Greetings!
 
I'm try the SLD on ms4w 4.10 now, and got a problem.
 
I've put 2 <FeatureTypeStyle> blocks in a userstyle:
 
 <NamedLayer>
  <Name>test</Name>
  <UserStyle>
   <FeatureTypeStyle>
    <Rule>
     <LineSymbolizer>
      <Stroke>
       <CssParameter name="stroke">#666666</CssParameter>
       <CssParameter name="stroke-width">7</CssParameter>
      </Stroke>
     </LineSymbolizer>
    </Rule>
   </FeatureTypeStyle>
   <FeatureTypeStyle>
    <Rule>
     <LineSymbolizer>
      <Stroke>
       <CssParameter name="stroke">#FFFFFF</CssParameter>
       <CssParameter name="stroke-width">4</CssParameter>
      </Stroke>
     </LineSymbolizer>
    </Rule>
   </FeatureTypeStyle>
  </UserStyle>
 </NamedLayer>
</StyledLayerDescriptor>
 
But it seems that MapServer only draws the second FeatureTypeStyle only.
 
Why's that?

Hi All,

I am trying to place my query results over the map image in a print
template and for the most part this works great, except with IE.  IE by
default doesn't print table backgrounds, is there any way I can convert
the table into an image?

I am running MapServer 4.6 on an Ubuntu 6.06LTS Server, and PHP 5.

Cheers Ian

Subject: reference map problem
Message-ID: <SUN.1.APR.2007.210353.0700.FREZZZ_54YAHOO.COM>

Hi,
I have a question about reference map. I've searched the archive and found one from Ian Tidy. It works well, but I'd like to have the box smaller. I tried to change the divisor value to a bigger value, so that the box hopefully will get smaller.

  $mapext_x = ($map->extent->maxx - $map->extent->minx) / 2;
  $mapext_y = ($map->extent->maxy - $map->extent->miny) / 2;

And it kinds of strange because it is only smaller when I click on the four corner of  my reference map. When I click on the middle left/right/up/bottom, it gets bigger as if I don't change the divisor value. What I want to have is actually a box that can adapt, smaller or bigger, to the zoom state.

Plus, another question. I have set my main map and reference map in the same extent coordinates and units. I've checked the right coordinates using ogrinfo. I also make sure that both width and height are equal. But the box is missing one side at the bottom. Well, i can handle it by changing the reference map extent. I'd like to have some explanations on this. Maybe i miss a point or two.

Thank you.

Why not use 2 rules inside of the same FeatureTypeStyle? That should work.

Subject: Hatching a polygon
Message-ID: <MON.2.APR.2007.071450.0400.WATRYSTEAM.COAPS.FSU.EDU>

I know how to hatch a polygon,
but what I want to do is
1. if I create a polygon fill using

in the symbol.sym file

# Cross Hatch
  SYMBOL
    NAME "hatch"
    TYPE HATCH
  END

and in the mapfile

     STYLE
         SYMBOL 'hatch'
         COLOR 255 0 0
         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
       ANGLE 45
         SIZE 10
         WIDTH 3
      END

How do I make the hatch so I can see the layer underneath the polygon 
instead of the white color between the hatch lines??

2 Is it possible to make a polygon fill semi-transparent so you can see 
the layer underneath the polygon through the fill??

Try setting the color or outlinecolor to -1 -1 -1 and see whether that
does what you wanted.

Nope. The transparency parameter in the LAYER object is the closest thing
that exists. Note that the name is a bit of a misnomer, since it sets the
*opacity* and not the *transparency* of the layer.

The method I've used is to have 2 polygon layers for the hatched 
polygon.  The first created is the hatched or filled poly.  Then, 
another, image, layer is written.  Finally, I redisplay the polygon 
*outline* (with no fill) over the image.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gary,

I noticed with hatching (and other polygon fills) that you have to
specify:

TRANSPARENCY 100 # this means fully opaque

If you don't, you will get a white fill underneath your hatch. It
doesn't make sense (maybe I missed something), but at least it's easy to
get around.

Hope this helps,

Jacob

Roland / Daniel,

Sorry for adding to this a bit late.
The STYLEITEM AUTO isn't what crashes in the tileindex. The problem is
that the OGR Tileindex itself doesn't work properly in php_mapscript
(which is what I believe Roland uses, if I recall correctly).
I lodged a bug for this a while ago:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1700

OGR Tileindex works fine in the CGI, but not in php_mapscript (since at
least version 4.4).

Regards,

Jacob

Why don't you just add all the layers into the map and use zoom layering to
decide which layer the user sees based on the current extent?

Hi Daniel,
thanks for your hint, but it had no effect on my results. I think the
TRANSPARENCY ALPHA is useful to create transparent 24 bit images, but I
can?t image that it has any relevance with this specific problem when images
are rotated. Again, the transparency works fine when symbols are not
rotated, so the problem must be somewhere else.

I have a mapfile.

I use shp2img, to generate a GIF.

On the GIF, the areas not covered by my polygons are colored the light
blue that I want.  But the areas that are covered by my polygons aren't
white, they're a blue-and-white check. 

For the life of me, I can't see what might be causing this.

Hi

Who would I contact if I was possibly considering funding some development
work on MapServer?  I'm looking possibly at what is below re multi item
selecting and also another thing where we need negative tolerance when
querying so that we can perform queries where 'touching' polygons (i.e. a
single face) won't be returned from a query?

Feedback appreciated.

Cheers

To: MAPSERVER USERS <MAPSERVER-USERS at lists.umn.edu>

Hi all

In essence this is what I'm trying to achieve but I'm trying to work out the
best way of doing it - I want to use the CGI as it is powerful, very stable
and extremley fast.  I've had great success with MapServer before where it
can perform queries against tens of layers in under 2 seconds when having
one feature to select against.

Here is the problem...

I want a user to be able to interactively from multiple clicks on a map to
select features and then they can issue a query taking all selected features
and doing feature intersect queries against multiple other layers.  Pretty
simple!

I'm fine with writing wrapper code to allow the user to select a feature at
a point - MODE=QUERY - and then find and store the feature id's for
subsequent calls to the CGI

Is there a way to be able to pass multiple feature id's to MapServer to
highlight as selected in a maps?  Then in the same fashion can I pass
multiple feature id's (acting as the selection again) to then be used in a
NQUERY to find which features from other layers intersect.

Should I be looking at using a QUERYFILE?  Is this possible - I'm sure it is
as everything else I've wanted to do the CGI seems to be able to do it!

Thanks in advance
Mike

Subject: Changing Style of Symbols on the fly
Message-ID: <TUE.3.APR.2007.184512.0500.MARCELITO20GMAIL.COM>

Hi guys,

I am requesting any help changing the style of symbols in a dynamic layer.
Im using MapScript on Csharp, heres a sample of my test code. Im trying that
even points uses one style and odd ones uses another. Mapserver presents all
points with just one of the styles... Is there any other way how I can do
what I'm trying??

                    foreach (pointObj point in RealPathPoints)
                    {

In your point.draw call, use the ClassIndex parameter.  Set it to a 
different value (not 0) for each type of symbol you need, and define 
different plot styles appropriately within your LAYER definition in 
your .MAP file.

You could do an asynchronous call to mapserv for each click and get
the each feature ID back, and store it in a JavaScrit array.

Yes, with mode=itemnquery

If I was doing it, and if I could use postgis, I would pass the
parameters to a php page, run the query in postgis, get the feature
IDs back, and then do another itemnquery with mapserv to graphically
render it. This would not require mapscript, but would require php or
some other server-side language that can connect to postgis.

Subject: php/mapscript and client-side imagemaps
Message-ID: <TUE.3.APR.2007.221418.0500.>

Hi,

I'm trying to get generate a client side imagemap (the <map>...</map>) coordinates and inserting the text using just php/mapscript (avoiding using the templating methods found at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/imagemaps because I want as pure a php solution as i can get).  I found the wiki entry for this (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ImageMap), and followed its instructions.  In particular, the following lines did not generate what I thought:

$imgmap = ms_newMapObj( "C:\\ms4w\\Apache\\htdocs\\postgis\\imgmap.map" );
$imgmapimg = $imgmap->draw();
$imgmapurl = $imgmapimg->saveWebImage(MS_IMAGEMAP,1,1,0);

I couldn't find documentation on saveWebImage, but I thought it would generate the text i would need to include in a <map> section for my webpage.  Instead, what was generated was a .png file.  Should this be usable as an image map, or did I get this in error (the page rendered just fine).

Can someone help me fix this?  Ultimately, I am looking to emulate the great ease from the templating solution, but just in php.  I am rendering the counties of MN as polygons and would like to request a different URL based on which county is clicked.  Anyone have a solution/hints along this direction?

Thanks,
Matt

Subject: [PHPMapScript] Pb to set the angle property of a LabelObj
Message-ID: <WED.4.APR.2007.180052.0200.LMGEOSPHERE.FR>

Hi all,
 
I have some troubles with the current version of PHPMapScript. My problem is very simple : I would like to set the "ANGLE" property of a LabelObj with the value "FOLLOW". I have searched a way to do a such thing but it was unsuccessful. The only thing I have found is how to set this property with the value "AUTO" (with the following code : $oLabel->set("autoangle", MS_AUTO); ).
 
For information, I use the latest version of MapServer and PHPMapScript.
 
Any information in this regard will be really appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
 
Lo?c

Um, it seems that the MS_FOLLOW constant is missing in PHP MapScript.

I have filed a bug about this and added the constant in both the dev 
version (future 5.0) and in the 4.10 branch (will be in 4.10.2):
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2058

As a workaround until you can upgrade, you should be able to use the 
following:

$oLabel->set("autoangle", MS_AUTO+2);

The PHP MapScript saveWebImage doc is at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/phpmapscript-class/classes/imageobj

The Wiki page that you were looking at needs comes from the old/frozen 
wiki so it's out of date and will never be updated. The saveWebImage 
method doesn't take any arguments any more. Instead, you have to pick 
your output format using selectOutputFormat() before the draw() call.

Something like this might work:

$imgmap = ms_newMapObj( "C:\\ms4w\\Apache\\htdocs\\postgis\\imgmap.map" );

$imgmap->selectOutputFormat("imagemap");
$imgmapimg = $imgmap->draw();
$imgmapurl = $imgmapimg->saveWebImage();

Hi All,

I've tried again, and got closer... Below are the PHP code and the
mapfile code, along with the output.  I'm rendering MN counties, so I
want to output 87 polygons worth of image coordinates defining the
counties.  I know that, as opposed to the html template approach, that I
haven't defined any way via PHP to specify the coords (like using the
[shpXY ...] parts of the html template).  Can anyone help me add code to
output a line with the correct coordinates (one record per query result)
to process each polygon imagemap output and output customized lines into
the <map> file?  That would be code similar to the template example on
the mapserver website that substitutes values into the template for
[...] once for each query result and appends to the output like in the
following:

<area shape="poly" coords="[shpxy precision=0 proj=image]"
href="http://my.url/mypage.cfm?ID=[SITE_ID]" title="[NAME]"
alt="[NAME]">

(this template example is at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/imagemaps).

Tia,
Matt

Dear folks,

I am testing MapServer, ArcIMS, ArcGIS Server.   When I tried to search "Tile Caching", I found another Open Source GIS--  SharpMap.


Does any one compared the difference, like advantage/disadvantage between these two?  or can you point to articles about the comparison?   

Thanks for your hint.

SharpMap runs only on Windows and requires knowledge of .NET.
MapServer runs on Windows as well as any/all Unix and Unix-like
operating systems and works with a variety of languages.

Hi   Mike Saunt and/or  Howard,

I found out the post and knew that Mike had already done a great job making
FastCGI + IIS + SDE works.   

Do we have already had a documented procedure to set up  FastCGI + IIS? 

I did not find it from the web site.   Could you pass me a copy of document
if there is one already?  I am now frustrating reading document here and
there to see how to make them works together

Message-ID: <THU.5.APR.2007.085944.0800.CHEUNG.JACKEYGMAIL.COM>

Greetings!

I'm try the SLD on ms4w 4.10 now, and got a problem.

I've put 2 <FeatureTypeStyle> blocks in a userstyle:

<NamedLayer>
 <Name>test</Name>
 <UserStyle>
  <FeatureTypeStyle>
   <Rule>
    <LineSymbolizer>
     <Stroke>
      <CssParameter name="stroke">#666666</CssParameter>
      <CssParameter name="stroke-width">7</CssParameter>
     </Stroke>
    </LineSymbolizer>
   </Rule>
  </FeatureTypeStyle>
  <FeatureTypeStyle>
   <Rule>
    <LineSymbolizer>
     <Stroke>
      <CssParameter name="stroke">#FFFFFF</CssParameter>
      <CssParameter name="stroke-width">4</CssParameter>
     </Stroke>
    </LineSymbolizer>
   </Rule>
  </FeatureTypeStyle>
 </UserStyle>
</NamedLayer>
</StyledLayerDescriptor>

But it seems that MapServer only draws the second FeatureTypeStyle only.

Why's that?

Hi There,

  Looking at your sld, It seems that  your intention to do some kind of 
casing style (one class with 2 styles in mapserver sense) ?  If that is 
the case, you should use only one rule with 2 LineSymbolizers. Something 
like this would work :

<NamedLayer>
<Name>test</Name>
<UserStyle>
  <FeatureTypeStyle>
   <Rule>
    <LineSymbolizer>
     <Stroke>
      <CssParameter name="stroke">#666666</CssParameter>
      <CssParameter name="stroke-width">7</CssParameter>
     </Stroke>
    </LineSymbolizer>
    <LineSymbolizer>
     <Stroke>
      <CssParameter name="stroke">#FFFFFF</CssParameter>
      <CssParameter name="stroke-width">4</CssParameter>
     </Stroke>
    </LineSymbolizer>
   </Rule>
  </FeatureTypeStyle>
  </UserStyle>
</NamedLayer>
</StyledLayerDescriptor>

  If not could you explain what your intention is with this sld.  Note 
that in the sld you sent, each rule is translated into a class element 
so you end up with 2 classes (none of which contains an expression) and 
mapserver renders the features using the first class.

Later,

Hi,
due to the fact that Mapserver is not able to place rotated symbols with transparency, I?ve tried to create different workarounds but still run into problems there.
My idea was to create and rotate the transparent symbols dynamically for every map request with MagickWand (php API for image magick) and save them on the local filesystem. This works fine so far.

Now I thought I could dynamically create new symbols with php Mapscript for all the images I?ve created, but the php API doesn?t show any possibility to set the transparency index. The members and functions of symbol objects are a lot less in the php API than in the language-agnostic API. Does anybody know the reason for that?

The second workaround I thought about was to place the image symbols on the map using the pasteImage() function from the image class to paste the images manually on the map image. The problem is that the php API does not support the creation of new image objects using a file on the system like it is described here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/mapscript_imagery/#creating-a-new-imageobj

Thanks for any hints
Peter

Dear All,

I've posted a 	question two weeks ago, but I haven't received any
response. So, I'll try to explain better my situation.
I've "converted" a DWG file in several SHP file. Every layer of the
DWG is "well formed": this means that every layer have only one type
of entity (points, lines, ...). I've created a tool for this type of
convertions.
My problem is to assign pattern and color to the shape files.
I've thinked to insert informations about color and pattern in the DBF
associated to every SHP files: is possibile to force Mapserver
(through Mapfile) to read informations about color and patterns from
DBF file?

Thanks in advance

GS

Sun,

 

We use Mapserver and SharpMap. My first attraction to SharpMap was that it
was a .NET solution, but as Mapscript_csharp has come along, I have used
SharpMap less and less. Also, SharpMap is a much less mature project than
Mapserver so you have a lot less documentation, fewer users (meaning less
forum / listserv activity), and there are a lot of things left "to do" in
SharpMap.   

 

One of the main differences in USE of SharpMap is that it doesn't use a
Mapfile (.map or .axl) the entire map configuration is done in code.

 

Depending on the complexity of your application (e.g. number of and types of
layers, desired functionality) SharpMap could work or even be the better
solution, but in general I would say Mapserver and ArcIMS / ArcGIS Server
are much more robust products today.

 

Hope that helps,

 

David Lowther

Dear folks,

I am testing MapServer, ArcIMS, ArcGIS Server.   When I tried to search
"Tile Caching", I found another Open Source GIS--  SharpMap.


Does any one compared the difference, like advantage/disadvantage between
these two?  or can you point to articles about the comparison?  

Thanks for your hint.

Hi Giacomo,

Directly, for the moment I think no.
Take
a look to?
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer/?searchterm=styleitem
you can find the layer's property STYLEITEM, experimental and OGR only, 
wich is the name of the field containing style info's. No info about the
format, etc.

Look also to how-to
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/vector_data/mapinfo/?searchterm=styleitem
is an how-to to read mapinfo files.
With STYLEITEM=AUTO in the
layer you can preserve the style information of the mapinfo layer.

You can of course define in the layer a number of classes equal to
the number of styles you want, each class with its STYLE, and in the class
EXPRESSION (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/msexpressions) you can
define the? value of the field (defined in CLASSITEM property) for
style definition of single feature.
e.g. :
if you have a .shp of
buildings and use of each building is defined in the field 'TYPE' with the
keywords 'PUBLIC', 'PRIVATE', 'AIRPORT'... your layer in the .map file can
appear like:
#
LAYER
??? NAME edifici
??? DATA edifici
??? TYPE POLYGON
??? CLASSITEM 'TYPE'
??? CLASS

??? ??  EXPRESSION 'PUBLIC'

??? ??  STYLE
 ???
??  ??  COLOR? 223 184 230

??? ??  ??  OUTLINECOLOR 80 80 80

??? ??  END # of style
 ???
END # of class
 ??? CLASS
 ???
??  EXPRESSION 'PRIVATE'
 ??? ?? 
STYLE
 ??? ??  ??  COLOR? 199
141 235
 ??? ??  ??  OUTLINECOLOR
80 80 80
 ??? ??  END # of style

??? END # of class
 ??? CLASS

??? ??  EXPRESSION 'AIRPORT'

??? ??  STYLE
 ???
??  ??  COLOR? 172 102 237

??? ??  ??  OUTLINECOLOR 80 80 80

??? ??  END # of style

END # of class

Message-ID: <THU.5.APR.2007.104048.0400.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I have found that running gdalwarp with a change in projection individually
for each tile and splitting them up via gdal_translate that the adjacent
tiles overlap slightly with a black border at edge.  If I instead run
gdalwarp against all the tiles to create a big mosaic with a change in
projection and then split(gdal_translate) them up that I don't have this
overlap.

Is their a way to individually run gdalwarp with a change in projection
against each tile without getting this overlap?

Not easily that I have found. 

 

One method that I have used was to calculate the overlap from adjacent
images necessary to cover the black border resulting from projection,
generate an image from the source tile and the eight adjacent tiles (not the
whole of the adjacent tiles, just the requisite margin), project, the clip
back to target projected extent.

 

However, if you can afford the disk space, creating the one large mosaic,
projecting, and then clipping out tiles is way easier.

Hi,

You can mosaic all the original tiles to gdal VRT virtual mosaic in seconds by using a modified gdal_merge python script.  There are references to this in mailing list archives.  If you then use this VRT as source and give the extents you would like to have on your result image for gdalwarp (parameter TE if I remember it right just now) you will get a seamless image with one run.

Subject: gdalwarp -rn(default) vs -rc
Message-ID: <THU.5.APR.2007.151617.0400.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi,
Within gdalwarp where does using the higher quality option of -rc(cubic
resampling) verses the default of nearest neighbour resampling have the
greatest impact as far as quality and also as far as speed.
Either
a.) running gdalwarp to mosaic a number of tiles together and at the same
time reproject
  i.e.  gdalwarp.exe -wo SKIP_NOSOURCE=YES  -s_srs EPSG:" + EPSG + " -t_srs
EPSG:" + EPSG_wgs84 + " -rc -co tiled=yes -q " + inputFiles + " " +
rasterFile
b.) running gdalwarp to reduce the resolution but not changing the
projection and not mosaicking
 i.e.  gdalwarp.exe -tr " + psx + " " + psy + "  -s_srs EPSG:" + EPSG_wgs84
+ " -t_srs EPSG:" + EPSG_wgs84 + " -rc -co tiled=yes -q " + rasterFile + " "
+ warpedSplitRasterFile
Will it be faster to reduce resolution against a file via gdalwarp that has
already been reduced and will the quality be the same?  As an example:
1.) I mosaic a number of tiles at full resolution
2.) I reduce the mosaic from 1 by 1/2
3a.) I reduce the mosaic from 1 by 1/4
3b.) I reduce the mosaic from 2 by 1/2

Between 3a and 3b will 3b be faster and will the quality be the same?

Any other suggestions on speeding up gdalwarp would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <THU.5.APR.2007.180520.0300.RODRIGO.ANDRADEDIGITRO.COM.BR>

    Hello dear list.
    Quick and (hopefully) simple question:
   
    What are the big mapscript no-no's for the performance conscious coder?
    I'll explain. I am working on a java mapscript application that only 
show cities and streets. Using maxscale to draw the cities streets only 
at certain zoom lvls and the street labels even closer.
    But the performance is a huge problem when it tries to render the 
streets and the accompanying labels. And I mean it, the server bends and 
stays on its knees for minutes while I wait for the map to show. I've 
banished antialising from the code, caching and all the bells and 
whistles, but the performance is still atrocious. Whats more strange, 
some areas of the map (it is composed of several shapefiles defined in 
its own layer and mapfile, included into the main mapfile) have 
acceptable performance, so could something in the shapefiles being 
slowing render draw? They all come from the same source and seem to have 
the same structure, so what could I look for in them that would hamper 
its drawing speed?

    Any help is hugely appreciated.
    Thanks

Yeah, that'll happen; it's very easy to do street data not-quite-right and
make it slooooow.

You mentioned using maxscales and minscales and all. In what capacity are
you doing that? Are you using the CFCC (the road's "importance") as the
classitem, and showing only highways at this scale, only highways and
major roads at this scale, ...?

Is this a line shapefile? Or did you buffer the lines into polygons, to
get that cool-looking effect of thick road lines? Poylgons render more
slowly than lines, so if you're looking for thick roads I'd recommend
using 2 styles per class, rather than a polygon.

Did you use shptree on the shapefile? That creates a spatial index (a .qix
file) and can dramatically speed up the shapefile driver.

Those are a few ideas...

So how do we make it right?

I'm having the same problem, with one customer-supplied shapefile.  I've
managed decent performance with others, but this one just stalls when I
turn on street names, even at zoom levels where only two are three names
displayed.

I did what I know how to do - running shptree, setting maxscale so that
streetnames aren't drawn except at close-in zooms.  I even ran the file
through ogr2ogr, in case the files I'd been supplied had somehow been
corrupted.  And it's not all that big a file - less than 800,000
features.

What else can I do?

Rodrigo, Jeff, Gregor,

It is possible to do this without too much effort. I do it with Tiger 
Data and I have 3300 counties with the street data split into Major 
roads and Minor roads.

See here for what you can expect:
http://imaptools.com/maps/demo.html

Some of the tricks are:

Don't you shapefiles with 800000 lines in it. Use shape2tile (you can 
get it from the downloads section of http://imaptools.com/ to split you 
big shapefiles into smaller ones using quadtree option to put 8-10K 
items per file. Then use create a tileindex to seem the files back together.

Use mindistance in the label block to avoid drawing extra labels.

Build mapserver with the -debug configure option and set DEBUG ON in 
your mapfile and look at the apache errorlog to see what layers are 
costing the most to draw and optimize them first. Turn them on later 
with MIN/MAXSCALE. Look at the labelcache performance if this is too 
high reduce the number of labels you are adding to the cache by turning 
on labels later with MIN/MAXSCALE

MAKE SURE ALL shapefiles have a spatial index using shptree. On linux run:

find /path/to/data -name \*.shp -exec shptree {} \;

make sure you tileindexes all have shptree indexes.

There are probably a few more but this is good for starters.

Hi John, et al,

You example a) implies that you can supply multiple input files to 
mosaic into a single output file. Can you do that in one command? So 
multiple files names are on the command line and the last one is the 
output file? That would be very sweet.

Also do you know where the various options for -wo and -co are listed. 
They are not in the man pages. There is only the less than useful 
comment "There is a list of available ones. " and not reference as to where.

Hi Antonio, 

Since my first post, I tried many other approache including the java.library.path overwriting, 

But after quick comparison on the dependant dll versions with other machine having mapscript working, it really seems to be the cause of the error.

However, since there a lot of dll in the dependence tree I could not figured out which one was problematic.

 

Consequently, I tried to install it on 3 other computer and I did encounter any error.

 

The main difference between my problematic setup and all the setup working is that I have a lot of Microsoft stuff and corresponding dll version installed, 

-sql server 2000

-iis

-visual studio 2005

-sqlserver 2005

-crystal report

-...

 

Does this could explain the problem on your setup too ?

Jonathan

Oggetto: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] MapScript Java problem

 

Hi,

I'm trying to make MapScript java work under tomcat 5.5.17 / jdk 6.0 / windows xp

And I'm getting the following error: 

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\mapscript\mapscript.dll: The operating system cannot run %1

 

I already included the following folder in the path system variable 

C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin

C:\ms4w\Apache\cgi-bin\mapscript\java

As well as the proj lib variable.

PROJ_LIB

C:\ms4w\proj\nad

 

The package I installed is from ms4w_2.2.3.zip

 

I have tried several variation of my setup including change of jdk to 5.0 and I keep getting that error...

 

I know that the actual dlls are found in the path since when I remove one folder from the path variable I receive either, 

UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\mapscript\mapscript.dll, ddl not in the java.library.path

Or 

Dll dependency not found in the java.library.path

 

 

This seems to be related with dll version mismatch.

 

For example: 

http://support.borland.com/entry.jspa?externalID=6065&categoryID=447

 

 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi All,
I have some troubles also with transparent symbols

server version:
MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SU
PPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT 
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPP
ORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS 
INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAP
EFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG

using transparent png AND output as a png (AND using 'TRANSPARENCY 
ALPHA' as Daniel proposed), results in transparent image symbols, but 
ONLY for the 90, 180 and 270 degrees rotation ???
See attachement: all the same symbol, rotated different degrees.

So it looks like Peter's 'overlapping' problem seems to me not an 
overlapping symbol, but more an 'amount of rotation symbol'.
Maybe this 'conclusion' is helpfull?
It would be nice if rotating image symbols will be fixed one day.

Grtz

Hi folks,

I have a quick question.  If there is any technical question related to MapServer, is there any technical support (other than this email list) to ask question directly ? 

MySQL is a open source product, but it has a company behind to provide technical support, is there any similar tech support behind MapServer? 

This is a question from my boss, any hint for this.

Shannon Sun,

There are a number of consulting and services companies that can provide
paid support.  One such company, that I have some affiliation with, is
DM Solutions Group which offers "standard support products" for MapServer
under the "Premiere" name.

   http://www.dmsolutions.ca

But there are lots of organizations, and some individuals, that can setup
customized support arrangements.

A difference between MySQL and MapServer is that there isn't one obvious
company to choose, but there are a diversity of options.

In the coming months, OSGeo hopes to operate a "service provider directory"
that would make it easier to find organizations that can provide services
around projects like MapServer.

Best regards,

There is no company behind MapServer. However, your company could hire
one of the many fine consultants and companies that inhabit this email
list. They range from folks who have developed parts of the software
to folks who use it to make fine applications.

Hope this helps.

I believe apache does not pass the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the child process 
so you migh try setting it explicitly or using a shell script like the 
above.

Hi

This is probably a newbie question:

I am working with the WxS wrapper script found in the mapserver site and
the final part of the script is the HTTP header reply and dumping of the
image is:

$contenttype = ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype();
header('Content-type: image/png');
ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes();
ms_ioresethandlers();

since the header() already defines the content-type I was thinking that
the $contenttype was not necessary so I removed the $contenttype and got
an error message  which is not a string but an image.If I do
header('Content-type: $contenttype); everything also works fine.

Why is mandatory to have $contenttype =
ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype(); ?!

Best

Jorge de Jesus

Jorge,

This is necessary because until you call ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype()
the content type string is still in the stdout buffer, and will get dumped
along with it when you call ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes().

The ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype() *strip* it out of the stdout
buffer as well as returning it to you.

Best regards,

Subject: Question about editing gis data using mapserver
Message-ID: <SUN.8.APR.2007.182752.0700.SETAN.JOWOGMAIL.COM>

Hi, I'm a new user of mapserver. I've tried the demo and explore the
php/mapscript.
I realize that the demo is about reading and accessing data either from shp
or postgis(I tried these 2 method).

I have a question about editing GIS data. Can I change the shp or data in
postgis using mapserver ? For example, I click the map on my browser then
change some data and submit it back to be saved on database or file, cause
it seems there is no editing example in the mapserver package.

thank you,

David

I don't think that Mapserver directly supports editing. Typically, I
either edit the data in PostGIS (since most of our data is there) or would
write up something using PHP-OGR (a OGR interface for PHP) to edit a
shapefile.

Hope that helps...

Subject: How does MapServer query database
Message-ID: <MON.9.APR.2007.170125.0800.CHEUNG.JACKEYGMAIL.COM>

Greetings!

I'm wondering, how does MapServer retrieve data from database?

Say, I've got a database table with around 10 million records including points, lines, and polygons. I am drawing a line layer in the scale of 1:100K. In such scale, many lines won't be visible on the map, and there is a field that controls the visible scale of objects in the database. How can I make MapServer retrieves only necessary lines from the database instead of selecting all lines? This shouldn't be tough if I use MapScript, but Java/MapScript keeps crashing tomcat so have to give it up.

Joydip,

Please make sure you respond to the list so other can help and benefit.

I think you need to post more specific details of what your script looks 
like and what is the exact error message you are getting. Since this 
solution works for me, I'm not sure I can guess what might be wrong on 
your system, so some more details would be helpful.

This issue seems to be related to what is reported in bugs :

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2021 and
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2045

They are still open issues but should be fixed before the next release.

Hi,
I wrote the following definition of a layer:

LAYER
    NAME 'MyAnnotationShape'
    TYPE ANNOTATION
    DATA 'MyAnnotationShape'
    STATUS DEFAULT
    LABELITEM "STRING"
    CLASSITEM "STRING"

        POSITION CC
        PARTIALS FALSE
        BUFFER 2
      END

  END

The layer is well displayed but the labels have all the same orientation
(orizhontal), but the original orientation of those label is variable, which
is the instruction in order to have a varible orientation ?
How can I use the column ANGLE in the dbf which defines for each label its
correct orientation ?
 
Thanks in advance

Giuseppe, 

To create rotated labels, you need to use TrueType fonts.  

It looks like you are already trying to use TrueType, just change the
value of TYPE (in your LABEL block) to truetype.  

At the LAYER level, you will also need to add LABELANGLEITEM.  See the
mapfile reference at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer

David.

Hi,
I wrote the following definition of a layer:

LAYER
    NAME 'MyAnnotationShape'
    TYPE ANNOTATION
    DATA 'MyAnnotationShape'
    STATUS DEFAULT
    LABELITEM "STRING"
    CLASSITEM "STRING"

    CLASS
      NAME 'All'
      EXPRESSION /./
      STYLE
        COLOR -1 -1 -1
      END
      LABEL
        COLOR 255 255 51
        ANTIALIAS TRUE
        SHADOWCOLOR 0 0 0 
        SHADOWSIZE 1 1
        TYPE BITMAP
        FONT arial
        SIZE LARGE
        POSITION CC
        PARTIALS FALSE
        BUFFER 2
      END
      
    END

  END

The layer is well displayed but the labels have all the same orientation
(orizhontal), but the original orientation of those label is variable,
which is the instruction in order to have a varible orientation ? How
can I use the column ANGLE in the dbf which defines for each label its
correct orientation ?
 
Thanks in advance

Hi folks,
    I already had some problems between Oracle and Apache. 99% of then 
was with environments and permissions.
    The first thing to check is if the folder (/lib) inside the Oracle 
Home have the "read" permission, for all groups. Remember that the 
Apache use a special user and group to create the threads and the services.
    Another thing is with the SELinux, check if in your SO is enable 
this option. You can disable it or change the rules to Apache.
    The enviroments is another part, you can define it inside the 
httpd.conf (this option will work for Mapscript). If you want to define 
it for CGI, the best way is to define inside the service that start the 
Apache (usually in /etc/init.d/...), another way is do the export's for 
all user.
    Remember to export the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_SID.
    Best regards.

Joydip,

we also had strange configuration problems getting oracle (locator) run 
with umn (and later on especially with php).

I put a kind of HowTo on the umn webpage, find it here:

I hope that helps - more experiences and comments are welcome!

Message-ID: <TUE.10.APR.2007.102753.0200.MIZERKINWIRZKOELN.DE>

Hi list!

 

I would like to make a GetFeatureInfo-Request and get an xml-file with the
results, where all the fields would be listed (something similar to this
response in this example: http://interops.esri.com/help/wms_gfi.htm). 

As far as I know, in this case there should be an xml-template provided. The
problem is that I don't know all the field-names of the query-layer. Is it
possible to set up the template so, that it lists all the fields, not having
to type the fieldnames into the template manually?

 

Thanks in advance!

You can just use gml_include_items "all" and have Mapserver output GML. You
don't need any XML template for this.

Subject: [PHPMapScript] Pb to remove the text string of a class obj
Message-ID: <TUE.10.APR.2007.120718.0200.LMGEOSPHERE.FR>

Hi all,
 
I have another troubles with the latest version of PHPMapScript.
I succeeded in setting the text string for a class object with the function settext. For example, I use the following code : $oClass->settext("my_text");
It works perfectly but I sometimes would like to remove the "TEXT" property which was created in the map file by the function settext. I have tried to set this property with a default value such as "" or null, but the effect is to set the "TEXT" property with a blank value "" and not to remove it. Is there any way to remove this property with PHPMapScript ?
 
Any information in this regard will be really appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
 
Lo?c

Hi Shannon

You've caught me out here as I hadn't finished the documentation as in the
end we didn't use direct access to ArcSDE!

The problem was with the FastCGI dropping out quite alot and therefore the
CGI execution would fail intermitently.  The other problems was also to do
with licensing for ArcSDE (i.e. ArcSDE client access libary costs) and also
the fact that upgrades to ArcSDE aren't always instantaneous i.e. can take
the whole internet mapping down whilst the DB is ugraded over a few days.

In the end we implemented some caching with OGR tools to basically download
at regular intervals (every 15 minutes via Windows Scheduled tasks) to
shapefiles.  This has proven effective and very resiliant as our scripts
detect a failure if the ArcSDE database isn't available and leaves the
previous cached shapefile therefore the internet site doesn't do down.

I'd be interested to look at using FASTCGI with ArcSDE again but at present
don't have a business need as the above works really well.

Let me know if you still want the documentation and I'll send over...

Kind Regards
Mike

Thanks Richard

The highlighting now works a treat - I used an Expression in the end i.e.

qstring=(([UPRN] = 100061562714) OR ([UPRN] = 100061561248))

The only other thing I would love to do via the straight CGI is to be able
to specify a negativeTOLERANCE.  Bascially I have some land parcels
(Polygons) that have planning applications (Polygons) over teh top.  I want
the user to be able to select one or more Land Parcels (done above) and then
only find the Planning Applications that Intersect but don't BUTT onto as
they would come from a different property.  The easiest way I thought of was
to have a negative tolerance of say 10cm or so but MapServer doesn't seem to
like negative TOLERANCES.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
mike

Is it possible to highlight a feature when using mode=map?  I've tried
setting up the qlayer and qstring to select a feature by a gid, but I'm not
getting the desired results.

What are the recommended ways of highlighting a feature without returning
additional information about the feature (I have an ajax call that has
already returned that info).

Thanks,

Hi John,

I am not aware of a way to highlight a feature using mode=map, but
another technique I use is to create a transparent image that is stacked
on top of your main map image.  Then use some javascript that set's this
top image's src with a URL that looks something like this

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] highlighting a feature in mode=map

Is it possible to highlight a feature when using mode=map?  I've tried
setting up the qlayer and qstring to select a feature by a gid, but I'm
not getting the desired results.

What are the recommended ways of highlighting a feature without
returning additional information about the feature (I have an ajax call
that has already returned that info).

Thanks,

John, 

I have done this when I want to highlight a particular county in the
state.  To do this, I need to know the ID (FIPS) for the poly.  I create
a URL variable that is passed to mapserv in the url and then use that
variable in an expression in a class in the counties layer.  If you can
successfully use GID in an expression in your map file, you can do it
this way.

Here is an example LAYER:

LAYER
    NAME basemap
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POLYGON
    DATA 'county'
    CLASSITEM "COUNTY_FIP"
	CLASS 
       NAME "Low"
       EXPRESSION ('[COUNTY_FIP]' in '%group1%')
       OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0   
       COLOR 255 204 204
    END
END

Here is a sample URL:

http://192.1.1.109/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=map&map=/maps/emissions.map&grou
p1=001,003,005,007,009,011,013,015,017,019,021

This will highlight all of the counties that have a code listed in the
URL.  

This was clipped from an app where I create a thematic map of counties
and create the legend by passing all of the info in through the URL.  It
uses multiple URL vars and multiple classes.  

It is kind of a cool way to use MapServer.  The map file has no
attribute data associated with it beyond the feature IDs.  You can
define the high and low values for each thematic class on the client
side and then build both the map and a legend.  

To create the legend, I make a separate call to a different map file.
By passing in the thematic class value range as the name of its
respective class, the value range shows up in the legend.  

e.g.
http://192.1.1.109/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=legend&map=/maps/emissionslegend
.map&map_basemap_class_1_name=1%20to%201000&map_basemap_class_2_name=100
0%20to%2010,000&map_basemap_class_3_name=10,000%20to%20100,000&map_basem
ap_class_4_name=100,000%20to%201,000,000

Hi John,

I am not aware of a way to highlight a feature using mode=map, but
another technique I use is to create a transparent image that is stacked
on top of your main map image.  Then use some javascript that set's this
top image's src with a URL that looks something like this

Hi,

May-be there is other methods as well, but I think that easier than the 
below is to use a queryfile. You first have to save the results (the 
highlighted objects) to a queryfile and then add the queryfile part, 
queryfile=/x/xxx.qy, to the map request url.

Actually the CGI reference does not mention, that the queryfile would 
work in map mode, but in practice I have found it working..

David,
  This works quite well, but I'm wondering if this kind of query opens a sql
layer up to a sql injection attack?  Are MapServer's expressions scrubbed
for this possibility?

Dave,

Thanks for your reply.

Firstly I updated my map file such that it now reads:

IMAGEPATH "/mapserver_temp/"
IMAGEURL "temp"

I am able to write the image (image_file.png) via the mapserver object
to the IMAGEPATH location with no troubles. However, how do I display
that resultant image file in a web page? I thought the image would be
available via http://loalhost:8080/myapp/temp/image_file.png 

Can anyone offer some help?

Cheers,
Nelson

When I ran mapserver and tomcat together on a mac platform,  I said 
things like


  TEMPLATE ../WEB-INF/post_transform_directory/en-gb/mob_resources.xml
  IMAGEPATH "../tmp/"
  IMAGEURL "tmp/"
  LOG "/tmp/map.out"

I can't comment on the window platform to much, but I suspect that
saying

IMAGEPATH "c:\\mapserver_temp\\"
IMAGEURL "temp"
may help, or perhaps justing using \ instead.

TO a java program a file seperator is / or \, but mapserver is a C
program, so it may choose only to understand the \ character.

Tomcat by itself does not provide a handy way of creating aliases for
directories outside the application root. You should use apache as a
frontend to tomcat (with the jk connector) and then define an alias
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#alias) to map
'c:/mapserver_temp' to the 'temp' subdirectory of the url.

You should consider the use of apache as a tomcat frontend anyway
because of many other features like load balancing, faster serving of
static data (css, images, etc), better security, ssl, etc

Umberto

Message-ID: <WED.11.APR.2007.101630.0200.ML.DJEGEOCONTENT.DE>

Hello,

we would like to configure a WMS that only supports JPEG. Currently, the 
mapfile only contains an OUTPUTFORMAT block for JPEG, but the 
GetCapabilities still lists png, jpeg, gif, wbmp, and tiff.

How can I restrict the output formats?

Thanks for any help,
Dirk

Subject: Tomcat IMAGEPATH IMAGEURL
Message-ID: <WED.11.APR.2007.091317.0100.>

This may be of interest.

I have a java class responsible for creating a mapObj (in my case I populate the layers from info in an Oracle Table .. there are no physical map files). The class has a method that creates an imageObj and returns it as bytes. This is the code below  
public byte[] showMapAnswer(){
        aMap = (vaisalaMap) mapWindows.get(currentMapWindow);
        mapObj thisMap = aMap.getIcemap();
        imageObj mapImg = thisMap.draw(); 
        return mapImg.getBytes();     
    }
I have similar methods for returning reference maps, scalebar etc.

Then in my servlet I get the instance of my map and assign the byte from the above method to a byte array and write this to the response stream

   HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
    System.out.print("*******************"+'\n');
    System.out.print("Draw : Session Called as "+session.getId()+'\n');
    System.out.print("*******************"+'\n');
    mapView thismapWindow ;

    thismapWindow =  (mapView) session.getAttribute("maps") ;
    int reqView;
    if (request.getParameter("view")==null){
        reqView=0;
    }
    else {
        reqView = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("view")); 
    }
    thismapWindow.setCurrentMapWindow(reqView);
    OutputStream o = response.getOutputStream();
    byte[] imgData = thismapWindow.showMapAnswer();  
    o.write(imgData);
    o.flush();

Then in your html or jsp you can simply add an image tag with the source being the above Servlet. 

Doing this avoids me having to save anything to disk.

Tomcat by itself does not provide a handy way of creating aliases for
directories outside the application root. You should use apache as a
frontend to tomcat (with the jk connector) and then define an alias
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#alias) to map
'c:/mapserver_temp' to the 'temp' subdirectory of the url.

You should consider the use of apache as a tomcat frontend anyway
because of many other features like load balancing, faster serving of
static data (css, images, etc), better security, ssl, etc

Hi list!

I'm trying to configure mapsever to show images with float32 (NDVI) through
WCS Server.
The source images is an .img file. I had configured the map file like this.

MAP
  NAME TEST
  STATUS ON
  SIZE 400 300
  EXTENT 154590 4062740 579080 4300000
  UNITS DD
  SHAPEPATH "../data"
  IMAGETYPE gtiff
  FONTSET "../etc/fonts.txt"
  SYMBOLSET "../etc/symbols.sym"
  DEBUG ON

PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:23030"
END

OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME GEOTIFF_FLOAT32
    DRIVER "GDAL/GTiff"
    IMAGEMODE FLOAT32
    MIMETYPE "image/tiff"
    EXTENSION "tif"
END

LAYER
  NAME "Test"
  STATUS ON
  PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO"
  DUMP TRUE
  DATA "D:\Raster\MODIS\NDVI\NDVI_BN\NDVI2006_BN\test.img"
  TYPE RASTER
  METADATA
    "wcs_description"     "test"
    "wcs_name"             "test"
    "wcs_label"         "test"
    "ocs_srs"           "epsg:23030"
    "ows_extent"         "165338.03 4066203.70 572211.36 4289103.56"
    "wcs_size"            "7500 9000"
    "wcs_resolution"     "231.7 231.7"
    "wcs_nativeformat"     "raw binary"
    "wcs_bandcount"     "1"
    "wcs_formats"         "GEOTIFF_FLOAT32"
   END
END

END

I have checked the pixel values and they are the same that the source image,
but WCS only shows me a black image.

Does anybody know how to resolv this problem?

Thanks

Hi Sean,

MapDotNetServer seems to be one of them (at least they use the Mapserver MAP

There was a mention a while ago of a proprietary MapServer-based 
software with enhancements and bug fixes. This has made me curious. Does 
anybody have any examples of proprietary extensions to MapServer that 
have given back bug fixes and features to the open source community? I'm 
curious about proprietary, pay websites as well as MapServer-based 
commercial, off-the-shelf software.

Shared edges are a pain. You might try preprocessing a version of your
planning applications layer and shrink 'em just a bit (10 cm). That way 
you remove the coincident lines and would get just cases where there is
overlaps. I did that here for a polygon selection operation involving counties
selecting other counties (we also hit quad boundaries and watersheds
where touches weren't an issue). Worked great.

I used ArcInfo to do the buffering but now you can use GEOS and one
of the many clients that are out there, including MapScript. I think there's
a buffer perl script example shipped with newer versions of MapServer.

Thanks Richard

The highlighting now works a treat - I used an Expression in the end i.e.

qstring=(([UPRN] = 100061562714) OR ([UPRN] = 100061561248))

The only other thing I would love to do via the straight CGI is to be able
to specify a negativeTOLERANCE.  Bascially I have some land parcels
(Polygons) that have planning applications (Polygons) over teh top.  I want
the user to be able to select one or more Land Parcels (done above) and then
only find the Planning Applications that Intersect but don't BUTT onto as
they would come from a different property.  The easiest way I thought of was
to have a negative tolerance of say 10cm or so but MapServer doesn't seem to
like negative TOLERANCES.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
mike

I know that there are quite a few people using database backends to
MapServer.  I will let the developers comment on the extent of input
validation and protection against SQL injection.

David,
  This works quite well, but I'm wondering if this kind of query opens a
sql layer up to a sql injection attack?  Are MapServer's expressions
scrubbed for this possibility?

Thanks,

John


John, 

I have done this when I want to highlight a particular county in the
state.  To do this, I need to know the ID (FIPS) for the poly.  I create
a URL variable that is passed to mapserv in the url and then use that
variable in an expression in a class in the counties layer.  If you can
successfully use GID in an expression in your map file, you can do it
this way.

Here is an example LAYER:

LAYER
    NAME basemap
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE POLYGON
    DATA 'county'
    CLASSITEM "COUNTY_FIP"
	CLASS 
       NAME "Low"

Hallo all,

I am trying to do a query an Postgis Layer.

In my Postgis Layer there is a tablespace with more than 1000 rows. Every
row is a line on my map.
When I click on a line, I get all the lines in the tablespace queried.
Is it possible, to get only the line queried where I clicked on, and not the
whole tablespace?

I am using Mapscript.

I hope, somebody can help me!

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have a python mapscript application, which used to work fine with
mapserver 4.8.

After  I upgraded to version 4.10 it crashes in libc. I tracked it down to a
line in mapscript.py:

  def getSWFBytes(*args): return _mapscript.imageObj_getSWFBytes(*args)

I suspect that this is related to the recent changes made to make several
attributes immutable, but I might be wrong. 

I am using eclipse & pydev to debug , but I am wondering if there is any
tool  I can use to debug the  C code further other than printing with 
printf and setting assertion statements.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tamas,

I'm using the following:

for (int i = 0; i < map.numlayers; i++)
{
	layerObj Layer = map.getLayer(i);
	numFeatures = Layer.numitems;
}

Like I have said, numFeatures always returns zero.
As you can see, I don't call the Layer.Open(); method. At this example, is
it necessary ?
When execute "layerObj Layer = map.getLayer(i);" the method "Open()" is not
internally called ?

Thank's again,

Fabio

I zipped it up and added the link. Edit config.js in the main directory to

No.

getLayer retrieves only the reference of the layer and does not call
any further operation on it.
layerObj.open actually calls msLayerGetItems which is responsible to
fill numitems in.

Hi Christina,
 
Have you checked the tolerance and toleranceunits of the layer? For
example, if you set tolerance to 4, and your units are degrees (rather
than pixels), it would apply about 400km, which would be a lot. Then it
may end up returning everything in your map. So maybe set toleranceunits
to pixels, and the amount to something sensible, and try again.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Jacob

Fabio,

Be aware that numitems returns the number of attributes, NOT the number of objects. Is that what you meant with "layer features"?
I don't think there is a way to get the number of objects, unless you do it outside mapserver/mapscript. Only shapefiles can get an object count within mapscript.
Depending on the circumstances, you *could* do a query, and get the number of results from the query.

Regards,

Jacob

Hello Christina,
You should specify the mapunits for the map file
e.g. UNITS METERS
and use a proper tolerance distance in the layer which you want to query
e.g.  TOLERANCE 15

Do not forget to add  specify the result fields in your metadata for the
layer which you want to query.

e.g.  "RESULT_FIELDS" "DIAMETER"

In addition one can use the whichShapes, nextShape methods to iterate
the available shapes within a rect.

Or alternatively the Layer.GetFeatureCount in the GDAL/OGR C# API can
also be used.

It seems that the machine hosting bugzilla has been compromised, so it

Hey, Dejan. Depending on the data (e.g. documentation?) you may be able to
find it in the cache of the major search engines. Go to google and look up
"mapscript class documentation" or whatever and use the "cache" link by
the result. That may get you what you need.

Message-ID: <THU.12.APR.2007.183534.0200.FREDERIKREMOTE.ORG>

Hi,

   I asked this question on the mapserver-de list but had no replies,
so I 'm escalating to the next level ;-)

I'm sure it must be something simple I am overlooking but I cannot
find it. I am trying to have mapserver create a raster layer from
JPG/JPW files, and export that as WMS.

As found in the readme documents, I created an index file:

gdaltindex test.shp *.jpg

Looking at the resulting test.shp, everything looks ok, I see a lot of
nice little rectangles.

My JPW files are in Gauss-Krueger coordinates and I want the WMS
server to speak EPSG:4226, so I built the map file as follows:

NAME DEMO
WEB
  METADATA
    "wms_title"           "WMS Demo Server"
    "wms_onlineresource"  "http://localhost/mapserver/mapserv?map=demo.map&"
    "wms_srs"             "EPSG:4326"
  END
END

PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:31468"
END

LAYER
  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:31468"
  END
  METADATA
    "wms_title"           "WMS Demo Server"

  END
  NAME "DEMO"
  TILEINDEX "test.shp"
  TILEITEM "location"
  TYPE RASTER

Now if I do a "GetCapabilities" call to the WMS server, I get this
(among other stuff):

  <Layer>
    <Name>DEMO</Name>
    <Title>WMS Demo Server</Title>
    <SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS>
    <LatLonBoundingBox minx="-25.412" miny="-7.1722e-06" maxx="-25.412" maxy="-7.1722e-06" />
    <BoundingBox SRS="EPSG:31468"
                minx="-1" miny="-1" maxx="-1" maxy="-1" />
    <Layer queryable="0" opaque="0" cascaded="0">
        <Name>DEMO</Name>
        <Title>WMS Demo Server</Title>
        <SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS>
    </Layer>
  </Layer>

For some reason it decides that my original data are all at "-1,-1"
in GK projection, and thranslates that to the funny lat/lon values you
see. If I change EPSG:31468 to something else, then the -1,-1 stays
the same but the lat/lon values change.

There seems to be a problem with my tile index file; I ran strace on
the apache process and found that after reading the map file,
mapserver doesn't even *try* to read my test.shp:

open("demo.map", O_RDONLY)          = 3
[...] 
open("/usr/share/proj/proj_def.dat", O_RDONLY) = 4
read(4, "# Projection library defaults fi"..., 4096) = 261
[...]
open("/usr/share/proj/epsg", O_RDONLY) = 4
[...]
open("/usr/lib/gdalplugins", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[...]
write(1, "Content-type: application/vnd.og"..., 4096) = 4096

So it can't even be a problem with the location or format of the
test.shp as otherwise I would have to see at least an attempt to open
the file. Is my layer specification wrong? There are no warnings when
I run the GetCapabilities...

What's this line about the GDAL plugins, anything missing there?
Mapserver ist compiled with DEBUG=MSDEBUG but a "DEBUG ON" in the map
file doesn't increase verbosity. I have a Debian system with gdal-bin
and libgdal1 installed.

Does anybody have a clue what's wrong here?

I have several annotation shapefiles with several thousand labels each that
I need to either project on-the-fly or pre-process and project beforehand.
Would anyone care to comment on the performance hit this level of projection

Subject: IIS and FastCGI
Message-ID: <THU.12.APR.2007.163351.0500.HOBUIASTATE.EDU>

All,

I have been able to get FastCGI working with IIS and ArcSDE.  Below 
is a description of what I did, and I hope someone can take it and 
turn it into a proper doc once they can confirm that it works for them.

This description is for using just the MapServer CGI with FastCGI and 
IIS (5.1 on my case), not PHP or any of the other bindings, and not 
with Apache.

Ingredients:
- A recent MS4W build that has FastCGI support
- The FastCGI ISAPI module from <http://www.caraveo.com/fastcgi/>
- Frickin' IIS

Step 1)  Get regular old mapserv.exe working.  This can be hard.  It 
was for me.  Liberal use of depends.exe to go find all of the dlls 
you need to give the IUSR account execution permissions might be required.

Step 2) Get it mapserv.exe rendering your data.  Test that you can 
get an image by hitting your URL via WMS 
<http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\my\mapfile.map&service=WMS&request=GetMap&version=1.1.1&layers=mylayer>

Step 3)  Put the ISAPI DLL somewhere on your execution path.  Add the 
ISAPI filter by going to your Web Site's Properties page and adding 
it on the ISAPI Filters tab.

Step 4) Go to the properties page of your cgi-bin directory or 
virtual directory in the IIS admin.  Choose "Configuration" and add a 
mapping.  Pick the location of mapserv.exe for your executable and 
choose .fcgi (don't forget the .).  Uncheck Script engine and Check 
that file exists.

Step 5)  Hack your registry with entries so the FastCGI ISAPI 
module.  More information about the options available are in the 
readme.txt of the source version of the ISAPI module.  You could also 
try using the following (after pulling out the email quoting and 
updating the AppPath to reflect the location of your mapserv.exe) and 
save it as a .reg file and load it into your registry.

>Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
>
>[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FASTCGI]
>"CustomVars"=hex:00
>"ThreadPoolSize"=dword:00000010
>"BypassAuth"=dword:00000001
>"Impersonate"=dword:00000001
>"StartServers"=dword:00000005
>"IncrementServers"=dword:00000002
>"MaxServers"=dword:00000025
>
>[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FASTCGI\mapserv.fcgi]
>"AppPath"="c:\\inetpub\\cgi-bin\\mapserv.exe"

Step 6) Restart IIS.  You may have already done this multiple 
times.  You may have already restarted your machine multiple 
times.  I'll admit to some significant dead chicken waving to get this to work.

Step 7) Go to your URL, but instead of hitting mapserv.exe, hit 
mapserv.fcgi.  It should return an image to you.  If it complains 
about not finding proj.4 files, you may need to add CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" 
"C:\location\of\proj\data" or CONFIG "GDAL_DATA" "C:\location\of\gdal\data".

Step 8)  add PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER" to all of the layers 
you want connection pooling to work with.  This provides the most 
benefit for drivers with heavy connection overhead like SDE and Oracle.

Good luck,

Howard

        <input type=checkbox name="map_[leg_layer_name]_status"
       value=1 [if name=layer_status oper=eq value=2]CHECKED[/if]>
     </td>
    <td colspan=2>
        <a href="[metadata name=href]">[metadata name=layer_title]</a>

</tr >

[leg_class_html opt_flag=14]

    </td>
    <td>
        [leg_class_name]
    </td>
</tr>
[/leg_class_html]

msFreeHashTable(classArgs);

Subject: Is it possible to randomly color polygons?
Message-ID: <THU.12.APR.2007.182925.0500.JEFFPROPERTYKEY.COM>

I have a layer with a lot of polygons that I want to display, but I 
don't really care about what color those polygons are (they're not 
classified, I'm not going to have a legend, I just want them to be 
different colors so no 2 adjacent polygons are the same color, e.g. 
counties in a state or states in the US).  It seems like it'd be a 
pretty common thing to want, but is there a reasonably easy way to do 
it?  I'm guessing the best way would be to assign a class to each of the 
polygons, but is there some sort of algorithm to figure out how many 
colors I need and how to assign them?

Any ideas?

No, color randomly does not work, You need to apply the Four Color 
theorem, see:

http://www.math.gatech.edu/~thomas/FC/fourcolor.html

Your best bet is to apply this to the polygons first and set an 
attribute column dor a color number and then as you suggest use 
mapserver class to select and render the color.

Hi,

Why not to make a fast test by using your own data?  Adjust your map file (or make a copy) so that the shapefiles are served first in the native projection of the data, and then in some other projection.  If you have more interest you can tune for example JMeter to send a few thousand requests for both setups.  This should give you some usable information.

I don't think anyone has any idea about number of users as it's free.
Using download numbers (I assume they're available?) you may be able to
extrapolate changes in popularity wrt time rather than absolute numbers.
Of course this won't take into account any packaging by distros which
will change the numbers by an unknown amount.  Trying to get even
approximate usage numbers is a black art at best so I'm not sure anyone
even tries to do it.

Hard to give you ideas as you haven't told us your audience profile.
What interests geospatial people will be different from developers,
managers etc.

people to seriously think about the MapServer alternative if they ever
decide to implement a WebGIS solution (for example the number of members
in the lists, the number of downloads as you suggested, or even better
some relative numbers that show the MapServer growth in time). It is the
"open source systems" and "Linux users conference" at the same time (not
a GIS conference) so I expect more developers/system integrators than
managers in the audience.

Subject: Virtual Spatial Data & QUERY control ? Wrong result
Message-ID: <FRI.13.APR.2007.024052.0500.JAN.DEBELDERSADL.KULEUVEN.BE>

Hi all,

Is there a way to use query or nquery on a virtual spatial data layer in
MAPSERVER ? I cannot get this to work.

Description of my setup:
*windows xp pro, IIS & mapserver (latest ms4w).
*I have a working virtual spatial data layer in my mapfile, with appropriate
labelling
*I have a lightweigth AJAX client which can identify (NQUERY) all layers and
gives correct results

Problem
* when using the identify (NQUERY) on a virtual spatial data point, the
query always returns the FIRST record in the ODBC source, not the one that
is clicked on by the pointclick (Mind you, when I use exactly the same data
in a shapefile, the identify works, and labelling on the virtual spatial
data points also works).


http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/ogr_howto/#queries-through-ogr-format
states that OGR queries should works the same as shapefiles. Does this not
apply to Virtual Spatial Data layers ?

Any thoughts ? 


Thanks

Hi Richard,
I tryed it but it seems that I can redirect to only one web page, I'd like
to have into only one layer some icons, each of them should be have a
different link .
Can you explain me how I can do it ?
I'm going to write a chunk of php code in order to do that but if there is
an easier way the better.
Thanks in advance for your kind attention

Numbers mean little here IMHO. Would you eat at McDonald's because
lots of other people do? Go for the qualitative instead of the
quantitative; have a look at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/gallery
for some great examples. Unfortunately, I don't think MapServer has
case studies like PostGIS's, which I found immensely useful as a
presentational aid. I'd love to be proven wrong, though :)

Kristian

Kristian,

Of course I  will talk about the MapServer quality and not the quantity,
that is why I go to the conference. I will also present them my
implementations, alive. The numbers are just an additional information

I think, You could do a "click" on the icon (which corresponds to a feature) in QUERY mode. Your feature, could have an attribute which as the redirect URL. When the query response come back, via JavaScript, you parse the response (or parse it on server side) and make a window.open (or a redirect) to that url. If you don't have URLs as features attributes, You could do it in 2 steps: maps feature ids with URLs and make a second query to that table (or file) after the parsing of the query response.

Cheers
 Piero

Do you know that there is a measure handler already in dBox?

If you follow Rich's method, I think that you can use a variable
substitution in the URL string to make it specific to the feature
clicked.  

Another method would be to make two calls to mapserv, one to get the map
image, and the second one to get an imagemap.  You then stack them on
top of each other and you can have a clickable map, mouse-over text,
etc.

David.

This is an old post that tries to clarify a couple things about template files:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0110/msg00072.html

In answer to Giu's question about going to different web pages for
each icon, I would suggest using a server-side script to process a
query string something like:

TEMPLATE="http://myserver/process_click.php?icon=[icon_id]

Another thing to try, but I do not know if it would work, would be to
have multiple TEMPLATE in multiple CLASS, for example:

LAYER
   ...
   CLASS
      EXPRESSION 1
      TEMPLATE "http:url/for/item/1"
   END
   CLASS
      EXPRESSION 2
      TEMPLATE "http:url/for/item/2"
   END
   ...
END

Hi Kevin,

The cost to project points should be relatively small. On the other hand 
the cost to display the label irrespective of a projection is probably 
taking 40-60% of you display time, guessing from my past experience 
unless you have tuned the number of labels you are trying to display at 
any given scale.

If you are concerned, build mapserver with DEBUG option with ./configure 
--enable-debug and add DEBUG ON to the MAP object and to the LAYER 
object and draw a map while watch the apache error.log. Timing stats 
will got there for each layer and the label cache. If your label cache 
time is big, you need to filter down the number of labels you are 
throwing at mapserver.

Message-ID: <FRI.13.APR.2007.104649.0300.RODRIGO.ANDRADEDIGITRO.COM.BR>

    Hello dear list.

    First of all, thanks immensely for all the tips with the last issue 
I presented (streets and its labels drawing performance). This however 
brings me to a new issue.
     I created index files (with shptree) for all the layers and tuned 
them for maximum speed, however I found out using Debug On that a single 
layer was responsible for the 99% of the drawing time: country polygon 
layer. The debug log was looking like this when I tried to zoom in close 
enough to see neighborhoods (just an example):

     msDrawMap(): Layer 1 (COUNTRY), 189.021s   <<----
     msDrawMap(): Layer 1 (city1-limiters), 0.067s
     msDrawMap(): Layer 4 (city1), 0.041s
     msDrawMap(): Layer 3 (city1_annotation), 0.025s
     msDrawMap(): Layer 1 (city2-limiters), 0.085s
     msDrawMap(): Layer 4 (city2), 0.047s
     msDrawMap(): Layer 3 (city2_annotation), 0.023s

    Removing the offending layer solves all my performance problems, but 
I am left with an archipelago instead of a state :D
    We've done some tests:
     - creating a square polygon shape with roughly the size of South 
America causes the problem,
     - using a square polygon shape the size of a city does not.
   
    The country and world shapes we are/were using as a base to drawn 
our cities on top came from the ESRI ArcGIS 9 Media kit, so I doubt they 
are out of specification (they created the shape file specs anyway, 
haven't they?).
    So I guess my question is: does a big area polygon takes longer to 
render at higher zoom levels and thats the expected behavior and I must 
find a way to turn off these layers when I zoom in too close (risking 
having some cities appearing to be islands mid sea), or is there 
something wrong with my setup?
    Btw, I am using Java Mapscript 4.10.1 on linux.

     Thanks again for all the support so far, you guys rock.

Jan,

The classic reason for this is underdetermined feature ids.  In normal use
the OGR ODBC driver will assign feature ids sequentially to records in a
result set.  If the spatial or attribute filter changes then the new result
set is still numbers sequentially.

MapServer uses feature ids (FIDs) to fetch query results, so it is
imperative for features ids to remain consistent for this to work.

If you have a column in your ODBC table which is effectively an integer
identifier that can be used as a unique FID, then you should add it to the
virtual data source description.  Add <FID>columnname</FID>.

See this for details:

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

I hope this helps.

BTW, if we eventually re-engineer the MapServer query mechanism to hold
the query result set in memory instead of having to refetch them by fid
this problem will go away - as well as a dramatic improvement in performance
in some circumstances.

Best regards,

Hello,

I'm using mapserver to create an image map of the US.  This image map
that is created is HUGE!  For example, there are 40 points in my
imagemap for Colorado, which is a very square state.   The browsers
sometimes have trouble displaying this correctly because it is so
complicated.   Is there a way to simplify the geometry without
changing my source shapefile?

Janos, 

Assuming that you are making two calls to MapServer, one for the image and one for the imagemap, I can think of two different options.  Both involve using a generalized shapefile for the imagemap layer:  

1.  point your imagemap generation call to a different mapfile that uses a generalized states shapefile.

2.  in your call to your primary map file, query a layer based on a more generalized shapefile.  

Even if you could run a generalization algorithm/function on-the-fly, you wouldn't want to.  They take quite a bit of time and server resources to run.  Optimize everything that you can before the user hits your app.  

David.

This question comes up about once a month, yeah? :)

There's no way to use Google Maps layers directly in Mapserver; it's a
violation of Google's usage policy, and they've shot down attempts to do
it in the past.

However, you can do the opposite, and overlay WMS data onto a Google Map
-- so you get the cool slippy maps but with your own photos. And you can
try something like OpenLayers, which has support for both Google Maps and
for WMS (e.g. from Mapserver) data sources.

Before you start implementing the Four Color theorem into mapserver
code, I'd recommend taking a look at Quantum GIS (QGIS)  which is a
free open source GIS package that allows you to create map files.
When you import your shapefile to QGIS it is colored randomly  and
then you can export that as a mapfile.

However, i've not been able to run that QGIS function on their latest
windows release.

You might want to look at what other software out there creates
mapfiles on the fly.

Thanks Paolo,

I didn't realize msexport.exe was a separate program.   I had to
install python 2.5 for windows and get the dwmapi.dll  and copy
python25.dll and dwmapi in the qgis folder  for it work.   But now it
does now and exporting the mapfile works. NICE !    Now, if only QGIS
would have nicer colors ....

Subject: Map with road signs
Message-ID: <FRI.13.APR.2007.143728.0400.JAMES.LEVEILLEMTQ.GOUV.QC.CA>

Hi,
 
I need to produce a map that shows road signs.
I have over 1200 types of road signs, and a total of 1.2 M road signs.
I have the position (POINT) and the type of every road sign.
Every sign needs to show up on my map using a particular image depending on
it's type.
 
Since I don't want to create 1200 CLASS in my LAYER, is there another
solution (like using the name of the image stored in the database for every
sign) ?

Good suggestion.
Would you mind submitting it as a wish on the qgis bugtracker?
Unfortunately, due to spammers, you should request an username to do so,
but it is a simple process.
All the best.

Hi all,

I don't usually use mapserver on Windows but I have run into the follow 
error:

msGetLabelSize(): TrueType Font error. Could not find/open font.

I suspect this is a permission problem. as the files (fontset.txt and 
the arial.ttf file) are where it is supposed to be, but serving it up 
via mapserv.exe generates this error. And this all works just fine on Linux.

I running ms4w and Apache. Any thoughts on how to track down and fix this.

The bugzilla system was compromised and is offline. We are also looking 
to migrate over to OSGwo/trac for bug tracking. I'm sure there will be 
an announcement when things are back online, look for that. I do not 
know what the timeline for this will be.

Not specifically a Mapserver question, but I am looking for a shape file for
the state of Alaska with minimal polygons.  The most prevalent one comes
from the National Atlas site and with all the small islands and coastline
detail, the number of polygons included is huge.  I need a less detailed,
less complex shapefile for my purposes.  Any leads on one would be
appreciated.

Hi Chip,

Have you considered running the thin.pl

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/community/scripts/thin.pl

to reduce the number of points in the polygons?

I'm a newbie of Mapserver, now I create a new project with some shapefile and tif map files, to build a web-gis sample.
Now I'm quite comfused about the EXTENT parameters in the XXX.map file when I use the 3rd-party Map data files. 

Does the paremeters of the shapefile file, which are got by ogrinfo, are just the ones in the XXX.map file ?

or any suggetion about how to define the EXTENT paremeter is appreciated~  

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Help with GMAP sample application
Message-ID: <MON.16.APR.2007.170021.1000.NELSON.LITTLETENIX.COM>

Hi everyone,

I am looking at the sample PHP MapScript example 'GMAP' (as referenced
at the bottom of
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/phpmapscript-byexample/view).
The source file 'gmap75.inc.php' references the following HTML FORM
attributes:

KEYMAP_x
KEYMAP_y
mainmap_x
mainmap_y
redraw_x

But I can't for the life of me see where those variables are set
anywhere in the code. They certainly don't exist in 'gmap75.phtml' or
'gmap75.inc.php'. Can anyone offer some help, perhaps there is a source
file missing from the download?

Thanks,
Nelson

Hi Nelson,

These variables are generated by the form. keymap and mainmap are input 
image form items. When you click on the map or the overview map your 
browser adds _x _y variables to the query string with the pixel 
coordinates of the position of the click.

t137n.tif

It doesn't mention any relative or absolute paths, just the names of

Subject: Serving time-dependant data in a custom environment
Message-ID: <MON.16.APR.2007.100522.0200.MYARDBENOITGMAIL.COM>

Hi list,

We would like to serve geographic data which is completely
time-dependant. The data is not stored in a common format : upon the
years, we've built our own database system with geographic extensions
like the ones you can find in PostGIS.

For now, we have been impressed by MapServer's ability to render
countries, cities... and now we want to render our data, which isn't
that easy.

In the first place, we thought to the WFS Specifications as the better
mean to achieve this for two reasons. The first one being that we
could write a wrapper script to access the data (easy to maintain).
The second one being that we could use HTTP (scalable system).

Unfortunately, I've just noticed that the WFS specifications don't
include TIME support as WMS does and this solution isn't just
possible.

One possible solution to this problem would be to write a custom OGR
driver |1] and use it within MapServer. Could someone share his
experience in such a field ?

One other possible solution I'm not sure of would be to use MapScript,
but I really have no idea of whether it will help or not. In fact we
don't use MapScript and well, if you think this is a possible
solution, just let me know.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one facing this limitation of the
WFS Specifications; I would appreciate to hear how others handled it
afterwards.

Thanks in advance.

I've had the most luck with using absolute paths in tileindexes.

How did you generate your tileindex? If you generate it from the root of
your drive you should get absolute paths.

So:

cd \
for /r %i in (*.tif) do gdaltindex mytileindex.shp %i

Alternatively, you can try and set SHAPEPATH to
/ms4w/apps/chameleon/samples/data/topo/

Best regards,
Bart

Bart,

I've added the shapepath line to my map-file, still no luck...
When I do a GetCapabilities-request, I get the the following error:

msLoadMap(): Premature End-of-File.

Thanks for helping out !

Subject: How to get the map's EXTENT
Message-ID: <MON.16.APR.2007.110400.0200.PRODRIGUEZADASASISTEMAS.COM>

Hello there,

The extent parameters may be expressed in different units. If you don't specify any unit, degrees minutes and secons will be considered.

If you want to set other units you can use the UNITS parameter on your mapfile. For instance, you could use "UNITS meters". Of course, this depends on your base geographic data.

I'm not quite sure, but I think that shapefiles use projected coordinates. You should then add "UNITS meters" in your mapfile to show them correctly.

In case of doubt please try to use some of the samples of the MapServer tutorial to learn how to set the extent parameter.

I hope this helps...

I'm a newbie of Mapserver, now I create a new project with some shapefile and tif map files, to build a web-gis sample.
Now I'm quite comfused about the EXTENT parameters in the XXX.map file when I use the 3rd-party Map data files. 

Does the paremeters of the shapefile file, which are got by ogrinfo, are just the ones in the XXX.map file ?

or any suggetion about how to define the EXTENT paremeter is appreciated~  

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Luis

 

We've done some research to include KML files into MapServer (not to include Google Earth images!).

 

We are currently developing a project to use this. If it is of interest to you please contact me.

I am confused by why using OpenLayers is okay, but using MapServer is
not. In both cases you are adding your own content to Google Maps
content. With OL it is being done on the client in the browser, with
MapServer it is being done on the server and passed t the browser. But
the net effect seems similar. So why does Google care how you do it?

All working now
thanks for helping out !

First, the original question was confusingly asked -- the original
question was, " I?d like to add a layer with a google earth image on
my map." Without any further context, the OP was mixing technologies
-- Google Earth is a desktop application with a direct connection to
the net, but asking about it on a MapServer list conflated it with
MapServer, a web application. Hence, Gregor's answer, "There's no way
to use Google Maps layers directly in Mapserver." Well, the OP never
asked about using Google Maps in a MapServer application, but while
possible, doing so is indeed a violation of Google's Terms of Services
(TOS).

Which bring us to Rich's question --

Google Maps data ---> MapServer based application|OpenLayers is NOT ok. But

WMS served by MapServer or anything else ---> Google Maps|MapServer
based application|OpenLayers is ok.

In other words, Google Maps data can be used inside only a Google Maps
application, but other data can also be used inside such an
application. However, Google Maps data may not be used inside any
other application as that violated Google's TOS.

OpenLayers is just an alternative to using Google Maps, the
application, but it still does not allow one to use Google Maps, the
data.

Google Maps, the data and the application, might have other
restrictions via its TOS as well regarding their use in commercial
applications. OpenLayers would not have such restrictions.

With OpenLayers, you're using Google Maps content directly (along with
other content, which has always been okay). But part of Google's terms is
that you can't "mirror" the service to another protocol. So making a map
that uses Google Maps is one OK but setting up a WMS reflector is not. You
could always dig up a copy of the Google Maps acceptable use policy and
peruse it for yourself.

I agree that it *shouldn't* matter what you do with their imagery, but
Google does care. Someone made a WMS reflector early on, and got a
ceast-n-desist almost immediately. If you care to take it up with Google,
try to talk them into allowing it to be funneled into WMS, I suspect that
it'd be a very popular proposal with a lot of people.

Subject: Possible MS4W bug? Error using shape.setValue().
Message-ID: <MON.16.APR.2007.111216.0300.RODRIGO.ANDRADEDIGITRO.COM.BR>


    Greetings,
 
    We've encountered some problems migrating from mapserver 4.8 to 
mapserver 4.10.1, specifically java mapscript.
    We have some development machines running an in-house built 
mapscript and some boxes running windows 2k with the latest MS4W 
binaries. The following problems happen on the windows boxes, but the 
same code works fine on the linux one:
   at some point in our code, a loop makes 3 calls to shape.setValue() 
to store some strings for later use. After migrating to 4.10.1, we added 
shape.initValues(3) to the method as instructed in the migration guide
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current/migration_guide_48_410) 
and that was fine. On the linux machines it all works fine, but *only* 
on the windows machines it kills the application.
    Debugging the offending code step by step showed that the methods 
are called and the values are set without errors the first time trough 
the loop, then when it enters the iteration for the 2nd time. a new 
shapeObj is created, initValue() goes about its business without errors 
and when it tries to setValue() the first element Tomcat and the whole 
application goes  down. Below is a snipet of the trace, full log attached

Stack: [0x0db70000,0x0dbb0000),  sp=0x0dbacb24,  free space=242k
Native frames: (J=compiled Java code, j=interpreted, Vv=VM code,

   Any ideas?
   Thanks in advance

Hi peeps,

I'm generating a dynamic layer with mapscript
(a point layer composed only of lat/longs, no
other attributes) and I was wondering if this layer
was actually queryable?

I think I don't fully understand the notion of queryability.
Would somebody care to exlplain?

Thanks in advance,

Why query when you have no attributes ? The point of queryability is to
retrieve attribute information of one (mapserver QUERY control) or many
(mapserver NQUERY control) layers on a certain spatial location.
 
Read more about this on : 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/controls and the query
tutorial on http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/tutorial/sections.html

Is it possible to add attributes dynamically to point, except the lat/long
(x/y) attributes of course?
I'm generating points through 1) mapscript 2) dynamic mapfile (text)
generation with inline points.

Thx

Puneet, Gregor;

Thanks for your replies. Unless I am missing one of your points, you
seem to be contradicting each other. Puneet says that you may not use
Google Maps content in any application other than the Google Maps
browser interface. But Gregor says that you are allowed to use Google
Maps content in another application such as OpenLayers as long as you
are not mirroring, etc.

So I'm still confused. Quoted text from Puneet and Gregor below:

Gregor may be correct, I might be wrong. Best is to consult Google's
TOS directly.

Your question was about using Google Maps imagery in Mapserver, yeah?
Short answer: It'd have to be in a Mapserver format (WMS or GDAL or plain
raster) and that doesn't currently exist. Google shot down previous
attempts to make a Google-to-WMS gateway, on the grounds that it violated
their Terms.

For the real authority, I'd suggest going to the Google Maps API
Documentation and reading the terms of use -- go by their words and not
mine. And you can always check out OpenLayers and even contact them to see
how (or whether) they got around the legal issues.

I'd be interested (as would many others) to hear what you find: some
loophole, a sympathetic heart at Google, etc.

Message-ID: <MON.16.APR.2007.123835.0600.BHUDSPETHEDAC.UNM.EDU>

Hello,

I am using Mapserver 4.10.1 on Red Hat Enterprise 3.

I am trying to display a GRASS raster image with WMS time support. I
have created a tileindex using gdaltindex, imported the tileindex
shapefile into PostGIS, and added a timestamp column containing the date
and hour in an acceptable format (e.g. 2007-04-16 01:00:00).

My mapfile entries for the tileindex, and raster layer are:

#*****LAYER - TILE INDEX FOR PM2.5 RASTERS (Time sensitive)

Note how the raster referenced in the error is different from that

No. I jumped into this thread trying to get a better understanding of
Google's restrictions on the use of their map content, and I think
you've provided a pretty clear explanation.

Is a road sign a combination of a base sign and then an identifier (e.g.
road number)? If so then
you can build those using a  combination of classes (to define the base
sign) and a label. This is the
standard way of handling road signs.

The other idea, that is,  SYMBOL [signcolumn] will be possible in 5.0
(see RFC 19) but might become
problematic from a performance perspective.

I'm resubmitting this with the hopes that someone may yet have some
insight... However, there is one change to the .map file, but the result
is the same... I've added a TEMPLATE statement in the LAYER object...
Below is the new .map object:

<=== Mapfile US-Senate-prct-imgmap.map ===>

    END

            END
        END
    END

END # End MAP def
<=====================>

The template looks like this:

<=== Mapfile US-Senate-prct-imgmap.map ===>
<area shape="poly" coords="[shpxy precision=0 proj=image]"
href="http://www.google.com">
<=====================>

And the .php snippet looks like this:

<=== php file code snippet ===>
$imgmap = ms_newMapObj(
"C:\\ms4w\\Apache\\htdocs\\postgis\\US-Senate-prct-imgmap.map" );
$imgmap->setExtent($myrow['xmin'],$myrow['ymin'],$myrow['xmax'],$myrow['
ymax']);
$imgmap->selectOutputFormat("imagemap");
$imgmapimg = $imgmap->draw();
$imgmapurl = $imgmapimg->saveWebImage();
<=====================>

The map output file looks the same:

<=== Mapfile output (46140b8f_dec_0.html) ===>
<map name="map1" width="680" height="510"> </map>
<=====================>

Hi All,

I've tried again, and got closer... Below are the PHP code and the
mapfile code, along with the output.  I'm rendering MN counties, so I
want to output 87 polygons worth of image coordinates defining the
counties.  I know that, as opposed to the html template approach, that I
haven't defined any way via PHP to specify the coords (like using the
[shpXY ...] parts of the html template).  Can anyone help me add code to
output a line with the correct coordinates (one record per query result)
to process each polygon imagemap output and output customized lines into
the <map> file?  That would be code similar to the template example on
the mapserver website that substitutes values into the template for
[...] once for each query result and appends to the output like in the
following:

<area shape="poly" coords="[shpxy precision=0 proj=image]"
href="http://my.url/mypage.cfm?ID=[SITE_ID]" title="[NAME]"
alt="[NAME]">

(this template example is at

The PHP MapScript saveWebImage doc is at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/phpmapscript-class/classes/i
mageobj

The Wiki page that you were looking at needs comes from the old/frozen
wiki so it's out of date and will never be updated. The saveWebImage
method doesn't take any arguments any more. Instead, you have to pick
your output format using selectOutputFormat() before the draw() call.

Something like this might work:

$imgmap = ms_newMapObj( "C:\\ms4w\\Apache\\htdocs\\postgis\\imgmap.map"
);

$imgmap->selectOutputFormat("imagemap");
$imgmapimg = $imgmap->draw();
$imgmapurl = $imgmapimg->saveWebImage();

Subject: Conversion to Lat/Lon from EPSG:54004?
Message-ID: <MON.16.APR.2007.151617.0400.KHOLBROOKGWI.NET>

Hi,

Does anyone have Javascript code to convert to Lat/Lon from EPSG:54004?

I found the following, but I'm not sure if it's correct. Also, I assume 
that I'd use two different radii for the R values below: for x, R = 
6378137.0 m; for y, R = 6356752.3142 m.

x = R(lon_rad)
y = R ln [tan((pi/4)+lat_rad/2)]

where R=radius of a sphere in map units, lon_rad=longitude in radians
(rad=deg/57.2957795), lat_rad=latitude in radians,  pi=3.14159..., 
ln=natural
log, x and y in meters.

If this is correct, then:

lon_degrees = x_meters / 6378137.0 * 57.2957795
lat_degrees = ??? [sorry my math skills are a bit out of date]

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Kirk

As a follow up to this problem it looks like ms4w does not support 
absolute paths to font files in the fontset.txt file and that paths MUST 
be relative to the fontset.txt file.

This is NOT the way the linux code works and it makes it difficult to 
mightrate applications from one environmant to the other. This should 
probably be a bug but bugzilla is down for the count.

Hi Guys,

I was determined to get this running without asking for assistance, but as I
fall deeper into a realm of despair I find myself requiring the help of
people who know what they are doing.

I have setup MapServer on a CentOS box and I need it to only act as a WFS
server only. I have a spatial table in a MySQL db that has the information
required.

When I run ogrinfo -al on the test.ovf file with my db connection in it, it
returns the data (successfully?) Here is an example;

OGRFeature(blah):462
  ASTEXT(geometry) (String) = POINT(151.20387911797 -33.874637911661)

But, when I try to access it through the GetFeature service, I get bugger all. 

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

This is the content of my map file;

The EXTENT is only for testing. The epsg used is for Australia.

Subject: mapserver bugzilla not reachable?
Message-ID: <MON.16.APR.2007.223344.0500.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

Hi all: Compromised is probably a bit harsh. Our bugzilla instance was hit with some bug-spam. The contents were objectionable, the UMN noticed and shut down the network connection for that server (and the main mapserver site, although that was restored). While I have cleaned out the nasty bits, we (the MapServer TSC) have decided that now would be a good time to consider moving the bug tracking off the UMN servers to OSGeo infrastructure. The bugzilla instance at the UMN was particularly fragile, for instance, I have to physically go to the University to access the server- a major pain. A conversion is being tested right now and I hope we can be up on OSGeo servers very soon. If it looks like the conversion won't be smooth we'll restore bugzilla access at the UMN in the interim. Stay tuned...

The bugzilla system was compromised and is offline. We are also looking 
to migrate over to OSGwo/trac for bug tracking. I'm sure there will be 
an announcement when things are back online, look for that. I do not 
know what the timeline for this will be.

Message-ID: <TUE.17.APR.2007.001619.0500.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

Hi Folks: As part of the slow movement towards OSGeo membership the project needs to form what is called a "Project Steering Committee" (PSC) to formalize decision making. The closest thing to a MapServer PSC is the current MapServer "Technical Steering Committee" (TSC).  That body has been in place for several years and it has served as a model for a number of other projects putting their PSC's together. There is draft Request For Comment available for, well, comment that would transition the MapServer TSC to the MapServer PSC. I would welcome any and all comments from community members regarding this proposal. See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-23/ for more information.

Thanks!

Message-ID: <TUE.17.APR.2007.123444.0200.CANDALTONLINE.NO>

Hello

I am using MapServer to fetch some WMS TIME dependent data. I then use the METADATA element "wms_time" to spesify my WMS TIME date within my layer. Eg.

METADATA
	"wms_server_version" "1.1.1"
	"wms_srs"                  "EPSG:32633"
	"wms_name"              "rr"
	"wms_format"            "image/png"
	"wms_time"	"2007-04-17"
END

This works great...

But are there an equal parameter for spesifying the WMS ELEVATION elemet in the METADATA section? E.g.

METADATA
"wms_elevation"  "100"
END

Hi there,

  From your request paramter (layers=dream_pm25), I am assuming that you 
are trying to access the 2nd layer in your example. What is the content 
of your tileindex file "pm25_time_index" ? Is there  a reference to the 
D031007_t21.pm25_raw file in there ?  I am assuming at this point that 
Grass is built into GDAL and your are able to load it properly (using 
something like gdalinfo and your grass raster, should let you know if it 
opens properly).

Subject: Tile image with polygons got vertical line at the edge
Message-ID: <TUE.17.APR.2007.104903.0400.EFUJIOKADUKE.EDU>

Hello experts,

I have a weird problem that Mapserver images get one pixel wide vertical 
lines when they contain shapefiles that extend beyond the images 
(shapefiles are cut at the edge of the images).

I'm developing a Google Maps application in which Mapserver layers are 
overlaid. As Google Map requests tiles of the map image, Mapserver sends 
them back. This usually works excellent. But when a tile has a shapefile 
extending beyond it, the tile got a kind of border line visible.

Please see the screen shot. You'll see two vertical lines 256-pixel 
apart (which is the tile size).
http://seamap.env.duke.edu:8888/dev/cache/misc/tile_edge_lines.jpg


I tried PNG and GIF with the same results. This should have nothing to 
do with Google Maps because I still see the line when pulling the tile 
image directly onto the browser.
Polygons are added to the map with PHP/Mapscript. Transparency, fill 
color and outline color are set.
   $layer->set('transparency',"30");
   ...
   $poStyle = ms_newStyleObj($class_tmp);
   $poStyle->outlinecolor->setRGB(255,0,0);
   $poStyle->color->setRGB(200, 100, 0);

Any workaround?


MapServer version 4.2.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=PDF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT

Hello Ei,

Have you looked at ka-map or preferably openLayers? OpenLayers allows 
you to easily merge mapserver and Google into a single application and 
does all the heavy lifting.

Regarding your extra lines, this is might be cause by the fact that the 
polygon is getting clipped to the extents of your tile. You might try 
setting the OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 for the polygon layer so that it is 
not draw. I do not think you would run into these problems with OpenLayers.

Anyone has any hint, URL links suggestions?

Thanks Steve,

Unfortunately, OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1 doesn't work. It seems the vertical 
line gets the color of the polygon fill color, not outline color.

Yes, I have been looking into OpenLayers. It's a interesting project but 
not yet mature enough to build full-featured online mapping application 
(producing legend, changing symbol color on the fly, identify, filter by 
attributes etc.).

Anyway, I gave it a try. But the same results. See the screen shot.

http://seamap.env.duke.edu:8888/dev/cache/misc/tile_edge_lines_ol.jpg


As I said, I see the line when I directly get the image from Mapserver, 
suggesting this is a problem of Mapserver itself.

Both OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer and Google Map's GTileLayer simply grab 
images from Mapserver. In this regard, it is understandable that both 
end up with the same results.

Well, this might help a bit. The following is the classes we use for our
roads. It gives a very nice look, similar to Google's if not quite the
same. It uses the CFCC to classify the roads: interstates, highways,
streets, ...

it's an old question, but... there's no way to get extents for only one
polygon inside a shp?

i have one shp with all cities from one country. i want to do the query and
return only the capital's extent, only as example.

thanks

sorry. just figured that [shpxy] returns extents for each polygon.

thanks again :)

Subject: Problems with WMS time support
Message-ID: <TUE.17.APR.2007.151236.0500.BHUDSPETHEDAC.UNM.EDU>

Hello,

Thanks for responding. I am indeed trying to access the second layer in my
example. By the way, I am following the example given in the "How To"
section of the Mapserver web site. The tileindex "pm25_time_index" refers to
a table in Postgres/PostGIS that stores paths (in the column "location") to
GRASS raster files. It has a timestamp column named "datetime" that stores
the date and hour requested in the WMS request. The setup of that table
looks like this:

Fields: oid (oid), gid (integer), location (string), the_geom (geometry),
rundate(timestamp), datetime(timestamp)
Example data:  6309363 |  198 |
/home/apache/western_us/20070312/cellhd/D031207_t01.pm25_raw | "geometry
string here" | 2007-03-12 00:00:00 | 2007-03-12 01:00:00

There IS a reference to the "D031007_t21.pm25_raw" file in there, but I
don't know why it would stand out, since there are some 1200 other records
in that table, and I make no other reference to this date and time in the
WMS request, nor in the map file.

And finally, yes GRASS is built into GDAL - I can successfully run gdalinfo
on any of the GRASS rasters that are recorded in the Postgres table.

Thanks again,  Bill

Is there a key to the layout of the Mapserver log file anywhere.  Most of it
is easily figured out but a complete key would be helpful.

Subject: MS 4.10.1 php_mapscript build problem on FreeBSD 6.2
Message-ID: <WED.18.APR.2007.084711.0800.BENREMOTEINFORMATION.COM.AU>

G'day all,

I have successfully built MapServer 4.10 on FreeBSD 6.2 (my first  
attempt at UNIX building, so very excited although it didn't like the  
flash support so I dropped it)

I realised however that I hadn't built the php-mapscript module,  
which is my main interface for development, so back I went, and added  
it to my config file (using Howard Butler's suggestion) to be :

./configure     --with-freetype=/usr/local/bin \
                 --with-png=/usr/local/lib \
                 --with-jpeg=/usr/local \
                 --with-libiconv=/usr/local \
                 --with-geos=/usr/local/bin/geos-config \
                 --with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
                 --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config \
                 --with-httpd=/usr/local/sbin/httpd \
                 --with-wfsclient \
                 --with-wmsclient \
                 --enable-debug \
                 --with-curl-config=/usr/local/bin/curl-config \
                 --with-proj=/usr/local \
                 --with-pdf=/usr/local \
                 --with-tiff=/usr/local \
                 --with-threads \
                 --with-fastcgi \
                 --with-wcs \
                 --with-postgis=/usr/local/database/bin/pg_config \
                 --with-php=/usr/local/include/php/ \
                 --with-xml2-config=/usr/bin/xml2-config  # new in 4.10


So configure worked, a quick make clean and then off we go again,  
until this... (I'm afraid I don't really understand what most of it  
means)

Stop in /usr/local/mapserver-4.10.1.

So now it doesn't work. I don't understand the significance of - 
lfcgi, or why it has become a problem now with the  inclusion of the  
--with-php flag.

My system includes :

Apache/2.2.4 (FreeBSD) Server built:   Apr 10 2007 22:15:11
PHP 5.2.1 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Apr 11 2007

and my build directory is /usr/local/mapserver-4.10.1

I guess my first question has to be will php_mapscript work with php 5?

and then ... what is -lfcgi? (and how can I get it?)

cheers

Ben

-lfcgi is the fastcgi library. You can see if you have it loaded with 
something like:

locate libfcgi

probably should be at /usr/local/lib/libfcgi*

if it is there, or somewhere on your system, check to make sure its path 
is in /etc/ld.so.conf and run as root ldconfig and try again.

I didn't see anyone post an answer so just in case. Take a look at the ENCODING parameter in the LABEL object.

Hi,

The ENCODING parameter converts the character string into UTF-8, so I
don't think it will be very helpful if the original string is in UTF-8
already.

Just make sure that the font set that is being used can handle UTF-8
characters. Also, if the data is in a different character set before
it was imported into a UTF-8 PostgreSQL db, make sure that the
"\encoding" command is used before importing.

mario.

Please drop this list a few lines when it works because I would like

you plan to use jails.

Thank you Steve,

I have mod_fastcgi for apache, this was installed through the FreeBSD  
ports system, and all very happily. but I didn't end up with a  
libfcgi anywhere I can find (I have mod_fastcgi.so in my /usr/local/ 
libexec/apache22 directory)

I notice in the configure I actually had this :

configure: checking whether FastCGI support should be enabled...
checking for FCGI_Accept in -lfcgi... no
configure: checking HTTPD server (Apache) version...
         using user-supplied httpd (/usr/local/sbin/httpd)
         /usr/local/sbin/httpd version is Apache/2.2.4 (2002004).
Compiling with fast MS_NINT
checking compiler warnings... basic

so maybe I never had fastcgi last time around. Do I need to get a  
different fastcgi from somewhere else, or did something maybe not go  
quite right?

cheers

Ben

Hello,

brings up a window holding the map in  format more conducive for printing. 
the problem is that I don't know how to get the main map image to transfer

Ben,

Sounds like it might be a freeBSD bug in mapserver .configure script. 
You requested --with-fastcgi and I would think that since it did not 
find it is should have dropped the -lfcgi, but did not. You should 
probably write this up as a bug.

fastcgi is on little or no benefit unless you are using oracle and need 
  connection pooling. So try to configure --without-fastcgi ot just 
remove the --with-fastcgi option. If one fails try the other.

Subject: trim space
Message-ID: <WED.18.APR.2007.113107.0400.ERNESVEGAGMAIL.COM>

Hi everyone. I have a small problem and i hope you can help me to find
out what can be done for it. I have a shapefile with many fields and
one of them is like this:

---------------------------
Terizq: Real (8.0)
---------------------------

The fact is that the actual data on the shapefile does not have that
amount of digits, so i get a large space before the number on the
image generated by mapserver.

So here is the question: How can i trim the data on a LABEL defined
like this (the field "Iniizq" has the same definition as the one i
described)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
    TEXT ([Iniizq]-[Terizq] [Nombre])
    EXPRESSION ([Iniizq] > 0 OR [Terizq] > 0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

If you can let me know where to look the answer i would appreciate

thanks in advance

The URL for the current image is held in a variable in the mapserv obj (e.g. ms.url) so
you just need to reference or pass that value in the print window.

You also might want to check out the section "Spatial and Attribute

using CONNECTIONTYPE OGR in your layer if I remember correctly).

Subject: style/color based on feature values?
Message-ID: <WED.18.APR.2007.132225.0400.ROB.BRASWELLUNH.EDU>

Hi-

I'd like to assign polygon colors that are rendered based on the  
value of one of the feature attributes. In my case there are nearly a  
hundred possible discrete classes. I could write a script to generate  
a mapfile layer with a hundred classes, but I'd prefer to make a  
direct link to the shapefile if possible. I hope this question makes  
sense.

It seems like "styleitem" should be the thing to use here, but I have  
not figured out how to make this work.

In any case if someone could post an example of either a continuous  
or discrete rendering of polygon colors based on one of the data  
fields in the shapefile, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Rob Braswell

I would like to map a virtual table, and I am told I can do it without
declaring an ODBC.using the following mapfile layer definition:

 

  LAYER

    NAME "Fire Data"

    GROUP "Fire Data"

    STATUS on

    TYPE point

    CONNECTIONTYPE OGR

    CONNECTION "<OGRVRTDataSource>

                                     <OGRVRTLayer  name='firegis'>


                                       <SrcLayer>mapsonline.csv</SrcLayer>


                                       <GeometryField
encoding='PointFromColumns' x='XCOORD' y='YCOORD'/>            

                                       <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>

                                     </OGRVRTLayer>

                                   </OGRVRTDataSource>"

    TEMPLATE "ttt"

    TOLERANCE 4

    CLASS

      NAME "Fire Data"


      SYMBOL "circle"

      OUTLINECOLOR 80 80 80

      COLOR 219 0 0

      SIZE 12

    END

  END

 

 

But this fails.  Do I need an ODBC..or is it true I can access a text file
directly in this manner.  The data is being placed with all my other
shapefiles (ie. in the same folder).

 

Also, can the .csv file just as easily be a .txt file..and can the entries

I would simplify it down for testing purposes.  
 
If you don't already have it, download FWTools and use shp2img against
your mapfile to see if you can get it to draw.  
 
To narrow it even further, I would start by  running ogrinfo against
your virtual datasource to see if you can get data out of it.

I put the full path in..and I got the map to draw.  However, all layers draw
EXCEPT the points from this virtual table.

 

I did notice that not all records in the table have x and y values...could
that be an issue?

 

Also..the x and y values are not lat/long.but rather a state plane system.
So too is the entire project, so I am assuming this is alright and I don't
need a <LayerSRS> set of tags.

Kevin,

  Look at the document : 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_time_support/#interpreting-time-values

It shows how to set up time expressions (using backtics to indicate it 
is a time expression, a simple example could be something like 
(`[time_field]` eq `2004-10-12`)

There is also http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/msexpressions . 
There might be other docs but I could not locate them.

Kevin,

I *think* that the records will the x and/or y fields left NULL
should just result in features with no geometry.  I believe that
MapServer would just ignore these.  But I'm not absolutely sure of
this.

MapServer never uses the coordinate system offered by OGR (or any other
datasource) so you never need LayerSRS for MapServer's use.  If everything
in your map is in the same coordinate system you shouldn't need to declare
the projection at all.  If there is a mix of coordinate systems you would
need to declare them carefully with PROJECTION blocks.  I believe I'm just
confirming your existing understanding.

Best regards,

Message-ID: <WED.18.APR.2007.211508.0500.DAVIDITBEYOND.COM.AU>

I have been testing MS 4.10.0 and 4.10.1 and have found that the Memory 
Leak issue identifed in 4.10.0 still exists in 4.10.1 when running the C# 
mapserver dlls and Mapscript.

Now I am using vb.net for the code development. I have released the code 
live today and found it ran for 30mins before it consumed over 1Gb of system 
memory. The code I am using is as follows:

There are two subs that inerface to MS one to display images and the other 
to process form data and run a query:

    Private Sub DisplayImage(ByVal RefineImage As Boolean)
        Dim imageLoc, RefimageLoc As String
        If RefineImage Then
            ' This is a refined query - show number of results to the screen and 
also the refined map
            imageLoc = "/Uploads/iMapPlot/tmp/" & Math.Abs(Now.ToBinary) 
& ".gif"
            RefimageLoc = "/Uploads/iMapPlot/tmp/Ref" & Math.Abs
(Now.ToBinary) & ".gif"
            MSMap = New mapObj(MapFile())
            MSMap.setExtent(CurrentExtent.minx, CurrentExtent.miny, 
CurrentExtent.maxx, CurrentExtent.maxy)
            Dim Refineimg As imageObj
            Dim Referenceimg As imageObj
            If MapLayers <> "" Then
                Dim layerElements As String() = Split(MapLayers, ",")
                Dim layer As String
                Dim lyr As layerObj
                For Each layer In layerElements
                    lyr = MSMap.getLayerByName(layer)
                    lyr.status = STATUS_VALUES.MS_ON
                    If layer = "Places" Then
                        lyr.data = "..\ExplorOz\Places\" & PlacesPOIName
                        Dim sty As styleObj = lyr.getClass(0).getStyle(0)
                        sty.setSymbolByName
(MSMap, "../../Images/PointPlace/symbols/" & PlacesPOIImage & ".gif")
                    End If
                Next
            End If
            Refineimg = MSMap.draw
            Refineimg.save(Server.MapPath(imageLoc), Nothing)
            Refineimg.Dispose()
            Referenceimg = MSMap.drawReferenceMap
            Referenceimg.save(Server.MapPath(RefimageLoc), Nothing)
            Referenceimg.Dispose()
            CurrentExtent.maxx = MSMap.extent.maxx
            CurrentExtent.minx = MSMap.extent.minx
            CurrentExtent.maxy = MSMap.extent.maxy
            CurrentExtent.miny = MSMap.extent.miny
            MSMap.Dispose()
            MainMap.Src = imageLoc
            refimg.Src = RefimageLoc
        Else
            imageLoc = "/Uploads/iMapPlot/Cache/" & Replace(Mid(MapFile, 
InStrRev(MapFile, "\") + 1), ".map", "_" & Replace(MapLayers, ",", "") &

            If Not System.IO.File.Exists(Server.MapPath(imageLoc)) Or Not 
System.IO.File.Exists(Server.MapPath(RefimageLoc)) Then
                Dim img As imageObj
                Dim Referenceimg As imageObj
                MSMap = New mapObj(MapFile())

                    Next
                End If
                img = MSMap.draw
                img.save(Server.MapPath(imageLoc), Nothing)
                img.Dispose()
                Referenceimg = MSMap.drawReferenceMap
                Referenceimg.save(Server.MapPath(RefimageLoc), Nothing)
                Referenceimg.Dispose()
                MSMap.Dispose()
            End If
            MainMap.Src = imageLoc
            refimg.Src = RefimageLoc
        End If
        map.Value = MapFile()
        layer.Value = MapLayers
    End Sub

    Private Sub Query()
        Dim result As Integer
        Dim lyr As layerObj
        MSMap = New mapObj(MapFile())
        lyr = MSMap.getLayerByName(SearchLayer)
        MSMap.setExtent(CurrentExtent.minx, CurrentExtent.miny,

        If SearchLayer = "Places" Then lyr.data = "..\ExplorOz\Places\" &

        Dim s As New System.Text.StringBuilder

        result = lyr.queryByRect(MSMap, CurrentExtent)

        If result = RESULT_CODE.MS_SUCCESS Then
            Dim resCache As resultCacheObj = lyr.getResults

            If resCache.numresults > 0 Then
                Dim shp As shapeObj
                Dim fName As String
                lyr.open()
                NumResults = resCache.numresults
                For i As Integer = 0 To resCache.numresults - 1
                    shp = lyr.getFeature(resCache.getResult(i).shapeindex, 
resCache.getResult(i).tileindex)
                    For iItem As Integer = 0 To lyr.numitems - 1
                        fName = lyr.getItem(iItem)
                        If fName = "ID" Then s.Append(shp.getValue(iItem) & ",")
                    Next
                    shp.Dispose()
                Next
                If s.Length > 1 Then s.Remove(s.Length - 1, 1)
                lyr.close()
            End If

            'If SearchLayer = "Places" Then
            '    Response.Write(NumResults)
            '    Response.Write("<br />" & s.ToString)
            '    Exit Sub
            'End If
            lyr.Dispose()
            MSMap.Dispose()
End Sub

You will see that I dispose every element I create, this has been tried on two 
servers (and the production system - dual cpu, 2GB ram) - I do stress the 
application with hundreds of users per hour. The exception thrown is as 
follows:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Any thoughts or help on this would be great, I have invested a heap of time 
on this interface and do not want to go back to calling the cgi system as it is 
slower - I am using the pre-compiled binaries in the MS4W package as 
downloaded two days ago.

Subject: MS 4.10.1 php_mapscript build problem on FreeBSD 6.2
 (Apache/php5)
In-Reply-To: <4626164C.4010907@swoodbridge.com>
Message-ID: <THU.19.APR.2007.142110.0800.BENREMOTEINFORMATION.COM.AU>

(Thanks again Steve, fastcgi dropped, that got me over the lfcgi hurdle)

G'day all,

Step by Step, now I am into the php build, and more errors - I  
suspect related to the switch into the php3 directory? (I have php5)

I have attached the terminal output from where it starts to go  
wrong... sorry it is a rather long attachment, and I suspect it is  
mostly redundant, but if anyone had any ideas I would be very grateful.

again, this is using MS4.10.1 on Apache/2.2.4 (FreeBSD) mod_ssl/2.2.4  
OpenSSL/0.9.7e-p1 DAV/2 PHP/5.2.1 with Suhosin-Patch

cheers

Ben

Subject: MapServer 4.10.1 Memory Leak still exists
In-Reply-To: <LISTSERV%200704182115082856.163A@LISTS.UMN.EDU>

Martin,
how many layers do you have on your map and which kind are they
(shape, oracle, spatial, postigs, etc)?

If, by chance, you had a linux mapserver installation it would help if
you could run valgrind (a memory leak detector for Linux) on the map
file with the following command:

valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=full ./shp2img -m
YOURMAPHERE.map -o ~/Desktop/test.png

and post the output.

Hi,

Great jobs!

I will be interesting to translate it. Is it possible to get the original file 
for translation (in french)?

Thanks,

Y.

Hi Yves,

The original is a PowerPoint file and it's not possible to upload it to
OSGEO.

So, I'll send it directly to your personal e-mail.

If anybody else need it, feel free to ask me by mail : e ~ patto ~ kanegae ~

regards,

Subject: Are Inline Features queryable?
Message-ID: <THU.19.APR.2007.150725.0200.ANTHONY.K.FARRANTGMAIL.COM>

Hi people,

I have a layer with *INLINE FEATURES* and was wondering what attributes
I should add to make it queryable.

I'm getting the error: msINLINELayerGetShape(): No inline feature
How do I create or simulate an attribute within this inline layer?

Thanks in advance,

A


This is my code:

In-Reply-To: <008701c781e0$c0420cc0$40c62640$@com>
Message-ID: <THU.19.APR.2007.092901.0400.DMORISSETTEMAPGEARS.COM>

For the record, we have figured part of the mystery offlist, it turns 
out the VRT definition had two problems:

1- Missing required <SrcDataSource> (path to the .csv file)

2- <SrcLayer> was wrong (layer name for CSV sources is only the basename 
of the .csv file)

With the above fixes "ogrinfo" could read the data, but we still do not 
see the points on the map, however converting the VRT to a shapefile 
does work for the same layer... that's another mystery to solve.

Message-ID: <THU.19.APR.2007.100659.0400.TRAVISKIRSTINEGMAIL.COM>

I have created indexes on several shpfiles  using ogr with the -sql
command CREATE INDEX ON table USING fieldname.  Currently the shpfiles
are referenced by a tileindex using TILEINDEX/TILEITEM in the mapfile.
 When performing a query by attribute on the indexed field does
mapserver make use of the index?

Subject: postgis cyclic performance hit
Message-ID: <THU.19.APR.2007.170019.0200.RDMAILINGSDUIF.NET>

Hi List,
I'm running a developer machine windows, postgis/mapserver.

It contains one small layer (50 points).

If I run a ogc-mapserver request (in a browser) for an image of those 
points, the performance behaves strange:
- about 10 responses ok: about a few hundred milliseconds
- then one VERY slow one: about 4 seconds
repeating that every 9-14 requests

created gist index on geometry layer
created btree index on id column
gave postgresql some more memory

still the same result.

QUESTION:
- any people running mapserver/postgis on a windows machine and having 
good response times
- somebody a clue to this cyclic 'bad response time' behaviour?

Thanks

Richard Duivenvoorde

specifying ./configure --with-php=DIR will compile php-mapscript along
with Mapserver.  It has been included in the Mapserver download for some
time now.

After compiling Mapserver, copy the php_mapscript.so file created into
your PHP library/extension/module directory (you can find that in the
php.ini file under extension_dir="PATH"

Subject: AW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] No drawing of certain polygon rings
 stroed in Oracle Spatial
In-Reply-To: <4626027F.1010001@univali.br>
Message-ID: <THU.19.APR.2007.175659.0200.SCHOENHAMMER.HERBERTREGENSBURG.DE>

Hi Fernando,

I'm in hurry, but a short report of my results:

1.
==
Yes, the validate function returns true !

2.
==
After using SDO_GEOM.SDO_ARC_DENSIFY geometries with SDO_ELEM_INFO (1;1003;1 ...) are built. These geometries are drawn by mapserver. (Of Course; now these geometries are simple polygons, connected by stright lines.)

3.
==
I really don't understand the 'arc_tolerance= xx' parameter of this function. Chosing them very big, smaller, .... smallest, ... I NEVER could create a simpler object, which is an approximation of the original geometry. (A polygon with 5 edges is NO approximation of a circle). So I have to play with this command. (I don't understand the dependencies of the tolerance-value in the diminfo-array of the layer at this point of time )

regards
Herbert

Travis,

I believe the attribute filter is still "set" on each shapefile in turn
by the code in mapogr.cpp so the answer should be yes.  I'd warn that
the attribute filtering is only passed off to OGR in some circumstances,
such as when the filter clause starts with the WHERE keyword.  Old style
filters are evaluated entirely within MapServer instead of OGR and won't
benefit from the indexes even though you are using CONNECTIONTYPE OGR.

Hopefully the OGR howto touches on this issue.

Best regards,

Subject: postgis cyclic performance hit
Message-ID: <THU.19.APR.2007.224218.0200.ROMOLOMANHOTMAIL.COM>

The informations are very few, but such a behaviour may depends on several
factors like:
Few postgres connections
then  if you are using apache
bad configuration of apache (few childs)
fast recycling of  servers (respaning child too often)
are you using the cgi directly or some interface ?
on my developer machine using winxp / apache / php / postgres / postgis /
phpmapscript and persistent connections never had cyclic performance hits
and response times are rather good with very large layers.
BTW I had to patch tcpip.sys for half-open connection issues (1000
connections allowed) as I had issues while testing with firefox configured
for maximum performances.

Message-ID: <THU.19.APR.2007.234156.0200.VOLPICELLIOATO.INAF.IT>

Hi ,
I am new of mapserver. I am using mapserver for an astronomic 
application and I would like to use Mollweide projection ( epsg:54009).
I am able to draw the graticule ( the ellipse  )  using this layer 
inside mapfile.
First of all in the top of mapfile I defined these :
MAP
   NAME ASTRO
   STATUS ON

   #EXTENT -180 -90 180  90    EXTENT -18000000 -9000000 18000000 9000000
     UNITS dd
   #IMAGECOLOR 0 123 123
   TRANSPARENT ON
   SHAPEPATH "G:/GalexData/TestPoint"
   CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "E:/ms4w/proj/nad/"
.    PROJECTION
           "init=epsg:54009"
     END

.
.
.

The layer definition for the graticule:

LAYER
  NAME "Grid"
  METADATA
    "DESCRIPTION" "Grid"
  END
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS OFF
  CLASS
    NAME "Graticule"
    COLOR 123 123 123
 END
 PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:4326"
     #"init=epsg:54009"
 END
 GRID
   MAXARCS 1
   MAXINTERVAL 15
 END
END # Layer


So this work but I don't really understand why I have to define the 
EXTENT as -18000000 -9000000 18000000 9000000 and not as -180 -90 180  90
and in the layer "Grid" definition I cannot define the init=epsg:54009 
but init=epsg:4326 . If I use 54009 , mapserver goes in stall , it gets 
98% of CPU and don't end never.
If now I want draw one polygon shape on this map and I use this layer :
LAYER
 NAME "TestPoint"
 TYPE POLYGON
 STATUS ON

 DATA TestPoint
 PROJECTION
       "init=epsg:4326"
 END

 LABELITEM 'tilename'
 DUMP true

 CLASS
   NAME "TestPoint"
   STYLE
     SIZE 2
     OUTLINECOLOR 123 123 123
     COLOR 0 0 255
       END
   LABEL
     MINFEATURESIZE 200
   END

 END

  METADATA
     GML_INCLUDE_ITEMS "tilename,survey,ra,dec,nuvexptime,fuvexptime"
     WMS_SERVER_VERSION "1.1.1"
     WMS_FORMAT "image/png"
     WMS_TITLE "Galex AIS Survey"
     WMS_ABSTRACT "SDSS DR3 imaging level 0"
     WMS_SRS "EPSG:4326"
     WMS_NAME "TestPoint"
    #WMS_FORCE_SEPARATE_REQUEST "0"       END
    END

and here too , I have to use epsg:4326 and not 54009.

There are someone that could help me about this and If I want to change 
the projection from Mollweide to Aitoff  , is it possible and supported 
by mapserver.
Thanks
Antonio

Antonio,

  The values in the EXTENT must be in the units of the
PROJECTION, so I'm suprised that with "UNITS dd" it works at
all.  The units of the MAP should be "UNITS meters".  An
EXTENT of
"-18000000 -9000000 18000000 9000000" meters is an ok place
to start when you want to show the entire globe.

    The GRID objects have sparse documentation.  The MAXARCS
object specifies the maximum number of lines you want shown
on your map (in one direction), so MAXARCS 1 will try to
draw only one line.  From my notes MAXINTERVAL is "The
maximum number of intervals to try to use.  The distance
between the lines, in layer(?) units.  Most commonly changed
parameter."  Since its in the layer's units, using a
MAXINTERVAL 15 with EPSG:54009 would try to draw a line
every 15 meters (waay too many!), but with EPSG:4326 (a
geographic coordinate system with units of degrees), it
would try to draw one every 15 degrees (much more
reasonable).


    Mapserver uses Proj4 for the coordinate systems
operations.  You may want to look on the Proj4 web site
(http://proj.maptools.org/), but I believe it does support
Aitoff.

Hi Romolo,
sorry, you are right, I didn't provide very much info; Here is some extra:
My developer machine: WinXP, Microsoft IIS (!), postg*
Production: Winows Server 2003, IIS, postg* (client is running IIS, so 
final configuration should use IIS...)
Running mapserver as cgi in IIS.


I've done some more experimenting no:
- running the same posgresql-layers in APACHE on same machine is ok
- running a geotiff OR shape layer in IIS is ok

So it must have to do something with the 
IIS/mapserver/postgislayer-combination.

Looking at cpu-performance of memory, I do not see excess use of either 
of them.
But it looks like IIS must clean up something (cache, connections I 
don't know) after every 10 mapserver-cgi requests if the map contains 
postgis layers???
Only for the postgis layers, all other layers are fine??

I suppose there are more people who have deployed an 
mapserver/iis/postgis combi isn't it?

Message-ID: <FRI.20.APR.2007.015035.0500.DAVIDITBEYOND.COM.AU>

Umberto,

The data type is shape. The number of active layers depends on zoom level 
however in the map file there is a total of 39 layer definitions, with between 
10 and 30 active at any one time. The queries are run only in one layer.

I have done some more work on the system and improved the operation by 
caching commonly used images. You can have a look at the application live if 
you wish - it is an infant however running live (I note it is crashed at the 
moment so must recycle app pool - which is in the process of being done). To 
see it running visit http://www.exploroz.com/Places/Find/CaravanPark.asp?
ms=1 - The initial map is cached so use mouse and draw a box to run a query -
 you will either see the crash message or a refined result set.

The application is running on a Win 2003 server so no access to Linux tools. I 
have been using the same .map file with the CGI interface for a few years and 
never had problem at all.  
I note that I can run the cgi mapserver process after the system has reported 
the .net memory allocation error. A sample of the CGI interface using the 
same .map file is as follows http://www.exploroz.com/cgi-
bin/MapServer/MapServ.exe?mode=browse&map=e:\\inetpub\\vs126169
\\iMapPlot\\map\\ExplorOzBase.map&map_PointRef_feature=new&map_PointRef

26.6711&themode=zoomin&MapLabel=Show%20Me%20-%20Adder%20Rock%

Any help would be appreciated.

Message-ID: <FRI.20.APR.2007.103749.0200.CERRUTI.MARCOGMAIL.COM>

Hi all,
I'm a new user of Mapserver. I'm working with MS4W (version 2.2.3) via CGI
and I'm having troubles with queries on classified rasters. Queries on
non-classified rasters work fine, while in cases of classified ones (already
tried several formats: img, bil, tif, png) I get the following error:

msDrawShape(): General error message. Unknown layer type.

If I comment CLASS definitions the same query shows me correct results (one
or more pixels queried, according to the set tolerance, but of course no
information on [class] value).

I post an extract of my mapfile, with the definition of the raster layer and
one of its classes. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with class template (and
layer header/footer ...).

Hoping to receive a little help ... and sorry for my English!

Thanks Brent,
I start to see a bit of light.
So I tried to change units in meters but there is always something not 
clear.

I have :
MAP
    NAME ASTRO
    STATUS ON
    EXTENT -18000000 -9000000 18000000 9000000
    UNITS meters
    TRANSPARENT ON
    SHAPEPATH "G:/GalexData/TestPoint"
    CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "E:/ms4w/proj/nad/"

    PROJECTION
            "init=epsg:54009"  # Mollweide
      END

and at the layer level If I define epsg:54009 with MAXARC=1 and 
MAXINTERVAL=1500000 the graticule is just rectangular grid.
If I define epsg:4326 with MAXARC=1 and MAXINTERVAL=15 I can see the 
whole mollweide sphere.
My application use astronomic data then my shape files data are in sky 
coordinates  ( somenthing like Lon and Lat) .
If I draw using mapserver one of this shape (see LAYER "TestPoints") , 
the objects go in the right position in the Mollweide projection , the 
only thing is that the grid and the data are not using the same projection.
I tried to use Aitoff projection too.
There isn't an epsg code for that, so I inserted one with an unused id .
But here too , in the layer definition I have to use epsg:4326 to plot 
the points in the Aitoff projection but I am not able to draw the grid 
sphere.

Thanks a lot

Antonio

Subject: Change Projection on-the-fly; Using PostGIS - How?
Message-ID: <FRI.20.APR.2007.110247.0200.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

Hi there,

i am struggling since quite a while to set-up a change-projection-on- 
the-fly possibility for our website mapserver. But somehow, I don't  
really have the clue how to do it. Now, making things "worse" (more  
complicated for me) we have migrated from MySql to Postgres/Postgis.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
----

So, first question would be: What code to use to change the  
projection via PHP/Mapscript, should be something like this, I guess:

$newproj=ms_newprojectionObj("proj=robin,lon_0=0,x_0=0,y_0=0");
$latlon=ms_newprojectionObj("+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 
+no_defs");
$oldext=ms_newRectObj();
$oldext->setextent(-180,-90,180,90);  //this is the extent of my map  
in geographic
$oldext->project($latlon,$newproj);  //reproject to Robinson
$map->setextent($oldext->minx,$oldext->miny,$oldext->maxx,$oldext- 
 >maxy);  //set the new map extent

But I guess, something is still missing... (What about $map- 
 >setProjection ?)

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
----

And the second question is: As my mapfile queries the postgis  
database, using "SRID", I guess I need to change that one too, then?  
Instead of 4326 for Geographic I would have to use the one for  
Robinson (or Mollweide or so) ??

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
----

Thanks for giving me any hints...

Stef

At least your spatial queries now have a chance of returning correct answers
:-)

The way I prefer to do this is to have the SQL thrown at Postgis do the
conversion, so mapserver doesn't have to. Thus:
  select transform(the_geom, SRID) 
instead of 
  select the_geom

But that's probably just because I have a SQL/database background, so tend to
do my work there. But it saves the wrestling with mapscript that you're going
through :-)

I'd say you will have to set the projection of the returned map. That
is the projection obj from your mapObj. As you mentioned, there is the
setProjection method:
setProjection( string proj4 ) : int - Set map projection from PROJ.4
definition string proj4.

I'm not sure, but it may be crucial to set the projection of your map
before setting a new projectet extent.

I don't think so, since the data of your layer in PostGIS is in 4326,
your layer projection will also remain 4326. On-the-fly projection
implies that the projection takes place between the layer projections
to the resulting map projection.

Cheers, Michael

Hi,

Somebody in a french forum got an error with mapserver. I tested it with 
mapserv 4.10.1. The problem come from this line in the mapfile :
"wms_contactelectronicmailaddress" "email at domainname.fr"

the GetCapabilities, send this :
<Service>
    [..]
    <ContactInformation> 
<ContactElectronicMailAddress>email at domainname.fr</ContactElectronicMailAddress>
</Service>

As you can see, the </ContactInformation> closed tag does not appear. Is it a 
known bug ?

Thanks in advance.

Yves,

It looks like this is still a bug in the dev version as well.  Reading the code
I believe you can work around this problem by supplying either the
"contactperson" or "contactorganization" metadata as well which causes a
slightly different code path to be used.  I imagine this is why this hasn't
already been commented on.

Please file a bug on this I'm sure Assefa, Tom or someone will fix the code.

Best regards,

Marco,

I think this is a bug in mapserver.  That I did not touch all the
parts of the code I should have when implementing raster query support.

Could you boil this down to a minimum test to demonstrate the problem
and submit a bug report?  If I can easily reproduce the problem with
your test data, I'll try and fix it fairly promptly.

Best regards,

Frank,
thanks for your answer, actually I'm moving this "my-first-MapServer" to a
public host, in order to test it and then make it accessible to a (some)
possible end-user(s). Query on classified rasters was the last thing to fix,
so, as it can't be fixed now, I hope to put everything online in few days,
with contents of mapfile and templates accessible to visitors.

Besides this, tell me what else should I do to let you reproduce the same
problem.

Marco,

I am looking for a bug report with:

  o A minimal map file that can be used to reproduce the problem.  Strip out
    all other layers, fontlists, etc not required to reproduce the problem.
  o If the raster file is large, cut out a small chunk and submit this small
    dataset with the bug report in stead of a large file.
  o The bug report should have the exact url triggering the problem, assuming
    that the problem with was mapserv.exe, not a mapscript script.
  o Make clear how I will know the errors is occuring (presumably the error
    message from msDrawShape()).

The objective is to give me something I can unzip, and then run mapserv
at the commandline with to reproduce the error with at most a minute or
two of fiddling to adjust things to my local environment.

Most bugs languish on the vine because reproducing the original problem is
too hard (or even just *seems* like it might be too hard).

Best regards,

In the LAYER object, the PROJECTION object refers to the
coordinate system of the input data described in the LAYER
object (for example, your data files, or the line segments
generated by the GRID object).  The PROJECTION object for
the MAP object determines the coordinate system of the
output data (the graphic displayed in the browser).  Each
LAYER can have a different PROJECTION definition, and if
they are different from the MAP object's PROJECTION
Mapserver will do the map projection calaculation on-the-fly
(every time it creates the output graphic) to convert all
the input data to the output coordinate system. This is one
of best features of Mapserver.

For Mapserver to put all the data in the right place when it
generates the output graphic, you must correctly define the
coordinate system of the input data in the Map file's LAYER
objects (whoever created the data must tell you which
coordinate system it's in).  The choice of the output
coordinate system (in the MAP object) is entirely up to you.

There's no point in doing that (EPSG is the organization
that defines the codes). Instead use the Proj4 method of
defining the coordinate system:
  PROJECTION
        "proj=aitoff"
        "lon_0=00d"
  END

Your LAYER definitions below and the MAP definition above
are ok.  The only change I would suggest is to set MAXARCS
10 or comment it out and use MAXINTERVAL 30.

Hi,
You'll have to set the projection of all your layers in the mapfile. 
This why changing the projection of the map object won't affect them. 
Then you'll be able to use:
$map->setProjection("proj=robin,lon_0=0,x_0=0,y_0=0", MS_TRUE);

For the PostGIS SRID, you don't have to change anything if you set the 
PROJECTION in your layer.

That's kinda more of a HTML question than a Mapserver question, if I
understand it. Or maybe it's that my answer is more of a HTML answer than
a Mapserver answer... :)

On the purely Mapserver server end, it's not the server's job to know what
you're doing with the info, e.g. frames and all. So you hafta do it on the
HTML side.

The way we handle it is with frames or iframes. We have a frame for
showing query results, and some JavaScript that says "on mouse click,
figure up the query URL and open that URL in this other frame" If you
already have click-queries working, you may get by with just adding a
"target=" attribute to the link.

I also did a quick test of a raster query, with MapServer CGI, with the 
raster classed or not classed, and i get this error:

mapserv(): Web application error. No way to generate a valid map extent 
from selected shapes.

which was reported earlier:

Please file the bug as requested by Frank.

Subject: Expression that detects patterns
Message-ID: <FRI.20.APR.2007.142647.0500.HARTPENCE_GISCO.JASPER.IA.US>

Hello.

I want to perform an ItemQuery that will find a certain string subset whether it 
appears at the beginning, end or middle.  I thought it was something like this: 
('[SUB]' =~ /'[string]'/).  I thought this was how you looked for a goroup of 
letters, but MapServer thinks that [string] is an item.  I used this expression 
with some success: ('[SUB]' =~ /'.string.'/), but this does not give me 
anything that starts or ends with the string; only cases where the string is in 
the middle.

Any help in how to do this would be appreciated.

My mistake, I replied only to Frank.
So here is everything (hopefully) you need to test the bug.

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] MS4W: Queries on classified rasters
To: Frank Warmerdam <warmerdam at pobox.com>

So ...

here's the link to download the zip file:
http://www.marcocerruti.it/MS4W_test.zip

In the zip there are:
- minimal mapfile (only two classified raster layers presenting the problem)
- raster data (a couple of mbytes)
- query templates (problem is on queries, I think you need them)
- map template, html legend template, and a few of necessary files to let
everything properly work (css, images, scripts)

URL triggering the problem:
[yourlocalhost]/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/valgrande_test/vg.map&layer=dem&layer=class_2000&mode=browse
<http://localhost:81/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/valgrande_test/vg.map&layer=dem&layer=class_2000&mode=browse>
Just select query mode (question mark) and try to query these two layers.

Bug reported:
In querying classified raster layers the following error occurs:
*msDrawShape(): General error message. Unknown layer type.*
The same error does not occur if raster layers are not classified.


Thanks in advance,
Marco

Subject: Attributes in tile indexes?
Message-ID: <FRI.20.APR.2007.170255.0500.JDEGEKORTERRA.COM>

I have a shape file that's too big to draw maps with - takes far too
long.

In an attempt to speed things up, I split it into 16 smaller shapefiles,
using:

   ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -spat xmin ymin xmax ymax newXX.shp
old.shp

Then did a shptree on each of these new files, then a shptinidex to
create a single tile index shapefile on them, and tried to build a map.

It works fine, so long as I don't try to display labels.  But if I do, I
get errors:

   msDBFGetItemIndex(): Item 'NAME' not found.

Where "NAME" is the attribute I'm trying to use for the label.  It looks
like the tileindex shapefile doesn't expose the attributes of the
underlying shape tiles.  I've done an ogrinfo on the shapefiles that I'd
generated, and the attributes are there.

Can I expose the attributes through the tileindex?

How?

I have some trouble colouring by an attribute value i/c with a postgis

I want to colour the column cabuty by 3 unique values.
For now I'm trying to make a layer like this:

        END
     	  EXPRESSION "OO"

END

Only the expression 'OO' is coloured, the objects corresponding with
'CL' in the cabuty are not showing up...what am I doing wrong ?

Thanks for helping out !

Hi Steven,

you need to use separate classes, all with 1 expression, so:

    CLASS 
      EXPRESSION "CL" 
      STYLE 
        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 255 
      END 
    END 
    CLASS
      EXPRESSION "OO" 
      STYLE 
        OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 255 
      END 
    END

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Bart

Jeff,

This should just work. There is nothing special you should have to do. I 
do it all the time with my mapfiles. I use shp2tile to break mine up but 
that should not make a difference.

First I would try changing your layer to use just one of the smaller 
shape files without the tileindex and see if that works and that you can 
display the labels.

You might also want to post info about what OS, version of mapserver, 
and the LAYER block in question.

That's a limitation in the logical expression handler. You can't use regex [...] notation in an embedded regex. You can if the regex is a stand-along. For example:

CLASSITEM 'SUB'
CLASS
  EXPRESSION /'[string]'/
END 

That said I think you might need a different regex (you don't need the qoutes either). If you want all features where item foo starts with bar you'd do:

  EXPRESSION /^bar/

If you want one where bar can be anywhere in foo use:

  EXPRESSION /bar/

Hello.

I want to perform an ItemQuery that will find a certain string subset whether it 
appears at the beginning, end or middle.  I thought it was something like this: 
('[SUB]' =~ /'[string]'/).  I thought this was how you looked for a goroup of 
letters, but MapServer thinks that [string] is an item.  I used this expression 
with some success: ('[SUB]' =~ /'.string.'/), but this does not give me 
anything that starts or ends with the string; only cases where the string is in 
the middle.

Any help in how to do this would be appreciated.

Message-ID: <SUN.22.APR.2007.112219.0200.UMBERTO.NICOLETTIGMAIL.COM>

While working on another thing I have found the following leak in
freeClass (mapfile.c, around line 2103) where not all styles are
always freed:

Original code:
  for(i=0;i<class->numstyles;i++) /* LEAK: we should free MS_MAXSTYLES!!! */

Should be:
  for(i=0;i<MS_MAXSTYLES;i++) { /* each style     */

This would leak 180bytes (sizeof(styleObj)=180) for each unused style
of each class of each layer. Mapserver as it is now allocates 200
layers with 250 classes each and each class has 5 styles. Supposing
that one uses only one style for each class the total leak is, for
every new mapObj:

(200*250*4) * 180 = 35K

Please note that is quite likely to represent the lower bound as not
every one will have 250 classes for each layer! At this point You
should be able to estimate if this is more or less the size of the
leak you are experiencing.
In example a map with 30 layers and one class for each layer will leak:

( (30*1*4) + (30*249*5) + (170*250*5) ) * 180 ~ 44Kb

This issue has been fixed in CVS recently, now it is only a matter of
getting it into ms4w. For that you should ask in the ms4w mailing
lists.

Umberto

David,

Would you file a bug report and send your mapfile and shape data and
the input data of the test you've executed? I will try to locate the
problem then.  With the information you have provided I'm not really
sure whether the problem is related to the mapserver core, the C#
interface or the ASP.NET execution environment.

The bug submission page for mapserver is:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/newticket

As prowling in the code I've also found potential leakage issues like
described at:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1545
and there are also some other bug reports related to the memory problems.

Anyway it would be quite an useful to isolate the portion of the code
causing this particular issue.

Best regards,

Tamas

Subject: Dynamic Layers?
Message-ID: <MON.23.APR.2007.123932.1000.NELSON.LITTLETENIX.COM>

Hello,

As part of my application I would like to create layers that are not
based on shape files but are more dynamic in nature. For example I have
a shape file of a building floor plan that contains unique identifiers,
I then need to query an SQL server DB to pull out asset data which is
related to those unique identifiers from the floor plan. How would I
present that information as a 'dynamic layer' using MapServer? I'm not
sure on how to tackle this problem so any ideas or suggestions would be
well received.

FYI I am using Java MapScript.

Cheers,
Nelson

Subject: What's the best OUTPUTFORMAT for ECW-files using WMS
Message-ID: <MON.23.APR.2007.095046.0200.GISAALTERGMAIL.COM>

I have about 50 ECW-files which I like
to serve via WMS.

I'm using following OUTPUTFORMAT:

OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME PNG24
 DRIVER "GD/PNG"
MIMETYPE "image/png"
EXTENSION PNG
FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
IMAGEMODE RGBA
TRANSPARENT ON
END

Image quality is good, but the performance is not what I'd like it to be.
Can anyone help me adjusting these parameters ?

thanks

If your layers are only backgrounds and don't need transparency, I would
suggest JPEG.

If you need more than 256 colours and transparency, you will need PNG24 like
you are using now but the images get pretty big unfortunately, which is a
disadvantage.

Thanks Bart, I've tried using JPEG but I'm losing a lot
of quality on my images. The files I'd like to serve
are aerial images and I'd love to keep the quality as
good as I can. Seems like I'll have to pick quality above
performance.
Thanks for your advice !

You can use the mapscript C# interface for this purpose. (We should
possibly rename it to mapscript.NET to express the welcome to the
users of the other .NET compatible languages). The ms4w installer
contains the required binaries. You might add a reference to the
mapscript_csharp.dll in order to use the class library provided by
this interface. The primary documentation of the class library can be
found at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript

For some additional information related to the C# interface take a look at:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/mapscriptcscompile

Some c# examples can be found at the mapscript/csharp/examples
directory in the mapserver source tree.

I recall that some of the folks are using VB.NET to implement their
application I can look after the email addresses if you would like to
contact them directly.

It may not be your output format that is slowing things down. I found
the ECW source format to be much slower than TIFF. I also found 8 bit
TIFFs to be faster than 24 bit TIFFs. Remember to create overviews if
you use TIFFs.

Interesting, as that contradicts the findings in

I do not have a record of my results, but in any case, it is best to
test in your own environment whenever possible. Both the input and
output format effect the performance of your mapserver. The input and
output formats are pretty much independent of one another, but they
are effected by the type of source and output image types that you are
reading and writing (greyscale, 24 bit color, 8 bit color).

I tested on two different Windows machines, one with a SCSI RAID and a
1GHz processor, the other with a SATA drive and a 3GHz processor. It
was a few years ago, so probably MapServer version ~4.6. My
recollection was that the TIFF was markedly faster (maybe >2x). My
image set is 24 bit color, 1 foot ortho-pixel. About 25GB uncompressed
w/o overviews.

I tested ECW (which always returns a 24 bit image), 24 bit TIFF and 8
bit TIFF, with 8 bit TIFF by far the fastest, and 24 bit TIFF faster
than ECW. I used Photoshop to create an optimized 8 bit palette,
although there a a number of other programs than can do an equally
nice job. If you are using an 8 bit OUTPUT format, and you have
colored vector layers also in your map, you may want to restrict your
8 bit image palette to less than 256 colors. This leaves some slots
open in the output palette for your vectors.

If you have a slow disk drive and a fast processor, I suppose that the
reduced file size of the ECW might make the ECW format faster than
TIFF. Also, if you do not have overviews (pyramids) the TIFF will
likely be slower. It is also possible that the ECW driver is now
faster than the one I was using when I did my tests.

Steven,

On issue is of course whether it is really the input or output that is
slowing things down.  PNG24 output is generally quite expensive computationally
and folks have often found JPEG better for 24bit output.  JPEG also produces
much smaller files which is generally good.

I'd add that each ECW that has to be opened and any imagery read from will
be expensive.  If you can it is better with ECW to make a single large
mosaic unless you know that views are constrained in such a way that allmost
all requests will only touch one file.

Well, I've been looking at this in more detail, and finding that the
tileindex layer isn't drawing at all.  With all other layers turned off,
when I use shp2img with an extent that causes the tile layer to draw, I
get a blank image.  When I change the layer to use the original
shapefile, I get the data displayed.  (And the layer takes 40 seconds to
draw, even after I've run shptree on the shapefile, which is why I've
been playing around with tiling.)

I identified the individual tile shapefile that contains the area I'm
trying to draw and used it directly, and it works fine.  So the
splitting apart seems to be working.  But the tileindex shapefile seems
to be broken.

OK - I knew I had to be doming something stupid.

To tell a layer to draw using a tileindex shapefile, you include the
commands:

   TILEINDEX "tileindex"
   TILEITEM "LOCATION"

Using:

   DATA "tileindex"

won't work.

Now, after all of that, drawing with the split shapefiles is slower than
with the original.  So there's still some playing to do.

Jeff,

Make SURE all your tiles have a spatial index *.qix and the tileindex 
also has a spatial index. These can be built with

   shptree file.shp

Subject: MapScript: drawing points with Perl
Message-ID: <MON.23.APR.2007.180610.0200.MYARDBENOITGMAIL.COM>

Hi list,

I'm trying to set up an application whose goal is to add Point data to
an existing map using Perl MapScript. My plan is to put all that's
static in a mapfile and to draw the points afterwards.

For now, I haven't managed to draw anything except what's in the
mapfile and I would like to know if there is anything special I should
know. For example, when you create a point, which projection is in use
?

I attached a sample script which should draw a big point over Paris
but actually doesn't.


Also, I noted that I can't "use strict;" since the MapScript Variables
(MS_ON, MS_SINGLE, ...) produce errors even when you prefix them with
'mapserver::' :

Argument "MS_ON" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at
/opt/csw/lib/perl/site_perl/mapscript.pm line 35.


Allthough there is not much documentation for the Perl-side of
MapScript, the MapScript API Reference should be sufficient. Just in
case someone is aware of some well-rounded documentation or examples
for Perl MapScript, it would be great to share with others :).


Thanks in advance.

Google Earth can read WMS, yes. But that great imagery is not WMS; it's
some proprietary Google format, with some nasty Terms of Use behind them.
This keeps coming up, folks wanting to load Google Earth's data via WMS,
but sadly it can't be...

Benoit,
Please pardon my ignorance on projections but the coordinates of the point 
look something like northing/easting.?
Unless you assign a projection to the layer I believe the projection & units 
of the mapObj are assumed or it is assumed that all layers are the same and 
no reprojection is needed.
For example, all the layers we use are projected into northing/easting using 
the same datum & feet so we don't specify any projection information. 

An old presentation particular to Perl is at the following but is not 
updated:
http://www.highwayengineer.co.medina.oh.us/mapserver/mapscript/title.html
There are also entries in the old wiki that may help:

Steven, 

When you say that the performance with tileindex is worse, is your test case that you are zoomed in to the point where you are only hitting one tile, or is it where you are zoomed out so that you have to now open and load many image files instead of just one?  

If it is the latter case, it is worth exploring the use of multiple layers for the same data.  Make them scale-dependent, so you only see one layer at a time.  Use an overview/generalized image for the 'zoomed out' scales and when the user is zoomed in to the point where they will only hit one or a few tiles, use the tileindexed layer.  

David.

Jeff -

In addition to Steve's suggestion, please keep in mind that what you are
trying to do is reduce the amount of data MapServer needs to read in order
to retrieve the data you need.  Think about your data carefully and see
whether you're achieving that goal.

First, splitting the shapefile into multiple files and indexing them with a
TILEINDEX helps MapServer select a subset of that data to be used for a
given map draw.  If MapServer has to open most or all of those shapefiles
anyway, then the TILEINDEX isn't going to do a thing!

Since your method of producing shapefile tiles will minimize overlap between
files, you should also check the relationship of your map's spatial extent
with those tiles.  Ideally, each tile should be (roughly) somewhat larger
than the extent of the map view.  With rectangularly-tiled data, you cannot
avoid situations where the map view is centered on a corner and you need to
open four different input shapefiles.  If each rectangular tile is, however,
slightly larger than the map image size, then you will never get a situation
that is WORSE than four input files.  If you render a zoomed-out view
covering dozens of input files, your TILEINDEX isn't going to help much.

Think about how your TILEINDEX and split shapefiles are behaving.  Have you
substantially eliminated most of your input data from consideration in a
map-drawing request?  If not, then you need to go back and think about how
to restructure your tiling and indexing, since that's the whole goal of
those techniques.

In my particular case, I'm only using this layer when zoomed in tightly.

The shapefile in question contains street data.  There are millions of
features in the original shapefile.  But I have very much smaller
shapefiles containing only the major roads, only the highways, and only
the interestates, that I use at wider zoom levels.  It's only at the
tight zooms that I will draw the individual streets, so trying to read
large numbers of tiles is not an issue.

What's surprised me in this case is that it's the first time where only
drawing detail on close-in zooms, and adding spatial indexes to the
shapefiles with shptree wasn't enough to get reasonable performance.

I'm currently running shp2tile with different arguments, trying to see
how speed vs. number of files trade off against one another.  But with a
half-gig shapefile, each trial is taking a while.

My current fastest attempt cut the time to draw to 1/4 of what I
originally had.  Which isn't fast enough.

You want to know how to output mapserver's WMS to Google Earth/Maps?
There're plenty of tutorials on that. First step, of course, is to get
your WMS working. After that, try Add / Image Overlay in Google Earth, or
do a web search for using WMS in Google Maps.

Jeff -

And how does the geographic extent of the tiled shapefiles you're using
compare to the geographic extent of the map requests you're using in your
test?

Jeff,

For tiger data I use the counties as that is the way the data is 
organized so I have 3300 counties in the US and each county is a 
directory with all the layers in that directory.

For Navteq data, I use shp2tile with the quad tree option and limit the 
maximum number of entities in a tile to 8000. This seems to work 
reasonably well, but I haven't actual tested variations on that to see 
what is better.

You also should build mapserver with the debug option in ./configure and 
then add DEBUG ON in all you layers and look at the apache error log for 
the timing info on the layers. One of the big killers is the labelcache 
processing time.

<soapbox>
I have discussed a new algorithm on the dev list regarding the 
labelcache processing that should change the it from O(n*(n-1)) to O(n) 
complexity problem. I'm hoping I can get someone to champion the 
development because when there are a lot of labels the current 
labelcache processing can take nearly 50% to the map rendering time.
</soapbox>

If the labelcache is you problem, try to thin the number of objects that 
could potentially be labeled at the zoom scale in question. You might 
try splitting the shapefile based on road class into major and minor 
roads and only labeling the major roads until you are zoomed in even more.

Subject: symbols - inprecise rendering
Message-ID: <TUE.24.APR.2007.103834.0200.R.MUELLERUNICOMPBERLIN.DE>

Hi,

i've got a question concerning rendering symbols in mapserver. I'm 
working with mapserver 4.6 mostly on linux-based maschines and noticed 
that under certain circumstances the rendering of point symbols is quit 
inexactly.

in the following test-case i wanted to draw gray-filled circles with a 
black border. in this case i didn't used the newer style-syntax but the 
result is quit the same. in the rendered image the two cirlces (inner 
circle and border are not located in the same origin, one circle is 
shifted for some pixels)

symbol-definition :

    SYMBOL
      NAME 'kreis'
      TYPE ELLIPSE
      FILLED TRUE
      POINTS 1 1 END
    END

inside the layer definition :

     CLASS
	SYMBOL 'kreis'
          EXPRESSION "gray"
          COLOR 0 0 0
          SIZE 50
          OVERLAYSYMBOL 'kreis'
          OVERLAYCOLOR 200 200 200
          OVERLAYSIZE 35
          OVERLAYMAXSIZE 35
          MAXSIZE 50
      END

the data comes from a postgis-database backend, but it doesn't matter. i 
worked out the following standalone test-case (complete map-file) and 
the behaviour is the same :

MAP
   NAME 'testy'
   EXTENT 0 0 800 600
   SIZE 501 521

   IMAGETYPE PNG

   SYMBOL
     NAME 'circle'
     TYPE ELLIPSE
     POINTS 1 1 END
     FILLED TRUE
   END


   LAYER

i discovered some correlation to the version of used GDAL-library :
in one case i used Version 1.3.1 and its rendered correctly (see 3rd 
pic), in another case i used 1.2.6 and renders incorrectly (see 2nd 
pic). Can someone confirm this behaviour ?

thanks a lot in advance.

regards

ronald

Hi there,

does anybody have a demo running of mapserver using flash output? The  
ones I found via Google and on the Mapserver site didn't work anymore...

Any drawbacks using Flash? What do you think?

Thanks for any advice

Look at:

http://www.flamingo-mc.org/

Althoug this is actually a flah-based viewer, there should not be
a problem using Flash as output...

Message-ID: <TUE.24.APR.2007.130516.0200.GIERSESYSTEMTECHNIK.NET>

Hello,

I?ve got a problem with my mapserver, but i can?t solve it.
The Data is stored in an Oracle-Database (10 g Enterprise, Oracle
Spatial). The connection to the database ist ok, i can show a map and
zoom in/out without any problems. But when i select an object, the
follwing error occurs: 

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msOracleSpatialLayerWhichShapes(): Error:
ORA-01002: FETCH auf ung?ltigen oder geschlossenen Cursor. . Query
statement: SELECT EID, SK, GEOM FROM SDOUSER.TABLEITUNG WHERE

NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(340891
9.23,5712065.41,3409949.2,5712837.89) ),'querytype=window') = 'TRUE' .
Check your data statement. in C:\ms4w\apps\hst\htdocs\map75.inc.php on

2 2.8869 gmapdrawmap( ) ..(null):464 
3 3.2150 ms_map_obj->drawquery( ) ..(null):889 

I can execute the SQL-Statement in a SQL-Client without any trouble and
get some records back. 
Here?s my Data-Statement in the map-filei:

LAYER
    NAME "tableitung"
    CONNECTIONTYPE oraclespatial
    CONNECTION "user/passwd at MYDB"
    DATA "GEOM FROM USER.TABLEITUNG USING UNIQUE EID"
    CLASSITEM "SK"

Can anybody tell me a way, how i can solve this problem ? 

Kind regards

Hi Dominik,
    Are you trying to use a query just to draw? What are the steps that 
you followed to apply the query?
    Can you pass the PHP code that generate the error?
    You can try to use the debug mode (DEBUG ON) for your layer to see 
all the functions that Mapserver used until the error.
    Best regards.

Hi Fernando,

thanks for your reply.
I use a query to get information about the objects selected and
highlight these objects. 


// resArr1 is an array with the ID?s selected

foreach($resArr1 as $ID) {   
    @$mysearchLayer->queryByAttributes("EID", "EID = " . $ID,
MS_MULTIPLE);
}
$ANZ = $mysearchLayer->getNumResults();
.
.
//Setting the map-extends
.
.
$img = $gpoMap->drawQuery();     // this is the line with der Error


And here?s the log. Ist very long, but i dont want to delete important
information

Hi all,

I try to create a map with just one raster image (8bits tiff) using shp2img (from FWTools 1.2.2) and get this error message:

msDrawRasterLayerLow<Orthophotos>: entering.
GDAL: GDALOpen<path to the image> succeeds as GTiff.
msResampleGDALToMap<>: no overlap ... no result.
GDAL: GDALClose<path to the image>

Here is my layer definition :

END

Hope somebody can help!

Cheers,

Rafael

I wonder if this is due to a rounding bug introduced in 4.6 (I think). I
can't see how
GDAL would affect things. Any chance you could try 4.10 as a test with
your mapfile?

Hi,

i've got a question concerning rendering symbols in mapserver. I'm 
working with mapserver 4.6 mostly on linux-based maschines and noticed 
that under certain circumstances the rendering of point symbols is quit 
inexactly.

in the following test-case i wanted to draw gray-filled circles with a 
black border. in this case i didn't used the newer style-syntax but the 
result is quit the same. in the rendered image the two cirlces (inner 
circle and border are not located in the same origin, one circle is 
shifted for some pixels)

symbol-definition :

    SYMBOL
      NAME 'kreis'
      TYPE ELLIPSE
      FILLED TRUE
      POINTS 1 1 END
    END

inside the layer definition :

     CLASS
	SYMBOL 'kreis'
          EXPRESSION "gray"
          COLOR 0 0 0
          SIZE 50
          OVERLAYSYMBOL 'kreis'
          OVERLAYCOLOR 200 200 200
          OVERLAYSIZE 35
          OVERLAYMAXSIZE 35
          MAXSIZE 50
      END

the data comes from a postgis-database backend, but it doesn't matter. i

worked out the following standalone test-case (complete map-file) and 
the behaviour is the same :

MAP
   NAME 'testy'
   EXTENT 0 0 800 600
   SIZE 501 521

   IMAGETYPE PNG

   SYMBOL
     NAME 'circle'
     TYPE ELLIPSE
     POINTS 1 1 END
     FILLED TRUE
   END


   LAYER
     NAME 'kreis'
     STATUS DEFAULT
     TYPE POINT
     FEATURE
       POINTS 450 150 120 111 450 301  END
       #POINTS 350 350 END
     END
     CLASS
       STYLE
         SYMBOL 'circle'
         SIZE 101
         COLOR 0 0 0
       END
       STYLE
         SYMBOL 'circle'
         SIZE 94
         COLOR 121 121 121
       END
       TEXT 'K0025'
     END
   END


   LAYER
     NAME 'kreis1'
     STATUS DEFAULT
     TRANSPARENCY 50
     TYPE POINT
     FEATURE
       POINTS 100 450 750 320 131 310  END
       #POINTS 350 350 END
     END
     CLASS
       STYLE
         SYMBOL 'circle'
         SIZE 51
         COLOR 0 0 0
       END
       STYLE
         SYMBOL 'circle'
         SIZE 35
         COLOR 211 121 121
       END
       TEXT 'K0025'
     END
   END
END


i discovered some correlation to the version of used GDAL-library :
in one case i used Version 1.3.1 and its rendered correctly (see 3rd 
pic), in another case i used 1.2.6 and renders incorrectly (see 2nd 
pic). Can someone confirm this behaviour ?

thanks a lot in advance.

Ronald,
  There was an issue with a math library in 4.6-4.8.  If you try that in 4.4
or 4.10, that issue isn't there.  If the bug tracker is up, you should be
able to find more information on it.

  The issue was a problem with the round function, if I remember correctly
and could cause the very problem your seeing.  My examples were with squares
on squares.

John

thanx John,

for everyone who is interested in :

its ticket no #1716
"MS_NINT assembly macro is broken"

and as you mentioned its fixed in 4.10

as a quick and dirty hack :

look for this block in "map.h" and comment it out :
(only if your running mapserver version 4.6!)

------------------BLOCK-START---------------------
#if defined(WE_HAVE_THE_C99_LRINT)
#   define MS_NINT(x) lrint(x)
#elif defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(_WIN32) && !defined(USE_GENERIC_MS_NINT)
     static __inline long int MS_NINT (double flt)
     {   int intgr;

     _asm
         {       fld flt
                     fistp intgr
                     } ;

     return intgr ;
     }
#elif defined(i386) && defined(__GNUC_PREREQ) && 
!defined(USE_GENERIC_MS_NINT)
     static __inline long int MS_NINT( double __x )
     {
         long int __lrintres;
         __asm__ __volatile__
           ("fistpl %0"
            : "=m" (__lrintres) : "t" (__x) : "st");
         return __lrintres;
     }
#else
#  define MS_NINT(x)      ((x) >= 0.0 ? ((long) ((x)+.5)) : ((long) 
((x)-.5)))
#endif
------------------BLOCK-END---------------------

leave only this define statement uncommented

#define MS_NINT(x)      ((x) >= 0.0 ? ((long) ((x)+.5)) : ((long) ((x)-.5)))

and just recompile your mapserver !

Subject: WFS Filter Oracle
Message-ID: <TUE.24.APR.2007.182729.0200.CANDALTONLINE.NO>

Hello

I've been testing ORACLE 10g Locator and Mapserver. There seem to be an issue when using WFS "PropertyIsLike" filter on an ORACLE 10g Locator layer.

My WFS URL is like this:
http://test/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=wfs.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&MAXFEATURES=100&TYPENAME=layer_20&FILTER=<Filter><PropertyIsLike wildcard='*' singleChar='.' escape='!' matchCase='false'><PropertyName>KOMMUNE</PropertyName><Literal>*123456*</Literal></PropertyIsLike></Filter>

Mapserver the produces this SQL (based on WFS filter):
SELECT ID, GEOM FROM (SELECT * FROM V_BE) WHERE KOMMUNE ilike '123456' escape '!' AND SDO_FILTER( GEOM, MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, 32632, NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-26932.706,6387567.41,1637291.63,8050226.99) ),'querytype=window') = 'TRUE' 

In the SQL there are some errors: 
"ilike '123456'" should be "like '123456'"
escape '!' should not be present at all

Could this be a bug or is there something wrong with my WFS filter URL?

Cheers!

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me whether the Getmap request will be able to output swf
files directly in the future (since the lack of this feature seems to be
listed as a bug)?

Thanks ahead!

Subject: Feature Query using buffered points?
Message-ID: <TUE.24.APR.2007.120417.0500.DAVID.FAWCETTSTATE.MN.US>

I am trying to select a point feature by attribute and then use that
feature to find other point features located within a 1000 meter radius
of the selected point.  To do this, I am using itemfeaturequery mode and
seting a tolerance on the layer.  

I am guessing that MapServer just answered my question, but is this
possible?  The error message seems to indicate that only polys can be
used for feature selection.  Version is 4.10.1

msQueryByFeatures(): Query error. Selection features MUST be polygons. 

Thanks, 

David.

Hi Sture,

if you leave out matchCase='false' in your filter ilike will turn into like.
But you should file a bug about this, since ilike is for PostgreSQL. But at
least you've got a workaround for now.

I believe there is nothing wrong with escape '!', it should be there in case
someone wants to escape a character in the search string. Does it not run in
sqlplus? If so, what error do you get?

Best regards,
Bart

Hello

I've been testing ORACLE 10g Locator and Mapserver. There seem to be an
issue when using WFS "PropertyIsLike" filter on an ORACLE 10g Locator layer.

My WFS URL is like this:
http://test/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=wfs.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&MAXFEATURES=100&TYPENAME=layer_20&FILTER=<Filter><PropertyIsLike
wildcard='*' singleChar='.' escape='!'
matchCase='false'><PropertyName>KOMMUNE</PropertyName><Literal>*123456*</Literal></PropertyIsLike></Filter>

Mapserver the produces this SQL (based on WFS filter):
SELECT ID, GEOM FROM (SELECT * FROM V_BE) WHERE KOMMUNE ilike '123456'
escape '!' AND SDO_FILTER( GEOM, MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, 32632,
NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-26932.706,6387567.41,1637291.63,8050226.99)
),'querytype=window') = 'TRUE' 

In the SQL there are some errors: 
"ilike '123456'" should be "like '123456'"
escape '!' should not be present at all

Could this be a bug or is there something wrong with my WFS filter URL?

Cheers!
Sture

There is ticket on this : http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2075. I 
have fixed the ilike  to be only done for postgis layers. I will wait 
for Sture answer to see if something has to be done for the escape 
statement.

Hi,
 
I am trying to place a string at a known position.
The string must be passed in the URL (variable substitution).
 
I was able to use variable substitution with the FILTER tag.
But in this case, I can't make it work with the TEXT tag and found nothing
on the list.
 
Anybody knows how to do it ??

Rafael,

The message means essentially what it says.  As far as the software
can tell there is no overlap between the map region requested, and the
region covered by the TIFF file.  I would encourage you to review the
extents you requested, the extents reported by gdalinfo for the file,
and the coordinate system information on the map (or in the request) and
for the layer.

Best regards,

Hi James,

I've been fiddling with this also. But in
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/variable_sub/
it states that since Mapserver 4.10.1 the only keywords that support
variable substitution are: DATA TILEINDEX CONNECTION FILTER and EXPRESSION
Don't know if somebody can confirm that?

I can confirm that %variable% substitution doesn't work for the label 
text parameter, but it should be possible to set it using the 
"map_layer_..." URL syntax as described in:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/controls

Look for section "Changing map file parameters via a form or a URL" at 
the end of this document.

Subject: Simplified state outline data?
Message-ID: <TUE.24.APR.2007.170821.0500.JDEGEKORTERRA.COM>

We have an app that needs to generate a map with state outlines, but
needs to keep the total amount of data as small as possible.

Fortunately, we don't need precision, a rough approximation of the
outlines is fine.

Does anyone know of a source of approximate state outline data?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a tool I can use to reduce the number
of points in a geometric feature, while retaining the general outline?
Something that would take a complicated boundary drawn with points every
100 meters and return a simplified boundary drawn with points every 10
kilometers?

Subject: WFS Filter Oracle
Message-ID: <WED.25.APR.2007.002657.0200.CANDALTONLINE.NO>

Hi again

Thanx for answer :-)

I've tested again with excluding the "matchCase='false'" property in my "PropertyIsLike" search, and now "like" is used in my SQL statement as you say Bart, and also the WFS filter is working.

But this leads me to another question: will there be added support for the "matchCase='false'" parameter when using Oracle? 

Cheers
Sture


There is ticket on this : http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2075. I have fixed the ilike  to be only done for postgis layers. I will wait for Sture answer to see if something has to be done for the escape statement.

Later,

  Rafael,

  The message means essentially what it says.  As far as the software
  can tell there is no overlap between the map region requested, and the
  region covered by the TIFF file.  I would encourage you to review the
  extents you requested, the extents reported by gdalinfo for the file,
  and the coordinate system information on the map (or in the request) and
  for the layer.

  Best regards,

I suppose that depends entirely on how you intend on displaying it.  Have you
looked at http://www.tilecache.org/ it will tile any WMS source and works
great.

We're not running PostGIS, we're not running PostgresSQL.

Though we may start, if this turns out to be the easiest way to handle
these problems.

Hi,

Open Jump (www.openjump.org) seems to have a couple or menu selections for generalisation and it reads (and writes) shapefiles.  I have never tried those tools myself, though.

Hi Fernando,

I found the mistakes. I?ve got a function to zoom in to all the selected
shapes.
I use my searchlayer to perform the query and then i open it to get the
extends of the selected shapes. But i didn?t close my searchlayer. 
You get this error when you perform another query on this layer before
you close it. 

Tanks for your help !!

Betreff: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] AW: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Error in
drawquery with OracleSpatiall


Hi Dominik,
    In the begin of this year another Oracle spatial user sent a message

with a relate fetch error.
    On error, in that case, was with the UNIQUE column defined. The 
length of the data stored was bigger than 10 digits and had some 
duplicated data. In your case, the EID column store unique values,
right?
    Another relate error can be with can be with the open() and close() 
fro the layer that you used. These functions are used to open and close 
some handlers for the used connection. You can find some info in the 
PHPMapscript reference.
    I will forward some messages (and the code) that I sent the user 
with the drawquery() problem. See below.

"....The first is with the drawQuery, this method perform a query in all
layers of the mapObj. This method need to be apply in the mapObj, just
draw an image when you use the query methods for the mapObj. When you
call with just the layer query's (how you how in your code) the return
will be a null imgObj...."

"....To perform the tests I use a PHP application (and the mapfile) that
I attached, in these you have some example of function to use the
getShape, and the query modes in a layerObj. In the code exist another
function that perform a query in the mapobj, to have a drawQuery you
need the QUERYMA defined in your Mapfile. You can use this application
to test your code, you can change it without problem (just reference the
source if you share it  :)  ). The functions that you need to check are
query_map and query_point, in both you can see all the modes that I
used, querybypoint, querybyshape, querybyattribute...."

"....In my  Mapfile I used  FILTER, but you can forget it without
problem, it is not a requirement. The drawQuery work correctly, but it
will generate and image as result, this image is controlled by the
QUERYMAP parameters defined in the Mapfile, the image that is generate
by the drawQuery is use as a reference from the selected objects, it is
very useful for templates in CGI mode but not common in Mapscript mode
of Mapsever.
    I don't believe that the drawQuery will help you, if you just want
to show in the map the selected objects you can use the same approach
that I used. How you see in my code I created a new layer object, this
layer is just valid for Mapscript, will not appear in the Mapfile, and
is valid until the end of the execution of the PHP script. So, I just
copy (clone) the objects that was found to this new layer...."


    Best regards from Brazil.

Altough this has been handled before:
http://www.nabble.com/Enabling-WMS-service-on-MapServer-t3440626.html
I'm experiencing the same problem.
Yet, when I try to open the resulting mapserv.exe file it opens a (so
it seems) perfect capabilities-document ( not an error-document)

Running my app on several pc's results in not showing up the WMS. I
don't know if the above problem is related to this. Anyone
experiencing the same ? I try to make mapserver make a capabilities
document which is viewable in the browser...

Thanks!

The OGC:WMS 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 specifications state that, for
GetCapabilities responses, the OGC:WMS server returns a specific MIME
type (i.e. application/vnd.ogc.xml (see subclause 6.5.3 of OGC:WMS 1.1.1
at
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=1081&version=1&forma
t=pdf).

A MIME type is passed from the web server to the client (in your case, a
web browser), from which a client can decide how to process it.

Example 1: if using a web browser, if a web server returns an HTTP
Header of "Content-type:image/png", then the web browser will know that
this is a PNG image and display it accordingly.

Example 2: if using a web browser, if a web server returns an HTTP
Header of "Content-type:text/html", then the web browser will know that
this is an HTML page and display it accordingly (i.e. tables, divs,
etc.)

Basically, what is happening is that the OGC:WMS is returning, in the
headers of the HTTP response, a MIME type which your web browser does
not understand, which usually prompts a dialog box on whether to open or
download the content (i.e. Content-type:application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml).

You could configure your web browser to handle the
application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml MIME type a certain way (i.e. open in
Notepad, etc.).
Hope this helps

Message-ID: <WED.25.APR.2007.115134.0400.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I have the listed the gdalinfo listing of an erdas imagine file below and
notice that it does not have a EPSG code within it.  I need this EPSG code
if I want to reproject within gdalwarp or for on the fly projection within
mapserver.  Based the gdalinfo listing I searched within the epsg file and
found the following code and definition:

# WGS 84 / UTM zone 18N
<32618> +proj=utm +zone=18 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs  <>

Does the above EPSG code of 32618 make sense for the below gdalinfo listing?

Thanks,

John,

Yes, EPSG:32618 is equivelent to the following definition.

As a follow-up to the remarks of Tom Kralidis: It is true that OGC sepcs mention "application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml" as the default MIME type to return. It has also been recognised as a mistake, and WMS 1.3 specs have (I think) returned to "text/html" or "text/xml" as teh default.  However, the WMS 1.1.1 spec also supports a URL parameter EXCEPTIONS that can be issued to ask for expceptions (=error messages) in another MIME type. We use it in our RIMapperWMS, which is a WMS specifically for SVG output, to be able to return error messages in SVG (image/svg+xml) or in straight HTML (text/html) whenever the requesting UA does not support SVG.
 
A useful addition for the next version Mapserver would thus be to support at least EXCEPTIONS=text/html. Is there an offical place to request features for upcoming releases?

Yes, OGC:WMS 1.3.0  returns to more browser friendly defaults.  However application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml is listed as the MIME type to declare for WMS Capabilities XML.

w.r.t. Exceptions, see section 6.7:

"Service Exception Report XML shall be valid according to the Service Exception DTD in Annex A.3. In an HTTP environment, the MIME type of the returned XML shall be "application/vnd.ogc.se_xml". Individual error messages appear as <ServiceException> elements within the <ServiceExceptionReport>. The messages can be formatted either as chunks of plain text or, if included in a character data (CDATA) section, as XML-like text containing angle brackets ("<" and ">"), as shown in the example Service Exception Report in Annex A.4."

In this application, that won't matter.  But since in other

If you have two polygons sharing a corner (vertex), & simplify them, you can
move the vertex differently in each case. In such cases you finish up with
little slivers of overlap or gaps between the simplified polygons, who no
longer share the same boundary at that location. You can also generate
figure-eights (self intersections) in the polygon boundaries, which make the
simplified versions invalid.

For quick plotting purposes, this is generally irrelevant, but for querying
point-in-polygon, etc, you will get wrong answers.

FME (from Safe Software) will handle this problem nicely.  It's a bit

Subject: How do I dynamically add features to a Layer
Message-ID: <THU.26.APR.2007.124649.1000.NELSON.LITTLETENIX.COM>

Hi,

Is there a way to add a new feature to an existing Layer dynamically.
I.e. the feature lives in some database (which may not be a spatially
aware database) and when the user pans to that area of the map the
application will query the database and add the feature to the layer? 

Any help or guidance is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Nelson

Subject: classification doesn't work with floating points
Message-ID: <THU.26.APR.2007.115012.0200.STEVEN.OTTENSGEODAN.NL>

Hi all,

I'm working on a dynamic classification application which works with 
SLD. I select a bounding box and Mapserver generates a new SLD with the 
minimum and maximum values and a range of classes between. This works 
fine and the SLD is correct with all the expected classes. However if I 
use that SLD to generate a new map I only see 3 colours instead of the 
expected 50.
After some investigation I discovered that it was due to the very small 
classes I get:
<ColorMapEntry color="#0c317c" quantity="-6.75" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#0f377c" quantity="-6.54" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#0f407e" quantity="-6.47" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#11497f" quantity="-6.40" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#12527f" quantity="-6.36" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#145a81" quantity="-6.32" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#166482" quantity="-6.29" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#186c83" quantity="-6.27" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#1a7584" quantity="-6.25" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#1c7e85" quantity="-6.24" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#1d8786" quantity="-6.23" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#1f9087" quantity="-6.22" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#219888" quantity="-6.21" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#239e89" quantity="-6.20" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#26a380" quantity="-6.19" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#2caa74" quantity="-6.18" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#31b068" quantity="-6.17" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#36b75c" quantity="-6.16" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#3cbe50" quantity="-6.15" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#42c444" quantity="-6.14" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#48cb38" quantity="-6.13" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#4dd12c" quantity="-6.12" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#53d81f" quantity="-6.11" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#58de14" quantity="-6.10" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#5ee508" quantity="-6.09" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#61e901" quantity="-6.08" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#72ea01" quantity="-6.07" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#8bed02" quantity="-6.06" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#a2f002" quantity="-6.05" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#b9f102" quantity="-6.04" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#d1f402" quantity="-6.02" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#e9f602" quantity="-6.01" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#fcf803" quantity="-5.99" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#faf105" quantity="-5.97" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#f6e808" quantity="-5.94" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#f3de0c" quantity="-5.90" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#f0d50f" quantity="-5.85" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#eccc13" quantity="-5.75" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#e9c316" quantity="-5.63" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#000000" quantity="-5.52" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#e2b01c" quantity="-5.35" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#ff1b1b" quantity="-5.00" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#ffa720" quantity="350.00" />

If the classes are without floats there's no problem and mapserver works 
as expected.
Some more investigation showed that the 3 colours I see are the ones from:
<ColorMapEntry color="#0f377c" quantity="-6.54" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#000000" quantity="-5.52" />
<ColorMapEntry color="#ff1b1b" quantity="-5.00" />
The last being the class everything bigger then -5.
It's striking that the other two are both around the .5, which does make 
me believe there's something wrong with the floating point handling of 
mapserver with regard of drawing maps. Is there a setting in my mapfile 
which I have to set to make sure it will use all decimals to do the 
rendering?

I've attached the map file of this particular layer. In there you see 
multiple layers with the same classification, each is an aggregation of 
the previous one and kicks in at a different scale level. The whole 
thing is a detailed DEM of the Netherlands.

Regards,
Steven

Hi, 

Sure it is possible.  I made once a trial with Oracle spatial layer by inserting a variable inside the SQL query in the DATA argument. The layer can then be called from WFS client with extra argument like &ID=5 and the result should be as you expect. I guess,but haven't tried myself, that extra variables can be used also in other places in mapfile, like in FILTER.

Hi all!

If I understand correctly, classes in a layer are not rendered in the order
they appear in the layer, but as they are encountered in the dataset, e.g. a
shapefile.

A workaround could for instance be seperating classes into layers.

Any other workarounds? 
Or could it perhaps be on a "wishlist" for a future Mapserver version - that
classes are rendered in the order they appear in the layer..?

Frode

Correct. Features are rendered in the order they appear in the data
source. The selection of class for a feature is a first-match based on the
classes' criteria.


> A workaround could for instance be seperating classes into layers.
> Any other workarounds?

Another could be to sort your dataset to fit your classes. Using
PostgreSQL, the CLUSTER command will physically sort a table by the given
criteria. There may or may not be something you could do with shapefiles
to accomplish this same goal. (in a pinch, I suppose you could shp2pgsql,
cluster, pgsql2shp)

MapServer's WFS Server includes support for Filter Encoding.  So, a
filter expression for id=5 would look like:

http://www.example.org/wfs?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&
typename=foo&filter=<Filter><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>ID</Propert
yName><Literal>5<Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></Filter>

See the Filter HOWTO
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/filterencoding) and MapServer
OGC Web Services Workshop (http://ms-ogc-workshop.maptools.org/) for
more info.

Hope this helps.

Yes, you have to use MapScript for that matter (theoretically you
could avoid MapScript but it depends much on your actual needs).

Although I can't speak for other MapScript flavors, Perl lacks
documentation and examples, hence you should avoid it in my opinion.

PHP seems to be the most widely used and extensively documented
MapScript flavor so you should start by reading its documentation [1]
and examples [2].

I'm doing a similar task at the moment and as far as I can tell, you
can't add data to an existing set of data. For example, I've tried to
add a city to a layer of cities but whenever I added it, all other
cities disappeared.

Good luck.

Hi,

I ran gdaltindex referencing location field within shapefile within the same
directory of the shapefile (i.e. gdaltindex.exe shapefile.shp *.tif) instead
of including the full path (i.e. gdaltindex.exe c:\foldername\shapefile.shp
c:\foldername\*.tif).  I found mapserver only displays (see layer below)
when the location field within the shape file has the full path to the
raster file, and does not display when location field only has the filename
even when the file is in the same folder as the shape file.

Actually, the location field must be valid *from the mapfile directory*
So I prefer to cd to the mapfile's directory, then do the appropriate
gdaltindex from there, so I know I have the paths right.

If you were in the "data/" subdirectory when you ran it, and it found
"./foo.tif" then from the mapfile's point of view you entered "./foo.tif"
instead of "data/foo.tif" See?

Hi,

I am trying to display a DEM which is in geotiff format (gdalinfo
listing below) within MapServer (mapfile layer
listing below) and the image is all white.
When trying to display this same image within the desktop application
called "global mapper" it first asks
whether you want to display this data as an image or as a DEM.  If
select as an image then is displays an image
that is all the same color similar to mapserver and if select as a DEM
then it displays a color coded elevated image.
Is their a way to display a DEM within mapserver that displays the
elevated image instead of the all white image
that I am currently displaying?

Thanks,

John J. Mitchell

The first thing that comes to mind is the extent. I may be off, but this
is the first thing I'd check.

At a size that small, compared to the rest of the map, I'd expect the
image to be entirely white, with your TIFF represented by a single pixel.
I'd try setting the map's extent to be zoomed in a little tighter, e.g.
   EXTENT -72 6.75 -71.9 6.9

Message-ID: <THU.26.APR.2007.105058.0600.BFRASERGEOANALYTIC.COM>

John,

The three most common problems when trying to display raster
using a TILEINDEX:

Coordinate System Problems:
    1. EXTENT given in MAP not suitable for data in LAYER
        - change EXTENT to match the bounds of the data

Data Access:
    2. Pathing from TILEINDEX to raster files wrong
        - put the full paths to the data in the LOCATION
attribute of the TILEINDEX

Data Organization:
    3. Data representation not suitable
        - use the LAYER's PROCESSING object to scale the
32bit float height values to greyscale.
        - it could be that Mapserver using GDAL for input
will not read the data from a 32bit tiff.

See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data for
more details.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Trying to display a geotiff
DEM within MapServer


Hi,

I am trying to display a DEM which is in geotiff format
(gdalinfo
listing below) within MapServer (mapfile layer
listing below) and the image is all white.
When trying to display this same image within the desktop
application
called "global mapper" it first asks
whether you want to display this data as an image or as a
DEM.  If
select as an image then is displays an image
that is all the same color similar to mapserver and if
select as a DEM
then it displays a color coded elevated image.
Is their a way to display a DEM within mapserver that
displays the
elevated image instead of the all white image
that I am currently displaying?

Thanks,

John J. Mitchell

Kamap also has a pretiling engine and it works well with mapserver
http://ka-map.maptools.org/

After making the tiles, you either use the kamap application to access
them or you make your own.

Hi Benoit,

Attached is a small example that adds points to a shapefile. It was
written for a custom application, but you can easily adjust it to your
needs. As you can see, you don't even need MapScript to add points.
You can manipulate Shapefiles directly using Geo:: Shapelib module.

Hope this helps you.

Puneet.

Mapserver doesn't do TCPIP at all; it's just a CGI application. It's your
webserver that handles all that stuff. So it's way off topic for the
Mapserver list.

Make sure that your OS has IPv6 support, and hit up Apache's documentation
to get Apache working with IPv6.

Subject: RGB vs grayscale
Message-ID: <FRI.27.APR.2007.113555.0400.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi,

Below are sections from 2 different gdalinfo listings:

RGB that displays the way we expected in MapServer

Band 1 Block=256x256 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Red
Band 2 Block=256x256 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Green
Band 3 Block=256x256 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Blue
----------------------
RGB that displays as a gray scale in MapServer

Band 1 Block=1394x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Red
Band 2 Block=1394x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Green
Band 3 Block=1394x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Blue

What does 1394x1 mean (one level deep)?

The second image that shows up as gray scale within MapServer shows up as
color within the global mapper desktop application.  Is their anything that
could be done to change the header info within the file (i.e. running
gdalwarp against the grayscale appearing image so that MapServer recognizes
it as RGB)?

Thanks,

Hello fellow MapServer users,
 
I have a small problem with reprojecting a tileindexed raster layer.
The original layer is in GB National Grid coordinates and I have
reprojected this on the fly to latitude and longitude. The coverage of
the layer extends to the area of the United Kingdom. The re-projection
works fine and I am very happy with it.
 
The problem is if I zoom out to a whole World view, there are two
duplicates of the reprojected UK raster layer equally spaced on either
side of the real layer. The duplicates are on the same line of latitude
as the real layer but are approximately located in North America and
East Russia. The duplicates are also heavily distorted, and one is the
mirror image of the other.
 
I would like to know what is causing this and how I can possibly
prevent it. I have a workaround which is to switch the layer off when I
have zoomed out a certain amount; this works ok at the moment but may
cause problems in the future. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I
am using MapServer version 4.10.0-5+etch1 on Debian Etch.
 
Regards,
 
John W.

John -

The GB National Grid is a Transverse Mercator projection with a central
parallel of 49 degrees North.  A world map in that projection would look
rather strange, but should be possible (if inadvisable).  I realize you?re
using a latitude/longitude output projection (equally inadvisable, but
that?s another soapbox) but when you put your NG layer on that output map
you?re in effect causing a world-sized view of your TM projection in order
to figure out where your TM source image should be placed.

I?m not quite seeing how your particular symptom is produced by that
problem, however.  Is  your map viewer publicly accessible, and can you post
your map file?  Thanks.

    - Ed

John,

1394x1 is the internal blocksize in the file.  It basically means that
the file in question is being accessed scanline by scanline, while the
other is read in chunks of 256x256 tiles.

There is no reason obvious from the gdalinfo output that mapserver would
have trouble showing the second image in RGB.

Subject: Adding namespace support for the MapScript C# interface
Message-ID: <FRI.27.APR.2007.214044.0200.SZEKERESTGMAIL.COM>

Folks,

According to the OSGeo affiliation the time has arrived to put the C#
interface classes into the right place from a higher level of the
abstraction. In this regard I'm planning to place the MapScript
classes in a separate namespace so as to harmonize the project with
GDAL/OGR where this change have already been done.

For choosing the proper name I should follow the general .NET
namespace naming guildelines by using CompanyName.TechnologyName as
the root. The names should be PascalCase-d without using underscores.
Acronyms and abbreviations should also be PascalCase-d. As the result
of this change the MapServer/GDAL/OGR classes will reside in the
following namespaces:

OSGeo.MapServer
OSGeo.GDAL
OSGeo.OGR
OSGeo.OSR

I will also change the module name from mapscript to MapScript at the
C# interface since the classes shoul also be Pascal cased. However I
will not alter the names of the remaining classes like mapObj since
these classes come from a common ground of the SWIG bindings and
should behave similarly for the various languages. We will also
continue to maintain one reference document for all of the bindings.

If I get no relevant reason against the additions from the
MapScript.NET community, the corresponding changes will be applied for
the 5.0 release.


Best regards,

Tamas Szekeres

Subject: Odd Vector behaviour using Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area and
 Global Vector
Message-ID: <FRI.27.APR.2007.144958.0700.P.WILLISTELUS.NET>

Hello,

I am working with mapserver version 4.10.1.

I am using a global polygon vector of land in SHP format.
The vector has a latlong coordinate system. The vector
has land color filled and water blank.

The map file that mapserver is using defines a map
with a Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection (laea).

Mapserver has no problem with the map Lambert projection
centered over most global coordinates.

PROBLEM:

I am finding that mapserver maps the land vector
inverted with land blank and water color filled when
I cross various geographic boundaries with my Lambert projection.

I have posted a map showing where Mapserver inverts the
opaque and transparent colors of the polygon vector
when using Lambert AEA.

http://www3.telus.net/amphora/images/index.html

QUESTIONS:

Is this a problem with Mapserver, GDAL, Proj4,...???
Has anyone encountered this before?
Is the problem workable or do I need another global
land vector centered on the other side of the globe?

Thanks for any info,

Peter

The problem is also related to map scale.

I am using chameleon library and along with it I downloaded Arabic fonts and
also tried windows Arabic fonts but no use.

Sample of layer is like:

      END

      CLASS

            LABEL

                  TYPE TRUETYPE

Message-ID: <SAT.28.APR.2007.203838.0400.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

Hi all,

I have some question on symbology that are not address by the current 
documentation. I'm using mapserver 4.10.1

1) I have truetype font with symbols in it. Some of the symbols I can 
trying to use show nicely in Windows Character Map as a solid filled 
pictograph, but when I create a mapserver symbol it is just an outline.

SYMBOL
   NAME "building"
   TYPE TRUETYPE
   FONT "cartogra"
   CHARACTER "F"
   FILLED TRUE
END

2) I need to make a dashed line with some additional symbols along it, like:

----(.)----  ----  ----  ----(.)----  ----

Where the (.) is a circle with a dot. I have a truetype symbol for the 
(.), but the (.) needs to fall in what would otherwise be a gap. So I am 
trying something like this:

SYMBOL
   NAME "a_cable_dot"
   TYPE TRUETYPE
   FONT "cartogra"
   CHARACTER "J"
   GAP 100
END

SYMBOL
   NAME "a_cable_dash"
   TYPE ELLIPSE
   POINTS 1 1 END
   FILLED TRUE
   STYLE 0 5 20 5 20 5 20 5 20 END
END

then overlaying the two of these with two styles.
Is there a better way of doing this?
How can I control the placement of the circle-dot.

Thanks,
   -Steve W

Hi list: 

I am using a sqlquery widget to build a report on employment change in a
mapping application. Having little experience in PostgreSQL and Chameleon, I
managed to upload a shapefile (empchgfinal.shp) to PostgreSQL database,
created a spatial index (gist type, name "emp") for the shapefile and wrote
the following SQL query in the html file. However, when I selected the area
of interest (using ROIManager widget), I can see the area is highlighted, but
when I click on generate report, I got an empty result.  1) What is
sharedresourcename in the SQL Query and Table widgets for and how should it
be specified in the table widget? ("EMP" is a report type out of 4 link
options in the report.html and "emp" is the name for the spatial index in the
shapefile).  2) Is there some thing I should do extra in PostgresSQL so that
this will work? Could someone please give me some guidance as to how I can
fix this?  Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Sincerely,

OK, I have sort of figured out the disappearing fills. It seems to be 
related to using:

   OUTPUTFORMAT
     NAME PNG8
     DRIVER "GD/PNG"
     EXTENSION "png"
     MIMETYPE "image/png"
     IMAGEMODE RGBA
     TRANSPARENT ON
     FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=ON"
     FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_DITHER=OFF"
     FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"
   END

If I change to just a "png" image instead of "PNG8" the fills will show. 
I'm not sure what the story is with that.

Subject: PHP MapScript MyGIS (MS4W)
Message-ID: <MON.30.APR.2007.080538.1200.IANTNAPIER.GOVT.NZ>

Hi All,

I need to get a copy of the PHP MapScript DLL (and any other associated
files) (for MS4W) that has been compiled with the MYGIS option.

I am running MapServer 4.10 on my Windows machine and 4.8 on a Linux
machine, I want to do the development on the Windows machine but
MapScript on the Linux machine has been built with the MYGIS option.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Ian

Subject: creating sub-tiles of maps
Message-ID: <MON.30.APR.2007.034307.0500.DAVE.WEAVERZEN.CO.UK>

Hi, 

I'm looking to create a web-based map-browser (of a similar style to Google
Maps etc) where the user only sees a small part of the overall map at any
one time,  and can scroll around it.  

I've just started looking into MapServer as a possible tool to help me
acheive this. 

So far I've run through the basic tutorials, and have created a small static
map, in a projection of my choice with an overlayed geographically-located
bitmap image. By changing values in the .map file (especially the extent) I
can zoom in and move around the map.  Not too difficult so far.

But what i'd really like is some way to serve sub-tiles of the map to a
javascript program, the size and location of the tiles depending on
parameters passed from the javascript. I have no idea how to achieve this
with MapServer. 

Can someone point me in the right direction? Which features of MapServer
will help me do what I want? What should I be looking for in the documentation?

Thanks,
Dave

the perl module is under the mapscript/perl directory of the mapserver
source distribution.
To build it you must compile mapserver first and then build the module.

Hi Ed

You can access my server. The web address is:

http://148.197.55.226/gbhgis/demo_init.html 

for the regular interface

or 

http://148.197.55.226/gbhgis/mapserver.html 

for the OpenLayers interface (use 1930s Land Utilisation layer).

I will send you my map file from my personal gmail account.

Regards,

John W.

Umberto,

The data type is shape. The number of active layers depends on zoom
level however in the map file there is a total of 39 layer definitions,
with between 10 and 30 active at any one time. The queries are run only
in one layer.

I have done some more work on the system and improved the operation by
caching commonly used images. You can have a look at the application
live if you wish - it is an infant however running live (I note it is
crashed at the moment so must recycle app pool - which is in the process
of being done). To see it running visit
http://www.exploroz.com/Places/Find/CaravanPark.asp?ms=1 - The initial
map is cached so use mouse and draw a box to run a query - you will
either see the crash message or a refined result set.

The application is running on a Win 2003 server so no access to Linux
tools. I have been using the same .map file with the CGI interface for a
few years and never had problem at all.  
I note that I can run the cgi mapserver process after the system has
reported the .net memory allocation error. A sample of the CGI interface
using the same .map file is as follows
http://www.exploroz.com/cgi-bin/MapServer/MapServ.exe?mode=browse&map=e:
\\inetpub\\vs126169\\iMapPlot\\map\\ExplorOzBase.map&map_PointRef_featur

Any help would be appreciated.

Martin,
how many layers do you have on your map and which kind are they (shape,
oracle, spatial, postigs, etc)?

If, by chance, you had a linux mapserver installation it would help if
you could run valgrind (a memory leak detector for Linux) on the map
file with the following command:

valgrind --show-reachable=yes --leak-check=full ./shp2img -m
YOURMAPHERE.map -o ~/Desktop/test.png

and post the output.
