Hi,

Yes, sorry about the server access. It's not available publicly because
of the firewall. Silly me :)

I will try posting a screenshot today.

The server doesn' seem to be reachable at 20.13 GMT, firewall problems
?

Hi MapServer users,

Here are some screen shots of the problem:

Ghost1: Zoomed all the way out. UK is correct, but notice ghost images
on the same line of latitude. There is also smaller additional ghost
images located in the bottom left corner.
Ghost2: Zoomed into one of the ghost images.

The problem does not occur if there is no on-the-fly reprojection.

Regards,

John W.

Subject: MapInfo Styleitem AUTO
Message-ID: <TUE.1.MAY.2007.091828.0600.RICHARD.GREENWOODGMAIL.COM>

I did some upgrades over the weekend that have caused STYLEITEM AUTO
to stop working on a Slackware 11.0 server. I upgraded
postgres/postgis to the current versions and in the process decided to
upgrade gdal from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1. I tested the upgrade on my
development machine, a Mac w/ OS X, and it works fine.

But on the Slackware machine I upgraded postgre/postgis and GDAL and
rebuilt MapServer 4.10.0 and MapInfo layers with STYLEITEM AUTO fail
to draw. Specifically, in the Apache log is a 500 error (server error)
and nothing is written to the mapserver log file.

I tried going back to GDAL 1.3.2 with a make, make install, and then
rebuilding mapserver, but with same results. I also tried with
mapserver 4.10.1.

Any suggestions on where to look for the error, or how to get back to
where I was before I did the upgrade?

Thanks,
Rich

Subject: WMS GetFeatureInfo bug?
Message-ID: <TUE.1.MAY.2007.184428.0200.KOBBENITC.NL>

When trying to issue GetFeatureInfo requests to Mapserver (4.10.0 on WinXP),
I notice some strange behaviour:

Despite requesting (and getting) INFO_FORMAT=text/plain, my requests won't
work, an exception "WMS server error: Requested layer(s) are not Queryable"
is returned. If I do specify in the map file for every CLASS in a LAYER a
"TEMPLATE" "somepath/anytemplate.html", it works, although my info is still
returned as text/plain(as requested). It even works when the template file
mentioned does not exist!

It looks like a bug, or am I missing something...?

Hi Richard,

A few hints to try to isolate the source of the problem:

1- Make sure you don't have two copies of GDAL on your system that could 
be conflicting (i.e. remove any old copies and do a clean build)

2- Have you tried dumping the contents of the file using ogrinfo? If 
ogrinfo crashes then you know it's not a MapServer problem.

3- Also, if you just create a single static class for your layer instead 
of using STYLEITEM AUTO then do you get a map or do you still get a 500 
error?

I bet I have two copies of GDAL. I had 1.3 and then did a built &
installed of 1.4. Can you suggest the best way to remove GDAL?

Yes, ogrinfo does work.


Thanks Daniel!

Subject: Ack! Labelling numeric fields bug.
Message-ID: <TUE.1.MAY.2007.203217.0400.WOODBRISWOODBRIDGE.COM>

I have a shapefile, actually 10s of thousands of shapefiles that have 
contour lines and I want to label them. The problem is that they are 
defined as:

15.     ELEVATION       N       31      15

and when a use this field to label my map, mapserver zero fills the 
field out to 15 digits of zeros!!! So a value of 10 in the field gets 
labeled as 10.000000000000000

I think this is a little extreme! :) OK, it is kind of cool to see these 
long snakes follow the contour if I use ANGLE FOLLOW.

I will open a bug for this, but any thoughts in a short term work around?

Hi Steve,

I run into this every now and then. I'm not sure if I'd call it a
MapServer bug, because it seems to be a matter of the DBF column
formatting. It goes away if I open my DBF file in a spreadsheet program,
and specify a smaller number of decimal places (be aware that OpenOffice
doesn't always do this right). Or if I round it to 0 decimal places in
ArcGIS. Not sure if this helps, considering the quantity of shapefiles
you have....

Regards,

Jacob

Subject: php mapscript - can't instantiate second newMapObj?
Message-ID: <WED.2.MAY.2007.133550.0800.BENREMOTEINFORMATION.COM.AU>

G'day all,

we have started to see this problem in a reporting system where  
depending on the report, more than one map might be generated in the  
same report (using the same code again)

The first map comes out fine, and then we start building the second  
one (using the same code) and instantiate the same $map = new  
ms_newMapObj().

Warning: [MapServer Error]: loadSymbolSet(): Parsing error near  
(SYMBOL):(line 0) in blah blah

Warning: [MapServer Error]: msCalculateScale(): Invalid image width  
or height. in

Fatal error: Failed loading symbolset from /ms4w/Apache/htdocs/live/ 
mapserver/symbols/colour.sym in


Given that it works perfectly well in many other parts of the same  
application (and this one, if there is only one map) I can only  
assume it is to do with creating another mapObj

I have tried unsetting the $map object, setting it = null, etc, but I  
don't seem to be able to get rid of it.

Can I reuse the class, or is it irrevocably bound up with information  
from the old one.

any help on getting around this would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Ben

Richard (et al.),

this reminds me of a bug I posted to trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ (ticket 1571). May
be you can have a look and compare it to your findings.

can one expect a performance drop of about 1000% for WMS images using non

to be expected?

Slow image: 10 seconds:

I want to always display the label for a tiny polygon (oil spill).

Bart,

When non-square pixels are used, MapServer switches from the optimized
"let GDAL do all downsampling" logic to going through the general
image reprojection logic for input imagery.  That will be substantially
slower, though I'm surprised that it would be 10 times slower.

If you can isolate a demonstration of this that I can reproduce, I might
be able to figure out why it is so much slower.

Best regards,

Hi again,

when I change the type from polygon to point, the label is always visible. 
Unfortunately I get one label for each point in the polygon. 
Not very readable :-)

Add a separate layer of points for your labels

This gives you much finer grain control

I usually use the polygon centroids for this

Thank you. That is exactly the problem that I am encountering.
Switching from Gdal 1.4 back to 1.3 has fixed my problem, despite what
I said in my original post above. (I think I botched it the first
time). The MapInfo layers are fine with orginfo, etc. function
correctly in MapServer so long as I do not use STYLEITEM "AUTO". When
I do enable  STYLEITEM "AUTO" the browser reports premature end of
headers, nothing is written to the MapServer log, and the Apache logs
report 500.

Hi guys,

This may be a Firefox issue but want to know how you guys deal with this 
problem, if any, on your mapper application.

I got a weird problem that Firefox can't print a PNG image with
transparent background which is retrieved from Mapserver.
It's transparent on the browser, and so is it with [Print Preview].
But when I print this, the PNG image covers the legend and background
images (the transparent background turns to white).

To make things simple, I copied the PNG image in question along with
legend and some background map images into a quite simple HTML.

http://seamap.env.duke.edu:8888/dev/mapservice/googlemaps/test.html

Here, the combination of points and lines is the PNG with transparent
background. Should look OK on your browser.

Below is a screen shot of Firefox's [Print Preview].
http://seamap.env.duke.edu:8888/dev/cache/misc/firefox_cant_print_png.jpg

Still has transparent background, but when printed, it doesn't.


IE doesn't have this problem. It prints as seen on the browser.

Do you have any idea what's wrong?
Is it just a Firefox bug? Any workaround? Should use GIF?
# I thought Firefox provided great support for PNG...

Subject: Mapserver/GDAL/Raster display configuration
Message-ID: <WED.2.MAY.2007.141403.0400.RYAN.MAPSERVERGMAIL.COM>

Hello,
I've tried to get mapserver up and running with GDAL to display a raster
image from a php webpage but have been largely unsuccessful.  This post will
be relatively long as I describe all that I've tried to do to get it
working.  My development platform is Fedora Core 6.

First I tried all the needed packages obtained from the Fedora
repositories.  I ran in to issues with php and gd not cooperating.  So I
downloaded php from and built from source (v5.2.1).

After php was installed and operational, I tried to get mapserver running (
v4.10.1).  After I successfully built (with config options --without-pdf
--with-httpd=/usr/sbin/httpd --with-php=/usr/local/src/php-5.2.1 --with-proj
--with-gdal), I copied the php_mapscript.so file to the php modules
direcotry.  I started receiving errors along the lines of no output format
for GTIFF ( I appologies for the vagueness, but I didn't write it down and I
don't remember what it specifically was).

Next, I downloaded from source GDAL and built it (with config options
--with-png --with-jpeg --with-gif --with-libtiff --with-hdf4 --with-hdf5
--with-jasper --with-mysql).  Then I did a make install and rebuild
mapserver with the option --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config.  I also
copied over the new php_mapscript.  At this point, I am still unable to draw
a singular raster image with mapserver.  My exact error message is:

*Warning*: [MapServer Error]: msDrawMap(): Failed to draw layer named
'TestLayer'. in */var/www/html/ryan/test.php* on line *9*

*Warning*: [MapServer Error]: msDrawRaster(): (/usr/share/images/test.png)
in */var/www/html/ryan/test.php* on line *9*

I've tried an older version of GDAL (1.4.0) with the same results.  gdalinfo
correctly opens and displays info on my image file, resolution and type
(png).

Here is my php file:
<?php

$map_path="/var/www/html/ryan/map/";

dl('php_mapscript.so');

$map = ms_newMapObj($map_path."test.map");
//$map->selectOutputFormat("image/png");
$image=$map->draw();
$image_url=$image->saveWebImage();

?>

<HTML>
    <HEAD>
        <TITLE>Test</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
        <IMG SRC=<?php echo $image_url; ?> >
    </BODY>
</HTML>

and here is my mapfile:
Map
    Name TESTMAPFILE
    Status On
    Imagetype PNG
    Size 800 600
    Extent -82 40 -80 42 #example location
    Units dd

    Web
        Imagepath "/var/www/html/ryan/map/"
        Imageurl "/ryan/map/"
    End

    Layer
        Name "TestLayer"
        Type Raster
        Status On
        Data "/usr/share/images/test.png"
    End

    OutputFormat
        Name png
        Driver "GD/PNG"
        Mimetype "image/png"
        ImageMode RGB
        Extension "png"
    End

End

I am at the end of my rope trying to get this to work.  If anyone can
provide any direction, I would greatly appreciate any insight.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hey all.  I am using version 4.9cvs(FWTools1.3.0) of the CGI MapServer.  I
am able to send an HTTP GET request and get a map image from the MapServer
CGI just fine.  However I am not able to get this to work using a POST
request.  The error I get is 'loadMap(): Web application error.  CGI
variable "map" is not set.'  Code listings are below.

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) var oReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
else if (window.ActiveXObject) var oReq = new
ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');

oReq.open('POST', '../mapserver/FWTools1.3.0/bin/mapserv.exe', true);
//oReq.open('GET',
'../mapserver/FWTools1.3.0/bin/mapserv.exe?mode=browse&map=bas.map&layers=all');
oReq.onreadystatechange = function()
{
  if (oReq.readyState != 4) return;
  if (oReq.staus == 200) alert(oReq.responseText);
  else alert('A problem occurred while processing your request.');
}
oReq.send('mode=browse&map=bas.map&layers=all');

The lines I've commented out are for the GET request that works.  Any

I had a look at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/1571 and it seems to 
be related to the same issue as MapServer bug 1950:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1950

Bug 1950 is fixed in the development version of MapServer and also in 
the 4.10 branch (not released yet, will be in 4.10.2). If you can get 
the latest 4.10 branch from SVN you could use that, otherwise you'll 
have to wait for the release of 4.10.2... There are a few other good 
fixes waiting in the 4.10 branch so I'll bring up the possibility of a 
4.10.2 release in the near future on the -dev list. Stay tuned.

Daniel & Wolfgang,

Thanks for the help on this. I'll check out the svn version when time
permits. In the mean time, things are back on track now that I've
sucessfully reverted back to gdal 1.3.

Message-ID: <THU.3.MAY.2007.084232.1200.IANTNAPIER.GOVT.NZ>

Hi All,

I am looking into purchasing a new production server to run MapServer
on, and I am looking for some specifications.

Our current server has a 3GHz Xeon Processor, 1 GB RAM, a mirrored pair
of 36GB Drives, running Ubuntu Linux (2.6.x kernel) .  I have hyper
threading turned off.

Our memory usage is up over 95% all the time, so I obviously need more
RAM.  We are looking to improve the session start-up time (I know part
of this is the PHP interface / Java Applet and we are working on that),
and we want to improve the map rendering and searching time.  Currently
all our vector data is stored in shape files.

Cheers Ian

Bart,

Whew, that is a big slow down!  It seems that the projection you are using
is very expensive computationally, and it was being applied twice per
point unecessarily so that the rescaling needed for non-square pixels could
be applied.

I have applied a change in mapproject.c to short circuit this reprojection
work that brings down the slow case to only about 50% more time than the
fast case.  If you can easily test with trunk or perhaps incorporate this
change into the source you are building from that would be appreciated.

   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/changeset/6075

If it works well for you, I'd be inclined to incorporate this fix into
MapServer 4.10.2 but I'll need a ticket in trac to reference.

Best regards,

Folks,

OSGeo is finally bringing the Service Provider Directory online.  It is
essentially a web list of consultants and service organizations in the open
source geospatial realm.  We are currently seeking consultants and service
organizations to register themselves in the directory.  In a few weeks,
assuming this goes fairly well, we will start trying to publicize the
directory to potential clients, and work it into our presentations, materials
at conferences and so forth.

There is no cost to participate.  You just need someone in your organization
to register for an OSGeo Userid, then login into the OSGeo web site, and then
go to the form to enter your organization details.  There are some directions
and discussion at:

   http://www.osgeo.org/spd_help

Feel free to contact me, if you have questions about this service provider
directory.  We anticipate some fine tuning before we promote it vigorously.

Best regards,

Why would you turn off HT? I'd think that the system could benefit from an
extra CPU or two.

As to the RAM usage: How much of the RAM is file cache? If you don't
actually use the RAM, the OS uses it for cache and there's never too much
of that!

The startup time is a tough one, since Mapserver is a CGI app and
therefore doesn't do magical things like caching open filehandles or
prefetching data. If you're using Mapscript, maybe there's some
accelerator for the language you're using, e.g. PHP Accelerator?

Hi Ei,

I don't have a solution, but it might be helpful to know that this
problem has existed for quite a while in Mozilla (>2 years). It's
nothing to do with your particular setup or printers, I have had the
same issue here.
Perhaps you could merge the images into a single image? This is what I
do for my print layouts.

Regards,

Jacob

Subject: Force label for tiny polygon
Message-ID: <THU.3.MAY.2007.001816.0500.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

MapServer removes colinear points when it converts features from map to
image coordinates and if a feature is small enough it will collapse down
to a single point, and since a polygon must have at least 3 points it's
possible the code stops right there and never even tries to place a
label (or draw the feature). So, Norman's idea is your best bet since
points don't degenerate like that. You might also try an ANNOTATION
layer but I believe is uses the same colinear conversion and filtering.

Add a separate layer of points for your labels

This gives you much finer grain control

I usually use the polygon centroids for this

Hi list!
I want some explanations about OGC technologies in querying a raster map.

I'm sure that WCS provides raster data as WFS provides vector ones, while WMS provides 
images (maps).

I have a DEM and I want to know a specific value (float) in a specific point. How can I do it 
through WCS? Is it possible to do the same with WMS (I think no, because WMS provides 
images, not data!!).

Are there any particular kind of WCS requests?

If no, have I convert raster data in a vectorial format and use a WFS (GML)?

What about Mapserver ?

Thanks a lot!!

Daniel & Richard,

after applying the changes from

http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/11399 to ogrfeaturestyle.cpp

it works for me (w and w/o fixing Mapserver bug 1950).

You can just use WMS GetFeatureInfo, it should work on rasters at least in
the latest versions of Mapserver.

Message-ID: <THU.3.MAY.2007.144931.0200.SCHOENHAMMER.HERBERTREGENSBURG.DE>

Hi Fernando,

now i found the time to answer your reply. SORRY  ;-)

Until now, I did not write the question into the Oracle Spatial forum. I will do it after giving you some new examples. (This is not as important for me as the examples for you, because the "wrong" geometries are drawn correctly by mapserver ! Only some of the correct stored geometries are not drawn !)

1.) A "circle" which is not drawn, and a error is reported
==========================================================
(Table=ax_gebaeude, Fid=14083066, only for me to find the objects again !)

SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, 82032, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 5, 1, 1, 2, 2), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(4512485,81, 5426487,22, 4512491,74, 5426479,73, 4512485,28, 5426472,69, 4512477,01, 5426480,27, 4512485,81, 5426487,22))

The geometry validates (SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_GEOMETRY_WITH_CONTEXT(c.geom, 0.005)), but the use of "5" as an SDO_ETYPE is discouraged by Oracle. So the following (mapserver) error message is okay:

- <ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
  <ServiceException>msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'stgk_gebaeude_orcl'. msDrawShape(): General error message. Only polygon shapes can be drawn using a POLYGON layer definition.</ServiceException> 
  </ServiceExceptionReport>

2.) Some "circles" which are drawn correctly by mapserver
=========================================================
(Table=ax_bes_geblinie, Fid=14196364 - 14196267)

SDO_GEOMETRY(2002, 82032, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 2, 2), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(4512475,44, 5426583,82, 4512473,81, 5426582,19, 4512475,44, 5426580,55, 4512477,08, 5426582,19, 4512475,44, 5426583,82))
SDO_GEOMETRY(2002, 82032, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 2, 2), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(4512475,24, 5426579,96, 4512473,6, 5426578,32, 4512475,24, 5426576,67, 4512476,88, 5426578,32, 4512475,24, 5426579,96))
SDO_GEOMETRY(2002, 82032, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 2, 2), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(4512474,96, 5426569,9, 4512474,1, 5426569,04, 4512474,96, 5426568,19, 4512475,82, 5426569,04, 4512474,96, 5426569,9))
SDO_GEOMETRY(2002, 82032, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 2, 2), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(4512475,08, 5426574,78, 4512474,24, 5426573,95, 4512475,08, 5426573,11, 4512475,92, 5426573,95, 4512475,08, 5426574,78))

These "circles" are made up of a connected sequence of circular arcs (SDO_ETYPE=2 AND SDO_INTERPRETATION=2). All "circles" are validating. Mapserver draws them correctly. 

"LINESTRING made up of a connected sequence of circular arcs." (Oracle Spatial 9i Documentation)

3.) Some "circles" which are validating by Oracle Spatial, not drawn by mapserver, no error message is generated
================================================================================================================
(Table=ax_gebaeude, Fid=14079065, 14079126, 14079128, 50153783)

The statement:

Select fid, geom, SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_GEOMETRY_WITH_CONTEXT(geom, 0.005)
FROM ax_gebaeude 
WHERE  Fid=14079065
or fid=14079126

SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, 82032, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1003, 2), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(4505553,29, 5430751,3, 4505555,38, 5430749,21, 4505557,47, 5430751,3, 4505555,38, 5430753,39, 4505553,29, 5430751,3))
TRUE

The geometries are validating. No error is reported. The geometries are NOT drawn ba mapserver. 

I think, the combination of SDO_ETYPE=1003 and SDO_INTERPRETATION=2 is valid: "POLYGON made up of a connected sequence of circular arcs that closes on itself.  ....) (Oracle Spatial 9i Documentation)
That is just the description of the picture which should be drawn !!!

Note: COMPOUND POLYGONS with circular arcs are drawn
====================================================
If there is a COMPOUND POLYGON with some vertices connected by straight line segments and some by circular arcs, this PLOYGON is drawn correctly. The geometry validates by Oracle Spatial. 

Statement:

Select fid, geom, SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_GEOMETRY_WITH_CONTEXT(geom, 0.005)
FROM ax_gebaeude 
WHERE  Fid=14080250;

Result:

  14080250
SDO_GEOMETRY(2003, 82032, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1005, 2, 1, 2, 2, 13, 2, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(4507524,52, 5430348,32, 4507526,76, 5430348,68, 4507528,88, 5430349,49, 4507531,16, 5430351,04, 4507532,99, 5430353,11, 4507534,27, 5430355,63, 4507534,86, 5430358,4, 4507537,64, 5430358,38, 4507537,65, 5430358,56, 4507537,71, 5430358,56, 4507537,72, 5430366,92, 4507538,53, 5430366,92, 4507538,6, 5430382,06, 4507535,31, 5430382,07, 4507479,2, 5430382,24, 4507479,18, 5430374,96, 4507479,16, 5430366,28, 4507478,79, 5430366,28, 4507478,73, 5430340,61, 4507484,01, 5430340,91, 4507505,57, 5430342,15, 4507524,53, 5430343,3, 4507524,52, 5430348,32))
TRUE



Conclusio:
==========

LINESTRING's making a connected sequence of circular arcs are drawn, even if they are closing on themselves.

If a POLYGON made up ONLY of circular arcs AND it CLOSES ON ITSELF, it is NOT drawn. 

If there are arcs in a COMPOUND POLYGON, the whole Polygon is drawn correct.

All geometry-types are validating by Oracle Spatial, the used combination of SDO_ETYPE and SDO_INTERPRETATION is okay.

I really think, that this a problem of mapserver's Oracle-driver !

Best regards
Herbert

Subject: points disappearing on zoom
Message-ID: <THU.3.MAY.2007.155847.0200.ANTHONY.K.FARRANTGMAIL.COM>

Hello Mapserver users,

I have a problem. I'm creating shapefiles dynamically and using them
with mapscript. Not only do I create the shapefile with shapefileObj
but I also create the dbf file to give it attributes.

The result is very nice until the moment I first zoom in. Then all
points in the zoom scope tend to disappear! What despair!

I'm at a loss as to what to do.

I maybe should mention an oddity: in the DBF file, created through PHP
functions, the latitude and longitude are given a precision of 1 even
though I ask a precision of 10. It is given a precision of 1 *AND* the
rest of the precision is zeroes. Could this affect Mapserver printing
the points?

Any help very welcome. Have a nice day,


Anthony

The precision shouldn't matter, I mean it shows up once right? Also, "tend to disappear" implies it sort of works but I would expect all or nothing. Perhaps you can clarify.

Any chance the layer state (on/off/default) isn't being maintained between zooms?

Thank you very much, Delfos.

It's good to know I did do nothing wrong.
Probably, I need to use GIF instead because the background map is 
actually Google Maps.
By the way, did you try PNG24 as well? The same results?

Thanks,

No the layer state is good since it shows some of the points.

To be precise I'm mapping Antarctica. When I zoom on Antarctica, the
region directly on the coast of Antarctica is devoid of points (which
should be there, since they were there on the first drawing) while on
the periphery there are still points. So it's shows the layer "on the
periphery of the zoom but not in the middle." When I pan or zoom
closer on a specific region the points reappear. So basically it's a
one unique level of zooming that part of the points disappear...

Does this make any sense? It's quite frustrating.

Subject: Chameleon SQLquery Widget
In-Reply-To: <200704291413.l3TEDEvY024958@safari.software.umn.edu>
Message-ID: <THU.3.MAY.2007.103316.0400.EFUJIOKADUKE.EDU>

Hi Jessica,

I don't have an exact answer for you but thought this might be a clue.

Chameleon is quite hard to grasp what it really does.
Have you tried to dig into the PHP source codes?

What I found is that the polygon information is stored in
$_SESSION['ROIRENDERER'].

You can extract lat/lon of the vertices with something like this.

if (isset($_SESSION['ROIRENDERER'])) {
   $nROI = count($_SESSION['ROIRENDERER']);

   // Currently only last polygon is treated.
   for($i=0; $i<$nROI; $i++) {
     $coords = implode(",", $_SESSION['ROIRENDERER'][$i]['aGeoCoords']);
     $roi_mode = $_SESSION['ROIRENDERER'][$i]['type'];
   }
}

So if you create PHP codes that is called when you click "Report", you 
can issue the SQL, which you entered for SQL Query widget, to extract 
data (I mean without using SQL Query).

To see if the ROI information is also stored in shared resources which 
SQL Query can access, you will need to look into the source codes.

As I said, it is hard to trace the Chameleon codes so I might have 
missed more convenient ways, though.

Good luck.

Hi All

I have been looking around a bit at the gradient and colourrange 
functionality for displaying rasters. The trouble is all I can find is a 
few bits and bobs (like bug reports and the proposed(?) RFC6) and no 
solid documentation about how to do it.

Is this functionality up and running in 4.10 and has anyone written a 
how-to or anything? If there isn't any documentation written yet, can 
someone tell me how to use it and I'll be happy to contribute a how-to 
once I've got it figured out.

Thanks in advance

Stuart

Message-ID: <THU.3.MAY.2007.130428.0400.CPLISTSECONDCREEK.ORG>

Hi, all:

I am having a tough time doing something that should be a snap.  I can't
pull a bounding box out for a WKT polygon (in this example).

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use mapscript;
my $shp =  mapscript::shapeObj::fromWKT(
  'POLYGON((0.0 0.0, 0.0 2.0, 2.0 2.0, 2.0 0.0, 0.0 0.0))'
);
print $shp->{bounds}->toString()."\n";

What I get is:
{ 'minx': -1 , 'miny': -1 , 'maxx': -1 , 'maxy': -1 }

I can do a {bounds} on a shape from a shapefile just fine.  Something like:
{ 'minx': -109, 'miny': 31, 'maxx': -103, 'maxy': 37 }

And just for kicks and to make sure I wasn't insane, pumping that geometry
into postis and doing an envelope on it gives me what I want:

POLYGON((0 0,0 2,2 2,2 0,0 0))

ms 4.10.1
geos-3.0.0rc4

Thanks in advance,

Charlton

That's most likely a bug so if you would be so kind as to file one... ;-) I need to see if the OGR WKT converter
behaves similarly.

A quick workaround is to call setBounds() on the resulting shape and that will force computation of the bbox.

So do:

my $shp =  mapscript::shapeObj::fromWKT(...);
$shp->setBounds();

Yes, I actually used PNG24, not PNG8
I have some bad news about GIF... The problem seems to exist there as
well. I just ran a test putting a transparent GIF over some text. It
works in IE, but not in Firefox (PDF comes out blank, because the
transparent GIF hides the text).

Looks like you will have to try a different approach...

Subject: Change of Data Source changes Mapserver behavior
Message-ID: <THU.3.MAY.2007.215938.0500.>

Hi,
 
The map file at the end of this post is used by me to create a
client-side image map.  When I call this map file using a data source of
.shp files (which happens when SHAPEPATH and the 'NAME "counties"' lines
are uncommented), I get the proper result back to the calling webpage.
When those lines are commented out and I instead use the lines that
begin:
 
CONNECTION ...
CONNECTIONTYPE ...
DATA ...
 
to retrieve the same date from a POSTGIS/POSTGRESQL database, I don't
get the right results.  The following is a snippet of what I do get
returned:

whatever changes when I use the postgis tools to load the shapefile into
the Postgresql table, which should be only data format).  Does anybody
know how to fix/work around this?
 
Thanks!

Hey there Matt,
Try:
1) Comment out your data statement for shapefile
2) Uncomment your three lines for PostGIS
3) Modify your data statement to be just [1]:
       DATA "the_geom from shp_counties"
4) If you need to have the more complex query [2] in the future for things
like sub-selects, then I believe you need a unique id in the " using unique
the_geom" part of your query.  Usually people use OID.

Hope that helps...

Oh BTW, you might want to use shp2img [1] to test the mapfile as well
 it
can be very helpful tracking down issues like this.

Could this problem be due to the fact that I am using a polar projection?
I have noticed that several OS desktop GIS have proven to have difficulties
with these projections. DO you think that this could affect Mapserver's
reprojection of the points on zoom?

Subject: Retrieve data from Deegree WFS
Message-ID: <THU.3.MAY.2007.035211.0700.ANNA.ZANETTIGMAIL.COM>

Hi to all,
I'm very new of MapServer. I'm interesting in the possibility of MapServer
of taking another WFS as a data source. I follow the guide but I have only
found examples with WFS implemented with MapServer itself and not others
like Deegree or GeoServer.

Does this mean that it is possible to use only MapServer WFS as data source
or I can use other services? In this case, could you please send me the
parameters for the string connection???? 

I have tried to use Deegree WFS, but MapServer says that it is not able to
draw the layer. Maybe it depends on the version of WFS that MapServer
supports (1.0.0) while Deegree supports (1.1.0).

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards

Aihe: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Retrieve data from Deegree WFS



Hi to all,
I'm very new of MapServer. I'm interesting in the possibility of MapServer
of taking another WFS as a data source. I follow the guide but I have only
found examples with WFS implemented with MapServer itself and not others
like Deegree or GeoServer.

Does this mean that it is possible to use only MapServer WFS as data source
or I can use other services? In this case, could you please send me the
parameters for the string connection????

I have tried to use Deegree WFS, but MapServer says that it is not able to
draw the layer. Maybe it depends on the version of WFS that MapServer
supports (1.0.0) while Deegree supports (1.1.0).

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards

Anna Zanetti

Thanks a lot for your help. Your answer is very helpfull.

I will try with these parameters with deegree, but I think that I have to
use an older version of deegree that supports wfs 1.0.0 and not 1.1.0.

Subject: Strange clipping on polar stereographic maps.
Message-ID: <FRI.4.MAY.2007.143844.0100.DAVE.WEAVERZEN.CO.UK>

I'm experimenting with MapServer and have come across a problem I
don't understand.

I have a basic (vector) world map, overlaid with a (raster) satellite
image. I'm accessing it using the WMS interface. When I display it in
EPSG:4326 projection it looks fine, like this:

http://server6.pictiger.com/img/39525/computer-games-and-screenshots/coverage-of-image.png

However, if I change the projection to Polar Stereographic, I get some
strange clipping issues.
Take a look at the following 4 images. They are all of the same data,
centred over the north pole. Each image is more zoomed out than the
previous one (I was just changing the BBOX parameter in the URL used
to access the images).

http://server6.pictiger.com/img/39526/computer-games-and-screenshots/bounding-box-at--2000000%2C-2000000%2C2000000%2C2000000-.png
http://server6.pictiger.com/img/39527/computer-games-and-screenshots/bounding-box-at--4000000%2C-4000000%2C4000000%2C4000000.png
http://server6.pictiger.com/img/39528/computer-games-and-screenshots/bounding-box-at--6000000%2C-6000000%2C6000000%2C6000000.png
http://server6.pictiger.com/img/39529/computer-games-and-screenshots/bounding-box-at--8000000%2C-8000000%2C8000000%2C8000000.png

Notice how, as we zoom out, parts of the word disappear. Also, the
satellite image is clipped lower and lower each time.

What's going on here?

If it's relevant, the URLs being used to access the images are like this:

http://example.com:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/pstest.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&CRS=EPSG:9810&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=world,sat,radar&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=700&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=false&BBOX=-2000000,-2000000,2000000,2000000

Subject: distance measure
Message-ID: <FRI.4.MAY.2007.170655.0200.PIERO.CAVALIERIGMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I use jBox to calcolate distance measure.
In jBox documentation I found this function:

function measure_handler(name, s, t, n, a) {
// c = 1 / 72dpi / 12inches_per_foot * 1.0003state_plane_scale_factor
var c = 0.0011577546296296;    // constant
var f = [scale] * c;           // scale factor
if ((s>0) || (t>0)) {
defaultStatus = "This segment = " + s*f + ", Total = " + t*f + ",
Number of vertices = " + n ;
}

Since I'm not able to have user dpi (and 72 is a mean value, I suppose),
isn't more correct (and simpler) to use this way: ?

Distance = (x2 ? x1)/ mapWidh * t

 Where x2 and x1 are mapextents in real world coordinates, as returned in
imgext, mapWidth is the width in pixel, as specified in .map file (and
returned in template file), and t is the jBox meaure, in pixel.

Thanks

 Piero

Sure do. One of the projection guru's might need to chime in here. I see there's another post
with a similar theme that will be worth watching. Can you put together a test dataset?

I wouldn't use scale since that's an artificial number and should only
be used for relative comparisons (like turning layers on/off). Instead
you'd want to use cellsize (pixel width or height). How you get that
value depends on your application. Are you using mapserv.js? If so it's
probably there for you. There may be a template substitution as well.

I used

Distance = (x2 ? x1)/ mapWidh * t

where (x2 ? x1)/ mapWidh should be resolution in [m]/[pixel] (x2 and x1 are
taken from "imgext" hidden value, as setted by jbox/dbox.

My raster has 1m resolution, so I can't test with precision.
I tested both ways with an open 50m swimming pool  (as  I hadn't  other
references...) and  both gave me closer results (but I  didn't test the
[scale] formula with other monitor resolutions). At the end, I used the
formula above.

Thanks

These linear formulas are only accurate at tight zooms - maps of cities.
When you're dealing with maps of countries or states, you're going to
have to use spherical geometry.  The formulas for spherical distance for
coordinates expressed in lat/long are well known.  But you need to
reverse the projection, converting the points to lat/long.
 
   // r and d in km. latitudes and longitudes in radians
 
   var r = 6371;  // radius of the earth
   var d = Math.acos( Math.sin(lat1)*Math.sin(lat2) +
Math.cos(lat1)*Math.cos(lat2)*Math.cos(lon2-lon1) ) * r;
 
Of course, if you want real precision, you'l want to use an ellipsoid,
instead of a sphere, but then you're getting into which ellipsoid is
defined for the datum you're using, and it starts to get hairy, again.
 
Me, I'd run the numbers for the largest distance you're likely to
measure, once for linear distance and once for spherical distances, and
see how far apart they are.  Then you can judge whether the complexity
of the spherical calculations is needed.

Anna,

i'd encourage you to turn up debug output on mapserver in
the hopes of a hint of what is going wrong.  If you still can't
tell, it might be prudent to file a bug report with a *minimal*
map file to demonstrate the issue against a public WFS.

it could be a protocol version, or possibly Deegree returns
GML that is just a bit to fancy for the OGR GML reader used
by Mapserver.

Best regards,

Dave,

There are many tricky issues with polar areas (and datelines)
when reprojecting.  In mapserver if you ask for a region in
polar stereographic mapserver will reproject that rectangle
into geographic coordinates by sampling along the edges
of the rectangle and accumulating an extent in lat/long.

But if your view is centered on the pole, generally none of the
edges will be near the pole so the final "extent rect" will not extend
any closer to the pole in latitude than the closest edge.

This is certainly responsible for the vector drop out.

There are some caveats.

If *any* edge point fails to reproject then mapserver will actually
do internal sampling in the rectangle as well.  This would help
you enourmously, but there is nothing to cause any points to
fail unless you use polar extents so large they are bigger than the
world.

If you felt so inclined, you could hack msProjectRect() in
mapproject.c so that the line 'if( failure > 0 )" was "if( 1 )"
instead so that internal sampling would always be done.

There are also some related issues for rasters that I provide
some special "knobs" to tweak.  If your raster image isn't
too large you can set the following processing options to force
reprojection to always work from the complete full res image.

  PROCESSING "LOAD_FULL_RES_IMAGE=YES"
  PROCESSING "LOAD_WHOLE_IMAGE=YES"

They will have a significant performance impact if your
source image is large.

I hope this helps a bit.  World scale mapping is fraught with
peril, and we really need to develop a howto on some of the
issues and work arounds.

Best regards,

Amal,

 Can you confirm that your shapefile is in geographic (lat/long) coordinates?

 If not you'll have to set up a PROJECTION object for the map and layer.

Subject: queryable layer
Message-ID: <SAT.5.MAY.2007.184038.0200.>

Hi all,
I'm trying to implement a quaryable layer . The data are stored in three
files .shp .shp and dbf. In the last one there is the following  structure:
ADMAPKEY(int) , CENTER(string) , MYTEXT (string)
1 , 70282.3193,-20782.0280,this is a point of interest

I've added the following Layer in the .map file:             

LAYER 
NAME "Pointofint"
STATUS ON 
DATA "Pointofint"
TEMPLATE "ttt"
TYPE POINT 
UNITS METERS 
SIZEUNITS PIXELS 
LABELITEM "MYTEXT"
METADATA
"exported_values" "recenter_name_string,id_attribute_string"
"id_attribute_string" "ADMAPKEY"
"query_returned_attributes" "MYTEXT" 
END 
CLASS 
NAME "Pointofint"
STYLE 
SYMBOL "circle"
COLOR 255 0 0
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
SIZE 20
END 
END 
END 

I can see the layer but unfortunately no data has been returned . Is it
correct the layer definition ?
How can I check the chain to see where is the broken ring ?

Thanks in advantage and best regards

Message-ID: <SUN.6.MAY.2007.074936.0400.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi,

Is their a way to convert just the pure black pixels (0,0,0) around the
interior of a tile to 0,0,1?

I believe the solution is to first convert all the pure black pixels(0,0,0)
within a tile to 0,0,1 by remapping within gdalwarp

-srcnodata 0,0,0 -dstnodata 0,0,1

and then run nearblack to convert all the 0,0,1 values around the collar
back to pure black.  That way the interior black values stay at 0,0,1 so
later when the tiles are mocaicked via gdalwarp the only pixels that are
0,0,0 are around the collars of the tiles and the void/empty areas that the
mosaics creates, which can made invisible within mapserver via offsite
0,0,0.

Does this make sense and if all I want to do is convert the 0,0,1 values to
0,0,0 within near black then should I make the near black parameter (-near
1) instead of the default of value of 15?

Thanks,**

Thanks for your answer.
My distance measurement are very close (about 100 m) so the heart 
curvature has no influence.
Moreover, the raster dataset which is used for the measures (which has 
projected coordinates), is 1m resolution. So I think it's better for me 
to use trivial plane geometry.

Thanks again

Message-ID: <SUN.6.MAY.2007.142946.0200.PIERO.CAVALIERIGMAIL.COM>

Your TEMPLATE should be a valid html/xml file. For example, in a .map file:

LAYER
  NAME park
  METADATA
    "DESCRIPTION"   "Parks"
    "RESULT_FIELDS" "NAME_E YEAR_EST AREA_KMSQ"
  END
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS OFF
  DATA park
  CLASS
    NAME "Parks"
    COLOR 200 255 0
    OUTLINECOLOR 120 120 120
    TEMPLATE "templates/park.xml"
  END
  TOLERANCE 5
  HEADER "templates/layer_header.xml"
  FOOTER "templates/layer_footer.xml"
END # Layer

In TEMPLATE "templates/park.xml":

<record>
    <field name="Nome e." tooltip="1">[NAME_E]</field>
    <field name="Area [Km2]" tooltip="1">[AREA_KMSQ]</field>
</record>

[NAME_E] and [AREA_KMSQ] are replaced with  your 2 dbf field values for 
the query (i.e in your case you should use [CENTER] and [MYTEXT])

In this case, I also have:

HEADER "templates/layer_header.xml"
FOOTER "templates/layer_footer.xml"

With layer_header.xml:
<layer layerName="[cl]" resultsNumber="[nlr]">

and

layer_footer.xml:
</layer>

You need header and footer if you have multiple results for your query 
(because header and footer must be processed only once). For an html 
template file, footer is at the minimum </body></html> and header is 
<hml><head>aaa</head><body>. Than in TEMPLATE file you write html you 
use to have formatted info. The resulting output file must be a valid 
html file (if you use html template files, but you could define your own 
format, has I done, if you have to do some kind of processing before 
presenting results to the user).
I suggest you try with simple html template file. It should works. Also 
there should be an "Itasca" demo application,
if you look for that in Mapserver site.

Cheers
 Piero

John,

This sounds like a reasonable strategy, but you should be aware of a few 
problems using the current nearblack utility:

1) it only scans the right and left edges of an image and stops when it 
find N good pixels.

2) it unfortunately does not do a look ahead so it will "eat" N good 
pixels along the edges. This is not a problem if you have overlap in the 
edges, otherwise you get gaps between the tiles on the vertical edges.

3) because of 1) if you have data that is U shaped, ie: a strip down the 
right and left edges and across the bottom, none of the interior of the 
U will get scanned during near black because it is not efficient to scan 
pixels vertically.

So if you can live with these, then it should work fine. If not you 
might look at modifying nearblack to do what you want. I am doing that 
myself to fix some problems with images I have.

Subject: non-tiff (24 bit?) raster layers in 4.10
Message-ID: <MON.7.MAY.2007.173042.0200.PLISTSPROMETHEUS.ORG.YU>

I'ma bit curious on the status of non-tiff raster layer handling in the 4.10 
series of Mapserver. I'm a bit pressed for space on a server and tried some 
alternative formats for the raster data and have interesting results compared 
to what the docs on http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data say. 
For example, I tried converting to jp2 (with gdal_translate -of JPEG2000), 
and while the GDAL log says everything's OK using these files, the rasters do 
NOT appear (nor do they appear in GIF format, which I tried because it is not 
a 24bit format). The raster only appears if the input is PNG or TIFF, 
regardless of the output imagetype (jpeg, png, png24, etc). I'm using debian 
etch packages on this specific machine. Any ideas or pointers on the current 
state of affairs with non-tiff rasters ?

Attila,

I think the most important step is to compare the gdalinfo reports on the
original TIFF and the JPEG2000 file you produced.  I *suspect* that the
JasPer based JPEG2000 driver is not producing or reading the geolocation
information properly.  My understanding is that there is a particular
variant of JasPer (available from the gdal downloads area) that is needed
for georeferencing and this is likely not used on Debian.

The gdalinfo report should give an idea whether the geolocation info is
available or not.

MapServer works fine with different gdal supported formats, but that doesn't
mean that particular format drivers don't have special issues.

Best regards,

Subject: Proper way to set extent 'margins'
Message-ID: <MON.7.MAY.2007.084823.0700.BENJAMINSIMSYAHOO.COM>

Hello to all,

I'm getting confused on how to correctly set 'margins' on my maps in a simple application. I currently get the extents of the dynamically generated pointsLayer using:

pointsLayer->getExtent();

I then add/subtract arbitary margin values (0.75 for x, 0.5 for y). This works well enough at the country level, but at a wider (often global) scale, the points are cut off by the edge of the image.

What I would like to do is simply extend the extent viewed by the width of the largest possible point. However, I don't know how to convert the size of the points (in pixels) to a margin usable by  $map->setExtents().

Any help much appreciated,

Benjamin

Attila,

Several of the drivers support creating worldfiles by giving the
creation option WORLDFILE=YES.

You can use "gdalinfo --format gif" to find the options that apply to
the GIF format for instance.

Subject: Too many open files on mapserv 4.10.1
Message-ID: <MON.7.MAY.2007.130116.0500.BENECRIA.ORG.BR>

Hello,

   I am upgrading my mapserv applications to a new server. It starts working
with no problems, but after a while the mapserv application stops working.
After a lot of tests i discovered that the following Perl program works OK
using mapserv 4.2.0 in the old server , but returns with "Too many open
files" using mapserv 4.10.1 in the new server (it opens 23 files and die):


#-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$|=1;

use mapscript;

foreach (0..50)
{ print "$_ ";
  my $map = new
mapscript::mapObj('/home/mapcria/bin/data/mapfiles/default.map') or die
"Unable to open mapfile $!";
  undef $map;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------

$./tooManyOpenFilesBug 
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Unable to open
mapfile Too many open files at /home/xxx/tooManyOpenFilesBug 

#-------------------------------------------------------------





Does anybody have a hint on the problem? I need it opening a lot of files,
since I am using mapserv as a component of a web service and not as a CGI.

The versions I am using in the new server are:

Fedora Core 6 x86_64
Kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6  x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
GCC 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)

Sometimes worldfiles can be a bit tricky to use because of their naming. I can't make a test right now, but I think that for .jp2 files worldfiles  named as .j2w style work nowadays in GDAL.  I am sure that they have not worked always , but they had to be renamed with a general gdal extension .wld.  Other drivers probably deal the same problem of not recognizing the world file extension.  Try renaming a world file that works with SOME format to .wld, .tfw and (first and third letter of image format extension)+w to see if some of them works with a new format.

You can also use free demo application kdu_compress (from www.kakadusoftware.com) for compressing geotiffs to jpeg2000.  It transfers all the GeoTiff information inside jpeg2000 file so that also GDAL can use it.  However, because it gives you free hands to adjust all jpeg2000 creation parameters it is a bit tricky to use.  Despite that the current executables of v. 5.2.5 have a bug which may lead to faulty jpeg2000 if the original tiff is band interleaved (which is GDAL default).  If geotiffs are pixel interleaved (created by using GDAL tiff creation option -co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL) then everything will go OK.  The bug is found and corrected in Kakadu source and next version of demo application should work reliably with band interleaved images as well. But I have heard that Kakadu jpeg2000 driver in GDAL has been improved lately, so perhaps you can do all you want by using it.  I have not yet tried it myself.

Subject: Proper way to set extent 'margins'
Message-ID: <MON.7.MAY.2007.203112.0500.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

I usually express a margin as a percentage of the total extent. For example to add 10% you'd do something like:

where pntext is the extent of your points layer and mapext is your map extent...

  dx = .05 * (pntext->maxx - pntext->minx);
  dy = .05 * (pntext->maxy - pntext->miny);
  mapext->minx = pntext->minx - dx;
  mapext->maxx = pntext->maxx + dx;
  mapext->miny = pntext->miny - dy;
  mapext->maxy = pntext->maxy + dy;

Then let MapServer pad the appropriate dimension based on your image aspect.

structure:
ADMAPKEY(int) , CENTER(string) , MYTEXT (string)

I can see the layer but unfortunately no data has been returned . Is it
correct the layer definition ?
How can I check the chain to see where is the broken ring ?

Everything starts with a data set that is rendered as a map, but how

Message-ID: <TUE.8.MAY.2007.090745.0200.ML.DJEGEOCONTENT.DE>

Hello,

in a map file I have several layers that have a style which is a 
combination of several symbols. For some reason the mapserver only uses 
the last style element if the output format is set to a RGB format, e.g. 
PNG24 or JPEG. If the output format is PC256, e.g. 8 bit PNG, all styles 
are used, and the resulting image is ok. I have attached an excerpt from 
the map file and the symbol definitions. Further, there are three images 
showing the result using two of the defined output formats.

Is there anything wrong with the definitions?

We are currently using Mapserver/MapScript 4.10.0 on Windows.

Kind regards,
Dirk

This is not considered a bug.

For 5.0 there is talk about introducing a QUERYABLE keyword instead (with
values true/false).

I think the question is the same as if you can reach any other internal
website. If your network has a DNS, use the hostname instead of IP. If you
are testing on your machine, use localhost (or the hostname).
If you use a DynDNS service to go outside, use the not resolved url (who
write IP in the URL ?).

        but when I try it with my mapserver, I can't work. i think maybe there is something wrong with my mapserver. I use the ms4w.
        I can get it work with the local data.
        can anybody tell me what's wrong?

Hmmpf - my Email-layout looked complete different: It should look like 
the above without all the recurrence of 
<http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/www/ms101/layer_wms.map&layer=modis&mode=map>

Don't know what happened there, maybe the brackets drove hom to do that ...

Subject: Mapserver & NAVTEQ material
Message-ID: <TUE.8.MAY.2007.151416.0300.PASI.PATAMAGMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I've been configuring a mapserver for my (k)ubuntu 7.04. I installed
packets from kubuntu repositories and it works quite ok. I do also
have NAVTEQ material of Europe in my directory and I have been
playingwith benelux map for mapserver.

I would like to use this MAPINFO material (TAB files) with mapserver.
I managed to get some results with provided examples and directly
calling mapserv cgi-bin program:

1. This request :
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?zoom=3&map=/var/www/demo/demo.map&mode=map&layer=B3_MajHwys&layer=B3_LandUseA&layer=B3_WaterWys

Produces nice image: http://www.kolumbus.fi/~ppatama/mapserver/test.gif

But I cannot 'zoom in'.

2. I have also managed to get some results with itasca demo packet,
provided map data works nicely but when I try to integrate this NAVTEQ
material to example, I lost functionality.

Here are my example files:

http://www.kolumbus.fi/~ppatama/mapserver/demo.map
http://www.kolumbus.fi/~ppatama/mapserver/demo.html
http://www.kolumbus.fi/~ppatama/mapserver/demo_footer.html
http://www.kolumbus.fi/~ppatama/mapserver/demo_header.html
http://www.kolumbus.fi/~ppatama/mapserver/demo_init.html

I got basicly the same map as
http://www.kolumbus.fi/~ppatama/mapserver/test.gif but when ever I try
to zoom in or pan, I lost view to map.

mapserv log's these, when accessed with above demo.html:

So my question is;

1. How I can zoom in by calling mapserv (as in point 1) directly ?
(I have tried zoom, no luck).

2. How do I get this demo example (as in point 2) to behave nicely
with MAPINFO's TAB files ? Now I can only see first produced map
(http://www.kolumbus.fi/~ppatama/mapserver/snapshot1.png), accessing
zoom or pan makes map disappear.

Some extra information of my navteq maps:

Hi

...??? 
No need to "implement". Just add
PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"
in your mapfile.
Mapserver will reuse connections "as much as possible".

It looks that your map file has too many "END" for each layer.
Should be something like this:

 LAYER
NAME "Build"
STATUS default
TYPE line
DATA "build"
CLASS
STYLE
COLOR 0 0 0
END # ends style
END # ends class
END # ends layer


I think the fourth END for the first LAYER ends the whole map file.

Subject: vector symbol origin not collocated at POINT?
Message-ID: <TUE.8.MAY.2007.115909.0400.CPLISTSECONDCREEK.ORG>

Hi, all:

Is there any way to have the starting point of a vector symbol as its origin
rather than the center of the final vector?  I have looked on the symbols
page as well as carto how-to and can't seem to find an answer.

I want to avoid having to compute offsets because I eventually want to
rotate these items.  And that wreaks havoc on those offset #'s.

See the attached image.  The circle is at POINT(x,y).  No problem.  But so
is the *center* of the vector.

The little vector is defined as:

SYMBOL
  NAME 'ln'
  TYPE vector
  POINTS
    0 0
    0 1
  END
END

But I guess (0,0) from the vector definition above doesn't really mean the
same thing as POINT(x,y)?

The circle symbol is the standard:

Symbol
  Name 'circle'
  Type ELLIPSE
  Filled TRUE
  Points
    1 1
  END
END

I want to avoid using a true type symbol if possible (since I only want it
to grow in length -- not width) or saving something like the attached as a
bitmap symbol because that messes up the crispness of the black edge when
transparency arrives on the scene.

I did poke around the listserv but found nothing apropos.

Many thanks,

Charlton

Here is an example w/ all goodies attached.

I think you're right, Steve, the POSITION sounds like it would work.  But
you'd still need to pick what part of the symbol will serve as the anchor --
so I guess that would always be the 1st point?  That would work for me.

I am trying to do a one-to-many join to a .dbf file and am not getting
the results I want.  I was wondering if anyone has had a similar
problem.  I keep getting back one record with the my join table field
not being replaced.  If I remove the template from the class object I
don't get any features returned.  Do I have the join defined
incorrectly?  Here is what my layer definition looks like and my HTML
template.

By picking a position you'd move the whole symbol relative to the anchor point. Wouldn't matter if
it is first or last.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly

disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has

hi all
i have a problem querying a postgis polygon layer with php/mapscript.  
the layer is displayed correctly, but whenever i want to query it,  
queryByPoint returns MS_FAILURE.

here is the layer definition:

LAYER

end

and the php code to query it:

$layer_fuel_age = $map->getLayerByName('fuel_age');
$retActiveQuery = $layer_fuel_age->queryByPoint($my_point, MS_SINGLE,  
0);

there is one more query before this one that uses the same map and  
the same my_point on a postgis point layer. this query works. i just  
can't get this polygon layer to work.

any ideas?

thanks
florian

Jpeg2000 has enourmous number of creation options.  All compressed jpeg2000 images do not guarantee fast random access to image at different resolutions, which are usually the main needs for geospatial imagery.  Nor can all the drivers handle compressed jpeg2000 in an effective way. You'll have something to compare with if you browse your images with kdu_show browser. Just as an example, here is a parameter set for kdu_compress that should result in pretty fast browseable, in this case lossless jpeg2000 image for you. The resulting image can also be served very well over internet with JPIP server. I believe the most important parameters here are Corder=RPCL witch will help in random access, and CLevels=7 which creates 6 lower resolution levels (overviews) into the code stream. The others are more like fine tuning.  Notice, that because jpeg2000 codestreams behave progressively, building overviews do not increase filesize.  External overviews are not needed with jpeg2000, but with Mapserver they are practical because Mapserver is much faster with tiffs.  

kdu_compress -i infile.tif -o outfile.jp2 -rate - Clevels=7 Clayers=20 Creversible=yes Cycc=no Cprecincts={256,256},{128,128} Corder=RPCL Cblk={32,32} ORGgen_plt=yes ORGgen_tlm=8 ORGtparts=R -cpu 0 -mem

Sorry, but I did not understand this part totally, could you clarify a bit?

Hi Wang,

Have you solved your WMS problem?

Here is a working sample of LAYER definition for JPL's WMS.
It seems yours doesn't have wms_onlineresource in METADATA and NAME 
(which layer you want to get).

   LAYER
     CONNECTION "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?"
     CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
       METADATA
         "wms_srs"	"EPSG:4326"
         "wms_onlineresource"	"http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?"
         "wms_latlonboundingbox"	"-180 -55 180 60"
         "wms_name"	"srtm_mag"
         "wms_format"	"image/jpeg"
         "wms_server_version"	"1.1"
         "wms_style"	""
         "wms_title"	"srtm_mag"
       END
     NAME "srtm_mag"
     PROJECTION
       "init=epsg:4326"
     END
     SIZEUNITS PIXELS
     STATUS ON
     TOLERANCE 0
     TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS
     TYPE RASTER
     UNITS METERS
   END

Hope this helps.

I did play around with Clayers and Clevels, I originally missed Corder, 
retried now with it but it had no apparent impact on .jp2 performance under 
Mapserver :( This is what I get with a single layer, with just one tile in it 
(zoomed out to around a 100x100 pix resulting tile in the image).

time shp2img -m jp2test.map -o /tmp/aaa.png
GDAL: GDALClose()

JPEG2000: IHDR box found. Dump: width=5000, height=5000, numcmpts=3, bpp=8
JPEG2000: Component 0: bpp=8, signedness=0
JPEG2000: Component 1: bpp=8, signedness=0
JPEG2000: Component 2: bpp=8, signedness=0
GDAL: GDALOpen(/ortofoto/75790_48000.jp2) succeeds as JPEG2000.

GDAL: GDALClose(/ortofoto/75790_48000.jp2)

GDAL: GDALDeregister_GTiff() called.
real    1m9.276s
user    0m33.546s
sys     0m3.524s

So it seems to me no overviews or similar format inherent options were 
actually used. The odd thing is that mapserver/gdal/jasper/whoever spent half 
of the time outside of userspace, possibly mucking around on the disk 
(the .jp2 file itself is ~16MB).

Unfortunately I don't have kdu_show at hand (no windows boxen on the site :
( ), but using kdu_render it DOES go much, much faster (takes less than 10 
sec for rendering the whole 5000x5000 file into a bmp).

for example 'identify 75790_48000_i.tif' gives:
75790_48000_i.tif[0] TIFF 5000x5000 DirectClass 78.3mb 0.700u 0:11
75790_48000_i.tif[1] TIFF 2500x2500 DirectClass 78.3mb 0.380u 0:09
75790_48000_i.tif[2] TIFF 1250x1250 DirectClass 78.3mb 0.070u 0:03
75790_48000_i.tif[3] TIFF 625x625 DirectClass 78.3mb
75790_48000_i.tif[4] TIFF 313x313 DirectClass 78.3mb

since tif is a container format. The trouble is that the other images are not 
necessarily overviews, they can be specific thumbnails, etc. When I do a 
kdu_compress on such a file, the result will be a _single_ JPC image in the 
tif. There might of course be a magic option for it in the jungle of 
kakadu/jp2 options, but have not run across it.

Please tell the gd version you are using and report the header of
hs_error log. Gd versions before the very recent 2.0.34 have a number
of known bugs that could crash mapserver, but none (if I recall
correctly) on gdImageSetPixel.

Hey List,

I want to establish a connection between mapserver (pmapper client) and a
MySQL-DB.
It works fine with smaller queries like "select id,x,y from table". Actually
i don't have a problem with such little things.
If the queries getting more complex I get the results only in the Terminal
window with ogrinfo.
Such a query is
"SELECT ALL
       MG.MC_Name_col AS MCName,
       M1.`AttribValueNum_col` AS x,
       M2.`AttribValueNum_col` AS y
  FROM MeasCampGlobal_tbl MG, MeasCampAttrib_tbl M1
         LEFT OUTER JOIN IdRefStr_tbl I1
           ON M1.AttribType_id=I1.id,
       MeasCampAttrib_tbl M2
         LEFT OUTER JOIN IdRefStr_tbl I2
           ON M2.AttribType_id=I2.id
  WHERE M1.MeasCampGlobal_tbl_id=MG.idMeasCampGlobal_tbl
    AND M2.MeasCampGlobal_tbl_id=MG.idMeasCampGlobal_tbl
    AND MC_WWTPRef_col = 'Bleesbr?ck'
    AND I1.RefStr_col = 'Att_WWTP_CoordX'
    AND I2.RefStr_col = 'Att_WWTP_CoordY'"
As I said only results are displayed in the Terminal with the ogrinfo tool.
Mapserver hangs up.

Any Ideas???

System is Ubuntu Edgy, Mapserver 4.10, GDAL 1.4

Thanks in advance,

Christian,

No obvious reason comes to mind why this would fail.  I'd encourage you
to test with "shp2img" on your mapfile and turn on as much debugging
as you can, including setting the CPL_DEBUG environment variable to
ON to see GDAL/OGR debug output.

I suspect:
  1) some sort of quoting issue in the map file.
  2) a feature id problem interfering with queries.

But both are quite weak theories.

Debug output might give you some additional clues.

Best regards,

What about the hs_errorlog file which is generated by Java when such
errors occur?
Please tell os and mapserver version, configure (build) options and,
that goes by itself, what you were doing when IT happened ;-)

Argh... Mixup in the build script- my fault. For 5.0 we are including those files
in the SVN tree and I mistakenly removed that step from the 4.10.2 script. Will
repackage.

I did some time ago a quick comparison about Mapserver speed with GeoTIFF, ECW, and jpeg2000 with JP2ECW and JP2KAK drivers.   Then GeoTIFF was, not surprisingly, the fastest followed by ECW and jpeg2000 with JP2ECW (ER Mapper) driver.  Jpeg2000 with Kakadu driver was slowest of those at that time.  I have read that GDAL Kakadu driver has been updated a few weeks ago and is a lot faster now. Jasper jpeg2000 driver I have never tried.  You must not accept the speed you are feeling now.  Mapserver can for sure show that little jpeg2000 image in less than two seconds instead of two minutes.  If you wish I can set up a WMS service for you so you have something to compare with. Just send me a personal email about that, my home ADSL connection is too slow for the whole mailing list.

You cannot do that directly with Kakadu demo software.  Kakadu is after all software development kit, even if it does offer some ready made executables.  However, if you explode your existing tiffs first into 1-channel or 3-channel tiffs you can compress them all together into multichannel jp2 file (from greyscales) or alternatively to .jpx file which can contain almost anything you can imagine.  However, I haven't been able to use my own jpx images for anything really useful yet  because not many software support jpx files which contain several codestreams.

If you would like to save a lot of disk space without loosing more than 50% of speed with Mapserver I would recommend you to try ECW format.  By the way, ER Mapper ECW compressor is also a fast jpeg2000 compressor and it does not give too many dazzling options for the user.

Hi,

Mapserver-4.10.2

If I try to open a mapfile with a symbolfile with pixmap symbols it crashs.
I already try to use shp2img and I have a segmentation fault

Subject: changing name for generated maps in ms_tmp directory
Message-ID: <WED.9.MAY.2007.070642.0700.MALTEAHRENSARCOR.DE>

Hi,
I'm building a very simple, static webpage with images (200+) generetad
through mapserver. These images are not located on the same machine as they
were generated - to link the images I need mapserver to write the maps with
a predefined name (instead of
474d54c78eb892c470ef5e0959b056bb1178630666076768600.png).

Example:
3 Layers: wood.shp,water.shp,mountain.shp (defined in Mapfile)
The name of the images in the image-tmp directory created by Mapserver
should be wood.png, water.png, mountain.png, so i can reference them in my
static webpage.

Can somebody give me a hint to solve this problem? Where is the random name
generated and how to tell the mapserver to produce images with the name of
the shapefile?

with king regards,
Malte

Hi, list.

ok, i am able to get polygon extents.
but the query string is made using a pixel referrencing based on previous

there's a way to tell MapServer to query using georeferrencing units? or
maybe any way to convert the pixel units to georreferencial?

i'm using an application based on GMap and i've seen some GMapPix2Geo
function on the code. this could be used on the query string?

I would use shp2img to do this. It doesn't sound like you need to use the CGI because there is nothing dynamic. Could also write a simple script to do it. With shp2img or a script you have total control over the output names.

Steve

(BTW the unique id is generated for sure in the CGI (mapserv.c) and perhaps MapScript has that ability, that I'm not sure about though.)

Hi Eduardo: Sure, this is no problem. All the query routines expect map units (not pixels) and it's the CGI program that does that conversion before-hand.

To query by point use mapxy, by bbox use mapext and by shape use mapshp. For example:

  http://.../cgi-bin/mapserv?map=my.map&mode=query&qlayer=parcels&mapxy=1234.5678+1234.5678

Subject: Assessment on Mapserver "Packages"
Message-ID: <THU.10.MAY.2007.093730.0200.STEFAN.SCHWARZERGRID.UNEP.CH>

Hi there,

recent years have shown a steady increase in mapserver software  
packages, such as ka-map, chameleon, cartoweb, primagis etc. etc.

It's difficult to keep track of all these developments and get, once  
a new project gets started, an overview over the different tools and  
their functionalities.

So, the question is: Does anyone know of any kind of (comparative)  
"assessment" of these products? Which tools exists, what language  
they use, what technology, what functionality etc. etc.?

Thanks for any hints,

Stefan

PrimaGIS is for Zope and Plone developers only. It marshals CMS content 
into maps and allows you to manage map configurations using the CMS 
framework. It is largely based on contract work I did for UNFCCC in 
2004-2005.

PrimaGIS uses MapServer as a rendering engine, but is not otherwise a 
MapServer package. There are no mapfiles, no mapserver templates. Maps 
are configured using objects modeled after SLD, and we use Zope (TAL) 
page templates and viewlets.

I'm not aware of any comparative assessments.

Cheers,
Sean

As this is for mostly archival purposes, and the machine in question has no 
dev tools so I'm limited to standard Debian packages, it will do for the time 
being. I have seen some refreshes in Sid, (1.4.1-4+b1 has appeared, but only 
as a standalone GDAL lib/util, the Mapserver packages in Sid are still 
compiled against 1.3.2, which leads to a version conflict ATM). I certainly 
will retry when I have the time to build my own package or Sid has a working 
Mapserver install again. Thanks for your tips in any case.

Yes, that's what I said, too :) The perhaps simpler way of doing this is via 
tiffcp (which comes with libtiff-utils or libtiff-bin if you're on linux) 
which does just this - moves/copies layers around in tif files, converting 
them if necessary.

thank you for your return!

you have to put the styles-parameter explicit into the connection-string
 
CONNECTION "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?styles=";

obviously mapserver 4.10 don't use the metadata-tag wms_styles. Older
mapserver added on default the styles= to the request

I have tried that, but it doesn't work.

thanks, Steve, but there's one thing i didn't understand:

when MapServer do the query, it uses the georreferencial units, ok. but, it
uses pixels to do the zooming thing. like this:

###############

... var_minxp=&var_minx=-
38.234122&var_miny=-11.52665&var_maxx=-34.594394&var_maxy=-8.133178&minx=-38.736107&miny=-11.526650&maxx=-34.092409&maxy=-8.133178
...
CMD=QUERY_POINT&INPUT_TYPE=auto_rect&INPUT_COORD=168%2C180%3B216%2C225

###############

the final part is used to do the zoom. with ROSA tool it works, but i'm
trying to do this using a search string with a text box. my function do
this:

###############

function determinaQSTRING() {
        var hostPar = "http://localhost:82/zaal/al.php?";
        var keymapPar = "KEYMAPXSIZE=100&KEYMAPYSIZE=75&";
        var layerFixa = "Limite_Estadual_AL=Y&grid=Y&";
        var layer = document.pesquisa.layersList.value;
        var modePar = "&CMD=QUERY_POINT&INPUT_TYPE=auto_rect&";
        var imagePar = "imagewidth=760&imageheight=570";
        var queryEntry = document.pesquisa.busca.value;
        var operador = document.pesquisa.operadores.value;
        var minx = "minx=-37.561294&";
        var miny = "miny=-9.304462&";
        var maxx = "maxx=-37.228709&";
        var maxy = "maxy=-9.160048&";
        document.pesquisa.qstring.value = "(\"[NOME]\" "+ operador +" /"+
queryEntry +"/)";
        window.opener.document.location = hostPar + keymapPar + layerFixa +
layer + "=Y&" + minx + miny + maxx + maxy + imagePar + modePar +
"INPUT_COORD=";
}

###############

i've tried to change the minx, miny, etc vars to get the actual size of
queried layers using the [shpxy] and [shpminx], etc. i'm still trying to
figure it out, but i've already tested using the exactly coordinates - just
as in the function above - and didn't work.
when the query is made through the search string, it gets this INPUT_COORD
to zoom. and it uses pixel units. i think if i could convert the pixel units
to georreferencial it will work.

sorry to bother and all, but i'm really stuck with it.

thanks in advance :)

Subject: Mapfile creation including PostGIS layer with changing table
 (view) name?
Message-ID: <FRI.11.MAY.2007.141417.0200.PETERSJAGMX.AT>

Hello list,

I have a question concerning the following problem:

I have a webapplication that creates (via an SQL query) a view in my PostGres database. Then I display this view via mapserver. Mapfile code looks as follows:

-----8<-----------------------
LAYER
   NAME firmen_psql
   TYPE POINT
   STATUS ON
   CONNECTION "user=blabla password=bla dbname=foo host=localhost port=5432"
   CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
   DATA "the_geom from v_iis_over"
-----8<-----------------------

That works perfectly. Now I want to have multiple users query the database, creating views according to e.g. a session id, e.g:

"v_iis_over_[sessionId]"

Now my problem is, that I would need different mapfiles containing the different table (view) names to accomplish a correct display of the query results for each user. Is it e.g. possible to hand over the new (view) id via an http request? Or do I have to create a new mapfile each time a new session is created?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance again

Jan Peters-Anders

Subject: Accessing images using time dimension.
Message-ID: <FRI.11.MAY.2007.141001.0100.DAVE.WEAVERZEN.CO.UK>

I'm having some difficulty displaying images using the WMS TIME=
parameter to select different time periods. I've scoured the
documentation, and although I get the general idea I don't see any
document that explains the basic steps needed to get this working (the
"WMS Time Support" document gives a rough idea, but misses out on some
of the details), so I suspect I've missed something or got something
wrong, but I've no idea what!

This is what I've done:

* I have done the following in Postgis:

 create table satellite (image_path text, image_time timestamp);
 select AddGeometryColumn('satellite', 'the_geom', 4326, 'POLYGON', 2);
 insert into satellite (image_path, image_time, the_geom) values,
'/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/images/sat1.tiff', '2007-05-11 10:00Z',
null);
 insert into satellite (image_path, image_time, the_geom) values
('/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/images/sat2.tiff', '2007-05-11
11:00Z', null);

*  My .map file has (amongst others) these layers:

 LAYER
   NAME            "time_idx"
   TYPE            POLYGON
   STATUS          ON
   CONNECTIONTYPE  POSTGIS
   CONNECTION      "dbname=map host=localhost"
   DATA            "the_geom from satellite using unique oid using srid = 4326"
   METADATA
       "wms_title"         "time index"
       "wms_srs"           "EPSG:4326"
       "wms_timeextent"    "2007-01-01/2007-12-31"
       "wms_timeitem"      "image_time" #a column in postgis table of
type timestamp
       "wms_timedefault"   "2007-05-11T10:00:00Z"
   END
 END

 LAYER
   NAME    "sat"
   METADATA
       "wms_title"         "Satellite"
       "wms_srs"           "EPSG:4326"
       "wms_timeextent"    "2007-01-01/2007-12-31"
       "wms_timeitem"      "image_time" #a column in postgis table of
type timestamp
       "wms_timedefault"   "2007-05-11T10:00:00Z"
   END
   STATUS  ON
   TYPE    RASTER
   PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:4326"
   END
   TILEINDEX "time_idx"        # Layer name containing time index
   TILEITEM  "image_path"      # DB column containing path to image
 END

* The URL I'm using to access the data is:
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/postgis2.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=world,sat,radar&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=false&&BBOX=-90,-25,90,85&TIME=2007-05-11T11:00

When I use this URL in my browser I see the underlying vector map
layer, but no satellite image appears.

So...

1) What am I doing wrong (or not doing at all) ?

2) Am I right in thinking the geometry column can be null and the rows
will still be considered, depending on image_time ?

3) Is the duplication of the metadata in the 2 layers above necessary?
I've done it this way because that's what's in the example in the "WMS
Time Support" document, but do I really need to repeat all this
information?

4) How can I debug this - is there some way I can find out *why* it's
not displaying the raster layer? Is there maybe some way to show which
time periods it's considering?

5) Is there some basic HowTo document that explains what I'm trying to
do? (I couldn't find one).

Thanks a lot
Dave.

Faced with a similar problem, of a sessionid defining which shapefiles I
wanted to use, I used PHP/Mapscript instead of "pure Mapserver" I did
something like the following, and a similar trick could definitely be done
with PostGIS even more easily.


LAYER
  NAME "gpstracks"
  DATA ""
  ...blah blah...
END

Then in PHP/Mapscript, something like:
$map->getLayerByName('gpstracks')->data = "$sessionid.shp";


Mapserver is good, but it isn't a programming language. Fortunately, it
includes Mapscript so you can use a real language to manipulate it.

Hi Jan,

Here is another possibility.

You may want to try parameters in mapfiles.

For example, if you want to parameterize the view name, add to the query 
string a key and value pair something like:
   view=view_name
where view is the key and view_name is the actual name of the view.

The layer definition in the mapfile should look like:
(Essential part only)

LAYER
   NAME "yourlayer"
   METADATA
    ...
   END
   CONNECTION "..."
   CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS		
   DATA "_geom from (SELECT your_columns FROM %view%) USING UNIQUE
   oid   USING SRID=-1"
END	

Note that the parameter is referred to as %view% in the mapfile.
Also you can use parameters in WHERE clause.

If you need a session id that is given by PHP or something, you can 
create a small code that just gets the session id and redirects to 
Mapserver with the session id in the query string.


Hope this helps.

Ei

Message-ID: <SAT.12.MAY.2007.130849.0300.JUKKA.RAHKONENMMMTIKE.FI>

Hello,

For some reasons there are two versions of Finnish KKJ parameters hanging around in the projection libraries.  I checked that the situation is the same at least in MS4W and FW Tools Windows packages.  In the files "\FWTools1.2.2\proj_lib\epsg" and "\ms4w\proj\nad\epsg" the definition are like this:
<2393> +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=27 +k=1.000000 +x_0=3500000 +y_0=0 +ellps=intl +units=m +no_defs  <>

In the same directories the corresponding "esri" files include also the towgs84 parameters:
<2393> +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=27 +k=1.000000 +x_0=3500000 +y_0=0 +ellps=intl +towgs84=-90.7,-106.1,-119.2,4.09,0.218,-1.05,1.37 +units=m +no_defs  no_defs <>

In practice this means that if you re-project something to/from anything else than between the KKJ zones
a) Projections given as epsg:2393 and esri:2393 (or taken from esri .prj file) will lead to different result.
b) If epsg-reference is used the result is always wrong resulting to something like 100-150 metre position error.

I think that the definitions in epsg file should be corrected. Or is there some reason, historical or other, for not including the towgs84 parameters there?

Regards,

-Jukka Rahkonen-

I am using version 4.9cvs(FWTools1.3.0) of the CGI MapServer.  I

Hello wangtao,
 
my environment is windows xp with iis 5.0. For MapServer I have set my own
environment with the files get from the ms4w distribution. If you are using
apache, i have no experience.
 
Perhaps your problem is the missing permission of your mapserver to write in
the tmp dir.
 
Mit freundlichen Gr?ssen

to Arnd Wippermann,
     I don't think my path has problem, because I can get the mapfile with
local data work. I use the ms4w (mapserver for windows), can you tell me if
you setup the mapserver by yourself? I think maybe the ms4w has problem.

I use apache.Now I can find the image generated by the mapserver under the tmp directory, but the image's name is added with ms_tmp prefix, Browser cann't find the image.
I set the 
    IMAGEPATH                      "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp"    
    
    IMAGEURL                       "/ms_tmp/"

the image should be generated under the "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp" directory, but it appear under "/ms4w/tmp/",
another thing is that the name of image is added with a ms_tmp prefix.

thanks for everyone!
now I can show the image in my browser.

I think that my main problem is that
    CONNECTION "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?styles="
I should add the "styles="

the path problem is that 
    IMAGEPATH                      "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"       
    
    IMAGEURL                       "/ms_tmp/"
I should make the path like this when I use ms4w under windows,  pay attention not to miss the slash "/".
if you miss the slash"/", for example, "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp". Image will be showed under  tmp  directory.
it's name willed be added with the ms_tmp prefix.

thanks for everyone again!
i am glad to find some help from you!

MAXFEATURESIZE doesn't seem to work with POINT layers.
Is this normal behaviour? It doesn't seem to be explicitely pointed
out in teh documentation.
I'm using Chameleon, don't know if this changes anything though.

I don't totally follow what you are doing. Do you want a map with
multiple parcels highlited? If so, try putting the
"multi_parcel_selected.html" template in the  HEADER instead of the
TEMPLATE. This will group all parcels into one map, as opposed to
using the TEMPLATE, which will return a separate map for each parcel.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the reply.  Everything is working fine for the "Parcel
Selected" class.  The problem I am having is in the "Multi-Interest
Parcel" class.  The parcels represent properties like condos where there
are multiple owners associated with one polygon.  I have a table that
relates to those polygons and would like to display all the owners in
the query template using a one-to-many join.  When I do an nquery on one
of those multi-owner polygons, it returns attributes from the data
source in the layer, but nothing from the join .dbf file.  

Just wondering if any one else has tried to only use the one-to-many
join where you only want it to join for one class in your layer.  Maybe
this is not possible and I should try to separate these two classes into
separate layers?

Thanks,
Brian

So you are not trying to draw a map highliting multiple parcel
polygons, you want to display attribute data (like owner name,
address, etc.) for multiple records associated with a single polygon.
Am I right?  I have an application in which I am doing something like
this and I can say that it is pretty straight forward. Unfortunately,
the app where I'm doing it is not publicly accessible so you can not
easily see it, and I'm traveling, so I can not easily attach any code
snippets.

More generally, I've struggled wit the
condo-as-one-to-many-relationship issue for years, and basically, I
don't see condos as one-to-many, they are one-to-one. Put a spatial
object (either a point, or a small polygon) on the map for each record
in your table.

Subject: Accessing images using time dimension.
Message-ID: <MON.14.MAY.2007.035229.0500.DAVE.WEAVERZEN.CO.UK>

(Apologies if this is a duplicate - I posted on Friday but haven't seen the
message appear on the list, so I'm trying once again...)

I'm having some difficulty displaying images using the WMS TIME=
parameter to select different time periods. I've scoured the
documentation, and although I get the general idea I don't see any
document that explains the basic steps needed to get this working (the
"WMS Time Support" document gives a rough idea, but misses out on some
of the details), so I suspect I've missed something or got something
wrong, but I've no idea what!

This is what I've done:

* I have done the following in Postgis:

 create table satellite (image_path text, image_time timestamp);
 select AddGeometryColumn('satellite', 'the_geom', 4326, 'POLYGON', 2);
 insert into satellite (image_path, image_time, the_geom) values,
'/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/images/sat1.tiff', '2007-05-11 10:00Z',
null);
 insert into satellite (image_path, image_time, the_geom) values
('/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/images/sat2.tiff', '2007-05-11
11:00Z', null);

*  My .map file has (amongst others) these layers:

 LAYER
   NAME            "time_idx"
   TYPE            POLYGON
   STATUS          ON
   CONNECTIONTYPE  POSTGIS
   CONNECTION      "dbname=map host=localhost"
   DATA            "the_geom from satellite using unique oid using srid = 4326"
   METADATA
       "wms_title"         "time index"
       "wms_srs"           "EPSG:4326"
       "wms_timeextent"    "2007-01-01/2007-12-31"
       "wms_timeitem"      "image_time" #a column in postgis table of
type timestamp
       "wms_timedefault"   "2007-05-11T10:00:00Z"
   END
 END

 LAYER
   NAME    "sat"
   METADATA
       "wms_title"         "Satellite"
       "wms_srs"           "EPSG:4326"
       "wms_timeextent"    "2007-01-01/2007-12-31"
       "wms_timeitem"      "image_time" #a column in postgis table of
type timestamp
       "wms_timedefault"   "2007-05-11T10:00:00Z"
   END
   STATUS  ON
   TYPE    RASTER
   PROJECTION
     "init=epsg:4326"
   END
   TILEINDEX "time_idx"        # Layer name containing time index
   TILEITEM  "image_path"      # DB column containing path to image
 END

* The URL I'm using to access the data is:
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/postgis2.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&amp;LAYERS=world,sat,radar&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=false&&amp;BBOX=-90,-25,90,85&TIME=2007-05-11T11:00

When I use this URL in my browser I see the underlying vector map
layer, but no satellite image appears.

So...

1) What am I doing wrong (or not doing at all) ?

2) Am I right in thinking the geometry column can be null and the rows
will still be considered, depending on image_time ?

3) Is the duplication of the metadata in the 2 layers above necessary?
I've done it this way because that's what's in the example in the "WMS
Time Support" document, but do I really need to repeat all this
information?

4) How can I debug this - is there some way I can find out *why* it's
not displaying the raster layer? Is there maybe some way to show which
time periods it's considering?

5) Is there some basic HowTo document that explains what I'm trying to
do? (I couldn't find one).

Thanks a lot
Dave.

Hi,

I agree, that EPSG file could be corrected to get more correct results.

The question in my opinion is, what towgs84 parameters should be used. I 
do not know the history of the current ESRI file parameters, but in the 
official recomendation for coordinate transformations from KKJ to EUREF 
(JHS 153, 
http://www.jhs-suositukset.fi/intermin/hankkeet/jhs/home.nsf/files/JHS153/$file/JHS153.pdf 
   , page 12) the parameters have somewhat different values.. And it has 
been said, that the same paramaters as in JHS 153 could be used also for 
transformations to WGS84.

In practice it seemed to me, that though the parameter values in JHS 153 
and ESRI file are quite significantly different, the resulting geometry 
differences are rather small (less than 1 m). At least when compared to 
case, when no towgs84 parameters were used.

The second thing is that the epsg codes 3386 and 3387 (KKJ0 and KKJ5) 
should be updated in a similar way.

K?lli Tiits

Message-ID: <MON.14.MAY.2007.053206.0500.HELENAGARCIAGRUPOTECOPY.ES>

Hi all!

I have a problem when I try to access a MySQL layer by means of an OGR
virtual data. The fact is that if I load data with 

<SrcSQL>select * from mytable</SrcSQL>

this returns all the rows I need.

But if I write a stored procedure such that it returns the same select *
from mytable, and then I load data with

<SrcSQL>CALL myStoredProcedure</SrcSQL>

 the result is just the first row in the table, although if I run this
stored procedure in MySQL the result is all the rows in the table.


I?ve seen that it?s neccessary to add FID tag in these cases, and so I?ve
done, but the result is the same.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

Rich,

You are correct, I am just trying to display attribute data from the

So you are not trying to draw a map highliting multiple parcel polygons,
you want to display attribute data (like owner name, address, etc.) for
multiple records associated with a single polygon.
Am I right?  I have an application in which I am doing something like
this and I can say that it is pretty straight forward. Unfortunately,
the app where I'm doing it is not publicly accessible so you can not
easily see it, and I'm traveling, so I can not easily attach any code
snippets.

More generally, I've struggled wit the
condo-as-one-to-many-relationship issue for years, and basically, I
don't see condos as one-to-many, they are one-to-one. Put a spatial
object (either a point, or a small polygon) on the map for each record
in your table.

I don't know if this will help, but here is an example of displaying
attribute data from a one-to-many relationship:

I don't think so, but am not sure.  I insert the actual extent geometry as 
well for my working config here.  Can you try that once and see if that 
works for you?

Jukka,

The epsg file is generated from the EPSG database and only includes towgs84
parameters for geographic coordinate systems that have one, and only one,
transformation from that GCS to WGS84 using 3 or 7 parameter transformations.

If there are multiple ways (multiple sets of parameters) then to be "safe"
none of them are used.

I don't know if that is the case in for KKJ or not without quite a bit of
digging.

If there was one clearly preferred set of parameters that you and everyone
else can agree on, then I can set an override in the epsg file generation
process to use that.  But I don't like to be in the position where I add
them at one persons suggestion, and then someone else emails me suggesting
different values.

Best regards,

I looked the EPSG database now. And yes, it is the case. There are two 
sets of parameters available, both 7 parameter. The old (or currently 
used in the esri:239x) parameters have also the comment that they have 
been superseded with the new version 2. The ver2 parameteres are almost 
the same as in the *official* Finnish standard, they have just less 
digits after comma..

I do not know, how the ESRI coordinate system list is generated, but in 
newer ESRI software also both of these transformations are available.

So in my opinion the correct way would be to use the version 2 
parameters from the EPSG database.

I think this field does not need any more digging from you but the Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI) has done that already.  The yield was the set of parameters that K?lli was referring to. I believe that they really are those that should be used as default, but I will discuss with my colleagues at FGI first and let them to say the final word. KKJ parameters has been an irritating problem with every GIS package giving their own slightly different parameters, some of them having up to three sets to select from, and some shipped with totally wrong defaults. Unfortunately KKJ system has also local distortions which mean that even the best parameters can lead to 1-2 meter errors if used nationwide.  But let's see if I can get a clear recommendation from FGI.

Message-ID: <MON.14.MAY.2007.215236.0200.ARNDWWTAL.DE>

Hello,

I have an Access DB to hold the geometry as WKT-String and attributes of a
line layer and use OGR with ODBC to display my features.

GEOLINES           the line geometry as WKT-String
GEOLINES_TREPPE    the attributes for the lines
GEOMETRY_COLUMNS   the configuration of table, objecttyp and srs

I have no problem with 

CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION 'ODBC:GEOOBJEKT,GEOLINES'

to display my lines on the map.

But I want to classify my lines with values from the table GEOLINES_TREPPE.

In Access the following query delivers what I expect:
SELECT * FROM GEOLINES LEFT JOIN GEOLINES_TREPPE ON GEOLINES.ID_GEOOBJEKT =
GEOLINES_TREPPE.ID_GEOOBJEKT;

When I use this query for my GEOLINES layer in a mapfile and add the
DATA-line, nothing will display and also no error message is given.

With ogrinfo I get some output, but nothing with a clue to my problem.
ogrinfo" "ODBC:GEOOBJEKT"
ogrinfo" "ODBC:GEOOBJEKT" -sql "SELECT * FROM GEOLINES;"
ogrinfo" "ODBC:GEOOBJEKT" -sql "SELECT * FROM GEOLINES LEFT JOIN
GEOLINES_Treppe ON GEOLINES.ID_GEOOBJEKT = GEOLINES_Treppe.ID_GEOOBJEKT;"

I hope someone have an idea what to do. I want to use ODBC, because with a
little code I'm able to modify the tables from my map-interface.

#### Part of the mapfile ####

LAYER
  NAME 'LINES'
  GROUP 'LINES'

Arnd,

I believe the problems is that the ODBC driver does not know what column
in your select result to use as the geometry since it finds this in
the GEOMETRY_COLUMNS table.  But this mechanism only works for simple
tables, not custom selects.

One option might be to use a VRT wrapper for the ODBC datasource to
accomplish this instead of trying to use GEOMETRY_COLUMNS.

Hello Frank,

many thanks for your hint. It runs perfect.

That's the way to join ODBC-tables:

the ovf-file GEOLINES.ovf in the same directory as the mapfile

<OGRVRTDataSource>
    <OGRVRTLayer name="LINESLYR">
        <SrcDataSource>ODBC:GEOOBJEKT,GEOLINES</SrcDataSource>

<!--    not needed. Instead using SrcSQL
     	<SrcLayer>LINESLYR</SrcLayer>
-->
        <SrcSQL>SELECT * FROM GEOLINES LEFT JOIN GEOLINES_TREPPE ON
GEOLINES.ID_GEOOBJEKT = GEOLINES_TREPPE.ID_GEOOBJEKT;</SrcSQL>

<!--    apparently not needed, because the column position holds all the
info

    	<GeometryType>wkbLineString</GeometryType>
        <LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS>
-->

	<GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="position"/>
    </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

and the interesting part of the mapfile

LAYER
  NAME 'LINES'
  GROUP 'LINES'
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS ON

  CONNECTION 'GEOLINES.ovf'
  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
  DATA 'LINESLYR'           # <OGRVRTLayer name="LINESLYR">

Subject: speeding up the gdalwarp process for mosaicing and reprojection
Message-ID: <MON.14.MAY.2007.175156.0400.MITCHELLJJ98GMAIL.COM>

Hi,

I have run the following gdalwarp command

gdalwarp.exe -wo SKIP_NOSOURCE=YES -rc -s_srs EPSG:" + EPSG + " -t_srs
EPSG:" + EPSG_wgs84 + " -of HFA " + " -q " + inputFiles + " " + outputFile

against a group of geotiff files which both mosaics and reprojects them to
wgs84 and it works fine, but it takes 22:47 hours to generate the 52.89 GB
mosaic.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to speed up the gdalwarp process.  I
have noticed that the 4 processor server is only being utilized between
14-26% across all 4 processors.  Is their a way to force a higher
utilization of these processors?  I have in past tried to run 2 gdalwarp
jobs simultaneously and I have noticed that it takes them much longer
compared to the total time when running serially (meaning one after the
other).

Thanks,

John -

 

Are the input and output files on the same disk subsystem, and what kind
of disk(s) is involved?

 

gdalwarp will run as a single task, so if it uses 1 processor 100% of
the time you'll see 25% utilization.  If you run two gdalwarp jobs at
the same time, using the same disks, you can very easily cause disk
thrashing and bog the whole process down, so it's not surprising to find
two jobs in parallel takes more than two jobs run serially.

 

If possible, have the input and output files on different disks, and
avoid having read/write activity on the same disk or more than one job
writing to the same disk.

gdalwarp.exe -wo SKIP_NOSOURCE=YES -rc -s_srs EPSG:" + EPSG + " -t_srs
EPSG:" + EPSG_wgs84 + " -of HFA " + " -q " + inputFiles + " " +
outputFile 

against a group of geotiff files which both mosaics and reprojects them
to wgs84 and it works fine, but it takes 22:47 hours to generate the
52.89 GB mosaic.  
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to speed up the gdalwarp
process.  I have noticed that the 4 processor server is only being
utilized between 14-26% across all 4 processors.  Is their a way to
force a higher utilization of these processors?  I have in past tried to
run 2 gdalwarp jobs simultaneously and I have noticed that it takes them
much longer compared to the total time when running serially (meaning
one after the other). 

Thanks,

Urgent or not, without letting the list know of what you have already
researched, what you have got and what may or may not be working is not
going to get you very far (probably nobody will even answer). Free
software is community, not a free coding service for your project. You
get what you give and you give what you got!

Thanks for youre reply, Steve.

I was expecting it to show labels for the points only at a specific
scale, being a label attribute. This is it's function as descriped in
the book "Web Mapping", applied in that case to polygons.

Is this the supposed behaviour or am I mistaken? Is there another way
to do this for points - showing the label only at a specific scale?

   Do you have your imagery displaying when doing a simple draw map ?
(either a wms getmap or mapserver cgi). This is to make sure that the
tile index and the pg layers are set properly.

  I think the geometry needs to be valid, each row of geometry should 
normally represent the bbox of the image.

  The matadata should only be necessary on the tileindex layer.

   the wms time in your case ends up setting the filter element on your
postgis layer to something like :
"(date_trunc('minute',image_time) = '2007-05-11T11:00:00')" .
  Assuming that your imagery is displayed without a time request,you can
manually set the filter element and see if that is working.

Hi
I have an old MapServer running on a SuSE machine, which used to access 
an Oracle Spatial 9i database via OGR to draw maps. Now the database has 
been moved to a different server AND to a higher version, 10gR2. Now I 
get this error:
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 
'Tankstellen'.
msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. GetLayer(v_kampstamm) failed for OGR 
connection `OCI:kbidb/xxx at KBISYS_PDB.WORLD'.

May there be issues that the old Mapserver with old OGR and 
oraclespatial libraries has trouble to connect to Oracle 10g?

This is mapserv -v output:
MapServer version 4.2.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL 
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Cheers

Sebastian

Subject: Mapserver handling BBox in different coordinate systems
Message-ID: <TUE.15.MAY.2007.164634.0200.MLINDENZEELANDNET.NL>

Hello list,

I have a mapserver running as WMS and WFS server that supports 2
coordinate systems:

Dutch RD stelsel (EPSG:28992)  and WGS84 (EPSG: 4326)

When I call the Mapserver with the EPSG set at 28992, the map shows up
correct. When I call it with EPSG set at 4326, I get nothing but a blank
map.

This connection works:
http://webservice.nieuwekaart.nl/cgi-bin/nkn?request=getmap&version=1.1.0 at SRS=epsg:28992&Layers=nk_water,nk_groen,nk_landbouw,nk_recreatie,nk_voorziening,nk_gemengd,nk_wonen,nk_verkeer,nk_lijn,nk_plan

This connection fails in that it shows only a white map..
http://webservice.nieuwekaart.nl/cgi-bin/nkn?request=getmap&version=1.1.0 at SRS=epsg:4326&Layers=nk_water,nk_groen,nk_landbouw,nk_recreatie,nk_voorziening,nk_gemengd,nk_wonen,nk_verkeer,nk_lijn,nk_plan

It seems that when the map recieves boundingbox coordinates in Lat/lon
wgs84 (which are way out of the RD Stelsel bound) it returns this area
which is just a background (white) because no data is present in RD
Stelsel at that location.

My Question is;

What options are available to me?

- Copying the mapserv executable and referencing another mapfile that is
completely wgs84?
- Altering the current mapfile so it can recieve boundingbox coordinates
in wgs84 AND RD Stelsel? How?

Any suggestions are welcome

Kind regards,

Milo van der Linden

Subject: Problems with Mapserv and ArcSDE layer
Message-ID: <TUE.15.MAY.2007.102705.0500.IVANO.PICCOAQUPI.TK>

Hi all!, 
In the last days I made some performance and reliability tests on mapserv using CGI or 
FastCGI on Apache or Lighttpd and connection from Oracle (native and OGR) or ArcSDE.
I've found a problem on Oracle native connection with FastCGI related to the memory leak 
bug (1662) and on ArcSDE with CGI but I don't found anything  about this second on ml or 
trac.
This is the problem: 
Using a layer defined as this:
LAYER
    NAME "CTR-SDE"
    STATUS ON
    DEBUG ON
    DATA "ctr_sde.comuni,SHAPE"
    TYPE POLYGON
    CONNECTIONTYPE SDE
    CONNECTION "myserv,port:5153,esri_sde,sde,sde"
    PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"
    TEMPLATE "template.html"
    METADATA
      "WMS_SRS"    "EPSG:32632"
      "WMS_NAME"    "Comuni_SDE"
      "WMS_TITLE"    "Comuni_SDE"
      "WMS_ABSTRACT"    "Comuni SDE"
    END
    CLASS
      STYLE
        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
        ANTIALIAS TRUE
      END
    END
  END
and after 5 minutes long stress test with 16 contemporary connection on mapserv with this 
URL :
http://mywebserv/cgi-bin/mapserv?VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&amp;WIDTH=550&HEIGHT=400&FORMAT=image/png&BBOX=225917.72,4878835.47,600524.92,5151277.07&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&SRS=EPSG:32632&SERVICENAME=OGC:WMS&STYLES=&LAYERS=CTR-SDE
I see many cgi processes in memory. These processes still remain until web server restart. 
This doesn't happen using both Oracle connection type and the same stress test .
What do I do wrong?
Thanks,
sorry for my english,
Ivano


P.S. this is the output from mapserv -v:

I know, but if the BBOX gets set when zooming in and the BBOX
coordinates are outside the RD Stelsel coordinate system it returns a
blank map.

Dag Milo,
 
I think you just need two different mapfiles, one for the WGS84 extent and one for the RD one. No need to copy the mapserver executable. 
 
Or better, just have one mapfile allowing both EPSG's and call mapserver using WMS requests (better anyway, why not do it the OGC interoperable way?). That way, you specify the EPSG & BBOX in the request...

I know, but if the BBOX gets set when zooming in and the BBOX
coordinates are outside the RD Stelsel coordinate system it returns a
blank map.

hello list,

i'm trying to use this to convert minx,miny,maxx,maxy values to pixels.
what could be wrong?

            $XYp = $_REQUEST["INPUT_COORD"];
            $XYp_Array = explode(',',$XYp);
            $Xp_Array = explode(';',$XYp_Array["1"]);

            $Xp1 = $XYp_Array["0"];
            $Xp2 = $Xp_Array["0"];
            $Yp1 = $Xp_Array["1"];
            $Yp2 = $XYp_Array["2"];

            $K = $gpoMap->extent->minx - $_REQUEST["minx"];
            $Ndd = $K / $Xp1;
            $Xp_dd = $gpoMap->extent->minx / $Ndd;


i think $Ndd its the conversion factor, isn't it? so, $Xp_dd should return
the correct value of minx in pixels.
or maybe i'm totally wrong. :D

Hallo Barend!

(I think I remember you from the 2 parts of the GIMA course I took about
3 years ago)

I use the BBOX parameter in the request, but that is exactly where the
problem arises. The BBOX values are in lat/lon, but somehow mapserv
interprets them as being in RD - coordinates, at least, that is my gut
feeling.

Hello Arnd,

the @ is an error, my excuses. It indeed needs to be a & sign.

The reason you get a white background seems to be that the standard bbox
for EPSG:4326 is either undefined, or invalid. That is what I am trying
to find out.

Yes, the BBOX is always interpreted in 'current' system, so if the EPSG
requested was RD, the BBOX is in RD, or if you do not use WMS mode and the
EXTENT set in the map file is is in RD, that will be the extent you're
limited to...

Database access isn't a problem - the map that's being served up
already takes vector data from a different table in the same database
and displays it fine.

I changed my satellite table thus:

insert into satellite (image_path, image_time, the_geom) values
('/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/images/sat2.tiff', '2007-05-11
11:00Z', GeomFromText('POLYGON((-31.82 75.55, -31.82 26.5, 51.31 26.5,
51.31 75.55, -31.82 75.55))', 4326));

with no change to the output (i.e. still get the base vector map, but
no satellite image).

Is that the correct geometry specification for an image with a
top-left at 31.82W 75.55N  and a bottom right at 51.31E 26.5N ?  Is
there a better way of specifying it?

This is frustrating because i can't tell where I'm going wrong -
geometry, time, or some other bit.

Thanks for the input,
Dave.

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not sure what you mean by a simple draw map.

My current attempted access is via this WMS GetMap call:

http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/postgis2.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&amp;amp;LAYERS=world,sat,radar&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=false&&amp;amp;BBOX=-90,-25,90,85&TIME=2007-05-11T11:00

How do I simplify it to test the tile index and pg layers as you suggest?

Fair enough. I've tried adding a proper geometry (see my other email in this
thread) to no noticeable effect.

Makes sense. It would be nice if  the example I mentioned above was adjusted
appropriately then :-)

It seems unusal to me that there is no logged information from mapserver to
help track down issues like this. I tried adding the "DEBUG ON"  directive
to my map file and specifed a LOG location, but I still see no log.  I
rebuilt following a "./configure [....] --with-debug" and still see no log
file. Most frustrating!  Perhaps I did something wrong there - I will
investigate further.

Subject: Direct use of Vmap0 with Mapserver
Message-ID: <WED.16.MAY.2007.160537.0300.JUKKA.RAHKONENMMMTIKE.FI>

Hi,

It seems to be simple to convert Vmap0 data to shapefiles or whatever with ogr2ogr.  I am now thinking that is that conversion compulsory or could I use Vmap0 directly as source data for Mapserver?  I made a trial by giving "CONNECTIONTYPE OGR" and CONNECTION in the way that worked with ogr2ogr but with no success. 

Is it even theoretically possible to use Vmap0 data directly with Mapserver, of should I just take the layers out to some other format with ogr2ogr?

By the way, OGR documentation gives this usage example: 

ogr2ogr watrcrsl.shp gltp:/vrf/usr4/mpp1/v0eur/vmaplv0/eurnasia 'watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line' <mailto:'watrcrsl at hydro(*)_line'> 

In Windows that seemd not to work but I had to remove the quotes.

Regards,

-Jukka Rahkonen-

Jukka,

I have used mapserver to map directly from VMAP0 data in the past.  But it is
not necessarily all that efficient so if you want to do serious work I'd
encourage you to pull the parts you need out of VMAP0 in shapefile or some
other high performance format, build spatial indices, etc.

Indeed.  I don't quite have the zen of quoting for the windows command window
mastered yet.

Basically you would need this (Column is the name of the column to query,
Where is the value entered):

bResult = m.getLayer(Layer.Index).queryByAttributes(m, Column, Where,
MSUtil.QUERY_TYPE.MS_MULTIPLE)

img = m.drawQuery


Then you'd need to dump the image somewhere, but you probably already have
that covered...

Hope that helps,

Hi Milo,

this works fine for me:

http://webservice.nieuwekaart.nl/cgi-bin/nkn?request=getmap&version=1.1.0&SRS=EPSG:4326&Layers=nk_water,nk_groen,nk_landbouw,nk_recreatie,nk_voorziening,nk_gemengd,nk_wonen,nk_verkeer,nk_lijn,nk_plan&bbox=2,50,8,58&width=500&height=500

Note:
-epsg should be uppercase EPSG in a WMS request
-you are missing a lot of mandatory WMS GetMap request parameters, please
see the WMS spec for the parameters that are mandatory (Mapserver does not
check for this and uses defaults from the MAP file), btw I am even missing a
few in my example request.

Best regards,
Bart

Subject: Drawing collected multipolygons from PostGIS...
Message-ID: <WED.16.MAY.2007.102742.0700.JOHN.COLEUAI.COM>

Hello,
  I'm trying to "pretty" up a polygon layer (specifically tiger placecu). 
I'd like to draw an outline of a collection of multipolygon objects, but it
doesn't seem to be working.

Here is my data statement in my mapfile:

	DATA "the_geom from (SELECT min(gid) as gid, collect(the_geom) as the_geom
from placecu
WHERE (gid = any (string_to_array('%PLCGID%', '^'))) 
and (the_geom && setSRID(!BOX!, 4326)) group by name) foo USING SRID=4326,
USING UNIQUE gid"

If I remove the min/collect the layer draws fine, but I was hoping to get
the exterior ring of the combined polygons and draw that.  Has anyone done
something similar?  I'd love an example.

Thanks,

John

John, a collection does not polygon make. A collection is more like an 
array of polygons and any array doe not have an exterior ring.

You might try replacing collect(the_geom) with MemGeomUnion(the_geom)

and see if you have any luck with that. It might be too slow.

Have you tried BuildArea(collect(the_geom)) ?

  All I meant was you can use mapserver cgi and do something like :
http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/postgis2.map&mode=map&layers=sat 

  WMS get map is also valid but just trying to keep it simple and see if 
the map draws with your rasters.

Most of the time I have used postgis layers, I start by importing data 
from a shape file. From the postings you have sent, maybe there is a 
problem with your postgis layer. How about creating your tiles with 
tile4ms (creates a shape file), see if that works in your map file and 
then import the shape file in postgis ?

Hi There,

 Could you quickly add a filter element in your layer, something like
the following

 LAYER
   NAME       CustomPOI
   STATUS     OFF
   TYPE       POINT
   FILTER "WHERE (oid = 305)"
   ...

 This should be the result of your query with the filter. You can just
do the a simple query without a filter encoding  and see if that works.
 If this works I would be willing to check it provided that I can
replicate it her.

Later,

Subject: SIZE in percentages?
Message-ID: <WED.16.MAY.2007.204938.0200.BARTVDEOSGIS.NL>

Hi list,

we've got a problem with labels getting too small in a PDF print (not using
Mapserver's PDF output btw). The WMS image requested for the PDF print is
approximately 2000 x 1500 pixels, and then squeezed into an A4 PDF to get an
appropriate resolution for prints.

But since labels are 9 pixels only (the same MAP file is also used for a
webmapping application with a 600 x 400 map), they end up being too small.

Is there an option to have something like SIZEUNITS percentage, and then use
for instance a percentage of the image height for labels?

Other options currently available already?

Thoughts on this issue/enhancement appreciated.

Best regards,
Bart

Using symbol scales and then tweaking the resolution parameter is the built in way to do this.
Symbol scale set the scale at which a symbol or label is exactly SIZE pixels tall. The resolution
parameter (map level) affects the way in which scales are computed. The default is 72 pixels
per inch which works ok for monitors but is too low for print, where value of 300 or higher might
work better.

Bart,

There are other things that get squeezed down also, like line widths and 
pixel symbols, etc. You could in theory do something like CSS media 
styles for print, web, or other. But this would just create two (or 
more) mapfiles in one and slow down parsing. The easiest think might be 
to just create a separate mapfile for print where you style stuff 
appropriate to the environment, and then have you application switch 
between the mapfiles.

HI list,
I am developing an application using  OpenLayers and Mapserver.I need to 
use Mollweide projection .
If I use Mapserver with this projetion the adjacent tiles don't  match , 
the projection is completely not aligned, the I have to use the untiled 
class in OpenLayers. This, of course, slow down my application and I 
lost the smoothly pan and zoom.
I am absolutely   not able to use Mapserver as WMS server with this 
projection. When I call the WMS the return is always in EPSG:4326. Is 
this probably the OpenLayers fault?

Thanks for your help

Hi, i'm carlos, and recently i start use MS SQL SPATIAL, before i always 
shapefiles as my primary source for mapserver, now I'm trying to generate a 
map using Mapserver and MS SQL Spatial... i try to make
a connection with ODBC Virtual Directory (.ovf)... i follow the instructions 
presented
in mapserver and mssqlspatial discussions and forums, but nothing seems to 
work properly
1. I create a system dsn, using Sql native cliente (SPATIALSQL)
2. Later i tested using ogrinfo

C: \> ogrinfo ODBC: spatialsql

That give a result a list of the all tables in the database...

Later i tested this:

C: \> ogrinfo ODBC: spatialsql parque_pt

the result is a list with all the data in the table...

3. I create an ovf file to make a call to database and put into a new folder in 
my ms4w installation
C:\ms4w\apps\metro\DBCONNECTION\virtual.ovf

If your source column is MULTIPOLYGON then collect() will generate a 
collection of MULTIPOLYGON, which Mapserver won't be able to draw.

One way to fix that is to use the fact that most MULTIPOLYGONS are 
really single part... just an ordinary POLYGON wrapped in fluff.

DATA "the_geom FROM
(SELECT min(gid) AS gid, collect(geometryn(the_geom,1))
AS the_geom
FROM placecu
WHERE (gid = any (string_to_array('%PLCGID%', '^')))
AND (the_geom && setSRID(!BOX!, 4326)) GROUP BY name) foo
USING SRID=4326,
USING UNIQUE gid"

Steve,

Is a symbol scale like a "reference scale"?
Ideally, objects shouldn't really change in size as a result of DPI
setting, but I guess that's hard to change, since everything is defined
in pixels (rather than points, or another absolute size)

Would it be feasible to have a global "reference dpi" value, that
resulting sizes are scaled to? For example, if a label is defined as 10
pixels at a reference dpi of 100dpi, then it should come out as 30
pixels if the dpi setting is changed to 300dpi.

I'm asking because I have a print tool that allows setting of dpi values
as well. I'd like the map to remain the same, regardless of dpi.

Regards,

Jacob

Dear All

If I have a location of some object saved in an database.
I knew that we can display them as layer On MapServer, Since we can get the
X and Y values from couloumn.
But what about "symbol" of each node ?
Is there any way to put diferent symbol for each node/point ?
How to use SQL data for this "per point specific" symbol ?

Hi Lakku,

As Jeff pointed out to you earlier, Chameleon has this functionality in
the LocateByAttribute widget. It is written in PHP, so if you want it in
C# you'll have to re-write it yourself.

Please CC to the list if you reply, so you are more likely to get a
proper answer. 

I have no experience in C# whatsoever, but the approach that the
LocateByAttribute widget uses is that it saves each result into a
shapefile, and then adds the shapefile dynamically to the map (using
yellow outline). So you have to do something along those lines.

Jacob

Dear Sebastian;

What mapserver are you using?
In all cases I think you should try to use the following in the data part 
after the connectiontype, connection are declared

DATA "select * from v_kampstamm)
instead using
DATA "geom from v_kampstamm"

If is understand the question correctly you should set the parameters
of the labelObj that belongs to the classObj of that particular layer.
For more information about the parameters see:

Make sure to include the list in your reply so everyone can benefit from the
conversation.

Sorry for the confusion, I created a class (MSUtil) that contained the
enumerations for mapscript.  If you go to this page:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript/index_html#query-types
you will see that MS_MULTIPLE = 1.  Also, if you go to:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript/index_html#layerobj
and inspect the queryByAttributes method you will see it returns an int -
which is really MS_SUCESS or MS_FAILURE
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript/index_html#return-cod
es)


For all these questions the best place to start is at the Mapscript API
Reference (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript). Give that
a quick read and I think a lot of your questions will be answered.


Good luck!

Message-ID: <THU.17.MAY.2007.083850.0500.IVANO.PICCOAQUPI.TK>

Hi,
  After many tests I found a workaround to the "cgi process   zombified   when you made an 
ArcSDE request by WMS" problem. 
I launch a "timeout" shell script (like this:  
http://www.shelldorado.com/scripts/cmds/timeout) inside a simple wrapper script.  
This timeout script  executes a mapserv cgi process and launchs a watchdog who kills   
the "zombie" after a timeout .  As you can see this is not a good solution for the problem. 
My tests reveal   an improvement on number of requests  per second (+35%), because the   
timeout kills all the processes who fill the apache request stack.    
I think I will reach the maximun performance only when I can use cgi without a wrapper. 
I hope you will solve this soon,  
Best regards,
Ivano.

Yes, the symbol scale is a reference scale. Scale (denominator) was chosen 
to link size to because that was something GIS folks would relate to. Output
resolution and scale computations are joined at the hip. Change resolution
and you affect scale and hence sizes. That's not as direct as your idea but
then again folks don't change resolution much, as opposed to scale changes
from zooming in/out.

Applying resolution changes to MIN/MAXSIZE  or MIN/MAXWIDTH values might
make some sense though. Those values are currently unaffected.

Message-ID: <FRI.18.MAY.2007.045011.0500.DAVE.WEAVERZEN.CO.UK>

I'm trying to get my map in the same projection that's used by Google Maps &
Virtual Earth.

According to this article:

http://www.sharpgis.net/2007/05/05/SpatialReferencesCoordinateSystemsProjectionsDatumsEllipsoidsConfusing.aspx

the SRS string for the projection used is:

PROJCS["Mercator Spheric", GEOGCS["WGS84based_GCS",
DATUM["WGS84based_Datum", SPHEROID["WGS84based_Sphere", 6378137, 0],
TOWGS84[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]], PRIMEM["Greenwich", 0, AUTHORITY["EPSG",
"8901"]], UNIT["degree", 0.0174532925199433, AUTHORITY["EPSG", "9102"]],
AXIS["E", EAST], AXIS["N", NORTH]], PROJECTION["Mercator_1SP"],
PARAMETER["False_Easting", 0], PARAMETER["False_Northing", 0],
PARAMETER["Central_Meridian", 0], PARAMETER["Latitude_of_origin", 0],
UNIT["metre", 1, AUTHORITY["EPSG", "9001"]], AXIS["East", EAST],
AXIS["North", NORTH]]

How can I use this information in my map file to specify the output
projection of my map? (projections aren't my strong point!)

Thanks,
Dave.

Hi,

I have multipolygons stored on Oracle database and in the mapfile I use
MapServer's native Oracle connection. 

With a WFS client I see some data but most of the data is not deliver
through MapServer to the client. I suspect that this problem may relate to
the issue that data consist several multipolygons.

What would be the true reason and how to solve the problem?

OK. Having done that I can see my raster image (see below).

Hmm - the note you added contradicts what you said above.
The note says the metadata's needed on the raster layer, but above you say
it's only
necessary on the tileindex layer...

Interestingly, when I removed the metadata section from the raster layer, I
could suddenly see my raster image. From a little experimentation it turns out
that if both wms_timextent and wms_timeitem are given, my raster layer doesn't
display. Leave either of those out and it's fine.

However, it's still just displaying one of the images - the TIME= WMS parameter
is having no effect on the image displayed.  I have 2 images in my postgis
table, as follows, but only the one is ever displayed.  It is not the one
specified by the wms_timedefault entry, either. I get the same image with or
without the TIME= parameter.

If I use the simple query, as you suggested above (rather than the WMS one),
and set the FILTER in the tileindex layer, I see whichever image that matches
the filter.

Any ideas on how I can track this problem down further?

Thanks,
Dave.

More information related to this issues.

I tested the same layer through WMS and WFS. Layer works fine through WMS
but WFS omits all execpt one part of the multipolygon. At below you will
also find the mapfiles.

See attached image "MapServer_WMS" which contains a multipolygon (5 parts
with label 10404).

See another attached image "MapServer_WFS_missing_polygons_labels_from_WMS".
On this image only one piece of the multipolygon is visible. Labels are from
WMS layer just to show that there should be more data (label is variable
ID_X from mapfiles).

Is it so that MapServer's WFS just cannot handle multipolygons or am I doing
something wrong?

Hi all,
 
I'm using Perl mapscript to read a layer from a mapfile and I would like to have the attribute info, here's the script:
 
#!/usr/bin/perl
 
use strict;
use warnings;
use mapscript 4.10.0;
 
my $mapfile = new mapscript::mapObj($ARGV[0]) or die "$!\n";
my $layer = $mapfile->getLayerByName($ARGV[1]) or die "Can't get layer $ARGV[1]: $!\n";
 
my $status = $layer->open();
 
$status = $layer->whichShapes($layer->getExtent());
 
while (my $shape = $layer->nextShape()) {
  $shape->initValues($shape->{numvalues});
  print $shape->getValue(2) . "\n";
}
 
$layer->close();

..but I can't seem to fetch the attribute information.  The underlying datatype for the LAYER object is a shapefile.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks

Subject: Mutiple "DATA" lines in a single layer?
Message-ID: <FRI.18.MAY.2007.133247.0500.JDEGEKORTERRA.COM>

I'm starting to play around with using MapServer to serve maps from a
PostGIS database.

One of the features that MapServer has is that you can define multiple
classes within a single layer, so you can change the way that the map
looks when drawn at different scales/resolutions.

Is there some way to define multiple data sources within a single layer,
so that I can change how that data is obtained at different layers?

In particular, I'm wondering how to best take advantage of PostGIS's
simplify() function - which can be used to reduce the number of points
included in a geometry based on resolution.  If I'm drawing a map at a
resolution where one pixel equals 2000 meters on the ground, there is no
advantage to sending the viewer a geometry defined with points
twenty-five meters apart.

The obvious way is to define multiple layers, each enabled at certain
scales, and to include the resulution appropriate for those scales in
the DATA keyword's sql statement.  But this requires that the layer be
duplicated for each scale range.  Is there a way to enable different
DATA sql statements at different scales/resolutions in a single layer
definition?

I don't see the DATA keyword in the documentation for the CLASS section.
Which is where I'd expect it to be if I could do what I want.

Is there a way of including a value calculated from the scale in the SQL
statement within the LAYER section?

   DATA "simplify(the_geom, 1.0/<scale>) from streets"

Or am I stuck with using multiple layers?

Tom,

I don't think you have to call initValues. The purpose of that
function is to allocate space for the attributes of an inline feature
and clears the allocation made by the data provider previously.

Hi Dave,

As long as Goolge Maps goes, I use the following mapfile (excerpt).
I'm not sure if UNITS and EXTENT should be in Mercator meters but in 
reality this works excellent.
GM's tile layer overlays served from Mapserver line up well with Google 
Maps' satellite images.

MAP
   NAME "YOUR MAPPER NAME"
   SIZE 256 256
   STATUS ON
   IMAGETYPE png

EXTENT -180 -90 180 83.6236
PROJECTION
   # Google Maps uses Mercator
   "init=epsg:54004"
END
UNITS DD
TRANSPARENT ON

We have a customer who wants to integrate aerial photos into their maps.

The extent of the map is that of a middle-sized state.  200-400
kilometers.

The tightest zoom is a couple of blocks.  100-200 meters.

(Map size scales with the browser - figure 600-800 pixels.)

I've done a bit of playing around with the GDAL tools with a
county-level dataset.  From this I learned that:

1.  You can futz around with this stuff forever, never getting it quite
right.
2.  You're chunking enough data that every failed attempt takes forever.

The question is, given a few tens of thousands of hi-res jpegs, what is
the best way to restructure them so as to give acceptable performance
through Mapserver?

Jeff -

Step 1 is to get rid of the JPEGs!

Do you know how large the aerial photos would be as uncompressed TIFFs?  Can
you afford that much space?  There are some intermediate solutions that can
work well (tiled TIFFs with JPEG compression) if you're tight on space.

Objet : [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Mutiple "DATA" lines in a single layer?



I'm starting to play around with using MapServer to serve maps from a
PostGIS database.

One of the features that MapServer has is that you can define multiple
classes within a single layer, so you can change the way that the map
looks when drawn at different scales/resolutions.

Is there some way to define multiple data sources within a single layer,
so that I can change how that data is obtained at different layers?

In particular, I'm wondering how to best take advantage of PostGIS's
simplify() function - which can be used to reduce the number of points
included in a geometry based on resolution.  If I'm drawing a map at a
resolution where one pixel equals 2000 meters on the ground, there is no
advantage to sending the viewer a geometry defined with points
twenty-five meters apart.

The obvious way is to define multiple layers, each enabled at certain
scales, and to include the resulution appropriate for those scales in
the DATA keyword's sql statement.  But this requires that the layer be
duplicated for each scale range.  Is there a way to enable different
DATA sql statements at different scales/resolutions in a single layer
definition?

I don't see the DATA keyword in the documentation for the CLASS section.
Which is where I'd expect it to be if I could do what I want.

Is there a way of including a value calculated from the scale in the SQL
statement within the LAYER section?

   DATA "simplify(the_geom, 1.0/<scale>) from streets"

Or am I stuck with using multiple layers?

Don't know, yet.  The customer has yet to supply us with it.  The extent
I know.  I've asked what resolution they're supplying us with, and what
resolution they think they need, but haven't yet had answers.

This is the only mailing list I've ever subscribed to where a reply went
to the author, rather than to the list.  I have tried to remember, but I
expect this won't be the last time I make that mistake.

First, as Ed mentioned, convert them to TIFFs if disk space allows.
TIFF is many, many times faster than jpegs at the expense of disk
space.

Secondly the goal for performance is to allow mapserver to open up as
few images as possible, use as much of each image as possible and
avoid resampling.

For the zoomed-in views, you can add overviews to each of the tiles
(essentially these are built-in reduced resolution versions of the
image; see gdaladdo) . Then create a tileindex shapefile (look at
gdaltindex) to provide efficient access to them (ie mapserver will
only open tiles in the extent)

Given your scale range you'll also want to create a few
lower-resolution, combined versions of the dataset using gdal_warp.
Then set up multiple layers with scale dependencies in your mapfile to
force the use of the appropriate dataset given the scale.

We're using OpenLayers as the map viewer.  MapServer will be running in CGI mode, either directly or as a WMS server.  So mapscript isn't part of the equation.
 
I've never looked at the  MapServer source, but I'm wondering if allowing DATA statements to be placed in CLASS sections would be a reasonable enhancement.

Jeff -

No problem; thanks for the update.

As an example, a 400-km by 400-km square at 1-meter resolution would be 160
billion pixels.  That's 160 GB of 8-bit data or 480 GB or 24-bit data,
uncompressed.  Storing it as a group of individual images (1,600 10-km by
10-km tiles) with a TILEINDEX will let you serve it as one layer.  Using a
RAID-5 array will help performance, as will using SCSI drives (esp. 15K RPM
drives).  There are some optimizations that will particularly help
scalability (sustain performance under growing user load) that wouldn't be
needed if you have a small number of users.  If you need to view at
zoomed-out levels some extra disk space for pre-built overviews would be
helpful (you never need more than 50% more than the original space for
overviews).

Jeff -

Just use multiple layers in the map file, with a GROUP statement for each,
and a MINSCALE/MAXSCALE value in each.  That will let them appear to the
client as a single logical layer using the GROUP name you specified.

I not sure how that would be different from a layer then. Anyway, I'm 
sure patches would be welcome for review.

LAYERs are inherently designed to define data sources and as a container 
for processing that data source.

CLASSes allow you to render features of the data source in different 
ways. Think of a CLASS as like a case statement, Only the first one that 
is executed is processed for any given feature.

Jeff,

 If you're looking to dynamically change the DATA element of a layer,
you should check out variable substitution
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/variable_sub) .
No mapscript required.

Right.  And in this case, the various data statements refer to the same
data source, simply with resolution-specific on-the-fly processing
during data retrieval.

What we'd be trying to do is to match the resolution of the data we've
requested to the scale we're drawing at.  Which strikes me as being
logically not much different that matching the width of the symbology to
the scale we're drawing at.  But this particular scale-specific
optimization has to happen in the DATA statement, which means multiple
classes each with its own MINSCALE and MAXSCALE, instead of multiple
classes inside the same LAYER.

I know how to do it with multiple layers, but I don't know how to make
sure that future maintainers make their changes consistently to all the
different layers in the mapfile.

Hi dave,
for Mercator I use the following inline declaration of projections:

map
...
projection
   "proj=merc"
   "lat_ts=0"
   "lon_0=0"
   "x_0=0"
   "y_0=0"
   "ellps=WGS84"
   "datum=WGS84"
end # of projection
...
end #of map

or also:

map
...
projection
   "proj=merc"
   "lon_0=0"
   "k_0=1"
   "x_0=0"
   "y_0=0"
   "ellps=WGS84"
   "datum=WGS84"
end # of projection
...
end #of map

both have meters as measure unit.

Hi,
 
I am trying to serve the same data through Mapserver WFS and Geoserver WFS.  Both are making GML packege when GetFeature is requested, but my WFS client accepts only the on sent by Geoserver.

I wonder if fid starting with a number is valid according to WFS standard or not.

Hello,
Is there a way I can create a temp layer/class to show a selection.

For example: (Data: Parcels)
A user draws a bounding box and the Envelope is sent to a php file to
highlight all parcels that touch that extent.

I have all the JavaScript done, I just need to render the map properly.

Any ideas ?

Hi Teemu,
    Sorry for the delay to reply you message.
    About this error, did you already tried to draw a map in CGI mode, 
just to test all the polygons? Dis you already try to restrict the 
objects in the data definition. Like: "GEOLOC FROM (SELECT ID_X, GEOLOC 
TABLE_X WHERE ID_X = XXXXX) USING UNIQUE ID_X". Where the XXXXX is the 
id for the object that are not draw?
    About the objects, all have the same attributes, like SRID, GTYPE 
and ETYPE?
    I'm a not WFS specialist, I believe that the Bart can help in this 
way, I can help with the Oracle relate issues.
    Best regards.

Subject: SIZE in percentages?
Message-ID: <MON.21.MAY.2007.083949.0200.BARTVDEOSGIS.NL>

Hi Steve,

unfortunately this can't be applied to a WMS use case. There is no way to
override resolution (changing the WMS server MAP file thorugh Mapscript is
no option ofcourse). So the only way then is to have multiple MAP files, and
no way to link them using OGC interfaces .... ? That does not sound ideal to
me, and would require a very specific non-standard WMS client.

Alternatively, a resolution parameter should be added to the OGC GetMap
interface, maybe as a vendor-specific tag for now.

Best regards,
Bart

>
Using symbol scales and then tweaking the resolution parameter is the built
in way to do this.
Symbol scale set the scale at which a symbol or label is exactly SIZE pixels
tall. The resolution
parameter (map level) affects the way in which scales are computed. The
default is 72 pixels
per inch which works ok for monitors but is too low for print, where value
of 300 or higher might
work better.

Subject: Is fid beginning with a number valid in WFS?
Message-ID: <MON.21.MAY.2007.141230.0300.JUKKA.RAHKONENMMMTIKE.FI>

Hi,
 
After reading some articles from internet and elsewhere I have started to think that fid starting with a number is not valid.
 
a) An excerpt from gml 2.1.2 feature.xsd schema:
 <documentation>
        An abstract feature provides a set of common properties. A concrete 
        feature type must derive from this type and specify additional 
        properties in an application schema. A feature may optionally 
        possess an identifying attribute ('fid').
      </documentation>
    </annotation>
    <sequence>
      <element ref="gml:description" minOccurs="0"/>
      <element ref="gml:name" minOccurs="0"/>
      <element ref="gml:boundedBy" minOccurs="0"/>
      <!-- additional properties must be specified in an application schema -->
    </sequence>
    <attribute name="fid" type="ID" use="optional"/>
 
So fid seems to be of type "ID"
 
b) Reference http://matcmadison.edu/schmidt/xml/dtdattr.htm
says: 

ID is used to uniquely identify an element in the [XML] document

*	It cannot be repeated within the document
*	Cannot have a fixed default value (#FIXED), since these cannot change
*	Most IDs use #REQUIRED for a default value, since an ID is required
*	ID values must conform to the rules for valid XML names
*	ID must be a valid XML name - must start with a letter or underscore
*	An ID using a pure number, such as a credit card number, social security number, telephone number or any other pure numeric value is not valid

There seem to exist WFS clients which are strict in validating the GML returned from the server. Shouldn't there be some mechanism in Mapserver WFS that automatically generates some valid character in the beginning of fid?  At least in our database the most suitable columns that could be used as basis for fid are numeric, primary key taken from sequence or the kind. Now taking the most suitable column for fid by adddint "wfs_featureid" "ID" to LAYER METADATA section leads to non-standard result. Adding an underscore should make it valid for any client.  Do WFS specialists agree?
 
Regards,
 
-Jukka Rahkonen-

Hi, 
 
To avoid confuse, the difference between ms:roads and lv:towns was due to cut and paste error.  They should be
 
Mapserver:
<gml:featureMember>
 <ms:roads fid="71">

Geoserver:
<gml:featureMember>
 <lv:roads fid="roads.71">

Subject: [OT] WFS Request of two layers?
Message-ID: <MON.21.MAY.2007.152510.0200.LUCA76GMAIL.COM>

Hi, is it possible to query two WFS layers of same server (mapserver
4.10) for the attributes of these two layers in a point, in a single
connection?

I.e. for a single layer:
http://sampleserver.co/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?MAP=/ms4w/apps/test.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&BBOX=664981.4611944818%2C5104519.267589071%2C665186.0269549858%2C5104642.209585729&TYPENAME=lay1

And for two layers (with obviously two features in the resulting XML response)?

What version of MapServer are we talking about here? There were some problems with
certain multi-part features in older version of MapServer (I don't recall exact version numbers
but can check). I believe Bart identified a test case that the fix was based on. The problem
was in the GML encoder. 4.10.3 should be fine.

David thanks, but It looks like FWTools is a full install of many
things...I am not sure my systems guys would like that.  It looks like
it has an old version of Python...I need to run a newer version. I know
you can run more then one version but it makes things confusing.  Is
there another way other than WFTools..did the example shown on the
MapServer site use FWTools? 

Thanks for your help.

Subject: Multiple QUERY_LAYER in GetFeatureInfo Not support in OWSRequest
Message-ID: <MON.21.MAY.2007.155351.0500.MHWANG4UIUC.EDU>

Hello, list!

I'm using Python mapscript 4.10.0-beta3 for running a WMS server.
My server-side script for WMS is using OWSRequest object and  
OWSDispatch method for handling
WMS requests.
One problem I've been experiencing is that multiple values for  
QUERY_LAYERS parameter
are not supported in my application.
If I request feature info for each layer one by one, I can get a  
proper GML result.
But if I set multiple layers for the QUERY_LAYERS parameter by using  
comma,
I got feature info for only the upmost layer.
If you have any ideas with this problem, please give me some hints!

 You can get python mapscript going pretty easily if you've built
mapserver from source. Check out mapscript/python/README

Does the WMS spec have a specific method to do this? I don't recall seeing anything like
that. What are other servers/vendors doing along these lines? 

Do you recall if the map_... parameters work for wms as vendor specific tags. If so then
setting adding map_resolution=300 might work right now.

Hi people,

I have a tiff with the following weird projection. If anybody could help me out
to decode this into MapServer-EPSG format, I'd be very grateful. Any link to
resources are welcome too. I'm a noobie. Thanks!

Looking back through messages with no answers. Perhaps too late but in
case
someone is interested. Via the straight CGI only creating features using
WKT
is supported. All other operators are only available MapScript. Of
course, using
PostGIS with GEOS enabled gives you all of those operators via the
connection
string...

Version of the MapServr is 4.10.1.

Where I could find version 4.10.3 or is it the SVN version. Current version
seems to be 4.10.2 (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current).

Hi again,

I've done some translation effort but in vain. I'm using QGis to try to figure
out the correct extent because the one given by gdalinfo is the PIXEL
resolution:

Upper Left  (    0.0,    0.0)
Lower Left  (    0.0, 4251.0)
Upper Right ( 4901.0,    0.0)
Lower Right ( 4901.0, 4251.0)
Center      ( 2450.5, 2125.5)

Of course when projecting a WGS84 point layer on top of this gives a
totally incorrect map with wildly shifted points.

Here is my translation from below .prj values:

+proj=laea +ellps=GRS80 +a=6378137.0 +lat_0=52.0 +lon_0=20.0
+x_0=5071000.0 +y_0=3210000.0 +k_0=0.0174532925199433 +units=m
+no_defs

But with this projection QGis retains the given extent (above), which
is of course wrong because it is the pixel extent while my point layer
has a geographical extent.

Here is the dataset:
http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/metadetails.asp?id=650

I'm really at a loss here and info on the WEB is inconclusive.

Any help appreciated,

Anthony

Whoops, I meant 4.10.2. These changes should have been before 4.10.1 so
that should be ok, might not hurt to upgrade to 4.10.2 just to be sure because
the bug and your description are very similar.

The bug is: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1648

One way to test this would be to convert to a shapefile and see if the problem
persists. If it does then it's likely a GML encoding error and if not then an
Oracle error.

I sounds like you are missing a TFW file. The TFW, or "World File"
defines the location of the upper left corner of the TIFF in terms of
the projetion, which is defined by the PRJ file. A GeoTIFF has that
information embeded in the header of the TIFF, but it doesn't sound
like you have a GeoTIFF because gdalinfo isn't finding any info.

Anthony,

It would appear the files are not GeoTIFF files and have no georefernecing
information.  I didn't try downloading it, but if it is typical GTOPO data,
the region of the data will be implicit in the filename.

You may be able to construct an appropriate world file but I don't know the
details without spending quite a bit more time.

Best regards,

Sorry for the late reply. That sounds like a leak of file handles, 
perhaps you could use 'lsof' to find out which files are left open 
(you'd have to do that before the script ends execution), and then file 
a bug with all the details.

    I am way too swamped right now to fill a bug report, but check in 
the INCLUDES on your mapfile.
    I have this problem on 4.10.1 and the culprit was the includes I had 
on my main mapfile being left open.

    Cheers,

FYI there is already a ticket about the problem with INCLUDEs, but it 
seems hard to track/fix:

Subject: unmatched edges in WMS(WMS-C) tiles


Greetings!

I'm setting up a map with MapServer + OpenLayers + Tilecache.

There is a problem, as shown in the screen shot (http://www3.mapasia.com/jackout/e.png), edges of tiles don't match. I've tried the new "gutter" in OpenLayers, it works if I use only MapServer, but can't work with Tilecache.

How can I fix this?

Well it generated a map file (2 actually, identical apart from filename)
with a lot more information in it than my original. These are the relevant
layers from this bigger map file:

  LAYER
      METADATA
        "wms_timeextent"        "2007-01-01/2007-12-31"
        "wms_timedefault"       "2007-05-11T11:00:00Z"
        "wms_title"     "Satellite"
      END
    NAME "sat"
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4326"
    END
    SIZEUNITS PIXELS
    STATUS ON
    TILEINDEX "time_idx"
    TILEITEM "image_path"
    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS
    TYPE RASTER
    UNITS METERS
  END

  LAYER
    CONNECTION "dbname=map host=localhost"
    CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
    DATA "the_geom from satellite using unique oid using srid = 4326"
      METADATA
        "wms_srs"       "EPSG:4326"
        "wms_timeitem"  "image_time"
        "wms_title"     "time_index"
      END
    NAME "time_idx"
    SIZEUNITS PIXELS
    STATUS OFF
    TOLERANCEUNITS PIXELS
    TYPE POLYGON
    UNITS METERS
  END

As you can see there was no FILTER element anywhere.
 I'm a bit stuck as to what to look at next...

To summarise where things are right now:
My relevant layers are defined thus:

  LAYER
    NAME	    "time_idx"
    TYPE	    POLYGON
    STATUS	    ON
#    FILTER "(date_trunc('minute',image_time) = '2007-05-11T11:00:00')"
    CONNECTIONTYPE  POSTGIS
    CONNECTION	    "dbname=map host=localhost"
    DATA	    "the_geom from satellite using unique oid using srid = 4326"
    METADATA
	"wms_title"	    "time_index"
        "wms_srs"	    "EPSG:4326"
        "wms_timeitem"	    "image_time" #a column in postgis table of type
timestamp
    END
  END

  LAYER
    NAME    "sat"
    STATUS  ON
    TYPE    RASTER
    METADATA
	"wms_title"	    "Satellite"
        "wms_timeextent"    "2007-01-01/2007-12-31"
        "wms_timedefault"   "2007-05-11T11:00:00Z"
    END
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4326"
    END
    TILEINDEX "time_idx"	# Layer name containing time index
    TILEITEM  "image_path"	# DB column containing path to image
  END

There are 2 images in the satellite table:

map=> select image_path, image_time from satellite;
                     image_path                      |     image_time
-----------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 /home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/images/sat2.tiff      | 2007-05-11 11:00:00
 /home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/images/yesterday.tiff | 2007-05-11 10:00:00
(2 rows)

and my URL looks like this:

http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/time.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=world,sat&WIDTH=800&HEIGHT=400&FORMAT=image/png&TRANSPARENT=false&BBOX=-90,-25,90,85&TIME=2007-05-11T11:00

However, despite both the TIME in the URL and the wms_timedefault values
showing 11:00, I can only ever see the 10:00 image

If I use this URL instead:

http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/home/map/fgs/www/htdocs/maps/time.map&mode=map&layers=sat

And enable the FILTER line in the time_idx layer to select the 11:00 image,
 I can see it. I just can't seem to get it working using a WMS request. Most
frustrating!

Dave.

Seeing as I was building mapserver from source anyway, I resorted to putting
extra debug output in mapwms.c, and  I can now see the problems.

1. msWMSApplyTime() is only applying the time if the relevant layer is ON or
DEFAULT - because my URL wasn't specifying the time_index layer in the
LAYERS= parameter, this layer was being ignored here.

2. msWMSApplyTime() seems to want both the wms_timeitem and wms_timeextent
itmes in the same layer, however the impression I got from previous replies
in this thread was that wms_timeitem was in the time_index layer, and
wms_timeextent should be in the RASTER layer.

Putting these things together, I added time_index to the LAYERS parameter of
the URL and moved the wms_timeextent and wms_timedefault items back to the
time_index layer, and now it seems to work.

Is this how it's supposed to be? Or am I making multiple errors that are
cancelling each other out?

Thanks,
Dave.

Hi there...

Been using OGR to fetch some WKT data from an MS SQL table. This works fine...but a few om my records just wont show up in the map. 

The layer is of type LINE. 

Have the WKT directly in a FEATURE LAYER and then it is drawn perfectly..

Any ideas why a couple of my record just wont be drawn in the map?

Cheers!!

Message-ID: <WED.23.MAY.2007.160845.0200.JOHAN.VANDEWAUWGMAIL.COM>

Hello everyone,

When generating a map using mapscript, I notice that the extent changes
(slightly) after calling the "draw" operation.
I don't seem to be the only one with this problem as eg the ka-map wiki
says:

Print output is related to viewport but image extent correspondence in not
yet perfect.

Is there a way to make this correspondence better, or is there a way to
get/predict the actual extent used in the image before (or without) calling
the "draw" method?

Message-ID: <WED.23.MAY.2007.174417.0200.DOVIDIOPLANETEK.IT>

Hi !!

I have imported some geographical data (POINT) and their alphanumeric information in 
PostgreSQL\PostGIS database. The structure of the database is WITHOUT OIDS and there 
are no GIDs in the tables. So PK and FK are not numerical keys: they are string type keys!.

I have noticed that GeoServer (and uDIG Desktop side) is able to communicate with 
PostGIS without problem: i can display and query my vectorial layers.

MapServer (and QGIS Desktop side), instead, is able to connect and display vectorial data 
in PostGIS but it isn't able to query them. I am sure the problem is related to the absence of 
OIDS and\or GIDs. So MapServer is able only to query data if they have integer ids in 
PostGIS structure. WHY ??

How can I solve this problem ??

A  solution could be connect Geoserver to mapserver as a WMS layer, but I'd like to use 
ONLY MapServer!

Thanks a lot!

Ouch! Mapserver does use the oid, and having an index on the oid is very 
helpful for performance. (this was the case with 4.8 anyway, has it 
changed in 4.10?)

Mapserver/PostGIS queries by coordinate. "select where the_geom 
intersects" blah blah blah. I don't know about the other GIS software, 
but a unique identifier field, a primary key, is a pretty standard 
expectation.

I'd say to always have numeric fields for both PKs and FKs, but that's 
just me talking on general principle.

Mapserver/PostGIS does require a unique integer identifier per row. It 
does not have to be oid, that was used for convenience back when oids 
were always present. Now it will default to the primary key, which are 
almost always integers, or you can tell it which unique key you want to 
use with the "USING UNIQUE" keywords.

This is just Mapserver showing its shapefile-is-my-data-source heritage, 
where the shape file row number was used as a unique key.

Geoserver/uDig also require a unique key for important things (editing 
mostly), they are just a little more general in terms of allowing things 
like strings and other non-integer types.

Subject: mapscript draw method is buggy on SDE layer
Message-ID: <WED.23.MAY.2007.113908.0500.IVANO.PICCOAQUPI.TK>

Hi,
wrt my previous messages ( 
http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0705&L=mapserver-users&D=1&T=0&O=D&P=25025 ) 
I tried to replace mapserv with a simple mapscript (see attachment).
After  a stress test (ArcSDE layer, 6 user, 10 connections at the same time, 5 minutes long, 
lighttpd as webserver) 18 cgis still remain in memory (643 total connections). My script 
saves  the steps of execution on log files, so I can keep a track. 
This is what i found on a log file of a "zombie":
PID:17932
Start:2007-05-2317:05:20
Creazione mappa:2007-05-2317:05:20
Reperimento layer:2007-05-2317:05:20
Preparazione Immagine:2007-05-2317:05:20
Disegno:

As you can see the process hangs on $layer->draw($map, $img);.
My tests with Oracle Spatial and OGR finished without any cgi process, like other made with 
mapserv.
I hope this can be useful to found and solve this problem,
thanks,

I agree with you ! It is right!!

The problem is: a customer has sent me the database dump and the original data come 
from sensors in automatic way. This is the reason for which database structure is so bad !!

I don't want to change it, so I have asked u a solution.

Thanks

I think the width/height ratio of the extent should correspond to the

Even though I found a workaround that works for my application (generating
the image first and later the accompying html page), the original problem
still persists.

Just a short example of code (where the width and height are based on the
extent, like in my application) and it's output. My hypothesis is that maybe
the longitude/latitude values are the problem?

dl('php_mapscript.so');
$oMap = ms_newMapObj('/home/johan/rwanda/start-print.map');
$mapExtent = $oMap->extent;
$oMap->setExtent($aExtent[0],$aExtent[1],$aExtent[2],$aExtent[3]);
$tot = $oMap->numlayers;
$pw = 600;
 $gw =$aExtent[2] - $aExtent[0];
 $gh = $aExtent[3] - $aExtent[1];
 $ph = ceil($pw*$gh/$gw);
 $oMap->set('width', $pw);
 $oMap->set('height', $ph);
$oMap->selectOutputFormat('PNG');

var_dump($oMap->extent);
$oImg = $oMap->draw();
var_dump($oMap->extent);
die;

gives the following output:

object(ms_rect_obj)#2 (5) {
  ["_handle_"]=>
  resource(3) of type (Unknown)
  ["minx"]=>
  float(29.7975484895)

  ["maxx"]=>

}
(and after the draw method is called:)

Here's the code applied to the extent when drawing the map:

#define MS_CELLSIZE(min,max,d)    ((max - min)/(d-1))

double msAdjustExtent(rectObj *rect, int width, int height)
{
  double cellsize, ox, oy;

  cellsize = MS_MAX(MS_CELLSIZE(rect->minx, rect->maxx, width),
MS_CELLSIZE(rect->miny, rect->maxy, height));

  if(cellsize <= 0) /* avoid division by zero errors */
    return(0);

  ox = MS_MAX(((width-1) - (rect->maxx - rect->minx)/cellsize)/2,0);
/* these were width-1 and height-1 */
  oy = MS_MAX(((height-1) - (rect->maxy - rect->miny)/cellsize)/2,0);

  rect->minx = rect->minx - ox*cellsize;
  rect->miny = rect->miny - oy*cellsize;
  rect->maxx = rect->maxx + ox*cellsize;
  rect->maxy = rect->maxy + oy*cellsize;

  return(cellsize);
}

Having the width and height of the map the modified extent can easily
be calculated.

Sture,

I don't know why it isn't working.  Is there any pattern to the geometries
that don't work?  Such as being the longest ones?

If you were able to reproduce the same problem with an .mdb file, it would
be easy to file a bug report that the GDAL team could investigate.

Message-ID: <WED.23.MAY.2007.174516.0500.STEVE.LIMEDNR.STATE.MN.US>

In Swig-based MapScript (perl, python, etc...) there is a method called "fit" that
can be used to adjust an extent to a particular image size. For example:

  $rect = new mapscript::rectObj(50, 50, 100, 100);
  $rect->fit(200,100);

I *think* PHP/MapScript should have the same support. This is all from memory so
I could be off a tad in the syntax.

The math behind "fit" is the same Tamas mentions in his follow ups, but in a nicer
package.

Hello everyone,

When generating a map using mapscript, I notice that the extent changes
(slightly) after calling the "draw" operation.
I don't seem to be the only one with this problem as eg the ka-map wiki
says:

Print output is related to viewport but image extent correspondence in not
yet perfect.

Is there a way to make this correspondence better, or is there a way to
get/predict the actual extent used in the image before (or without) calling
the "draw" method?

Johan

It already has been. There's a chance 4.10.2 also has the patch applied
but
I don't have access to the source to confirm at the moment.

Subject: Combining layers into fewer tiles to reduce the number of Apache
 GETs
Message-ID: <WED.23.MAY.2007.184934.0700.ANDRECOVALUATE.COM>

We have a MapServer application that uses ESRI shapefiles. There is a
different shapefile for land, street, city name, railroads, parks, etc.
MapServer creates and overlays tiles/layers for each and decorates them
according to the mapfile.

 

The problem is that it requires over 200 GETs on the web server to pull all
these layers/tiles down to the client and render them. 

 

Since all these layers are static and never need to be toggled on/off, we
would like to ?flatten? them into one layer. This would reduce the number of
GETs by almost an order of magnitude.

 

Does anyone know how to do this while keeping the ?decoration? (like colors,
fonts, etc.) specified in the mapfile?

 

Thanks!

Andr? -

 

Your description sounds a little odd.  It is common for MapServer applications to contain many dozens of shapefiles.  There may be one shapefile per layer, but many layers combined into a GROUP with that keyword.  And a given MapServer request can specify as many layers - in one GET request - as needed.

Hi does providing the grouping that you add actually condense the number of
tiles that are generated? We are using kaMap on the client side for
retrieving the map.

Html Legends worked well before Mapserver 4.6.2 so I am still using that 
version.
Upgrading to 4.10 makes the legend disappear when I have about 25-30 open 
layers.
This did never happen in the older versions of Mapserver.

Is this still on some bug list and will it be fixed?

This is almost surely a limitation of oracle spatial.
You could try to recompile mapserver after editing the
maporaclespatial.c file at about line 58 where it says:

#define TEXT_SIZE                  256

and set TEXT_SIZE to a higher number.

Subject: Shapefile Join with MySQL table (2)
Message-ID: <THU.24.MAY.2007.035655.0500.MAPSERVERGEODATA.ES>

Sorry for the wrong format of the previous message:

Hi, I've been trying to join the features of a shapefile with records of a
MySQL table, following the instructions provided in the documentation:

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

I used the same directives used in the example of a join between a shapefile
and a postgreSQL table,changing the syntax for MySQL connections in the
CONNECTION directive, but without success:
JOIN
 NAME "join" 
 CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
 CONNECTION "dbname,host=localhost,port=3306,user=*****,password=*****"
 TABLE "municipis"
 FROM "codiine"
 TO "CodIne"
 TYPE ONE-TO-ONE
END

The same syntax works fine in ogrinfo:
 ogrinfo MYSQL:"dbname,host=localhost,port=3306,user=*****,password=*****"
lookup -summary

All table, field names, etc are double checked. Any ideas? Could anyone who
has done it before share his JOIN code in the map file? Thanks in advance

"Tiles" and "layers" are two completely different animals.  They have nothing to do with each other.  That's part of the reason why I thought the original poster's description sounded "a little odd".  kaMap is not MapServer; it's a client that makes MapServer requests.

If you want kaMap to request fewer, larger, tiles, tell kaMap to do that.  If you want MapServer to combine multiple layers into a single logical layer, tell MapServer to do that.  You may do one, both, or neither.

Hi does providing the grouping that you add actually condense the number of
tiles that are generated? We are using kaMap on the client side for
retrieving the map.

Hi Francesco, and Umberto,
    Yes, this is the correct way to increase the text size. I believe 
that exists a bugreport about it.
     Thanks Umberto for the quickly reply. Here the clock time for me 
was 04:00 when the issue started and finished.

Hi

I made the same experience with Java/Oracle/Connection-Pooling.

For the Oracle-Driver exists a bug-fix in this context:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1662

Maybe it's helfull.

Subject: Publishing and projecting data in WFS
Message-ID: <THU.24.MAY.2007.102645.0400.ROBE.DNDCITYOFBOSTON.GOV>

I'm using version 4.10. 
 
I have a postgis layer that I need to publish as a WFS  in both (at
least 4326 and 26986 projections).  After some reading, it appears that
there is no way to project WFS data as you can with WMS and that you can
only have one projection in the  wfs_srs meta data element.
 
I thought if I got rid of the wfs_srs at the top of my map and moved it
into the layer and had a separate duplicate layer with a different wfs,
that would do the trick.  It doesn't seem to work.  My data seems to be
falling back on using the projection that my map projection is
initialized to or if I specify a wfs_srs at top of map then it uses that
one for all layers.
 
With the below - I can query both layers in WFS in 4326 but not 26986.
WMS works fine in both projections
 
Here are what I think are the relevant sections of my map.

Hi Lars,

Try your map with just one layer at a time, try to see if any specific
layer causes your problem. If you find a problem layer, simplify the
layer settings ... one change at a time until you find what is
crashing mapserver.  If you find the problem with that layer, check
all your other layers to be sure it isn't repeated in them.

Do search bugzilla for this, I submitted something like this some time ago.

For me, there was a problem where incorrect antialiasing settings in
my layers would make mapserver crash or fail to deliver an HTML
legend, while not always making the map fail, and when the map did
fail it would not post an error. The website would just be missing the
map and HTML legend and often other items that would have been
generated after the map and legend.

It may not really have been a bug ... but rather an inelegant handling
of my incorrect layer settings.

Back when I posted my problem, the antialiasing documentation was not
clear on exactly what settings were acceptable for different
situations. Some settings would work fine in some cases but cause the
problem in others.


Good Luck,
Ken Lord

This showed up on the kaMap list but it seems more appropriate to the

I recently was able to get an extremely complex geologic data shapefile 
set to render much faster (after doing all of the other optimizations 
mentioned by everyone else) by tuning the filter expressions.

I changed all class expressions from the following statement type
CLASS
  NAME 'Dominant:Clastic sediment;'
  EXPRESSION ('[LithComp]' eq 'Dominant:Clastic sediment;')
  STYLE
   COLOR 255 255 0
  END #STYLE
END #CLASS

to

CLASS
  NAME 'Dominant:Clastic sediment;'
  EXPRESSION 'Dominant:Clastic sediment;'

  STYLE
   COLOR 255 255 0

  END #STYLE
END #CLASS

I was stunned at the performance increase this gave me, though it's 
obvious why it helps so much (in hindsight). The only reason I was using 
the former EXPRESSION statements was because I had used QGIS or AMEIN to 
auto-generate the initial mapfile...

Hope this helps,
Percy

10:1 speed advantage for PostGIS is nice and all, but seems unlikely,
even to this PostGIS zealot...

Does your layer have a FILTER on it that uses the attributes? PostGIS
does that great, shapefiles do it terribly.

I would expect on a very large spatial file (your 500MB example) the
PostGIS r-tree will be balanced better than the quadtree .qix file,
but that should provide incremental advantage, not massive
advantage.  One possibility is that you're running out of depth in
your quadtree, maybe tree bumping up the depth in your shptree call.

It does not support it (yet).

There were plans a few years ago, but I guess they never materialized.

GDAL would be the right place to add this.

Actually, it is in the documentation of the "expression" keyword in the 
"class" reference of the Mapfile reference 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/class):

"As you might expect this level of complexity is slower to process" 
(i.e. logical expressions versus simple strings).

The problem is that the x and y table fields are strings so as "42? 17' 30''N"

The database is not ours, and we access it through a stored procedure,

It might be easier to add a couple of fields to your database DDLat and
DDLong and calculate them via triggers from y and x. Then you could point
OGR at DDLong and DDLat...

Helen,

I am not aware of a way to do this with mapserver cgi and ogr.  I could
prepare a modification to the VRT driver to support this, but it would
likely have to be custom to you, since it isn't a generally valuable feature
(IMHO).  Also, use of a field in this format will defeat any spatial
querying that could be done in the database.  So performance will be poor
if there are a lot of features in your tables (ie. 10's of thousands).

Best regards,

Message-ID: <FRI.25.MAY.2007.130158.0700.DYLAN.BEAUDETTEGMAIL.COM>

Hi everyone,

While I am quite familiar with some of the conventional problems with the 
TIGER road data, I am a little confused as to why a specific county in Ca is 
MUCH worse than other counties. Even adjacent counties have roads which are 
generally closer to reality...

The general trend is an offset of about 100 - 300 meters to the north-east, 
with the amount of distortion increasing to the east. 

Here is a link to an example of offset local roads in Stanislaus county, CA:
http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/ka-map/htdocs/?map=casoil&cps=-2055233,-21524,12000

the offset from the imagery is quite obvious.

Does anyone know what might cause this county to be so much worse than the 
others, and if there is some way I can fix the data? Right now it is stored 
in a PostGIS table, so applying some kind of translation would not be that 
difficult. 

Cheers,

As to why that coounty is bad: the problem is probably more political 
than technical. Counties spend money differently, have different 
surveying crews, and so on.

As to fixing it, I suspect that your best bet would be to purchase 
better-quality road data for the county in question. TIGER is 
notoriously incomplete and inaccurate, despite the recent drive toward 
its improvement.

Sorry that doesn't help...

Message-ID: <FRI.25.MAY.2007.235924.0400.TOM.KRALIDISEC.GC.CA>

Hi,

MapServer 4.10.0
FreeBSD

I have a Perl script where I'd like to reproject a WKT string.  Here's
the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
use strict;
use warnings;
 
use mapscript 4.10.0;
 
my $projInObj  = new mapscript::projectionObj("init=epsg:4326");
my $projOutObj = new mapscript::projectionObj("init=epsg:42304");
 
my $shape = mapscript::shapeObj::fromWKT("POINT(-75 45)");
 
print $shape->toWKT()."\n";
 
$shape->project($projInObj, $projOutObj) || die "Can't reproject: $!\n";
 
print $shape->toWKT()."\n";

The script dies on the shapeObj project call.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Cheers

..Tom

I've used simple http authentication and x509 certificates in the past, although I'm sure there are other approaches.
 
I guess an initial question would be what/how do you want secure your WMS/WFS w.r.t. granularity?  Do you want to protect the entire WMS/WFS?  Or specific layers/feature types?
 
If the latter:
 
- do you want want to assign roles / groups to specific layers/feature types?  Do you want to further constrain by spatial predicates?
- this gets way more complicated.

I think initially I'm looking at a gate keeper functionality. I think 
the big issue is that I don't know what clients I need to support, and I 
don't think it is safe to assume it will always be a browser.

Do you have a writeup on how you setup http authenication and x509 certs 
wrt to WMS/WFS services? This sounds like it would be worthwhile adding 
to the wiki.

I did a google search and found various reference to discussions on 
this. Also found http://www.geoxacml.org/ which seems to be a complex 
solution.

Thanks,

Hi,

Here's a code fragment from one my earlier projects that might be
relevant for your intents.

string qstring = "MyQueryString";
layerObj layer = map.getLayer(0);

layer.open();
string qs = "";
string att = "";
for (int i=0; i < layer.numitems; i++)
{
	if (qs == "")
	{
		qs = "(";
		att = layer.getItem(i);
	}
	else
	{
		qs += " OR ";
	}
	qs += "'[" + layer.getItem(i) + "]'='" + qstring + "'";
}
qs += ")";
layer.close();

try
{
	layer.queryByAttributes(map, att, qs, 1);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
	Trace.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

using(imageObj image = map.drawQuery())
{
	//image.save("mapimg.png",map);
	byte[] img = image.getBytes();
	using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(img))
	{
		mapPictureBox.Image = Image.FromStream(ms);
	}
}

I haven't tested this with the recent versions though.

Best regards,

Tamas

I have nothing about PKI / x509 offhand.  For HTTP auth, it's nothing
more than setting your (say) Apache config.  Unless I've misread you
above, HTTP authentication can provide gatekeeper functionality and is
client agnostic (browser, curl, perl-lwp, etc.).

GeoXACML / SAML definitely covers the second scenario I mentioned
previously.  The challenge here is integrating them into existing SDI
components, like MapServer.  Because stuff like GeoXACML gets into the
information (features, layers, geometry), there needs to be some
integration between the security and resource layer.  It would be
interesting to investigate how something like this can work w/
MapServer, as I'm sure there are a lot of folks out there with similar
requirements.

DACS (http://dacs.dss.ca/) offers similar functionality, and has been
used in some SDI projects (like NFIS -- http://nfis.org/) but
(currently) appears to be UNIX-only, and define their rules and controls
based in their own grammar.

Note that Daniel (Morissette) would have input here as well; I'm
basically paraphrasing a conversation we had recently on this :)

That seems to indicate that it's rrying to load the file /path/index.php 
and isn't able to. Are you sure that the permissions are right on that 
file? PHP files should be 644 (or 600 and owned by the webserver user), 
and do not need to be 755 or executable.


> There are read and exec rights for all in php extensions directory.
> What could cause this?

Again, extensions and modules don't need execution, just readability. 
Still, the error you give above indicates that it's not the mapscript 
module that's failing to open, it's the index.php

Message-ID: <MON.28.MAY.2007.143228.0300.ARKADIMEBIUS.LV>

Calling extent = layer.getExtent() on the Oracle based layer returns rectObj with all components set to -1

The layer is created by

sqlMapserverQuery = "L82GEOMETRY from (select null, L82GEOMETRY, DATASET82ID, L82C23T1, L82C12T1, L82C20T1, L82C24T1, L82C22T1, L82C21T1 from DATASET82 where 1 = 1) USING UNIQUE DATASET82ID SRID 3059"

layer.setType(MS_LAYER_TYPE.MS_LAYER_POINT);
layer.setConnectiontype(MS_CONNECTION_TYPE.MS_ORACLESPATIAL);
layer.setConnection(mapDataConnectionString);
layer.setData(sqlMapserverQuery);
layer.setStatus(visible ? 1 : 0);
layer.setTemplate("any.html");
layer.setProjection(dbProjection);

I can sucessfully retrieve extent of SHP based layers. Also many other operations on the above mentioned Oracle layer works just fine.
I'm using Mapserver 4.10.1 from MS4W 2.2.3 on Windows XP, Sun Java 1.5.0_09, Tomcat 5.5.20.
Any hints? Is it a bug in my application or Mapserver?

Hi Arkadi Shishlov,
    I believe that the error is relate with your Data string.
    Just few questions, why are you using "null" and "1=1"? Any special 
issue? What version of Oracle are you using? 8i? 9i? 10g?
    I suggest you to use this: (and add the version in the end)
      sqlMapserverQuery = "L82GEOMETRY from (select L82GEOMETRY, 
DATASET82ID, L82C23T1, L82C12T1, L82C20T1, L82C24T1, L82C22T1, L82C21T1

Those were artifacts of dynamically constructed query. I cleaned them up, but the real difference was in specifying VERSION 10g (I use Express edition). After that, getExtent() returned valid answer.
I see getExtent() return extent in projection specified by SRID clause. Is it documented somewhere? While quite logical and understandable implementation, the MapScript documentation doesn't hint that map.setExtent(layer.getExtent()) may not work because (SHP based) MAP projection differs from this particular (database based) layer projection.

Thank you for the prompt response!

Hi,

I've added a new example to the svn trunk:

execute run.bat and see the resulting image.

Best regards,

PS: The sample map file also shows how to label the layer based on the

Are there guidelines documented what need to be done (additionally to VM garbage collection) to correctly remove unneeded objects (classObj, layerObj), and how to use objects that may exists outside of Map object hierarchy? Like colorObj, in particular. The previous threads on this list indicate that there are some problems.
I'm asking because Tomcat is crashing for me sometimes and I suspect this because of colorObj
   protected static colorObj[] symbolColors = {..}
   style.setColor(symbolColors[i]);
later the class is removed with removeClass(), also entire context is reloaded in development process. Is it correct use of colorObj? Or
   style.getColor().setRGB()
should be used? Which is rather verbose, because setRGB() takes all components separately.
Any other quirks?

To bring in some other words beside the already mentioned... You could
use deegree OWSProxy in combination with https to set up a secure
WMS/WFS-service. It has authentification based on WAS and WSS as well
as ordinary user/password-auth.

Beside that you could use InteProxy[2] on the clientside to make your
desktop client secure. Works well with QGIS, OpenJUMP and all JS-driven
webmap-clients like OpenLayers.

There is a demo at[3] to check out OWSProxy with InteProxy. Docs are
available here[4].

Arkadi,
we are improving mapscript memory management to make it both safe and
easy to use.
The details are explained here:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-24/

The current plan is to deliver rfc-24 with release 5 of mapserver.
Until rfc-24 is out be warned that the assembly of a map at runtime
(by adding layers, classes, styles, etc) can sometimes crash the JVM
and this explains exactly the kind of issues you are seeing.

As for guidelines:

Subject: Changing legend order with php mapscript
Message-ID: <TUE.29.MAY.2007.164811.0800.BENREMOTEINFORMATION.COM.AU>

G'day all,

I have an application where the country layer (+/- admin boundaries)  
are drawn in last (so they overlay population density data). This  
means it is at the top of the legend.

The population densities are one layer (in a five step range  
(descending), ending with 0 (ie no animals) or no data (no record in  
the db)) , so "Country borders" (in one of three languages) intrudes  
some way across the map picture, about the middle of the map when the  
initial thumbnail for the users to click on to move to an interactive  
interface is presented.

(see picture, say "yuk"!, offer solution!)

?
I would like the Country boundaries legend item to be at the bottom  
of the legend... I note there is a movestyledown function, but I am  
not clear on where this might be used.

Does anyone :

a) know if this function will do what I am looking for, or will it  
move the entire style down, obscuring the data behind the filled  
polygon?

b) have any code examples of how this might be (or where it has been)  
used?

cheers

Ben

Greetings!

I've put some roads, polygons and poi to my map, their order in the map file is: polygon layers go first, then road layers, and the poi layer is the last. A picture is generated like this: http://www3.mapasia.com/jackout/mapserv.png

As you can see, those 2 POI icons are covered by roads, can I make those POI icons always on top of everything else in the map?

I've tried re-ordering layers in the map file, but the icons are kept covered by roads.

Steve -

You're going to need to define your client requirements or you're going to continue to be buried in technology suggestions <g>!

There are plenty of options if you can dictate what the client does.  There are very, very few options if you cannot.  If you need to support unmodified ArcGIS 9.x desktop WMS clients, forget all the fancy technology because that client won't use it.  If you are building the client yourself, you have a lot of tools available.

For better or worse, OGC seems to have decided that HTTP authentication and security were outside the scope of their HTTP-based specs.  Unfortunately, some major clients have been implemented without any regard for that authentication!

Arkadi,

In this particular case both approach should work.
style.setColor(symbolColors[i]); makes a copy of the underlying struct
by value so both of the symbol object might be destroyed separately.
(However using different settings of ALPHACOLOR_ENABLED when compiling
the core mapserver and the SWIG interface might be a problem with the
recent version.)

Anyway, I consider the latter approach is safer especially when the
underlying object has pointer references to further objects or
strings. In this case the copy itself will not duplicate the further
references so the memory of those items will be destroyed twice.
Before the latest release we have made some effort to make these
unsafe properties read-only and engourage the folks to use your second
approach when setting the properties of these items.

The latest development version is also capable to operate with the
hexadecimal representation of the color value.

Best regards,

Tamas Szekeres

Message-ID: <TUE.29.MAY.2007.122031.0300.HRODRIGUEZSISCAT.COM.AR>

Hi everyone,

                     Six days ago we upgraded mapserver to version 4.10.2
and we are experiencing some problems with short labels using the ANGLE
FOLLOW new feature. The odd behaviour is exactly the same reported in the
ticket #2020 in the mapserver bug list.

      Our problem is that the work around listed there is not working for
us. I created the function in postgres with the current user that is running
the mapserver application, but nothing changed.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION pad(cString TEXT) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
BEGIN
    RETURN cString || repeat(' ', 4 - char_length(cString));
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

 

      I am doing something wrong?

 

      If anyone used this fix, I will appreciate a more detailed explanation
of the work around. I am not very skilful with postgres so any additional
information will be valuable.

      Thanks in advance.

Solaris is always a pain, since it usually has a combination of both GNU 
and non-GNU utilities. For instance, try using "gmake" to make sure that 
it's using GNU's make rather than Sun's version of make.

I have no gmake available, however I did also just try and install the gnu
make package from sunfreeware as well with no success.

Can anyone run this script (you might have to change epsg:42304 if you
don't have it defined in your proj epsg file) successfully?

I notice that this functionality was as a result of RFC2
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-2).  Just not sure
if it's my syntax that's off or if this could be a potential bug?

Try "make --version" and see whether you're using GNU make (gmake). You 
may have to explicitly state the path, e.g. /opt/GNUmake/bin/make or 
some such.

So I guess the the GNUmake from sunfreeware installs in /usr/local/bin as
'make' not 'gmake'. I had installed version 3.81 from sunfreeware. I was
able to install and then successfully begin compiling gdal using the full
make path (/usr/local/bin/make). It failed compiling when it hit the geotiff
formats. I had to change the compile options to use the internal geotiff
instead of LibGeoTIFF (v1.2.3) that I had already installed separately. The
compile also failed when turning ODBC support on, so I had to turn that
compile option off as well. We're still compiling so we'll see if everything
else worked ok. I had also pre-installed LibTIFF (v3.8.2) and libgif
(v4.1.0). Also already existing were libjpeg, libpng, and GD, so the compile
is using these external libraries.

Good to know. Like I said, I always found compiling anything under 
Solaris a, uhm, "challenge" :) due to the varying and sometimes 
conflicting packages. Expect similar issues with the linker, e.g. Sun's 
ld instead of GNU's ld, and so on.

That can happen, depending on the library. Personally, I use 
--with-format=internal as much as possible.

Mental note: you may want to compile Mapserver with --without-tiff, 
because a) Mapserver will implicitly use GDAL's TIFF support anyway and 
b) having both Mapserver linked to libtiff and Mapserver linked to GDAL 
linked to libtiff can cause some runtime linking problems. I found it 
safer to explicitly use GDAL's internal and turn off Mapserver's attempt 
at making TIFF a native format.

I cannot decide whether the results are correct, but it does't crash anyway.

Layers are rendered in the order they appear in the mapfile so I'm not sure how the POI symbols
could be rendered below the line work. You could try turning them into annotation instead of point
layers since annotation is always drawn last. You might need to post your mapfile...

Tamas,

Thanks for the info.  Trying this via python yields the same results as
Perl:

import sys, mapscript

projInObj  = mapscript.projectionObj("init=epsg:4326")
projOutObj = mapscript.projectionObj("init=epsg:42304")

shape = mapscript.shapeObj.fromWKT("POINT(-75 45)")

print shape.toWKT()

if shape.project(projInObj, projOutObj):
  print "Success"
else:
  print "Can't reproject"
  sys.exit(2)

print shape.toWKT()

Hi,

I am using the Java MapScript for my application and I would like to
present the option for the user to decide whether or not to show labels
for a given layer. Is there any way to turn the label for a layer on or
off dynamically? I didn't see anything obvious in the MapScript API.

Thanks,

Speaking from the world of PHP/Mapscript, with hopes that it's 
applicable to your situation... Our solution is to set the label color 
to something invalid, to suppress the rendering of labels, e.g.:

    $class = $layer->getClassNyName('roads');
    if (!$labels) {
       $class->label->color->setRGB(-1,-1,-1);
    }

Ooops, that does not quite work the way you are expecting it to. color 
-1 -1 -1 means transparent. so you are rendering the labels but they are 
just transparent. Since you are rendering the labels, it takes cpu time 
and it might bump other labels out of the cache. I don't think you 
really want to do this.

A better solution might be to set the LABELMINSCALE or LABELMAXSCALE to 
a value that would force the labels off, then reset the value to its 
normal value to turn them back on based on the zoom scale.

You might also be able to use LABELREQUIRES "0" | "1" to turn on/off labels.

Both of these are LAYER attributes.

I have not played with either of these, but you should be able to get 
one of them to work.

Hey, you're right. I'm glad I mentioned this!
You're right, set the labelmaxscale to 1 or some such would be even better.

Thank you both for your help. I was able to use setLabelrequires method
to turn on/off the display of the label. For the record
setLabelrequires("0") turned them off, setLabelrequires("1") turned them
on.

Cheers,

Ooops, that does not quite work the way you are expecting it to. color 
-1 -1 -1 means transparent. so you are rendering the labels but they are

just transparent. Since you are rendering the labels, it takes cpu time 
and it might bump other labels out of the cache. I don't think you 
really want to do this.

A better solution might be to set the LABELMINSCALE or LABELMAXSCALE to 
a value that would force the labels off, then reset the value to its 
normal value to turn them back on based on the zoom scale.

You might also be able to use LABELREQUIRES "0" | "1" to turn on/off
labels.

Both of these are LAYER attributes.

I have not played with either of these, but you should be able to get 
one of them to work.

Subject: Non-displayed layers blocking queries to other layers
Message-ID: <WED.30.MAY.2007.165810.1000.NELSON.LITTLETENIX.COM>

Hi all,

I am using Java Mapscript and in my application the user is able to turn
the display of layers on or off dynamically. This appears to work as the
layer turned off is no longer visible on the map image.

The problem is that a layer which is drawn on top of another layer is
masking the layer underneath even though the top layer has been turned
off. When I say turned off I mean I have set the status of that layer to
OFF (layerObj.setStatus(0)).

How do I know this is happening? If I edit the map file to not include
the top layer then they are able to query the other layer.

Perhaps I have failed to do something; I followed the PHP Mapscript
tutorials fairly closely. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated as
this is a bit of a show stopper for me.

Cheers
Nelson

    I am not so sure 0 is really the value for OFF (probably is, but 
query result successes return 0 as far as I know, so I always get 
confused), its safer to use the mapscript constants :

	layerObj.setStatus(mapscript.MS_OFF)

    But anyway, you said the top layer is "masking" the underneath 
layer, but what you're really doing is querying? If the layer turned off 
is no longer visible, I suppose your problem lies somewhere else, in the 
query method or the layer being queryed.

Subject: Multiple Levels-Of-Detail
Message-ID: <WED.30.MAY.2007.084825.0500.DAVE.WEAVERZEN.CO.UK>

I'm playing around with OpenLayers in conjuntion with MapServer.
What's the best way to have different levels of detail as I zoom in on my map?

At the moment I've done it like this:
My .map file has one layer per LOD, each using a MINSCALE/MAXSCALE directive
to determine when it's visible.

But that means I have multiple named layers, so the WMS request made by
OpenLayers needs to request all layers.

e.g: (mapfile)

  LAYER
    NAME         lod1
    STATUS       OFF
    TYPE         RASTER
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4326"
    END
    MINSCALE 75000000
    METADATA
        "wms_title"     "lod1"
        "wms_onlineresource"
"http://example.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=map/earth.map&"
        "wms_srs"       "EPSG:4326 EPSG:54004"
    END
    TILEINDEX  "lod1.shp"
    TILEITEM   "location"
  END

  LAYER
    NAME         lod2
    STATUS       OFF
    TYPE         RASTER
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4326"
    END
    MAXSCALE 74999999
    MINSCALE 50000000
    METADATA
        "wms_title"     "lod2"
        "wms_onlineresource"
"http://example.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=map/earth.map&"
        "wms_srs"       "EPSG:4326 EPSG:54004"
    END
    TILEINDEX  "lod2.shp"
    TILEITEM   "location"
  END

  # ... etc ...

then in the OpenLayers code:

  layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( "OpenLayers WMS",
		"http://example.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=map/earth2.map&", {layers:
'lod1,lod2,lod3,lod4,lod5'});

Is there a better way to handle multiple LODs ?

Many thanks,
Dave.

Subject: MapServer 4.10.2 Configure error
Message-ID: <WED.30.MAY.2007.100809.0500.ARAMSDELLSPINSYS.COM>

I am trying to configure MapServer 4.10.2 on a Linux RHEL4U2 machine with 
the following commands.  The script fails when it is looking for the gd files.  
Could not find gd.h or libgd.a/libgd.so in /usr/lib64. 

 I know these files are in that directory because I put them there. I also tried 
in usr/lib as well before /usr/lib64.  gd is already in the system because when I 
type rpm -query gd, I get gd-2.0.28-4

Any ideas? I'm all out.

Thanks,
Amy

Ok, so I got over the GDAL compilation hurdle with success. Now I'm trying
to compile the last supporting library shapelib (v1.2.10). It's failing
after the "make lib" with:

gcc -shared  shpopen.lo shptree.lo dbfopen.lo  -lc  -Wl,-soname
-Wl,libshp.so.1 -o .libs/libshp.so.1.0.1
ld: warning: option -o appears more than once, first setting taken

ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to .libs/libshp.so.1.0.1
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lib] Error 1

The "make" and "make test" worked just fine. If anyone has any thoughts on
this, once again I'd be most appreciative.

Ok, so I a reread my MapServer installation process I realized that
MapServer doesn't actually need the library files. So I guess I'll just skip
this step

Dave,

I am not an OpenLayers expert by any means, but as of the 2.4 release (at
least), now with RC5, you can add a Mapserver Layer directly. This honors
the scale dependencies you have set up in your mapfile and you can have your
LOD.

Check out http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/MappingYourData for a nice
tutorial. Make sure your watch the flash presentation. It makes it seem so
simple.

Layers are rendered in the order they appear in the mapfile so I'm not sure 
how the POI symbols
could be rendered below the line work. You could try turning them into 
annotation instead of point
layers since annotation is always drawn last. You might need to post your 
mapfile...

I have not tried this, but I think the syntax would be something like:

map_<layer_name>_labelrequires=0   to turn off the the labels.

replace <layer_name> with the name of the layer. Probably best if you do 
not have spaces in the layer name.

Hi,

My code working fine bcz of just adding TEMPLATE in .map file ( ex: TEMPLATE
"C:\..\..\test.html"). So you may get an idea.

Subject: lib-gd strange error
Message-ID: <THU.31.MAY.2007.104218.0200.ALE.PASTISCALI.IT>

Hi,

I have a really strange error on a 64 bit linux where I have installed both 
php_mapscript and mapserv 4.10.1 plus shp2img &C..

The error from shp2img is the following:

# shp2img -l News -m /srv/www/htdocs_ssl/maps/mapfile.map -all_debug 9 
> /dev/null
gd-png:  fatal libpng error: Invalid image width
gd-png error: setjmp returns error condition
msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined overlay 
symbol "/srv/www/htdocs/images/stories/con_info.png" in class 0, style 0 of 
layer News. <br>
msAddImageSymbol(): GD library error.  <br>

******* See:
https://85.18.34.128/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/www/htdocs_ssl/maps/mapfile.map&mode=map&layer=News

Now, if I draw this layer in the php_mapscript generated webgis (that reads 
the same mapfile), all is ok, and I can see the icon 
(/srv/www/htdocs/images/stories/con_info.png) on the map for that layer.

******* See:
http://85.18.34.128/vnlib/pmapper-dev/map.phtml?dg=News&me=1510570.0418719,5038600,1520156.9581281,5044582&language=it


I carefully checked permissions, paths etc.

"ldd" output for all the libraries and binaries involved shows that all are 
using the same library: 
# ldd mapserv|grep gd
        libgd.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libgd.so.2 (0x00002aaaaabc2000)

# ldd php_mapscript.so|grep gd
        libgd.so.2 => /usr/lib64/libgd.so.2 (0x00002aaaac29e000)


I really cannot understand what is happening here, and how to try debugging 
this.

/srv/www/cgi-bin/mapserv -v

Any help would be highly appreciated.

I think the error is due to the png file you are attempting to use as a symbol:

"/srv/www/htdocs/images/stories/con_info.png"

It's a possibility, but...

the same icon file works fine 
- on my testing machine
- on the production machine when the layer is drawn through php_mapscript

Too strange for me :(

Thanks for helping.

Hi list,

I wonder if anyone ever tried and actually managed to get STYLEITEM
working with GML data. The goal would be to define within the GML data
the color of the items.

Also, is RFC 19 [1] still planed for MapServer 5.0 [2] and what's the
status of this feature ?

Thanks in advance.

    Hello dear list.

   A problem is happening in our production machine which we were unable 
to reproduce on our development machines. We have a very large 
application almost ready for deployment, in which one of the modules is 
written in java mapscript 4.10.1,  and the error on the attached log 
happened for the first time when we installed the application on the 
production server. Whats worse, the GIS module causing the error brings 
down Tomcat and the whole application with it.
    This is a excerpt from the JVM log:

    It seems to happen while rendering the a map, but not always, so it 
cant be consistently reproduced. We just query maps and it will happen 
eventually.
    Also, "delete_1layer" is hints at the removal of a layer (duh) but 
we don't have a remove or delete layers anywhere in our code, so we 
suspect of GC problems. Could it be related to the problems Umberto 
describes in

   and if it is, could there be anything possible to workaround it? Full

    We're at a loss here, folks. Any help is greatly appreciated
    Thanks,

Rodrigo,
I am afraid it is. The good news is that we are working on rfc-24 to
resolve the issue. The bad news is that rfc-24 isn't finished yet,
although there is something done.

I need to know more about your web application and especially about:
- the type of data you have to access (shp, oracle, etc)
- which objects are created at run time and in which order (in example
you could have defined the map properties as a set of db tables (this
seems popular these days) and then created the map by reading those
tables)

In any case, I would suggest you try to build mapserver from svn (the
svn version incorporates rfc-24). You application would be a very
useful test bed for rfc-24.
To retrieve the latest mapserver source from svn follow these simple
instructions:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/cvs/

Umberto

Hi everybody,

I try to display .TAB data with styleitem AUTO on Mapserver with OGR
connection.It seems that Mapserver (version 4.8) ist not able to draw
information such as symbol angle, hatch or line type defined by OGR feature
respectively as a parameter, brush or pen.
I did not find any information about this for the version 4.10. Is it
planned to fix this in the next release of Mapserver?

Thank you very much for your reply,

Cheers,

    Hello Umberto, thanks for the quick reply.
    More details about the app: its a website made of 7 or 8 modules 
with distinct java technologies, being one of them java mapscript.
    We use java 1.5.0.11 and Tomcat 5.5.17 on a RHAS 4 Update 4 on a 
server with 2 Intel core duos and 4gb ram (final machine is  4 
processors and 8gb ram, but she is still packed)
    There are some threads running nonstop on the background and we 
expect about 100 concurrent users at any given time. I dunno what else I 
could say about the that would prove useful.
    About mapscript itself, its version 4.10.1, MS_MAXSYMBOLS was 
increased to 256 and MS_MAXLAYERS on map.h was increased to 2000. It was 
compiled with the options:

./configure \
   --prefix=$MAPSERVER_HOME \
   --without-pdf \
   --with-threads \
   --with-zlib=$MAPSERVER_HOME \
   --with-png=$MAPSERVER_HOME/libpng \
   --with-tiff=$MAPSERVER_HOME/libtiff \
   --with-jpeg=$MAPSERVER_HOME/libjpeg \
   --with-freetype=$MAPSERVER_HOME/freetype \
   --with-proj=$MAPSERVER_HOME/proj4 \
   --with-geos=$MAPSERVER_HOME/geos/bin/geos-config \
   --with-gd=$MAPSERVER_HOME/gd \
   --with-ogr=$MAPSERVER_HOME/gdal/bin/gdal-config \
   --with-gdal=$MAPSERVER_HOME/gdal/bin/gdal-config \
   --with-curl-config=$MAPSERVER_HOME/libcurl/bin/curl-config \

   And on mapscript/java:
	make interface
	make
	make test (all tests pass)

    All these libraries where individually compiled on that machine 
before mapserver.

    We're using only shapefiles. About 20 shapefiles (every one of them 
have a spatial index created) and defined in the mapfile. There is also 
about 130 symbols defined in the mapfile.
    Layers: each city represented (those 20 shapefiles) has a set of 4 
layers: political limits, primary roads, secondary roads and district 
limits. There is also a shapefile with a union of all relevant polygons 
from above shapefiles which will be used to query density layer later, 
this one is defined in the mapfile but with status OFF

    Map properties are read straight form mapfile. The actual creation 
and navigation (pan,zoom, etc) of the file does not present the problem. 
The feature that does, however, works like this:
    When the user first accesses the module, the initial mapObj is 
processed, created, shown and then stored on the session. Then the user 
can make a very detailed query (query window opens on a iframe) about 
the the subject of the software (I cant disclose) and a set of data is 
returned from the database. Among other stuff, the objects returned by 
the db contain a set of latlon coordinates and a symbolname.
    Then we grab the existing mapObj from the session and create layers 
(anything form 1 to 1000, depending on the query, but it seems to have 
no effect the problem at hand) to house new points. The order objects 
are created is:
    1. a layer is created and stored on the mapObj to house a clone of 
the points. This layer will be used on the density layer (step 7 below).
    Enter loop:
        2.layerObj to house new points.
        3. pointObj is created and set up with coordinates returned from 
db.
        4. lineObj to house the above point
        5. shapeOnj is created to house the above line. This shape 
receives a initValues(3) and 3 strings are stored on it too.
        6 . clone this shape and store a copy on the layer created on 
step 1.
    Exit loop
    7. walk trough all the shapes existent on the layer with the 
relevant polygons for density query and feed them trough a
    ThatLayerWithTheCopyOfPoints.queryByRect(shape.getBounds()) -> 
shape.contains(resulting points) type of construction so we can fill 
polygons with diferent colors according to amount of points inside them.
   
    This is pretty much the gist of it. There is a LOT of inline 
elements created trough the processing and much room for a GC screwup. 
The stuff to note however is:
    1 - The crash never happens mid processing, only after the resulting 
map after a query is fully processed, or even seconds or minutes later, and
    2 - it never happens on our development machines =(     Which makes 
me want to discard GC problems and look at the libmapscript.so built on 
that server, however the only difference in the whole compilation 
process is the linux distro: there being RHAS 4 and the machine I 
develop on (and where I built my personal .so) is Fedora 6.

    I will do it and report back.
    I hope this info brings some light on the subject. Thanks a lot.

Rodrigo,

This error happened when the garbage collector have destroyed a free
standing layer object. The C memory of that object have been
implicitly destroyed previously upon the destruction of the parent map
object.

It seems to me that you are possibly using the 'layerObj(mapObj map)'
constructor somewhere in your code for creating new layers dynamically
and adding to a map. I don't know whether it have handled for java so
far, but it is potentially unsafe for SWIG and RFC-24 is dedicated to
treat this issue (among other problems).

If this statement applies to your code I would suggest to use the
layerObj(null) constructor and using insertLayer for adding the layer
to the map instead.

This issue also applies to the 'classObj(layerObj layer)' and
styleObj(classObj parent_class) constructors as well.


Best regards,

Tamas

I don't know how the actual threading model looks like, but it's
potentially unsafe to pass the mapscript object among different
threads especially when the object have layers with open connections.
If the primary aim to do so is only to store the initial properties of
the loaded map object, I would rather propose to create a clone right
after retrieving the map from the session, and operate on the clone
instead.

I think what you're really after here is that you only want to request 
one named layer, and you want mapserver to return whichever level of 
detail is appropriate for the current scale.

The way I do this is just to give all the layers in a "detail set"
the SAME NAME. Try it, it's like magic :-)

Isabelle,

I think you should have a preconfigured matching symbol with the same
name of the pen style in your data source to render thick and pattern
lines. If you do not have a matching symbol with same the name
"default-circle" (if definied) is used to display the line.

For the layers of symbol types a symbol definition with the native
symbol name is looked up first, then the ogr-...generic name, and in
last resort try "default-marker" is used if provided by user.

Best regards,

Tamas

Subject: failed compilation of mapscript with mapserver 4.10.2 ansd php 5.2
Message-ID: <THU.31.MAY.2007.212436.0200.>

Hello all,

  while upgrading my Linux (Suse 10.1), i am trying to compile
php_mapscript with a new version of manually compiled php and i am coming
across a problem i don't understand.

With the mapscript from mapserver 4.10.2 and the includes from php 5.0.5,
all is fine.

While installing php from a version above (i tried 5.1.0; 5.2.1;5.2.2),
the mapserver is compiling fine but the php_mapscript.so is failling to be
loaded by apache: i get in my error_log  "symbol lookup error:
/usr/share/php/extensions/php_mapscript.so: undefined symbol:
zend_register_list_destructors_ex"

i don't get how this could happen since i can see this zend_register_ in
my includes  :
 #grep zend_register_list_destructors_ex /usr/include/php/Zend/*
zend_list.h:ZEND_API int
zend_register_list_destructors_ex(rsrc_dtor_func_t ld, rsrc_dtor_func_t
pld, char *type_name, int module_number);

and i see, this directory is included fine while compiling

~/Sources/mapserver-4.10.2/mapscript/php3 #make all
[...]
gcc -fPIC -O2 -fPIC -Wall   -DUSE_PHP_REGEX -DCOMPILE_DL=1 -DPHP4

-DUSE_GD_WBMP -DUSE_GD_FT -DGD_HAS_FTEX_XSHOW -DGD_HAS_GDIMAGEGIFPTR
-DGD_HAS_GETBITMAPFONTS -DUSE_ICONV -DUSE_ZLIB
-I/root/Sources/mapserver-4.10.2         -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/include   -I/usr/include/php/ -I/usr/include/php//dl
-I/usr/include/php//main -I/usr/include/php//Zend
-I/usr/include/php//include -I/usr/include/php//TSRM   -c -o
php_mapscript.o php_mapscript.c

Is this a possible bug in the includes inside the code of mapscript.c, a
bad cpp macro or something like that ?

thank you for any clue.

Hi

Some developers (Umberto, Tamas) work on a solution of this problem. 

As a workaround I made good experiences with 
http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0506&L=mapserver-users&P=87500

> if we dynamically create mapserver-objects, we allway use code like 
this:

> cO.delete()

With "freeing manually" we made the Mapserver inside Tomcat quite stable.
Hope, this helps
Benedikt

Subject: Mapserver doesn't draw double line
Message-ID: <THU.31.MAY.2007.022121.0700.JTOMANAGMAIL.COM>

Hi. Please, help with one problem.

I try to draw polyline, which contains one double-line-segment. 

E.g. : I have polyline [x0, y0], [x1, y1], [x2, y2], [x3, y3], [x2, y2],
[x4, y4]

But mapserver draws only polyline:  [x0, y0], [x1, y1], [x2, y2], [x4, y4]


I attach an example:
http://www.nabble.com/file/p10890299/00.rar 00.rar 

My map-file:

...
LAYER
    DATA "tmp"
    NAME "tmp_layer"
    STATUS ON
    TYPE LINE
...
END

...


Thanks in adnvance.
