbase --enable-dbx \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr --enable-versioning --with-mysql \
--with-ming

For MapServer:

./configure --without-tiff --with-jpeg=/usr --with-png=/usr --with-threads --with-proj \ 
--with-postgis --with-pdf --with-mapscript --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
--with-gd=/usr --with-freetype=/usr --with-ogr --with-wmsclient --with-wfs --with-wfsclient \
--with-php=/home/david/src/PHP/php-5.0.5  --with-geos --with-ming

For a better use and a first try, I think it's not worth using 'Flash Support' (--with-ming) and
  'PDFLIB Support' (-with-pdflib) if U don't want to have it

However, here is what I did to have it

Info: 
- PDFLIB version is 5.0.3. It is not yet supported (but I need it for my job)
    New versions from 6... are available so U can use it.
    Download it then ./configure && make && make install
    

- Ming has been built from CVS. In ming/util/read.h, replace 'static int gIndent;' by ' 'static int gIndent;' in order to compil it
    then 
          make
          make install
  Remove everything from your-php-sources/ext/ming/
  Copy everything from your-ming-sources/php_ext/ to  your-php-sources/ext/ming/
  Return to your php-sources directory
  cd your-php-sources/
  buildconf --force  
  Then
      ./configure .... .... --with-ming --with-pdflib=/usr/local

Regards

Hi,

Hope everyone's doing well. I've made a few posts to this list before and
haven't had any replies, it's worrying me a little bit. I hope someone would
reply this time!

So I've been experimenting with web-based mapfile editors recently, and have
found only two: MapEdit from MapLab, and Mapstorer. MapEdit seems fairly
functional, but a little sluggish. I liked Mapstorer's interface a lot, but
couldn't get it to work very well. Plus there's the fact it can't import
mapfiles!

Does *anyone* know any web-based mapfile editors? I'd like to hear any
suggestions. I've done a search on the archives and found very little.

Cheers,
Xin

Message-ID: <THU.29.SEP.2005.124256.0200.MANFRED.ZERNDLBVV.BAYERN.DE>

Does mapserver not take advantage of overviews calculated with 
"gdaladdo" when
the files are accessed with TILEINDEX?

I have 77300 TIFF-Files. Each of them has 2500x2500 Pixels and each is 
equivalent to one square kilometer
(Ground-resolution is 0.4 meters per pixel (1000 meters / 2500 pixels)).

(by the way, creating a Tile-Index with gdaltindex failed, becuase of 
the amount of comand-line parameters.
So I generated a tileindex-Shapefile for my own, calculated each 
bondingbox and used the tools "shpadd" and "dbfadd".)

For each of the 77300 TIFF-Files I generate overviews with the tool 
"gdaladdo"
(for example: gdaladdo -r average file77300.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 128)

Then I add the layer in the mapfile as following:

LAYER
  NAME "DOP"
  TILEINDEX "dop/dop.shp"
  TILEITEM "LOCATION"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
END

When I try with mapserver to view 200 meters with an image size of 500 
Pixel,
the response is reasonably fast, because mapserver do not have to scale 
the image
(the ground-resolution is 0.4 m/px).
But when I try to view 10 km or 20 km (kilometers) with an imagesize of 
500 pixel,
mapserver take a very long time to answer (up to 1 Minutes).

Does mapserver not take advantage of the precalculated overviews in the 
tiff-files generated with "gdaladdo"
when the files are accessed with TILEINDEX?

I have compiled mapserver on linux with  --with-gdal and --without-tiff !!

I think the ones you've found are the ones available, so unfortunately there isn't a better option right now. Most people edit MAP files by hand.

There are a few desktop options for the ESRI product line which have MAP file export options, i.e. gix (Arcview 3) and Amein! (ArcGIS).

Hi,

Hope everyone's doing well. I've made a few posts to this list before and
haven't had any replies, it's worrying me a little bit. I hope someone would
reply this time!

So I've been experimenting with web-based mapfile editors recently, and have
found only two: MapEdit from MapLab, and Mapstorer. MapEdit seems fairly
functional, but a little sluggish. I liked Mapstorer's interface a lot, but
couldn't get it to work very well. Plus there's the fact it can't import
mapfiles!

Does *anyone* know any web-based mapfile editors? I'd like to hear any
suggestions. I've done a search on the archives and found very little.

Cheers,
Xin

Thanks Bart, appreciate the reply.

I'll probably work with MapEdit in that case.

Message-ID: <THU.29.SEP.2005.133850.0200.FCLAUDELCSIR.CO.ZA>

Hi Manfred,
I think it's normal, and that viewing a footprint of 20km*20km will need to access around 400 files, then mosaic the overviews, which cannot be lightning speed.
I experienced the same slowdown when trying to open more than a dozen of file with overviews.

My solution is to create already mosaicked overviews, which I add as new layers into my mapfile. A minscale/maxscale helps choosing the correct layer.
Tell me if you need more details (maybe that approach is not what you're lokkin for)

cheers,
Frederic Claudel

Hi,

I have a shapefile containing a field representing RGB color in

Is there a way to define the dinamic (field based) color in the .map file?

Subject: Mapserver Extents
Message-ID: <THU.29.SEP.2005.135242.0100.OLIVER_ISHMAELHOTMAIL.COM>

Dear all,

Unfortunately, i'm still having the same problems with the extents. I used 
gdalinfo as directed to get the extents of my data layer (thanks for that!), 
however, when i enter these into my mapfile, the layer is still not visible.

Is there some kind a general guide for extents - i'm at a loss :(

Is the extent dependent upon any of the following: Min Max-scale; Scale 
units; or EPSG projection codes;

is there anyway to convert between coordinates and Decimal Degrees (and what 
general structure do these conform to...i have some cordinates which are 6 
figures and other mapfiles use 3 figure numbers for the extents).

Any help appreciated!

Cheers
Olly

Message-ID: <THU.29.SEP.2005.152412.0300.TOOMAS.AASRAAD.TARTU.EE>

Hello!

I'm currently running the following software versions on FreeBSD 5.3

MapServer 4.2.5
PHP 4.3.10
PROJ 4.4.9
GDAL 1.2.1
GD 2.0.33
FreeType2 2.1.7

MapServer and PHP/Mapscript were configured with the following command:

./configure \
     --with-freetype=/usr/local/bin/freetype-config     \
     --with-gd=/usr/local \
     --with-eppl \
     --with-proj=/usr/local \
     --with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
     --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
     --with-php=/usr/local/include/php

I have two instances of PHP on this machine - PHP CGI which is used for 
Mapscript and mod_php which is used for everything else. PHP CGI is 
configured with system regex and mod_php is configured with PHP's own 
regex. Everything seems to be working fine.

I downloaded Mapserver 4.6.1 and ran exactly the same configure command, 
followed by gmake. Adding the resulting php_mapscript.so to PHP 
extensions causes Apache to segfault immediately on load. I tried to 
read through the documentation and browse the list archives, but I can't 
seem to figure out what I should do differently to produce a working 
php_mapscript.so. The mapserv CGI, btw, works OK.

Holmand, 

It looks like you were using the old syntax for queries, with filter.  Randy is right, you need to use qlayer, qitem and qstring.  

Looking at your form variables, try:  

<input type="hidden" name="qlayer" value="Ciudades">
<input type="hidden" name="qitem" value="nombre">
<input type="text" name="qstring" size="30">   
<input type="radio" name="mode" value="itemnquery">
<input type="submit" value="Consultar">


You should remove FILTER and FILTERITEM from your layer definition.

David.

Been a while since i set up a query but it looks like you are missing the qitem, and qstring

<input type="hidden" name="savequery" value="true">
<input type="hidden" name="qitem" value="column in database">

<input type="TEXT" size="30" name="qstring" value=""> collects string to pass to query

Olly,

It is quite possible that extents are not your problem now.  I would suggest
you post a minimum sized mapfile that demonstrates your problem for
people to comment on.

Min and max scales can make a layer not appear.  Projections can have
a big effect.  If you are entering map extents then they should be in the
map projection, not the layer projection (if they differ).

Are you wanting to convert between projected coordinates and lat/long
decimal degrees?  MapServer can do this internally as needed when things
are declared properly in the mapfile.  If you need to do it at the command
line you can use the proj or cs2cs programs that come with PROJ.4.

Olly, 

The EXTENT is defined in the UNITS of the output projection, (the
projection block that you define in the MAP object of your mapfile).  

It sounds like you may have data layers that are in different
projections.  MapServer can display all of them together if you define
the projections properly in your map file.  To do this, define a
projection in your MAP object, this is the projection that you want our
output map to be in.  

Then, place a projection block in each layer, this should contain the
definition for the projection that the data layer is currently in.  

I am not sure what you mean by three and six figures.  I would suggest
trying to implement projections in your mapfile and if that doesn't
work, post relevant pieces of your mapfile to the list so we can look at
the specifics of your problem.  

David.

Dear all,

Unfortunately, i'm still having the same problems with the extents. I
used 
gdalinfo as directed to get the extents of my data layer (thanks for
that!), 
however, when i enter these into my mapfile, the layer is still not
visible.

Is there some kind a general guide for extents - i'm at a loss :(

Is the extent dependent upon any of the following: Min Max-scale; Scale 
units; or EPSG projection codes;

is there anyway to convert between coordinates and Decimal Degrees (and
what 
general structure do these conform to...i have some cordinates which are
6 
figures and other mapfiles use 3 figure numbers for the extents).

Any help appreciated!

Hi

Here is where I am at after reading all the posts with criteria of DEMO and IIS.

1.) I am running windows server 2003 with IIS.

Permission for
cgi-bin is read/execute scripts and executables
tmp is read/write

2.) my directory structure is

Manfred,

The gdaltindex program can also be used to add files to an existing
index, so it is also possible to write a little script to invoke it once for
each tiff file.  Of course your solution is fine too.  The tileindex files
are deliberately simple so that they can be generated in a variety
of ways.


> Does mapserver not take advantage of the precalculated overviews in the
> tiff-files generated with "gdaladdo"
> when the files are accessed with TILEINDEX?

Frederic's analysis was exactly right.  The problem is that accessing
many TIFF files invoves quite a bit of overhead and this is what is
killing you.  My suggestion would be to generate enough overview
levels in the TIFF files to handle up to roughly the point at which a
map view is going to show 9 files.  Above that you should consider
having a single overview file.

So a 500x500 view on a 3x3 set of 2500x2500 files would need 15:1
decimation.  So I would generate the 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x overviews
and then look at generating a merged overview layer at the 32x
resolution.  So this merged overview layer would have a resolution of
12.8/pixel.  Such a merged file for your whole region would be roughly
1.4GB according to my calculations.  A managable size for a TIFF file.
Then make sure you add overviews on that.

The key thing to keep in mind is that these sorts of overview layers are
only really necessary when it helps avoid accessing alot of files for one
map view.  I would add it would be helpful to merge your tiles into bigger
files.  For instance, if you merged 8x8 sets of your tiles into single TIFF
files then you could add three more levels of overview in the base files
and reduce the required resolution of your overview layer correspondingly.

WS2003 has more protection. Its not good enough to make a folder 
executable, the mapserver program needs to be "registered" with the OS.

Hi Holmand

I am guessing that you could try working with the input type(HTML programming) or
use on of the other languages available such as PHP. The programers on the list
most likly can give you examples.

Along those lines, is it possible to "assign a variable" based on the content of a field in the .dbf file?

I was hoping to control text rotation based on values read from the shapefile.

Hi James

Use the lableangleitem in your layer.

LABELANGLEITEM "database field"

Dear all,

I have a question about the behaviour of groups in a WMS. When I define 
2 layers belonging to the same group, I see both layers nested under the 
same group layer in the capabilities file.

But I can only access the group as a WMS layer from a client. When I 
want to access the single layers belonging to that group I get an 
exception. That is in principal ok, but client programs might allow to 
select the single nested layers and the map will not be displayed 
because of the exception. Also the reason for grouping layers is quite 
often to have layers with different accuracy/resolution that should be 
swapped depending on the scale. So this should happen behind the scenes 
without the client noticing it.

So my question is, why are the layers belonging to the same group 
displayed at all in the WMS capabilities if they cannot be used as 
single ones? Would it not make sense to just return the group as a WMS 
layer instead?

Armin

Message-ID: <THU.29.SEP.2005.132334.0600.SCLARKCOUNTY.LETHBRIDGE.AB.CA>

Frank,

When you have some time could you investigate this problem.

Generally speaking if I create a tile using GDALTINDEX for a group of
ECW
Raster images that overlap, I cannot draw the raster tile index.

However If I convert the ECW files to Geotiff and then create a tile 
Using GDALTINDEX using your FWTOOLS then I am able to draw the raster
layer.

Also, Is there anyone else that has seen this problem.


Thanks
Stephen

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Problem with display of raster backdrop
-- ECW files with overlap


Hi,

I am working on a mapserver application to display ECW orthophotos for
Southern Alberta where the orthophotos have overlap. 

I have created a tiled index layer for these orthos and am having
problems during the draw cycle when the orthos are turned on.

I have attached the layer file from mapserver:

LAYER
  NAME ecw_2003_tile
  TILEINDEX "e:/data/ecw_2003_index.shp"
  TILEITEM "location"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
  TRANSPARENCY 60

  CLASS
	NAME "COLA 2003 Orthophotos"
  END

  METADATA
    WMS_TITLE "COLA 2003 Orthophotos"
    WMS_ABSTRACT "N/A"
    WMS_SRS "EPSG:26912"
  END

END


I have been able to draw the ortho layer when "zoomed in" to only one
ortho sheet that is visible but not when an ortho overlaps with another
ortho.

I am using MS4W and have tested this config with MS44 and MS46 with both
app crashing.


Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this problem.

Stephen,

I have fixed a signicant but in GDAL with the ECW driver that would
occur at the point ECW (or jp2) files are closed.  It seems possible
that this is the problem that is afflicting you.  If so, updating to the
latest gdal code from CVS would help.

However, it is hard to know if that is the issues.

Best regards,

Hi all,
A developer at my office has written the following PHP wrapper to hide
the location of mapfiles. I have seen .asp scripts to do this but no PHP
scripts have been brought to attention until now so I thought I would
present this to the community for feedback. 

I have tested this briefly.
Any comments anyone?

Armin,

  In Mapserver if you have 2 wms layers that are in the same group you 
should be able to do a GetMap request using he group name  but also on 
the individual layers. You should not get an exception for trying to 
fetch an individual layer belonging to a group.

Armin,

I've been thinking about this too. In your case, I think it is a WMS 
client bug: you should be able to access any Layer no matter how deep 
it is nested.

Windows uses \ for its directorys and you have / which is a unix thing.

Someone had posted this awhile back and it works nicely.  Credit goes to

Hope this helps.

Hi Shanti

All I can do is to give you few changes/infos between commands for PostGIS > 0.X.X..

I try give few information for PostGIS+Geos+Proj+PostgreSQL but I think you know it already ;-)

If I tell a mistake here, thanks to make/give a better info ;-)

First thing to knwo is that postgis geo data are not storing in WKB format
but in WKB format for PostGIS >= 1.0.0. So please see information from PostGIS Web Site at
http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch04.html#RefObject...Once you have upgraded your data
in order to see these in your pgtool like pgadmin3, you will have to use a fonction like
AsEWKT(the_geom) to see WKT format...

POSTGIS:

For PostGIS < 1.0.X, I've had to open postgis-0.X.X/Makefile and I did USE_GEOS=1 and USE_PROJ=1

Nowadays you have to use ./configure with a few option..that's the second difference!

Then for upgrading from 0.8.2 to 1.0.X I don't want to do a mistake. So it's better 
for you sending a e-mail to postgis-mailing-list to know if there will be a problem or not. 
Because I don't know how huge are your data..I don't want to be responsible for an error ...Thanks!

POSTGRESQL:

Since july, PostgreSQL has been frozen for beta test for 8.1...Personnaly, I test it on my personal computer but for a stable
work (if it is your case) it's better for you using 8.0.3 

MAPSERVER and PHP:

MapServer 4.6.1 and PHP 5.0.5 worked for me! (I'm on a Debian...)...PHP built as a CGI as usual!


example for PostGIS 1.0.4 + PROJ 4.4.9 and GEOS 2.1.4:
#
# Create a directory for sources to download
#
export PATHSOURCES=${HOME}/${USERNAME}/sources
mkdir -p ${PATHSOURCES}
#
cd sources
#
#  PROJ will be as you know wil be install in /usr/local
# So ensusre that /usr/local/bin is in your ${PATH}
# Actually yes!
#
wget ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/proj-4.4.9.tar.gz
tar xvzf proj-4.4.9.tar.gz
cd proj-4.4.9
./configure && make && make install
#
# GEOS will be as you know wil be install in /usr/local
#
cd ..
wget http://geos.refractions.net/geos-2.1.4.tar.bz2
tar xvjf geos-2.1.4.tar.bz2
cd geos-2.1.4
./configure && make && make install
#
# Be careful to have /usr/local/lib in your file /etc/ld/so/conf
#
cat /etc/ld.so.conf | grep ^'/usr/local'
#
#  Or else
#
echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf 
ldconfig
#
#  Test if proj is installed by doing
#
proj
#
# that will send you somethin like 
#
Rel. 4.4.9, 29 Oct 2004 ...
...
#
#  Test if geos is installed by doing
#
geos-config --version
#
# 
# that will send you something like 
#
2.1.4
#=======================================
#   POSTGRESQL
#
# If U install PostgreSQL on a new machine
#
#  delete dependes/install postgresql if it has been isntalled by rpm
rpm -qa postgresql 
rpm -e postgresql 
rpm -e --nodeps postgresql
#
#  Download PostgreSQL sources from www.postgresql.org
#   and install if
#
cd ${PATHSOURCES}
wget  ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/source/v8.0.3/postgresql-8.0.3.tar.gz
tar xvzf postgresql-8.0.3.tar.gz
cd postgresql-8.0.3
configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-multibyte --with-CXX --enable-nls [...others options...]
#
# Notice:I install postgresql in /usr/local in order not to have my PATH ;-) by adding /usr/local/pgsql
# Then as usual make && make install
make
make install
#==================================================================
#  POSTGIS
#
cd ${PATHSOURCES}
wget  http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-1.0.4.tar.gz
tar xvzf postgis-1.0.4.tar.gz
cd postgis-1.0.4
configure --enable-autoconf --with-geos=`which geos-config` --with-proj=`which proj` \
--with-pgsql-src=${PATHSOURCES}/postgresql-8.0.3
make
make install

===================================================================

MAPSERVER and PHP

Install curl, gdal, pdflib and so on as u are used to doing it

Personaly I used old version:
- curl 7.10.5
- gd 2.0.15-1
- gdal 1.2.0
I think on Red Hat there are already rpm availablefor these!


Regards.

Subject: Free Canadian Roadmap Data
Message-ID: <FRI.30.SEP.2005.003357.0400.WARMERDAMPOBOX.COM>

Folks,

A set of national roadmap data has been made available for free
here in Canada.   It is roughly of similar quality to TIGER/Line in the USA.

  http://geodepot.statcan.ca/Diss/2006Dissemination/Data/FRR_RNF_e.cfm?language=E&format=A

I made this data available in Shapefile format as a torrent at:

  http://geotorrent.org/

I see after digging a bit that there was already roadmap data available
at http://geobase.ca/, and I am not clear on how this new data release
relates to that.

Best regards,

Hi,
I have compiled mapserver 4.6.1 in windows xp with gdal 1.3.0 and mrsid
support. Mapserver runs ok with shapefiles, with raster which datasource is
a mrsid file but it crashes (premature end of script headers) when the layer
is configured with a tileindex:

With the TIFF-dataformat you can set "rows per strip" (rps) to a 
user-defined value.
(1) What is better, setting "rps" to a small value, maybe 1 or a big 
value ?  Or is irrelevant for the performance?

When I have a TIFF-File with  20 000 x 20 000 Pixels, I think mapserver 
should be faster
when the tiff-files have a small rps-value.

(2) Do I need special generated TIFF files, so that mapserver
is able to load a small section from a big TIFF-File?


Regards,
Manfred

Manfred,

If you set the "rows per strip" to 1, then MapServer can extract
overviews reasonably efficiently by only pulling out the scanlines
it needs.   So, for wide files that is my suggestion.

A better approach than stripping is to use tiling within the TIFF file.
Commands like the following will convert your GeoTIFF file to tiled
organization and build overviews.  This is pretty much optimal for
fast mapserver rendering at different resolutions.

gdal_translate -co TILED=YES in.tif out.tif
gdaladdo out.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64

Hi,

i write xml file for implement quanta, kwrite and kate editors syntax!

With this file you can look your map file more easy!
?
Try it and send me a comment!

How to:

Take the file 'map.xml' at this url

http://www.faunalia.com/download/map.xml.tar.gz

?and put it in one of this direcotry:

usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax 
or in the 
[home users] ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax

Here you can a small 'how-to' for kate sintax:

Here is a way to make railroad symbols without using any special characters
for the cross-tie part.

 

# Tick mark for railroad ties...

SYMBOL

  NAME "railroadtie"

  TYPE CARTOLINE

  LINECAP BUTT

  POINTS 1 1 END

  STYLE 1 20 END

END

 

# Basic line symbol for track centerline

SYMBOL

  NAME "line"

  TYPE ELLIPSE

  FILLED TRUE

  POINTS

    1 1

  END

END 

 

LAYER

  NAME "Railroad"

  STATUS ON

  DATA "railroads"

  TYPE LINE

  CLASS

    STYLE

      SYMBOL "line"

      COLOR 0 0 0

      SIZE 1

    END

    OVERLAYSYMBOL "railroadtie"

    OVERLAYCOLOR 0 0 0

    OVERLAYSIZE 5

  END

END

Does anyone know how to clone an imgObject in Mapscript?  I need to make a
copy of an imgObj to use with pasteImage, so the original image remains
unchanged.  Is this possible?

Thank you in advance,

Note GeoBase contains no address / street name information so this is a 
very big step forward in terms of getting generally useful free 
geographic data in Canada.

My understanding is that there is a general effort to bring the geobase 
road data and the stats can road data together heading towards the 2011 
Census.

You're right. I cannot reproduce that exception any more so it might 
have been related to a mis-configuration of the server or the client 
test request.

But still I think that the MapServer GROUP definition should not be 
broadcasted via WMS getCapabilities as set of different layers by 
default. So one can use internally any logic one intends to. For me 
scale-depending layers of different accuracy/resolution grouped together 
with GROUP seem important. But a client should just see one layer.

The mechanism of grouping and nesting layers should be performed via 
separate tags, like currently already the WMS_LAYER_GROUP, but also with 
possibilities that this group is selectable.
