WCS from multiple netCDF returning only background image

[Norman Barker]

Ed,

There were a lot of good changes made by Frank and Denis last year to
the netCDF driver to support r/w and access to variables, this means the
syntax of the time index shape file has changed. So an example from my
netCDF WCS installation here would be

OGRFeature(my__ta):61
  LOCATION (String) = NETCDF:"/my__ta_1982013118.nc":ta
  TIME (String) = 1982-01-31T18
  POLYGON ((0 160,320 160,320 0,0 0,0 160))

(I have made up the file names), but you see how I have accessed the
temperature variable using the NETCDF access keyword?

To create a time index shapefile for netCDF and MapServer you can use
GDAL and Python (and recently someone reported using Ruby), I posted a
script to the list last year to do this, if you hunt around you can find
it.  (Or later on this week post to me and I will dig it out).

Thanks,

Norman

Hey, thanks again Frank.

Now I get:
[root at niceguy RETRO]# ogrinfo -al RETRO.shp

I'm assuming I made a bad shapefile then.
