Layer Overviews

[Ed McNierney]

You don't configure it.  As long as your MapServer binary is using GDAL
support to read GeoTIFF files, GDAL will look for and automatically use
the overviews.  For a given map request there will be a certain input
raster resolution desired.  GDAL will use the lowest-resolution overview
that is not lower in resolution than the requested resolution.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Layer Overviews


Hi, 
I have successfully added internal overviews to a GeoTIFF image, which
had its size increased from 270mb to 370mb, but I'm not finding where in
the map file layer object where I configure this overviews. 

In order to create the internal overviews I've used the gdaladdo
program.

Any hint would be really appreciated!
