Trying to display a geotiff DEM within MapServer

Thu Apr 26 09:21:11 PDT 2007

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
