Bruno -
 
Could you post the EXTENT statement you're using?  Two things to check -
UNITS DD should be there (should not affect this problem, however) and
your EXTENT needs to be in the order MINX MINY MAXX MAXY, so it should
be:

EXTENT -48.0004159 -25.0004164 -46.5004159 -24.0004163
 
Your image is 1.5 degrees wide (X dimension) and 1 degree tall (Y
dimension) so your output image size should also be that shape (600
pixels wide by 400 pixels high, for example) or you will see the map
shrunk to fit the shape of the image.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Image location inside its corner
coordinates


I have a DEM image of which below I've copied the gdalinfo output. 


Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Size is 1800, 1200
Coordinate System is:
GEOGCS["WGS 84",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",
        SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.2572235630016,
            AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]],
        AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]], 
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
    UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]]
Origin = (-48.000416,-24.000416)
Pixel Size = (0.00083333,-0.00083333 )

Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  ( -48.0004159, -24.0004163) ( 48d 0'1.50"W, 24d 0'1.50"S)
Lower Left  ( -48.0004159, -25.0004164 ) ( 48d 0'1.50"W, 25d 0'1.50"S)
Upper Right ( -46.5004159, -24.0004163) ( 46d30'1.50"W, 24d 0'1.50"S) 
Lower Right ( -46.5004159, -25.0004164) ( 46d30'1.50"W, 25d 0'1.50"S)
Center      ( -47.2504159, -24.5004163) ( 47d15'1.50"W, 24d30'1.50"S)
Band 1 Block=1800x2 Type=UInt16, ColorInterp=Gray
  Overviews: 450x300, 225x150, 113x75, 57x38


I could take from it the EXTENT to use in my Mapfile using the Lower
Left and Upper Right coordinates. But the problem is that the image is
to small inside this coordinates and I can't find the image location
inside then by this output. Is there some other utility to get this
coordinates?
