Message-ID: <WED.1.FEB.2006.110829.0100.E.WITTEVEENHAWARIT.COM>

Currently i'm working on a way to provide the user the possibility to 
define his own layer in mapserver.

Basically this means that the user can define a sql query and provide a 
theme which defines the way it is shown in the map(the class information 
from the layer)

For this i first tried to make a mapfile which used database values for 
the "keys", apparently this could not be done.
Currently i'm writing a wms-server in php, since i want to add layer 
information to the result(it needs a additional query and style 
parameter that create a new layer, further it just works like a "normal" 
wms-server).

I have the idea that i'm not solving this problem the correct way. Can 
anyone give me some pointers on this?

Thanks Wim,

this did the trick.
It works if I use gif and annotations/text in grey.
Unfortunately is the text rather unreadable, so I consider using WFS and XSL 
for KML translation.

If I use png I get an error message in Google Earth "Unsupported image 
format".
This could be related to the poor graphics card in my notebook, ref.
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/101072/Main/98160
I'll try it out with better HW also.

I use Miller projection (epsg:54003) in my shapefiles.

cheers

I have opened up bug 1637 for this.

Subject: drawQuery for a single layer
Message-ID: <WED.1.FEB.2006.154329.0100.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

Hi there,

as far as I understand the php-mapscript manual, it should be  
possible to highlight only a single layer upon a query. In my case it  
highlights at least two. That is, if the user draws a rectangle, then  
in the next map the country boundaries touched and included by the  
rectangle will be highlighted as well as the points (for cities for  
example). How can I avoid this and limit the highlighting to only one  
single layer?

In the moment I have this:

				$image_map = $map -> drawQuery();
				$url_map = $image_map -> saveWebImage();

I would have thought it should be more something like this:

				$mapLayer = ...specific layer...;
         		    	$image_map = $map -> $mapLayer -> drawQuery();
				$url_map = $image_map -> saveWebImage();

But that does not work.

Thanks for any help!

All,

Just to mix it up a bit.  (and it's probably been said already, I can't 
believe I just came up with it)

How about :

"Open Geo Foundation"  -  OGF

I didn't do any comprehensive searches, but a quick Google doesn't turn 
up anything confusing for OGF

It's short, not cute at all, says it all, and seems to address 
everything I've read this morning.

Hello, i am beginner with Mapserver and OGIS (and my english also, sorry for
that).
I have read some informations around WFS, WMS and WCS.
I think it is possible to ask to a OpenGis server (so, mapserver) to get
features informations using a xml request file. It is in GML format, if i
understand, and it looks like:
<wfs:GetFeature service="WFS" version="1.0.0" outputFormat="GML2" ...various
namespaces...>
    <wfs:Query typeName="..
        ...
</wfs:GetFeature>
(found on the web).

Am i wright ?
Is it possible, i only found documentations around mapscritp, or
Php/mapscript ?
What is the coverage of the OGC specification in mapserver ?

Really great thanks.
Ricaille Tanguy.

Hi,

I got a tip from Haavard Tveite, which does the trick for transparent png 
output:

OUTPUTFORMAT
     NAME PNG24
     DRIVER "GD/PNG"
     MIMETYPE "image/png"
     EXTENSION PNG
     IMAGEMODE RGBA
     TRANSPARENT ON
     FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=NO"
   END
   IMAGETYPE png24

FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=NO" is the keyword.

thanks Haavard.

cheers

Hi:

 

I have a line shapefile consisting of city streets that I am trying to
label based on the attribute of street name.  I can get the labels to
appear but I am wondering how to get them to draw according to the line
angle.  That is, is there a way to get the street name (label) to draw
along side the street (line)?  Just wondering if there is a way to
automatically get the label to draw as same angle of the street as my
streets run at many different angles.....

 

Code for layer follows:

 

#layer   ******* Kingston city streets *******

      LAYER

        NAME "StreetOutlines"

        STATUS ON

        DATA "Kgn_roads_section"

        TYPE LINE

        MAXSCALE 750

        LABELITEM "road"

        LABELCACHE ON

        CLASS

          NAME "Outlines"

          STYLE

            COLOR 255 255 255

            MINWIDTH 4

          END

          LABEL

Message-ID: <WED.1.FEB.2006.095818.0500.ADOYLEEOGEO.ORG>

History question - who put WMS into MapServer?

I poked around and found this 2001 version of Mapserver WMS HOWTO
http://web.archive.org/web/20020616043906/http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/wms-howto.html

Was it version 3.5 that was the first version with WMS?

I'd like to learn a bit more about when it happened, who pushed for
it, who wrote the code, what the thinking was back then, etc. I think
open source implementations of OGC specs have significantly helped
foster adoption of those specs.

Thanks,

  Allan

Yes, if you have an attribute like AREA, then you can
   FILTER "([AREA] > nnnn)"
where nnnn is some value.

Mark,

You have to use

    TYPE TRUETYPE

for the font type.

Yes it's possible, but the XML for the request is not called GML. The
reponse of a WFS is in GML, but the request is defined by the WFS 1.0
specification (you can download that from the OGC site).

More info on the Mapserver website:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_server

Mapserver supports:
-WMS client and server (not WMS 1.3 though)
-WFS client and server (not WFS 1.1 though)
-WCS server 1.0

Best regards,
Bart

For some soil maps that we are planning on using, having the ability to 
describe the few visible classes, out of perhaps 30 total, based on 
visibility would be a great feature.

Ted,

 Sorry for the late answer.  You should use 0.2a on windows. I had built 
the 0.3 but It never worked properly.
 Sorry I did not find anything useful for your error " definition of 
dllimport function not allowed"

Subject: checkbox alignment in html legend
Message-ID: <WED.1.FEB.2006.125219.0600.CJESCHCCT.LSU.EDU>

Hi list,
 
I have been playing around with the html legend and I am faced with a
problem that I hope is only a minor one. I simply want to align the
checkboxes for the layers on the very left hand side of the table in the
main html template.
 
This is the entry in my main template for the html legend:
 
   <tr>
    <td colspan="4" align="left" >[legend]</td>
   </tr>
 
 
Here is the legend template:
 
[leg_layer_html order_metadata=legend_order opt_flag=2]
<tr>
 <td align="left"><input type="checkbox" name="layer"
value="[leg_layer_name]" [if name=layer_status oper=eq value=1]CHECKED[/if]>
</td>
 <td colspan="3" >[metadata name=legend_title]</td>
</tr>
[/leg_layer_html]
 
 
Do you see any mistake? align="left" doesn't seem to work.....

Subject: Rasters and world files and extents, oh my!
Message-ID: <WED.1.FEB.2006.120310.0800.DBADKEUVIC.CA>

I am confused...

I have a raster image, 10540 pixels wide by 6740 pixels high, non-Geo 
TIFF. The specified units in the map file are meters. I created a world 
file:

1
0.0000000000
0.0000000000
-1
0.00
0.00

meaning x co-ordinates increase moving right, y coordinates decrease 
moving down, from top-left pixel at x=0, y=0, with 1 pixel/meter (ie: 
the raster image is 10.54 km wide by 6.74 km high, in world coordinates).

Through trial and error, with many blank output images, I found this 
extent setting (in the map file) produces a correct image, generated 
through a simple PHP MapScript:

EXTENT 0 -6739 10539 0

PHP is:

if (!extension_loaded('MapScript'))
    dl('php_mapscript_46.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);
$oMap = ms_newMapObj( '/ms4w/apps/kamap/htdocs/map/vicbird1878.map' );
$oImg = $oMap->draw();
$szURL = $oImg->saveWebImage();
echo "<img src=$szURL>";

While this produces the image I expect, the y coordinate is always 
negative for any x, y point, which is a problem for me - and anyway, I 
don't understand why miny has to be -6739. So I tried a world file like:

1
0.0000000000
0.0000000000
1
0.00
0.00

and an extent like:

EXTENT 0 0 10539 6739

thinking that both x and y coordinates would be positive and increase 
from x=0, y=0 (upper left) to x=10539, y=6739 (bottom right), which is 
what I want. Doesn't work - the image is blank.

So can someone explain in simple terms for the 
cartographically-challenged just what the relationship is between the 
world file and the extent minx, miny, maxx, maxy? If minx, miny is the 
upper left pixel, and the world file says that the upper left pixel is 
x=0, y=0, why doesn't EXTENT 0 0 10539 6739 refer to the entire image? 
Why does a miny value of -6739 in the extent work if the top left is 0,0 
and the y pixel size is -1? Sooooo confused...

Indeed.  To clarify the "ANGLE auto" in your label is the method of  
drawing the lables according to the line; however it only works with 
TrueType fonts.

Note that if your Mapserver is running on a Unix machine then it may not 
be configured to support TrueType fonts 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/compiling_on_unix/#freetype-support)

I found that using Mapserver on windows, you need to write mapserv.exe not
just mapserv.  For example:
<form method=POST action="/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">

I'm used to being in that state....

The world file contains the top left geographic coords & the offset for (or
size of) each pixel in map units. Your Y will always count down from this
value, so a world file that has the top left corner as 0,0 will have
decrementing Y's, hence negative, and increasing X's. 

If you want your image to have the bottom left corner at 0,0, then a world file
specifying a top left of 0,6740, with a per pixel Y offset of -1 will count
down the Y axis to 0 for you.

Your mapfile extent will need to recognise this, and cover from 0,0 to
10539,6739.


At least that's what I think you want to do....

David -

The last two lines of the world file are the coordinates (x, y) of the
upper-left pixel.  The coordinate system for addressing pixels assumes
the normal Cartesian x-increases-to-the-right, y-increases-going-up
sense.  Since the world file specifies the coordinates of the UPPER left
corner rather than the LOWER left corner as one would expect in a
traditional Cartesian plane, the delta-y value is normally negative.
That means that the y sense is y-decreasing-going-down, which is, of
course, the same as saying y-increases-going-up.  You're just counting
top to bottom, so the numbers go down (negative increment) rather than
bottom to top (positive increment).

Imagine a Cartesian plane with an x axis and a y axis, crossing at (0,
0).  Your first world file places your image in the lower-right
quadrant, with the upper-left corner at the origin.  All x coordinates
on the image are positive, and all y coordinates on the image are
negative.

Your second world file creates a y-increases-going-down sense, which
will confuse you no end.  It takes the first scenario and reflects it
about the X axis.

It sounds like what you want to do is translate (i.e. slide) the image
from the lower-right quadrant to the upper-right quadrant, so both x and
y are positive.  You want to move the image "up" by its entire size, so
you want to add 6740 to its y coordinate.

Adding 6740 to the y coordinate of the upper left corner simply means
changing the last line of your original world file to be 6740 instead of
0.  You don't really need all those spurious 0.00000000 values in there
- just plain 0 works fine <g>.  If you do that all your y coordinates
will be 6740 greater than they were before, and they will all be
positive, with the LOWER left corner of the image at (0, 0).

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters and world files and extents, oh

I am confused...

I have a raster image, 10540 pixels wide by 6740 pixels high, non-Geo
TIFF. The specified units in the map file are meters. I created a world
file:

1
0.0000000000
0.0000000000
-1
0.00
0.00

meaning x co-ordinates increase moving right, y coordinates decrease 
moving down, from top-left pixel at x=0, y=0, with 1 pixel/meter (ie: 
the raster image is 10.54 km wide by 6.74 km high, in world
coordinates).

Through trial and error, with many blank output images, I found this 
extent setting (in the map file) produces a correct image, generated 
through a simple PHP MapScript:

EXTENT 0 -6739 10539 0

PHP is:

if (!extension_loaded('MapScript'))
    dl('php_mapscript_46.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);
$oMap = ms_newMapObj( '/ms4w/apps/kamap/htdocs/map/vicbird1878.map' );
$oImg = $oMap->draw();
$szURL = $oImg->saveWebImage();
echo "<img src=$szURL>";

While this produces the image I expect, the y coordinate is always 
negative for any x, y point, which is a problem for me - and anyway, I 
don't understand why miny has to be -6739. So I tried a world file like:

1
0.0000000000
0.0000000000
1
0.00
0.00

and an extent like:

EXTENT 0 0 10539 6739

thinking that both x and y coordinates would be positive and increase 
from x=0, y=0 (upper left) to x=10539, y=6739 (bottom right), which is 
what I want. Doesn't work - the image is blank.

So can someone explain in simple terms for the 
cartographically-challenged just what the relationship is between the 
world file and the extent minx, miny, maxx, maxy? If minx, miny is the 
upper left pixel, and the world file says that the upper left pixel is 
x=0, y=0, why doesn't EXTENT 0 0 10539 6739 refer to the entire image? 
Why does a miny value of -6739 in the extent work if the top left is 0,0

and the y pixel size is -1? Sooooo confused...

Thanks! Now THAT is clear! I actually tried setting the "origin" to 
bottom left as you suggest (ie: 0, 6740), but that caused other 
problems. Now that I understand why y is negative, I can deal with it.

If you only want features from one layer highlighted, then only query that
layer. Drawquery only highlights features that are 'selected'. What does
your query look like?

You could compute and store feature area in the attribute table and then filter on it. E.g.

  FILTER ([area] > 1000)

Hi group,

I've got a problem using Java mapscript V4.6.2 on a 64bit machine (AMD 
Opteron) and SuSE 10.0, since the JNI libmapscript.so is not found although 
it's there. On a 32Bit machine everything works fine with the same OS, Java

anyone solved a similiar problem before? Who can help me?

Are you using 64bit version of the OS? If  yes did you recompile

Try to give the -r option to ldd.

Subject: smoothness of feature borders
Message-ID: <THU.2.FEB.2006.020917.0800.B.VDEIJNDENAGI.RWS.MINVENW.NL>

Hi list,

just reporting back something which had never struck my eye, but which I
noticed when comparing Mapserver's WMS output to Ionic's WMS output, is that
the output from Ionic is a lot smoother with respect to feature borders. Is
this due to GD?

The Mapserver image is at:

The Ionic image is at:

Best regards,
Bart

Are you using a 64 bit JVM?

Sorry. Here a copy for the group again:


Yes, I am using the 64bit Version of SuSE 10.0 Linux-distr and I also 
recompiled mapserver several times with different configurations. There is no 
problem with tools like shp2img, thus the libmap.a seems to be good.

That's a good hint. /usr/bin/java is not linked against 64bit libraries, so I 
will try to install a 64-bit jvm and start it again.

Thank you,

Subject: drawQuery for a single layer
Message-ID: <THU.2.FEB.2006.064228.0600.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

But how exactly do I "select" layers that should be queried. It's a long time ago that I wrote that
code, so I hardly remember how I have done it....

The query code looks something like this:

  //Get the Layer being queried
  $Layer = $map -> GetLayerByName($lyr_name);
  $data_nm = $Layer -> data;
  $data_pth = $map -> shapepath;
  $shpPath = $data_pth."/".$data_nm;

                ......

  $numResults = $Layer -> getNumResults();
  $oLayer = $map -> getLayer($Layer -> index);

  // Open layer's table... take the list of fields to display from
  // the "HEADERRESULT_FIELDS" metadata in the layer object.
  $oLayer -> open();

                 .......

Don't know if this helps. I still feel irritated to see that in this code it queries a single layer, but
that the drawQuery later than highlights (at least) two layers (probably all displayed ones).

Hello Umberto,

indeed it was the 32-bit JVM. Upgrade to 64-Bit Java 1.5 works.

Thanks a lot. Your hint saved me many hours.

Subject: WFS DescribeFeatureType response: xsd namespace?
Message-ID: <THU.2.FEB.2006.053351.0800.B.VDEIJNDENAGI.RWS.MINVENW.NL>

Hi list,

I am currently comparing Mapserver's OGC interfaces to Ionic's OGC
interfaces.

When looking at the Mapserver DescribeFeatureType response, Mapserver does
not use the xsd namespace in the response, whereas Ionic does.

An example output from Mapserver is (excerpt only):

<schema targetNamespace="http://www.ttt.org/myns"
elementFormDefault="qualified" version="0.1">
<import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengis.net/gml/2.1.2/feature.xsd"/>
<element name="AAA35" type="myns:AAA35_Type"

An example output from Ionic is (excerpt only):

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.ionicsoft.com/wfs"
elementFormDefault="qualified" version="0.1">
<xsd:import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/gml"

    <xsd:complexContent>
      <xsd:extension base="gml:AbstractFeatureType">
        <xsd:sequence>
        ..

So, I tried to get some confirmation about who is right or wrong by checking
Geoserver, but funnily enough this gives a third option, since Geoserver
uses xs as the namespace :-):

<xs:schema  targetNamespace="http://www.minvenw.nl/rws/agi"
xmlns:rwsagi="http://www.minvenw.nl/rws/agi"
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"

attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="1.0">
<xs:import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
schemaLocation="http://145.50.148.45:8082/geoserver/data/capabilities/gml/2.
1.2/feature.xsd"/>
  <xs:complexType xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
name="V_TOP50NAMEN_Type">
    <xs:complexContent>
       <xs:extension base="gml:AbstractFeatureType">
         <xs:sequence>
         ..

Who is right or wrong?

Bart

The Ionic image is anti-aliased, the Mapserv one is not.
Notice that the file size of the Ionic image is ~3* greater.

Mapserv does not appear to support anti-aliasing, except for
text and symbols.
(http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0411&L=mapserver-users&D=0&I=-3&X=638C7737989424DD73&P=75934)
However, GD supposedly does have anti-aliasing 
(http://www.boutell.com/gd/manual2.0.33.html).

Hi list,

can ESRI .lyr files (classification for grid data) be used by Mapserver for
classifications? Most likely not, but in that case does somebody know of any
conversion scheme?

Thanks in advance.

I think you are solving the problem correctly. At least I've taken the same
route for solving this problem. The easiest way to go about it is to define
a .map file with all the information in it you want--even a "false"
layer--to start with. Then in PHPMapscript replace the values that change
dynamically, like the layer data source and bounding box. This way you don't
have to do all the styling in your code.

Hi,
Another tip that might help you:
I had some problems when the extent of my GE (Google Earth) viewer was much
wider then my mapfile extent. Ge could not load mapserver's png getmap
image. To fix that, all wms calls to my mapserver wms service are redirected
to an my cocoon server (xml based server) which restricts the wms extent
before fetching the wms getmap image from mapserver. Works good!

Demo: Click on the GE link at the bottom this page to get the kml (wms
Mapserver based) service (prototype site)

http://ntserv.gis.nrcan.gc.ca/cocoon/ngwd/services/featureCollection/app-map?locale=en&REQUEST=GETFEATURE&FEATUREID=ca.nb.gov.wmslayerref.23139&SESSION=Public

FYI, here is my mapfile output format:

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME png
  DRIVER "GD/PNG"
  MIMETYPE "image/png"
  IMAGEMODE PC256
  EXTENSION "png"
  FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
  TRANSPARENT ON
 END
TRANSPARENT ON

     Path-following labels function (MapScript)


As part of a larger project to help implement a high-quality labeling
system for MapServer, I've written an alpha-level Mapscript function,
label_layer_wpft(), which will draw path-following text labels,
returning it as a GD true color image which you can then overlay onto
your map image.



Here are some sample images of it in action:

The good:
http://img171.echo.cx/img171/7012/good13fx.gifhttp://img191.echo.cx/img191/8636/good21nf.gif

The bad:
http://img152.echo.cx/img152/4066/bad0yq.gif

And the ugly:
http://img152.echo.cx/img152/2049/ugly3uq.gif


To use the function, include it in your main mapscript routine.
The format for it's use is as follows:

  $mylabelimage = label_layer_wpft(  MAP, LAYER_NAME, LABEL_FORMAT);

  where MAP is a map object, LAYER_NAME is a string containing the name
  of the layer you wish to label, and LABEL_FORMAT is a string containing
  the format of the label (similiar to the TEXTITEM field in a map file).

For instance, to create a label image for a layer called "anno_roads",
with labels comprised of the street name (STNAME) and street type (STTYPE)
fields, use:

 $road_labels = label_layer_wpft($map, "anno_roads", "[STNAME] [STTYPE]");


You can then overlay this image onto your map image using the appropriate
GD functions.

It creates labels for a single layer by performing a query for the current
map extent against that layer, and then comparing each result to each
class within the layer.  It then uses each class's label attributes
(such as font, font size, and color) to draw the path-following label.

To optimize labeling, the function will automatically combine features
with common endpoints and common labels into a single feature.

Currently, there are quite a few limiations with this function:

   First of all, it only recongizes classes within a layer using the
   CLASSITEM feature only (i.e. each expression must be a regular
   epxression which is compared to the CLASSITEM).

   It only uses the class label's font, font size, and font color
   attributes -- it ignores all of the other label attributes (such
   as position, background color, border color, antialias, buffer, etc.)

   The function only does a rudimentary check to see if the label will
   fit on the feature.  Currently, the label is automatically centered
   along the feature's length, and no collision detection is done with
   other labels.

   The font name used in the labeling does not use the map's font file--
   hence the font name used for each class must be the actual true-type
   font filename (without the .ttf).  For instance, to label with
   the font arial bold, use "FONT arialbd" in your map file.


Like I said, the function is pretty basic so far... but I plan to make
a lot of improvements as time allows.

If you make any improvements you'd like to share, or have any questions
about the function or how to use it, feel free to let me know.

Without further adieu, here are the functions:

Bart,

Jeff is right that Ionic is antialiasing the polygon edges.

For those with poor eyes like me, I have prepared
zoomed in views of Bart's images to see the effect
up close.

  http://www.gdal.org/tmp/bodem50_close.png
  http://www.gdal.org/tmp/mapserv_close.png

Note that the ionic (bodem50) image has a smeary
effect between abutting green polygons? This is also
an effect (mostly undesirable in my opinion) of the
antialiasing.

That said, it would be nice if we could antialias polygon
edges too.  GD does have some degree of support for it,
though we might need to use polygon edges drawn as
lines and anti-alias those.   But I don't think this ought to
be the default due to size, and imprecision of results (IMHO).

Best regards,

I've just installed postgresql 8.1.2 with postgis 1.1.0 and map server 4.4
which works fine with shape files but when I try to access a postgis layer
I get this error message: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption

I can't figure out what?s wrong!!

I've defined the layer as follows:

Does anybody knows what is wrong?

Hi Luis,
I have a simmilar setup. I notice that my DATA element is a little different
than yours. Ive included my layer def below. I was originally having
problems with the DATA element. Using :

>>DATA "the_geom from bt.hotspots_modis_2005"
returned nothing.

However after adding "as foo using unique oid using srid=42304" to the
expression, all worked well.

Perhaps your case is simmilar.

Regards,
Jeremy

Message-ID: <THU.2.FEB.2006.190319.0100.STOCKSLL33YAHOO.CO.UK>

Hi there to the list.

I have succeeded in downloading SRTM and Landsat from the GLCF, VMAP 
Level 0 from the web and processing them in GRASS. I have done the same 
with Geonet names from NIMA with the help of a pythin script an internet 
buddy wrote for me.

I am now trying to incorporate the label names into my Mapserver 
application. Can anyone help? I have a problem with the below MAP file. 
When I run Mapserver on my PC (standard Windows download version) I 
receive this message:

loadLayer(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (LAYER):(line 88)

Is the MAP script wrong here? I am a newbie to MAPserver.

For whatever help anyone gives I will be very grateful.

Regards,

Jeremy Stocks.

Here is the script. The problem area is the bold italic section.......

 Hello;
  
 i have problem such that i  have feature data i want to query it ,  i have succeeded to do the  query and i get a good result , after a while i needed to use PostGis  so i stored the data in postgres Sql.
  
  now when i query the data i get something like this.
  
          ID  ELEM_TEXT  OwnerID  ID_Cord  ID_Cor_tex      1  [ID]  [ELEM_TEXT]  [ID_Cord]  [ID_Cor_tex]    2  [ID]  [ELEM_TEXT]  [ID_Cord]  [ID_Cor_tex]    3  [ID]  [ELEM_TEXT]  [ID_Cord]  [ID_Cor_tex]    4  [ID]  [ELEM_TEXT]  [ID_Cord]  [ID_Cor_tex]    the same query string gives me a good result if i change the connection type "without postgis"
  
  is it a problem with mapserver or with postgis

You just discovered one of the many MapServer quirks. Use lowercase on 
your attribute tags, i.e. [id] instead of [ID], [id_cor_tex] instead of 
[ID_Cor_tex].

Subject: On the fly conversion for compressed raster images
Message-ID: <THU.2.FEB.2006.133616.0700.VINCENT.TROISICOLORADO.EDU>

I have raster images in zip, gzip, and/or tar format. I want to render 
these files via an html
application and provide WMS services using MapServer 4.6, having the 
application
automatically unzip, untar, uncompress the raster on the fly and either 
convert
to a geotiff or use some other utility to present a png, jpg, or other 
standard format
to the WMS client or the MapServer browse application. Any ideas you have
on an approach that will allow me to maintain the storage of the raster 
images
in their current packaging (zip, gzip, tar, etc.)?

Thanks,
Vince

Vince,

There is no support in mapserver for this currently.  Depending
on how badly you want to do this, I can think of a couple
options.

 o Some operating systems have special filesystems that
    can make .zip files (and possibly .tar.gz) look like a
    subdirectory.  If you can get the operating system to do
    the work, it should be fine with MapServer.

 o It would be theoretically possible to implement a "special
    filesystem handler" in GDAL to address this but it would
    require some coding.  Once done it would still only work
    for file formats that work entirely through the "VSI*L" API.
    This is the same mechanism I use for memory based access
    to files with GDAL.   Let me know if you want to follow up
    on this option.

But ultimately your desire to operate from compressed archive
files just seems like a bad idea not work the headaches to make
it all work.

Best regards,

Subject: jbox - map image problem
Message-ID: <THU.2.FEB.2006.152840.0600.NEELIMA_UMNYAHOO.CO.IN>

Hi,
I am working with jbox and followed all the instructions given in the
documnetation. Now my problem is i am not able to visualize the map image
in the browser/web interface and a red cross is given in the topleft
corner of the image box.But, i can see that the map image is stored in the
temporary folder ms_tmp which is under htdocs folder of apache webserver.
And also if i give the normal html statement for the map it is viewed in
the browser, so i feel that there is some problem with applet code, but
unable to find where it is. so, please can any one help me out.It will be
very very helpful fo rme , if any one can find a solution for this.
thanking u inadvance,

Hmm. Would it be much work to get mapserver to pass through named
styles to other WMS-servers? I have several WMS-layers in my mapserver
map file, and it's a bit of a pain to create a separate layer for
every style the other WMS-server can offer.

Hi All,
Just undertaking some research here.
Trying to figure out if there is a method of dynamically moving a point on
the map WITHOUT requiring a full map image refresh.
I stumbled across the iBoatTrack sample a while ago and that did pretty much
what I'm looking for. I know that I could use SVG to perform this task, but
are there are other methods via mapscript or javascript that could perform this?
Cheers,

Greetings,

I am using the DHTML (old landview template) interface to mapserver, and was 
wondering if there is any way to intercept user clicks on the map itself: 
either via javascript or PHP. I would like to do a spatial query in a 
PostGIS-enabled DB with each user click, but so far have not been able to 
find the right "hooks" for doing so. 

I have a sneaking suspicion that it will require some asynchronous HTML 
voodoo...

Any thoughts?

I also have a similar problem. Don, did you come up with a good solution?
I'm still new to mapserver and have not delved into the indexing
capabilities yet. Can someone enlighten me?

Here is my situation:
I have a map set up that displays cadastral data as well as other layers
such as streets and points of interest.  From PHP I query the map by
attribute for a taxlot ID.  The map layer itself is set to the full extent
of the data, and uses the parcel layer multiple times to show the query
results, as well as for other symbology purposes.  When the lot is found the
map zooms to the extent of the results.  The data extent covers an entire
county so the layers are fairly large, and the map takes awhile to draw.

The questions:
In all cases the final extent is pretty small, maybe 1 square mile max.
Should I be tiling my parcels layer with the shp2tile/ogrtindex combo and
then creating a shptree on the resulting index? OR Should I just create a
shptree on the parcels layer as well as all the other layers?  Will the
shptree help when doing an attribute query, or do I need to find a different
solution for speeding up the attribute query?  Any recomendations on how to
speed things up?

In addition I am serving up aerial photos.  I have a 1Gig MrSid, but don't
really want to get into building mapserver from scratch to add the
functionality.  So my though was to convert the SID to 2500 8Meg TIFF's, and
then run a gdaltindex on them, then maybe a shptree on the index. Is this a
sound plan? Other options? Does anyone have experience with the speed
differences of MrSid vs. TIFF?

Thanks for the help!

Eric,

Here is how you should optimize mapserver:

1) every *.shp file should have a shptree index, (ie: a corresponding 
*.qix) if you haven't done this then don't think about anything else. 
This includes on all TILEINDEX shp files also.
2) If you have large numbers of objects that you need to do attribute 
queries on consider using postgis for just those layers.
3) I will let others comment on rasters and how to optimize them
4) Set "DEBUG ON" in the mapfile and create a LOG file, then do a 
typical mapdraw and look at how long each layer took to draw. Then tell 
us about that if it is not obvious how to fix that performance issue.
5) As a last resort, if you have REALLY HUGE shapefiles and they are 
drawing very slowly then consider using shp2tile, but talk about here on 
the list first.

Let us know if this helps and what your problems are after you have 
tried this.

Subject: Visualizing Point Data
Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.020618.0500.BILLBINKO.NET>

Hi everyone,

I posted a fairly specific question to the GDAL-dev list (and more on IRC)
the other day, asking for input on how to do Kernel Density mapping using 
an OGR data source and sending the raster back through GDAL to be 
displayed through Mapserver.

I got some good responses, one of which was: are you sure that's what you 
want?  Well, to be honest, I don't know.  So I'm posting a more general 
question here, hoping that someone in this larger audience has solved the 
problem I'm facing.

What I'm trying to do is visualize point data (stored in PostGIS, but that 
can change) so that users can determine where the points are concentrated, 
even while zoomed out.  One caveat is that the points can be coincident 
(identical Lat/Long).

For example, I'd use this with include recent real estate sales data -
condos in the same building have the same shape, but both sales should
count.  Similarly, in a customer counting scenario, two customers with the
same address (even only to the building level) will geocode to the same
lat/long.

When Mapserver serves up Point layers directly, the results can be quite 
disappointing (and misleading).  In Mapserver, the last Point to be drawn 
on any spot will just hide the previous points, often hiding multiple data 
points.

Similarly, when you zoom out on a point diagram, there are two options: 
either you set the symbol to have a max size (so that eventually, they 
become "less than clear"), or you keep the symbol size constant, 
eventually obliterating the background with huge blobs of overlapping 
points.

When I tried to tackle this problem, I turned to a Real Estate Geography 
book I have (written by professor Thrall at my alma mater)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195076362/sr=1-2/qid=1138949940/ref=sr_1_2/104-4827941-6490312?%5Fencoding=UTF8 

There, he is discussing Site Selection and Customer Spotting methods, 
and he discusses the Kernel Density method of generating a surface map 
showing where the customers live.  The discussion is brief, but the GDAL 
folks pointed me to two tools (parts of R and GRASS respectively) that can 
take points and generate kernel surfaces.  With some magic, contour maps, 
and other visualizations could be pushed through GDAL and into Mapserver.

However, with further inspection, these methods all work on distance 
between customers, which causes a problem with coincident points.

I am thinking that this problem must have been solved by someone out in 
this audience, so at this point, I'm very open to suggestions.

I am very willing (and fairly able) to implement any custom software the 
solution my require.  I have considered filters between GDAL and OGR, or 
stand alone processing that generates the needed data.  I'm also very 
happy to feed it back to the community, if there's interest.

(So, basically, I will trade working code for modeling/GIS/statistics
knowledge if anyone's interested :)

Thanks,

Bill

Hi,

there's a way to optimize attribute search time in mapserver?
I.E.: i have a 17MB dbf (with its shp file) of streets with names.
Mapserver isn't fast: a search on an Athlon 3400+ and 2GB RAM
ends in 6 seconds, which is unacceptable for us.

Is there any way to improve the time? 1-2 seconds would be good.

 interface
Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.021305.0600.MHSVAJ.DK>

Hi,
The trick is to catch the x,y pixel coords from the user click on the
mapserver generated map image, translate them into world coords of the
projection you are using (or lat/lon) and then generate a sql and fire that
against the database server. This is the approach which the dhtml interface
called AppForMap on mapuse.net is using. It uses a small javascript called
libs/getClickPosition.js (in the cvs tree) to insure cross browser support
for the click. The sql query and all the coord translating stuff are done on
the server using php.

There is actually no need for asynchronous HTML voodoo, you could reload the
whole page for every click, but in these AJAX times this is not considered
cool. So therefore AppForMap also support asynchronous javascript and xml in
the next version, which I believed is to be released this weekend.

Subject: Mapserver not working in IIS, it DOES work command-line
Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.115636.0100.BAASSPEERIT.NL>

Hello everyone,

After a lot of struggling with my maps, I finally have a test 
envirioment up and running. Now I'm moving the whole lot to the server, 
and this gives me a huge problem. When I try to generate a map, I am 
presented with:

CGI Error

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set 
of HTTP headers.

The querystring is good, as is the mapfile (since it all works on my 
test machine).

Info:
  - Windows Server 2003, IIS6.0, fully updated
  - Oracle Mapinfo package from http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/.
  - Works in cmd (mapserv.exe "QUERY_STRING=mode=map&map=cocon.
map&mapext=-70000+280000+400000+630000&mapsize=640+480&layers=netherlands" 
 > test.jpg)
  - I set rights for everyone to full control
  - IIS CAN execute even unknown CGI files.

I'm out of ideas here. Can anyone help? If I at least had a normal error 
message...


Thanks in advance,
Jelmer Baas

Hi Jelmer,
    In Oracle case, you need the Oracle environments (ORACLE_HOME, 
ORACLE_BASE...) for the user that runs IIS. Another point is that you 
need the Oracle Call Interfaces installed in machine. The last issue for 
Oracle is that you need permission, for the user that run IIS, to access 
the Oracle home installation, just a read mode can be.
    Best regards.

Hi,

try something like this:

where, $map:mapObj

  ...
$lay = $map->getLayerByName( "NICHEAD2" );

$cls = $lay->getClass(0); // works only if the class is the first defined
$cls->setText( "Your new text" );
...

You may get problems with the alignment of the text in the image but other 
attributes of the classObj can be changed similar.


Cheers,
Oliver

Given that you are already using PostGIS,  you should know that R can
be integrated into PostgreSQL as well using PL/R.  That being said,
this could also just be an exercise in writing some functions in
PL/PGSQL so that you could just query that function from Mapserver.

Just brainstorming here, but you could possibly calculate a buffer for
each point and for each cluster where there is an intersection (this
would include coincident points) and then clump points together where
the buffers overlap and place the point at the average x,y while
creating a count at the same time.  You could then symbolize by this
count so that you know a blue dot contained one point while a red
point contained 5 data points.  You might try throwing this question
out to the PostGIS list and see what you get there.

Whatever you figure out, I would be very interested to see.  Please
post back to either this list or the PostGIS list when you get
something figured out.  On my list for the near future is to get this
type of algorithm in Javascript to work with GeoRSS so that I can
place points from a GeoRSS while clumping the data together.

Great synopsis, Bill. I'm looking forward to learning more about this.

One very simple-minded solution that MapServer *should* support is  
drawing points with a low (say 10%) opacity, and simply painting them  
over each other in an additive way. Currently, MapServer has  
transparency only at the layer (not feature) level, and so this will  
not work. I haven't had a real need for this yet, and so I haven't  
been able to justify the cost of developing it.

cheers,
Sean

I'm not sure if this should be posted here or not, if not please point me to
the right place.

I'm having trouble with tile4ms opening the files from at least one of my
Metafile.txt files.
The command I run is as follows:

tile4ms Metafile.txt tileindex

error is:

Aborted. Unable to open
SHP:/var/mapping/tiger_2005/PriRoad/tiles/PriRoad_0037.200_-105.400

I thought maybe my filename was too long, but I checked the source, 255 is
the max.  So I'm OK there.

ogrinfo has this to say about the file:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm running mapserver version 4.6.0, should I upgrade to 4.8.0?

The shape is a small file, 50K, so I can provide it if need be.

thanks

I have no idea, and I can't see why it should... it is just a 
well-behaved C program. But who am I to day -- I didn't even know there 
was something called Windows 2003 (I am assuming that was what came out 
in 2003).

All that said, wouldn't it be just easier to tell us if you are 
experiencing any incompatibility problems? Unless you are trying to do a 
preemptive strike. My suggestion -- put it on and see if it works, and 
if it doesn't then report the errors.

Bill,

I'm assuming this probably is a problem because the algorithm divides by 
the distance causing a divide by zero. If you can detect the coincident 
points you could randomly add some noise to their locations so they are 
not mathematically coincident and then the clustering would be reflected 
in the Kernel Density.

Another idea would be to remove the coincident points and replace them 
with a single point with an attribute of how many points were at that 
location. Then see if it is possible to modify the Kernel Density 
algorithm to use the attributed clustering to modify its output. Or do 
the kernel density and overlay it with symbols reflecting the multiple 
points. So your would get a kernel density raster with varying radius 
dots reflecting the coincident points where the radius reflect the 
number of points.

I think the former is a better way to go, and you can adjust the noise 
value to get results that reflect what you are trying to show.

Anyway some additional ideas to think about.

Subject: MapServer 4.8.0 released
Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.102920.0500.DMORISSETTEDMSOLUTIONS.CA>

Good Morning,

MapServer 4.8.0 has just been released. The source package is available 
in the download area of the website and you can expect compiled binaries 
to become available shortly at the usual locations:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current/

Since the creation of the MapServer Technical Steering Committee in 
August, new features are now tracked via RFC documents. You can browse 
the complete list of RFCs at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc

The relevant RFCs for this 4.8 release are:

  * MS RFC 2: Creating line features and/or shapes using WKT
  * MS RFC 3: Layer Plug-in Architecture
  * MS RFC 4: MapServer Raster Resampling
  * MS RFC 5: MapServer Horizon Reprojection Improvements
  * MS RFC 6: Color Range Mapping of Continuous Feature Values
  * MS RFC 8: Pluggable External Feature Layer Providers

Once again, all the details are available in the RFC documents at the 
URL above.

Another important enhancement in this release that is not documented in 
a RFC is the support for fuzzy brushes which allows producing 
antialiased thick lines when ANTIALIAS TRUE is set in a STYLE. For more 
details look for the "Fuzzy brushes and antialiased lines" thread in the 
mapserver-users list archives.

This release also includes a large number of small enhancements and bug 
fixes that didn't deserve their own RFC. I have included a copy of the 
list of changes/fixes since 4.6 from the HISTORY.TXT at the end of this 
message.

  DM Solutions Group              http://www.dmsolutions.ca/
------------------------------------------------------------


Version 4.8.0 (2006-02-02)
--------------------------

- Treat classindex as an int instead of a char in resultCacheMemberObj to
   prevent problems with more than 128 classes (bug 1633)

- Fixed possible crash with default content-type and POST requests.(bug 
1628)

- Known issue: MapScript queryByAttributes() creates wrong WHERE clause on
   postgis layers in some cases (patch available, see bug 1629)


Version 4.8.0-rc3 (2006-01-25)
------------------------------

- Add gml:lineStringMember in GML2 MultiLineString geometry (bug 1569).

- Move gBYTE_ORDER inside the pg layerinfo structure to allow for 
differently
   byte ordered connections (bug 1587).

- Close file handle when saving symbolset.

- Fix the memory allocation bug in sdeShapeCopy (Bug 1606).

- Fixed OGR WKT support (Bug 1614).

- Finished implementation of OGR Shape2WKT function (Bug 1614).

- Added shapeObj::toWkt() and ms_shapeObjFromWkt() to PHP MapScript (bug 
1466)

- Detect/add -DHAVE_VSNPRINTF in configure script and prevent systematic
   buffer overflow in imagemap code when vsnprintf() not available (bug 
1613)


Version 4.8.0-rc2 (2006-01-09)
------------------------------

- Commit fix for GD on win32 when different heaps are in use. (Bug 1513)

- Correct bound reprojection issue with ogc filer (Bug 1600)

- Correct mapscript windows build problem when flag USE_WMS_SVR was
   not set (Bug 1529)

- Fix up allocation of the SDE ROW_ID columns and how the functions that
   call it were using it. (bug 1605)

- Fixed crash with 3D polygons in Oracle Spatial (bug 1593)


Version 4.8.0-rc1 (2005-12-22)
------------------------------

- Fixed shape projection to recompute shape bounds. (Bug 1586)

- Fixed segfault when copying/removing styles via MapScript. (Bug 1565)

- Fixed segfault when doing attribute queries on layers with a FILTER 
already
   set but with no FILTERITEM.


Version 4.8.0-beta3 (2005-12-16)
--------------------------------

- Initialize properly variable in php mapscript (Bug  1584)

- New support for pseudo anti-aliased fat lines using brushes with variable
   transparency.

- Arbitrary rotation support for vector symbols courtesy of Map Media.

- Support for user-defined mime-types for CGI-based browse and legend
   templates (bug 1518).

- mapraster.c: Allow mapresample.c code to be called even if projections
   are not set on the map or layer object.  This is no longer a requirement.
   (Bug 1562)

- Fix problem with WMS 1.1.1 OGC test problem with get capabilites dtd
   (Bug 1576)

- PDF : adding dash line support (Bug 492)

- PostGIS layer test cases and fix for broken views and sub-selects (bug 
1443).

- SDE: Removed (commented out) support for SDE rasters at this time.  As 
far
   as I know, I'm the only one to ever get it to work, it hasn't kept up 
with
   the connection pooling stuff we did, and its utility is quite limited in
   comparison to regular gdal-based raster support (projections,
   resampling, etc) (HB - bug 1560).

- SDE: Put msSDELayerGetRowIDColumn at the top of mapsde.c so things
   would compile correctly.  This function is not included (or necessary)
   in the rest of the MS RFC 3 layer virtualization at this time.

- WFS : TYPENAME is manadatory for GetFeature request (Bug 1554).

- SLD : error parsing font parameters with the keyword "normal" (Bug 1552)

- mapgraticule.c: Use MIN/MAXINTERVAL value when we define grid position 
and
   interval (bug 1530)

- mapdrawgdal.c: Fix bug with nodata values not in the color table when
   rendering some raster layers (bug 1541).

- mapogcsld.c : If a RULE name is not given, set the class name to 
"Unknown"
   (Bug 1451)

Version 4.8.0-beta2 (2005-11-23)
--------------------------------

- Use dynamic allocation for ellipse symbol's STYLE array, avoiding the
   static limitation on the STYLE argument values. (bug 1539)

- Fix bug in mapproject.c when splitting over the horizon lines.

- Fix Tcl mapscript's getBytes method (bug 1533).

- Use mapscript.i in-place when building Ruby mapscript, copying not 
necessary
   (bug 1528).

- Expose maximum lengths of layer, class, and style arrays in mapscript (bug
   1522).

- correct msGetVersion to indicate if mapserver was build with MYGIS 
support.

- Fixed hang in msProjectRect() for very small rectangles due to round off
   problems (bug 1526).


Version 4.8.0-beta1 (2005-11-04)
--------------------------------

- Bug 1509: Fixed bounding box calculation in mapresample.c. The bottom 
right
   corner was being missed in the calculation.

- MS RFC 2: added OGR based shape<->WKT implementation.

- mapgdal.c: fixed some mutex lock release issues on error conditions.

- MS RFC 8: External plugin layer providers (bug 1477)

- SLD : syntax error when auto generating external symbols (Bug 1508).

- MS RFC 3: Layer vtable architecture (bug 1477)

rasters
   (bug 1506).

- WMS TIME : Add suuport for multiple interval extents (Bug  1498)

- Removed deprecated --with-php-regex-dir switch (bug 1468)

- support wms_attribution element for LAYER's (Bug 1502)

- Correct php/mapscript bug : initialization of scale happens when
   preparequery is called (Bug 1334).

- msProjectShape() will now project the lines it can, but completely
   delete lines that cannot be projected properly and "NULL" the shape if
   there are no lines left. (Bug 411)

- Expose msLayerWhichShapes and msLayerNextShape in MapScript. (bug 1481)

- Added support to MapScript to change images in a previously defined
   symbol. (bug 1471)

- mapogcfiler.c : bug 1490. Crash when size of sld filters was huge.

- Fixed --enable-point-z-m fix in configure.in (== -> =) (bug 1485).

- Extra scalebar layer creation is prevented with a typo fix in mapscale.c.
   Good catch, Tamas (bug 1480).

- mapwmslayer.c : use transparency set at the layer level on wms client
                   layers  (Bug 1458)

- mapresample.c: added BILINEAR/AVERAGE resampling options.

- mapfile.c: avoid tail recursion in freeFeatureList().

- maplegend.c: fixed leak of imageObj when embedding legends.

- msGDALCleanup(): better error handler cleanup.

- Modified msResetErrorList() to free the last error link too, to ensure
   msCleanup() scrubs all error related memory.

- Fix in msGetGDALGetTransform() to use default geotransform even if
   GDALGetGeoTransform() fails but alters the geotransform array.

- Typemaps for C# to enable imageObj.getBytes() method (bug 1389).

- Enable -DUSE_ZLIB via configure for compressed SVG output (bug 1307).

- maputil.c/msAddLine(): rewrite msAddLine() to call
   msAddLineDirectly, and use realloc() in msAddLineDirectly() to optimize
   growth of shapeObjs. (bug 1432)

- msTmpFile: ensure counter is incremented to avoid duplicate
   temporary filenames. (bug 1312)

- SLD external graphic symbol format tests now for mime type
   like image/gif instead of just GIF. (bug 1430)

- Added support for OGR layers to use SQL type filers (bug 1292)

- mapio/cgiutil - fixed POST support in fastcgi mode. (bug 1259)

- mapresample.c - ensure that multi-band raw results can be
   resampled. (bug 1372)

- Add support in OGC FE for matchCase attribute on
   PropertyIsEqual and PropertyIsLike  (bug 1416)

- Fixed sortshp.c to free shapes after processing to avoid major
   memory leak. (bug 1418)

- fixed msHTTPInit() not ever being called which prevented msHTTPCleanup()
   from properly cleaning up cUrl with curl_global_cleanup(). (bug 1417)

- mapsde.c: add thread locking in msSDELCacheAdd

- fixed mappool.c so that any thread can release a connection,
   not just it's allocator. (bug 1402)

- mapthread.c/h: Added TLOCK_SDE and TLOCK_ORACLE - not used yet.

- Fixed copying of layer and join items. (bug 1403)

- Fixed copying of processing directives within copy of a layer. (bug 1399)

- Problems with string initialization. (bug 1312)

Not yet, but you can expect that to be in the next release, 4.10 or 5.0 
depending on what we end up calling it.

There wasn't time. If you're following that bug you'll see there was a patch submitted that get's us much of the way there- but not all of the way since label collision detection wasn't included. So, the patch author is working on a new patch based on some back and forth with other developers. We'll have to see how it goes to whether it goes into a 4.8.x or 4.10/5.0...

Oww great...

And How about labels that follow street segments (bug * #1620)*

Is that implemented?

Hi Bill,

if you are using MapScript you could request the frequency of indiviuals at 
the concerning positions from data-base insteed of plotting symbols for each. 
Then generate star-glyphs with a jag for each concerning individual or bins 
of them. Star-glyphs are originially used to visualize multi-dimensional 
data, but why not using it for one-dimension. 

Just an idea.

Regards,
Oliver

4.8.x should contain only bug fixes, not new features, so unless we make 
an exception (and I don't think we should) then that would make it a 
4.10/5.0 feature.

But OTOH it would suck to have to wait for the next release in 6 months 
before this is available. We may have to consider a quick mini-release 
(4.10?) once that work is completed if timing works with other 
developments underway at that time in 4.9.

Hi list,

with all WFS GetFeature requests posted to Mapserver 4.8 I get back:

POST body is short

This all works fine with a 48beta2 binary.

What has happened?

Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.122831.0500.BILLBINKO.NET>

Hi all,

I'd like to thank everyone for their feedback on this, and remind our 
freinds meeting tomorrow just how valuable this community is in terms of 
responsiveness, accumen, and general ability.  Please make sure this 
community can continue to thrive with the new Foundation in the mix.

That said, I have some clarifying thoughts that I thought I'd post:

1) Bob Basques has found a link that describes the Kernel Density output 
very closely (thanks, Bob).  Here it is for background: 
http://www.quantdec.com/SYSEN597/GTKAV/section9/density.htm

2) Several people have mentioned grouping points and counting them, and 
then visualizing by the count.  I have used this technique two different 
ways, and I find use for both of them.  
	a) First, I have created arbitrary grids that split up a dataset
into blocks and then used the PostGIS Within() method to calculate 
count/sum/max/min/ave numbers for those blocks.
	b) I have used Census Block Group shapes and performed a similar 
calculation.  (This has the added benefit of being able to do "per capita" 
calculations.)

Both of these maps are useful: the Block Group map even has some "brains" 
behind it since the Block Groups have meaningful boundaries.  However, 
they are very easily skewed.  For example, a single large parcel of may 
take up a large percentage of the block, or points may be clustered very 
close to a corner -- this distributes the points across the blocks and 
dilutes their values.

3) Sean G suggested that a "poor man's" version of this could be created
with transparent shapes (which Mapserver doesn't yet support).  That's
true, to a point.  But there are problems with the approach.  For example,
unline a true density diagram, only the intensity of the color would
change: not the radius, so zoomed out views won't see highly dense
(coincident) areas

I'm not discounting any of these ideas: they all are helping, I just 
thought I'd post back a summary of what I've gotten so far.

Bill

PS: Here is the skeleton of a method in PostGIS that will create a new 
table with a grid that covers the extent of an existing dataset so that 
you can use "WITHIN" to gather averages, etc.

PL/PGSQL to create averages by area on a point set:

DECLARE
        source_table ALIAS FOR $1;
        source_col ALIAS for $2;
        dest_table ALIAS for $3;
        dest_col ALIAS for $4;
        num_cols ALIAS for $5;
        num_rows ALIAS for $6;

        srid integer;

        block_width double precision := 0;
        block_height double precision  := 0;
        border box3d;
        boxString text;
        result text;
BEGIN

        srid := select srid from geometry_columns where f_table_name ilike 
source_table and f_geometry_column ilike source_col;
        EXECUTE 'CREATE TABLE ' || dest_table || ' ( gid serial )';
        EXECUTE 'AddGeometryColumn('''||
                  dest_table||''','''||
                  dest_col||''',srid, ''POLYGON'',2)';

        border := box3d(extent(target_shape)) from target_table;
        block_width := (xmax(border) - xmin(border)) / num_cols;
        block_height := (ymax(border) - ymin(border))/ num_rows;
        boxString := 'BOX3D(''BOX3D(0 0 0, ' || block_width || ' ' || 
block_height || ' 0)'')';
        result := EXECUTE 'insert into  ' || dest_table || '( ' || 
dest_col || ') values ( '||  boxString ' ) ';
        return done;

end;

Hello all, i was wondering how can we set a unc path in the mapfile. I have
a sid file on a different computer, i set the proper permissions and gave
the unc path but the image doesnt show up.

This was the entry i made in mapfile

LAYER

  END

Any suggestions please .....

I'm not sure how it could be but that was the only change between rc3 and the final release that is remotely related to your problem. All that patch does is set a default content-type in case one isn't specified. Since you're setting that value it should behave just as before (unless I made a mistake applying the patch). Have you tried using the version cgiutils.c from 4.8.0 rc3 and recompiling?

Try setting DEBUG ON in every layer also.
You might have to upgrade to 4.6 but I don't recall.

Carola,

The bug is a little sparse for content. Could you update it and add an 
example of what you are trying to do that does not work. I think an 
example of a mapfile layer that you think should work would be a great 
assistance.

Thanks,

Note that the snaptogrid (not sure of spelling or syntax without
looking) in PostGIS could work similarly to the function that you have

Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.110118.0800.CJOHNSONREFRACTIONS.NET>

Suggestions:

1.  Try it out with the .sid file locally to check that your issue is in 
fact with UNC/Networking, and not an issue of having errors in your map 
file.
2.  (long shot) Try (note dollar sign):

DATA "\\192.168.51.15\d$\arcims\sid83\2003\Ortho_1-
1_1n_s_nd035_2003_1.sid"

3.  Consider architecture issues: If your mapserver deployment is 
running on linux machine and trying to access via UNC on a windows 2003 
server, then there it is likely to fail (depending on your Samba version 
and linux kernel) as Win2003 server (by default) uses CIFS.  CIFS is 
encrypted and older version of Samba will fail to connect access it.  
Not entirely sure if the inverse is also true...

4.  Try mapping the UNC share locally, and using that local share (eg 
Z:\<path>) in the mapfile.

5.  Reevaluate your UNC/windows file sharing permissions under windows/IIS.

I made a mistake in applying the patch and tested the wrong binary on my home machine. I have fixed the problem in 4.8 CVS (the error is not in 4.9/.10 where I applied the patch correctly).

I'll check with Dan on how handle...

I'm not sure how it could be but that was the only change between rc3 and the final release that is remotely related to your problem. All that patch does is set a default content-type in case one isn't specified. Since you're setting that value it should behave just as before (unless I made a mistake applying the patch). Have you tried using the version cgiutils.c from 4.8.0 rc3 and recompiling?

2)I tried with the dollar sign but it doesnt work .....
3)My mapserver is in windows and i am trying to access a windows machine

Do you have a .shx and .dbf file for it, too?  Can you look at a file in
the same or nearby directory that DOES work to see if you can detect any

Subject: chameleon legends and query results
Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.140404.0600.MARK.HUDSONXWAVE.COM>

Hi:



I have a chameleon application and am wondering how to manipulate the
legend and query results.  My legend is including every layer in my
mapfile ? but I want to remove a couple of layers from it (layers that
represent street borders) ? not sure how to remove items (layers) from the
legend.  Any suggestions?



Secondly, I can get the query results to display for my chosen layer
(crime) by implementing the TEMPLATE object in the mapfile.  However, it
does not appear to be reading the template file correctly.  I have
specified a TEMPLATE, HEADER, AND FOOTER object in the crime layer but my
TEMPLATE html file specifies chosen fields that should be displayed.  The
problem is that every field in the shapefile is being shown in the query
results.  The application does not appear to be reading the template files
correctly, but does not work if I do not specify any templates.  Code is
below:



Mapfile layer object code:

#layer

  LAYER

    NAME "Crime Locations"

    STATUS ON

    DATA "geocode_crime_84"

    TYPE POINT

    MAXSCALE 100000

    TOLERANCE 10

    CLASS

      STYLE

        SYMBOL 'triangle'

        COLOR 255 0 0

        MINSIZE 8

      END

      TEMPLATE "../templates/crime_query.html"

    END

    HEADER "../templates/crime_header.html"

    FOOTER "../templates/crime_footer.html"



  END



Crime_query.html code:

<tr>

  <td>[lrn]</td>

  <td>[OFFENCE]</td>

  <td>[MODE_TRAVE]</td>

  <td>[LOCATION]</td>

  <td>[TIME]</td>

  <td>[DAY]</td>

  <td>[DATE_]</td>

  <td>[MONTH]</td>

  <td>[WEAPON_USE]</td>

</tr>



Crime_header.html code:

  <b>Layer: crime</b>

<p>

<table cellpadding=5 cellspacing=2 border=0>

  <tr bgcolor=#CCCCCC>

    <td bgcolor=#ffffff> </td>

    <th>OFFENCE</th>

    <th>MODE_TRAVE</th>

    <th>LOCATION</th>

    <th>TIME</th>

    <th>DAY</th>

    <th>DATE_</th>

    <th>MONTH</th>

    <th>WEAPON_USE</th>

  </tr>



Crime_footer.html code:

</table>

<p>





Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks.



Mark.

Subject: reference map output format?
Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.151429.0500.JEREMY.SEARSCCRS.NRCAN.GC.CA>

Hi All,
Is it possible to specify the output format for a reference map? If so how?
The documentation indicates that it may be possible however Im having
trouble getting it to work. The default format for the reference map is
.png, Id like to change this to jpg.

This is the php code Im using to generate the reference map:


$map = ms_newMapObj($mapfileloc);

//draw map
$image=$map->draw();
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage();

//draw reference map
$refImage = $map->drawReferenceMap();
$refImageLoc = $refImage->saveWebImage();

I think that I need to include a statement like:

$map->set(imagetype,'image/jpeg'); or somthing... 
A print_r($refimage) indicates that:
>> [imagetype] => png
but Im not sure how to change this. Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks
Jeremy

A bug was introduced between 4.8.0rc3 and the 4.8.0 release that broke 
support for POST requests.

We've had to pull the 4.8.0 release and issue a new MapServer 4.8.1 with 
this bug fixed:
   http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current/

Sorry about this.

Daniel


Version 4.8.1 (2006-02-03)
--------------------------

- Fixed bug introduced by previous fix to set default content-type in
   POST requests. (bug 1628)

Hi:

 

Please ignore my last two messages - sent to wrong mailing list.  I use
both Mapserver and Chameleon, so I just messed up the postings, sorry
for the confusion.

Yep, the .shx and .dbf files are there, and it works fine with ogrinfo, I
can display everything in it just fine.
These are tiles, created using ogr2ogr with the -spat switch.
I can other tiles in the same directory that were made using shp2tile.

What's weird is I did this same thing last year.

I'm going to dig further to try to find somethine different.

Also, ogrinfo reads it all fine, but ogr2ogr can't do anything with it
anymore.  And it was created using ogr2ogr.

From Jeremy.Raw at DURHAMNC.GOV  Fri Feb  3 13:02:17 2006
From: Jeremy.Raw at DURHAMNC.GOV (Raw, Jeremy)

Subject: OGR+ODBC with Debian Sarge Mapserver
Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.160217.0500.JEREMY.RAWDURHAMNC.GOV>

Question:
 
Does OGR ODBC access to a database table containing X/Y data work in the
standard Debian sarge Mapserver package (as opposed to having to compile
it from the ground up myself)?
 
Details:
 
I've been happily running the Debian sarge standard package of Mapserver
(version 4.4.1) for a number of months.  The data sources for this
project have (until now) all been in shapefiles and inline features
(passed in via CGI).  I'm now trying to enlarge the application to
display point data from a MySQL database table containing X/Y data.
Following the terse but workable how-to on the Mapserver website, I've
got ODBC up and running and verified it all the way through using
ogrinfo (from the standard sarge gdal package) to access the data.
Unfortunately, my mapserver (and also shp2img) perform a segmentation
fault every time they try to access the ODBC layer, with no indication
of what's wrong.
 
All I'd really like to know is if someone has gotten this to work (or
equally, if someone knows for sure that the standard sarge package does
not have suitable capabilities compiled in, or if it conflicts with
something else etc.) before I set about building the whole mapserver
setup from scratch.
 
Here's the test.ovf file (OGR Connection definition), which as I noted
works fine with ogrinfo (the file lives in my SHAPEPATH):
 
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name='mypoints'>
    <SrcDataSource>ODBC:user/password at MySQL</SrcDataSource>
    <SrcSQL>Select * from mypoints where (ptid&lt;100) </SrcSQL>
    <GeometryField encoding='PointFromColumns' x='xcoord' y='ycoord' />
    <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>
 
Here's the (very basic) layer definition from the mapfile - the "circle"
symbol is defined and works in other layers.
 
LAYER
    NAME "mypoints"
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "test.ovf"
    DATA "mypoints"
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POINT
    CLASS
        STYLE
            COLOR 0 0 0
            SIZE 2
            SYMBOL "circle"
        END
    END
END
 
Any help or advice much appreciated.

Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.163741.0500.EDTOPOZONE.COM>

Krishna -

You need to have a very clear understanding of how network resources are
controlled under IIS in Windows.  The short answer to your short
question is "Yes".  But the real answer is much more complicated.

Remember that under IIS, as is true throughout Windows, all code
executes under some user security context.  By default, anonymous HTTP
requests to your IIS server are executed under the IUSER_<machinename>
anonymous Web user account.  By default, this anonymous Web user account
has no access to any network resources at all.  This is a good thing, as
you don't want random visitors to your Web site having access to your
entire network.  But if you DO want them to have access you need to
create that access - and manage it carefully.

Also remember that drive letter mappings are done and remembered on a
per-user basis.  Mapping a network resource as "Z:" when you are logged
in interactively as user "Krishna" has absolutely no effect on drive
letter mappings for any other user, including the IUSR_<machinename>
account (which probably can't access the network at all).

This has nothing to do with MapServer - this is all part of
understanding IIS security and the IIS runtime environment.  You would
run into the same sorts of issues with Apache (different names for
things, but essentially the same concepts).

Did you look at my second question?  That's a slightly funky-looking
filename, and I would suspect that might be part of the problem unless
you are having no trouble with similarly-named files.

Also, ogrinfo reads it all fine, but ogr2ogr can't do anything with it
anymore.  And it was created using ogr2ogr.

It was the filename, I changed my program to remove the "." from the
filename and it works fine now.

Hi, 

I want to be able show data in my (X, Y) maps in Lat Long.
I somehow can get it somewhere near - shifted ~ 200 km to W and ~100 to S.

I would appreciate some help - what could be wrong!

So I did folowing under MAP definition

PROJECTION
#  "proj=tmerc" # by description it seems for me that I should use this one
	"proj=utm" # by using this I can get lat long points somewhere near
#	"ellps=WGS84"
	"ellps=GRS80"
  "lon_0=24E"
  "k=0.999600"
  "y_0=500000"
  "units=m"
  "north"
END

Then I have layers in X, Y i.e. without Projection definition

And then layer that data is lat long:

	LAYER
		NAME "test01"
		TYPE POINT
		STATUS ON
		PROJECTION
		  "proj=latlong"
#		  "ellps=WGS84"
		  "ellps=GRS80"
#		  "datum=WGS84" 
		END
		FEATURE

#				503968.0 6307054.0
				27.1 57.0	#this values shows point in
right place 
				24.24 56.09  #this is the point real (right)
coords
			END
#			TEXT "Test inline"
		END
        CLASS
			NAME 'Test01'
          SYMBOL 'triangle'
          SIZE 14
          COLOR 255 0 255
        END
	END

Need Help!!

I have been trying to get some debug info for my map, but can't seem to get
it to work.  I have just upgraded to mapserver version 4.6.1, but this
didn't help.

My MAP file looks like this:
MAP
  NAME Proximity
  SIZE 500 500
  IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
  SHAPEPATH "/GIS/data/TestData/"
  EXTENT 0 0 100 100
  UNITS FEET

  DEBUG ON

  WEB
    TEMPLATE "../htdocs/template.html"
    IMAGEPATH "/GIS/fgs/tmp/ms_tmp/"
    IMAGEURL "/ms_tmp/"
    LOG "/GIS/logs/deschutes.log"
  END


# *************************************
# ***********  MAP LAYERS  ************
# *************************************

  LAYER #polygon layer begins here
   DEBUG ON
    NAME "polygon"
    TYPE POLYGON
    STATUS default
    DATA "polygon"
    CLASS
     DEBUG ON
      COLOR 156 156 156
      STYLE
        SYMBOL 10
        SIZE 20
        COLOR 0 0 0
      END
    END
  END
END

I have run shp2img on the map file with the -all_debug 5 option with no
results (except for the completed image).

The only response I have ever gotten was this when using php/mapscript:
Fri Feb  3 15:15:22 2006 - msSearchDiskTree(): Unable to access file. Unable
to open spatial index for /GIS/data/deschutes/LAND/Taxlot.qix. In most cases
you can safely ignore this message, otherwise check file names and
permissions.

I have tried adding these lines to my httpd.conf file (and restarting)
SetEnv MS_ERRORFILE "stderr"
SetEnv MS_ERRORFILE /GIS/fgs/tmp/logfile
setEnv MSDEBUG

What I am trying to get is info on layer draw times.  What am I missing? Am
I just not looking at the right log files?  What are the steps to get the
DEBUG parameter to work?  I have heard mention of MSDEBUG, what is it and
how do I use it?


Thanks,


Eric Shuman

Hi:

 

I have a chameleon application and am wondering how to manipulate the
legend.  My issue is that I have a layer of highways and city streets.
I want to have a border color on them, so I have 2 layers defined for
each of highways and city streets.  So of course both show up my legend
which is not desirable.  I do not want to have the border color show up
as a legend item.  How do I get around this?

Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.143004.0500.MARK.HUDSONXWAVE.COM>

Hi:

 

I have a chameleon application and am wondering how to manipulate the
legend and query results.  My legend is including every layer in my
mapfile - but I want to remove a couple of layers from it (layers that
represent street borders) - not sure how to remove items (layers) from
the legend.  Any suggestions?

 

Secondly, I can get the query results to display for my chosen layer
(crime) by implementing the TEMPLATE object in the mapfile.  However, it
does not appear to be reading the template file correctly.  I have
specified a TEMPLATE, HEADER, AND FOOTER object in the crime layer but
my TEMPLATE html file specifies chosen fields that should be displayed.
The problem is that every field in the shapefile is being shown in the
query results.  The application does not appear to be reading the
template files correctly, but does not work if I do not specify any
templates.  Code is below:

 

Mapfile layer object code:

#layer

  LAYER

    NAME "Crime Locations"

    STATUS ON

    DATA "geocode_crime_84"

    TYPE POINT

    MAXSCALE 100000

    TOLERANCE 10

    CLASS

      STYLE

        SYMBOL 'triangle'

        COLOR 255 0 0

        MINSIZE 8             

      END

      TEMPLATE "../templates/crime_query.html"     

    END

    HEADER "../templates/crime_header.html"

    FOOTER "../templates/crime_footer.html"

 

  END

 

Crime_query.html code:

<tr>

  <td>[lrn]</td>

  <td>[OFFENCE]</td>

  <td>[MODE_TRAVE]</td>

  <td>[LOCATION]</td>

  <td>[TIME]</td>

  <td>[DAY]</td>

  <td>[DATE_]</td>

  <td>[MONTH]</td>

  <td>[WEAPON_USE]</td>

</tr>

 

Crime_header.html code:

  <b>Layer: crime</b>

<p>

<table cellpadding=5 cellspacing=2 border=0>

  <tr bgcolor=#CCCCCC>

    <td bgcolor=#ffffff> </td>

    <th>OFFENCE</th>

    <th>MODE_TRAVE</th>

    <th>LOCATION</th>

    <th>TIME</th>

    <th>DAY</th>

    <th>DATE_</th>

    <th>MONTH</th>

    <th>WEAPON_USE</th>

  </tr>

 

Crime_footer.html code:

</table>

<p>

 

 

Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks.

 

Mark.

Subject: Drawing new points using the JSAPI interface
Message-ID: <FRI.3.FEB.2006.092634.0500.DEREK.BIRDXWAVE.COM>

Good morning,
 
Trying to draw a few points on the map using JSAPI, and am having no
luck....  
 
I added this code to the onLoad function: (This works)
goCWCJSAPI.oMap.CreateNewLayer("Sensors","POINT"); //
 
 
This returns TRUE however nothing is plotted. 
Then I added a button the the page, that calls a function plotIt()
apoint=new CWCPoint();
apoint.x=77.0000;
apoint.y=18.00;
apoint.symbol_size=1;
apoint.font_color="10,10,10"; // some random colour
worked=goCWCJSAPI.oMap.AddPoint("Sensors",apoint);
alert(worked);
 
I know having a database connection is an option, however for a quick demo,
I just want to add a bunch of points using javascript from a different
application. Can someone tell me what I am missing to plot points?
 
Regards,
Derek

Hello,

please post to the list, since someone else could need this information, too, 
and doesn't matter there's no trouble for me :-)

You wrote you are using PHPMapscript 4.2. That's an rather older version 
(current 4.8.1.). I guess the number of args differ for settext in it (can 
anybody confirm?). I'd propose you should either read the README of your 
issue for details or upgrade to >=4.4.1 ( the one I have got experiences ).

Best regards,
Oliver

Dylan,
This is an excellent example of what I'm trying to achieve.  Here are
some quick thoughts about what you've shown:

1) How would you publish this "live" to the web?  Do you know how to
integrate v.kernel to push its output to mapserver directly?  I know
there are tools to push GRASS output through GDAL, and I suspect that
that could be daisy chained into mapserver, but I'd like someone's
opinion who's actually done this.  If there's an example (anybody?) or
HOWTO of how to leverage GRASS this way?

2) What is the performance of v.kernel.  For example, I'll have 30-100K
points over the state of florida.  For a zoomed out view, how long would
that take to draw?  Perhaps a better question would be, what is the
order of complexity of the approach taken by GRASS.

3) Unfortunately, because I may want to integrate this into Mapserver, I
can't quite look at the GRASS source on this.  More specifically, I
can't copy it since it's GPL into Mapserver, which is BSD and then
distribute it. Now: I may choose to simply write code to call GRASS
externally, but I wouldn't need to explore the source for that.

I will however, get GRASS 6 up and running here so that I can explore
it.  Thanks for the pointer.

To whom it may concern,
 
I don't know how to refer to these filters in the URL's query string,
there's very little to no documentation on them, as far as I can find.
These are the filters in the URL with the syntax of
&map_<map_layer_name>_filter="where=clause".
 
I installed the latest of FWTools1.0.0a7 with Mapserver 4.8-beta and finally
determined a functionality discrepancy with FWTools1.0.0.a3 with Mapserver
4.7 regarding multiple inline URL map layer filters.  The below URL is the
desired request, but returns an invalid response with no exception.
Additionally nothing is added to the mapserver debug log file either.

Subject: World File Details
Message-ID: <SUN.5.FEB.2006.165639.0500.MULKAUMICH.EDU>

Hi guys!

So, which pieces of free software support the second and third fields of 
world files? I've heard that most software just ignores rotation because 
it is too complex to implement or something. Will mapserver take a world 
file with rotation and actually rotate it?

If any software does actually do this, I guess I would then need to 
somehow georeference these rotated images. How would I go about doing 
that? I don't want to maintain two images: one for the map, one for the 
way I want it unless there is some automated way of keeping these two in 
sync.

Another related question: Is it possible to display a map with mapserver 
or similar software that is rotated... where north is not up, but some 
other direction like pointing to the lower left of your screen?

Subject: Improve WMS Server Performance
Message-ID: <SUN.5.FEB.2006.165708.0500.MULKAUMICH.EDU>

Hi Mapserver folks!

I have these huge (20,000px by 10,000px approx.) aerial images that I
want to figure out how to turn into a reletively speedy WMS server.

I've got all the basics down. I mean, it already works, but is really
slow. It takes up to a few minutes to generate a single image. I want it
to take less than a few seconds. It would be nice if the WMS was as
speedy as Google Maps itself, but I do caching outside the context of
mapserver to make that happen. I just want to make the WMS fast. It
would be nice if there was a completely automated way of speeding up
raster map serving. Is there?

I think the information I need would fit in the documentation here under
Preprocessing-rasters:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data/#preprocessing-rasters

I've read through the mapserver performance tips, but I'm running into a
few problems. You can follow along in section 10 on that same link.

One program I've looked at is gdaladdo: How do I test to make sure
overlays are in fact being used? How do I know what levels of overlays
to create? How do I systematically test performance so that I know what
I'm doing to the images is a good use of my, and my computers processing
time?

Another method I've looked into is tiling and using the tileindex
mechanism of the map file. I haven't found a good tutorial on how to
take one image and tile it into a whole bunch of smaller images all
while keeping each georeferenced correctly. It would be great if someone
could point me in the right direction.

The images are in the correct projection already fortunately. So, no
need to warp.

I wonder if I could reduce the quality of the images slightly to improve
performance.

Alright... time to watch the super bowl. Enjoy the game and commercials
everyone!

I have an ecw file that I want to convert to tiff.  I've fooled around with 
the ermapper stuff on linux to try to directly integrate the ecw format, but 
figure that tiff will be faster albeit more disk, and it will be easier to 
deal with in the long run.

Also, if anyone has done the conversion before and know of any "gotchas" I'd 
appreciate a heads up.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Kyle,

  What format is the image you're using? If it's JPG or another
compressed format, you'll likely see a huge increase in speed by
converting that to a TIFF. It will eat up disc space but will be much
much faster to render.

 As far as gdaladdo, for an image that big I would try to build up to
1/256 if posssible... ie gdaladdo -r average 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 .
Mapserver will automatically recognize these overviews. As far as
other programs, that is up to the developer to implement it. If you
time your mapserver request at the full extent before and after you
should notice a big difference.

 Do you expect people will be viewing the image from a wide range of
scales or will they always be zoomed out? If you've frequently viewing
small portions of the image at a time, it might make sense to break
the image up into multiple tiles using gdal_translate with the
-projwin option then creating a tile index on the tiles with
gdaltindex. This way mapserver only needs to load the tiles in view
rather than the entire image.

Hope this helps a bit. Let us know how it works for you and enjoy the
game.. kick off in few minutes...

Matt Perry

Kyle,

The short answer is that you should convert the data to an
internally tiled format, and then build overviews.

eg.
gdal_translate -co TILED=YES your.tif tiled.tif
gdaladdo tiled.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256

To check if the overview generation worked, run the gdalinfo
program.  After each band listed it will show the overviews
present.   If GDAL sees them, then they should be used.

There should be no need for this.

You should really provide details of your LAYER definition,
and the gdalinfo report from the data for better feedback.

Hi Gail,

you have to use the gdal_translate utility.
It is available in the FWtools package for Linux.
"gdal_translate file.ecw file.tif"
will create a geotif file from your ecw.
I'm supprised you find tiff faster than ecw.

Hi Kyle

I don't know of any software using the rotation parameters. ESRI
software should, as world files were "invented" by them as far as I
remember. 

Anyway, MapServer supports rotation. Be aware that you have to specify
Projection for every layer in the mapfile to be able to do that.

See:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/phpmapscript-class/classes/mapobj/?searchterm=rotation

Subject: Projection Issues
Message-ID: <MON.6.FEB.2006.101309.0000.N.J.SAUNDERSGMAIL.COM>

Hello

I'm having trouble projecting a map to anything other than the default
simple cylindrical projection.

Our data source is PostGIS enabled database populated with data from a
shapefile. I've tried loading the data using different SRIDs via the
-s switch, but to no avail.

All I know is that the original shapefile is :

Coordinate system: Latitude/Longitude in decimal degrees.
Coordinate precision: Double.

I'd like to set the projection to a mercator WGS84.

All I have is a simple mapfile with the map projection set to :
PROJECTION
   "proj=merc"
   "ellps=WGS84"
END

I've tried few combinations of setting the layer to different
projections and the map to different projections but always with the
same result (either nothing rendered or just a simple cylindrical
projection).

I am pretty sure i have my proj4 all set up correctly as well.

Can anybody suggest what it might be I'm doing wrong? Is there a set
of steps that I can perform to validate my setup? I've appended my
mapfile - Any advice gratefully received!

Kind Regards,

Neil..

Subject: Strange text ('Unk') being displayed as label
Message-ID: <MON.6.FEB.2006.105757.0000.CRAZYGECKOGMAIL.COM>

I am using a data that represents urban areas.  I display the label field
when the area is of a certain minimal size.  This works great,  but on
closer inspection I have noticed 'Unk' being displayed at places.  This
doesn't happen often, but often enough to be a concern.

I links below are images showing this.

I have checked in the data, and there is only one area called 'Unk'.

Below is the mapfile code for that particular layer.

Ok it turns out Unk means undefined.  When I looked into the dbf file I was
expecting multiple entries, not knowing it only displays one try per unique
match.

Anyway, problem solved.

Hi!
You have strang expressions in our classes.
The third expression shold be:

Yes this is possible.

If it does not work posting to the URL you provided, try posting to a URL
like:

http://localhost:8089/cgi-bin/mapserv?service=WFS&version=1.0.0

Neil,

The above is fine, but by default MapServer will assume your
input layer is the same projection and do nothing with it.
You need to add the following declaration for the LAYER:

  PROJECTION
    "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84"
  END

MapServer does not normally pull the layer coordinate
system from the datasource.

Best regards,

Hi Fabio,

Please always reply to the list.

You can send it eg with Python, or PHP, whatever. You cannot use a pure HTML
form without server-side processing, since it sends using a param=value
approach (i.e. you need to remove the part before the = of the posted string
if I remember correctly).

What do you mean with: "How can I give to the server the XML path?" ?

Example for Python:

import httplib, urllib, string, base64, time

# 1) set variable for request to be posted

request="""
<GetFeature service="WFS" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/wfs"
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengis.net/wfs/1.0.0
WFS-basic.xsd"><Query
typeName="postcode"><ogc:Filter><ogc:And><ogc:PropertyIsLike wildCard='*'
singleChar='.' escape='!'
matchCase='false'><ogc:PropertyName>PC6</ogc:PropertyName><ogc:Literal>8044P
C*</ogc:Literal></ogc:PropertyIsLike><ogc:PropertyIsLike wildCard='*'
singleChar='.' escape='!'
matchCase='false'><ogc:PropertyName>HUISNR</ogc:PropertyName><ogc:Literal>*<
/ogc:Literal></ogc:PropertyIsLike></ogc:And></ogc:Filter></Query></GetFeatur
e>
"""
# 2) set WFS servername and hostname

# productie
server="/stragisweb/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/stragisweb/htdocs/sit
es/zwolle/map/stragisweb.map&"
hostname="localhost:8080"

# 3) execute the request

h = httplib.HTTP(hostname)
h.putrequest("POST", server)
h.putheader("Content-type", "text/xml")
h.putheader("Content-length", "%d" % len(request))
h.putheader("Accept", "text/xml")
h.putheader('Host', hostname)
h.endheaders()
h.send(request)
reply, msg, hdrs = h.getreply()

# 4) print the response
print h.getfile().read()

Message-ID: <MON.6.FEB.2006.154800.0200.JUKKA.RAHKONENMMMTIKE.FI>

Hello,
 
I have faced also some interoperability problems with WFS. I have found that this combination works:
- Cadcorp SIS Map Browser as a client (free download, needs registration)
- WFS server http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswfs_gmap?
 
The link is from MapServer WFS howto so I think it is not any secret. That combination works both in "GET" and "POST" modes (you can select those in Map browser). Uncheck the "Validate XML from server" box or you can not connect, there seems to something that Map browser do not like but with that box unchecked it connects anyway. With my own MapServer installation (v. 4.6 from ms4w package) I can only connect in "GET" mode and I have no idea why not.
 
There are also clients that cannot connect to MapServer WFS at all even they do connect with Geoserver. One example is otherwise fine client deeJUMP that uses only "POST" method. I sent that DM Solutions link to deeJUMP user list and it seems that sooner or later that combination will work. There were something to be fixed both on MapServer and deeJUMP sides, and MapServer should be OK now with 4.8. Fix to deeJUMP comes somewhere in the future.
 
The clients I have found to be able to connect my MapServer ms4w WFS are MapInfo Professional v. 7.8 and uDig. I can also get the vectors visible if I download the GML with web browser and open the file with TatukGIS free viewer. Obviously there is still some work to be done with interoperability. It would be nice to know if some other have found more working server-client combinations and if there are some tricks to make it go.
 
-Jukka-

Yes this is possible.

If it does not work posting to the URL you provided, try posting to a URL
like:

http://localhost:8089/cgi-bin/mapserv?service=WFS&version=1.0.0

Hello,
is it possible to get a feature description using POST with a xml file like

Can i post it to http://localhost:8089/cgi-bin/mapserv, and get back
description file in gml ?

I have a like application using geoserver, and i will try to use
mapserver... I hope it is possible.
Thank you.

Hi Bart,

We replied almost identically and at the same time.  I see great minds
think alike :)

Tell me, does MapServer CVS work for you?  I can't get anything from
CVS, and wanted to check that it's not my network security before I
bother the list.

Yes. Not sure why though (all parties that can do something about it are in
Chicago). It likely will not be resolved until tomorrow.

Hi Bart,

We replied almost identically and at the same time.  I see great minds
think alike :)

Tell me, does MapServer CVS work for you?  I can't get anything from
CVS, and wanted to check that it's not my network security before I
bother the list.

Khaled -
 
You can combine ASP.NET and CGI pages and requests in a single
application, but you cannot have one page be processed by both the .NET
framework and the CGI processor.
 
You can, for example,. use the MapServer CGI with the "mode=map"
parameter to have it produce only the map image for a specified request.
Then your ASP.NET page can have an IMG tag on it with the SRC property
specified as the URL requesting the MapServer CGI image, as in:
 
<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&....">
 
Most of the introductory material for MapServer focuses on the
"mode=browse" operation, which is very helpful if you do not have
another server-side processing environment like .NET or PHP in use.  If
you do have such an environment, trying to both at the same time is
impossible and will confuse you.

Hi Carlo,
 
As far as I know WFS in MapServer is restricted to non-transactional WFS (client/server), so it's not possible to add editing capabilities I think.

Subject: MS RFC 10: Joining the Open Source Geospatial Foundation
In-Reply-To: <43E75A71.5080703@dmsolutions.ca>
Message-ID: <MON.6.FEB.2006.090846.0600.HOBUIASTATE.EDU>

All,

I would like to put forward RFC 10, which is a proposal for MapServer 
to decide to actively participate and join the Open Source Geospatial 
Foundation.  I expect that there will be more official information 
about the meeting and its outcome shortly, but there has been plenty 
of weblog activity about the meeting (plus hours worth of IRC logs 
that give even more detail) [1].

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-10/

Deciding whether or not to join and participate in OSGeo jumps beyond 
the mere technical (but it also has an impact on the technical side 
of the project), as is the purview of the MTSC.  It is, however, the 
only "official" decision-making body the MapServer project has.  The 
process I propose is as follows:

1.  The MTSC goes through its normal process, including amending the 
proposal as necessary and voting using its normal +1/-1 method. 
After MTSC approval, the proposal is to be put forward to the 
community.

2.  The community is given three days to provide input and vote via 
the website's non-anonymous polling system (the same thing that we 
used for polls over the last few months).  If a majority of the 
community is also in agreement, the proposal to join and participate 
in OSGeo will be considered passed.

OSGeo provides an organization that will be broad in scope and 
specific in purpose that will provide benefits to its member projects 
that they alone could not hope to accomplish.  One of the most 
important is that it will act as an umbrella to all of the projects, 
providing organization and support to the Open Source GIS community. 
This goes and grows way beyond the naming debates and somewhat 
limited foundation announcement that the open letter signatories 
proposed in late November of last year.  In my opinion, there was 
general consensus that a foundation-like entity was needed, but the 
specific implementation of what was proposed earlier was not 
desirable.

Howard

Just do a GetFeature request to Mapserver WFS, you get back GML. Use ogr2ogr
to convert to shape or DWG. Note ogr2ogr has no writing capability for DGN,
and for DWG write you need to have a valid copy of the OpenDesign Alliance
library.

OGC:WMS by nature only provides graphical images of geospatial data, so,
unless you have something like feature recognition tools, or good raster
to vector converters, you cannot do this with OGC:WMS in MapServer.

As OGC:WFS provides OGC:GML support, you can use the ogr2ogr tool
(http://gdal.maptools.org/ogr/ogr2ogr.html) to convert OGC:GML to one of
the supported formats (http://gdal.maptools.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html).

This is "old" form style. There is a page reload at every request. I
suggest you use Ajax ( http://ajaxpro.schwarz-interactive.de/) instead,
wich is also more easy. I'll replay you later, cause I don't have time now
(and I just began to do it in free time after work).

Carlo,

If you are already using mapscript in some form (perl, PHP etc), I think it
is *possible* to perform editing with MapServer.  WFS wouldn't need to be
employed if you're doing this with your own data, and within a Mapserver
only environment.

Something you'd have to decide is...  on the client end, would you be
drawing the shape with the client side?  Or do you expect to have server
calls and map refreshes between every mouse click?  Do you need to see a
node move?

Either way, the MapServer side of things is the same.  You can create a
feature in a new layer as points, lines etc... and then when you are done,
you can save as a shapefile on the server.  What you do with it after that
is again up to you.  For editing points - you have to get a shape, get it's
line, and then get the point object for that node.  I havn't tried this -
it's just from looking at the mapscript class guide.

For modifying features, I suspect that using SVG/Canvas (newest Firefoxes)
or VML (IE) would greatly enhance the tool and make it user-friendly on the
client end.  To me, this side of things is more difficult.

I am running MapServer under IIS6.0 as a CGI in, without MapScript support.
My projection is lat and long.  In either map or browser mode I'd like to be
able to pass in a lat long coordinate via the URL, along with a label for
that coordinate and have a symbol placed on the resulting map with the label
associated with it.  For example, if I have a symbol to use named "marker",
I'd like to pass in the lat and long coordinate (such as "-122.1234+47.5678"
and a label, such as "My House" and have the "marker" symbol appear on the
appropriate place on the map labeled as "My House".  How would I do that?

Your help is appreciated.

Hi 

 

I am testing the WFS server on Mapserver.

 

I am running on Windows (4.6.2)

 

Have set up WMS and this works just fine (getCapabilities, getMap and getFeatureInfo).

 

I have set up a simple mapfile to server WFS, and my getcapabilities request seems to work. It returns XML listing the layers in my WFS mapfile.

 

But when I try to make a getFeature request it only returns this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 

<wfs:FeatureCollection xmlns:myns="http://www.ttt.org/myns" xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd http://www.ttt.org/myns  http://avsdi/adaptive/wfs.aspx?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=Omverda&OUTPUTFORMAT=XMLSCHEMA">

<gml:boundedBy>

  <gml:null>missing</gml:null> 

</gml:boundedBy>

</wfs:FeatureCollection>

 

It says <gml:null>missing</gml:null>.

 

What is missing?

 

Anybody got any ideas?

  ...&map_mypnt_feature=new&map_mypnt_feature_points=-122.1234+47.5678&map_mypnt_feature_text=My+House&...

If you're using 4.8 you can ommit the 'map_mypnt_feature=new' variable, it is not needed.

Anyway, verbose but it should work.

Hi 

I am testing the WFS server on Mapserver.

I am running on Windows (4.6.2)

Have set up WMS and this works just fine (getCapabilities, getMap and getFeatureInfo).

I have set up a simple mapfile to server WFS, and my getcapabilities request seems to work. It returns XML listing the layers in my WFS mapfile.

But when I try to make a getFeature request it only returns this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 

<wfs:FeatureCollection xmlns:myns="http://www.ttt.org/myns" xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd http://www.ttt.org/myns  http://avsdi/adaptive/wfs.aspx?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=Omverda&OUTPUTFORMAT=XMLSCHEMA">

Eric,

If you do "mapserv -v" does the report include:

   DEBUG=MSDEBUG

If not, it means your executable was built without debug
support disabled at compile time and there is no way to
turn it back on.  (I think)

If you are in a position to rebuild MapServer, configure
it with the --enable-debug switch to allow debug output.
You will still have to do the -all_debug 1 or similar but
at least it should turn stuff on.

PS. I hate this default setup, though for some reason I
have not actually pursued changing it.   I am careful to
enable debug in the FWTools binaries.

Best regards,

Jeremy,

There is no obvious reason I can see why your
ODBC connection and OVF file would work with
ogrinfo but not with mapserver/shp2img.

I have, in some configurations, found ODBC on Unix/Linux
to be buggy and the problems might only happen to cause
a crash with mapserver and not with ogrinfo.  But that
doesn't tell us much.

You might want to try and run ogrinfo under "valgrind"
to see if it identifies any problems, and then compare
with a run of shp2img under valgrind.

But to track the problem down you may well have to
compile everything in debug.

Hi Bill,

Here is a quick link to the GRASS site, on how to get a GRASS-Mapserver 
application running:

http://grass.itc.it/start.html

towards the bottom of the page, there is a link to a project from some time 
ago which called GRASS directly using PHP: essentially setting up the GRASS 
environmental variables, and then running the appropriate commands via 
system().

Well- it is resolution dependant. The map made with v.kernel is of an area 
close to 27k acres, and at a resolution of 10m it took about 5 minutes. 
However, at a resolution of 100m it only a took a couple seconds.

See the PHP example for calling an install of a GRASS directly.

You bet. Let me know how it turns out.

Basically Mapserver is saying that it did not find any features for your
request.

The most common pitfall that I have run into when getting an empty feature
collection back, is that when doing a non-spatial query on Mapserver WFS, it
takes the extent as defined in the MAP file into account for the query.

Bart

That seemed to work pretty well after I first converted my jpegs to 
geotiffs using gdal_translate. It didn't work at all (took hours) trying 
to go directly from jpeg to tiled tiff.

Now, I'm having a problem at the borders of both the original tiles and 
the rended tiles from mapsever:
http://maps.kylemulka.com/spot/

You should notice that the initial map you see when the page first loads 
looks fine. Then, zoom out and you will see two white lines. Any way to 
fix that?

I used gdaltindex to create a shapefile which I then put into my mapfile:

MAP
    NAME "SpotAerialImagery"
    IMAGETYPE jpeg
    EXTENT -180 -90 180 90

I'm curious if there's a way to get access to the shapeObj field names
in non-PHP MapScript applications.

In PHP, you can get a shape object (as a result of a query) and grab the
valued of field with a string index: $myValue =
shape.values["Country_Code"];

I'm using c# for my application and I'm curious if there is anything
similar - or another way to get access to the field names?

 

Thanks,

Bill,

The census site I sent you is actually doing this type of overlay right 
now.  It's all MapServer/Mapscript based. Let me know if you have any 
questions.

The overlays are drawn on the fly from the Census BlockGroup data.   
It's got quite a bit of indexing behind the scenes that makes it run 
fairly quickly.   It seems to run out of steam at around 50k points when 
the time seems to take a jump up to 10-15 seconds to process ( the limit 
we were shooting for).  Unfortunately, the code is very Census specific 
at the moment.   We're planning on chopping the code out into a tool 
set, just haven't had time yet.

One other item, the overlays are being drawn right now in a fairly 
course grid, the overlay drawing aspects are configurable and the 
resolution can be increased at the cost of time for processing.

Would it be possible for the list server to filter out the HTML rubbish

The current digests are almost unreadable with all of the HTML copies.
Some lists actively discourage non-text postings but filtering should be

Hi Sture,
 
  I suggest you to test first with a browser if Mapserver is actually sending 
the vectors. If not, for me the reason is usually wrong extents in map-file.
  Something like this should show you vectors on a browser:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=d:/ms4w/apps/ms101/data/wfstest.map&mode=map
 
It that works, you can next try a WFS request with your browser like:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=d:/ms4w/apps/ms101/data/jukkawfs.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&TYPENAME=jukka
 
If you get something that looks like valid GML then you know that 
quite a lot is OK on MapServer side.

Hi



I am testing the WFS server on Mapserver.



I am running on Windows (4.6.2)



Have set up WMS and this works just fine (getCapabilities, getMap and getFeatureInfo).



I have set up a simple mapfile to server WFS, and my getcapabilities request seems to work. It returns XML listing the layers in my WFS mapfile.



But when I try to make a getFeature request it only returns this:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<wfs:FeatureCollection xmlns:myns="http://www.ttt.org/myns" xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/wfs/1.0.0/WFS-basic.xsd http://www.ttt.org/myns  http://avsdi/adaptive/wfs.aspx?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&TYPENAME=Omverda&OUTPUTFORMAT=XMLSCHEMA">

<gml:boundedBy>

  <gml:null>missing</gml:null>

</gml:boundedBy>

</wfs:FeatureCollection>



It says <gml:null>missing</gml:null>.



What is missing?



Anybody got any ideas?





Regards

Sture

Hi mapserver-users,

This might be more of a MapInfo-related problem than anything else, but I can't really pin it to MapInfo so here it goes;

I'm using MapInfo 8.0 to try and connect to my Mapserver 4.6.1-based WFS Server.
I feed MapInfo the URL:

http://testserver/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/wfs_klic.map&

MapInfo successfully performs and parses a GetCapabilities request. I get the one layer I defined in the layers list. But when I click on that layer I get a 

POST body is short

MapInfo suggests it has something to do with a failed DescribeFeatureType request. Is this a MapServer-related thing or is the MapInfo client still flaky?

Thanks,

Martijn van Exel

Jukka,

he is using version 4.6.1 which did not have the bug introduced just after
4.8 RC3, so this is not related to that particular issue.

Martijn, you could try upgrading to Mapserver 4.8.1 though and see if the
problem still exists.

Bart

Kyle,

I can see why you were originally having trouble.  Large
JPEGs are a particularly inefficient format for large raster data
that you will want subsections of.

I'm not sure why a direct translation from JPEG was so bad.
Likely some sort of "cache thrashing" problem that would cause
large amounts of data to be re-read for each tile being rewritten.
You can set the GDAL_CACHEMAX value to allow GDAL to use
a cache larger than it's default 10MB.

I have no idea why that is.  Some sort of subtle resampling
error I suppose, or perhaps wrong bounds on your rasters.
There isn't really anything I can do about it unless you can
replicate it in a minimal situation you can submit in a bug report.

Hi

If you are interesting in a simple .NET 2.0 solution,
try "sharpMap". 

http://sharpmap.iter.dk

It is simple and very fast. 
It includes a winforms control with simple zoomin, 
zoomout and pan functionality.
Also a asp.net web control is available.

And it is written in pure C#.

I've made a small mapfile editor in .NET 2.0 using the mapserver csharp 
api. It appears to be working, but there are some issues with it(using 4.6).

On http://www.nergens.org/projects/mapviewer/ (currently being updated, 
at 19 hours GMT it should be working again) you can find the source 
files and the binary. This exercise was just to see if i could get it 
working together, so don't expect anything fancy :D

Maybe the tread

Message-ID: <TUE.7.FEB.2006.065431.0800.B.VDEIJNDENAGI.RWS.MINVENW.NL>

Hi list,

I am experiencing a strange phenomenon. I have a shapefile layer, and have
put Mapserver WFS on top of it. When I extract a part using a BBOX filter, I
miss one of the features. See the screendumps I made.

What could the problem be?

Original shapefile:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~bartvde/tatuk_soilmap.png

Mapserver WFS extract:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~bartvde/tatuk_soilmap_mapserverwfs.png

Also, the feature is missing from the map drawn by Mapserver WMS, so the
problem will probably be with the datastore.

Best regards,
Bart

Subject: OracleSpatial and polygons crossing the antimeridian
Message-ID: <TUE.7.FEB.2006.085537.0700.JOHN.C.CARTWRIGHTNOAA.GOV>

Hello All,

I have a single polygon in oracle spatial (10.1) which crosses the 
antimeridian.  Displaying this polygon in an unprojected map (WGS84), 
shows the polygon incorrectly stretching across the globe in the 
longitude coordinate.  This is not entirely unexpected.  However, when I 
switch to an orthographic projection, I don't see the polygon displayed 
at all which suprises me.

This looks like a symptom of bug 411 which was marked as resolved.  
Oracle itself seems to be treating the poly correctly since the geometry 
validates and a SDO_FILTER query returns the correct results.

Should mapserver be able to handle polygons which cross the 
antimeridian?  I'm using mapserver 4.8.1 and the oraclespatial 
connection type. 

Here's the definition of the polygon in question:

SDO_GEOMETRY(
   2003,
   8307,
   NULL,
  SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1003, 1),
  SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(170, -10, -170, -10, -170, 10, 170, 10, 170, -10)
)


Thanks!

hi,

Recently I ran into a problem,  I have several
classes using a specific symbol (png file)
like this:

CLASS
  NAME "YYYYY"
  OUTLINECOLOR 32 32 32
  STYLE
    COLOR 0 0 0 # dummy color
    SYMBOL 'symbols/yyyyy.png'
  END
END #end of class YYYYY

My problem is that I have a lot of class definitions like the one above,
and at some point, if I define a new symbol my map stops working.

What's is the maximum number of allowed symbols? Where can I modify this value
in the sources?

I am using mapserver 4.6

John,

If you could prepare an example reproducing this
problem with the geometry as an inline feature, and
submit that through bugzilla, I am willing to take a look.

In theory this should work, but there are a number of points
at which things might be getting screwed up.

there is definitely a max classes value

not sure about max symbols.

The limit usually set to 64 symbols in a symbol file.
It is in the mapsymbol.h file. Increase the number in the source and
build mapserver.
#define MS_MAXSYMBOLS 64

Subject: truetype character as polygon fill rendered without space
Message-ID: <TUE.7.FEB.2006.171831.0100.ANDREAS.MAULBGR.DE>

Hi,
as pointed out in the documentation "Construction of Cartographic
Symbols" 
lines can be decorated with truetype symbols, e.g. with a symbol
definition as
SYMBOL
  NAME "tilde"
  TYPE TRUETYPE
  FONT "arial"
  CHARACTER "~"
  ANTIALIAS TRUE
  GAP 10
END

If I use the same definition to fill polygon areas with this signature, 
the keyword gap (and angle too) is ignored, i.e. the characters are 
arranged without space. Is it planned to extend the gap keyword that it
is 
usable also for areas?

PS. I use mapserver 4.4.1 and Windows XP but same behaviour with 
mapserver 4.6 has been told

Regards,
Andreas

Chris, 

Last I knew you could not pull the value by string but could numerically via 
the position of the attribute in the table.

I don't know if C# MapScript works with .NET 2, but you can work both in
BROWSE and *QUERY* mode using cgi. There are no threading issues except
Mapserver cgi itself (I suppose).
For example, using Ajax .NET
(http://ajax.schwarz-interactive.de/csharpsample/default.aspx)

something like this (only an idea, not complete and raw):

Main .aspx page:

//using dbox
function setbox_handler(name, minx, miny, maxx, maxy) {
   document.mapserv.imgbox.value = minx + " " + miny + " " + maxx
+ " " + maxy;
      document.mapserv.imgxy.value = minx + " " + miny;
      //document.forms[0].submit(); <-- old form style
      retrieveMap(); <-- new Ajax style
    }
...
<img id=main_image src="" width="" height="">
<input name="ref" type="image" id="referenceMap" src="">


Code behind:

if(!IsPostBack) {
    // Register the class that will hold the
methods.
             BorgWorX.Web.Core.Ajax.Utility.RegisterTypeForAjax(typeof
(mapsrvNet.AjaxMethods), Page);
   } else {
    ...
}


file AjaxMethods.js:

var swapMapImageTime = 1000;
//offscreen images, used in preload
var imgMapOff = new Image();
var imgRefOff = new Image();

var queryString;
var layers;
var baseUrl;
var imgxy;
var imgext;
var mapwidth;
var mapheight;
var imgbox;
var zoom = 0;


function retrieveMap()
{

    //recupero lista layers
    var childNodes = document.getElementById("layerListDiv");
    layerArray = childNodes.getElementsByTagName("input");
    //alert(layers.length);
    var i;
    var layersString = "";
    for(i=0; i < layerArray.length; i++) {
        if(layerArray[i].checked == true) {
            layersString += "&layer=" + layerArray[i].value;

Hi mapserver-users:

I?m using mapserver CGI with no mapscript, I have a shapefile and a

I just installed postgresql 8.1.2 and Postgis 1.1.1. I completely deleted my

/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.4 was build. No libpq.so.3 was built like in
postgresql 7.X. I tried both mapserver 4.4.2 and 4.6.2 which give me the

  I tried building mapserver with
"./configure --with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config" or
"./configure --with-postgis" and in both cases it says it fines my pg_config
file. Why is mapserv trying to load libpq.so.3 when it's not used anymore in
postgresql 8.X? I don't know where it can be picking up this name. If I do a
"locate libpq.so.3" nothing is found even after I do an "updatedb" or do a
"ldconfig -v". I even added in my env variables just to be sure:

  POSTGRES_HOME=    /usr/local/pgsql

  POSTGRES_LIB=    /usr/local/pgsql/lib

  POSTGRES_INCLUDE=    /usr/local/pgsql/include

  Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance.

Cris,


For C# you should access the field value by index as

string myvalue  = myshape.getValue(index);

index should be less than shapeObj.numvalues.

Currently the field access by array (shapeObj.values) cannot be used due to
the absence of a C# typemap for the string array.

To access the value by field name your shape should belong to a layer.
You could achieve similar functionality as implemented in php like

if (myshape != null && mylayer != null && myshape.numvalues ==
mylayer.numvalues)
{
  for (int i=0; i<mylayer.numitems; i++)
  {
    if (mylayer.getItem(i) == "Country_Code")
    {
      myvalue = myshape.getValue(i);
    }
  }
}

Hi there,

  I have a problem with my WMS server. I am using the NZMG (ESPG:27200)
projection and my php client is accessing and visualise the data perfect.
But when I call the WMS service, I get a <inf> value in the extention of the
layers.
  I checked the exstension. ogrinfo delivers the used map's extension and
the epsg definition file defines the projection as follow:

The mapfile is like this:

Hi All!

Frank; Thanks for that tip, now I'm setting the projection on the layer and
mapserver is doing my translation into merc which is great. However, the
units its projecting it into are meters. If I set, as I have, the units
in the layer projection to be m and the units of the map to be dd then i
get a "[MapServer Error]: msProcessProjection(): unknown unit conversion
id" error.

So I tried to convert my data into a new shapefile so i could re-import
it, using the following command:
ogr2ogr -s_srs "+proj=latlong" -t_srs "+proj
=merc +ellps=WGS84" e:\upload\worldmerc.shp e:\upload\cntry.shp
ERROR 1: Failed to find required field in datum.csv in
InitDatumMappingTable(),
using default table setup.
Failed to transform feature 180.
ERROR 1: Terminating translation prematurely after failed
translation of layer cntry00

Could anyone suggest what my error is? Whether I can fix it in mapserver
or the data, either would suffice! The end goal being that I have the
data pulled from postgis in the same format as I'm projecting to, so I
can do all the relevent trickery there.

Many thanks in advance,

Neil.

Luis,

It looks like one of your layers is stored as lat/long, and the other is 
UTM.  You should include a PROJECTION block within each of your layers 
to define what projection the data is stored in. Mapserver needs to know 
what projection your data is stored in so that it can reproject 
appropriately to the desired output projection.

I believe if Mapserver doesn't find a PROJECTION block within a layer, 
it assumes the layer is stored in whatever PROJECTION you use in your 
MAP block.

Neil,

If your map is going to be in mercator you are going to
have to specify your extents in some linear measure (like
meters), not in lat/long.

I'm not exactly sure why you get this error.  But you really
should be specific about datum.

eg.
ogr2ogr -s_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -t_srs "+proj=merc
+datum=WGS84" e:\upload\worldmerc.shp e:\upload\cntry.shp

I would add it really frightens me when you leave
so many mercator parameters defaulted.

Hello all, i was trying to remove the styles object from the styles array

i dont know if these lines need some thing else

         $layername = $map->getLayerByName("somelayer");

Could anyone suggest me with this ....

Rainer,

try adding the wms_extent parameter to your LAYER / METADATA object.

This will override the need for MS to try and determine the extents 
from PostGIS, i have had some occasions where the BBOX was reported 
incorrectly (especially from postgis/sde). Just make sure what you 
specify is in the correct SRS.

eg.
LAYER ..
METADATA
wms_extent "2000073 5310090 3001881 6785641"

Rainer, depends on your use i guess.

Have a read through all the options at,

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/?searchterm=wms

Most of the optional paramters are for CITE compliance or other 
features (such as WMS-Time and WFS).

So long as your capabilities are reporting the correct online_resource 
url and a correct BBOX, most clients should function without any 
problems.

Subject: ANNOTATION only for an extent?
Message-ID: <WED.8.FEB.2006.150325.1100.JAMES_MARSNETTHOTMAIL.COM>

I am using several high quality aerial photographs, and each is copyright by 
someone different. How do I display different "copyright" statements only 
when viewing a certain extent?

I tried the following, but it displays the copyright statement whenever the 
zoom level reaches 50,000. These layers MUST be in the same group, else I 
would have made separate map files. So that when the user zoms in, they get 
to see more detail.

Any ideas?

My map file:

al-all-pages

int deletestyle(int index)
       Delete the style specified by the style index. If there are any
       style that follow the deleted style, their index will decrease by 1.

       NOTE : if you are using the numstyles parameter while using the
              deletestyle function on the class object you need to refetch
              a new class object. Example :

                 //class has 2 styles
                $class = $oLayer->getclass(0);
                $class->deletestyle(1);
                echo $class->numstyles; : will echo 2

                $class = $oLayer->getclass(0);
                echo $class->numstyles; : will echo 1

Hello all, i was trying to remove the styles object from the styles array
using php mapscript and i couldnt get the syntax for it.

i dont know if these lines need some thing else

         $layername = $map->getLayerByName("somelayer");
         $class = $layername->getClass(0);
         $style = ms_newStyleObj($class);
         $temp = $class.removeStyle(0);

Could anyone suggest me with this ....

-kris

Hey Steve

I have two dfb files: gbkn-philippine and eigenaren
The reference is gbkn-philippine.willekeur and eigenaren.aa_linkid
What I want is if I query the the layer then I like to see the data of 
eigenaren.dbf .
I can't figure out what is wrong.
Maybe I have to use CONNECTION or CONNECTIONTYPE but I don't know what.
TEMPLATE isn't necessary  because I use a one-to-one relation.

I really hope you can help me

Subject: Coordinate Systems used in the Netherlands?
Message-ID: <WED.8.FEB.2006.114527.0100.BAASSPEERIT.NL>

Hello again,

I have a few questions concerning the projection of my layers in MapServer.

I'm using the StreetPro layers for the Netherlands, and from that 
documentation I found that I should use the follows as main projection 
in my Map File:

	PROJECTION
		"proj=stere"
		"lat_0=52.15616055555555"
		"lon_0=5.38763888888889"
		"k=0.999908"
		"x_0=155000"
		"y_0=463000"
		"ellps=bessel"
		"units=m"
	END


But now I also need to project some seperate TAB files (from MapInfo), 
and they are shifted to the North-East. Anyone have any ideas how to fix 
this problem? If requested I can post a screenshot.

I tried setting this layer projection to a Dutch system, but I cannot 
find which one to use (neither can I find which of them are supported by 
MapServer ;().

I tested:
+proj=Netherlands Coordinate Systems -- Unknown Projection ID
+proj=NCS -- Same

+proj=latlong +datum=Rijksdriehoekstelsel -- unknown elliptical 
parameter name
+proj=latlong +datum=Netherlands National System -- Same as above.


Can anyone provide me some pointers? I have a beautiful working map, but 
with my last layer being off by 50 meters, it's kinda useless.


Thanks!

Regards,
Jelmer Baas

Hi list,

 

What means those ... in the formula, that is part of coordinate
transformations formulas?

 

M = a[(1 - e2/4 - 3e4/64 - 5e6/256 -....)j - (3e2/8 + 3e4/32 +
45e6/1024+....)sin2j + (15e4/256 + 45e6/1024 +.....)sin4j - (35e6/3072 +
....)sin6j + .....]

Hi Gail,
 
what kind of requests are you trying? Could you supply an example URL?
 
In the URL you can specify res_x and res_y and if you give those the same
value as your source data you should get the same quality, at least for us
it seems to work fine like that. We also output to MrSID, ECW and Geotiff
using Mapserver WCS.

Dear MapServer users,

 

I would like to provide ECW format radar data for download via a WCS (aswell
as Geotiff format). I have managed to get the ECW images to download via WCS
but the quality of the image has been reduced greatly when I compare to the
original image on the server. What could be the reason for this? I would
appreciate any suggestions.

The quality of the GeoTiff's in comparison is the same as the image of the
server, does GDAL work for ECW WCS?

Subject: ovf layer (mysql) won't show
Message-ID: <WED.8.FEB.2006.152102.0200.TEALORAMAGMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I have problems to showing ovf layer on MapServer 4.8.1. Layer contains
linestring-geometry from MySQL 5.0.18.

MapServer doesn't print any errors but layer won't show. Could somebody tell
me what's wrong?

Here is what is in ovf-file:

<OGRVRTDataSource>

    <OGRVRTLayer name="article_poly">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:opus at myodbc</SrcDataSource>
        <SrcSQL>select id, astext(article_poly.linest) as geometry from
article_poly</SrcSQL>
        <GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="geometry"/>
     </OGRVRTLayer>

</OGRVRTDataSource>

And what I get from ogrinfo:

 From the very first hit on Google --

     (1) The Degrees are simply the numbers to the left of the decimal 
(using 42.36824 as an example, the degrees would be 42)
     (2) To determine the Minutes, multiply the number to the right of 
the decimal point by 60 (example: .36824 x 60 = 22.0944)
     (3) The Minutes are the numbers to the left of the decimal point 
(in this example, 22)
     (4) To determine the Seconds, multiply the number to the right of 
the decimal point by 60 (example: .0944 x 60 = 5.664)
     (5) The Seconds are the numbers to the left of the decimal point, 
rounded up (in this example, 06)

Implementing it in Js is left as an exercise for the reader...

The ... means "and additional terms following the sequence of the prior 
terms". It is basically a short hand notation for a summation of n to 
infinity. So you if you want more terms you need to first infer the 
sequence from the prior terms like [2, 4, 6, ...] is a sequence and the 
next terms are  8, 16, 32, ...

Each additional term adds some additional fractional accuracy to the 
computation, at some point the fractional accuracy is beyond the point 
that it is significant to to our uses.

If you calculate just the 3rd term and see how big its value is it will 
give you the magnitude of the change it is impacting on the equation and 
the next term in the sequence will tern to be significantly smaller.

Hello everybody,
i need to use pictures in jpeg2000 format. 

How can i read the content of those files, use it, and save it again under jpeg, gif, or other formats and compressions levels ?

Great thanks.

Subject: experience with DWG files?
Message-ID: <WED.8.FEB.2006.172348.0100.BUDCOMUNE.GROSSETO.IT>

Hello everyone,

I noted that via OGR, Mapserver should be able to work natively with 
AutoCAD DWG files.  There was some mention on limitations in the OGR driver 
description.

Does anyone have some experience to share to better understand what kind of 
problems I can expect to run into when using DWG without prior 
conversion?    Are there any conventions for the data in the DWG file that 
are necessary for success?

Considering that AutoDesk is involved with the Mapserver Foundation, is it 
reasonable to expect that DWG support will become more evolved in the 
future or is the impedance-missmatch between the CAD and GIS world going to 
cause remaining difficulties?

Many thanks in advance for any input

-bud

Bud,

I'm afraid this is currently an out-only driver.  That is you
can use ogr to convert to DWG format, but not to read it.
That was the client requirement and reading was quite alot of
extra work.   So I don't think it is much help for you.

My understanding is that the DWG support code at Autodesk is
closely integrated with alot of the rest of AutoCAD and isn't likely
to be open sourced due to complexity.

Hi,

If you want to convert jpeg2000 images to other 
formats you can use for example gdal_translate 
utility. Jpeg2000 images do not behave badly at 
all with MapServer, so if that is the final goal 
then it might be worth a trial to use them as they 
are.

Hi Frank - Thanks very much for your continued help. I'm still only a
the learning stage, and so am just having a play trying to get a
working system going.

For testing purposes, the shapefile file I'm using is here:
http://www.cdc.gov/epiinfo/shape/Cntry00.zip

What I'd like to do is load this shape file in to a PostGIS database,
then have mapserver render it projected as mercator (WGS84?),
overlayed with points I've got in another table (specified as
Lat/Long). As you can probably tell, most of my lack of understanding
revolves around projections - Are there any good resources you could
point me towards regarding this?

Kind Regards,

Neil.

Neil,

I think the main gap is that you need to express your EXTENT
in meters, which you can manually reproject from lat/long using
something like cs2cs (from PROJ.4).

There are some good general references about projections at
the bottom of:

  http://proj.maptools.org/

Hello.

I am working with Mapserver 4.6 on a windows 200 server machine running IIS.

I want to create a form where a user will input 3 different values for 3
different items on the feature attribute table of a layer.  I want to build
a query from this input, pass this to Mapserver, have polygons selected,
then zoom to those selected features.  I don't know mapscript so I would
like to do this with CGI if possible.  Could someone give me some hints on
how to do this?

Thanks!!

Sounds like an Internet Explorer + cache issue.

You will need to force a refresh by holding down the CTRL button while

Dear friend,

Try to change settings in your browser

I don't know how does it look like in other browsers.

Hi Lawrence

You can use the ITEMNQUERY mode. You have to set the parameters
QLAYER, QITEM and QSTRING. This can be a bit tricky. Take a look at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MapServerExpressions. The
sintaxis may change depending on the data source.

To center the map try setting the MAPXY parameter to shape.

In the QueryMap section of the mapfile you can set how the features
are highlighted.

Best regards,
Jorge

Hi,
Near the bottom of this site is a book called "Understanding Map 
Projections".  It will explain just what projections are and why they 
are used.  Once you understand that you can proceed to semantically use 
projections correctly.

http://fisher.lib.virginia.edu/reference/help/esri/esri_pdfs_9.html

Make sure you read chapter 1 which discusses Geographic Coordinate 
Systems (GCS aka datum) as you will need to understand how they operate 
in order to understand the purpose of a projection.

Dear list,
how can i pass to mapserver via command line (MS DOS) the QUERY_STRING for version 
4.6.2 ?

I have done like this  :


C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin>mapserv.exe 
"QUERY_STRING=localhost/mapserv.exe?mode=
map&map=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\applicazioni\applicazioni_file\comuni.map"


but this works fine only for 4.4.1 version?

WHY ?

Thank u much.

Fabio

Subject: DMS display on MouseMove
Message-ID: <THU.9.FEB.2006.055725.0800.WILLIAMPAUL28YAHOO.COM>

I replay to the email, I didn't thing that the list will not receive the email!!!
   
  My problem isn't how you transform from DD to DMS. I already know this.
   
  I want to make the transformation in such manner that the DMS are displayed ON MOUSEMOVE over the map, which means that the coordinates are changing with position of the cursor on the map
   
  I did that for DD using a script found on the list, but I can't make it work for DMS
   
  My code looks like:
   
  var x2 = event.offsetX; // mouse coordinates in pixels
var y2 = event.offsetY; // mouse coordinates in pixels
  var res_dd = ([maxlon] - [minlon]) / [mapwidth]; // resolution in DD
var x_dd = [minlon]; 
var y_dd = [minlat];
  x1_dd = Math.round(((x2*res_dd) + x_dd)*1000000)/1000000; //coordinates in DD to be displayed on mousemove
y1_dd = Math.round(((([mapheight] - y2)*res_dd) + y_dd)*1000000)/1000000; //coordinates in DD to be displayed on mousemove
  
window.status="Latitude DD: " + y1_dd + " " + "Longitude DD: " + y1_dd;
   
  I tried for DMS:
   
  //for longitude in DMS
  
var dd = Math.floor(x1_dd);
var m = Math.floor((x1_dd - dd) * 60);
var s = Math.ceil((((x1_dd - dd) * 60) - m) *60);
   
  I also have tried to break the resolution in DMS, but I don't know how to multiply the resolution with the coordinates in pixel and then add to minlon
   
   
  I hope I was clear and thank you for the replay

Please send all replies to the list as well. In the meantime, would
the following help --

//(0) Grab the dd value
var dd = obj.value;

// (1) The Degrees are simply the numbers to the left of the decimal
// (using 42.36824 as an example, the degrees would be 42)
var d = Math.floor(dd);

// (2) To determine the Minutes, multiply the number to the right of

// (3) The Minutes are the numbers to the left of the decimal point
// (in this example, 22)
var m = Math.floor((dd - d) * 60);

// (4) To determine the Seconds, multiply the number to the right of
// the decimal point by 60 (example: .0944 x 60 = 5.664)
// (5) The Seconds are the numbers to the left of the decimal point,
// rounded up (in this example, 06)
var s = Math.ceil((((dd - d) * 60) - m) * 60);

// display it

I am not sure what the problem is. Do for DMS exactly the way you are 
doing for DD. There is nothing conceptually different between DD and 
DMS. They express the same thing in different ways -- it is like saying 
1 lb of tomatoes versus 454 gms of tomatoes. Figure out your min, max 
in DMS, and add them to your current mouse coordinates.

That said, look at Clint Johnson's email from yesterday. He recommends 
reading about projections at 
http://fisher.lib.virginia.edu/reference/help/esri/esri_pdfs_9.html, 
and that should be the first thing that all MapServer users should read 
before setting out making mapping websites. Ed McNierny also has 
elaborated on this several times (in fact, I have been thinking of 
taking all of Ed's emails and compiling them into a "must read"... note 
to Ed -- if you save your MapServer-list emails, forward them to me and 
I will do the rest).

Remember, that the pixel space is a rectangle, in that, opposite sides 
are equal, while Lat/Long space is more like a trapezoid, in that, the 
horizontal opposite sides are not equal, and in fact, at the poles, it 
becomes a triangle. If you really want to be exact with your coordinate 
display, project your map into a rectangular coordinate system and then 
you will get what you want.

Jelmer,

I use NavStreets in a MapServer context on a regular basis in combination
with Dutch topographic data given in RD coords.

I use

	PROJECTION
	  "init=epsg:28992"
	END

in the mapfile root and 

		PROJECTION
			"init=epsg:4326"   
		END

for the Navteq layers.

The map is then called using RD (Dutch National System) coordinates.

HTH,

Martijn

Message-ID: <THU.9.FEB.2006.093739.0500.SAGEMARINE.RUTGERS.EDU>

Is there an easy way to reassign a color in a GeoTiff file, i.e. replacing
"water" in a topo image with white or a color which should render as
transparent?

When I try to reassign a color using Class expressions, it then only
renders colors which I specify as Classes.  I'm sure this is something
simple, I'm just neglecting the obvious.

Thanks,

Well, As i sad before:
   
  I am not having problems with theory about projections (I have some 
experience in cartography...and I understand what is a projection), I am 
having problems with CODING, here I am NEW. I just wanted to see some 
examples, but I will find the solution
   
  Thank you for your time

I am not sure what the problem is. Do for DMS exactly the way you are 
doing for DD. There is nothing conceptually different between DD and 
DMS. They express the same thing in different ways -- it is like saying 
1 lb of tomatoes versus 454 gms of tomatoes. Figure out your min, max 
in DMS, and add them to your current mouse coordinates.

That said, look at Clint Johnson's email from yesterday. He recommends 
reading about projections at 
http://fisher.lib.virginia.edu/reference/help/esri/esri_pdfs_9.html, 
and that should be the first thing that all MapServer users should read 
before setting out making mapping websites. Ed McNierny also has 
elaborated on this several times (in fact, I have been thinking of 
taking all of Ed's emails and compiling them into a "must read"... note 
to Ed -- if you save your MapServer-list emails, forward them to me and 
I will do the rest).

Remember, that the pixel space is a rectangle, in that, opposite sides 
are equal, while Lat/Long space is more like a trapezoid, in that, the 
horizontal opposite sides are not equal, and in fact, at the poles, it 
becomes a triangle. If you really want to be exact with your coordinate 
display, project your map into a rectangular coordinate system and then 
you will get what you want.

Subject: Add polygon in shapefile
Message-ID: <THU.9.FEB.2006.153604.0100.>

Hello All,

I'd like to dynamically add polygons to a shapefile (php mapscript 4.80b).
Here is what I do :

$zone_shp = ms_newShapefileObj("zone_shp", MS_SHP_POLYGON);
$shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POLYGON);
$ecluse_sel_a = ms_newPointObj();
$ecluse_sel_a-> setxy($mix,$miy);
$ecluse_sel_b = ms_newPointObj();
$ecluse_sel_b-> setxy($mix,$may);
$ecluse_sel_c = ms_newPointObj();
$ecluse_sel_c-> setxy($max,$may);
$ecluse_sel_d = ms_newPointObj();
$ecluse_sel_d-> setxy($max,$miy);
$line_a = ms_newLineObj();
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_a);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_b);
$line_b = ms_newLineObj();
$line_b->add($ecluse_sel_b);
$line_b->add($ecluse_sel_c);
$line_c = ms_newLineObj();
$line_c->add($ecluse_sel_c);
$line_c->add($ecluse_sel_d);
$line_d = ms_newLineObj();
$line_d->add($ecluse_sel_d);
$line_d->add($ecluse_sel_a);
$shape->add($line_a);
$shape->add($line_b);
$shape->add($line_c);
$shape->add($line_d);
$zone_shp->addShape($shape);
$shape->free();
$zone_shp->free();

It seems to work fine but when I look at the layer, objects are multiline
instead of polygons...
Any idea ??? What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks !

hi guys,

I got a problem here with Internet Explorer. The code I am using works fine
in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer. I have a form to input comment on
the page:


<FORM METHOD=GET NAME="myform">


 <?php if (NewCommentAdd()) {
  printf (" <Table>
          <TR>
           <TD VALIGN='TOP' ALIGN='CENTER'>

                 <TR>
                   <TD><form name=frm_comment id=frm_comment
METHOD=GET>
               <div id=id_div>
               <input type=text name=newComment value='Please add your
comment!' size =75>
               <TD>

             </TD>
          </TR>
          </Table>");
   }
after I input some text and press the button. All the layers which origially
open were dispeared in IE.  I think it is becasue IE didn't keep the
orignial information of the address bar. You can see the difference blow:

before the comment button pressed:

after the button pressed,  in fireforx,

http://url/emap.phtml?newComment=Please+add+your+comment%21&AddComment.x=55&AddComment.y=18&buildings=Y&river=Y&roads=Y&comments=Y&KEYMAPXSIZE=96&KEYMAPYSIZE=74&MapSize=800%2C600&minx=381924.000000&miny=398628.500000&maxx=382196.000000&maxy=398832.500000&imagewidth=800&imageheight=600&CMD=&INPUT_TYPE=&INPUT_COORD=&PREVIOUS_MODE=0


In IE,

Anyone know how to solve this?

Hi,
i have jp2 files in approximately 927*927 pixels in 4 multispectral bands,
coded in 16bits, and i need to provide 500*500 pixels in 3 multispectral

I try to use gdal_translate -ot Byte -of JPEG -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 test.jp2
test.jpeg, but result is completly black.
I have try ather parameter and it is each time the same result.

Do you have any idee?

Hi,

If you want to convert jpeg2000 images to other
formats you can use for example gdal_translate
utility. Jpeg2000 images do not behave badly at
all with MapServer, so if that is the final goal
then it might be worth a trial to use them as they
are.

Hi,

Not most common type of image. I suggest  you to download executables from www.kakadusoftware.com and start  playing with kdu_expand. It is possible that you must read some old mails from user forum about high bit-depth images but not necessarely, those problems are usually in compression. If you are lucky you will get an image in .ppm or .bmp format and you can go on.

Tanguy,

This looks like it should work, or might give a saturated white result.
If you add -scale, it should rescale for you too.

eg.
gdal_translate -ot Byte -scale -of JPEG -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 test.jp2 test.jpg

But that does not appear to be the issue since you are getting black.
Could you make your image available for me to try?  Also, what GDAL
build are you using?  FWTools? your own?

Best regards,

Message-ID: <THU.9.FEB.2006.161308.0000.BURNSYVIVIDFISH.CO.UK>

Hello List,

I am trying to output a map image using cgi and some search parameters 
but have hit a problem.

I created my mapfile in mapedit and have viewed it using mapfactory so 
it seems to work fine from that angle, I am able to use the query tool 
and see data being returned from my layer. The map is made up of a 
single layer of rasters (using a tileindex) and a layer of polygons from 
a shp file.
When I try to use just an image by putting the url in the src attribute 
of an image tag I am running into some problems. I can generate an image 
fine using the following:

http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?
mode=map
&map=mypath\test1rasterandshape.map
&layer=Rasters
&layer=DataPolygons
&mapxy=416049%20383493
&buffer=17500

However when I try to introduce a query using this format:

http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?
mode=itemquerymap
&map=mypath\test1rasterandshape.map
&layer=Rasters
&layer=DataPolygons
&slayer=DataPolygons
&qlayer=DataPolygons
&qitem=DataColumn
&qstring=mystring

I get a map output at smaller size than specified in my map file and it 
is badly pixellated.
If I try to use any other mode (except for map-which simply generates a 
map at full extents) then my image displays as a broken link and no 
image is generated.
Any help or pointers please??

Hi,

Not most common type of image. I suggest  you to download executables from
www.kakadusoftware.com and start  playing with kdu_expand. It is possible
that you must read some old mails from user forum about high bit-depth
images but not necessarely, those problems are usually in compression. If
you are lucky you will get an image in .ppm or .bmp format and you can go
on.

I try to use gdal_translate -ot Byte -of JPEG -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 test.jp2

Hi,

If you want to convert jpeg2000 images to other
formats you can use for example gdal_translate
utility. Jpeg2000 images do not behave badly at
all with MapServer, so if that is the final goal
then it might be worth a trial to use them as they
are.

Hello everybody,
i need to use pictures in jpeg2000 format.

How can i read the content of those files, use it, and save it again under
jpeg, gif, or other formats and compressions levels ?

Great thanks.

And, I am trying to help you with that. Let's take it again step by step:

1. for any given view, you know the dims of that map in pixels as well 
as in your coords, in this case, lat/long (that they are expressed in DD 
or DMS doesn't matter for now).

2. given the above, you can figure out how much real world distance each 
pixel represents by dividing the max world coords in each direction (x 
and y) by the respective pixel width and height.

3. since you know the current position of your mouse in pixels, you can 
figure out the current displacement of your mouse in real world coords 
relative to the 0,0 on your map image using the values from #1 and #2 above.

4. since you know the min coords of the real world that your map image 
covers, adding the values from #3 above to these min coords will give 
you the real world coords of your mouse.

one caveat -- real world coords have 0,0 in the lower left corner of the 
view, while the image in a browser has 0,0 in the upper left corner of 
the view. You will have to flip the y coords accordingly.

If you follow the above logic, and follow your DD code, you will 
understand it and everything will be clear.

Once you get the above under your belt, showing lat/long in DD vs. DMS 
is just a matter of units. That conversion you already know.

Another hint -- download the code from just about any MapServer example, 
and you will find the above code in there somewhere. For starters, look 
at Steve Lime's basic examples. They are great for learning.

Good luck.

Should work although I don't remember exactly how. I think you have to define 
only one newLineObj and add to it all the vertex of your polygon PLUS the 
first vertex. Then put this single closed line into your new shape.
Something like :
$line_a = ms_newLineObj();
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_a);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_b);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_c);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_d);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_a);
$shape->add($line_a);
$zone_shp->addShape($shape);
$shape->free();
$zone_shp->free();

Hope it'll help.

Nevermind, I just figured it out by going through the tutorial again.  For those who are curious,
the OFFSITE parameter works wonders.

Now I'm onto my next challenge of the day: figuring out the actual extents of an outputted image.

MapServer is a lot of fun once you know what you're doing!

Thanks to Jorge for giving me some direction.

I am still stumped however.  The article Jorge referred me to says that a
windows machine does need to specify a QITEM.  When I set up my query using
3 different items, it acts like it is selecting, but no results are returned
and nothing is highlighted or zoomed to on the map.  Here is how the query
is returned in the URL:

&qstring=%27%5BSECTION_%5D%27%3D21+AND+%27%5BTWP%5D%27%3D80+AND+%27%5BRNG%5D
%27%3D19&qlayer=Sections&qitem=&shapeindex=&savequery=

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also find that documentation on all the query modes is hard to find.  If
anyone has a comprehensive document explaining how all the query modes work,
I would love to see it.

Should work although I don't remember exactly how. I think you have to
define 
only one newLineObj and add to it all the vertex of your polygon PLUS the 
first vertex. Then put this single closed line into your new shape.
Something like :
$line_a = ms_newLineObj();
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_a);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_b);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_c);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_d);
$line_a->add($ecluse_sel_a);
$shape->add($line_a);
$zone_shp->addShape($shape);
$shape->free();
$zone_shp->free();

Hope it'll help.

Anyone can help me?
How can I set a point on map using GPS coordinate (latitude/longitude) ?
The user will input latitude and longitude coordinates and the software 
must draw a point on map.

PG Lightning is a pretty good GUI also, but pgAdmin III appears to have the
edge in my book. If you are interested in editing PostGIS data through a
web-mapping interface you should check out the Flexible Internet Spatial
Template (FIST: http://datashare.gis.unbc.ca/fist/) which has built in
PostGIS editing capabilities.

Hello,

I would like to know if there was ever a successful resolution to Frank's
question below. I am in the same situation: I cannot get the OGR virtual
layer to render on my map.

I have had no problem with points. However when I try to render a virtual
polygon I get no error, just no feature on the map. The other layers all
render without problem. I get no error from OGRINFO either.

I've tried a number of different ways of configuring the OVF file, the
data in the database, and the MAP file. Numerous combinations result
in "success" in the sense of no errors, but still no features.

Here is my most recent attempt:
Connection: I'm using an ODBC connection to an MS Access database. The
ODBC connection is called "parcel_test".

OVF:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="parcel_test">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:parcel_test,PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcDataSource>
  <SrcSQL>SELECT GEOMETRY FROM PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcSQL>
 <GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType>
 <GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="GEOMETRY"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

MAP:
  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS ON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END

I've got one record in the PROPERTY_VIRTUAL table, with the GEOMETRY value
set as follows:
POLYGON('501453.34 4800585.97,501576.14 4800590.44,501569.85
4800522,501471.61 4800521.63,501453.34 4800585.97')

I've also tried storing the geometry without the quotes, brackets, and
keyword POLYGON but it doesn't change the result.

I've captured this output when I refresh the map:
msOGRFileOpen(parcel_test.ovf)...

Hello Mark,

Have you tried adding a PROJECTION to the LAYER containing the ovf file
and/or the ovf file?

Something like:

  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS DEFAULT
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    # fill projection parameter, e.g. 28992 for Dutch system
    PROJECTION
	"init=epsg:12345"
    END
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END


In the past I had situations where I needed to put the PROJECTION in the
LAYER and not in the OVF file.

Also, use STATUS DEFAULT for testing purposes so the layer is always on.

Regards,

Emil

I will try that. However, my understanding of PROJECTION is that it is not
required unless you have data in more than one projection, or want to
display the data in a projection different from the one the data is in. Is
that not correct?

Thanks.

Hello Mark,

You are correct with your explanation about PROJECTION but since I had this
case last year where I did have to add PROJECTION to an OVF layer although
all data was in the same projection I thought it might be worth trying it.

However, I have not fully test cased this and I don't know enough about the
underlying code to be sure this was the (right) solution to the problem.

Regards,

Emil

I will try that. However, my understanding of PROJECTION is that it is not
required unless you have data in more than one projection, or want to
display the data in a projection different from the one the data is in. Is
that not correct?

Thanks.

Hello Mark,

Have you tried adding a PROJECTION to the LAYER containing the ovf file
and/or the ovf file?

Something like:

  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS DEFAULT
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    # fill projection parameter, e.g. 28992 for Dutch system
    PROJECTION
	"init=epsg:12345"
    END
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END


In the past I had situations where I needed to put the PROJECTION in the
LAYER and not in the OVF file.

Also, use STATUS DEFAULT for testing purposes so the layer is always on.

Regards,

Emil

Hello,

I would like to know if there was ever a successful resolution to Frank's
question below. I am in the same situation: I cannot get the OGR virtual
layer to render on my map.

I have had no problem with points. However when I try to render a virtual
polygon I get no error, just no feature on the map. The other layers all
render without problem. I get no error from OGRINFO either.

I've tried a number of different ways of configuring the OVF file, the
data in the database, and the MAP file. Numerous combinations result
in "success" in the sense of no errors, but still no features.

Here is my most recent attempt:
Connection: I'm using an ODBC connection to an MS Access database. The
ODBC connection is called "parcel_test".

OVF:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="parcel_test">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:parcel_test,PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcDataSource>
  <SrcSQL>SELECT GEOMETRY FROM PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcSQL>
 <GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType>
 <GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="GEOMETRY"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

MAP:
  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS ON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END

I've got one record in the PROPERTY_VIRTUAL table, with the GEOMETRY value
set as follows:
POLYGON('501453.34 4800585.97,501576.14 4800590.44,501569.85
4800522,501471.61 4800521.63,501453.34 4800585.97')

I've also tried storing the geometry without the quotes, brackets, and
keyword POLYGON but it doesn't change the result.

I've captured this output when I refresh the map:

Well, I've tried it and this is what I found:
-adding a Projection statement in the MAP file changed nothing. I added
PROJECTION elements to each layer, and played around with changing layers to
different projections - the other layers all worked fine, reprojection
worked fine etc. 
-adding the EPSG in the OVF file *finally* generated an error:
[MapServer Error]: msOGRFileOpen(): Open failed for OGR connection
`parcel_test.ovf'.
Failed to import LayerSRS `EPSG:26917'.

The OVF file now looks like this:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="parcel_test">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:parcel_test,PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcDataSource> 
 	<SrcSQL>SELECT GEOMETRY FROM PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcSQL>
	<GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType>
	<GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="GEOMETRY"/>
	<LayerSRS>EPSG:26917</LayerSRS>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

I don't know why this would fail: the epsg file in proj\nad folder has this
code defined, and mapserver is able to use it for the other layers (which
are shapefiles). 

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help so far.

Mark,

You are correct about not needing any projection elements when all data 
is of the same projection; however, this is because MapServer will 
assume all layers use the same projection 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/projection             
at bottom under Important Notes).

But for that to happen Mapserver will need to read that projection from 
the ciudad layer as ogrinfo clearly stated the following about the 
parcel_test layer...

Layer name: PROPERTY_VIRTUAL
Geometry: Unknown (any)
Feature Count: 1
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)

Thus it wouldn't hurt to explicitly state the projection.
However, since no errors were produced when creating the map image, I 
have a "feeling" that this may be an extent issue.


Look at the map file and your polygon.  Are you *sure* that your 
polygon's geometry fits inside of your specified extent?

EXTENT -90.760314 14.252771 -90.210352 14.937117

vs

POLYGON('501453.34 4800585.97,501576.14 4800590.44,501569.85
4800522,501471.61 4800521.63,501453.34 4800585.97')


Cheers,
Clint

I understand that mapserver now has fastcgi support. I would like to take
advantage of this. I found a HOWTO on fastcgi under windows
(FastCGIOnWin32), however that appeared Apache specific. I followed the
links from the fastcgi home page and found a Windows binary distribution
from 2002, consisting of a zip file with 2 DLLS, one nsapi and the other
isapi.

But - no instructions. What do I so with the Isapi DLL? Do I need to
enable this extension in IIS, do I just copy the dll to my system32
folder... Anybody?

My environment is windows 2003 server, PHP running as CGI, and mapserver
with PHP mapscript.

Thanks in advance.

Clint,

Thanks for the response, but you may be getting my posting and the one I was
responding to mixed up. My extent is defined in my MAP file as follows:
  EXTENT 500599 4799427 502325 4801598   
I derived the coordinates for my sample polygon by actually looking at the
map of the other layers... so I can't see this being an extents issue.

Thanks.

Mark,

You are correct about not needing any projection elements when all data 
is of the same projection; however, this is because MapServer will 
assume all layers use the same projection 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/projection

But for that to happen Mapserver will need to read that projection from 
the ciudad layer as ogrinfo clearly stated the following about the 
parcel_test layer...

Layer name: PROPERTY_VIRTUAL
Geometry: Unknown (any)
Feature Count: 1
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown)

Thus it wouldn't hurt to explicitly state the projection.
However, since no errors were produced when creating the map image, I 
have a "feeling" that this may be an extent issue.


Look at the map file and your polygon.  Are you *sure* that your 
polygon's geometry fits inside of your specified extent?

EXTENT -90.760314 14.252771 -90.210352 14.937117

vs

POLYGON('501453.34 4800585.97,501576.14 4800590.44,501569.85
4800522,501471.61 4800521.63,501453.34 4800585.97')

Clint

Mark,

I had to do quite a bit of hacking to get all the components together
to make fastcgi work under Apache on win32.   I'm sure it can be made to
work under IIS, but I'm not saying it will be easy.  I have certainly
never tried, so I have no idea what issues you will run into.

Best regards,

Hello all, i was wondering can we remove the overlapping of labels from
different layers in a mapfile and display the labels so that each and every
label is visible.


Any suggestions ...

Hi Krishna,

Make sure that LABELCACHE is set to ON in your layers. (the default
setting), it will then cache the labels to be drawn last, to avoid the
overlapping.

Here's the relevant page in the documentation:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer

I set the label cache to On but didnt find any major difference, i even
varied the position to lc,cc,uc and others and checked but no use.

Is there any other way that we can avoid the over lapping of the labels.

Thanks for your time .....

hi, it's possible to reduce the number of colours in a TIF image from
24bit to 16?

All softwares I tried (Photoshop, Gimp, Imagemagick) supports colour
reduction to a maximum of 256.

Hi

I have been testing the WFS FILTER with Mapserver.

Is it possible to make a property search that is not case sensitive?

Been testing with this filter, that works fine:
<Filter>

But if i change the "<Literal>AR*</Literal>" to lower case e.g. "<Literal>ar*</Literal>" i get no hits.

Does Mapserver support case insensitivity in WFS FILTER search?

I am running on Windows with Mapserver 4.8.1

Subject: Query template bug with MapServer 4.8.1
Message-ID: <FRI.10.FEB.2006.053830.0600.SIGCMALBUFEIRA.PT>

Hi,

I think there?s a small bug on the query template with Mapserver 4.8.1.
When using the [shpxy] substitution string with no formatting options, the
result is the list of the feature coordinates with a coma (,) after the x
coordinate. According to the documentation the coma is used only as default
after the xy pair coordinates, and this was the behaviour on previous
versions (4.6.1).

My query template file is:

<record id='[shpidx]'>
  <fields>
     <field name="id" value='[id]' />
     <field name="extent" value='[shpext]' />
     <field name="geometry" value='[shpxy precision=3]' />
  </fields>
</record>

The cgi request  is:
http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe?
map=mapa.map&mode=itemnquery&map_querymap_size=561 358&mapsize=561
358&qlayer=streets&qitem=id&qstring=4190&mapext=shapes&layers=base


The response from the template is:

<layer name='streets'>
  <recordset count='1'>
    <record id='4190'>
      <fields>
         <field name='id' value='11395677371140' />
         <field name='extent' value='-9512.457539 -285709.456778 -
9465.472836 -285607.320406' />
         <field name='geometry' value='-9465.473,-285607.320 -9506.031,-
285709.457 -9512.458,-285706.544' />
      </fields>
    </record>
  </recordset>
</layer>

I get the correct result if I change the geometry formatting options in the
query template file to write a space after the x coordinate:

<field name="geometry" value='[shpxy xf=" " precision=3]' />

Is this a bug or the default values changed?

I?m using a Windows XP machine with IIS 5.0.

Thanks,

Subject: php/mapscript queryByRect on raster files
Message-ID: <FRI.10.FEB.2006.055354.0600.MARO.JAMTISCALI.IT>

Hi guys,

i'm implementing queryByRect on raster files using php/mapscript.
The script i've written (see following code) works well, but i have a little
problem when i make queries on large areas...
It seems that the getShape function uses a very large amount of memory on
the server, so i put $shape->free(); but it seems to do nothing..
Any suggestion on how to free shared memory on server?


   $query_rect = ms_newRectObj();
   $query_rect->setextent($westlon, $northlat, $eastlon, $southlat);
   @$layer = $map->getLayer(0);
   $return = $layer->queryByRect($query_rect);
   if($return == MS_SUCCESS){

        $num_results = $layer->getNumResults();
        $layer->open();

        for($i=0; $i<$num_results; $i++){

            $shape = $layer->getShape(0, $i);
            $values = $shape->values;

            // output
            echo $values['value_list'];
            echo '<br>';

            $shape->free();   // ??????
            unset($shape);
            unset($values);

         }

      $layer->close();
      $map->freequery(0);
      $query_rect->free();

    }

Subject: Online raster processing?
Message-ID: <FRI.10.FEB.2006.085715.0600.TEEMU.MAKELAARBONAUT.COM>

In MapServer Documentation "Raster Data Access" is a following example:

"CLASS
    NAME "near white"
    EXPRESSION ([red] > 200 AND [green] > 200 AND [blue] > 200)
    STYLE
      COLOR 0 255 0
    END
END"

However, it is also stated that "Raster classifications always take place on
only one raster band. It defaults to the first band in the referenced file,
but this can be altered with the BANDS PROCESSING directive."

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CLASSIFY SEVERAL BANDS?

My problem:
I have large set of aerial images. Map file, which work fine:
"LAYER
 NAME "Aerial images"
 TYPE RASTER

 STATUS ON
 MINSCALE 40
     MAXSCALE 50000

 PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:2393"
       END

 TILEINDEX "ilmakuvat.shp" #image format is ECW
END"

I need to reclassify images online so that near white colors would be set to
250,250,250. So, I tried this:

LAYER
 NAME "Classified"
 TYPE RASTER

 STATUS ON
 MINSCALE 40
     MAXSCALE 50000

 PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:2393"
       END

 TILEINDEX "ilmakuvat.shp" #image format is ECW
 PROCESSING "BANDS=1,2,3"

   CLASS
     NAME "near white"
     EXPRESSION ([red] > 250 AND [green] > 250 AND [blue] > 250)
     STYLE
       COLOR 250 250 250
     END
   END
END

But it does not work.

Alone "PROCESSING "BANDS=1,2,3" or "PROCESSING "BANDS=3,2,1" work fine and
produces images with different color scheme.

PROCESSING with one (1) band only works with CLASS definition. So map file:
"PROCESSING "BANDS=2"
...
CLASS
   NAME "near white"
   EXPRESSION ([red] > 250 AND [green] > 250 AND [blue] > 250)
   STYLE
     COLOR 250 250 250
   END
END"
Generates an image with some red pixels, otherwise white. This is fine.

However, if there is CLASS definition and PROCESSING of several bands
(PROCESSING "BANDS=1,2,3") at the same time no image is generated.

What should I do?

Teemu,

No, it is not currently possible to classify several bands.
The above "near white" example only works meaningfully for
one band files with a color table.  In which case it will
select all pixels who's color table entries are near white.

Internally raster classification in Mapserver works by classifying
in a lookup table, and this precludes multi-band operations.  In any
event, the expression lookup approach in mapserver is slow enough that
I would not want to try it for each pixel which is what would be
required for real multi-band classification.

Sorry!

Best regards,

I have compiled mapserver 4.6.2 under Windows 2000..
I have compiled the following libraries :

After compiling I have installed mapserver,  following HOW TO..instructions on the web site.

When I test the installation the response is OK : "NO QUERY_STRING to decode"

The problem is : when I do a request for a simple map file (few layers and limitated SIZE, 
100 x 100 or 200x200 pixels) mapserver works fine, but when I do  not simple requests 
(more layers, bigger SIZE, 500 x 500 or 800 x 600) mapserver returns this error :

Hi list
I'm trying to solve this problem:
map server uses a layer "buildings" from Postgres, queryable and query
works fine.
I would query an element in the layer, a single building, and besides the
building_id and parcel number
I would like to query an other table in Postgres, say "homeowner" , with
columns building_id, homeowner_name,home_value
and show results in mapserver query.If possible not as a joined table, I'd
prefer a separate result with header and footer.

Any suggestion?
Another question: when using query map with option HILITE, selected items
are hilighted if are polygons but if are lines they don't. Why?
Missing something in mapfile?

Any help much appreciated, ty

This is not a compilation error, I'd say the error message is quite
clear and please do NOT post subjects in upper case.

Either the path is incorrect or the permissions on the file prevent
mapserver from opening it.

Subject: OGR+ODBC with Debian Sarge Mapserver
Message-ID: <FRI.10.FEB.2006.120707.0500.JEREMY.RAWDURHAMNC.GOV>

I'll follow up my own post regarding getting ODBC access to work in
mapserver under Debian "sarge", since I now have this working (and so
others who might later search for a solution to this can be encouraged).
 
Straight recompilation proved to be an easy ticket to getting mapserver
working with Debian+Sarge+ODBC (and I upgraded to mapserver 4.8.1 in the
process, which may also have helped).  I was a bit intimidated about
recompilation from having tried this once before when I was running on
'woody' (older Debian version), and then had to deal with backports and
other such ugliness.  The present process is pretty painless since all
the required support libraries are already built in suitable development
versions as Debian packages.
 
So it really just boiled down to unpacking the mapserver source
distribution into a suitable directory, doing "./configure"  a few times
with suitable options turned on (and getting the missing packages as
they were identified) and finally doing a "make".  After everything
compiled, I just copied the revised mapserver into my cgi-bin folder
under a new name (so the old mapserv is still there just in case) and
I'm now happily displaying X/Y map points from a MySQL data table (even
using a rather more complicated query than shown originally).
 
I hope someone benefits from this someday...

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] OGR+ODBC with Debian Sarge Mapserver
 
Question:
 
Does OGR ODBC access to a database table containing X/Y data work in the
standard Debian sarge Mapserver package (as opposed to having to compile
it from the ground up myself)?
 
Details:
 
I've been happily running the Debian sarge standard package of Mapserver
(version 4.4.1) for a number of months.  The data sources for this
project have (until now) all been in shapefiles and inline features
(passed in via CGI).  I'm now trying to enlarge the application to
display point data from a MySQL database table containing X/Y data.
Following the terse but workable how-to on the Mapserver website, I've
got ODBC up and running and verified it all the way through using
ogrinfo (from the standard sarge gdal package) to access the data.
Unfortunately, my mapserver (and also shp2img) perform a segmentation
fault every time they try to access the ODBC layer, with no indication
of what's wrong.
 
All I'd really like to know is if someone has gotten this to work (or
equally, if someone knows for sure that the standard sarge package does
not have suitable capabilities compiled in, or if it conflicts with
something else etc.) before I set about building the whole mapserver
setup from scratch.
 
Here's the test.ovf file (OGR Connection definition), which as I noted
works fine with ogrinfo (the file lives in my SHAPEPATH):
 
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name='mypoints'>
    <SrcDataSource>ODBC:user/password at MySQL</SrcDataSource>
    <SrcSQL>Select * from mypoints where (ptid&lt;100) </SrcSQL>
    <GeometryField encoding='PointFromColumns' x='xcoord' y='ycoord' />
    <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>
 
Here's the (very basic) layer definition from the mapfile - the "circle"
symbol is defined and works in other layers.
 
LAYER
    NAME "mypoints"
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "test.ovf"
    DATA "mypoints"
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POINT
    CLASS
        STYLE
            COLOR 0 0 0
            SIZE 2
            SYMBOL "circle"
        END
    END
END
 
Any help or advice much appreciated.

One option is to use de FEATURE object, you can include into your layer 
definition something like:

FEATURE
  POINTS
     lat value   long value
  END
END

and include the symbol for that point, something like...
CLASS
  SYMBOL 'square'
  SIZE 10
  COLOR 255 0 255
END

Since mapserver expects coordinate values in x,y you probably want to 
enter your data below as long lat instead of lat long.

Any pointers on how to handle something like this.

I believe the defaults have changed to match the the specs for an image map, which

the documentation when I get a moment. I've created a bug (#1656) to make sure it

>>> Ricardo Sena <sig at CM-ALBUFEIRA.PT> 02/10/06 5:38 AM >>>
Hi,

I think there's a small bug on the query template with Mapserver 4.8.1.
When using the [shpxy] substitution string with no formatting options, the
result is the list of the feature coordinates with a coma (,) after the x
coordinate. According to the documentation the coma is used only as default
after the xy pair coordinates, and this was the behaviour on previous
versions (4.6.1).

My query template file is:

<record id='[shpidx]'>
  <fields>
     <field name="id" value='[id]' />
     <field name="extent" value='[shpext]' />
     <field name="geometry" value='[shpxy precision=3]' />
  </fields>
</record>

The cgi request  is:
http://localhost/scripts/mapserv.exe? 
map=mapa.map&mode=itemnquery&map_querymap_size=561 358&mapsize=561
358&qlayer=streets&qitem=id&qstring=4190&mapext=shapes&layers=base


The response from the template is:

<layer name='streets'>
  <recordset count='1'>
    <record id='4190'>

I get the correct result if I change the geometry formatting options in the

Is this a bug or the default values changed?

Hi folks: Well, the vote to join the OSG Foundation has ended in a  landslide- 74 in favor with 1 (a user
curiously named JackD) dissenter. With that, RFC 10 passes and the  MapServer Project can proceed
and join the foundation.  How that happens is still a bit of a mystery. The interim foundation board is
working to develop the formal process. To be sure, it will involve  combing over the MapServer codebase
to address any potential intellectual property or copyright issues.

So what does this mean for MapServer users? For the most part it will be business as usual. The same
folks that have been working on the MapServer project will continue to do so. The Technical Steering
Committee will remain intact and continue to oversee software development.

In the short term you  may start to see project infrastructure (bug reporting, mailing lists, etc...) move
from University to Foundation servers.

In the long term we hope you will continue to see MapServer flourish and benefit from living alongside
other great Open Source projects.

Yes and I tested, that I can safely ignore those ..., because they have

But the next problem is that I can get those example value for M an M0. They
are sligtly different for the given example (from EPSG quidance

I checked many of the sources of Transverse Mercator formulas description
(EPSG of course and other) they all looked the same.
I checked my implementations of formulas not only twice, but the result is
the same.

P.S. Sorry about looking like offtopic - you could ask why I need to
implement things that already has in proj4. I just have a case, when it is
difficult to use, but finaly data any way will come to Mapserver.

Subject: Raster Re-projection
Message-ID: <FRI.10.FEB.2006.163847.0800.CONDITSDSC.EDU>

I've got a mapfile that draws perfectly in epsg:4326 - with both raster
and vector data (also in epsg:4326).

Under certain application conditions, I need to re-project the map into
a polar view.  To do this I change projection string to

PROJECTION

"proj=laea"

"lat_0=-90"

END

This works very well for all of my vector data, but none of my raster
data appears.  The raster data is in AAI/Grid format.  Will this raster
format not re-project?  Should I use a different polar projection?

 

Thanks!

 

Chris

Ning,

 Are you using mapserver as a CGI or via mapscript? Using mapscript
might be more flexible for this kind of task. If you're using the CGI,
it's possible to change mapfile parameters via URL:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/controls
and scroll down to "Changing map file parameters via a form or a URL"

 I haven't tried this out so you may need to adjust it but you could
try &map_projection="proj=latlong" .

Also, keep in mind that you'll have to adjust the extents of the image
since that will change with the projection.

Subject: anti-alias cartoline causes some map images to crash
Message-ID: <SAT.11.FEB.2006.084231.0000.ANGUS_SCOWNYAHOO.CO.UK>

I am using php mapscript to generate map tiles.  On
certain tiles the php process dies and apache returns
an error 500 (internal server error)

The apache error log has "Premature end of script
headers: php.exe" 

If I adjust some of the line sizes in my .map file the
tile may then render.  It seems to be chocking on
either the complexity of a geometry or the actual
anti-alias process.  98% of the tiles render well.  

How do I work out what is causing the crash? 
Currently I  think it might be the gd image render (to
PNG24) as if I turn of anti-alias and render to PNG
then all tiles generate correctly.  

Is there a way I can pinpoint what mapserver doesn't
like ?  I have both windows and linux boxes at my
disposal.  I can't seem to get php to give me any
extra error information but am working on my windows
box at present and can't seem to get php to tell me
any extra info.  Is there a way I get mapserver to
tell me at which point in the render process it fails?
 

I appreciate any assistance, and can provide further
information if required.

I had written a C program and if I remember right, I typed the constants 
as integers instead of floats, that means something like
...(24*pow(cos(...
instead of
...(24.0*pow... .
And therefore the compiler did some type conversion magic.

Hi,

this is how the OGC spec defines a WFS should operate, it should operate 
case sensitive by default.

There is a little tweak in Mapserver to get it to behave case 
insensitive, but it's a mix of WFS 1.0.0 and Filter 1.1 which is 
strictly speaking against the OGC rules.

If you add matchCase="false" to your PropertyIsLike it should work. Note 
other WFS 1.0.0 servers won't support this.

More info at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1381

Best regards,
Bart

I've tested to add the matchCase="false" and it works fine :-)

Since this is not a "OGC standard", is this a feature that will be continued to be supported in Mapserver in the future?

Best regards
Sture

Emne: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] WFS PropertyIsLike case sensitive

Hi,

this is how the OGC spec defines a WFS should operate, it should operate case sensitive by default.

There is a little tweak in Mapserver to get it to behave case insensitive, but it's a mix of WFS 1.0.0 and Filter 1.1 which is strictly speaking against the OGC rules.

If you add matchCase="false" to your PropertyIsLike it should work. Note other WFS 1.0.0 servers won't support this.

Best regards,
Bart

Subject: Compiling windows mapserver with mygis/mysql support
Message-ID: <SAT.11.FEB.2006.232124.0500.MILLER_JOSEPHBAH.COM>

 Hey All,
I am trying to compile mapserver 4.6.2 on windows with MyGIS support.  The included nmake.opt does not include that option.  I added the following variables to the file:

MYGIS_INC = "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\include"
MYGIS_LIB = "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\lib\opt\libmysql.lib"
MYGIS=-DUSE_MYGIS

and of course I added those vars to the Includes, External_Libs, and MS_DEFS.  The compile seems to freeze because it doesn't like -DUSE_MYGIS.  Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could use?

Thanks in advance,
Joe Miller

Hi Sture,

as soon as Mapserver will start supporting WFS 1.1, this can remain one 
of the features. But I don't know when that will be.

The strange thing about filter 1.1 was also that the schema has 
matchCase for propertyisequalto filters but not for properyislike 
filters, which seems to be a mistake on the OGC side (at least that was 
the last feedback I got off-list from Peter Vretanos from Cubewerx, the 
editor of the spec), but can also take time to get corrected on the OGC 
side (a new Filter version, and then waiting for a new WFS version to 
incorporate the new Filter version etc. ....).

Best regards,
Bart

well, a little qualifier required there, because the OP was a bit 
unclear to me. If "by parallel" you mean serving one website using 
MapServer CGI, and another using MapServer/PHP MapScript, both on the 
same computer, then yes, you can.

On the other hand, if you are asking whether you can power a single 
website using two server-side technologies (CGI and PHP-MapScript), 
then the simple answer would be "no."

Even using both technologies in a single website should be possible eg 
by the use of iframes, but IMHO it would not make much sense to do so.

What I sometimes do is develop a web site completely with PHP/Mapscript, 
but also use Mapserv CGI to provide OGC:WMS and OGC:WFS on my data.

Message-ID: <SUN.12.FEB.2006.213200.0600.H.VIOLABOM.GOV.AU>

An issue with Pixmap symbols has developed after installing MS 4.8.

The symbols I am using are in a PNG file which is 42 pixels wide and high,
but I have scaled them in the mapfile to 20 pixels using SIZE 20 in the
class, which used to work fine.
The symbols are now appearing at the full 42 pixels and my SIZE 20 is being
ignored.

I note that this issue has been logged elsewhere by others eg.
http://www.nabble.com/Re:-Symbol-sizing-change-in-behaviourfrom-4.6-to-4.8-t1071878.html

Is this likely to be fixed?
I would prefer not to have to resize my images manually?

Subject: MapServer and dynamic segmentation
Message-ID: <SUN.12.FEB.2006.221655.0600.S.PASHBYPOSTGRAD.CURTIN.EDU.AU>

Hello,

I have a question regarding MapServers capabilities in relation to dynamic
segmentation.

I have only been using MapServer for a few months now and am not sure if
what I want to do is possible.  I am trying to put together an application
for a university thesis project using just the basics of MapServer, (ie,
going by the HTML / CGI way ? and not using anything fancy like MapScript
and PHP programming !)

What I want to do is disseminate a road database, where each road is
chopped up into many segments for different road attributes, with each
segment signalling a change in the road condition (ie, a change in width,
a change in construction type, pavement type, etc). All this data is then
stored in an access database, (with an accompanying shapefile of the road
centreline).

My initial plan was to copy the shapefile multiple times, and for each
copy represent one attribute, (so have one shapefile and add in an
attribute column for the different widths, one shapefile for the
construction types, etc
).  However, this could get complicated and
messy.

I guess this type of data may well lend itself to dynamic segmentation.
But can MapServer work with this sort of complex data.  If I was to get
the road data into ArcGIS / Oracle / SDE and use dynamic segmentation
could MapServer handle this ?  Has anyone else had experience with this
before, or done something similar ???  Would using PostGIS  be any better ?

I suppose all I wanted was a very simple application, 
 nothing too
complicated.

I hope this makes sense !

Any advice or guidance on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Steve.

Are you running PHP as a module? Then you cannot use the dl function. Just
add php_mapscript48.dll to your list of extensions in php.ini like the error

Message-ID: <MON.13.FEB.2006.134744.0100.CANDALTONLINE.NO>




Hello

I am trying to upgrade my Mapserver installation on my Linux (Fedora). Have in the past done sucerssful upgrades from 4.2.3 to 4.6.2, but when i now try to compile 4.8.1 i get this error:

mapogr.cpp:142:28: gdal_version.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [mapogr.o] Error 1

My GDAL version is 1.2.3. 

Do i have to upgrade my GDAL to compile Mapserver 4.8.1?

Best regards
Sture

OK. Still trying to solve the problem...

Is it possible to make this kind of reclassification
PROCESSING "BANDS=1"
CLASS
   EXPRESSION ([pixel] > 250)
      STYLE
         COLOR 250 [green] [blue]
      END
END?

So what I'm trying to do is reserve certain colors from image for another
purposes and thus I need to make sure that image does not contain those
colors. Above I am trying to make sure that in the image there is no pixels
that have red (band 1) values larger than 250. The expression itself works
but how to assign color without changing green and blue values of a pixel?

If this is not possible what would be another solution?

Sture,

Yes, I'm afraid you will have to.  There is some irony that mapogr.cpp
includes gdal_version.h so that it can determine what version of GDAL is
available and work with older versions, but older versions lack
gdal_version.h!  This was introduced in approximately GDAL 1.2.6, but while
you are at it I would encourage you to upgrade to GDAL 1.3.1.

Best regards,

Teemu,

The above is not possible.  It is not possible to substitute into the
values of the COLOR keyword.

I can't think of any way of accomplishing what you want.

Subject: Query/highlight single or multiple layers
Message-ID: <MON.13.FEB.2006.153435.0100.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

I have a point and a polygon layer. Most of the times only the point  
data will be queried, but it can be different too. So, I would like  
to limit the highlighting in the resulting map to (sometimes) only  
the point layer. But in the moment, when drawing a rectangle it  
always highlights the points as well as the polygons.

The doc is saying:

queryByRect( mapObj map, rectObj rect ) : int
Query layer using a rectangle specified in georeferenced map  
coordinates (i.e. not pixels). The query is performed on all the  
shapes that are part of a CLASS that contains a TEMPLATE value or  
that match any class in a layer that contains a LAYER TEMPLATE value.  
Returns MS_SUCCESS if shapes were found or MS_FAILURE if nothing was  
found or if some other error happened.


		//Query the Map
		if (!$imgbox)
			$map -> queryByPoint($click_pt, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);
		else
			$map -> queryByRect($click_rt);



So, it gives me the impression that there is no solution to the problem.

Or can someone help me?

Stef

Dear all,

I created one image symbol (pixmap) to a point layer. However I can not
highlight the selected features in that layer as the symbol is an image.
Is there anyway to solve this?

If your pixmap is transparent, you can draw a circle underneath using the
selection colour.

Hi,
 
I always draw the selection in a separate LAYER which is on top of the map,
and then you can add a STYLE object to your CLASS with e.g. a circle symbol
and set its color to the color you want for selection. The circle will need
to be underneath your PIXMAP (watch your STYLE sequence).
 
For that I use PHP/Mapscript.

Subject: Crash with query
Message-ID: <MON.13.FEB.2006.160204.0100.BAASSPEERIT.NL>

Dear all,

Once again, I have a problem. I finally stopped using the .tab files and 
switched to the "live" Oracle data. Everything goes well, until I run a 
query (to find out what's underneath my mousepointer).

My Query:
http://loopplank/coconjb/scripts/mapserv.exe?mode=nquery&map=../query.map&imgext=189991.7+443456.5375+191827.6+444833.4625&imgxy=339+209&imgbox=329+199+349+219&layers=netherlands+TABCAB

The query.map file is brand new, specially made this query (to test), my 
symbol set is also OK. It's really when I switch from .tab files to 
Oracle that it does wrong. And yes, MapServer *does* display the lines 
properly (i.e., no crash with same .map & .sym files).

How can I find out how, where and why this goes wrong? I only get a "The 
instruction at <some address> referenced memory at <some address>. The 
memory could not be "read"."

I'll try to install a debugger, though I doubt that would do anyone any 
good. Running "Hobu's kitchen sink MapServer 4.6" binaries on WinXP.

Andrea,

If you make queries on large areas, a substantial chunk of memory is
allocated at the point of the query to hold all the results.  The maximum
number of values allowed in a query can be set with the PROCESSING option
RASTER_QUERY_MAX_RESULT on the layer.

eg.
   PROCESSING "RASTER_QUERY_MAX_RESULT=10000"

The default maximum is one million and I think there are 36 bytes of memory
allocated per row in the resultset so up to about 36MB.  Not such a huge
amount as a maximum.

I don't know the details of the proper way of freeing shapes, but it
seems what you are doing is appropriate.

I did a little test, and I don't see any obvious memory leaks in the core
mapserver raster query support.

Best regards,

Message-ID: <MON.13.FEB.2006.104517.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

Angus, et al... There is a problem in GD itself where some bounds checking
is not being done. This leads to buffer overflows. The GD folks are aware of
the problem and have stated it will be fixed in version 2.0.34. No word on
when that might be available nor why they are waiting on fixing such a 
serious bug.

Fortunately the fix is a one-liner. 

In gd.c,  function gdImageSetAAPixelColor() change:

int dr,dg,db,p,r,g,b;

p = gdImageGetPixel(im,x,y);

to:

int dr,dg,db,p,r,g,b;

if (!gdImageBoundsSafeMacro (im, x, y)) return;

p = gdImageGetPixel(im,x,y);

I am using php mapscript to generate map tiles.  On
certain tiles the php process dies and apache returns
an error 500 (internal server error)

The apache error log has "Premature end of script
headers: php.exe" 

If I adjust some of the line sizes in my .map file the
tile may then render.  It seems to be chocking on
either the complexity of a geometry or the actual
anti-alias process.  98% of the tiles render well.  

How do I work out what is causing the crash? 
Currently I  think it might be the gd image render (to
PNG24) as if I turn of anti-alias and render to PNG
then all tiles generate correctly.  

Is there a way I can pinpoint what mapserver doesn't
like ?  I have both windows and linux boxes at my
disposal.  I can't seem to get php to give me any
extra error information but am working on my windows
box at present and can't seem to get php to tell me
any extra info.  Is there a way I get mapserver to
tell me at which point in the render process it fails?
 

I appreciate any assistance, and can provide further
information if required.

I have a development site up and I want to enhance it with a dynamic Zoom

change the map size on the fly, 

Can I add Jbox or dBox to a site without losing the ability to dynamically
change the map size?

Which is easier to implement?

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] New mapping framework: Flexible Internet
Spatial Template (FIST)

Passing along this announcement about an open source project from the 
University of BC.  This is a MapServer/PHP framework with several advanced 
functions people are looking for.  It can optionally use PostGIS in the 
backend so your users can edit and save shapes and attributes - that's the 
most exciting part for me.  Note there is a mailing specifically for FIST 
discussions - see link at bottom.

Tyler

-------------------------------------
The Flexible Internet Spatial Template (FIST) is now available for
download. FIST is an open source (GPL), PHP object based application
that is used to rapidly deploy internet mapping web sites. It provides a
code base with built-in functionality for common internet mapping tasks
as well as the ability to extend the mapping site with custom functions.
Currently it works exclusively with UMN MapServer, but the backend could
be extended to work with any map server.

Key features:
    - Built in tools including:
        - Standard zoom-pan
        - Multiple query and identify tools
        - Distance/area measurement
        - Map markup
        - PDF map making
        - PostGIS editing capability
    - Custom tools: connect buttons/tool icons to external scripts with
ease.
    - Real-time coordinate display

Subject: Problem with pasteImage() in PHP-Mapscript
Message-ID: <MON.13.FEB.2006.113352.0800.ISHRARHYAHOO.COM>

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying to overlay a copyright logo on top
of my output map images that I generate with
saveImave() function in my php file. The logo is
supposed to appear at the top-right corner of every
output image, which are in PNG format.

In order to do this, I have already svaed my logo
image in PNG format. And, I decided to invoke the
pasteImage() function before I call saveImage(), to
overlay the logo on top.

But the problem is that, the pasteImage() function
only takes imageObj as its input parameter, which can
only be generated by the mapObj. So, instead of that,
I tried passing the reference generated by
imagecreatefromPNG() function of the GD library. But,
pasteImage() did not accept that reference as input.

Now, can you guys tell me what would be a better way
to overlay my copyright logo image on top of the map
images. Or, atleast tell me how to deal with
pasteImage() function in this kind of problem.

Looking forward to your early response. Thanks.

Regards,
Ishrar

Hi,

Do you have a world file for your jpeg? See Raster-howto.
What is the state of your layer? (Change to DEFAULT)

Gary,

I think they are about the same to implement, but I have moved away from
jbox (java applets) because of user comments telling me it is working.

Hence I would recommend dbox, less user complaints in my opinion.  I
have implemented dbox with a change map size option.  You can view the
source code at http://www.redlakewatershed.org/rlwdviewer.html. 

Good Luck,

Can I add Jbox or dBox to a site without losing the ability to

Would it be accepetable for you to do it at the map level. Here is an 
example on how to add a copyright :

  You might want to check it and tweak the class oblect to use your symbol.

Define change the map size on the fiy? (perhaps share the canadian site) jbox and dbox were designed to be compatible
with relative positioning- tables and such. As such you can't really make 'em bigger by resizing a control. However there are
ways aound that. It would be easier to comment knowing exactly the effect you were after.

Hello Mark,

The solution for your problem lies in the format of the polygon data.

You should use:

POLYGON (( 501453.34 4800585.97, 501576.14 4800590.44, 501569.85 4800522,
501471.61 4800521.63, 501453.34 4800585.97 ))

Instead of the format you used.

I got it working that way.

Regards,

Emil

Well, I've tried it and this is what I found:
-adding a Projection statement in the MAP file changed nothing. I added
PROJECTION elements to each layer, and played around with changing layers to
different projections - the other layers all worked fine, reprojection
worked fine etc.
-adding the EPSG in the OVF file *finally* generated an error:
[MapServer Error]: msOGRFileOpen(): Open failed for OGR connection
`parcel_test.ovf'.
Failed to import LayerSRS `EPSG:26917'.

The OVF file now looks like this:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="parcel_test">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:parcel_test,PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcDataSource>
 	<SrcSQL>SELECT GEOMETRY FROM PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcSQL>
	<GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType>
	<GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="GEOMETRY"/>
	<LayerSRS>EPSG:26917</LayerSRS>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

I don't know why this would fail: the epsg file in proj\nad folder has this
code defined, and mapserver is able to use it for the other layers (which
are shapefiles).

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help so far.

Hello Mark,

You are correct with your explanation about PROJECTION but since I had this
case last year where I did have to add PROJECTION to an OVF layer although
all data was in the same projection I thought it might be worth trying it.

However, I have not fully test cased this and I don't know enough about the
underlying code to be sure this was the (right) solution to the problem.

Emil

I will try that. However, my understanding of PROJECTION is that it is not
required unless you have data in more than one projection, or want to
display the data in a projection different from the one the data is in. Is
that not correct?

Thanks.

Hello Mark,

Have you tried adding a PROJECTION to the LAYER containing the ovf file
and/or the ovf file?

Something like:

  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS DEFAULT
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    # fill projection parameter, e.g. 28992 for Dutch system
    PROJECTION
	"init=epsg:12345"
    END
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END


In the past I had situations where I needed to put the PROJECTION in the
LAYER and not in the OVF file.

Also, use STATUS DEFAULT for testing purposes so the layer is always on.

Regards,

Emil

Hello,

I would like to know if there was ever a successful resolution to Frank's
question below. I am in the same situation: I cannot get the OGR virtual
layer to render on my map.

I have had no problem with points. However when I try to render a virtual
polygon I get no error, just no feature on the map. The other layers all
render without problem. I get no error from OGRINFO either.

I've tried a number of different ways of configuring the OVF file, the
data in the database, and the MAP file. Numerous combinations result
in "success" in the sense of no errors, but still no features.

Here is my most recent attempt:
Connection: I'm using an ODBC connection to an MS Access database. The
ODBC connection is called "parcel_test".

OVF:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="parcel_test">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:parcel_test,PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcDataSource>
  <SrcSQL>SELECT GEOMETRY FROM PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcSQL>
 <GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType>
 <GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="GEOMETRY"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

MAP:
  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS ON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END

I've got one record in the PROPERTY_VIRTUAL table, with the GEOMETRY value
set as follows:
POLYGON('501453.34 4800585.97,501576.14 4800590.44,501569.85
4800522,501471.61 4800521.63,501453.34 4800585.97')

I've also tried storing the geometry without the quotes, brackets, and
keyword POLYGON but it doesn't change the result.

Message-ID: <MON.13.FEB.2006.142124.0800.JENNIFERGREENINFO.ORG>

Hello,

I'm attempting to customize a query tool written in PHP/Mapscript 
that selects features from a PostGIS database and highlights them on 
the map.  I'd like to also zoom to the maximum bounding extents of 
the selected features.

Does anyone have any code samples that I could look at?

Would I use the PostGIS extent function to get the maximum extent of 
selected features?  Once I have the extent, could I then use the 
zoomrectangle method of the MapObj class?

It seems as though I will need to do some calculations in order to 
get the correct parameters for zoomrectangle.

Any guidance or code snippets would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Jennifer

Kaarigar,

Which distribution are you using? RPM-based (Fedora, Redhat, Mandrake) or
APT-based (Ubuntu, Debian). For example, binaries are available for Debian
3.1 via APT.

If you have a virtual host account then the hosting provider may need to
be "encouraged" to install it for you.

Jim,

The ISP is lunarpages.com and uses Linux (2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp), PHP (4.4.1) Unfortunately, the only access I have is via control panel. I am able to upload cgi binaries to the cgi-bin directory, but I a not sure if that would get me mapserver hosted. Hence the question. It would be great though if it could. They have a great support and see if I can "encourage" them to install the RPM.

Kaarigar,

Which distribution are you using? RPM-based (Fedora, Redhat, Mandrake) or
APT-based (Ubuntu, Debian). For example, binaries are available for Debian
3.1 via APT.

If you have a virtual host account then the hosting provider may need to
be "encouraged" to install it for you.

Jennifer,

you can just set the extents of the mapObj directly using $oMap-

Cheers

Subject: Query Feature from a database source
Message-ID: <MON.13.FEB.2006.183906.0700.BRYCEBTULGAGAMES.COM>

I've been looking at the Itasca demo and see how they query a feature
from a given layer.  I want to be able to do the same when my
information is stored in a database, but I have been unable to figure
out how to do so.
 
I have the following layer:
 
LAYER
  NAME Machine_Outlines
  GROUP Machine
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=thedatabase
password=thepassword user=testuser"
  DATA "outline FROM (SELECT instance_id AS id, Translate(outline,
X(position), Y(position), 0) AS outline FROM instance INNER JOIN
primitive_def_footprint ON instance.primitive_def_id =
primitive_def_footprint.primitive_def_id WHERE primitive_type =
'machine') AS instance USING UNIQUE id USING SRID=-1"
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS OFF
  CLASS
    NAME 'Machine'
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
    COLOR 192 64 192
    TEMPLATE templates/Machines.html
  END
  
  HEADER "templates/Machines_header.html"
  FOOTER "templates/Machines_footer.html"

END
 
And then Machines.html looks like
<tr><td>[lrn]</td><td>[NAME]</td></tr>
 
What I have been unable to figure out is how to get [NAME] to represent
the column 'name' from the instance table of my database.

Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.093700.0200.JANEKS.KAMEROVSKISSILVA.LV>

Hello all!

It seems for me that if I want to use advanced client side scripting, f.ex.
zoomboxes, panning, etc., than I can use client side scipting to obtain
current extent and therefore get map by using mode=map.
But I anyway should to use a template to make some atribute queries, to get
result extent of selected features?
Am I right or there could be another solution?

Thanks in advance,
Janeks

Hi Frank,

thank you very much for your hint,
but I think the RASTER_QUERY_MAX_RESULT, should't be the best solution for
my problem, because i don't need to limit the number of values allowed in a
query, but i need to improve the management of the memory allocation.

I've made some tests, and i've noted that the memory is allocated by the
getShape function. But, in my code, the getShape function is in a for
structure, and in each loop i overwrite all datas (and also i use free and
unset functions!) but it seems that the new $shape object doesn't overwrite
the shape created in the previous loop and it allocates the value in a new
portion of the memory...
How this is possible?
Is there a way to create the object over the previuos, so to use always the
same chunk of memory?

regards,
Andrea

Subject: Mapserver crashes while antialiasing
Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.100115.0100.TWEBERTRAFFICCONSULT.DE>

Hi all,

I'm using mapserver 4.6.2 and 4.8.1 on SuSE 9.2 and 10.0 with php_mapscript. 
I've compiled both mapservers on both machines for using oracle to get the 
spatial information. If I use 8Bit coloring all things work fine (but no 
antialiasing). Within RGB mode the server gets segmentation faults. But 
sometimes it works one or two times (don't know why).

Versions:
 mapserver: 4.6.2 + 4.8.1
 SuSE Linux: 9.2 + 10.0
 php:	4.3.8 + 4.4.0
 oracle instantclient 10g
 apache: 2.0.50 + 2.0.54
 gd: 2.0.28 + 2.0.32

I'm using antialiasing on line and polygon Layers only. But there are raster 
layers also.

Here is an example for both antialiased layers:

Polygon Layer using data from shape files.

perhaps you are using php as a shared module?

Note that php as a shared module is not supported and will quite
likely cause crashes like those you are experiencing.

Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.150538.0530.AS.KHADKIKARNCL.RES.IN>

Hi all,
I have been able to compile successfully on fedora core 4. However I am
facing an unusual problem. When I run:
./mapserv
in the /usr/local/mapserv-4.8.1/
it gives the correct message that the script can only be run as a cgi
application. However when I copied the files to /var/www/cgi-bin/ and
did the same thing - nothing.
I have only recently migrated from windows to linux - so please bear
with my ignorance on basic issues too (in case any). Are there any
libraries or other files that need addressing.
Also, in future would it be possible to install mapserver using yum?
Thanks.
Aniruddha

Yes, there was another issue when I tried to compile with ogr support. I
frankly do not have a clue what the following means:
mapogr.cpp: undefined reference to `OGRLineString::setPoint(int, double,
double)'
./libmap.a(mapogr.o)(.text+0x4af):mapogr.cpp: undefined reference to

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [shp2img] Error 1

...after this I aborted. The earlier binary I am using is without ogr
support.

Hi,

just want to send you a hint about this 3D tool.

Hi list!

I have a question, is it possible to put different kinds of labels for
items which are in the same shape? I mean, if I have points in a shape
that represent cities and i want to put labels with names in diferent
sizes, depending on the city, is that possible?

thanks a lot!

Yes, you can use  expressions in .map file.

for exmaple,

LAYER
  NAME city
   ...
  CLASSITEM "Capital"
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION "1"
    TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
    SYMBOL 2
    SIZE 8

    NAME "Cities"
    LABEL
      COLOR  255 0 0
      FONT sans-italic
      TYPE truetype
      SIZE 8
      POSITION AUTO
      PARTIALS FALSE
      OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
    END
    COLOR 0 0 0
  END
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION /2|3/
    TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
    SYMBOL 7
    SIZE 6
    NAME "Cities"
    LABEL
     COLOR  0 0 0
     FONT sans
     TYPE truetype
     SIZE 8
     POSITION AUTO
     PARTIALS FALSE
     OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
    END
    COLOR 0 0 0

  TOLERANCE 5
END # Layer

Aniruddha,

The above messages indicate a versioning problem with OGR.  The
OGR_G_SetPoint_2D() function is relatively new.  But as long as you
pull in the right include files at built time, MapServer 4.8.1 should
avoid trying to use it. This was not true of some of the 4.8 pre-releases.

My suggestion is to make sure you have any old GDAL/OGR stuff stripped
off your system and then install GDAL/OGR 1.3.2 from source.  Then build
MapServer 4.8.1.

Best regards,

Hi Umberto,

thanks for your advice.

I've configured the apache on the SuSE 9.2 System to use php as a fastcgi prog 
instead of the module. After solving some problems passing the oracle 
environment to the cgi, I got the the same result as working with the moduled 
version with the little difference that the php prog is now crashing.

I get the following error from the apache server every time I use the RGB 
mode:

"Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your 
request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI 
script."

8 Bit works fine but slow??.

Do you have some other ideas?

Regards

Torsten

Subject: PHP/MapScript: How to add a point as an inline feature ?
Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.155216.0100.LVNHVENEGAARD.DK>

Hello list,

Using MapScript 4.5, and I've now re-read the class doc several times, but I
can't seem to find the appropriate way to add points to a layer as inline
features.

Adding features to a layer require shapeObj's. I can create a shape with
type MS_SHAPE_POINT, but can't set the coordinate values.

I can use the x and y to create a pointObj, but can't seem to find a way to
use a pointObj to create a shapeObj.

I probably missing something obvious here, but what ? Please help ....

Best regards / Med venlig hilsen

Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.155826.0100.ARTUR.SKALSKIACXIOM.COM>

lokk a this code:

				$spoint = ms_newPointObj();
    				$spoint->setXY(your x, your y);

				$sline = ms_newLineObj();
    				$sline->add($spoint);

				$sshape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
    				$sshape->add($sline);

				$slayer = $gpoMap->getLayerByName("selpoint");
				$slayer->addFeature($sshape);

this works for me - adds dynamic point to a layer, layer is set in mapfile, like this:

LAYER
    NAME selpoint
    TYPE POINT
    STATUS DEFAULT
	PROJECTION
		"init=epsg:4326"	#lon/latwgs84
	END
   CLASS
       NAME "selpoint"
       STYLE
          SYMBOL 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mapserver\framedefs\etc\tutaj_red.gif'
       END
   END 
END

is this what your looking for?

Subject: Query Feature from a database source
Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.100840.0500.ROBE.DNDCITYOFBOSTON.GOV>

The fields in postgis are lowercase and Mapserver is case sensitive so I
think you have to make [NAME]   [name].  Also you need to put name as a
field output in your subselect.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Query Feature from a database source


I've been looking at the Itasca demo and see how they query a feature from a
given layer.  I want to be able to do the same when my information is stored
in a database, but I have been unable to figure out how to do so.
 
I have the following layer:
 
LAYER
  NAME Machine_Outlines
  GROUP Machine
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=thedatabase
password=thepassword user=testuser"
  DATA "outline FROM (SELECT instance_id AS id, Translate(outline,
X(position), Y(position), 0) AS outline FROM instance INNER JOIN
primitive_def_footprint ON instance.primitive_def_id =
primitive_def_footprint.primitive_def_id WHERE primitive_type = 'machine')
AS instance USING UNIQUE id USING SRID=-1"
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS OFF
  CLASS
    NAME 'Machine'
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
    COLOR 192 64 192
    TEMPLATE templates/Machines.html
  END
  
  HEADER "templates/Machines_header.html"
  FOOTER "templates/Machines_footer.html"


END
 
And then Machines.html looks like
<tr><td>[lrn]</td><td>[NAME]</td></tr>
 
What I have been unable to figure out is how to get [NAME] to represent the
column 'name' from the instance table of my database.

I am now working on issue #1662.
Issue #1164 details how I am trying to tackle the memory leaks: with
unit tests which run a significantly smaller portion of the code. In
fact the ones in the patch run *only* the connection pooling
functions, so it should be MUCH easier to use a debugger and trace
them.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1664

BTW: Benedikt, what did you use, if you did, to trace memory leaks?

Regards,
Umberto

Thanks Artur,

It works, and it was simple, but I just couldn't see it :-)

I had an additional problem, having trouble getting transparent pixmap
symbols to display transparently. I got that solved too, now my display
problem was fixed.

Appararently setting  $layer->set("transparency",MS_GD_ALPHA)  in MapScript
trashes the mapfile layer setting  TRANSPARENCY ALPHA, rendering the symbols
in the layer non-transparent. !??

lokk a this code:

$spoint = ms_newPointObj();
    $spoint->setXY(your x, your y);

$sline = ms_newLineObj();
    $sline->add($spoint);

$sshape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
    $sshape->add($sline);

$slayer = $gpoMap->getLayerByName("selpoint");
$slayer->addFeature($sshape);

this works for me - adds dynamic point to a layer, layer is set in mapfile,
like this:

LAYER
    NAME selpoint
    TYPE POINT
    STATUS DEFAULT
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326" #lon/latwgs84
END
   CLASS
       NAME "selpoint"
       STYLE
          SYMBOL 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mapserver\framedefs\etc\tutaj_red.gif'
       END
   END
END

is this what your looking for?

Hello list,

Using MapScript 4.5, and I've now re-read the class doc several times, but I
can't seem to find the appropriate way to add points to a layer as inline
features.

Adding features to a layer require shapeObj's. I can create a shape with
type MS_SHAPE_POINT, but can't set the coordinate values.

I can use the x and y to create a pointObj, but can't seem to find a way to
use a pointObj to create a shapeObj.

I probably missing something obvious here, but what ? Please help ....

Subject: PHP 5.1.2 and MapServer/Mapscript
Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.163847.0100.ARMIN.BURGERGMX.NET>

Hello all,

I saw on the maptools download page a Windows version of Mapserver 4.8 
for PHP 5.1.2. So I guess PHP-Mapscript works with PHP 5.1.2. I could 
compile Mapscript with PHP 5.1.2 (on Debian 3.1, PHP as Apache module). 
But when I want to load the extension I get still the same error:

/usr/sbin/apache: relocation error: 
/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/php_mapscript_48.so: undefined symbol: 
php_sprintf

Does anybody have a clue what might cause this problem? The extension 
works fine when compiled with PHP 5.0.5. I can send more details of the 
configuration etc. if necessary.

Thanks for any help

Armin

Hi Umberto,

thanks for your advice.

I've configured the apache on the SuSE 9.2 System to use php as a fastcgi prog 
instead of the module. After solving some problems passing the oracle 
environment to the cgi, I got the the same result as working with the moduled 
version with the little difference that the php prog is now crashing.

I get the following error from the apache server every time I use the RGB 
mode:

"Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your 
request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI 
script."

8 Bit works fine but slow??.

Do you have some other ideas?

Regards

Torsten

Subject: Layer not displaying UNLESS name is set to "TABCAB"?
Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.170551.0100.BAASSPEERIT.NL>

Hello again, list,

Once again, I have a very odd problem (though my last problem (the 
crash) isn't solved yet). I have multiple layers in my map, but there's 
ONE layer that doesn't show up...
	
	LAYER
		NAME "TABCON"
		TYPE LINE
		STATUS ON
		CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
		CONNECTION "data\TABCON.TAB"
		STYLEITEM "AUTO"
		CLASS
			NAME "Tubes"
		END
		MINSCALE 1
		MAXSCALE 40000000
	END
	
The silly thing is, that it DOES show up when I set the name to 
"TABCAB"! Any clues as to why this is? I attached the layer as a ZIP file.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

On a seperate note, I seem to be unable to get the styles set up 
properly. Using OGRINFO, I found out that these layers are drawn using 
"mapinfo-pen-2.ogr-pen-0". I should be ablo to have some control over 
this in my symbols file, shouldn't I?

And last, is there any way to override the LABEL settings, when a layer 
is set to STYLEITEM "AUTO" ? I have multiple colours in my layer, so I 
have to let it work on AUTO, but I ALSO want to have LABELs!

Hopefully someone can help me with these questions. I'm almost there! :D

Regards,
Jelmer Baas

Hi Rich! Hi listmates!

I have the same problem.
It seems that when I use "mode=itemnquery" the raster displays always in the 
same position and with the same magnification in the final image (like 
"TRANSFORM FALSE" layers), whereas the vector layers follow the zoom and pan 
correctly.

I'm using Mapserver 4.6.2 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4, compiled like 
almost all needed libraries.

I'll give a try to Mapserver 4.8.1 as soon as possible.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Vito

1. I used "top" to watch the size of the process.
   (I think this doesn't help you to break the problem down)
2. I tried to work with mcheck. (At that time you was "involved" by giving 
a tip ...)
   I made it run to produce this mcheck output. I spent effort in 
analyzing the 
   mcheck-outputfile. At the end it wasn't helpful. I forgot the reason. 
3. Here in my company I have access to rational purify on Windows.
   With the approach you described in bug#1664 you will end up with a 
small(!) 
   C-program. Maybe I could analyze this program with purify. 
   (BUT: The project where I worked with mapserver is over. So
    it is a problem for me to find time and I don't want to promise 
    anything to be done "in time". But I'd *like* to do so ...)

Subject: Important! 1 pixel anti-aliasing seg. faults...
Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.113543.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

Hi all: There have been a number of users reporting issues with 1 pixel wide antialiasing
seg. faults and version 4.8.  There is a problem with GD.  The library does not properly
check pixel values against the image size which can result in a buffer overflow in some
cases. The GD author is aware of the problem but has not released a fix yet- no idea
why since it is a pretty severe error.

Anyway, to use 1 pixel-wide antialiasing you *MUST* apply a small fix to GD. Fortunately 
the fix is a one-liner. 

In gd.c,  function gdImageSetAAPixelColor() change:

int dr,dg,db,p,r,g,b;

p = gdImageGetPixel(im,x,y);

to:

int dr,dg,db,p,r,g,b;

if (!gdImageBoundsSafeMacro (im, x, y)) return;

p = gdImageGetPixel(im,x,y);

I can put together a patch version of the gd-2.033 source if folks are interested.

Subject: Need help w/PostGIS extent of selected features
Message-ID: <TUE.14.FEB.2006.115429.0800.JENNIFERGREENINFO.ORG>

Hello,

I am a new PostGIS and and Mapserver user and could use some guidance.

I'm attempting to customize a query tool written in PHP/Mapscript 
that selects features from a PostGIS database and highlights them on 
the map.  I'd like to also zoom to the maximum bounding extents of 
the selected features.  I can zoom the map object using the below code:

$xmin= "531016";
$ymin= "4164561";
$xmax= "575400";
$ymax= "4199817";

$oMap->setExtent($xmin, $ymin, $xmax, $ymax);

Now, I need to figure out how to get the maximum bounding coordinates 
of the selected feature set from PostGIS.  Below is the SQL that is 
used to select features.  Does anyone know how I can get the bounding 
coordinates?  Would I use an SQL statement?  Are there any examples 
using PHP/Mapscript?  Any suggestions or hints would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Jennifer

// build SQL(s)
     $szTableSQL = 'select * from '.$_REQUEST['result_geom'].
         ' where intersects(the_geom,(select the_geom as my_geom from '.
         $_REQUEST['bound_geom'].' where LOWER('.$_REQUEST['bound_field'].
         ')=LOWER(\''.
         $_REQUEST['bound_value'].'\')))';

     $szSQL = 'the_geom from ('.$szTableSQL.') as foo using unique 
gid using srid=-1';

Hi there,
If you are dealing with esri shape layers (shp+shx+dbf), I think there isn't 
any easy way to delete a shape, as Steve noted a few weeks ago. I don't know 
for other kind of data format.
For esri shape files, the trick is to copy all your shapes except the one to 
be deleted, to a new temporary shape file, and same for the datas (dbf). And 
then to rename your temporaries shp and dbf files to the name of your 
original files.
If you're dealing with a very large number of shapes, you can speed up the 
process by deleting the right record in the dbf file. This is possible, on 
the opposite as for the shp file. But read carefully the dbase doc, I think 
you have to use the "pack" or something command after deleting a dbf record 
to really update your dbf file.
All this done with php_mapscript or maybe another scripting language, of 
course.
Post more if you don't get it.

Hello Naresh,

It is best to ask these type of questions to the list as there are many 
people that can offer ideas rather than just me who may or may not know 
the answer.

Here is how we put on a copyright.

   LAYER
     NAME "copyright"
     STATUS DEFAULT
     TYPE POINT
     TRANSFORM OFF
     FEATURE
       POINTS
         0 0
       END
     END
     CLASS
       COLOR 0 0 0
       TEXT "? 2006 Where 2 Get It, Inc."
       LABEL
         TYPE TRUETYPE
         FONT "arial"
         SIZE 7
         POSITION LR
         BUFFER 1
         COLOR 0 0 0
         BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
         FORCE TRUE
         ANTIALIAS FALSE
       END
     END
   END

If yuo want to put a logo you could put your logo in a symbol definition 
named something like "my_logo" and in the CLASS block add

       SYMBOL "my_logo"

Hope this helps,
   -Steve

It really looks great and no installation is needed.
But do you know how to add personal WMS servers to the globe? There 
seems to be a .vgml that already contains all layers?!

I haven't had time to play with Virtual Globe, so I don't know all the details 
yet. I have some info...
You have to edit the <wms-texture-set> element in the .vgml file and make your 
WMS server open for the Virtual Globe server (if you're behind a firewall). 
You should contact the Virtual Globe contact person about server IP-adresse 
and further details.

So Virtual Globe won't call my WMS directly in my network but will ask 
at the Virtual Globe server to retrieve the WMS maps?!

I don't know how this is implemented exactly.
What I know is that VG uses a tailored projection that is better suited for 
northern areas, ref. http://globe.sintef.no/documentation/projection.html

I assume the images from 3party WMS servers are warped in the VG server before 
they are sent to the VG client.

Hi all,
    I'm working to solve this bug too.
    I'm trying to find the core of the memory leak. I will need to share 
information with Umberto about the bugs.

Very nice! Based on the email thread, I think you are fetching
predefined areas from existing WMS servers and are caching them
locally, then feeding them to the viewers. That makes sense and fits
directly into the discussion topic on the WMS Tiling mailing list:

http://lists.eogeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tiling

What we're doing is looking at existing tiling schemes with a goal of
perhaps picking a single tiling scheme that can be used by all the
virtual globes accessing WMS. That way the tile caches could be
distributed and we would be able to use things like torrents, P2P,
squid, etc.

Subject: Strange Query Error
Message-ID: <WED.15.FEB.2006.091208.0500.TIM.PASCOEEC.GC.CA>

Sorry for the cross-post, but I'm unsure of where this problem may be occurring. I have a mapserver installation running in IIS, on a Windows2000 machine. A little while ago, I upgraded all the components to:

PHP 5.0.5.5
Mapserver 4.6
Mapscript 4.6.1
Chameleon 2.0
GDAL 1.3

I am using OGR to create a virtual layer of points, and then filter this layer using an SLD generated on the fly, based on user input. This all worked perfectly before the upgrade. Everything seems to work fine now, the layers filter properly, and display the way they should. However, if a point is queried, the data returned in the Chameleon query window is for the first record in the recordset returned for the virtual layer, unfiltered, every time; no matter what point is selected.

I know of one other person experiencing exactly this behavior, and that installation has the latest versions of all software, with the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Any help is appreciated,

True. There are caching in the VG server, and also some cache prediction about 
the next "view" the user will request. A view consists typical of area, angle 
and zoomlevel.
The VG server also has a internal datamodel for faster retrieval and 
visualization.

Be sure to check the permissions of the file.  While in the /var/www/cgi-bin
directory...

"ls -l"

There should be a line for your mapserv file like this...

"-rwxr-xr-x  1 nobody nobody 754320 Feb  6 10:28 mapserv"

If you have different permissions, run...

"chmod a+rx mapserv"

If you have different owner/group (the "nobody nobody" above)...

"chown nobody.nobody mapserv"

Rather than running just "./mapserv", it's better to run "./mapserv -v".  It
will output the version and supported inputs/outputs.

As for yum, it would be nice if somebody created a repository for apt/yum
access of MapServer, GRASS, QGIS, and all their needed dependencies.  I
haven't found one, yet.  It is possible, it just hasn't been done.

Lars,

I see in your previous email that you're using version 4.5. The constant 
MS_GD_ALPHA was added to PHP MapScript only in 4.6.0-beta1. You will 
have to either upgrade, or use "$layer->set("transparency", 1000)" (1000 
is the internal value of MS_GD_ALPHA).

BTW, while checking that, I noticed an issue with the msSaveMap() 
function in its handling of TRANSPARENCY ALPHA, but that should not be 
related to the problem that you describe above:

Message-ID: <WED.15.FEB.2006.093818.0500.>

Hi there,

We are currently investigating Mapserver to replace our IMS sites (ESRI). I
have downloaded the ms4w package to my machine (Win.XP) and have completed
the installation. Si I have thought.
I can get Apache running and load another application (in my case Ka-Map)
and bring up its interface. In perusing a Ka-Map tutorial to get a demo
site up and running it suggests that I check the map
file using the shp2img utility. When trying to access that utility I get an
error indicating  "the application failed to start because gdal13.dll was
not found. Reinstall the application may fix the problem"
I can see that the dll in question sits in the C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin
directory. I have tried to re-install with no solve as well as running the
setenv application.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eric

The web page http://globe.sintef.no/ says:

To justify its existence and finance further development the Virtual Globe has 
to generate paying projects (SINTEF is a non-profit, self owning, independent 
research institute, and is dependent on income for paying our wages and 
office facilities). We are interested in participating in research projects 
involving distributed geographical visualization and processing and in 
product development. 

We have ideas for using the Virtual Globe for tourist information systems, 
urban and infrastructure planning, air and surface navigation and route 
planning systems, educational systems, general distribution of geographical 
data, and many other kinds of information and entertainment systems. 
If any of this sounds interesting please contact: Rune.Aasgaard_at_sintef.no 

At this stage we do no share source code for other purposes than what is 
described here.

Eric,

I believe to use the programs from the command line you need to run the
C:\MS4W\setenv.bat script.  This sets up the path and other required
variables.

You have to edit the <wms-texture-set> element in the .vgml file and make your 
WMS server open for the Virtual Globe server (if you're behind a firewall). 
Please contact Rune.Aasgaard_at_sintef.no for more information.

The viewer is not mine :-)
The viewer was presented on a seminar I attended, and I thought that it would 
be of interest for the MapServer mailinglist.

Do your filtering in PostreSQL, it will also be faster than trying to
filter with Mapserver especially if you have a two column index built
on features.type and the geometry.


Include the filter in your data statement in the mapfile:
DATA "the_geom from (SELECT * FROM features WHERE
features.type!='%ruolo%') as foo using unique [uniqueid] using
srid=[yoursrid]"

hi david,
ty for your quick help
the very problem is the clause NOT IN , I must use it in a WHERE section,I
think.
I'm building up an exclusion list of some features on user's role
(security sake) and the users role comes from CGI
Your suggestion is very useful for speeding up selection.

Subject: wms extent
Message-ID: <WED.15.FEB.2006.121229.0500.TKIRSTINEJDBARNES.COM>

When I add a mapserver based wms to ArcMap or uDig the map extent defaults
to the max xy and min xy of my largest layer in my mapfile (Ontario)instead
of the extent defined in my mapfile (toronto).  Is there a way to force the
EXTENT defined in the mapfile?

Hey folks I'm trying to rebuild all of the mapserver dependencies and I'm 
getting .h not found errors.  The header files all seem to be in place 
within the source dirs of the deps (png jpeg zlib iconv gd, etc)

I didn't do make install with any of these because I don't want to change my 
base system environment. What do I need to change to get mapserver to look 
for the includes?  Some option to configure I'm missing?

I want to set up a multi-version build environment so that I can have the 
current version libs, betas, and a sandbox type of lib set.

I'm building 4.8.1 on RHE

I appreciate any assistance.

Bart,
Your suggestion worked like a charm.  Do you know where I could find a
complete list of wms commands.  I've tried the mapserver documentation but
it dosen't include wms_extent for example.  I've tried to set the status off
using "wms_status" "off" but that dosen't work

Hi,

There are more possible solutions
1. Move the dll-s to the windows system32 directory
2. Move the shp2img executable to the cgi-bin directory
3. Add the directories of neccessary dll-s to your path
4. There is a bat file in the tools directory to set up path for ddl-s
   in ms4w

There is no status in WMS, only in a Web Map Context (WMC) document 
status is defined. The status is up to the WMS client and not to the WMS 
server.

wms_extent is mentioned in the docs:

I would use a separate area (like /opt) where you can fully install the 
packages without affecting the base system.  When compiling each package 
use the --prefix option to indicate the "make install" target (e.g., 
--prefix=/opt ).  When compiling subsequent packages you will need to 
define options such as --with-png=/opt --with-gd=/opt, etc. to point to 
the installed files you want to build against.

Or you could probably just point mapserver to the compiled source for 
each package (e.g., --with-png=/home/gail/ms/source/libpng-1.2.8).  I 
prefer the first approach.

Please bear with me, I have been working with Mapserver 2 weeks.  I need
to draw a route that follows a road or highway.  I have been asked to
develop an app that will track carriers' shipments.  So if they have a
load going from Green Bay, WI to Minneapolis, MN they want to see a line
drawn between the two cities that would follow a major road.
 
Any ideas?

Tracking it very different from planning. Tracking implies a GPS like 
device that records the current location of the shipment and assuming 
you have collected that information then it is straight forward to 
display it as a virtual data layer over a base map using mapserver.

In this case you need to calculate the route first (planning), which 
would have to be done by some other software or service. Where2getit.com 
offers commercial services that does this, I'm sure there are others 
also. There has been mentioned on this list pgDijkstra which might be a 
solution, but I haven't use it.

At any rate, after you compute your route then you should be able to 
extract the polyline segments to draw the route on your map.

Hi Steve,

So I have finally gotten DEBUG info working, and have made the shptree index
for my shapefiles. I have also gotten PostGIS working and have imported a
shapefile to the DB.  I have created indexes for the geometry field as well
as the OID, and a TAXLOT attribute field, and then Vacuumed/Analyzed the DB.

I did see an improvement in draw time after creating the shptree index, but
I don't see much difference between an attribute query based on a shapefile
vs. postGIS.  My shapefile has about 88000 records. The .shp is about 43Megs
and the .dbf is about 53Megs in size.  What is "Really Huge"?

What I am trying to do is this:
1. Query "Lots" shapefile for a particular lot number.
2. Find all the lots that are within a distance of the lot in question.
3. Gather attribute info about the near-by lots.
4. Zoom map extent to the area in question.

I am either hitting this large shapefile or the postGIS table (or some combo
of the two) 3 times in the MAP file to get everything symbolized properly.
Total draw times are running around 9 seconds.

Is there any other techniques to speed things up?  Am I missing anything?


Thanks,
~Eric

Eric,

Here is how you should optimize mapserver:

1) every *.shp file should have a shptree index, (ie: a corresponding
*.qix) if you haven't done this then don't think about anything else.
This includes on all TILEINDEX shp files also.
2) If you have large numbers of objects that you need to do attribute
queries on consider using postgis for just those layers.
3) I will let others comment on rasters and how to optimize them
4) Set "DEBUG ON" in the mapfile and create a LOG file, then do a
typical mapdraw and look at how long each layer took to draw. Then tell
us about that if it is not obvious how to fix that performance issue.
5) As a last resort, if you have REALLY HUGE shapefiles and they are
drawing very slowly then consider using shp2tile, but talk about here on
the list first.

Let us know if this helps and what your problems are after you have
tried this.

Unless there are good reasons why you need to compile everything from 
scratch, I'd suggest that you have a look at FGS:
   http://maptools.org/fgs/

It provides exactly that, a sandbox with all the dependencies that 
doesn't affect any of the existing libs on your system, all precompiled 
and tested for Linux and installed in a few minutes.

And if you really want to compile everything yourself in a sandbox 
environment then the FGS build scripts are available, that's a little 
more complicated, but you'll find some information at 
http://maptools.org/fgs/index.phtml?page=fgs-sandbox.html

Message-ID: <WED.15.FEB.2006.140622.0800.CONDITSDSC.EDU>

Hi -

I'm having a problem in my c# MapScript application.  Occasionally when
I call 

Map.setSymbolSet(@"C:\absolute\symbol\path.sym");

I get an error parsing the symbol file at line 0 (SYMBOLSET).

 

Is mapscript locking the symbol file?  Has anyone else seen this
problem?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Hi,
This kind of error is usually returned when an illegal word is in the 
symbolset file. Check at the first line of:
C:\absolute\symbol\path.sym

Is there anything special?

If not, can you provide a minimal test script to reproduce the error?

Hi Julien-
Thanks for your response.  Here are the contents of the symbol file:
SYMBOLSET
  SYMBOL
    NAME 'circle'
    TYPE ELLIPSE
    POINTS 1 1 END
    FILLED TRUE
  END
END

The problem I'm having is intermittent and I can't reliably reproduce
it.  My only thought was that for some reason mapscript couldn't read
the file.  Is there any way to embed these symbols directly in the
mapfile instead of referencing the symbolset file?

Thanks,

Chris

Eric,

  I am doing very similar work, so if you want to contact me off-list, 
please feel free.

Some questions first, since you don't say exactly how you're doing this 
now...

>
> What I am trying to do is this:
> 1. Query "Lots" shapefile for a particular lot number.

I assume this means that you're getting a x/y from the user and are 
doing a query to convert that to a lot number (something like 
'14/28/15/27234/000/0520' or 'U-05-27-17-001-000000-00009.0' or the 
like).  This is probably fastest done using Mapscript against a 
shapefile that has an index built.  However, there are lots of 
approaches, and others here may have better ideas.  If you already have 
the lot number (or some other non-spatial ID), you can skip this.

> 2. Find all the lots that are within a distance of the lot in question.

> 3. Gather attribute info about the near-by lots.

This is where PostGIS shines, and where it should be applied, however 
you don't say exactly what you're looking for.  Are you looking for 
Aggregate info?  Like "Average Price of Homes within 1km"?  Or selective 
info like "Light up all homes over $200K within one mile"?  Both are 
doable, but I'm going to assume the second.  Also, if the viewable area 
is smaller than your buffer, do you want to include those items?

Let's assume that your "Lot number" is unique in the PostGIS table that 
holds your shapes (and their attributes).  That way I can just use 'gid' 
for now and most of the SQL will fall out.
For simplicity, lets say that all of the attributes are in one table.

Here's an example of finding all shapes within 3281 feet (1km) of your 
target id (512).  However, this will run ridiculously slowly regardless 
of your indexing:

select gid, parcel_shape  from hills_parcels where 
distance(parcel_shape, (select parcel_shape from hills_parcels where gid 
= 512)) < 3281;

The reason is that no index are being used, because they can only be 
used by the PostGIS operators such as &&.  So, lets modify this to be a 
bit quicker:

gis=# select gid from hills_parcels where parcel_shape && buffer((select 
centroid(parcel_shape) from hills_parcels where gid = 512), 2*3281) AND 
distance(parcel_shape, (select parcel_shape from hills_parcels where 
gid=512)) < 3281 ;

This draws a 2km circle around your shape and only tests those whose 
bounding boxes intersect that to see if they are close enough to count.  
Your parcel size might make you increase or decrease that parameter, but 
I've found that double your distance is fairly safe.  Some will notice 
that we're performing the same sub-select (or close to it) twice.  
Without scripting or PL/PGSQL, this is difficult to avoid, but not a big 
deal (it's a unique id lookup + a centroid() call).

With this request, I select 758 "close" parcels out of 415,733 total in 
about 4 seconds. That is fine for some uses, but for online work, it 
might not be enough.  For times when I need ONLINE access, one simple 
fix usually gets me there: I take that "Within 1 km of the parcel" 
requirement and change it to "Whithin 1km of the center of the parcel".  
This DRAMATICALLY reduces the times needed:

gis=# select gid from hills_parcels where parcel_shape && buffer((select 
centroid(parcel_shape) from hills_parcels where gid = 512), 2*3280) AND 
distance(parcel_shape, (select *centroid*(parcel_shape) from 
hills_parcels where gid=512)) < 3280;

This selects 737 rows in 186 ms!

Another approach is to go one step farther and simplifiy the 
requirements to "Whose center is within one center 1km of the center of 
the target".  With the proper index, it simplifies dramatically (since 
the bounding box of a point is the point), but doesn't actually speed up 
much):

First, we need a centroid() index for this to work:

gis=# create index hill_centroid_idx on hills_parcels USING GIST 
(centroid(parcel_shape) GIST_GEOMETRY_OPS);
gis=# vacuum analyze hills_parcels;
And for pre-8.x Postgresql:
gis=# SELECT UPDATE_GEOMETRY_STATS();

Second, we MIGHT need a quick way to lookup centroid()s by gid, if your 
shapes are very (very) complex.  Either way, it can't hurt, and can make 
a difference if your lot number isn't your primary key.
gis=#  create index hills_centroid_lookup on hills_parcels (gid, 
centroid(parcel_shape));

Finally, the simple request itself:
gis=# select gid from hills_parcels where centroid(parcel_shape) && 
buffer((select centroid(parcel_shape) from hills_parcels where gid = 
512), 3280);

If you go this far, make sure that you use the centroid() index above or 
this final step will get very slow!!

Anyway, depending on what your actual goals are, I think this should get 
you going in the right direction.  If not, please feel free to contact me.

Subject: Behaviour of WFS filter query
Message-ID: <WED.15.FEB.2006.171622.0600.H.VIOLABOM.GOV.AU>

Hello,

This is a general question rather than an issue I am having.

I am wondering about the behaviour of MapServer in processing a WFS
GetFeature requests, with a filter in the URL, reading data from PostGIS or
ESRI shapefile.
eg
http://www4.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/mapserver/mapserv?map=/web/htdocs/mapserver/weather.map&version=1.0.0&service=WFS&request=GetFeature&typename=metarrain&filter=<Filter><PropertyIsGreaterThan><PropertyName>rf9am</PropertyName><Literal>0.2</Literal></PropertyIsGreaterThan></Filter>

Does this sort of request :
1. Return all of the data in the layer to MapServer, which then applies the
filter (meaning there is significant Internet traffic involved)

OR

2. Generate an SQL query within MapServer in order to only request the data
defined by the filter from the database or file (thereby reducing the
Internet traffic)

I hope that this makes sense and someone can provide some information

Thanks in advance
Hester

Yes, just add any SYMBOL block as a child of the top-level map.

Hi Sean-
Is there a way to accomplish this with MapScript?  All I see is a way to
set the symbolset.

What happens in this case is the the <Filter> is transformed into an SQL 
expression and set on the layer's filter element. Then a query is 
performed.  This happens for relativly simple filter expressions where 
it is possible to convert it to SQL expressions.

In any case, all the querying, filter transformation is always done on 
the server and only the resulting features are returned.

Oh, I see. Yeah, it's possible. Here's an example from one of my  
Python projects:

     circle = mapscript.symbolObj('circle')
     circle.type = mapscript.MS_SYMBOL_ELLIPSE
     circle.filled = mapscript.MS_TRUE
     line = mapscript.lineObj()
     line.add(mapscript.pointObj(1,1))
     circle.setPoints(line)
     circle.sizex = 1
     circle.sizey = 1
     mo.symbolset.appendSymbol(circle)

The "mo" name is bound to a mapObj. It's very important to get sizex  
and sizey right, should be the width and height of the symbol in the  
same units as the point and line coordinates used to construct the  
symbol.

To use this symbol

     style.symbol = mo.symbolset.index('circle')

Translate this into C# and you should be good to go.

cheers,
Sean

Argh - the map instance keeps this and works fine, but refuses to write
it out to the map file:

symbolObj circle = new symbolObj("circle", null);
circle.type = (int)MS_SYMBOL_TYPE.MS_SYMBOL_ELLIPSE;
circle.filled = mapscript.MS_TRUE;
lineObj line = new lineObj();
line.add(new pointObj(1, 1, 0, 0));
circle.sizex = 1;
circle.sizey = 1;				
map.symbolset.appendSymbol(circle);

later I use:

sty.symbol = map.symbolset.index("circle");	

which works fine - sets the index properly.  No symbols get written to
the mapfile, however.  Is there something special I need to do to get
the symbols to write out?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Submit a new bug report to the MapServer Bugzilla under the C library

It looks like GDAL won't support MySQl until 1.3.2 (ogrinfo detected my
geometry column as a string despite the fact that I populated the
geometry_columns table).  What was the last version of MapServer that
supported MySQL geometry types before support ended? 

Thanks,

As far as I know native mysql support is no more sustained due to the
lack of activity of the contributor. You might want to use GDAL/OGR
instead.

Joe,

To the best of my knowledge the mysql/mygis support in mapserver
has not yet been removed though it is possible it has rotted a bit
with disuse.

Also, the bold can go ahead and use a nightly snapshot of GDAL/OGR to
get the new mysql spatial support right now.

Best regards,

Subject: Installing MapServer
Message-ID: <THU.16.FEB.2006.060140.0000.FPGUTIERREZ6HOTMAIL.COM>

Hello, my name is Florencia Gutierrez.  I am currently taking classes at the 
LBJ of Public Affairs.  We are trying to learn how to use GIS in particular 
MapServer in order to be able to provide communities at large with a 
software package that is easy to use for their purposes.

I have downloaded MapServer (MS4W) onto my PC (2002).  I have downloaded it 
onto my C: drive and extracted the information using suffits.  I then turn 
on the apache server and tried to access the applications that are 
provided... with no luck.  I went to the ReadMe file and this is what I was 
told:

* To execute the utilities in the Tools folder first execute 
\ms4w\setenv\bat

I ran this as well as trying to put it as an environmental variable and they 
did not work.  If anyone has any ideas as to how I can access the MapServer 
applications I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide,

Florencia Gutierrez

No you cannot use PHP/Mapscript as a WMS/WFS server (out of the box). You
need Mapserv CGI for that. You can consume WMS and WFS services as a WMS/WFS
client though with Mapscript.

Bart

If we start with the common "Start Globe" URL...

http://globe.sintef.no/VirtualGlobeStarter.cgi?name=Europe&dataset=http://globe.sintef.no/globe.vgml&viewpoint=4.787607927703958,27.52509436526137,3178271.6469249073,0.39637688320507086,-60.09160309417106

... you'll find a referencee to a "dataset" (the globe.vgml file).
Download that file and save it to your disk. Or, alternatively, download
the commented version:

http://globe.sintef.no/globe-commented.vgml

Open it in your favorite text editor and try to add a WMS following the
pattern of the ones in the configuration file (you'll get some hints in
the commented version). The WMS server must be visible from the Globe
server, as all WMS images are forst downloaded to the globe server,
transformed, converted and cached there (so that when somebody has visited
a WMS map it is readily accessible for others also), and then sent to the
client.

The .vgml file only needs to be visible from your globe client.

Try this and report success/failure to me!

I often find that the Mapserver site is blocked or inaccessable for some
reason. It causes problems for me when using the online docs in my daily
work.

Is there a place where I can download the online docs formatted for offline
viewing, like a pdf or a chm or something else, even a zipped heap of htmls
?

I have some old html documentation from the old site, but they're not
up-to-date anymore.

(can't browse the site for such as it is - once again - inaccessable to me)

and if I substitute %ruolo% with a string value, i.e. 'technician' the

when using %..%, you have to use LIKE. Try

SELECT feat_id
FROM feat_vis
WHERE feat_vis.ruolo LIKE '%ruolo%' AND
   feat_vis.layer = 'buildings'

Message-ID: <THU.16.FEB.2006.155415.0100.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

Hi,

I ran into a very strange thing:

I run the usual code to get the mapscript library:

			if (PHP_OS == "WINNT" || PHP_OS == "WIN32")
			  dl("php_mapscript_44.dll");
			else
			  dl("php_mapscript.so");


If my php code is correct, everything displays nicely. But once  
something is not correct - a semicolon missing, a bad syntax, etc. -  
the page stays white. As soon as I take the four lines of code away  
(especially the last one), it displays the error messages. But this  
is bad, cause then all my mapscript-related stuff won't work anymore...

Does anyone have an idea why this is?

Thanks for any hints,

Stef

PS: Just for the notes: I am running a Mac, with the kyngchaos  
installation packages.

Stefan, fancy seeing you over here...

Does it work with just the dl("php_mapscript.so"); line?  Since  
they're my Mac packages, I just want to make nothing is wrong there.

I can't remember off the top of my head if PHP can handle single  
statements in if clauses without brackets.  Just to be sure, try (or  
whatever your style is with bracket placement):

if (PHP_OS == "WINNT" || PHP_OS == "WIN32") {
   dl("php_mapscript_44.dll");

Also, check the Apache and console/system logs for possible error  
messages that don't don't get displayed.

Subject: Shapefile support in MapServer?
Message-ID: <THU.16.FEB.2006.085158.0700.SHSAVAGEASU.EDU>

Greetings,

   I'm new to MapServer.  I have a large database application that must rely on 
shapefiles for its geographic data; these are connected to an extensive Access 
(soon to be MySQL) database, with a lot of one-to-many relationships among data 
items.  I have to use the shapefile format to facilitate an ArcPad application 
running on Trimble GPS units.  But I need to also allow web users to add or 
change records in the database and shapefiles.  I'd like to know how to 
add/edit shapes and attributes in ArcView shapefiles through MapServer.  Is 
there a way to do this?  Are there examples available?

Thanks,

-Steve

In your data definition, try:
data "the_geom from (select * from buildings where buildings.pk_id NOT
IN (SELECT feat_id FROM feat_vis WHERE feat_vis.ruolo='%ruolo%' AND
feat_vis.layer='buildings')) using unique oid using srid=-1"

Make sure to substitute in your actual srid and a unique id where I've put oid.

Also, if this doesn't work, send us the output from the error page
that you get from mapserver.  In that error page there will be a whole
section that includes the actual query that was used against PostGIS
that includes the variable substitution.

Hi William,

happy that I was that my database was with your help up-and-running  
again, I attacked my postgres plus now postgis conversion. And  
whoops,... no more map display. I am shocked!! :-)

Ok, I tried it with only

	dl("php_mapscript.so");

But in vain. Still same result. Nothing displays. Not even a simple  
echo.

The apache and sys log don't give any results either. Once I had a  
"LOG:  unexpected EOF on client connection" displayed, but it  
disappeared suddenly...

Gush, what is this magic, that makes disappear everything on my page?!?!

does the testphp.php work?  (loads mapscript and calls phpinfo)

I've had mysterious issues like this in the past.  One correct line  
causes the whole thing to implode and disappear.  Yet the problem  
turns out to be somewhere else.  I've cleaned up code a bit and that  
helps.  Let's see if I can remember...

I hope we're not getting too far off topic here.

The main thing I've found that tends to kill PHP is continuing  
lines.  Like when you concatenate strings together (these are  
separate lines):

$z = 'part of a string' . $somevariable .
'some more';

I think this is correct PHP, PHP is supposed to keep going across  
line breaks until it find the semicolon to close the statement, and  
it works most of the time, but sometimes it's enough to kill PHP.  If  
you need to break lines to make it more readable, close the statement  
and start again on the next line:

$z = 'part of a string' . $somevariable;
$z .= 'some more';

No, it's not PHP. It's related with Mapserver. Actually, I have only  
updated the gislibs and postgres with your packages. So, stupid me, I  
haven't controlled the testphp.php - so there seems to be the  
problem. I will update now all packages with your latest ones.... and  
hopefully this helps!

Dear list,
I want to compile GD library on windows 2000.
The zip package has only the DLL and a .bat file to convert the dll in lib for mapserver.
I'd like to compile GD from source (because I have to use a different compiler and linker)
so I need the source files for Windows and \ or a makefile.
How can I do ?

I have been trying to set up a wms and testing it in ArcGIS, in general
everything works fine but I have some inconsistencies in that I can't figure
out.  First, the min and max scales defined in the mapfile layer object is
not consistent with the min and max scale values in ArcGIS
My mapfile:

      "WMS_SRS" "epsg:26917"
   END
   GROUP "Road Labels"

	   BUFFER 5
	END
   END
END

When this is displayed in ArcGIS the minscale values turn to 667 and max
values turn to 133,333.
I thought this could be a projection issue but all my data is in a zone 17n
utm nad 83 projection.

The other issue I am having is layer status.  I believe the status is
defined client side and by default on.  When I add the wms to ArcGIS some
layers have their status on some have status off with no correlation to what
is defined in the mapfile.
I've attached a copy of my .map, any help would be much appreciated

I have a map file that is supposed to draw streets from a shapefile.  Of

I asked about this a while ago - but got nothing.  I'm trying again...
Anyone know about this??

 

I've got a mapfile that draws perfectly in epsg:4326 - with both raster
and vector data (also in epsg:4326).

Under certain application conditions, I need to re-project the map into
a polar view.  To do this I change projection string to

PROJECTION

"proj=laea"

"lat_0=-90"

END

This works very well for all of my vector data, but none of my raster
data appears.  The raster data is in AAI/Grid format.  Will this raster
format not re-project?  Should I use a different projection string?

 

Thanks!

 

Chris

What does the PROJECTION of your RASTER LAYER look like?  It needs to match
whatever PROJECTION your raster data is in.

MAP
  PROJECTION
    "proj=laea"
    "lat_0=-90"
  END

    PROJECTION

Perhaps because of your symbol definition ? What does it display with

What is the file format and geographic extent of the raster image you're
trying to reproject?  Raster data in "lat/lon" projection (EPSG:4326) in
polar regions is rather badly distorted if not undefined or infinite in
extent.

Chris,

The problem isn't the projection string or the specific raster file format.
It presumably relates to messy issues with polar reprojection and raster i
general.  Can you bundle up a sample map and data that I can use to
reproduce your problem?  I may be able to provide advice or fix things up
a bit.

But then I'll have an extra file lying around.

The original problem was that I wanted to use the same symbol set for
every user session.  I don't know why that failed.  But now I've got it
working - I hacked mapserver so that symbols always gets inMapFile set
TRUE.  This solves my problem for now.  I guess I should add a check to
see if symbolsetname is null.  If not, then write to mapfile, otherwise
write to symbolfile.  Or I guess you should be able to have both!
Symbols in the mapfile and external symbols...

Hi List,

I am making WFS describeFeatureType requests to Mapserver 4.9 (from CVS 
this morning), but the response doesn't list any attributes.  I think I 
have taken all the usual steps to enable WFS, including:

- setting the LAYER's metadata "gml_include_items" to "all"
- setting DUMP TRUE in the LAYER

The same request and map file work against Mapserver 4.6 -- in that case 
the describeFeatureType response lists all the attributes.  Has 
something changed in the new mapserver?  What does it take to allow 
Mapserver to list the attributes?

My LAYER definition is below.

Thanks,

Brock

Hi Travis,

1. I have found the same thing with min/max zoom scales when read into ArcGIS, ESRIs WMS client is full of bugs! Perhaps you could log an enhancement request with them  (http://support.esri.com/) for future releases. (I have logged several and had no response, but the more people who request changes I guess, the more pressure they will feel to improve their product)
2. ArcGIS switches on the first 20 layers in your service by default and ignores any layers that MapServer considers default. 
Hope that helps

I have been trying to set up a wms and testing it in ArcGIS, in general
everything works fine but I have some inconsistencies in that I can't figure
out.  First, the min and max scales defined in the mapfile layer object is
not consistent with the min and max scale values in ArcGIS
My mapfile:

   DATA umap_display_data/orn_local_label

      "WMS_SRS" "epsg:26917"
   END
   GROUP "Road Labels"

When this is displayed in ArcGIS the minscale values turn to 667 and max
values turn to 133,333.
I thought this could be a projection issue but all my data is in a zone 17n
utm nad 83 projection.

The other issue I am having is layer status.  I believe the status is
defined client side and by default on.  When I add the wms to ArcGIS some
layers have their status on some have status off with no correlation to what
is defined in the mapfile.
I've attached a copy of my .map, any help would be much appreciated

Sorry - you did mention the file format already.  Frank's right about
strange edge conditions with polar raster data, and it's best to provide
him with the sample info he requested.

The file is AAI/Grid.  It runs -180 to 180 and -90 to 90.  Will this be
possible?

What is the file format and geographic extent of the raster image you're
trying to reproject?  Raster data in "lat/lon" projection (EPSG:4326) in
polar regions is rather badly distorted if not undefined or infinite in
extent.

All my data is epsg:4326

Each layer has:

PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:4326"

I want proj.4 to re-project this on the fly to a polar view, but it only
works for vector data.

Hi list,

some questions:

I?m building an aplication that draws some GPS points over a map. this
point are beeing updated on a postgis table. My data source is a shape
file, this data needs to be adjusted about 180 meters on the latitude
values (the data source was made with proj=utm and datum=NAD27).

I've tried using diferent input projections in order to see if mapserver
can adjust this data but I can?t get good results.

My output projection is:
 PROJECTION
   "proj=utm"
   "ellps=WGS84"
   "datum=WGS84"
 END

Could some projection help to adjust this 180 meters on the latitud?
If I transfer my shape data to postgis using a specific SRID, would help?
How can I build a specific SRID?

regards,
Luis

Download the sources at

Compilation for UNIX is fairly straight forward. 
Compiling on windows with Visual Studio will take some work, as you will 
need to create a new library project and correctly configure  it (via 
project options) to generate either a static library or DLL (see gd.h 
for the compile time directives).

Lots of sites will host your email, blog, or photo galleries for free,
but I don't know of any that  do the same for your GIS data.  So I
created one.  It targets users who may lack the hardware, expertise,
or time to set up their own Mapserver environment.

To try it out, create a zip file containing your project's shapefiles
and/or geotiff images.  Upload the zip file to the ksumap site.  Up
comes the familiar zoomable, pannable, queryable map interface.  From
there you can use the control panel page to customize symbology,
update or add data, and view the mapfile.  The data is accessible via
WMF/WFS too.  Basically, this is free GIS hosting.  The Geography
Department of Kent State University generously hosts this for me at:

http://ksumap.geog.kent.edu/

I'd appreciate any thoughts on how to make this a really handy GIS
tool.  In particular I would love to get the advice and/or
constructive criticism of anyone with experience hosting
mapserver-based services in business or academia.

Thanks,

Dave Fuhry

Hello Vito,

Yours is the first reply that I have received to this bug report.
Unfortunately, I broke the link to the demo in my bug report, which
makes it hard for the developers to see the problem. I will try to fix
the link and maybe reassign the bug report. Please keep me posted if
you learn anything more.

Chris,

Gee, I hope that big attachment didn't actually go to the list!

I dug into the problem and it turned out to be unusual.

The raster resampler calls PROJ.4's pj_transform() function for one
whole row of points to transform at once.  The idea is that pj_transform()
returns a success flag for each point.  But some kinds of errors are
considered to be "non-transient", and it is assumed if they are encountered
for one point they will apply to all points.

It turns out that getting errno=33 (EDOM) or errno=34 (ERANGE) from
math library functions (like atan) were considered "non-transient" by
pj_transform(), even though they are likely to only apply to some points
in a group.  Because your initial range +-10000000 was invalid to reproject,
and because the error was improperly considered non-transient the code
was assuming all the points would fail and giving up.

Using a smaller initial EXTENT (ie +-5000000) was enough to get a reason
result.  But better than that, I was able to correct the PROJ.4
pj_transform() function.

The upshot is that if you can grab the latest PROJ.4 source from CVS and
build it, you can get correct behavior.  Since I wouldn't be surprised
if that is messy for you, I have also put the modified pj_transform.c
on my web site at:

   http://www.gdal.org/tmp/pj_transform.c

If you grab that and dump over the PROJ 4.4.9 src/pj_transform.c file,
build and install it, you should be ok.

Thanks for providing a concise demonstration of the problem so I was
able to track it down fairly easily.

Best regards,

Hi Rich.
I can only add that my faulty layer has an UTM projection in meters as yours:

        PROJECTION
                "proj=utm"
                "ellps=WGS84"
                "datum=WGS84"
                "zone=33"
                "units=m"
                "north"
#               "no_defs"
        END

whereas the mapfile, and implicitly all other layers, have a Gauss-Boaga 
projection:

PROJECTION
  "proj=tmerc"
  "lon_0=15"                            
  "x_0=2520000"                         
  "k=0.9996"                            
  "ellps=intl"                          
END

I'm hoping for a solution from Mapserver 4.8.1... but I need some time to 
compile it.

Cheers,
Vito Meuli

Subject: Postgis: JOINS possible?
Message-ID: <FRI.17.FEB.2006.124509.0100.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

Hi there,

I am only starting to understand the functionality of Postgis.  
Although I got the first real-world examples running, I have  
difficulties imaging something: As I am dealing with hundreds of (for  
the moment still) shapefiles where only the dbf is different  
(statistical data on national level), I wonder how to use postgis to  
accomplish the same thing but only with one geometric table.

What I wonna say is this: I guess I have to load only once the  
shapefile, so that I can use my national statistics postgres tables  
to link to this geometric table via a join, something like:

                                     DATA 'geometric_table .the_geom,  
pop_total.y_2001 from geometric_table, pop_total WHERE  
geometric_table.id = pop_total.id'

But this then suddenly results in multiple WHERE clauses:

Warning: [MapServer Error]: prepare_database(): Error executing  
POSTGIS DECLARE (the actual query) statement: 'DECLARE mycursor  
BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT y_2001::text,asbinary(force_collection 
(force_2d(geometric_table.the_geom,  
pop_total.y_2001)),'XDR'),OID::text from geometric_table, pop_total  
WHERE geometric_table.geo_id = pop_total.id WHERE  
geometric_table.the_geom, pop_total.y_2001 && setSRID('BOX3D(-180  
-90,180 90)'::BOX3D, find_srid('','geometric_table, pop_total WHERE  
geometric_table.geo_id = pop_total.id','geometric_table.the_geom,  
pop_total.y_2001') )'


Can anyone let me know how this works?

Thanks a lot!

Hi

I was trying out the WCS functionality in Mapserver (running MS4W
7-Feb-2006 rel.)

I am serving a single band image with a pseudocolor table. When I make
a WCS request all's goes well except that image loses the pseudocolor
table (see attached image).

Is there anyway a WCS response can maintain the orignal image's color table?

Ok, ok, after some more searching I found something. With some  
tweaking and tuning I got something like this:

			DATA 'the_geom FROM (SELECT pop_total.y_2001 as y_2001,  
geometric_table.the_geom AS the_geom, pop_total.oid AS oid FROM  
pop_total, geometric_table WHERE geometric_table.id = pop_total.id)  
AS foo USING UNIQUE oid USING srid=-1'

Think this is alright....

Subject: problem with same projection for map and layer in mapfile
Message-ID: <FRI.17.FEB.2006.140212.0100.JIRI.MIKULASEKGMAIL.COM>

Hello,

I have got a mapfile with specified projection for both the whole map
and the only layer in it. Both projections are same. Mapserver then
renders a blank image. However, when I comment out the map projection
or the layer projection, the map is rendered properly. Why am I getting such
behaviour?

I know that this example is a little bit artificial and I do not have to
specify
both projections. In fact I am dealing with mapfiles with much bigger
number of layers and the mapfiles are generated on the fly. Usually
the layers are in the same projection but it may happen that they are not.
It is much easier for me to specify the projections both for the layers and
the map
and not bother about checking when projection is the same and when not.
Or do I have to check it?

This is the mapfile:

MAP
  EXTENT -654601.880000 -1154846.910000 -648383.16 -1148290.76
  UNITS meters
  SIZE 600 600
  PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:2065"
  END
  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME png
    DRIVER "GD/PNG"
    MIMETYPE "image/png"
    IMAGEMODE PC256
    EXTENSION "png"
  END
  LAYER
    NAME "dkm/par001"
    TYPE POLYGON
    STATUS ON
    DATA "c:\MyGisData\Trebic_DGN_Shapefile\dkm/par001"
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:2065"
    END
    CLASS
      COLOR 240 240 240
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
    END
  END
END

I am using custom built Python Mapscript for Mapserver 4.6.1 on Windows XP.

Thank you very much.

Shoaib,

Currently there is not.

I would suggest you file a bug report on this.

Jirka,

I can't think of any reason you would get this problem.  I would suggest you
submit a bug report on the issue with a minimal map demonstrating the issue.
You might want to use an inline feature to avoid having to submit supporting
data.

One thing you might want to try and verify first is that the EPSG look i
working ok.

Perhaps replace your PROJECTION blocks with the following and see if you
get different results.

PROJECTION
   "+proj=krovak +lat_0=49.5 +lon_0=60.16666666666667 +alpha=30.28813972222222 
+k=0.9999 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=bessel +pm=ferro +units=m +no_defs"
END

I would also note that there are reasons to be nervous about the default
translations of coordinate systems with non-greenwich prime meridians via
PROJ (such as yours) and also to be nervous of the axis handling of krovak
projections.  I don't see how these could matter in this situation since
the definition isn't really being used to do anything.  But it may bite you
later.

Hello.

Was this question too trivial or too difficult??? Unfortunately, no-one 
answered untit now, so I'll try it again:

I'd like to convert imageObj to java.awt.image. Is it possible to get direct
pixel access via Java mapserver-API or do I have always to create a temporary 
file to share the image? 

What is the content of the byte-array returned by method getByte()?

Hi Oliver,
    I already used JavaMapscript but never needed to convert the 
imageobj to awt.image.
    I don't believe that it's possible to do directly, so the best way 
is save the image and after use the awt.image.

Message-ID: <FRI.17.FEB.2006.093907.0600.ROSS.ELLIOTTINFOTERRAGLOBAL.COM>

Can the current gradient code be applied to ASCII GRID data? and more
specifically can it be applied to AAGRID being pulled from a WMS link? The
reason I ask is that I have my own custom OGCWMS server that I've modified
to server a variety of different data types, include AAGRID, and I'd like
mapserver to apply some sort of colour gradient to them. At the moment it
just displays my grids using grayscale which I guess is coming from gdal
somewhere.

If anyone wants to point me to the relevant code then I'm quite happy to
change it.

Subject: static legend image in mapfile
Message-ID: <FRI.17.FEB.2006.171823.0100.STEVEN.OTTENSGEODAN.NL>

Hi all,

I want to use a static legend image as legend for a map. Is it possible
to define such an image in a mapfile, so it will be served as the
getLegendUrl in a getCapabilities request. The problem is that I have
two layers which don't show a legend in the normal way:
One anti-aliased GeoTIFF (so can't use pixel values)
One grouped layer (I can get the legend of each of the children
separately but I want it as one image)
I need to get them from the getCapabilities doc since the layers are
added in a webmapping client (mapbuilder) by the user. The client parses
the getCapabilities doc to get all the info required to get a WMS map,
including the legend from the getLegendGraphicUrl.

Anyone knows a solution to this?

Thanks in advance

Steven

Hi Fernando and thank you very much for your answer,

I need that for an abstraction layer on mapserver to develop desktop 
applications. Do you know what imageObj.getByte() returns? There is a lack of 
documentation for JavaMapserver-API, yet, isn't it?

Best regards,

Is there a way using an open source utility on Windows to convert an ESRI
.sdc file to a .shp file?  Alternatively, cam Mapserver read ESRI .sdc
files?

Lars,

   ksumap can serve your data to WMS/WFS clients using the url
http://ksumap.geog.kent.edu/[service_name]/ows

   More information on that is in the "WMS and WFS" tab in control
panel and in the faq entry at http://ksumap.geog.kent.edu/faq.php#faq5

   But to answer your question directly, there is no interface for
adding external WMS / WFS layers to your map just yet.  I will keep it
in mind and let you know when progress has been made in this area.

Thanks,

Dave

Jorge,

   And with regards to hardware/software,

MapServer version 4.8.0-rc1, PostGIS, PosgreSQL, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.1,
and Perl on an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ running 64-bit Debian Linux.

   The mapping interface I built myself, although I would love to
integrate ka-map, chameleon, p.mapper, mapbender, or the like someday,
as they have all done much more work with the interface and tools than
I have.  I looked at doing that initially but none of them quite fit
the bill.  As they improve I'm sure integrating one will become a more
viable option.

Thanks,

Dave Fuhry

Subject: queryByPoint on dynamic layer from mysql
Message-ID: <FRI.17.FEB.2006.115849.0700.WILLIAMSWEBSAWYER.COM>

Hi,
Trying to query points that I have added to my map with php_mapscript from a
mysql table. 
I've bumbled through the "set index" problem in older versions, 
have installed MapServer 4.8.1, 
and now seem to be able to get records from my query, but... 
while the points and labels show up on the map properly, 
indicating that the layer of points is being created and the lat/lon and label
values are associated properly,... 
when I process the records obtained from my queryByPoint, 
using getShape to get at the details, 
There is no data in the shape object's members for the dynamic layer, although
the result objects from the point query do have the correct index values that
I programmatically set (incrementing from zero by 1 ... i tried incrementing
by five to see if index values needed to be 'just so', and that broke the
point query - yes, i believe they need to increment by one from zero).


Querying layers (from standard shape files added to the map from a mapfile)
with the same code works as expected. I can get a shapes member values with
either values() or getValue() ... works the same both ways.


It was not possible to query dynamically added points in phpmapscript in the
old version I last installed (4.4) because the index for the shapes was
readonly and incorrectly set to -1. Now I can set the index values and the
queryByPoint does grab the point, but the result record seems to have no data.
I must be doing something wrong. 


Any help is greatly appreciated!


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 =================================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Here's the bit of code where I can't get the details for the dynamic layer,
though the code works for the mapfile layers. 
This code was copied from the list serve and modified slightly


for ($iRes=0; $iRes < $numResults; $iRes++) 
{ 
$oRes = $oLayer->getResult($iRes); 
//echo "<script>window.alert('oRes tile index: " . $oRes->tileindex . " oRes
shape index: " . $oRes->shapeindex . "')</script>"; 


// the shape index values I 'set' when adding the points (in prior code, shown
below) are correct, tileindex values were -1


$oShape = $oLayer->getShape($oRes->tileindex,$oRes->shapeindex);
printf("<TR>\n");
//printf("<script>window.alert(' bounds(%f, %f)-(%f, %f)')</script>", 
// $oShape->bounds->minx, $oShape->bounds->miny, 
// $oShape->bounds->maxx, $oShape->bounds->maxy); 
// bounds values are good for all layer records EXCEPT dynamic, for which they
are all 0 (zero)


for($iField=0; $iField < sizeof($selFields); $iField++) 
{ 
// $tempval = $oShape->getValue($oLayer, $selFields[$iField]); // both these
methods give the same results 
$tempval = $oShape->values[$selFields[$iField]]; // both these methods give
the same results 


// in both cases I get the field name properly from $selFields 
// but not the value from the shape object 
// again, the problem only occurs for the dynamic layer 
// data is properly read for the other layers


if ($iLayer == "points") { // points is the dynamic layer - this is just for
debugging as with the other alerts
echo "<script>window.alert('$iLayer : $selFields[$iField] : $tempval
:')</script>"; 
} 
printf("<TD BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>"); 
printf("%s", $tempval); 
printf("</TD>"); 
} 
printf("</TR>\n"); // yes, i know they say not to use tables anymore
$oShape->free();
$numResultsTotal++; 
}


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 =================================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


here is the code where I create the dynamic layer:


// this function came from the list server, although I added input variables
for label ($labeltext) and index ($pointnumber)
function add_point_to_layer($layer, $longitude, $latitude, $labeltext,
$point_number) {
  // create and initialize new point object
  $point = ms_newPointObj();
  $point->setXY($longitude, $latitude);
  // create and initialize new line object
  $line = ms_newLineObj();
  $line->add($point);
  // create and initialize new shape object
  $shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
  $shape->add($line);
//echo "<script>window.alert('label text: " . $labeltext . "')</script>";
  $shape->set('text', $labeltext);
  $shape->set('index', $point_number);
  // add our shape
  $layer->addFeature($shape);
}


if ($pointshow) {


   if (!$orderby) $orderby = "id";

   $query = "select * from peop order by $orderby";


   $points = mysql_query($query);


   if ($points) {
      $num_points = mysql_num_rows($points);
      //echo "$num_points";


      if ($num_points > 0) {   // this code was copied from the list serve and
modified slightly
         $ptlayer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
         $ptlayer->set("name", "points");
         $ptlayer->set("type", MS_LAYER_POINT);
         //$ptlayer->setProjection("init=epsg:4326");
         $ptlayer->set("status",  MS_ON);
         $ptlayer->setMetaData("DESCRIPTION",  "Points");
         $ptlayer->setMetaData("RESULT_FIELDS",  "text index");  // these are
the shape members that I wish to read in the query
         $ptlayer->set("template",  "points_template.html");


         $ptclass = ms_newClassObj($ptlayer);
         $ptclass->set("status", MS_ON);
         $ptclass->set("name", "Points");
         $ptclass->label->set("type", MS_TRUETYPE);
         $ptclass->label->set("font", 'times');
         $ptclass->label->color->setRGB( 200,100,200);
         $ptclass->label->outlinecolor->setRGB(255, 255, 255);
         $ptclass->label->set("size", 11);
         $ptclass->label->set("position", 1);


         $ptstyle = ms_newStyleObj($ptclass);
         $ptstyle->set("symbol", $map->getsymbolbyname( 'circle'));
         $ptstyle->set("size", 8);
         $ptstyle->color->setRGB( 200,100,200);
         $ptstyle->outlinecolor->setRGB(255, 255, 255);


         for ($i=0; $i < $num_points; $i++) {
            $row = mysql_fetch_array($points);

I don't use PHP mapscript (Perl mapscript) but I believe you would need
to use the shape index to retrieve the feature data from mysql yourself.

In perl mapscript I had no trouble setting shape->{index} to any numeric
value. They did not have to be sequential. So I would use some unique
numeric key from my database table. Alternatively you could create a
lookup array where your mysql keys are stored.

Hi,

I would like to know how SCALEBAR object works. I would like to know if
the length of the scalebar drawn depends on the extent of the map.

When I use the following map file, the scale bar draws a line of about
2cms length and shows it as 1 inch! I feel this is not right because the
initial extent covers more than 10 inches of geographical area. What am I
missing here?

Thanks in advance

Subject: WFS describeFeatureType
Message-ID: <FRI.17.FEB.2006.170530.0600.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

I'm wondering if this might be somehow SDE related. I'm using 4.9 from just a few
minutes ago without any trouble. What happens if you point at a shapefile?

Hi List,

I am making WFS describeFeatureType requests to Mapserver 4.9 (from CVS 
this morning), but the response doesn't list any attributes.  I think I 
have taken all the usual steps to enable WFS, including:

- setting the LAYER's metadata "gml_include_items" to "all"
- setting DUMP TRUE in the LAYER

The same request and map file work against Mapserver 4.6 -- in that case 
the describeFeatureType response lists all the attributes.  Has 
something changed in the new mapserver?  What does it take to allow 
Mapserver to list the attributes?

My LAYER definition is below.

Thanks,

Brock

Hi,


1. Make sure that all of the dll-s (eg. mapscript.dll, libmap.dll, bgd.dll,
libpq.dll, proj.dll ...) required by mapscript resides in your application
directory.

2. Test your binaries and mapfile using CGI mapserver, and copy the
drawmap.exe into the same directory where mapserv resides, and test it.

2. Try to compile mapserver + mapscript and test with the compiled binaries

...

I've tested this application with VS6, VS7.1, VS8 and worked.

(Note: For VS8 a proper manifest file might be created for the application
containing the reference to the Microsoft.VC80.CRT libraries)

Subject: ogrtindex and directory structure
Message-ID: <FRI.17.FEB.2006.171128.0600.DAVID.HUNTERFNF.COM>

I need to tile index several layers for 50 states.  If my directory
structure looks like this:

 

/mapdata

            /AK

            .

            .

            .

            /WY

                        /wy001/Parks.shp, water.shp, etc.

                        .

                        .

                        .

                        /wy045/Parks.shp, water.shp, etc.

 

Is there any way to create tile index files at the /mapdata/ directory
that point to all the /state/county subdirectories?  The ogrtindex
utility doesn't seem to have the ability to recurse the directory tree.
I could copy all park files into a /mapdata/parks/ directory, I suppose,
and then index all the files in the directory, but that would put
several thousand files into a single directory, which is a bit
unmanageable and ugly.  Anybody else come up with a solution to this
problem?

Hi,

I would like to know how SCALEBAR object works. I would like to know if
the length of the scalebar drawn depends on the extent of the map.

When I use the following map file, the scale bar draws a line of about
2cms length and shows it as 1 inch! I feel this is not right because the
initial extent covers more than 10 inches of geographical area. What am I
missing here?

Thanks in advance

You're right, describeFeatureType does work on a shapefile layer, but 
not the SDE layer. 

Ideas anyone?

Not sure what environment you are in, but on Linux I do stuff like:

 find . -name "*.shp" -exec ogrtindex -f "ESRI Shapefile" tindex.shp {} \;

This will recurse from the current directory (i.e. mapdata) and find all of the shapefiles and add them to the new tindex.shp file.  

Hope this helps.

Thanks Steve

I did set the units to INCHES. It is drawing about 2cm line to indicate 1
inch of the area on the image! If I change the extent to LAEA values
instead of geo-graphics values it seem to show correctly. Is there any
thing that I need to do for geographics values?

BTW, I read some where on the web that you have 'mapserv.js' to draw the
mapserver images using javascript. I would like to have a look at it.
Where can I find it?

Howard Butler has created a very handy, stand alone build kit for the
WIndows version of Mapserver. It is a single zip that you can unpack
and compile with a single "make". It requires MSVC 7.1 (VS.NET 2003)
There are configuration option for SDE, PostGIS and Oracle Spatial and
all the others in the nmake.opt file.

Torrents and Direct Downloads:

Howard can chime in with any other special things in the build kit.

The code is from the latest CVS so you can do a update from the MS CVS
to get fixes or new features as they become available and rebuild.

For real time tracking, check out ka-map at maptools.org. It is a AJAX

Have you tried using the absolute path to your raster image?
e. g.: DATA "/ms4w/apps/sample1/data/nitelti020l.tif"

If that also doesn't work, check your permissions and make sure that all users 
can read it.

Good luck!

Allan,

   I'm not sure my scripts would help you as much as my general
methodology.  You will need to tweak Apache (and php if you use it) to
allow large file uploads, and use something like MegaUpload if you
want progress-monitored uploading.  Detect the uploaded file's type
and decompress it, then loop through all the source datafiles, loading
them into PostgreSQL/PostGIS (if you use it) and add them to the map
metadata.  You can see examples of this sort of thing at
http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-users/2004-December/006523.html
and http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dcmms/dcmms/admin/shapefile_loader.php?rev=1.50&view=markup
and I'm sure other places.

   Much of the rest would seem to be at least partially covered by
whatever web mapping interface you adopt (or develop).

Thanks,

Dave Fuhry

Subject: queryByPoint on dynamic layer from mysql
Message-ID: <SUN.19.FEB.2006.001457.0200.KRISTJANTARKVARASTUUDIO.EE>

Hello Doug

I had the same kind of problems with querying Mygis layers but thanks to 
your letter I figured at least out that the id field in the feature 
table is responsible for generating the shapeindex values. So it is 
possible to run a query with queryByPoint and then select the records 
with appropriate ID-s from the database and get the values for the data 
atributes to show to user.
My question is, that is it at all possible to use mapserver 
ProcessQueryTemplate functions with MyGis layers in PhpMapscript?

I allso tried to use MySQL geometry functions to locate the shapes that 
intersect with my querypoint but they seemed to work somehow randomly. 
For instance MySQL Intersects() function showed NO result for some 
shapes that where clearly in the centre of my querypoint and sometimes 
the same function returned YES for shapes that where just near the 
querypoint.
Does anyone in the list have some comments about this issue?

Subject: Raster Layer Doubt
Message-ID: <SUN.19.FEB.2006.093007.0800.BEPROJECT06YAHOO.COM>

Hi all ,
We have developed a web-mapping application . Our mapping application uses Mapserver , Php/Mapscript as the scripitng language and MySql as the database.And this application accepts user clicks and allows the user to edit the map : adding points, etc.
Now for this map , we require a base map - which is a raster layer .
We have tried editing the mapfile as follows:

LAYER
NAME "base"
TYPE raster
DATA "india.tif"
END

But this is of no help. The tiff file resides in the shapefiles directory .
We want to include this raster image as our base map. Is this the right way or is there any other way?

Could someone please help us.
Thanks
Apeksha

Hi,

Some idea

Add STATUS DEFAULT or STATUS ON, I am not sure what is the default.
Is it a GeoTif? Do you have georeference for your raster file?
Try gdalinfo to get the answer. 
If it's not a GeoTif than you must have an india.tfw in the same 
directory.
What about projection? Are your shapes in the same projection?
You should check the coordinates of the georeference.
Have you read Raster-Howto on Mapserver web page?

Bye,
Zoltan

Apeksha,

First, you might want to experiment with a full absolute path to the
raster file, to see if file paths are the issue.

Second, the most common problem in such situations is that the extents
of the file are not overlapping the extents of the map.  You might want
to check the file with "gdalinfo" to see what extents gdalinfo is
getting.

Keep in mind that without a PROJECTION block the raster is assumed to be
in the same coordinate system as the map, so don't assume reprojection will
be happening.

Best regards,

Subject: Tileindex of DGN's being opened as shapefile layer
Message-ID: <MON.20.FEB.2006.145956.0800.JACOB.DELFOSMAUNSELL.COM>

Hi All,

I'm having some trouble creating a tile-index of DGN's, using php_mapscript (Chameleon). My tileindex is a shapefile. But I think the layer should be treated as OGR, yet the connectiontype seems to indicate it thinks it is a shapefile layer. According to my PHP log, it tries to open it as a shapefile, which obviously fails:

[20-Feb-2006 14:45:49] PHP Warning:  [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named 'DGNs'.
 in C:\chameleon\htdocs\common\wrapper\drawmap.php on line 560

 in C:\chameleon\htdocs\common\wrapper\drawmap.php on line 560

I based my layer definition on http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/ogr_howto/#tileindex-with-ogr :

LAYER
  NAME "DGNs"
  TYPE LINE
  STYLEITEM "AUTO"
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
  TILEINDEX "dindex.shp,0"
  STATUS ON
  CLASS
     COLOR 150 150 150
  END
END

The DBF of the shapefile has 1 column, with these values:

location
C:\data\10nwa.dgn,0
C:\data\10nwb.dgn,0

I am using php_mapscript 4.6.1, with php 5.05. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Regards,

Jacob

Hi there,

I have a problem displaying the labels of a specific fields of my  
postgres/postgis table on the map.

It always gives me this error message:

Warning: [MapServer Error]: getString(): Parsing error near (name): 
(line 436)

which is this line:

$map_file = "geo_map.map";
$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path.$map_file);

But it's only when I add the line "LABELITEM name" into the map file.  
The field name exists, I can query the field with a SELECT command  
within the database...

         LAYER
             NAME sreg_boundaries
             CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
             CONNECTION 'user=xx password=xx dbname=xx' 			
             TYPE POLYGON
             LABELCACHE on
             DATA 'the_geom FROM subregions USING UNIQUE gid USING

             LABELITEM name

             CLASS
                 NAME 'Subregional Boundaries'

Any idea why this is?

Thanks for any hints!

Hello everybody,

I have my problems to get data from Oracle Database.
I use compilied version of mapserver for C#. There is no problems to draw a
picture using test-shapefiles. But when I trying to draw data from Oracle
Database I get an empty picture without any error message.

I use following map-file:

Hey, what the h... is this. For years the labelitem command without  
using apostrophes worked. Now, trying everything to find a solution  
to the below mentioned problem, I put the name of the column into  
apostrophes.... and then it worked...

  LABELITEM 'name'

Gush, what's that?

The DATA tag should be    DATA "Geometry FROM MyTable using srid 1000005"
instead of    DATA "Geometry FROM MyTable using srid = 1000005" (Remove
"="). Also make sure that the Oracle geometry type is what you expect. 

You may also add some debug or log by defining the MS_ERRORFILE environment
variable (e.g. c:/temp/mserror.txt) and check for Oracle errors in it.

Where did you get the compiled version for C#?

Hi,

I have a problem with my web application based on MapServer.
I found the problem only in IE, if I load an image using
chameleon->drawmap.php . And it is not for all images, only some images.
It works normall in Firefox.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem ?

Subject: queryByPoint on dynamic layer from mysql
Message-ID: <MON.20.FEB.2006.065041.0700.WILLIAMSWEBSAWYER.COM>

First I want to clarify a couple of things I wrote incorrectly before.  I said
I was now able to get records back from the query, but they had no data.  That
lacked a step.  The records from the query on the layer using getResult do
have good data now, but when I try to getShape using that data, the result is
not good.  Also, I said the bound values were zero for the bad shapes, but
they are minus one.


Eric,  I don't think the php_mapscript library is working the same as the
mapscript library (see response to Kristjan).  Your suggestion to use a lookup
array will provide a work around for php, now that one can get the index value
back from the layer->getResult after queryByPoint with php_mapscript.  But it
will also be necessary to get data from the database instead of the shape.  I
know that this would likely be wanted anyway, but it should not be required to
get the data that was just put into the shape.  It will be necessary to do a
check to see if a layer is 'dynamic'* to do a database query rather than just
going into the shape like all the other layers.
* yes, all the layers are dynamic, i mean that the layer was created using
mapscript as opposed to being loaded from a mapfile.

Kristjan, are you using PHP or perl?  I have not been able to use the id from
the database table for shape index values.  Are you autoindexing your table? 
I find that the shape index values need to have values from zero to the number
of points added to the layer, but that they do not necessarily have to be
added in order.  I find that any points added that have an index value set for
the point shape that is equal to or greater than the number of points added to
my new layer generate the following error in php_mapscript when I queryByPoint
that point shape:

Fatal error: [MapServer Error]: msINLINELayerGetShape(): No inline feature
with this index.

(This is the same error from earlier versions that did not allow the index
value to be set in php_mapscript. All getResult shapeindex values were -1 at
that time.)

I try not to auto index my tables, so I have not checked this but it would
seem if one were auto-indexing and if auto indexing starts at 1, that would
mean that the point with the highest index would generate this error even
though all the others worked.  For every record deleted from the table, the
situation would get progressively worse for entries that were subsequently
added because their index value would be too high.  If one only clicked on
points on the map that had index values less than the number of points added,
no error would be generated.  IF THIS IS WRONG, HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL LET
EVERYONE KNOW.


Thanks for the response's.  I think I will recode  the page in perl and see
what happens.

Emil,

Thanks, you are right, that works. I'd had the same response from Frank W.
I'm not sure where the format for these strings is specified or documented -
the only information I was able to find said to do things differently.

For the benefit of anyone else trying to use this functionality, I also
discovered that you could create a multi-polygon as follows:

POLYGON (( 501453.34 4800585.97, 501576.14 4800590.44, 501569.85 4800522,
501471.61 4800521.63, 501453.34 4800585.97 ))

Hello Mark,

The solution for your problem lies in the format of the polygon data.

You should use:

POLYGON (( 501453.34 4800585.97, 501576.14 4800590.44, 501569.85 4800522,

Instead of the format you used.

I got it working that way.

Well, I've tried it and this is what I found:
-adding a Projection statement in the MAP file changed nothing. I added
PROJECTION elements to each layer, and played around with changing layers to
different projections - the other layers all worked fine, reprojection
worked fine etc.
-adding the EPSG in the OVF file *finally* generated an error:
[MapServer Error]: msOGRFileOpen(): Open failed for OGR connection
`parcel_test.ovf'.
Failed to import LayerSRS `EPSG:26917'.

The OVF file now looks like this:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="parcel_test">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:parcel_test,PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcDataSource>
 	<SrcSQL>SELECT GEOMETRY FROM PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcSQL>
	<GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType>
	<GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="GEOMETRY"/>
	<LayerSRS>EPSG:26917</LayerSRS>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

I don't know why this would fail: the epsg file in proj\nad folder has this
code defined, and mapserver is able to use it for the other layers (which
are shapefiles).

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help so far.

Hello Mark,

You are correct with your explanation about PROJECTION but since I had this
case last year where I did have to add PROJECTION to an OVF layer although
all data was in the same projection I thought it might be worth trying it.

However, I have not fully test cased this and I don't know enough about the
underlying code to be sure this was the (right) solution to the problem.

I will try that. However, my understanding of PROJECTION is that it is not
required unless you have data in more than one projection, or want to
display the data in a projection different from the one the data is in. Is
that not correct?

Thanks.

Hello Mark,

Have you tried adding a PROJECTION to the LAYER containing the ovf file
and/or the ovf file?

Something like:

  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS DEFAULT
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    # fill projection parameter, e.g. 28992 for Dutch system
    PROJECTION
	"init=epsg:12345"
    END
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END


In the past I had situations where I needed to put the PROJECTION in the
LAYER and not in the OVF file.

Also, use STATUS DEFAULT for testing purposes so the layer is always on.

Regards,

Emil

Hello,

I would like to know if there was ever a successful resolution to Frank's
question below. I am in the same situation: I cannot get the OGR virtual
layer to render on my map.

I have had no problem with points. However when I try to render a virtual
polygon I get no error, just no feature on the map. The other layers all
render without problem. I get no error from OGRINFO either.

I've tried a number of different ways of configuring the OVF file, the
data in the database, and the MAP file. Numerous combinations result
in "success" in the sense of no errors, but still no features.

Here is my most recent attempt:
Connection: I'm using an ODBC connection to an MS Access database. The
ODBC connection is called "parcel_test".

OVF:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="parcel_test">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:parcel_test,PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcDataSource>
  <SrcSQL>SELECT GEOMETRY FROM PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcSQL>
 <GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType>
 <GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="GEOMETRY"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

MAP:
  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS ON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END

I've got one record in the PROPERTY_VIRTUAL table, with the GEOMETRY value
set as follows:
POLYGON('501453.34 4800585.97,501576.14 4800590.44,501569.85
4800522,501471.61 4800521.63,501453.34 4800585.97')

I've also tried storing the geometry without the quotes, brackets, and
keyword POLYGON but it doesn't change the result.

I think this is *supposed* to be a polygon with holes, but in my experience
this displayed as multiple polygons. Fortunately in my app I don't need to
worry about holes....

Thanks everyone for the help in resolving the OGR polygon data issues.

In the past I had situations where I needed to put the PROJECTION in the
LAYER and not in the OVF file.

Also, use STATUS DEFAULT for testing purposes so the layer is always on.

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] OGR Virtual


Hello,

I would like to know if there was ever a successful resolution to Frank's
question below. I am in the same situation: I cannot get the OGR virtual
layer to render on my map.

I have had no problem with points. However when I try to render a virtual
polygon I get no error, just no feature on the map. The other layers all
render without problem. I get no error from OGRINFO either.

I've tried a number of different ways of configuring the OVF file, the
data in the database, and the MAP file. Numerous combinations result
in "success" in the sense of no errors, but still no features.

Here is my most recent attempt:
Connection: I'm using an ODBC connection to an MS Access database. The
ODBC connection is called "parcel_test".

OVF:
<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="parcel_test">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:parcel_test,PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcDataSource>
  <SrcSQL>SELECT GEOMETRY FROM PROPERTY_VIRTUAL</SrcSQL>
 <GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType>
 <GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="GEOMETRY"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

MAP:
  LAYER
    NAME "Virtual Parcel"
    DEBUG ON
    STATUS ON
    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
    CONNECTION "parcel_test.ovf"
    DATA "parcel_test"
    TYPE POLYGON
    TEMPLATE "null"
    CLASS
      NAME "Virtual Parcel"
      STYLE
        COLOR 255 1 5
        OUTLINECOLOR 168 112 0
      END
    END
  END

I've got one record in the PROPERTY_VIRTUAL table, with the GEOMETRY value
set as follows:
POLYGON('501453.34 4800585.97,501576.14 4800590.44,501569.85
4800522,501471.61 4800521.63,501453.34 4800585.97')

I've also tried storing the geometry without the quotes, brackets, and
keyword POLYGON but it doesn't change the result.

Mark,

The format is OpenGIS Well Known Text geometry format from the Simple
Features for SQL Specification (99-049 I think).  It is the same format
reported by ogrinfo, and the textual format of PostGIS or MySQL Spatial.

Technically the above is not a multi-polygon.  A multi-polygon (in simple
features) is a collection of polygon objects.  A polygon is one or more
rings, with one being the outer ring and the rest being inner rings.  So
in the parliance I was used to in the old days, a polygon is an island
potentially with lakes cut out of it.  A multipolygon is a much of such
islands.

Multipolygons use the MULTIPOLYGON keyword.

A 'polygon' object in a shapefile may be either a simple features POLYGON
or MULTIPOLYGON depending on whether there are multiple outer rings.

Best regards,

Hi,

I have used one-to-many join between dbf files.
I have used layer template outside class definitions, one template for all 
classes.
What is in your template you should refer to columns in the joint table as
joinname_columnname. AFAIK it is case sensitive I had to use lower case 
for the join name and upper case for the columnname. I think you should 
avoid "_" in the column and join name.

I hope this help.

Subject: Specifying MINDISTANCE for point features of a shapefile???
Message-ID: <MON.20.FEB.2006.152251.0500.MARK.HUDSONXWAVE.COM>

Hello:

 

 I have a shapefile of cities (represented by points obviously), and I
want to tell Mapserver to draw features a minimum distance apart - just
like the MINDISTANCE parameter of the LABEL object.  The cities
shapefile covers a large area, so I want to display the layer at small
scales.  However, at this scale some cities appear very close to one
another  - and actually overlap.  Can I tell Mapserver to not do this
and only draw them when there is a specified distance between features?

 

Thanks, Mark Hudson.

If you use an an ANNOTATION layer type instead of a POINT you should be ok. ANNOTATION layers link the point symbol with the text so the MINDISTANCE set in the text label is honored. You may want to pre-sort your city shapefile based on population if possible (in ascending order) so that the largest cities gain preference.

You're right, describeFeatureType does work on a shapefile layer, but

Steve,

I'm not quite sure what you mean.  A describeFeatureType response for 
the layer shown below looks like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<schema
   targetNamespace="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapserver" 
   xmlns:ms="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mapserver"

   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
   elementFormDefault="qualified" version="0.1" >

  <import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
          schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/gml/2.1.2/feature.xsd" />

  <element name="CRIMS_CLAM_BEDS" 
           type="ms:CRIMS_CLAM_BEDSType" 
           substitutionGroup="gml:_Feature" />

  <complexType name="CRIMS_CLAM_BEDSType">
    <complexContent>
      <extension base="gml:AbstractFeatureType">
        <sequence>

        </sequence>
      </extension>
    </complexContent>
  </complexType>

</schema>

I hadn't noticed before, but getFeature seems to crash mapserver when I 
request the same SDE layer.  Mapserver is running in Windows, and I just 
see one of those ugly memory errors.  Nothing in the apache log.  WFS 
getCapabilities works.  WMS getMap requests work fine for the same SDE 
layer.

  MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN: allows you to override the standard regex for mapfile extension checking
  MS_MAPFILE: sets a default mapfile
  MS_ERRORFILE: sets file to write error messages to
  
Is that what you're looking for?

Hi All,

I'm running mapserver 4.6 on IIS 5.0, with php mapscript 46,
I use mostly mapinfo files, and I've noticed this strange behavior of query
map:
in my map file, for some layers i've set STYLEITEM "AUTO", all layers are
supposed to be hilited with a red color (255 0 0) when you do query on them,
but the layers with STYLEITEM "AUTO" are allways hilited green or are not
hilited at all, why is this happening? is this a ms or ogr bug?

any way here is an example, just follow this link, choose a 'i' tool and
select some green or lite brown area, you will see for your self,

http://195.94.206.181/test/mapserver/framedefs/main.html

(all other mapifo layers, like roads, that do not use STYLEITEM "AUTO" are
hilited corectly)

regards

Artur

Message-ID: <TUE.21.FEB.2006.044949.0500.BILLBINKO.NET>

Hi everyone.

A few weeks ago, I asked a question about density mapping, and got
several responses, including several very helpful pointers.

I thought I would write back with where the progress I've made, along
with another request for feedback.

Here are three images that show some of the density maps I've been able
to make on the fly:

http://m.mapshine.com/images/dazzlehX6EfG.png
http://m.mapshine.com/images/dazzlesSqxTl.png
http://m.mapshine.com/images/dazzlePjFMQF.png

I'm sure there are statistics professors out there who will roll their
eyes at my approach, (and please, if I'm making any horrific mistakes,
please let me know) but the proof-of-concept I developed is performing
quite well in terms of speed.

The proof-of-concept works like this (in PHP/Mapscript):

1) Read a Standard Deviation in geographic units (1/3 mile for the
images above)
2) Generate a "stamp" image that is a gradient that starts at 100%
opaque at the center and "fades out" to 0% opaque at the center using
the Parzen Window Gaussian Kernel
equation:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parzen_window where "x" is
actually the distance from the center of the stamp
3) Create a new image to lay over the Mapserver generate map with the
same size, and "ImageAlphaBlending()" set to true.
4) Query the map layer using "whichShapes()" to get the points on the
layer we're interested in
5) Iterate through all the points on the layer and draw the "stamp"
image into the new image.  Because of GD's Alpha Blending, these
"stamps" build up effectively performing the Summation in the Parzen
Window document above.
6) Walk through the entire image (one point at a time) and map the 0-127
alpha value of each point onto table of images (just to make it look
good :)

I have thought about how this type of functionality could make it back
into the core Mapserver, and I actually think it could be fairly simple.
However, this is obviously a proof of concept, and I'm not pushing for
this... I just wanted to update everyone.

To take this same approach with the C Mapserver code, we'd need to do
the following:

1) Implement semi-transparent symbols per danmo's suggestion (right now,
we only have alpha transparency at the layer level, not the symbol
level)
2) Setup a hook so that user code can create the png "stamp" after the
layer's requested extent is known and before any drawing is done
3) Setup a hook where the user can get access to the raw layer image for
post-processing.

I am not 100% sure that the approach I've taken is completely valid.
However, I am quite sure that is far faster than the alternatives I
faced which were a) spawning out to GRASS/R to generate a large raster
or b) doing a distance calculation + a gaussian equation for each pair
of pixel/Point in the extent!  

I look forward to your responses.

Bill

Subject: Problems with join
In-Reply-To: <43F9CCB6.8030004@ibuildings.nl>

Hi list and Steve

List: thanks or the replies.  Now I probably know what the problem is.
Steve: below there is a description of my problem.

I think the bottleneck in my problem are the templates. I use Pmapper as 
a graphical interface and MapServer is the engine.
Pmapper doesn't care about the templates in the mapfile. That's the 
reason why there is a meaningless string after the template key in the 
mapfile (without this meaningless string there are no results)
Pmapper gets his results by using the following functions

$qRes = $this->qLayer->getResult($iRes);

$qShape = $this->qLayer->getShape($qRes->tileindex,$qRes->shapeindex);

$this->tempGridResult .= $this->printGridResultRow($qShape);


So I have another set of questions:
- Does mapserver require a template if I want to use joins?
- Is it possible to get the join data without using a template and using 
some functions?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis-Jan

Subject: Avoid querying the_geom field in Postgis - how?
Message-ID: <TUE.21.FEB.2006.124659.0100.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

Hi,

does anyone know how to build a query that SELECTs all fields but not  
the_geom? I have a couple of tables, holding statistical information  
as well as the geospatial one. When I query the table I'd like to  
query only the statistical part - not the geospatial, which is not  
necessary and slows done incredibly the query. I searched a bit  
within the Postgres SQL domain. It seems there is an EXCEPT  
statement, but it seems that it works differently...

Thanks for any help,

Stef

Hi, 

Does any body tried to make symbols for points with vector angle atribute,
so that point will be displayed with small vector arrow and in direction
accordimg vector angle atribute of the point?

Is it possible in mapserver or the only way is to generate small lines layer
and then display them with point layer?

One way would be to put the_geom in a separate table and link it to the 
table with the attributes with a unique id column.

Francesco,

They should work "out of the box" if you have GDAL support built in.  Just
put the name of the grid file in your DATA statement like for any raster file.

Now, there may be an additional issue.  ESRI ASCII Grid files are often not
8bit.  That is the raster values are often outside the range 0-255.  If this
is the case, special issues around scaling the values for display apply.  You
should read the Raster Access HOWTO to know more about how to deal with this
though the brief solution is often fine to get something on the screen:

The brief solution is add the following in your raster layer.

   PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO"

I would be interested  to hear about your speed tests, "how many points 
take so long to generate" sort of stuff.

Your overlays look pretty good.  With an integration into MapServer, 
there would also bthe possiblity of adding in semi-opaqueness to the 
overlay output.  This was one major area that gave us fits with the 
overlays that we tried.

Thanks

All (Probably Frank mostly),

Can an oblique projection be faked in MapServer with parameter from the 
user?

If so, can two layers have different oblique elevations assigned to 
then, either in the mapfile or from the mapserver request?

What I wanted to do is experiment with  oblique views of highrise 
building floor plans.  Not true 3D, but Oblique views complete with 
Imagemaps for selecting locations on each floor.

Should I think about something else besides MapServer?  Just looking for 
input right now.

Hello Steve,

thanks for the GD-patch.

I've supplied it on both systems. On the SuSE 10.0 box it now works in 
both (cgi and moduled) versions. 
Within the SuSE 9.2 System there must be another problem. After starting  
the application (viewing full extend with road layer only) it produces an 
antialised map. If I try to zoom into the map, I got segmentaion faults again. 
I'll try to upgrade the System because it's a development system only. So, 
I think, it works for me now.

There's also PrimaGIS - http://www.primagis.fi/ - which works with Plone.
It's under active development.

Greetings,

New to the Mapserver realm and I am trying to download the mapserver demo

in opening the file itasca3.5.tar using winzip. Any ideas in obtaining this
data so I can run through setting up the demo via the ReadMe.txt

Thanks in advance,

Janeks,

Could you provide the OVF file in question?  A couple possibilities come
to mind:
  o The < sign may need to be escaped in the XML OVF file (as &lt;).
  o If this is the contents of a SrcSQL you will need a WHERE statement won't
    you?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you mean when you talk about adding
the above field.

Best regards,

Hi,

you might have a look at plone (www.plone.org) the CMS that drives 
mapserver.gis.umn.edu (no web-mapping out-of-the-box)

Then have a look at primaGIS http://primagis.fi/ (now you have 
webmapping-in-the-box ;-))

----------

Another opportunity is CPS (CMS with plone-like functionality) that also 
has "geo-awareness" (rather new and also french...):

http://www.cps-project.org/sections/projects/cpsgeo_simple_gis_for

----------

Both projects are based on Zope, a OpenSource CMS plattform developped 
with python: www.zope.org

Cheers, Michael

Eric, 

Save the file to disk before trying to unzip it.  Also, take a look at the file name, you may need to trim off an extra .tar or .gz before WinZip will recognize it as a file that it can unzip properly.

What about just the map generation part?  There's no way to even fake 
the oblique view for even one layer (Floor)?

Bob,

That might be possible, but I don't know how to setup a projection
definition appropriately to do so.  I imagine if you setup an orthographic
projection with a center point 45 degrees away around the world, that would
give something like a 45 degree view of your local area.  But this isn't
something I have ever tried myself.

Best regards,

Hi,

There is a LABELANGLEITEM to rotate labels, so you should display symbol 
as label (a character from a true type font) and the column of
LABELANGLEITEM gives the rotational angle in deegres.

Bye,

I'm tiling mapserver tile requests to form a map. On those tiles are lines
styled with a thickness. The lines also have rounded ends.

Which means that when a line goes off the edge of a tile, they're
"rounding-off" making it impossible to tile from separate requests.

Quite difficult to explain, so here's a picture..
http://citysafe.org/temp/mapRounding.png

One approach would be to get mapserver to draw the line beyond the extent of
its tile... but this is, I think, hypothetical, since I cant see that it's
possible from the docs.


Does anyone have any experience of this?

Thanks in advance,

Ed

Message-ID: <TUE.21.FEB.2006.125550.0600.JOHAN.E.HALLGRENWMDATA.SE>

Hello

I have tried to query a sde-layer but it fails.

I?m using mapserver-4.8.1
And ArcSDE 9.0 clientlib (windows XP)
And ArcSDE 9.0 on a Oracle 10.1 (windows Server)
All code is written in c#/mapscript/SWIG.

Drawing the layer is no problem but when querying, it gives an error
message:
?Error allocating layer items array.?

The error occur when I run the oLayerObj.open() ?command

Se the code below, I have used the same approach as with shapefiles.

-----------------------------------------
mapObj mo = new mapObj(mapFile.Text);
layerObj oLayerObj = mo.getLayerByName("SJ_large_sde");
oLayerObj.queryByRect(mo, oLayerObj.getExtent());

oLayerObj.queryByAttributes(mo, "KKOD", "", mapscript.MS_MULTIPLE);
resultCacheObj oResultCacheObj = oLayerObj.getResults();
oLayerObj.open(); // ? Gives the error.

textBox1.Text = oResultCacheObj.numresults.ToString();

if (oResultCacheObj.numresults > 0)
{
int iFeatureLimit = oResultCacheObj.numresults;
           int lFeat = 0;
           for (lFeat = 0; lFeat < oResultCacheObj.numresults; lFeat++)
           {
                      if (lFeat == (iFeatureLimit + 0))
                                 break;
                      shapeObj oShapeObj = oLayerObj.getFeature(lFeat,-1);
           }
}

Ed,

Have you looked at http://ka-map.maptools.org/

This is a google like AJAX client that uses php and mapserver on the 
backend to generate tiles. Even if you do not want to use the whole 
thing, you might look at tile.php to see how they resolve these issues.

Stephen is correct, and the kamap code uses a buffer around each tile to 
get around this issue.  I've worked with some modified Kamap code, and 
it uses the GD library to cut up the tiles, with a buffer not only 
around each tile but also around the main metatile that is fetched from 
Mapserver.  Our setup uses a 10 pixel buffer around each tile, and twice 
that for the buffer around the metatile.

Ed,

If you want to get  into the coding aspect of things.  The trick is to 
grab an image bigger than the desired tile size and clip it back with 
some other piece of middle ware to the desired tile size.  Another route 
to go, is to build a rather large tile, and then clip it back to smaller 
tiles, this even preserves the labeling crossing the tile edges.  You 
still need to throw a buffer area away in this process, but it's has a 
much higher level of success with regard to building a seamless tile set 
with little to no edge matching artifacts.

There are other things to worry about though like the text labeling 
being held back from the edges enough so that they don't get caught in 
the clipping process as well.

There are probably other things to worry about in the process as well 
that I'm not aware of at present.

Subject: problem getting shape index values
Message-ID: <TUE.21.FEB.2006.125919.0700.WILLIAMSWEBSAWYER.COM>

I posted a problem with queryByPoint on a point layer added from an external
database.  It seemed as if getShape was not working ... but I have found that
by modifying my code as below I can get the shape information.

            $oShape = $oLayer->getShape($oRes->tileindex,$oRes->shapeindex);

            for($iField=0; $iField < sizeof($selFields); $iField++)
            {
               if ($selFields[$iField] == "index") {
                  $tempval = $oShape->index;
               } elseif ($selFields[$iField] == "text") {
                  $tempval = $oShape->text;
               } else {
                  $tempval = $oShape->values[$selFields[$iField]];
//                  $tempval = $oShape->getValue($oLayer, $selFields[$iField]);
            }

My fault, I did not realize that it was not possible to get certain values
from the 'values' or 'getValue' methods.

Hi,

I have mapserver, maplab 2.2.1 and the rosa applet installed. I have a mapfile, which has a layer, which i can show in the rosa applet. 

My question is, is it correct to calculate the real coordinates from the input_coordinates (which is the pixed coordinates if you click) by simply proportioning them according to the extent coordinates?

I mean,

Real X Coordinate = (Difference in Real Extent Coordinates)/(Width of Rosa in pixel)*(clicked pixel X- coordinate) + Minx Real extent Coordinate

(Same for the Real Y Coordinate.)

Or is there another way to do this ? I read of maplat and maplon attributes but I don't know how to apply this within my package..

I hope I could clarify what I mean. Thank you in Advance.

Baris

You should have exactly 4 values for any extent value. This error means you
had more or less. Typically you see it if:

  - the extent is provided using a delimeter other than a space
  - the extent is not properly escaped in the URL (spaces must be turned into +'s or %20's)

Check those first.

I believe this should work fine and I have heard of others doing it too.

You can find some useful information on how to express projections
in PROJ.4 format at:

   http://geotiff.maptools.org/proj_list

The libgeotiff listgeo utility can also report PROJ.4 format
with the -proj4 switch.

But I did this by saving the WKT (ie. PROJCS[...]) into a text
file, and running the gdal/ogr/testepsg utility against it.
Testepsg is an undocumented GDAL utility not built by default.

One day I must really provide a supported utility for doing these
sorts of translations.

Yes, joins are a post-query feature (for end display only) and for that reason require the use of query templates. All is not lost... (read on)

Not through MapScript proper- there is no joinObj exposed to MapScript (perhaps there should be). The reason is that the scripting languages supported by MapScript are very well suited database access independent of MapScript. You can certainly take a item value from your result set and use that to construct a query to another datasource. Then those results can be displayed as necessary (or used to create even more queries).

I'm not terribly familiar with p.mapper so I don't know how hard it is to do that sort of thing using that framework. I also thought that template processing was available via MapScript, but perhaps not through p.mapper?

Wish I had better news.

Hi list and Steve

List: thanks or the replies.  Now I probably know what the problem is.
Steve: below there is a description of my problem.

I think the bottleneck in my problem are the templates. I use Pmapper as 
a graphical interface and MapServer is the engine.
Pmapper doesn't care about the templates in the mapfile. That's the 
reason why there is a meaningless string after the template key in the 
mapfile (without this meaningless string there are no results)
Pmapper gets his results by using the following functions

$qRes = $this->qLayer->getResult($iRes);

$qShape = $this->qLayer->getShape($qRes->tileindex,$qRes->shapeindex);

$this->tempGridResult .= $this->printGridResultRow($qShape);


So I have another set of questions:
- Does mapserver require a template if I want to use joins?
- Is it possible to get the join data without using a template and using 
some functions?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis-Jan

Message-ID: <TUE.21.FEB.2006.205246.0500.EDTOPOZONE.COM>

Dennis -

The EPSG coding system is just a list of various projections.  There's
no way to "figure out" what an EPSG code should be (with a few limited
exceptions for related projections).  You just need to get the list and
look it up!

EPSG provides a set of tools, but they're hard to use.  There are
various other EPSG lists kicking around the Web.  However, ultimately
you will be depending on the list of EPSG projection codes that you have
installed (via the PROJ library) on your own server, so you might as
well look there.  In the nad subdirectory of your PROJ installation (I
don't know whether you're running on Windows or UNIX) you'll find a file
simply named "epsg".  This is a text file; open it with your favorite
editor.

The EPSG projection definitions in that file are labeled with common
names, so if you know you've got "Massachusetts State Plane" coordinates
you can search for that term (there are several variations).  If you
only have the projection parameters (which you do) then you need to
search for those.

I searched the standard PROJ 4.4.9 distribution and could not find
"-81.45" or "38.66" anywhere in that file.  That makes me suspect that
this is a projection that may be "non-standard".  There's nothing
"wrong" with that - you can define a projection any way you like.  But
if you want to use it in some contexts (like WMS) you need an EPSG
definition for it.  The EPSG code number simply provides a reliable
shorthand for the definition.  It's more compact, and it is easier to
figure out whether two projections are the same or not (comparing all
the parameters leads to confusion when the precision of parameters is
different - are 81.67 and 81.66667 the same number or not?).

In your MAP file you can also simply spell out the projection parameters
(i.e. the PARAMETER values below) rather than using the EPSG file.  But
I'd like to ask what you need to do with this source data?  If you need
to have an EPSG code to refer to it, that leads down one path - if you
just need to display it with other layers in MapServer, that's a
different path.  And if it's the ONLY layer you want to display in
MapServer you can simply ignore the whole problem!

  A good resource for this is the projection list at remotesensing.org :

http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/

The lambert conformal conic 2sp should have enough info for you to translate
the gdalinfo output below into the proj4 parameters. They can be inserted
into the layer's projection block like:

PROJECTION
 "proj=lcc"
 .....

Hope this helps,

I am using PHP. But I did not use PHPMapscript functions to add new

pointst from user but then I used just regular SQL commands to add new 
shapes to my database.
The error to witch you were refering '[MapServer Error]: 
msINLINELayerGetShape(): No inline feature with this index' sounds like 
there is a record in the feature table but not in geometry table - I'm 
not shure but check it out.
I tested the index stuff with filling the ID field of my features table 
with several values and they all worked well as long as they were 
unique. I even have different type of geometrys in my table (points and 
polygons), but they are drawn in separate layers with different data 
clauses like "DATA 'geometry from (select * from objekt where 
klass_id=1) feature, objekt_bin geometry'" and "DATA 'geometry from 
(select * from objekt where klass_id=2) feature, objekt_bin geometry'"

Message-ID: <WED.22.FEB.2006.120601.0000.ALBRECHTFIELAX.DE>

Hello,

I just wanted to change from 4.6.1 to 4.8.1 because I've read the 
querymapObj is available in PHP/Mapscript since 4.8.

So what I did was taking my old configure line from 4.6.1 and using it 
for the new version:

./configure
--enable-force-freetype1
--with-gd=/usr/local
--with-zlib
--with-jpeg
--with-tiff
--with-png
--with-xpm=/usr/X11R6
--with-threads
--with-proj=/usr/local
--with-php=/usr/local/src/php-5.0.4 
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config 
--with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config 
--with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config
--with-wfs
--with-wcs
--with-wmsclient
--with-wfsclient
--with-curl-config=/usr/local/bin/curl-config


The compiling finishes without errors but all my MapScript applications 
which use PNG as output format don't work.
It says "INTERNAL SERVER ERROR"
which is "Premature end of header in /usr/local/bin/php".

My PHP version is 5.0.4 which uses the same GD (2.0.33) installation as 
MapServer. And it worked with 4.6.1 without problems.

Anybody had a similar problem or knows what to do?

how can I change the size of a query map in my PHP/Mapscript

In the doc there's a querymapObj described but no method or way to get

Is there another way to change the size of the query map except changing 
the map file or using a second map file?

Hi,

I migrated from mysql to postgres/postgis and update now all my map- 
queries. But I have a problem getting it working. I wonder if this is  
a major problem or some minor issue. The doc says :

"Logical expressions allow you to build fairly complex tests based on  
one or more attributes and therefore are only available with shapefiles"

So, i would almost presume that using EXPRESSIONS is not possible via  
postgis. But I can't imagine that this is true... In the moment it  
runs the query but with no result - meaning that it "ignores" the  
epression. I couldn't find anything similar in the archives either...


	LAYER

		CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
		CONNECTION 'user=xxx password=xxx dbname=xxx' 			
		TYPE POLYGON

Hi Sebastian,

It looks like the documentation is missing an entry for the queryMapObj in
the MapObj class. You should be to set the query map size using something
like the following:

	$mapobj->querymap->set("width", 100);
	$mapobj->querymap->set("height", 100);


Kind regards,

Mark.

The good thing is you read the archives.

The bad thing is that you sent the email to me instead of to the list.

So, I am copying this to the list (I don't think Chip is even on the

The message you got means there's some obsolute KEYWORD values in the 
mapfile.  I don't have the demo files in my computer so if you can post 
the few lines above and below line 44, I might be able to help.

As an aside, you can certainly put the demo files under 
/ms4w/apache/htdocs.  Or you might as well follow the way it's done in MS4W:
1. unzip demo under /ms4w/apps/
2. create a file called httpd_demo.conf (or whatever you want to called 
it, just make sure to prepend with httpd_) and add these lines to it:
#This is the Apache config file for the MapServer Demo application.

Alias /itasca "/ms4w/apps/itasca"

<Directory "/ms4w/apps/itasca">
     AllowOverride None
     Options Indexes MultiViews
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>
3. Restart Apache service
4. Edit the demo_init.html and relevant files and replace the paths with 
the proper ones
5. Check that the demo is running at http://localhost/itasca.

Good luck!

Hello Mark,

thanks for your reply.

I get a fatal error: Call to a member function set() on a non-object

If I var_dump the $mapobj there is no "querymap" object, too, but I 
suppose this has to do with my MapServer version (4.6.1). I think the 
querymapObj is supported since 4.8.1. And that version does not work ATM 
(my other posting).

Best regards

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Yes, the querymapObj is only present in 4.8. In terms of debugging your
problem with 4.8, can you isolate the problem? For example, does it still
occur if you change the output format to JPEG temporarily? Also have you
tried enable debugging (setting the webObj log property to a filename and
then setting the mapObj debug property to true)? This should give you more
information as to why Mapserver is failing.


Kind regards,

Mark.

I think the problem is that you have both a CLASSITEM and an  
EXPRESSION.  CLASSITEM is generally used when you are doing single- 
value classifications, so something like

CLASSITEM 'name'
CLASS
   EXPRESSION 'Europe'
END

Try removing your CLASSITEM.  Just general debugging technique:  
remove restrictions until something shows up, then slowly add them  
back in again.

BTW, If you have a unique column other than oid, I would suggest  
using that for a unique number, as good practice.  Perhaps you have a  
gid column?

Subject: phpmapscript geos integration (buffer)
Message-ID: <WED.22.FEB.2006.170401.0100.MAPSERVERGEOWORLD.DE>

Hi List,

i tried the geos buffer integration with the script posted by Assefa in
bug 1327 (#2) (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1327).
It runs fine with the current cvs version of mapserver but crashes with
the current stable release 4.8.1

Fatal error: Object expected as argument.
in /home/nicol/public_html/mapserver/dev/tmpsym/geosbuffer.php on line
38

Is this feature implemented in the 4.8.1 release? According to the
README file (mapscript/php3) which comes with the release is should be.

shapeobj buffer(width)
   Returns a shape object that has a buffer around the current
   shape object. Only available if php/mapscript is built with GEOS
   library.

Any hints how to use the method with the 4.8.1 release?
Many thanks 
Nicol

Hi There,

   The feature should be available in 4.8.1. I just did a test with the 
4.8.1 using the exact script in the bug and It works. If you are willing 
to, you can send me your script/map/data and I can test it here.

Hello,

I'm testing MapServer on some new hardware/software, and ran into what looks
like a bug ...

With a specific mapfile, the mapserver CGI dies with the following error:

[Wed Feb 22 13:03:33 2006] [error] [client 132.156.4.96] *** glibc detected

The only thing noticeably different about the mapfile causing the error is
that it has WMS layers and is quite a bit bigger than your average mapfile.

I found nothing in bugzilla.

Anybody run into this before?  I found one obscure reference, but no clear
cause/solution.

I got closer to the problem's core but not close enough yet.


The problem with the internal server error in my web application results 
of one layer that gets data from a local WMS. Until today it worked all 
well with image/png as format type.

If I send a simple GetMap request to that WMS now some kind of PNG image 
is returned which can only be interpreted by Mozilla Firefox. GIMP and 
different other programs say the image is corrupted. In the Apache log 
it says:

gd-png:  fatal libpng error: IDAT: CRC error
gd-png error: setjmp returns error condition
gd-jpeg: JPEG library reports unrecoverable error: Not a JPEG file: 
starts with 0x89 0x50

I don't know what that jpeg stuff means - the WMS should simply render a 
shape file to PNG.


And to make the problem more complicated:
If I switch off the WMS layer in my webbrowser application the rest 
works well - as PNG!


Here are my map file definitions for the WMS server. In the WMS client 
layer definition I tried "image/png" and "image/png; mode=24bit" as 
format type. The resulting images differ but are both "corrupted".

IMAGETYPE png

OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME png
   DRIVER "GD/PNG"
   MIMETYPE "image/png"
   IMAGEMODE RGB
   EXTENSION "png"
END


Updating to the latest libpng did not change anything. GD is 2.0.33.


I finish for today - perhaps I'll have some luck tomorrow. But if it 
does not work, I will have to get back to 4.6.1 and do without my nice 
tiny query maps... :-/


Best regards

Sebastian

Message-ID: <WED.22.FEB.2006.152423.0500.MARKADAMSCUESTASYS.COM>

Frank et al,

I've had great success with simple polygons, and with single polygons with
holes. Everything seems to follow expectations. However, the data I'm
working with sometimes has multiple polygons, but sometimes doesn't.
According to the OGC simple features spec 05-134, a MULTIPOLYGON statement
following the same format as a simple POLYGON statement should work. So, the
following 2 statements should be equivalent:

'POLYGON( ( 56 34, 62 48, 84 48, 84 42, 56 34) )'
or
'MULTIPOLYGON( ( 56 34, 62 48, 84 48, 84 42, 56 34) )'

In practice, using the latter format failed in mapserver - no geometries
shown. By adding a 3rd set of brackets the problem is solved:

'MULTIPOLYGON( (( 56 34, 62 48, 84 48, 84 42, 56 34)) )'

I am now ensuring that all text geometries are added in the database with
that extra set of brackets, so it is no longer a problem for me, but it
might cause others some pain - seems like a deviation from the spec. 

(Or I might be reading it wrong).

Otherwise, publishing text-based polygon data is working out very well, so
thanks again for the support.

Mark,

The format is OpenGIS Well Known Text geometry format from the Simple
Features for SQL Specification (99-049 I think).  It is the same format
reported by ogrinfo, and the textual format of PostGIS or MySQL Spatial.

Technically the above is not a multi-polygon.  A multi-polygon (in simple
features) is a collection of polygon objects.  A polygon is one or more
rings, with one being the outer ring and the rest being inner rings.  So
in the parliance I was used to in the old days, a polygon is an island
potentially with lakes cut out of it.  A multipolygon is a much of such
islands.

Multipolygons use the MULTIPOLYGON keyword.

A 'polygon' object in a shapefile may be either a simple features POLYGON
or MULTIPOLYGON depending on whether there are multiple outer rings.

Best regards,

Hi,

What type of image catalog do you think? An ESRI image catalog?
AFAIK only gdal created tileindex is supported in mapserver. You can 
create an image catalog using gdaltindex command. See raster howto.

Bye,
Zoltan

I believe your script is failing at the DATA clause -- or because there 
exists no data within your tables that is join-able.

*[Malformed DATA clause]*
I've run into a similar problem myself before.

I am pretty sure your problem is with your DATA statement.  In fact it 
may be throwing an exception that you haven't been able to see (rather 
than ignoring the expression).

See the advanced-usage at:  
http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch04.html#id2789268
Note that the SQL used within the DATA tag is "pseudo-SQL"

Do not use the WHERE clause to perform your join; instead, use the 
NATURAL JOIN operator.  Instead, only use the WHERE clause to filter 
upon items as you would with the FILTER tag (such as regions_view.name = 
'foo').  I believe the FILTER and WHERE clauses to be coupled (which 
further complicates matters when doing a complex join in your DATA clause).

Therefore, try this and let me know if it works:

DATA "the_geom FROM (SELECT countries.the_geom AS the_geom, 
regions_view.name AS name, countries.oid AS oid FROM countries NATURAL 
JOIN regions_view ON countries.geo_region = regions_view.id) AS foo 
using unique oid using srid=-1"

*[Nothing to join]*
Perhaps there is nothing to join -- in that case try using LEFT JOIN 
instead of the NATURAL JOIN

Hi Paul,

In Canada it is about $12,000 to buy ArcIMS by itself.  You don't need
ArcView, but if you have it, it makes things easier. If you need to
split the load to other servers / CPU's ... its $12,000 more per CPU
!! Not sure if there's any reduction for larger purchases.

It took me 1.5 days to get it running properly. From there simple maps
using the default viewers are very fast to create from existing MXD
files.

I'm not sure how this compares to the MapServer tools (the tools for
creating .map files from ArcView, or Chameleon) as I do it the hard
way, in text editors.

As a true blue MapServer person, I still have the bad taste in my
mouth for being forced to install ArcIMS,  but I suppose every tool
has it's uses, especially when a client demands it.

Cheers,
Ken Lord
Vancouver BC

Subject: OGR and ArcSDE
Message-ID: <WED.22.FEB.2006.230645.0100.CANDALTONLINE.NO>

Hi

I have been doing some testing displaying points from a database with X/Y columns from an SQL database (ACCESS/SQL SERVER) using OGR in Mapserver.

This is an excellent function, and it works great. It enables you to display POINT data from other databases than PostgreSQL with PostGIS in Mapserver.

This is an example of my mapfile:

LAYER
	CLASSITEM "servicename"
	CONNECTION "<OGRVRTDataSource>
	<OGRVRTLayer name='test'><SrcDataSource>ODBC:@test</SrcDataSource>
	<SrcSQL>SELECT * FROM reiseliv</SrcSQL> 
	<GeometryField encoding='PointFromColumns' x='x_utm33' y='y_utm33'/>
	<GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
	</OGRVRTLayer>
	</OGRVRTDataSource>"
	CONNECTIONTYPE ogr
	DATA "test"
	STATUS on
	TYPE point
	NAME "1"
	CLASS
		COLOR 0 0 0
		NAME "Test access"
		OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
		SIZE 5
		SYMBOL "square"
		EXPRESSION "Camping"
	END
END

On the OGR homepage I can see that OGR also enables support for ArcSDE data (http://gdal.maptools.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html). 

My question is this:

I use Mapserver 4.8.1 on Windows downloaded from DM Solutions. Does this Mapserver compilation support displaying data from ArcSDE via OGR?

In case this is true, does anybody have an example of syntax, like the one I use for displaying ODBC data, but for ArcSDE (to use in the mapfile)?

Does it also support displaying POINT/LINE/POLYGON?

I'm currently working on a mapserver\chameleon application, I've seen
a couple of posts on this mailing list in which people used the label
value of "angle auto" to force the angle of the label to match a line.

Adding the angle, auto to my label doesn't seem to make any difference
at all in my map's appearance. All road labels are still completely
horizontal.

I would really like for the angle of the label to match the angle of
that section of road. Any help in this matter would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Mark,

I check the spec (99-049) and it seems clear the above is (with 3 levels
of brackets) is correct according to sections 3.2.5.2 and the example in
3.2.5.3.

Subject: [4.6.1 TO 4.8.1]: Problems with PNG and PHP/MapScript?
In-Reply-To: <43FC53A9.2090405@fielax.de>

This could be a number of things. Are you editing your files in windows and
then transfering them to Linux? Could be incompatible line endings. Are you
including a shebang line in your PHP scripts? Could be a problem with odd
characters in the shebang line. Could be a problem with the new php.ini file
and the doc_root variable.

Have you tried creating a simple PHP script and testing, followed by a
simple PHP-MapScript script (and testing)?

Subject: tileindex within a tile index
Message-ID: <WED.22.FEB.2006.180009.0800.DYLAN.BEAUDETTEGMAIL.COM>

Greetings,

I was wondering if it is possible to include a tile index within another tile 
index.... i.e. recursive tile indices for multiple levels of imagery.... 

I haven't tried doing this, but have often wondered about it.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Dylan,

I do not believe this is supported.  Note that building a spatial index
for a merged tileindex already gives a similar effect in that large parts
of the tileindex are ignored if they fall outside the area of interest.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Unfortunately neither one of them worked.

1) The CLASSITEM seems not to be the problem. At least when I took it  
away it still didn't use the the EXPRESSION.

2) For the NATURAL JOIN I get an error message. (Postgresql reports  
the error as 'ERROR: syntax error at or near "ON" at character 251  
'). But the LEFT JOIN seems to work and when I run the query directly  
in the database the result looks correct.

I tried to play a bit around, but without success...

Just to be sure that I understand it correctly: the EXPRESSION  
parameter references to the alias in the SELECT statement, no? So if  
I have
	regions_view.name AS name
then my
	EXPRESSION ([name] ne 'Africa')
is based on the alias...

Gush, I am really stuck there...

Stefan,

I am not sure if this could work for you, but you could try creating a view or a function (if parameters are needed) and then call that from MSS. I've used that to avoid constructs that MSS didn't like, or to do other behind-the-scenes processing.

Plus diagnosing the postgres sql errors is sometimes easier than figuring out what MSS is doing, depending on how it is configured.

Hi Paul

the software costs depend on where you sit in the world. list price in
other areas is at least double of what was mentioned ... one thing to
think about in your cost comparision: if the client has ArcGIS and loads
of MXD he wants to publish, ArcIMS might be "cheaper", as there is no
work at all involved except to create the Services. Going from mxd to
MapServer involves quite a bit of work (the tools currently available
are not that straight forward, especially if you have complex
symbology). If the client has ArcView 3.x and loads projects and Shapes,
MapServer is probably the easier way.

Open the command prompt and then type:

Search for MALLOC_CHECK

This is a feature of newer malloc impl that add checking code so that
memory leaks or mismanagements can be detected.If that does not help
try to disable SELinux.

Hmm, tried this too now. Not that it made a difference, but it gave  
me an idea. It sounds really stupid, but although I used "character  
varying" as the field definition I had the impression that something  
was wrong within the fields. So, I found out that there were empty  
spaces behind the field values. I have no idea how they got there.....

Relieved, but ashamed, it refreshed the views... and.... still, it  
did not work...

So, meanwhile I have this definition:

	LAYER
		NAME bg_shape
		CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
		CONNECTION 'user=xxx password=xxx dbname=xxx' 			
		TYPE POLYGON
		DATA 'the_geom FROM countries_regions_view USING UNIQUE id USING  
srid=-1'
		CLASSITEM 'reg_name'
		CLASS
			NAME ''
		        EXPRESSION ([reg_name] ne 'Africa')
			OUTLINECOLOR 230 230 230
			COLOR 230 230 230
		END
	END

and attached is a screenshot of the view.

Does the error message also include the query that was sent to postgres?
If yes, could you post it to the list?

Hi!

I have a quite large raster dataset (JPG) which i use with TILE/TILEINDEX,
It works pretty nice, but is extremely slow processing.

Any suggestions on which kind of format I should use instead of JPG, which
Mapserver handles more effective?

Frode

I've never perform benchmark but I have a bunch of raster, tif format,
each about 7Mb and with tileindex it's pretty quick.
Jpeg is lower in size but due to compression it asks more CPU work for sure

You definitely don't need a CLASSITEM when you use "logical" expressions 
which directly reference some fields or attributes of your underlying 
dataset, as you're doing. So, it's better to leave this one away.

Don't forget to put quotes around [reg_name]. Aren't you trying to do a 
string comparison between the value of reg_name and "Africa"? Well, then 
you'll need them as Mapserver simply replaces [reg_name] with it's 
actual value before evaluating the expression.
So, I suggest giving a try to somewhat like this:

EXPRESSION ('[reg_name]' ne 'Africa')

Hi Frode

We had the same experence with JPEG, depending on output format
definitions. I'd use TIFF (or if you have access/can convert it, I'd use
ECW, incredibly fast!).

Message-ID: <THU.23.FEB.2006.041052.0600.SC0RP10NAUYAHOO.COM.AU>

Hi guys,

I have some ecw's that I wanna serve with Mapserver, but I can't seem to get
them to display. These ecw's are projected in GDA94 with Zones 54-56. No
error's come up and other layers (shapes, wbmp's, tiff) come up fine. I use
the CGI mapserver which obviously has GDAL with ECW's already included. I've
gone thru' a few posts regarding ecw's and but no help. Also, as one post
suggested, i've got the header info within the image itself, but that's no
help either.

I'm sure i'm missing something obvious, so any help would be greatly
appreciated.

cheers,
Ajay

Hahaha. That was a good one. Thanks a lot. Quite right. I actually  
tried it before, but like ['reg_name']... didn't know (and didn't  
understand) that the apostrophes should be around the bracktes...

I'm having issues compiling mapserver on my new macbook pro. I am
following the instructions at

instructions are for an older version of mapserver and older versions
of various dependencies.

Configure went fine as far as I can tell. When I go to make it goes
for a while and this is the last few lines before it quits. This is
all greek to me so any help would be appreciated.

You've hit a problem with Xcode 2.2.  In the makefile, change LD to g+ 
+.  Yes, the instructions are a little out of date, I've been  
focusing on the installers.

Anything in particular you need in an Mac Intel MapServer?  My  
installer is mostly Intel ready right now, just missing an Intel  
mapscript for PHP-Apache.  But that will be done by the end of the day.

Did you try 'ldd /usr/lib/php4/php_mapscript_40.so' to see if their are any
missing libraries?

What I would really like would be for mapserver with php5. Also ecw
support which I also had trouble compiling. Do you have any tips on
compiling ming> I had issues there too.

Anyways, I'll edit the makefile and see what happens.

Now that I have PHP 4 fully Universal (yes, it's online now), I'm  
thinking about a PHP 5 installer.  No time frame yet.

ECW does not work on OS X yet - nasty threading issues that ER Mapper  
is working on.  Soon I hope.  I don't like depending on Arc.

For ming, make sure you have the recent 0.3 beta 2, tho I just saw  
that it is final now.  I haven't tried that yet.  For a wuick build,  
the main problem I found was in decompile.c, pool there conflicts  
with pool somewhere else.  So, what I did was replace all word  
ocurrences of 'pool' with 'dpool'.

Hi there,

  It just came in my mind: I wonder if is might be possible to setup a UMN
Mapserver environment on a mobile/handheld device (cellphone, PocketPC
etc.)? So the MapServer runs on the PocketPC including core geospatial
datasets (contours etc.) and accesses a WMS through the internet connection.
May there is a "ms4mob" ? ;-)

  Does anyone has experience with that? Is there a documentation available?

Cheers
Rainer

no answer here for your specific question, but -- why would you want to 
run MapServer on a handheld when you could use the browser on your 
handheld to access MapServer installed on a real computer? I mean, that 
is the whole point of running a server, so remote and mobile users (and 
not just those holding mobile devices) can access the data. All you 
would have to do is create a small-screen optimized version of your 
site; fairly easy to do if you are using a scripting environment with 
some kind of templating system.

Hi Puneet,

  agree on that, but the permanent internet connection in a rural area might
make it difficult to access the internet permanetly (coverage, price etc.).
So a mobile UMN application on the mobile used to view core datasets (may
incl. the creation of data), may download topomaps in a certain area (jsut
as raster) and the user is capable to navigate through the area and submits
modification in one post command to the WMS server.

  I agree, that an html client is capabile to do the same, but requires a
permanent online connection to the server.

Cheers
Rainer

There are quite a few reasons to do this.  One would be to make the 
thing run without a data connection.  We have need to go into tunnels 
and underground for example.  Not to mention that it would run quicker.  
Doing Red-line markup in the field was another aspect of what we were 
interested in doing.  At the time we didn't have as many data capable 
phones as we have now, but I still think making the remote device 
(PDA/PHONE) run independantly has merit, even with the hardware 
capabilities available.

I experimented with an IPAQ a while ago.  I was more interested at the 
time in getting a HTTPD service running.  This way the remote device 
could also be accessed from other remote devices or back in the office.  
The idea being to run everything as a startup daemon as soon as the 
thing was turned on.  The Mapping system (in our case) was to be 
controlled by a GPS link in automode, where the map was centered 
automatically.   The mapping piece was the easy part.  the WebService 
was the harder piece.  We also wanted to be able to use the local 
WebServer to batch inputting in the field, and sync the remote 
WebService with the internal webservice by the users.  At some point 
this might even be automatable.

The GPS angle was alos a reason to have the mapping and Web service 
running on the remote device.  Our intent was to periodically query the 
remote devices Web service for it's current GPS location and allow for 
tracking and replay of the GPS trail via a Web Query, even from another 
PDA/Phone with the same setup.

Adding in the MapServer Component seemed like it would be possible, but 
in our case, the HTTPD aspect was the first order of business.  I even 
considered a dedicated hardware device for something like this, but we 
just don't have the resources to build something like this ourselve (not 
desire mind you, just resources :c).

Hello all... I?m using this Steve Lime pie chart... It works great! But I?m
wondering if its posible to do a bar *graph* in that way...

Thanks

Paul


-----------------
Search in the archive for pie chart. There was a nice example by Steve Lime
end of 2004. See below.

Best regards,

Hi all: I was updating mapgd.c today to make use of GD functions that
appeared in GD 2.0.x. I made a small modification to the marker drawing
code for ELLIPSE symbols, specifically circles. Now if you specify a
style angle it is interpreted as a "pie slice". You can do things like:

  http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/testing/charts/test.gif
  http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/testing/charts/test.map

Since you can load an angle from an attribute (via ANGLEITEM) you can
build simple pie charts pretty easy. Only problem is it's hard to do
more than 2 colors, and the origin is always 0.

Assuming folks are ok with the modification (it's only 5 lines of code)
what about adding a STARTANGLE parameter? We could probably do some auto
computation of starting angles between styles so that multiple element
charts would be possible/easy to construct.

So much in emails goes unsaid. The obvious answer to my question is, of 
course, being able to access the map data "disconnected." I should have 
discounted that in my original query, and said what I really meant to 
say in the first place --

the hardware, and most importantly, the screen-size constraints would 
make the mapping experience woeful on such a device. On a postage stamp 
size screen, there will be a lot of panning and zooming involved. I used 
Vindigo's city-info app on my Palm-OS device for a while -- not a GIS, 
but it can tell you where to go, and how to get there, etc.. They have a 
nice model whereby one syncs info over an internet connection. It was 
fun for a couple of months, and then all the mousing around got tiring. 
Granted, some specific applications might benefit from a handheld 
version, but for most part, just put your website on a laptop and carry 
that... the little notebooks in both Mac and PC (and all the *nix 
installs on x86 hardware) are really tiny. No further work required, and 
it would run pleasingly.

Anyway, thanks for the detailed answer. It would definitely be 
technically interesting, and publicity-wise positive to see MapServer or 
variants running on handhelds. Maybe innovations in input methods will 
making the mousing around bearable. Maybe, one day on my wristwatch as 
well. ;-)

Hi,

I have a map file with extent "74.3605 24.2590 79.5400 20.5070". I have a
layer(with data in a shape file) with very few points

75.23478 23.40182
75.78261 21.90126
76.37162 22.90461
77.32890 20.88712

The mapserver shows these points correctly. But it does not have correct
idea about the distance between the points. How do I indicate the
mapserver that these are latitude and longitudes and the distances should
be calculated correctly? Do I need to use scale? or some other projection?

I really appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks,
Ramesh

Ramesh -

If your output map image is in a "lat/long" projection - which yours
seems to be, since the extents are in degrees - then you really cannot
put a scale bar on the map.  Distances are not constant across such a
map, and depend on the latitude and the orientation of the line you're
measuring.  A one-degree North/South line is not the same length as a
one-degree East/West line (except if you're near the equator).

If you want to put a usable scalebar on your map, measured in meters or
miles, etc., you need to use a different output projection - one that is
designed to provide such measurements.

I tried to setup MapServer into a Zaurus last year. The Zauri are nice because 
of their linux distros. Apache was ok, Php and MySql were availables although 
I did not try them. But I did not manage to compile MapServer. Troubles with 
different versions of gcc, I think. But it might be solved with cross 
compilation. I haven't been that far.
(The aim was to consult and digitize new features on a mobile device without 
internet connection).

Thank you very much for the quick response. How do I convert my lat/long
to a different projection, say LAEA? When I do this conversion, all my
shape files need to be re-created with this new projection co-ordinates,
right?
I have searched on the web, but could not figure out a way to convert
lat/long to LAEA. I really appreciate any pointers related to this.

Ramesh -

MapServer will do all the reprojection for you.  You do not need to
convert your source data.  You simply specify the input projection
(lat/lon) for your input data and the output projection (LAEA) for the
map image.

To get started, use the MapServer Tutorial at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/tutorial/tutorial - there's a section
there on getting started with projections in MapServer.

Ed,

I really appreciate your quick responses.
I have looked at the tutorial and used 'cs2cs' to get new extent values
and used output projection as shown below

PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:2163"
END

but I am getting the following error -

"loadMapInternal(): General error message. Given map extent is invalid."

The coordinates that I am using represent a part of India. I am not sure
if the parameters I passed to 'cs2cs' to calculate the new extent are
valid for india. I have used the exact same parameters as mentioned on the
website -

cs2cs +proj=latlong +datum=WGS84 +to +proj=laea +ellps=clrk66 +lat_0=45
+lon_0=-100

Also I am not sure if I can use epsg code 2163 for india.
I am supposed to find out the correct code by looking at the proj/nad/epsg
file? There are so many entries for India and I am not sure which one to
use.


Thanks
Ramesh

Hi guys
   
  I have an ascii image the have , i have created this image by calculating the NDVI so the picxel values are from 0-1 also there are oixel has values -9999 which represent the No nodata_value .
   
  when i render thes image using mapserver it gives me just black images, i have checked this image with othe softwares it is correctly created . 
   
  how can i fix this problem.

Hi list,

What's the difference between using filter or using expression on a
postgis layer in terms of efficiency and server load (pros and cons)?

any recommendation?

thanks,
Luis

Two things to check:

1) Do the ascii raster extents match the extent of your mapfile?

2) Did you scale the image according to data range? Since your values
go from 0 to 1, you can use a processing directive in your layer to
scale the values in that range from black to white:

  PROCESSING "SCALE=0,1"

There's a good how-to on raster access that you might want to check out also:

Best of luck,

Thanks to Paul Moen, I have a complete Mac OS X Universal PPC/Intel  
MapServer installer.  The main problem was building an Intel PHP as

the Apache executables (the whole bin folder in fact) needed.

This includes (available as separate components):

MapServer 4.8.1 - CGI, PHP 4 extension for both PHP as CGI and PHP as  
Apache module
PHP 4.4.2
GDAL 1.3.1 and various GIS libraries
Postgres 8.1.2 + PostGIS 1.1.1

Available for Mac OS X 10.3.9 (obviously not Intel) and 10.4.x (PPC/ 
Intel).

Did you compile mapserver with libraries found in /usr/local/lib/? If so the
php_mapscript_40.so might be finding/using the default libraries in
/usr/lib/ or /lib/, which might cause this error. Are you loading
php_mapscript_40.so with the PHP binary compiled from the PHP source you
referenced in the mapserver build? Compiling with one version and loading
with another may cause the error.

I'm sure I had this problem before too...

Hello,
I'm new to MapServer and I'm trying to get the gmap demo from ka-map  
to run on my MacOSX -10.4.5.  I have installed MapServer 4.8.  I have  
setup the Itasca demo--works well.  I'm working toward putting the ka- 
map viewer interface on top of MapServer.

  I've made the AddType edits in my httpd.conf, and also in the  
php.ini file.  Before making those changes, the page returned  
nothing.  I get the following errors when I call "http://localhost/ 
gmap/gmap75.phtml".

Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library './ 
php_mapscript.so' - (null) in /Library/WebServer/gmap/htdocs/ 
gmap75.phtml on line 54

htdocs/gmap75.inc.php on line 40

htdocs/gmap75.inc.php on line 42

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ms_GetVersion() in /Library/ 
WebServer/gmap/htdocs/gmap75.inc.php on line 51


I have two php_mapscript.so files, both of which I've made  
executable.  They are located at :

/usr/local/php4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429
and :
/usr/local/php4cgi/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429


When I initially installed the binaries, I installed both mapserver  
packages, "mapserver-php4apache.pkg" and "mapserver-php4cgi.pkg"  I  
learned later that both could be installed but only one can run. I  
don't know if my inability to direct which package is "driving" is  
causing the present difficulty or not.

Any help will be appreciated,
thanks.
Phil

Thanks for the help. It is working. And ming turned out to be much
easier than expected since it didn't actually have to be compiled
seperately. PHP 5 comes with it as long as you configure with
--with-ming

One question I have is regarding tiff input. PHP info gives me this:

MapServer version 4.8.1 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=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

There is no mention here of tiff or geotif input. Do I need to specify
this when I configure or does gdal take care of this?

Subject: MapServer, PostGIS, Subquery with JOIN, WMS GetFeatureInfo request
Message-ID: <FRI.24.FEB.2006.042431.0500.NICKSTONEENV.COM>

Hello all,
 
I am confused and could use a hand (or a slap on the head... whatever
:-D ).
 
I have a MapServer which is acting as a WMS server to my Web Map
Application. This works fine.
 
I have started using PostGIS to serve the data for my WMS layers,
instead of Shapefiles (which I was previously using). This works fine.
 
I want to query my layers using the WMS GetFeatureInfo request activated
by mouse-click, and return the results in GML. This works fine.
 
...
 
BUT, now I want to do all of the above on a data layer from PostGIS
defined with a left outer join, like so:
--- snip ---
DATA "the_geom from (select * from layer_swmus s left outer join (select
*, ('SWMU '||object_oid) as swmu_id from objects where object_type =
'SWMU') q on q.swmu_id = s.swmu_id) as myquery using unique the_geom
using srid = 2258"
--- snip ---
 
When I execute this query by hand in PostGIS/PostGreSQL, I get a big ol'
table o' results, like I expect. In other words, the SQL runs fine.
 
Yet, when I execute the GetFeatureInfo request on one of the features
generated by this subquery, no attributes are returned. The layer itself
renders properly and shows me a bunch of points like I would expect it
to do - points with no attributes!
 
Attributes are returned for other PostGIS layers. 
Attributes are returned for other PostGIS layers upon which the join
query above is based (i.e. a GetFeatureInfo query on the data layer for
'layer_swmus' returns all attributes for the the table 'layer_swmus').
Attributes are *not* returned for this JOIN subquery layer, only.
Not only are no attributes returned, but the GML returned contains no
GML, really... when the GML is viewed in Firefox, I get an error about
there being no elements in the XML file. Normally, if no data was
returned, I would just get Firefox to display an empty XML tree (one
node with no children).
 
I have tried various reworkings of the above subquery with no further
success.
 
This all leads me to the following question:
 
Given that the 'DATA' label in MapServer mapfile, when used with
PostGIS, is only supposed to look at one column (the geometry column),
how does MapServer know anything about the attributes for the layer at
all. It *seems* to me (and I know I don't know everything here), that if
the definition for the DATA label is "<geometry column name> from <table
name or subquery>" that this translates into a SQL statement like
"SELECT <geometry column name> FROM <table name or subquery>" upon with
MapServer renders the layer. But if that were so, then where would any
of the attributes for the layer come from? Does MapServer execute the
"SELECT <geometry column name> FROM <table name or subquery>" query to
get the geometry for the map layer, and then re-execute the query with
the <geometry column name> item replaced by '*' (i.e. "SELECT <geometry
column name> FROM <table name or subquery>" becomes "SELECT * FROM
<table name or subquery>")?
 
Am I doing something wrong with my JOIN subquery such that I've broken
my layer, or does the JOIN throw MapServer's PostGIS connector for a
loop?
Do any of the wise gurus who frequent the list have any suggestions on
how I can get my attributes from the JOIN subquery to show up in my
GetFeatureInfo request's returned GML?
 
I can't believe I am the first person to try this...
 
Before anyone suggests the solution of using a view to encapsulate my
JOIN so it need not be in the subquery, I'll just say that I am aware I
could try that approach (though I have not yet done so), but my
curiosity has been piqued by this problem as it is, so I'm hoping to
find out more about the JOINs in subqueries issue I have. I would also
really love to know how MapServer gets the attribute columns for PostGIS
layers.
 
Thanks for your time, and thanks in advance for any replies.

I try to join a shp file and a mysql table.
I try this :

ogrinfo -ro

"select * from sa_lo a left join 'MYSQL:

ERROR 1: SQL: Unrecognised secondary field a.Id in JOIN clause..

the Id column (N,9,0) exist in the shape file and the id field (INT(6))
exist in the lones table.
Then i don't understand what's wrong.

An idea ?

After my just previous post to the list, I decided to try my alternative
solution...
 
 "" Before anyone suggests the solution of using a view to encapsulate

I could try that approach (though I have not yet done so), but my

really love to know how MapServer gets the attribute columns for PostGIS

So, I created a view in PostGreSQL which defines the data as my Join...
the View works fine when I execute, for example, "SELECT * FROM myview"
in PostGreSQL.
 
Yet, when I try to use it as a layer source in MapServer... it just
plain doesn't work. I am I really to believe that views cannot be used
by the PostGIS connector in MapServer? I sincerely hope not.
 
DATA "the_geom from swmu_images" (swmu_images is the view)

The only thing I can think of is... does the PostGIS connector require

You have INPUT=GDAL which is allright to read tiff images. Not sure about 
geotif.

Ajay

you need to provide more info. It could anything.... can you view the
image correctly in other packages like QGIS or ERViewer?

you sure you have the extents right?

Subject: PROBLEM: PHP MAPSCRIPT/ARCSDE
Message-ID: <FRI.24.FEB.2006.130952.0100.RUTHSCHOENBUCHNERYAHOO.DE>

    Dear people, 
    
    I have got a problem querying a layer with ArcSDE and a created pointobj();
  In my mapfile I definded the correct parameters for the  ArcSDE-Connection because I can display the layers without any problems.
    
    When I want to query a layer, it says:
    Fatal error:  [MapServer Error]: msSDELayerGetShape(): SE_stream_fetch_row(): Invalid pointer argument to function. (-65)   in /../../webgis.php on line 142
  
  Line 142 of my webgis.php says the following:
  $Shape = $Abfragelayer->getShape($ti,$si);
  
  bevor line 142 I defined the queryable layer and the results:
    //create point object and querybypoint
    $punkt=ms_newPointObj();
    $punkt ->setXY($x_real,$y_real);
    @$map ->queryByPoint($punkt, MS_SINGLE, -1);
    
    //test, if query was succesful
    if((@$map ->queryByPoint($punkt, MS_SINGLE, -1))==MS_SUCCESS){
    $Abfrage="Abfrage hat geklappt";
    
    //find queryable layer
    for($iLayer=0; $iLayer < $map->numlayers; $iLayer++)
        {
            $Abfragelayer =   $map->GetLayer($iLayer);
    
            $numResults = $Abfragelayer ->getNumResults();
    
            if ($numResults == 0)
                continue;
    
    //open table of queryable layer and read row
    $Abfragelayer->open();
    
    $Spalte=explode(" ",$Abfragelayer->getMetaData("RESULT_FIELDS"));
    
    //read   entry of row
    
    //define specific object of shape
    $resultat=$Abfragelayer->getResult(0);
    
     $si=$resultat->shapeindex;
     $ti=$resultat->tileindex;
     $ci=$resultat->classindex;
    
    $Shape = $Abfragelayer->getShape($ti,$si);
  
  Surely  I made something wrong with correct options and parameters regarding to  ArcSDE in my php-script, because I am newbie to MapScript
    
    Can anybody help? Regards, Ruth

William,

Great work! Checking details, two questions come to my mind (I haven't 
done this in a long time) --

what version of Apache are you building against -- the stock version 
that comes with the OS?

are you building SWIG MapScript (or does that happen automatically now?).

Many thanks,

This is on my "figure out some day myself" list, too.  I'm doing the 
view thing right now, but I'd like to not have to create views for 
everything.

Yes.  It needs some unique field in order to randomly access an 
individual rows, it just so happens that OID is a convenient way to get 
that in most cases.  You can also specify your own unique column name 
with "using unique <column name>" if your view doesn't have an OID 
column but you have some other key you can use.  I just pull in the OID 
from the main geometry-containing table when I define the view.

Hello all,

  I'am familiar with regExp but new to MapScript/Mapserver. I can search

  i tried,

   qStr = '/8759/58/'

   There must be a point that i miss.

  i tried,

could you give more context please? Are you using CGI, or MapScript? If 
the latter, which kind of MapScript (PHP, Python, Perl, etc.)? Providing 
the actual bit of code that is giving you trouble would be very helpful 
as well.

hi Puneet,

  im using PHP/MapScript

  using a code like

  $this->qLayer->queryByAttributes($fldName, "('[STEPNUM]' =~ /123/)",
MS_MULTIPLE);

  the query returns result,

  $this->qLayer->queryByAttributes($fldName, "('[STEPNUM]' =~ /123/12/)",
MS_MULTIPLE);


  the query returns 0, but there are values like 123/123 or 123/12.

best regards.

Hi Shoaib,

Thanks for the reply. The extents are correct, I've even set it up to
display in full world extents. As mentioned before, I've got others layers
coming up (eg: shapes, wbmps, geotiffs) in the same mapfile, but this is the
only layer that doesn't show up.

I can view the ecw's in ArcGIS, ERViewer, FWTools, etc, except using Mapserver.

I guess I forgot to mention that I'm running this on Windows XP, Mapserver
4.8.1 (ms4w download).

Hope this helps, please let me know if you need anymore info.

Cool.

Two reasons to build a separate ming: PHP's is old, at least PHP4's.   
And then it's also available to MapServer (OUTPUT=SWF is missing in  
yours).

Looks like Blaise answered the TIFF question for you.  GDAL.

Its simply not generating an image in the tmp folder..  I can display

Dennis -

I've got two quick thoughts:

1. Are you sure the server's up?  Can you get a response by typing a WMS
request in your browser?

2. The CONNECTION string (the WMS resource name) should end in a "?" or
a "&" - you should have ampersands at the end of yours.

Travis,

I assume by "outperform" that you mean display faster?  I don't know the
answer, so I think you would really have to setup a test to know for sure.
But I would not be at all surprised to find the 8bit geotiff was faster.

If you use RGB imagery, are you using an RGB output format? (jpeg or png24)
If so, the re-compression of the mapview can take significantly longer than
compressing an 8bit paletted result in gif or png format.  If using an 8bit
output format then the resulting image quality can be pretty bad.
Approaches to alleviating that (error diffusion) will slow things down
a bunch more.

PPC or Intel?  Is that my recent 4.8.1 (yesterday)?  Or the 4.8.0RC3  
I generated without a full installer? (update to 4.8.1 if so)

The PHP Enable should take care of httpd.conf changes for you, and  
correctly for your choice of which PHP to use (CGI or Apache module).

It could be that your gmap75.phtml is trying to load './ 
php_mapscript.so' - notice the ./ there, it's trying to load  
mapscript from the same folder as gmap75.phtml.  Remove that if it's  
in your php code.

If not, something might be wrong with your php.ini.  My PHP installer  
should install a php.ini with the correct extension path setting -  
basically, default, which is one of those you list below, depending  
on which is loaded.  Check your phpinfo() to see what the  
extension_dir setting says in PHP Core.  You could try to explicitly  
set extension_dir.

While you're looking at phpinfo(), check to make sure the correct PHP  
is loaded - if httpd.conf isn't right, you may be loading Apple's  
PHP.  Look at the configuration file path setting, it should match  
one of my installed PHPs.

I think the Discussion "PostGIS and MapScript getExtent() function"
from july 2005 is related to this question.
Examples: 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.mapserver.user/12099
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.mapserver.user/12100

The Oracle-Metadata in USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA is used by the 
Oracle-Spatial-
Indexes. Users cannot add features outside this extent (without asking the 
DB-Admin 
to expand these values). 
Therefore this extent will often be *much* bigger than the extent of 
existing real data's (and is often useless as an initial-extent for a 
web-application).

Dennis -
 
Thanks - the server seems fine.  But you're not defining a PROJECTION
block for the WMS layer - you need to tell MapServer that the input
image is in EPSG:4269 projection rather than in the default LCC
projection of your output image.  Without that, MapServer will treat it
as LCC input coordinates, and the resulting image will be way off-screen
somewhere.
 
I might be wrong on that - I got in the habit of specifying PROJECTION
blocks for WMS layers a long time ago, when they were required.  That
might have changed, but it's worth a try.

Is anyone coming to Chicago for the American Association of Geographers
conference next month?  I am still on the fence about attending and I
have not found the web site to be very helpful in assessing whether I
will find anything pertaining to open source GIS going on there.  If
anyone has a scoop for me please drop me a line.  Thanks.

Subject: Get Demo Running
Message-ID: <FRI.24.FEB.2006.103950.0600.DOMINICGUSAHAOL.COM>

I have mapserver up and running on my C: drive on Windows but I'm having
trouble with the demo.

 The 'Mapserver New User' document says

 "You will need to move the demo files to their appropriate locations on
your HTTP server, and modify the Map File and html pages to reflect the
paths and URLs of your server."

Unfortunately I'm a bit of a IT novice, could anyone give me help on doing
this?

Cheers

Heh, looks like this is fixed in 4.8.1, so I guess I'll just do an emergency
upgradeoctomy :)

Open the command prompt and then type:

man malloc

Search for MALLOC_CHECK

This is a feature of newer malloc impl that add checking code so that memory
leaks or mismanagements can be detected.If that does not help try to disable
SELinux.

stock apache with OS X.  It says in the PHP readme and on the

I believe SWIG is just the underlying API for the various mapscripts  
EXCEPT PHP mapscript.  I don't build any of the other mapscripts, but  
I've been considering adding Python mapscript.

Hello,

I am using mapserver in both a WMS and shp2image applications.  I need my
output images to be anti-aliased but I can't figure out how to do this.
Does anyone have any tips?

All my data comes from ESRI Shape files.

thanks,

Jerl

If you have the option, please don't use oid, use a primary key (like  
the 'gid' created by shp2pgsql) as your unique key.  Primary keys  
already have indexes, oids do not.  Primary keys show up  
automatically in a "select *" query, oids do not.  oids are  
deprecated in pgsql and not available by default in pgsql 8.1.   
Basically oid is now a deadend, and we need to start erasing all uses  
of them.

That seems to only work in the LABEL object.
It gives a parse error outside the LABEL object.

By default MapServer presumes that the output map and all layers are in
the same projection/coordinate system.  As a result, for simple cases
you don't need need to tell MapServer what projection you're using.  If
you ask for a map at coordinate 23456, 2837455 then MapServer will look
for that coordinate in your data and draw whatever is there.
 
If you want to use data sources with different input projections, or if
you want MapServer to produce an output map in a projection different
than the input data, then you need to specify PROJECTION blocks.  The
map-level (top-level) PROJECTION block specifies the desired output
projection, and the EXTENT of your map is in the units of that
projection.  If that's all you do, then all input layers are presumed to
be in that projection.  If your input data is in a different projection,
you have to tell MapServer by adding a PROJECTION block to each layer
with a projection different from the output projection.
 
It is often best to use an all-or-nothing approach.  If your top-level
output map has a PROJECTION block, then put PROJECTION blocks in all
your layer definitions.

Ahh.. yup.. that was it!  Stupid me.. I fought with this for 5 days
now..  lol  Thanks!
 
So..  I take it if you have data with different projections you need to
set this at the layer level?  I had setup the main projection which all
my data is in and thought by setting the layer projection for the WMS
server is would work, but it certainly did not...  I removed the
Projection all together and things started to display.

Thanks - the server seems fine.  But you're not defining a PROJECTION
block for the WMS layer - you need to tell MapServer that the input
image is in EPSG:4269 projection rather than in the default LCC
projection of your output image.  Without that, MapServer will treat it
as LCC input coordinates, and the resulting image will be way off-screen
somewhere.
 
I might be wrong on that - I got in the habit of specifying PROJECTION

Hello,

I am using mapserver in both a WMS and shp2image applications.  I need my output images to be anti-aliased but I can't figure out how to do this.
Does anyone have any tips?

All my data comes from ESRI Shape files. 

thanks,

Ahh.. yup.. that was it!  Stupid me.. I fought with this for 5 days now..  lol  Thanks!
 
So..  I take it if you have data with different projections you need to set this at the layer level?  I had setup the main projection which all my data is in and thought by setting the layer projection for the WMS server is would work, but it certainly did not...  I removed the Projection all together and things started to display.

Dennis -
 
Thanks - the server seems fine.  But you're not defining a PROJECTION block for the WMS layer - you need to tell MapServer that the input image is in EPSG:4269 projection rather than in the default LCC projection of your output image.  Without that, MapServer will treat it as LCC input coordinates, and the resulting image will be way off-screen somewhere.
 
I might be wrong on that - I got in the habit of specifying PROJECTION blocks for WMS layers a long time ago, when they were required.  That might have changed, but it's worth a try.

I am using mapserver CGI with shapefiles, and have a web interface that
includes a rubberband - type of area selection tool.   I use
itemnquerymap mode to highlight certain polygons, which works fine.
However, if the user selects an area with the rubberband tool that does
not include one of the queried polygons, mapserver generates an error:

 

msQueryByAttributes(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s)
found

 

and a red X is displayed in the web page.  Is there a trick I could do
that would cause the map to be generated, even if no matches were found
in the query?

Subject: MapServer, PostGIS, Subquery with JOIN,
 WMS GetFeatureInfo / Followup Question
Message-ID: <FRI.24.FEB.2006.151237.0500.NICKSTONEENV.COM>

Hello Paul, Steve, Jeff, and other MapServer users,

Thanks for the replies. 

By adding an appropriate 'using unique' clause to my DATA entry in the
mapfile, I got my layer based on a view to draw. I am glad that views
can be used.

There is a trick that had to be realized. At first, I put in a 'using
unique the_geom' clause which of course assumed that my geometry field
was unique. But, because the source of my layer is a view (or a subquery
in its previous life) which has a left outer join in it, the geometry
column is far from unique. This is what I thought I wanted - to generate
a layer which had multiple points at the same locations with different
attributes... a series of attributes for a given point location. In my
case, the idea is that the feature point can have images associated with
it from a table of images. So, a left outer join on that table gives me
a layer with duplicate points that have different values for the image
name attribute.

Anyway, initially, after I realized that 'the_geom' is not a unique
field for me, I switched to using a field that is unique in my view, and
things came to life. My GetFeatureInfo requests suddenly started
returning attributes, and life looked good.

But no. Not perfect. What I had in mind has not worked quite right - my
GetFeatureInfo tool clicks on a point feature, and I get a list of
attributes, by layer, for each feature under the pointer. Except, not
all the duplicate point features are returned. The best I can think to
describe it is this: I have a stack of points all defined in the same
layer, and I click on the stack, and only the top point in that stack is
returned. I was hoping it would return data for each of those points in
the stack.

So, is there some way I can make this work better? Am I totally barking
up the wrong tree? I have one GetFeatureInfo request that needs to
return multiple values for the same field of a given feature, based on a
join...

 

Thanks for any thoughts and help!

If you have the option, please don't use oid, use a primary key (like
the 'gid' created by shp2pgsql) as your unique key. Primary keys already
have indexes, oids do not. Primary keys show up automatically in a
"select *" query, oids do not. oids are 

deprecated in pgsql and not available by default in pgsql 8.1. 

Basically oid is now a deadend, and we need to start erasing all uses of
them.

Nick,

I seem to remember a post from one of the postGIS guys awile back the
you needed to add an entry in the geometry_columns table for the view.

This is on my "figure out some day myself" list, too. I'm doing the view
thing right now, but I'd like to not have to create views for
everything.

Yes. It needs some unique field in order to randomly access an
individual rows, it just so happens that OID is a convenient way to get
that in most cases. You can also specify your own unique column name
with "using unique <column name>" if your view doesn't have an OID
column but you have some other key you can use. I just pull in the OID
from the main geometry-containing table when I define the view.

Message-ID: <FRI.24.FEB.2006.135504.0700.BFRASERGEOANALYTIC.COM>

Ajay,

  Try adding the following to your LAYER definition for the ECW files:

    PROJECTION
      "AUTO"
    END


  Assuming that:
    1. your ECW file has a coordinate system definition
    2. you have GDAL with ECW capability linked in to mapserver
    3. your map file EXTENTS and UNITS are set so the mapserver generated
graphics geographically overlap your ECW file,

  then you should get the ECW contents rendered into the output image.

You mention that you have many ecw's across zones 54 to 56.   If you've many
ecw files, you'll likely want to create a TILEINDEX layer to access them.
And in that case you'll actually have to create one LAYER definition (and
one TILEINDEX) for each zone.  And you may need to explicitly state the
coordinate system in each layer:

    PROJECTION
     "proj=utm"
     "zone=54"
     "north"
     "datum=WGS84"
     "no_defs"
    END
(you'll need to find out which datum or ellipsoid to use).

 WMS GetFeatureInfo / Followup Question
Message-ID: <FRI.24.FEB.2006.155925.0500.NICKSTONEENV.COM>

I thought of a way to rephrase/reask the question I am now stuck with.
 
I was reading through my MapServer book ('Beginning MapServer') on
Queries and Joins, to see if mr. Kropla had any suggestions.

He wrote that, in doing regular MapServer JOINs, if you want to have a
JOIN produce one-to-many results, you need to specify a template for the
JOIN to format each record beyond the first one that is returned into
the final HTML result. Otherwise, only the first record will be
returned.
 
How does this principal apply to the GML generated by GetFeatureInfo
requests? Obviously we don't need to define a valid HTML template to
output the data... but how do GetFeatureInfo requests deal with
one-to-many situations, and does the output format make any difference
on how it is handled? If I have my GetFeatureInfo request return HTML
rather than GML, can I use templates and have it handle a one-to-many
arrangement succesfully?
 
Thoughts, ideas?
 
Thanks!

Subject: Points adjustment on the map
Message-ID: <FRI.24.FEB.2006.152044.0600.LTREVINOGPOBSI.COM.MX>

Hi,

I'm developing a vehicule localization aplication using mapserver CGI with
postgis and I need to adjust my cartography with real data that comes from
a GPS installed on the vehicules.

My problem is that the points (vehicules position) displayed on the map
are 40-60 meters up north than they should be. My map output projection is
proj=longlat ellps=GRS80 datum=WGS84 no_defs (the same as my cartography
data). The data from the vehicules are stored on a postgis table and has
this projection: proj=longlat ellps=WGS84 datum=WGS84 no_defs. (I've tried
using different kind of projection but I didn't get what I need).

this particular aplication requires some sort of precision, so I need to
adjust this difference and haven't found how.

Is there any way I can adjust this?

Thanks in advance,
Luis.

Nick,

The answer to this takes either Assefa's input, or a browse of the  
source code to find out what the GetFeatureInfo is going.  It is  
probably doing a 'query' rather than an 'nquery', so having a multi- 
item template may make no difference at all.  The WMS spec is silent  
on what the actual behavior of the GetFeatureInfo should be, so it is  
very much an implementation question.

Tero,

This generally means you have two copies of GDAL/OGR on your system.
MapServer is getting built using the include files from one, but linked
against the libraries of another.  I would suggest you try and strip the
older GDAL/OGR off completely, or muck around with the MapServer makefile
to ensure that only one version is getting used consistently.  Basically
fiddling with the order of -I include directives and -L library paths.

Best regards,

Subject: Mapserver and Ming compilation
Message-ID: <SUN.26.FEB.2006.110224.0100.CANDALTONLINE.NO>

Hello everybody

I am compiling Mapserver 4.8.1 on Windows, and have some problem with the Ming library.

Before i try to compile Ming this is my mapserv.exe -v output:

MapServer version 4.8.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

I downloaded the ming-0.2a from (http://dl.maptools.org/dl/) that is ready to be compiled with Windows and nmake. After running nmake /f makefile.vc i successfully got a libming.lib library.

But when i try to compile Mapserver with this ming library i get the following (this is the last part of my output):

if exist c:\mapserver\gdal-1.3.1\gdal.pdb copy c:\mapserver\gdal-1.3.1\gdal.pdb .

Your map file might be wrong. Could you post it here ?

Hi There,

  The reason might be that the ming lib was built using a diffrent flag 
that the ones you are using to build mapserver (possiblity the flag 
/NODEFAULTLIB:libcd).

  You can rebuild ming using the same flags or use the binary pacakge 
put available at : 
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/assefa

  Please see e-mail for description of the package : 
http://www.nabble.com/A-Windows-Build-Tree-for-MapServer-t1084132.html

Hi There,

  From what I can see in the code, here is what you should do :

    * when doing the GetFeatureInfo use the request parametetr 
FEATURE_COUNT and set it to be above 1. The default is 1. This would 
trigger the nquery.
    * define on your server FEATURE_INFO_MIME_TYPE metadata to something 
like text/html
    * do your wms request with info_format=test/html (same mime type 
that the one defined in the map)

   This conditions should normally trigger all the logic used when doing 
regular query with the mapserver cgi (with the template processing).

  Give it a try and let me know. If It does not work, I can dig more 
into it.

Later,

Nick,

And once you've done all that, add some notes to the documentation on  
the mapserver site, for the next intrepid soul :)
Thanks Assefa!

 WMS GetFeatureInfo / Followup Question
Message-ID: <SUN.26.FEB.2006.130241.0500.NICKSTONEENV.COM>

Hi!

Thanks so much for looking into this. I was trying to dig through the
code as well. I noticed the "FEATURE_COUNT" parameter, and also a
different mode setting ... i.e. mode = MS_SINGLE vs MS_MULTIPLE, but I
couldn't really grasp the details enough to know if that had anything to
do with my situation. It sounds like you are saying it does.

Are you also suggesting that, in theory, if I use text/html as my output
format, and have a one-to-many type relationship, as a JOIN might, the
HTML generated from the templates will have one body entry per record
(as a one-to-many JOIN might)?

Assefa, are you the query maintainer? Or query guru? What is your role
in all this? Who would I e-mail to discuss/propose changes to the GML
output so that the records returned via GML are the same as returned via
HTML or Text?

Thank you again! I will let you know how this turns out.

Nick Floersch

Hi There,

  From what I can see in the code, here is what you should do :

    * when doing the GetFeatureInfo use the request parametetr
FEATURE_COUNT and set it to be above 1. The default is 1. This would
trigger the nquery.
    * define on your server FEATURE_INFO_MIME_TYPE metadata to something
like text/html
    * do your wms request with info_format=test/html (same mime type
that the one defined in the map)

   This conditions should normally trigger all the logic used when doing
regular query with the mapserver cgi (with the template processing).

  Give it a try and let me know. If It does not work, I can dig more
into it.

Later,

   From looking into the code, the template processing code seemd to 
kick in when those circumstances that I described are statisfied. I am 
not really familiar with the query/template precessing/join logic. I am 
assuming that if you manage to make things work with regular mapserver 
query by defining your join and templates properly, It should also work 
when doing a GetFeatureInfo.
  Steve Lime would be the autorite on the query stuff and also for the 
GML output.  I am more familiar with the wms code.  I think you should 
adress your propositions/changes to the list.

Subject: MapServer, PostGIS, Subquery with JOIN,
 WMS GetFeatureInfo / Followup Question - Ah ha
Message-ID: <SUN.26.FEB.2006.134623.0500.NICKSTONEENV.COM>

Thank you Assefa and Paul.

I *think* life has just become good. By setting the FEATURE_COUNT to
'2', and submitting my query, it seems to be returning all appropriate
information... in both HTML or GML formats. Since what I really need s
GML, this is perfect. Now I just need to set my GetFeatureInfo client to
put a higher FEATURE_COUNT number into the request string, and life
should be sweet. Interestingly, the number given to FEATURE_COUNT seems
to have nothing to do with how many features are returned once the query
becomes an NQUERY... I set it to '2' for my example, and '7' unique and
correct and appropriate records were returned. I'll do more testing over
the next few days, and report any further information as I find it.

I'll try to find an appropriate place to comment on this in the
MapServer wiki manual.

Thanks thanks!

   From looking into the code, the template processing code seemd to
kick in when those circumstances that I described are statisfied. I am
not really familiar with the query/template precessing/join logic. I am
assuming that if you manage to make things work with regular mapserver
query by defining your join and templates properly, It should also work
when doing a GetFeatureInfo.
  Steve Lime would be the autorite on the query stuff and also for the
GML output.  I am more familiar with the wms code.  I think you should
adress your propositions/changes to the list.

hi list,

I'm using mapserver 4.8 in a Debian. I have a mapfile that was working 
propertly under windows (ms4w) but now I'm not getting the symbol size 
working. It's allways shown as the default image size.

Here is the layer

LAYER
  NAME obres_punts
  TYPE POINT
  STATUS ON
  SYMBOLSCALE 30000
  TRANSPARENCY 1000
  DATA "/maps/santguim/shp/obres_punts.shp"
  CLASS
    STYLE
      SYMBOL 'obres'
      MAXSIZE 15
      SIZE 5
    END
  END
END

the symbol is correctly defined in the marker file

SYMBOL
    NAME 'obres'
    TYPE PIXMAP
    IMAGE 'obres3.png'
END

Thanks

Subject: Mapserver and Ming compilation
Message-ID: <MON.27.FEB.2006.163957.0100.CANDALTONLINE.NO>

Hi all

I tried to download the binary pacakge that you are working on (http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/assefa and http://www.nabble.com/A-Windows-Build-Tree-for-MapServer-t1084132.html) and now it is working great.

I sucessfully got to compile mapserver with ming support.

One note: when i run mapserv.exe -v i get an error saying that oci.dll is missing. This is probably due to the fact that GDAL was compiled with ORACLE support.

A rebuild of the GDAL library will probably fix this


Regards Sture




Hi There,

  The reason might be that the ming lib was built using a diffrent flag that the ones you are using to build mapserver (possiblity the flag /NODEFAULTLIB:libcd).

  You can rebuild ming using the same flags or use the binary pacakge put available at : 
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/assefa

  Please see e-mail for description of the package : 
http://www.nabble.com/A-Windows-Build-Tree-for-MapServer-t1084132.html

Best Regards,

Subject: Context doc Scale dependency support - CVS or current release??
Message-ID: <MON.27.FEB.2006.105132.0500.DEBBIE.PAGUREKEC.GC.CA>

Hi all,
Can someone confirm if the new Scale dependency support in context docs
is in the current windows build (4.8.1) or if it is only available via
CVS version?

If it is only available in CVS version - is it possible to get a windows
build of this? We'd like to do some testing to make sure the scale
dependency in our context documents is working with our Chameleon
applications, both CWC2 and regular chameleon.

Thanks,
D. Pagurek

Hi,

When I add a class item to my raster layer my 24bit RGB tif is rendered in
greyscale. I need the class item in order to generate a legend item in my
ogc wms capabilities. In the following bugzilla report a similar problem is
flagged as fixed however I am using mapserver 4.5 and 4.8.1 and both
versions have the same bug.

Hi Debbie,

it's just in CVS head (4.9). I haven't tested myself yet, but I do plan 
to test soon.

I think you have to contact DMSG to get a new Windows build for 
PHP/Mapscript.

Best regards,
Bart

You are quite sure this is happening with 4.8.1?  It shouldn't be.  If you
can submit a bug report with the minimum mapfile and data required to
reproduce the problem I will dig into it.

I haven't tested this, but I think I might have an answer for you. I found an old post that indicated that the OVF file that points to a Microsoft Access database should contain
 
<FID>yourUniqueIdColumn</FID> 
 
in order to indicate what the primary key or unique field is.
I'm curious to know if this works, so please reply to me and the list!

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Strange Query Error



	Sorry for the cross-post, but I'm unsure of where this problem may be occurring. I have a mapserver installation running in IIS, on a Windows2000 machine. A little while ago, I upgraded all the components to:

	PHP 5.0.5.5

	Mapserver 4.6

	Mapscript 4.6.1

	Chameleon 2.0

	GDAL 1.3

	I am using OGR to create a virtual layer of points, and then filter this layer using an SLD generated on the fly, based on user input. This all worked perfectly before the upgrade. Everything seems to work fine now, the layers filter properly, and display the way they should. However, if a point is queried, the data returned in the Chameleon query window is for the first record in the recordset returned for the virtual layer, unfiltered, every time; no matter what point is selected.

	I know of one other person experiencing exactly this behavior, and that installation has the latest versions of all software, with the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

	Any help is appreciated,

Subject: direct transfer of text primitives in input file to output?
Message-ID: <MON.27.FEB.2006.150548.0600.REH2PRODIGY.NET>

Hello all,
from my reading of the mapserver source and from a couple of experiments, it
appears that mapserver is not able to open, say, an input source called
ROAD_ANNOTATION.SHP, where the shapes in the file are of type TEXT, and
directly render them into the output image.  I'd be expected instead to
construct a Layer around this with LABELITEM, LABELANGLEITEM, LABELSIZEITEM
set to agreeable attrs from the DBF file (with the most critical being an
attribute containing the actual string value from the shape), LABEL.TYPE =
ANNOTATION, then construct a CLASS and LABEL in the Layer so that my text
would make it to the output anyway.

My issue with this is that I'll be implementing support for a proprietary
vector file format as input that contains text primitives, and I'd like all
of the placement and style parameters to go straight to the output image as
the actual shape, rather than having to duplicate as many as possible of
these params in the Mapfile as Label params.

So my question is, am I missing something obvious, or is Mapserver simply
unwilling to translate text primitives in the input file directly into the
output without engaging the LABEL mechanism?

Thanks,
REH

Robert,

If you populate the shapeObj->text field directly in your reader, it is
likely not necessary to have the LABELITEM to select the text column.
You pretty much need a class to control rendering though.

Another approach might be to implement your support in OGR, and use the
OGR "auto styling" support in MapServer.  This is used with dgn or mapinfo
files to automatically configure and reconfigure a style object from the
source file as each feature is read.

Let me know if you want more details on this approach.

Best regards,

Hi,

I'm using a line layer to draw the streets on the map, but these lines
appear with a "saw" look. How can mapserver draw "straight" lines and
avoid the "saw" look?. I'm using a filled circle symbol to draw the lines.

What do I have to do?.

Subject: WFS layer query in php mapscript
Message-ID: <TUE.28.FEB.2006.021503.0100.FREQUENSGMAIL.COM>

Hi all,

an unresolved story from two months ago...
Mapserver and php-mapscript both 4.8.1

I have a Mapserver WFS provided layer, where a typical feature in the
provided GML looks like this:

<gml:featureMember>
<ms:layerx gml:id="3">
<gml:boundedBy>
<gml:Box srsName="EPSG:2000">
<gml:coordinates>459130.000000,125350.000000
59130.000000,125350.000000</gml:coordinates>
</gml:Box>
</gml:boundedBy>
<ms:msGeometry>
<gml:Point srsName="EPSG:2000">
<gml:coordinates>459130.000000,125350.000000</gml:coordinates>
</gml:Point>
</ms:msGeometry>
<ms:XXX_ID>3</ms:XXX_ID>
</ms:layerx>
</gml:featureMember>

The layer displays fine, I am also able to label it (using the
ms:XXX_ID), but not gml:id (Any idea how to do this?)
The query below runs fine, returns a correct querymap and correct
number of results (single or many).
$queryObj = $map->queryByPoint( $ptClicked, MS_MULTIPLE,-1 );
$resultlayer = $map -> getLayerByName ('xxxx');
$no = $resultlayer -> getNumResults();

Yet I can not get hold on any of the attributes (gml:id nor ms:XXX_ID).
$theresult = $resultlayer ->getResult(0)->{shapeindex}; understandably returns
Notice: Use of undefined constant shapeindex - assumed 'shapeindex' in
/srv/www/htdocs/web/trywfs.php on line 99
and the order number of the feature in the GML.

The template in the map file is a 'dummy' one.

Any idea how to get gml:id or ms:XXX_ID into a variable would be appreciated...

BR

Message-ID: <MON.27.FEB.2006.214924.0600.LTREVINOGPOBSI.COM.MX>

Hi,

I'm using jBox and I'd like to handle de type of cursor that is showed
over the applet area. Depending on the zoom selection from the user I call
a javascript function in order to call the boxon(),boxoff() or dragon()
method and the setcursor(string) method but I get a:
"java:lang.Exception;setCursor{0}:this method does not exists".

I call the setcursor() like:
<script type="text/javascript>
  document.jBox.dragon();
  document.jBox.setcursor('default');
</script>

I've also tried eliminating the quotes, the dragon,boxon and boxoff
methods work OK.

am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

gidday,

I have a mapfile picking up a parameter from the html from a select list, to
choose a value in an Postgis SQL to restrict the returned values. If I zoom,
however, I lose the value. 

Is there any way to pass an html variable to the html template to "remember"
the selected member in the select list (without having to resort to mapscript)?

ie: HTML select returns trip=tan0601

mapfile data statement has:

select the_geom from (select * from stations where trip="%trip%") as myquery
using unique oid using SRID=4326 


This works perfectly, and displays just the selected data but when I zoom, 
the selection is lost. Is there any way I can set up the mapfile & html
template to retain the selected value?


Thanks,

  Brent Wood

Brent,
Yes, it's great!
If memory serves, it's as easy as putting this in the rest of your  
template form:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="trip" VALUE="[trip]">

Only issue is you might want an initialization value at startup,  
which you could pass in as a GET parameter in the page opening link.

The current site we run is at http://melbourne.wireless.org.au - with the

Hi Johan

It is not on me to answer on your feature-request. 

Maybe the following SQL-Statement is helpfull for you. It delivers the
Oracle-Metadata:

select owner,table_name,column_name,d.*
from all_sdo_geom_metadata m,
     table(m.DIMINFO) d

Since the result of this query  is a simple relation (no oracle-objects) 
it
can be used from any Oracle-Interface (xDBC, ADOxxx, ...)

Yes! This can be accomplished with AJAX. Background reading:
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX

Heard of Google maps? It uses AJAX. More importantly, the open source
mapping package ka-map uses AJAX and MapServer:
     http://ka-map.maptools.org/

Here is a tutorial on using ka-map:

Yes, javascript XMLHttpRequest object. But you should find some library
to use for that (with .NET I use Ajax.NET). If you work with mapserver cgi
directly, response should return values you have in template file (which
doesn't have to be a complete HTML file, but only have values you want in
the []. Then you use this values in your javascript file, to set src
properties of main image and reference map, and all other relevant values
you want).

You could process the form request in an hidden frame (instead of the
main page) and, with Javascript, substitute the source of the various
images (map, reference, legend, scalebar) and update the variables used
in the form (e.g.: imgext, mapxy, selected layers, and so on).

Hi all,

In Mapserver applications, is there anyway of stopped
the page being refreshed every time a request is made
to the server? I have heard of using XML HTTP Request
Object?

Hi luca ,
  
We have developed a web-mapping application . Our mapping application uses Mapserver , Php/Mapscript as the scripitng language and MySql as the database.And this application accepts user clicks and allows the user to edit the map : adding points, etc.
Now for this map , we require a base map - which is a raster layer .
We have tried editing the mapfile as follows:

LAYER
NAME "base"
TYPE raster
DATA "india.tif"
END

But this is of no help. The tiff file resides in the shapefiles directory .There is no world file for this tiff file. Do we have to create one on our own ? How is it possible to create a world file out of a plain image. 
We want to include this raster image as our base map. Is this the right way or is there any other way?

Could someone please help us.
Thanks
Apeksha

shapefile of the boundary of the State of Tennessee and expand the polygon
.5 degrees in all directions.  Anyone know of such a tool?

Chip,

An easy way for doing this is to store your polygons in PostGis - use
shp2psql - (now packaged with PostGreSQL), and use the buffer function in
PostGis. You may then use PostGis instead of shapefiles or export it into
shapefile again with pgsql2shp.

Another one is to use the various version of Java Topolgy Suite, GEOS in
C++, NetTopologySuite in C#.

Chip,

Hmmm, I wonder if MapServer could do it with a projection setting.  I 
have no idea what the projection would be, but the hard part would be 
picking a base point automatically for each center of every polygon, 
possibly a Centroid.  Don't know if this is possible.

Just a thought.   If you were trying to build a popout button for each 
state for example, you could use a sherical projection and make every 
state look like it's popping out from the center of the screen.  Hmmm, 
I'll have to look at that sometime.

I do know that I could write something in AutoCAD Map to do this.  You 
would end up with either a lot of overlapping Polygons in a single SHP 
file, or a seperate SHP file for each State with the new Polygon in it.

Hi list,

I am trying to use a WMC document generated by Ionic in Mapserver, but
cannot get it to work (no layers in map object). The Ionic context
validates in Oxygen.

First problem, Ionic does not use a XML header for the context, so
Mapserver comes back with:

PHP Warning:  [MapServer Error]: msLoadMapContext(): Invalid XML file
(/data/geoservices/apps/geoservices/htdocs/ionic.cml)
 in /data/geoservices/apps/geoservices/htdocs/wmc_ionic.php on line 5

So I added the XML header by hand. Then the following problem occurs:

PHP Warning:  [MapServer Error]: msLoadMapContext(): Unable to set units
for projection ''

Could it be that the Mapserver code assumes a 5 letter SRS EPSG code? If I
use e.g. 28992 it runs fine.

sprintf(pszProj, "init=epsg:%s", pszValue+5);

I have seen a few other potential problems in the Mapserver code:

1) the parsing code for queryable etc. assumes to get a 0 or 1, whereas
true or false are also valid values for xs:boolean

2) when outputting a WMC, Mapserver uses WMS for the value of the service
attribute of Server, whereas the OGC example (on schemas.opengis.net) as
well as Ionic use OGC:WMS

<Server service="OGC:WMS"

I have attached the context if somebody is interested to try this out.

Best regards,
Bart

Yes, you need a world file to display your raster tif. Just create it with a 
text editor and put it in the same directory as your tif. Have a look at the 
doc :

Chip, 

I'm not sure about buffering by degrees but that could just depend on the 
projection. Mapscript does have GEOS buffering built-in now so you could 
open the shapefile and loop through each polygon performing a buffer on each 
then write each back out into a new shapefile. Because shapefiles are more 
like areas than polygons there shouldn't be any problem with the resulting 
shapes overlapping in the new shapefile.

Debbie,

it depends on your Mapserver version, there was a bug that not more than 
2 conditions could be nested with And or Or. 4.8.1 should have that 
fixed for sure.

See this for more details:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1277

Btw officially it is Or and not OR, and even more officially it should 
be ogc:Or

Best regards,
Bart

I think It was just forgotten. I have added a bug on this 1689. I will 
be adding it later today.

Message-ID: <TUE.28.FEB.2006.062315.0800.B.VDEIJNDENAGI.RWS.MINVENW.NL>

Hi list,

I am trying to use a WMC document generated by Ionic in Mapserver, but
cannot get it to work (no layers in map object). The Ionic context validates
in Oxygen.

First problem, Ionic does not use a XML header for the context, so Mapserver
comes back with:

PHP Warning:  [MapServer Error]: msLoadMapContext(): Invalid XML file
(/data/geoservices/apps/geoservices/htdocs/ionic.cml)
 in /data/geoservices/apps/geoservices/htdocs/wmc_ionic.php on line 5

So I added the XML header by hand. Then the following problem occurs:

PHP Warning:  [MapServer Error]: msLoadMapContext(): Unable to set units for
projection ''

Could it be that the Mapserver code assumes a 5 letter SRS EPSG code? If I
use e.g. 28992 it runs fine.

sprintf(pszProj, "init=epsg:%s", pszValue+5);

I have seen a few other potential problems in the Mapserver code:

1) the parsing code for queryable etc. assumes to get a 0 or 1, whereas true
or false are also valid values for xs:boolean

2) when outputting a WMC, Mapserver uses WMS for the value of the service
attribute of Server, whereas the OGC example (on schemas.opengis.net) as
well as Ionic use OGC:WMS

<Server service="OGC:WMS"

I have attached the context if somebody is interested to try this out.

Best regards,
Bart

Subject: need urgent help with the Legend Template
Message-ID: <TUE.28.FEB.2006.115512.0800.ISHRARHYAHOO.COM>

Hello everyone,

I need some particular layer-groups of my map file to
stop appearing in the legend. I only show the
layer-groups in my legend with a template as follows:

[leg_group_html Opt_Flag=15]
<tr>
  <td align="center"><input type="checkbox"
name="layer_status[]" value="[leg_group_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 height=10 width=20]"
height=10 width=20></td>
  <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">[leg_group_name]</font></td>
</tr>
[/leg_group_html]


Now, I do not want to give the user to ability to turn
off the visibility of a few layer-groups, specially
the ones that defines the main map. I do not want to
change the structure of my map file either (i.e.
putting some layers without any group). I tried
disabling the checkboxes by changing the code as
follows:

[leg_group_html Opt_Flag=15]
<tr>
  <td align="center"><input type="checkbox"
name="layer_status[]" value="[leg_group_name]" [if
name=layer_status oper=eq  value=1]CHECKED[/if][if
name=layer_status oper=eq value=2]CHECKED[/if] [if
name=layer_group oper=eq
value="Map"]DISABLED[/if]></td>
  <td><img src="[leg_icon height=10 width=20]"
height=10 width=20></td>
  <td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">[leg_group_name]</font></td>
</tr>
[/leg_group_html]


But, it did not work, since "[if name=layer_group
...]" works only in context of "leg_layer_html", which
I do not use.

Can anyone please help me by showing how to stop some
particular layer-groups from appearing in the legend
by using some kind of conditions in "leg_group_html"
tag ?

Looking forward to your early response.

Regards,
Ishrar

Hi Bart,

Could you please file a bug and Julien will have a look and provide more 
precise answers?

Quick comments about the issues that you raised:

About the EPSG code not being recognized, we've used 4326 before and I 
don't thing the pszValue+5 implies that the EPSG code needs to be 5 
digits, I think it's there to skip the "EPSG:" prefix. It has to be 
something else, we'll need to check further with this

About #1: you're right that this is missing

About #2: MapServer 4.9 should spit out "OGC:WMS" for v1.1.0 contexts, 
and "WMS" for 1.0.0 ... I didn't double-check the specs, but I think 
this is the correct behavior.

Subject: Strange (OVF) Query Error
Message-ID: <TUE.28.FEB.2006.123617.0800.TIMCOMMENSPACE.ORG>

I've noticed similarly strange behavior when running a query on inline OVF data (also with PHP mapscript - details below).  My virtual layer reads from a table with a multi-column primary key in a MySQL database.  I get three types of funky behavior with this:

1) If I don't specify an <FID> in my inline OVF, querying works as expeced until I call $layer->close() - Apache reports "premature end of script headers" only when I try to close the queried layer.

2) If I change my primary key to an auto-numbered field and set <FID>id<FID> (where id is my auto-numbered field), I get "Unable to identify field 'id'".

3) If I set <FID>some_other_field</FID> then everything works as expected - even if the values in some_other_field are not unique.

Any ideas?
Tim

	Tim,
	I haven't tested this, but I think I might have an answer for you. I found an old post that indicated that the OVF file that points to a Microsoft Access database should contain
	 
	<FID>yourUniqueIdColumn</FID> 
	 
	in order to indicate what the primary key or unique field is.
	I'm curious to know if this works, so please reply to me and the list!

		Sorry for the cross-post, but I'm unsure of where this problem may be occurring. I have a mapserver installation running in IIS, on a Windows2000 machine. A little while ago, I upgraded all the components to:

		PHP 5.0.5.5

		Mapserver 4.6

		Mapscript 4.6.1

		Chameleon 2.0

		GDAL 1.3

		I am using OGR to create a virtual layer of points, and then filter this layer using an SLD generated on the fly, based on user input. This all worked perfectly before the upgrade. Everything seems to work fine now, the layers filter properly, and display the way they should. However, if a point is queried, the data returned in the Chameleon query window is for the first record in the recordset returned for the virtual layer, unfiltered, every time; no matter what point is selected.

		I know of one other person experiencing exactly this behavior, and that installation has the latest versions of all software, with the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

		Any help is appreciated,

Subject: Old State/New State - mapscript/chameleon
Message-ID: <TUE.28.FEB.2006.143233.0600.KLAWSTEVEYAHOO.COM>

Apologies in advance if this is a previously answered question, I am trying
to make my way through the documents and list archives but haven't hit on a
solution.

I am trying work on an page display using a combination of PHP mapscript and
chameleon.  I am working with modifications of the source chameleon
index.phtml and template.html pages.  I would like to display some map state
variables on my page. (example - mapextent values).

Dropping a chameleon extent widget onto the template works fine.  I can also
modify the chameleon index.phtml to get for me the extent->minx et al
variables and pass them to the template using the setVar ('MINX',$my_minx)
type syntax and then referencing them in the template using [$MINX$].  So I
think I have an idea of the syntax I should be working with.

My problem then, is that these values when displayed on the resultant web
page they are displaying the previous state of the map extent, not the
current one.  So I know that my problem roots from my failure to understand
when/how/where the map state variables are changed, and how to access
current values.

Any insights shall be appreciated.
Much thanks,
-steve

$oApp =  new SampleApp();
$oApp->registerSkin( 'skins/sample' );
$oApp->CWCInitialize( $szTemplate, $szMapFile  );
// get the extent variables and round them to two digits.
$my_minx = round($oApp->moMapSession->oMap->extent->minx,2);
$oApp->setVar ('XMIN',$my_minx);
$oApp->CWCExecute();

John,

As far as I know precompiled binaries targeting the .NET framework 2.0 is
not avaiable to download. However I suggest to compile one from the source.
It is highly recommended to compile mapserver and mapscript with the same
compiler version VS2005 in this case. You should enable only the options
will be actually used in order to minimize the dependency from high number
of libraries.

Both of the current stable release (4.8.1) and the CVS version is known
compilable
with VS2005 with the following notes:

1. Pre download and compile all of subsequent libraries to be used along
with mapserver according to
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/win32_compiling
2. edit nmake.opt to enable the libraries
3. Heck regex according to
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1651
4. To compile mapserver use Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt issue
nmake -f makefile.vc in the mapserver directory.
5. To compile mapscript C# download swigwin-1.3.28 edit makefile.vc in the
mapscript/csharp directory and give your swigwin path
6. To eliminate high number of warnings you should define
_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE and _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE like this:

OPTFLAGS = /nologo /MD /Zi /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
/D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE $(WARNING_LEVEL) $(DEBUG)

7. If you are not using the CVS version modify owsrequest.i according to
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1677

8. Use nmake -f makefile.vc in the mapscript/csharp directory

To test your compilation:

1. Create a new VS project
2. Add reference to mapscript_csharp.dll
3. Add reference to Microsoft Visual
Studio8\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC80.CRT\Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
4. Use mapscript objects within your code
5. Compile your solution
6. Copy the compiled mapscript.dll, libmap.dll and the dependent dll-s into
your app directory.
7. Run

If your are not using the IDE (eg. to try the samples like drawmap.exe) you
should create a proper manifest file along with your .exe declaring a
reference to the CRT assemblies, otherwise the program will not run.

I hope not to forget anything.


If it is required precompiled binaries could be created for download, but
one should define the possible reasonable variations of the required library
usage.

Best Regards,

Tamas Szekeres

Tim,

Can you reproduce this problem in a more controlled circumstance?  Perhaps
with ogrinfo?  Something I could easily reproduce?

There was a problem at one time a problem with OGR virtual layers
crashing on close but that should have been fixed in GDAL 1.3.1.
Is there any chance you are using something old like 1.2.6?

> 2) If I change my primary key to an auto-numbered field and set <FID>id<FID> (where id is my auto-numbered field), I get "Unable to identify field 'id'".

This is not expected.  If I could reproduce it I would look into fixing it.

> 3) If I set <FID>some_other_field</FID> then everything works as expected - even if the values in some_other_field are not unique.

Hmm, I would have expected you would get the wrong query results back
sometimes.

Am unable to render a map with a POSTGIS layer.

Archive and g**gle searches come up almost empty on this one.

Architecture:  ms4w/Apache 2.0.54/PHP4.3.11/mapserv4.6

Layer exists, can be queried spatially and non-spatially outside of
mapserver, and can be displayed in QuantumGIS.  So I believe the data is fine.

Map file snippet looks like this:

LAYER

 CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
 CONNECTION "dbname=world user=postgres password=XXXXX server=localhost
port=5432"
 DATA "geom from public.cntry2"
 DEBUG TRUE

(or I can provide user=nobody)

Apache error log looks like this:

Found a suggestion to manipulate POSTGRESQL's pg_hba.conf configuration file
to replace authorization 'md5' with 'trust' for all users on the localhost.
 However when doing so, either a)all connections to the postmaster fail; or
b) problem continues.

Have set the postgresql.conf listen_address variable = '*' as suggested to
allow connections from all hosts.

Thank you for any insights

You can also do something like is done on this site:

  http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/landview.html 

The coordinates are managed entirely on the client using javascript. Only the 
images are ever swapped. In this example the legend is swapped using AJAX
each time the map changes (to deal with layers/scaling). We're getting away
from that though using XML extracted via a mapfile and hooking that together
with the Yahoo developer tools (tree/task/folder view). I hope to have a
something that sits atop the Yahoo libs along with a bit of custom stuff 
very soon (call it dBox2)...

Combine this or something like ka-map with a bit of AJAX and you can do a
lot without ever refreshing the page.

Hi all,

In Mapserver applications, is there anyway of stopped
the page being refreshed every time a request is made
to the server? I have heard of using XML HTTP Request
Object?

Message-ID: <TUE.28.FEB.2006.201753.0500.MILLER_JOSEPHBAH.COM>

Hey All,
I was wondering if it was possible to run a cgi query that returns a
flash format result.  I've used the flash mapserver tutorial on the site
to create a functioning flash website. I can use an itemquery to return
the extent of the feature of interest, but I can't figure out a way to
have mapserver return a swf that is zoomed into the result with either
the other features turned off or highlighted (querymap style hilite or
selected).  Right now as a workaround I am capturing the bounding box
extent and then redirecting my page so I can use browse mode, but this
doesn't either highlight or mask my layer.  Am I missing something or
will this be supported in a future release?

Thanks,
Joe Miller

Hi all,
           I am new to this group and have just started experimenting with
the features Mapserver provides, with an installation of ms4w and maplab. I
have read through the archives and have seen software on freegis.org among
other sites. I am a total newbie when  it comes to GIS and there is a whole
lot of talk about layers and vectors and what not ! I basically need a map
server that would serve me a map with a location point (say marked with 'X')
when I input a Geo / civic address. I would like to know what image formats
support this detail. I cannot use something like Google Map API for the
level of detail is insufficient for my needs and I don't host the Map in the
first place. Kindly let me know the image formats that I should use for the
maps so that when I query the database of maps with a Geo/civic address, I
will have a map open up with the location marked with 'X'.

I am truly grateful to the various open source communities that have helped
each other in building a wonderful variety of tools for GIS/Mapping. Looking
forward to hearing from you. Thanking you in advance.

Thanks

The Sun Fire T2000 is a Sun's new UltraSPARC-based server
(http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/t2000/), not based on
Athlon 64. Sun is really trying to promote this server as it
is rather innovative (http://www.sun.com/emrkt/trycoolthreads/index.html).
What makes it innovative is the low-power UltraSPARC T1 processor
(http://www.sun.com/processors/UltraSPARC-T1/) which has 8 cores
each of which supports 4 threads (i.e., up to 32 simultaneous threads).
The downside of this processor is that it is is weak in supporting
floating point operations, the chip only has a single FPU shared by
all of the processors.

If you have applications that are highly threaded (e.g. a web server
or Java applications), they should really fly on this server. However,
it is not clear from what I have read that there is any big advantage
of this server for applications that are not multi-threaded, even with
it's multi-core processor.

Some initial reviews of the T2000 have been published:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2657
http://www.networkcomputing.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=175803241
http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2005/121905-sun-fire-test.html?page=2

(I am hoping to see one of these servers at work soon on loan from Sun
for some benchmarking ..., mainly for java, ldap, and web server tests.)

While I haven't yet compiled Mapserver under Solaris 10 yet, this OS is
highly backward compatible with Solaris 8/9 (which MapServer works
on) binaries. However, I suspect that for best best performance on the T2000,
one might want to recompile everything using Sun's free Studio 11 C compiler.
I too would be very curious to see how well this server works with
Mapserver and related applications such as PostGIS under various scenarios
(e.g. with Studio 11 versus GNU C, types of application load, etc.).

Hi, 

Could someone please point me in the right direction !

I am trying to use MapServer (version 4.6.1) with Oracle 10.2 and SDE 9.1 - 
but am not sure if i need to recompile with some additional code to support 
Oracle and SDE ?!

I've just been to "Hobu's kitchen sink MapServer 4.6" binaries page and seen 
that there isn't anything about Oracle 10.2 or SDE 9.1 ... does this mean i 
cannot use MapServer with these versions of Oracle and SDE ?

Many thanks, 
Steve

Subject: Problem with Legend Template (URGENT)
Message-ID: <TUE.28.FEB.2006.212805.0800.ISHRARHYAHOO.COM>

I am having problem using the legend template.

I have all my layers distrubuted in some groups in my
map file. And I only want the group names to appear in
the legend. Therefore, I am using the following legend
template:

[leg_group_html opt_flag=7]
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFCC"
onMouseOver="this.bgColor='lightgreen';"
onMouseOut="this.bgColor='#FFFFCC';">
  <td align="center"><input type="checkbox"
name="layer_status[]" value="[leg_group_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 height=10 width=20]"
height=10 width=20></td>
  <td>[leg_group_name]</td>
</tr>
[/leg_group_html]

Now, the problem is, when I use this, one group
containing only one annotation layer also appear in
the legend, which I do not want. I set opt_flag=7, but
it still shows the same thing.

Can anyone of you please help?

I also need some specific layer-groups to stop
appearing in the legend. Can any of you tell me how
this can be done, that is, what conditional tags
should I put?

Thank you.

As said on the other reply, this isn't an Athlon machine. I will only have
it for 60 days - so I'm looking at getting some things up and running ASAP
when it arrives.

At the moment, I know very little about mapserver (I do the sysadmin on
the wireless.org.au server - not the map coding) however I could put
people in here with the people that do the coding for the site to see if
they can enhance the map database that we currently have to try to bog
down this Sun machine.

My aim is to throw as much as I can at it to see if I can make it slow.
Then review it based on this.

I personally know very little about GEOS and PostGIS - but I've joined
this list to try to learn a little more about what I'm dealing with.

This is not an error, only a debug statement saying that the
connection pool has not a connection already available and that a new
one needs to be opened.

This should not be an error too.

I conclude it should be a problem with the postgis data? How did you
load it in postgres?

Hi Daniel,

the EPSG problem has resolved itself, I only had the problem when running
php in a shell, not running on the webserver, so it probably had something
to do with PROJ_LIB.

Wrt to OGC:WMS versus WMS, all the examples in the 1.0 spec use OGC:WMS
instead of WMS, see:
http://www.opengeospatial.org/docs/03-036r2.pdf

I have opened up the following bugs:

1) cannot open WMC which misses an XML header:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1691

2) context code does not support true/false for xs:boolean
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1692

3) context 1.0 write code uses WMS instead of OGC:WMS
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1693

Best regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,

Could you please file a bug and Julien will have a look and provide more 
precise answers?

Quick comments about the issues that you raised:

About the EPSG code not being recognized, we've used 4326 before and I 
don't thing the pszValue+5 implies that the EPSG code needs to be 5 
digits, I think it's there to skip the "EPSG:" prefix. It has to be 
something else, we'll need to check further with this

About #1: you're right that this is missing

About #2: MapServer 4.9 should spit out "OGC:WMS" for v1.1.0 contexts, 
and "WMS" for 1.0.0 ... I didn't double-check the specs, but I think 
this is the correct behavior.

Daniel
