It asks the username/password/one-time keycode combination and checks then the rights from our central user rights management service. After that it creates a fake WFS server (it could be WMS as well) on http://localhost:1555 . Then you can continue with whatever WFS client. The server side component is filtering and modifying the getCapabilites document that the client receives as well as getFeature requests from the client before they are sent to the real WFS server that is in our DMZ. None of our user have asked so far any questions about how to use the security proxy so I believe it is easy for them. For us it might have been a better idea to develop further some existing solution instead of making an own, it was more complicated than it seemed first. But at least the proxy is now fluently the same user rights system that all of our other services. -Jukka Rahkonen- -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List on behalf of Flavio Hendry Sent: Sat 1.9.2007 9:26 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] adding support for user authentication within Mapserver for GetCapablities and GetMap Ed, John & Co. might have a look at: http://52north.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=36&Itemid=120 Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards Flavio Hendry ---------------------------------------------------------------- TYDAC Web-Site: http://www.tydac.ch TYDAC MapServer: http://www.mapserver.ch ---------------------------------------------------------------- ############ Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Kind Regards ############ mailto:flavio at tydac.ch ############ TYDAC AG - http://www.tydac.ch #### #### Geographic Information Solutions #### #### Luternauweg 12 -- CH-3006 Bern ############ Tel +41 (0)31 368 0180 - Fax +41 (0)31 368 1860 ---------------------------------------------------------------- From bob.b at GRITECHNOLOGIES.COM Sat Sep 1 00:40:23 2007 From: bob.b at GRITECHNOLOGIES.COM (Bob Basques) Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2007 02:40:23 -0500 Subject: adding support for user authentication within Mapserver for GetCapablities and GetMap In-Reply-To: Message-ID: All, Ok, upon closer scrutiny, this is about what I was thinking about too as far as a "Ticketing" system being used for authentication. Geez, it's in java though and uses Tomcat . . . . I've had way too many problems with this combination in the past especially related to other application/service conflicts with regard to the way that different browsers handle things. Unless you have a fairly captive audience (which I don't) and can dictate to some extent what they are using for browsers, this combination can generate real big problems as far as administration. I'm not even going to talk about versioning conflicts, which is a rant all by itself. I was thinking along the lines of the ticketing authority in combination with session cookies. The cookie mechanism even allows for building of a log-off process. It's not however entirely secure. Still pondering and reading up on this stuff though, thanks for the link. bobb Flavio Hendry wrote: > Ed, John & Co. > > might have a look at: > http://52north.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=36&Itemid=120 > > Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards > Flavio Hendry > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > TYDAC Web-Site: http://www.tydac.ch > TYDAC MapServer: http://www.mapserver.ch > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > ############ Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Kind Regards > ############ mailto:flavio at tydac.ch > ############ TYDAC AG - http://www.tydac.ch > #### #### Geographic Information Solutions > #### #### Luternauweg 12 -- CH-3006 Bern > ############ Tel +41 (0)31 368 0180 - Fax +41 (0)31 368 1860 > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > > From gregor at HOSTGIS.COM Sat Sep 1 05:00:18 2007 From: gregor at HOSTGIS.COM (Gregor Mosheh) Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2007 06:00:18 -0600 Subject: hosted website installation In-Reply-To: <46D8F5EE.7090900@alt2is.com> Message-ID: Tara Athan wrote: > I got as far as the PostgreSQL install and then I ran into a problem here: > setenv LDFLAGS -lstdc++ > -bash: setenv: command not found You're using bash, so do this instead: LDFLAGS="-lstdc++" -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth System Administrator, HostGIS cartographic development & hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ "Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore." - AMANDA From flavio at TYDAC.CH Sat Sep 1 05:57:26 2007 From: flavio at TYDAC.CH (Flavio Hendry) Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2007 14:57:26 +0200 Subject: AGG is just mindblowing ...

Completely agreed. The fact that it is the best possible solution doesn't make it a 'correct' solution though: Having users use this particular solution is encouraging them to do something potentially dangerous, and because it's "not the way of the web", they should be warned that they are doing so that in order to make correct choices based on that fact.

I completely agree that you have to do whatever it takes to get the job done. If you're working in the web browser, you're in luck, since the browser takes care of this problem for you, and you can use HTTP authentication. That's a great thing to have. When you're working outside the browser, however, I agree that the lack of standard on this is frustration -- -- but I'm not sure that it changes the point of what the *right* thing to do is. The fact that the standard is looking to be anything other than asking WMS clients to support HTTP authentication seems like a problem that was originally brought up by Sean. I don't know if he was neccesarily saying that all clients should only use HTTP Auth -- I know I wasn't -- but rather that the standard should prescribe HTTP Auth, and then clients should support it. But, as you said, it doesn't matter what should happen: what matters is what happens, and what needs to be done in order to get something working for your use case. In the browser-as-client environment, the answer seems simple: Use HTTP Auth. Then, your auth can take place outside your MapServer CGI, and you don't get tangled up in a big mess of anything. The browser implements these things for you, and your webserver implements the other half. In other environments, you'll have to be more creative. You could have users sign in on a website, then store their IP as a user for a certain period of time (until they are inactive for 6 hours, for example) and allow traffic from that IP through. That could still be done 'outside' mapserver, using your favorite mod_foo bindings to write the authentication module. Or maybe you really do need to stick the username and password into the URL, for tracking, but be aware that those are easily copyable, more likely to be found by spiders, etc., so it may make more sense to tie it only to a token, perhaps one which expires after a certain time period, rather than a username and password, the exposure of which could be annoying at best, and crippling at worst. In the end, the authentication mechanism you choose needs to be down to you -- and if the "W" in "WMS" really wants to live up to its name, maybe it's time to start forcing the hand of standards bodies and client authors to support HTTP auth as a simple authentication scheme for accessing WMS servers.

I can't say that the results are surprising, but at least I have some procedures and empirical numbers to back it up. For the impatient ones, skip to the Results section at the end. :) I will be repeating this with larger files, as well as testing the effects of overviews and internal tiling, on my own time. This test of 200 MB files was intended to represent the customer's typical use case. *** DATA AND SETUP The dataset used for this test is infrared false-color imagery of Eureka, California. The pixel size of the data is 10684x6983 pixels. The spatial extent of the data is: -124.1987173 40.7379805 -124.0836036 40.8132182 The original TIFF was reprojected from UTM to geographic using gdalwarp. It was then converted using gdal_translate to generate the ECW and JPEG2000 versions. As such, all images are identical data and all are in the same projection. A mapfile was created listing three layers, named ECW, TIFF, and JPEG2000, each reading from the corresponding data source. *** TESTING I chose to use the shp2img program, rather than web-based rendering using OpenLayers or Mapscript, in order to eliminate many of the variables associated with timing, e.g. network lag and delays within the client. I chose PNG-24 as the output format since this is what we ually use, for its combination of quality and color fdelity The commands, runtimes, and URLs of the resulting images are as follows: shp2img -m mapfile.map -l TIFF -o tiff-fullview.png Time: 0.725s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/tiff-fullview.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l ECW -o ecw-fullview.png Time: 3.069s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/ecw-fullview.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l JPEG2000 -o jpeg-fullview.png Time: 6.071s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/jpeg-fullview.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l TIFF -e -124.1987173 40.7379805 -124.14116045 40.77559935 -o tiff-quad.png Time: 0.833s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/tiff-quad.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l ECW -e -124.1987173 40.7379805 -124.14116045 40.77559935 -o ecw-quad.png Time: 3.070s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/ecw-quad.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l JPEG2000 -e -124.1987173 40.7379805 -124.14116045 40.77559935 -o jpeg-quad.png Time: 9.073s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/jpeg-quad.png *** RESULTS Storage space: TIFF: 213 MB, ECW: 60 MB, JPEG2000: 87 MB Both ECW and JPEG offered sustantial reductions in storage space requirements, ECW best of all. Rendering speed: TIFF was the fastest to render, while ECW was significantly slower. JPEG2000 was very slow. When seeking a subset of the data, these results continued, though JPEG2000 showed a very significant slowdown on this very common task. Image quality: The original photo had a grainy quality to it. Although unattractive to the eye, these grains do represent fine-detail data, useful for analyzing the loss of such quality. As expected, TIFF retained all of the fine detail. ECW also showed high fidelity to the original image. JPEG2000 showed the most loss of the grainy detail, although in this case it did make for a "smoothing" effect which was not unattractive. *** CONCLUSION ECW and JPEG2000 both provide very good compression, resulting in a 65% reduction in storage requirements. Both ECW and JPEG2000 showed some loss of image quality, but the results are quite acceptable considering the reduction in storage space. At the file sizes which we typically use (up to 300 MB TIFFs), both ECW and JPEG2000 are probably too slow for our needs. With very large TIFFs, the disk access can often outweight the CPU speed and cause TIFF to be slower than other formats, but in the 200 MB size range, this is not the case.

Ed, I appreciate the need to be pragmatic. At the same time, we need to start pushing back against crappy client software, and start advocating for and implementing with best practices or the situation is just going to get worse. (The cynic in me feels that service providers like proprietary auth for its potential to lock-in customers. Free services are interchangeable, for-fee services less so.) I've got some great ideas for making per-layer CGI auth issues go away (or at least move them to a more appropriate layer of your system).

Very interesting. At the 500 MB or larger size, JPEG2000 rivals ECW in speed, and the speed difference from TIFF diminishes. This seems to bear out a theory I had that TIFF is best for images up to 1 GB, but above that, a wavelet-based compressor is more appropriate as the disk seeks become more expensive than the CPU time. I can't test with input larger than 500 MB, due to ECW's licensing restrictions, so if anyone does have a licensed unlimited-size ECW compressor, and cares to repeat this experiment, I would love to hear about it. *** SETUP The data is USGS DOQQs (black-n-white) of San Francisco, California. Several DOQQs were downloaded and merged into a single GeoTIFF using gdal_merge.py. Then gdal_translate was used to create ECW and JPEG2000 equivalents. All images use the same projection: EPSG 26910, aka UTM zone 10N with NAD83 datum. The spatial extent observed is: 543577.000 4150151.000 555545.000 4192431.000 A mapfile is created specifying three layers, named TIFF, ECW, and JPEG2000, each one reading from the corresponding raster. No reprojection is being done in the mapfile. *** STORAGE SPACE TIFF, 483 MB ECW, 98 MB JPEG2000, 114 MB Obviously, both ECW and JPEG2000 provide significant benefits over TIFF as far as storage space. *** RUNTIME PERFORMANCE # full view of the region shp2img -m mapfile.map -l ECW -o ecw-fullview.png Time: 3.076s shp2img -m mapfile.map -l JPEG2000 -o jpeg2000-fullview.png Time: 3.075s shp2img -m mapfile.map -l TIFF -o tiff-fullview.png Time: 0.480s # one square kilometer. that's 1/480 of the full square area shp2img -m mapfile.map -l ECW -e 549561 4150150 550561 4151150 -o ecw-1km.png Time: 3.077s shp2img -m mapfile.map -l JPEG2000 -e 549561 4150150 550561 4151150 -o jpeg2000-1km.png Time: 3.073s shp2img -m mapfile.map -l TIFF -e 549561 4150150 550561 4151150 -o tiff-1km.png Time: 1.065s As with the experiment with smaller files, we see that TIFF is a significantly faster format than the other two. However, the time difference has shrunk from 4:1 to about 1.7:1 Strangely, JPEG2000's speed is not the same as it was with the other experiment, despite repeated checks and re-runs. At the 500 MB file size range, JPEG2000's speed closely rivals that of ECW -- JPEG2000 seems to run faster on this trial, by some margin. (no reprojection in either experiment, very odd) *** IMAGE QUALITY https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats2/ecw-fullview.png https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats2/jpeg2000-fullview.png https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats2/tiff-fullview.png https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats2/ecw-1km.png https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats2/jpeg2000-1km.png https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats2/tiff-1km.png As with the other experiment, the wavelet-based ECW and JPEG2000 formats lost some degree of fine detail. However, this loss of detail manifested gracefully as a "smoothing" effect of otherwise grainy features.

This may be a problem related to locating shared libraries. Check the file 'config.log' for the exact reason. I looked at config.log but I'm not sure what I am looking for. I copied it to http://alt2is.com/mapserver/ if you are interested. Backing up a little bit, do I have to install PostgreSQL in the local directory? It is available on my webserver, but the version is 7.4.13 I haven't seen anything specific anywhere about what version of psql is required for mapserver. I did find this statement "If you intend to use your system's libgd, ensure that you have the development package also installed so MapServer can find and use the appropriate headers." on the website http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/compiling_on_unix/#introduction I suppose this might apply if I am using the system's psql. Unfortunately I haven't a clue what it means. Taking an even broader perspective, I am starting to wonder if installing MapServer on a shared server is really a good idea. It seems that it is necessary to be fairly expert at Linux system administration in order to get MapServer working in such an environment. This is not the typical background of someone with a website on a shared server- (it certainly goes way beyond the Linux courses I have taken.) And if that is the case, it might be easier just to setup one's own webserver. Also, since I have subscribed to this list I have seen a discussion about how a certain Mapserver application caused the server to crash. I suspect that if something like that happened with MapServer that I had installed on a shared server, my account would be cancelled. Its one thing to crash the webserver for one's own site, quite another to crash it in a shared system.

I can't say that the results are surprising, but at least I have some procedures and empirical numbers to back it up. For the impatient ones, skip to the Results section at the end. :) I will be repeating this with larger files, as well as testing the effects of overviews and internal tiling, on my own time. This test of 200 MB files was intended to represent the customer's typical use case. *** DATA AND SETUP The dataset used for this test is infrared false-color imagery of Eureka, California. The pixel size of the data is 10684x6983 pixels. The spatial extent of the data is: -124.1987173 40.7379805 -124.0836036 40.8132182 The original TIFF was reprojected from UTM to geographic using gdalwarp. It was then converted using gdal_translate to generate the ECW and JPEG2000 versions. As such, all images are identical data and all are in the same projection. A mapfile was created listing three layers, named ECW, TIFF, and JPEG2000, each reading from the corresponding data source. *** TESTING I chose to use the shp2img program, rather than web-based rendering using OpenLayers or Mapscript, in order to eliminate many of the variables associated with timing, e.g. network lag and delays within the client. I chose PNG-24 as the output format since this is what we ually use, for its combination of quality and color fdelity The commands, runtimes, and URLs of the resulting images are as follows: shp2img -m mapfile.map -l TIFF -o tiff-fullview.png Time: 0.725s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/tiff-fullview.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l ECW -o ecw-fullview.png Time: 3.069s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/ecw-fullview.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l JPEG2000 -o jpeg-fullview.png Time: 6.071s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/jpeg-fullview.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l TIFF -e -124.1987173 40.7379805 -124.14116045 40.77559935 -o tiff-quad.png Time: 0.833s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/tiff-quad.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l ECW -e -124.1987173 40.7379805 -124.14116045 40.77559935 -o ecw-quad.png Time: 3.070s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/ecw-quad.png shp2img -m mapfile.map -l JPEG2000 -e -124.1987173 40.7379805 -124.14116045 40.77559935 -o jpeg-quad.png Time: 9.073s https://www.cartograph.com/~gregor/formats/jpeg-quad.png *** RESULTS Storage space: TIFF: 213 MB, ECW: 60 MB, JPEG2000: 87 MB Both ECW and JPEG offered sustantial reductions in storage space requirements, ECW best of all. Rendering speed: TIFF was the fastest to render, while ECW was significantly slower. JPEG2000 was very slow. When seeking a subset of the data, these results continued, though JPEG2000 showed a very significant slowdown on this very common task. Image quality: The original photo had a grainy quality to it. Although unattractive to the eye, these grains do represent fine-detail data, useful for analyzing the loss of such quality. As expected, TIFF retained all of the fine detail. ECW also showed high fidelity to the original image. JPEG2000 showed the most loss of the grainy detail, although in this case it did make for a "smoothing" effect which was not unattractive. *** CONCLUSION ECW and JPEG2000 both provide very good compression, resulting in a 65% reduction in storage requirements. Both ECW and JPEG2000 showed some loss of image quality, but the results are quite acceptable considering the reduction in storage space. At the file sizes which we typically use (up to 300 MB TIFFs), both ECW and JPEG2000 are probably too slow for our needs. With very large TIFFs, the disk access can often outweight the CPU speed and cause TIFF to be slower than other formats, but in the 200 MB size range, this is not the case.

I am quite surprised by the lack of performance increase even in a 2 GB file, due to overviews and/or tiling. My only supposition is that the RAID is so fast that these performance enhancers don't make a difference, and I say that with tongue in cheek.

Usually you should run the program more than once and then average or even discard the lowest and highest numbers for each run. Suppose the following: you run shp2img against the bare tiff once and the OS will do its best to populate the filesystem cache if there is free memory. If you run immediately the overview the fs cache will be already filled and the OS will not be able to do any optimization, so the second run could show a degraded performance. To make sure that the initial conditions are the same for all maps you could also reboot after each group run.

Folks, As Umberto wrote, this test is really only a valid test of timing when everything is in the in-memory file system cache. The slowness of tiled images without overviews for an overview draw is not surprising since all tiles will be read and subsampled. Scanline oriented files will only have the required scanlines read, (for a 10x by 10x reduction in size, only 1/10th of scanlines would be read) so overviews of scanline oriented products without overviews are not dramatically bad. Overall, I think this test demonstrates the value of in-memory caching of data, but does not really measure performance for large datasets of which only a very modest portion will ever be cached when requested. Nevertheless, I'm very pleased to see some organized effort to measure performance in different scenarios. PPS. I think it is also wrong to draw any conclusions about differences of 1 or 2 percentage points in performance. Such results should be considered as equivelent for all meaningful purposes.

Nine times out of ten, a blank image means that your projections don't line up. I notice in your sample that you don't specify a projection for the output map, nor for the layer; though you do specify a extent in meters. I'd recommend adding a PROJECTION block to both the top level (the MAP block) and to the LAYER, for starters. -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth System Administrator, HostGIS cartographic development & hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ "Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore." - AMANDA From Jukka.Rahkonen at MMMTIKE.FI Mon Sep 3 07:59:00 2007 From: Jukka.Rahkonen at MMMTIKE.FI (Rahkonen Jukka) Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2007 17:59:00 +0300 Subject: TIFF performance: overviews and internal tiles: Surprise!

Perhaps we could organize a competition: who can serve the same imagery at fastest rate? There might be own categories for single image and tile indexes, as well as for uncompressed formats and wavelet compressed (ECW, JPEG2000 and MrSID). Some easily available, free imagery could be used as raw material. Landsat GeoCover images for example might be usable. Caching could be avoided by using sliding extents in requests, and result could perhaps be a total time of quite a many individual requests, perhaps one thousand. Other Open source and commercial image servers could join with pleasure the tough but fair game. -Jukka Rahkonen From bartvde at GMAIL.COM Mon Sep 3 08:21:46 2007 From: bartvde at GMAIL.COM (Bart van den Eijnden) Date: Mon, 3 Sep 2007 17:21:46 +0200 Subject: strange problem with quadtree index Message-ID: Hi list, I have a 3D POINT shapefile dataset, and if I do a query using Mapserver (or ogrinfo for that matter) when the shapefile has a quadtree index file associated (level 4), it does not find any features within the box.

I'll put the conclusion first, for folks like myself who are impatient. :) *** Conclusion: Both tiling and overviews are useful, but only on machines with resource shortages, such as slow disks or a lack of spare RAM for caching. Hardly surprising is the conclusion that throwing more RAM into the machine makes a bigger difference than any of these data-tweaking approaches. Although it's intuitive that faster hardware makes for better results, I was surprised to find a level of "fast enough hardware" that makes these performance enhancements useless. --- And now the more boring experimental design stuff. :) This test compares the effect of overviews and internal tiling on the performance of a TIFF raster data source, on a low-end system where disk performance is substandard and filesystem caching is minimal due to low RAM. *** PLATFORM The hardware is a mid-budget laptop: Core Duo 1.7GHz, single SATA hard disk, 1 GB RAM. The software is HostGIS Linux 4.1 running under VMWare Server. The VM was given 512 MB of memory, and the disk file (virtual IDE) was created entirely before booting the machine. (Hey, if the goal is a system that's slow enough to need performance enhancement, VMWare is as good as it gets ) *** DATA SETUP The data is 48 USGS DOQQs (black-n-white), downloaded and merged into a single GeoTIFF using gdal_merge.py. I then created three copies of the TIFF: with overviews, with internal tiling, and with both. All images use the same projection: UTM zone 10N with NAD83 datum (EPSG 26910). The spatial extent observed is: 543502 4150151 577642 4206427 The commands used were as follows: gdal_merge.py -o original.tif o37122e2ne.tif o37122e2nw.tif o37122e2se.tif o37122e2sw.tif o37122e3se.tif o37122e3sw.tif \ o37122e4ne.tif o37122e4nw.tif o37122e4se.tif o37122e4sw.tif o37122f2ne.tif o37122f2nw.tif o37122f2se.tif o37122f3ne.tif \ o37122f3nw.tif o37122f3sw.tif o37122f4ne.tif o37122f4nw.tif o37122f4se.tif o37122f4sw.tif o37122g2ne.tif o37122g2nw.tif \ o37122g2se.tif o37122g2sw.tif o37122g3ne.tif o37122g3nw.tif o37122g3se.tif o37122g3sw.tif o37122g4ne.tif o37122g4nw.tif \ o37122g4se.tif o37122g4sw.tif o37122h2ne.tif o37122h2nw.tif o37122h2se.tif o37122h2sw.tif o37122h3ne.tif o37122h3nw.tif \ o37122h3se.tif o37122h3sw.tif o37122h4ne.tif o37122h4nw.tif o37122h4se.tif o37122h4sw.tif o37122e3ne.tif o37122e3nw.tif gdal_translate -co "TILED=YES" original.tif tiled.tif cp original.tif overviews.tif gdaladdo overviews.tif 2 4 8 16 32 cp tiled.tif tilesandoverviews.tif gdaladdo tilesandoverviews.tif 2 4 8 16 32 The resulting "original" image is 34140 x 56276 pixels, 1.79 GB in size. The ones with overviews have them are 2.04 GB and have these overviews: 17070x28163, 8535x14082, 4268x7041, 2134x3521, 1067x1761 *** TESTING A mapfile is created specifying three layers, named BARE, OVERVIEW, TILE, BOTH, each one reading from the corresponding raster. No reprojection is being done in the mapfile. The mapfile specifies an output image size of 1000 x 1000 pixels. The virtual machine was rebooted after each test, to ensure that filesystem caching was not occurring, and each test was repeated several times in random order to ensure that no unknown time-sensitive variable was affecting the first or last in each series. # full view of the region shp2img -m mapfile.map -l BARE -o output.png Time: 40.196s 27.812s 28.473s shp2img -m mapfile.map -l OVERVIEW -o output.png Time: 1.787s 2.947s 2.905s shp2img -m mapfile.map -l TILE -o output.png Time: 78.947s 77.175s 75.600s shp2img -m mapfile.map -l BOTH -o output.png Time: 2.572s 3.647s 1.828s Ah-ha! Now that's what we're expecting! Tiling hurts performance in a case where you end up showing the whole thing anyway.

Does anybody have an idea about displaying elevation data(dt1). I have been able to get these files to display but the major portion is gray and some portion is black dots.

It uses something like a cluster of 9-10 systems running mapserver. This site draws primarily raster maps, but also has vector mapping that can be overlaid. I will defer to Ed McNierney for details. Where2getit.com serves in the ball park of 1/2 Billion map draws annually. We have a load balanced cluster of 10 +- mapservers drawing vector based maps. Slippymap.com is serving tiles that were generated using mapserver. I'm sure there are lots of other sites out that that are serving high volumes.

My question is, does MapServer support both the ESRI > world file and the MapInfo tab-file for georeferencing of raster? Mapserver has input data providers like a Shapefile provider that handle input from shapefiles. I also has (deprecated?) TIFF provider that expects some flavor of world file and if has GDAL and OGR providers that support a wide range of input providers. Since each input provider, which are not part of the mapserver development (for the most part), have their own symantecs with respect to world file support, you really need to be somewhat aware of which provider you are trying to use, and to be aware of what they support. So it would be helpful if you can post the output of: mapserv -v and maybe some details about the data you are trying to display. -Steve W From warmerdam at POBOX.COM Tue Sep 4 06:42:49 2007 From: warmerdam at POBOX.COM (Frank Warmerdam) Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 09:42:49 -0400 Subject: GIF TAB In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hallgren Johan E wrote: > Hello friends > > > > If I?m correct, the world file idea is an ESRI invention for > georeferencing of a rasterfile and MapInfo are using a tab-file along > with the raster.

Johan, MapServer (via GDAL) does not generally support Mapinfo tab files for assigning georeferencing to raster files. I think the GeoTIFF driver is an exception to this but I'm not exactly sure.

I am using Mysql 5 in windows XP. Mapserver was installed with ms4w 2.2.5. Normally Mapserver is working fine. I tried to draw a layer from a mySQL table. The table has spatial information, i.e. x/y columns. I tried in two ways first with .ovf file and then with direct ogr connection. I was unsuccessful in both case. 1) .ovf MAP FILE for the layer LAYER # point layer with sampled site starts here, query and join NAME "dbsites" TYPE point CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "mysql.ovf" DATA "aquidata" TRANSPARENCY 100 STATUS on HEADER "c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/appl/q_templates/gru_CGI_db_header.html" FOOTER "c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/appl/q_templates/gru_CGI_db_footer.html" TEMPLATE "c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/appl/q_templates/gru_CGI_db_class_query.html" TOLERANCE 150 TOLERANCEUNITS pixels CLASS NAME "dbsites" STYLE SYMBOL 'circle' COLOR 0 0 0 SIZE 7 END # end style END # end class END # sites layer ends here .ovf file MYSQL:URBSISdtb_GRU01,user=root,password=leo,host=localhost,port=3306,tables=qloc SELECT LocCode, X, Y, alt, lu, relief FROM qloc wkbPoint The ovf file was tested in ogrinfo and everything was fine. When used in the html template wih CGI substitution strings the following error was reported msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'dbsites'. msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. GetLayer(aquidata) failed for OGR connection `mysql.ovf'. 2) direct OGR LAYER # point layer with sampled site starts here, query and join NAME "dbsites" TYPE point CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "MYSQL:URBSISdtb_GRU01,user=root,password=leo,host=localhost,port=3306,tables=qloc" DATA "SELECT LocCode, X, Y, alt, lu, relief FROM qloc" TRANSPARENCY 100 STATUS on HEADER "c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/appl/q_templates/gru_CGI_db_header.html" FOOTER "c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/appl/q_templates/gru_CGI_db_footer.html" TEMPLATE "c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/appl/q_templates/gru_CGI_db_class_query.html" TOLERANCE 150 TOLERANCEUNITS pixels CLASS NAME "dbsites" STYLE SYMBOL 'circle' COLOR 0 0 0 SIZE 7 END # end style END # end class END # sites layer ends here In this case the layer is displayed in the legend, but not draw and no query are possible. If someone has any hints on how to solve that. Thank you very much in advance Laura -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My question is, does MapServer support both the ESRI > world file and the MapInfo tab-file for georeferencing of raster? Mapserver has input data providers like a Shapefile provider that handle input from shapefiles. I also has (deprecated?) TIFF provider that expects some flavor of world file and if has GDAL and OGR providers that support a wide range of input providers. Since each input provider, which are not part of the mapserver development (for the most part), have their own symantecs with respect to world file support, you really need to be somewhat aware of which provider you are trying to use, and to be aware of what they support. So it would be helpful if you can post the output of: mapserv -v and maybe some details about the data you are trying to display. -Steve W From bartvde at GMAIL.COM Wed Sep 5 01:39:32 2007 From: bartvde at GMAIL.COM (Bart van den Eijnden) Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2007 10:39:32 +0200 Subject: SYMBOLSCALE and SLD Message-ID: Hi list, when Mapserver applies an SLD to a LAYER, it does not remove SYMBOLSCALE from the LAYER, which results in line widths etc. which do not correspond exactly to the SLD line widths.

You can then write a WFS request URL or WMS request URL and this should return the specified map layer at the specified coordinates. You need to look up how to make WFS / WMS requests and how to set up MapServer as a WFS / WMS server. There are some good information on the MapServer web site, just use the search box. :) An example WMS request could look something like this: http://www.examplewebsite.org/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/path/to/map/file/mapfile.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=getmap&LAYERS=layerToDisplay&SRS=EPSG:4326&STYLES=&BBOX=-180,-90,180,90&WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=300&FORMAT=image/png You can use many different databases with MapServer. Personally, I would recommend Postgres with the PostGIS extension - this works well with MapServer. You would load your vector data into the database and then in the MapServer map file you would specify a database connection string as the data source for a particular layer. I found the book Web Mapping Illustrated, published by O'Reilly to be very useful. I hope this will give you somewhere to start.

Yes, that's a release candidate, and hopefully the right one! The source package is available at: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/beta The page above also contains links to binary distributions. They should be updated with binaries for this beta in the next few days. If no critical issue is found in this release candidate, then we will officially release MapServer 5.0.0 next week. Thanks a lot to all those who have tested previous betas and have reported their results, either via the list or directly in Trac (bug tracker). That helps a lot... please keep testing and sending feedback. The complete list of changes/fixes since beta6 is included at the bottom of this email. As was mentioned before, our plan was to have one beta per week until the final release of MapServer 5.0 which is planned for the week of September 12, 2007. More details can be found in the 5.0 release plan at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/release_plans/mapserver_5_0/release_plan/ Daniel Version 5.0.0-rc1 (2007-09-05) ------------------------------ - Fixed "MinFeatureSize AUTO" labeling for polygon layers, works for polygon annotation layers too (#2232) - Fixed path following labels with short (2/3 character) strings (#2223) - AGG fix a bug when rendering polygons with tiled pixmaps - Added requirement to provide validation pattern for cgi-based attribute queries using the layer metadata key 'qstring_validation_pattern' (#2286) - Fixed msDebug causing a crash with VS2005 (#2287) - Added stronger checks on libpdf version in configure script (#2278) - Added msGetVersionInt() to MapScript (ms_GetVersionInt() in PHP) (#2279) - _isnan prototype for MSVC builds from #2277 - AGG: Fix a bug when rendering brushed lines with vector or pixmap symbols (artifacts could appear on outline) - AGG: Adjust symbol height when brushing a line with a vector symbol so that the line width isn't truncated - Only include process.h on win32 (non-cygwin) systems, moved from maptemplate.h to mapserver.h.

I have developed a php application using MapServer. php is running as a module, not as cgi. The application was developed and tested on WinXP but when I moved it on openSUSE 10.2 I run into problems with the drawLabelCache function of mapObj. The problem is that it takes toooooo long to execute so my script blocks till maximum execution time elapses and thus the whole script halts! I have changed maximum execution time to various values without solving my problem. The execution environment I use is MapServer version 4.8.2; actually it is the current basic FGS package that includes the following components: apache-base 1.3.33 curl-lib 7.12.2 expat-base 1.95.8 freetype-lib 2.1.9 gd-lib 2.0.33 gdal-base 1.2.5 jpeg-lib 6b libgeotiff-lib 1.2.2 libiconv-base 1.9.1 libpng-lib 1.2.6 mapserver-base 4.4.1 mapserver-php 4.4.1 netcdf-lib 3.5.1 openssl-lib 0.9.7d php-base 4.3.10 postgresql-lib 7.4.6 proj-lib 4.4.8 proj4_epsg42xxx-support 1.0.0 tiff-lib 3.7.1 unixODBC-base 2.2.10 xerces_c-base 2_6_0 The [relevant part of the] script that I use is the following: $map = ms_newMapObj( $MAPFILE ); $image = $map->prepareImage(); enableLayers( $map, $image ); //my custom function that draws layers depending on user input $map->drawLabelCache($image); // THE PROBLEMATIC LINE !!!!!!!!!!!! $image_url=$image->saveWebImage(); $scale = $map->drawScaleBar(); $map->embedScalebar($scale); $legend = $map->drawLegend(); $legend_url=$legend->saveWebImage(); $refmap = $map->drawReferenceMap(); $refmap_url=$refmap->saveWebImage(); If I comment out the line where the problem occurs, the map is created successfully but of course no labels appear!

The event is the 'European GIS Code Sprint' organized as a post-event of the SFScon 2007 held in Merano, Italy. Planned Dates are: * 16-17 Nov 2007: South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2007 (http://www.sfscon.it/) * 18 Nov 2007 (Sunday): Outdoor GIS data collection for Free data set (somewhere in South Tyrol) * 19-21 Nov 2007: GIS Code Sprint The organisation of the event would be made by the Free Software Center in Bolzano. The Sprint would mainly have the aim to bring different projects to know each other and build up some standard interaction, let the teams of each project meet, discuss, design and code together fulltime and non-remotely for a few days, and obviously also do some bugfixing. Also we would invite power users in order to work on documentation, translation and even minor issues. In parallel, there would be the desire to collaborate on the creation of a free dataset by wandering in an ordered way through a defined region of the south tirol with GPS. The dataset should contain as many data as possible, as for example the dataset of the grassbook does. Moreover, climatic and hydrologic/hydraulic data should be integrated in order to support different analyses. Time is rather short and we would like to understand how much interest there is in such an event and more or less how many developer would like to attend. We feel that there is a huge need for a developer meeting that could bring together different projects, that really need to interact if they want to have a glorious future. Please give us possibly soon a feedback by *adding yourself* on the WIKI page created for the event: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/European_GIS_Code_Sprint Warmest regards, Andrea Antonello Markus Neteler From Steve.Lime at DNR.STATE.MN.US Thu Sep 6 06:12:31 2007 From: Steve.Lime at DNR.STATE.MN.US (Steve Lime) Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2007 08:12:31 -0500 Subject: Repeating labels along a line?

That's not an option as the code sits. You'd have to break the linear features into smaller features ahead of time. MapServer can (via the MINFEATUREDISTANCE parameter) weed out duplicates with that type of data structure...

In MAP/WEB/METADATA/, you can set "ows_schemas_location" (see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/#web-object-metadata) . If you set ows_schemas_location, the code will output the correct location of the DTD as per the main schemas.opengis.net site with the ows_schemas_location you specify. If you do not specify ows_schemas_location, the code will use the default definition. In either case, the DOCTYPE declaration is correctly outputted by the code. ..Tom From myardbenoit at GMAIL.COM Thu Sep 6 07:16:42 2007 From: myardbenoit at GMAIL.COM (Benoit Myard) Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2007 16:16:42 +0200 Subject: TCL/MapScript compile issue In-Reply-To: <6fb81fc70709060250v20818159ua5256ea56d7e1933@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: On 06/09/07, Benoit Myard wrote: > My Swig version is far too recent !

Due to the nature of shared hosting, all I can do is to upload files. it is unfortunate that they do not allow compiling, installtion, or change of environmental variables. I have been looking around for about a month, and have not found a solution yet. I tried FWTOOLS, using the approach that Frank Warmerdam indicated (below), but with no luck. - upload mapserv executable and all the shared libraries somewhere. - upload proj.4 support files (like epsg init file) somewhere - create a mapserv wrapper script in the cgi-bin directory which sets environment variables pointing to various things and then executes the real mapserv binary. Environment variables would include: LD_LIBRARY_PATH: needs to point to directory with all the .so files. PROJ_LIB: needs to point to directory with the proj support files. Now I have to come back to this mailing list for help. Basically, I am looking for the mapserver cgi and the SO files (for libpng, freetype, libgd, Zlib, Proj4, GEOS, GDAL). I will use a wrapper script to define the location of the dependencies, using Frank Warmerdam's suggestions. I will appreciate it if anyone can email me this type of binary package.

Have you tried configuring PHP as a CGI and see if that helps? You'd do that by changing the www/conf.d/php4.conf and restarting FGS, if I remember correctly there are sample config files for both PHP as CGI and PHP as module in that directory. You could also try using the latest "FGS-msx" that contain more recent versions of everything, including daily builds of the latest MapServer 5.0.0 release candidate code: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/release_plans/mapserver_5_0/fgs-msx-5.0/ Daniel Dimitris Riggas wrote: > Hello everybody, > I have the following problem and any help is most welcome! > > I have developed a php application using MapServer. php is running as a > module, not as cgi. > The application was developed and tested on WinXP but when I moved it on > openSUSE 10.2 I run into problems with the drawLabelCache function of > mapObj.

In-Reply-To: <73980.46126.qm@web38111.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Peter- there should be quite a few message in the archives over the last two weeks where I was getting advice from this list about installing mapserver on a shared hosting plan. I tried quite a few things, including FWTOOLS as well as building from scratch. I could never get the extra libraries recognized as they were needed. It appears that mapserver is not ready for the shared hosting environment, unless you are so experienced at Linux system adminstration that you can figure out on your own how to circumvent all the limitations of your particular service. Or perhaps it is the documentation of how to do it that is the gap. Either way, after investing considerable hours and attempting all proposed solutions kindly suggested by this list, I gave up. I am now trying out a mapserver hosting service in addition to my shared host service. I choose not to move all of my pages to the mapserver hosting service, because the shared hosting service offers quite a few things that the mapserver services do not, plus I have several sites in the middle of transition to CMS and it was just too complicated. If you haven't got too much invested with your shared hosting plan, you could drop them entirely and move your whole site to a mapserver hosting service, as that would be cheaper, (although not as cheap as most shared hosting plans!) Good luck. If you do somehow manage to get mapserver installed on your shared host service, please post the details as it would benefit many others.

I'm trying to take an image that already exists and display it through mapserver. It's a map from a college campus that I will eventually superimpose over another layer. No matter what I do, the image won't display. For projection, I'm Using UTM projection, WGS84 ellipsoid, NAD83 datum. The campus is University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. Since I'm using UTM, I know that the zone is 16. I've geocoded the top right and bottom left corners of the campus. The Easting of the bottom left corner is 393,898 Meters and the Northing is 4,438,945 Meters. The Easting of the top right is 396,253 Meters and the Northing is 4,441,379 Meters. I don't know if I'm leaving any parameters out in the Projection object in either the Map Object or the one Layer Object I have. Plus, I don't know if I'm declaring the Extent wrong. On top of that, someone suggested to me that I'd need a world file to specify where the image is located on a globe. I've set one up and am also specifying the values according to UTM, thought I'm not really sure what the 1st and 4th value really mean (yes - I've read many variations of the same definition for setting up world files). I'm using Ubuntu Feisty Linux and php Mapscript. I'm attaching the world file, .map file, and .php file. The .gif file is too big but can be located at: http://www.parking.uiuc.edu/campus_map/. Click on "Larger Image" and download that .pdf. I used Photoshop to convert it to a .gif, .png, .jpg, and .tif also and tried all of those but to no avail. As far as Mapserver info: MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG I'm stuck, and don't know what else to do. I've spent almost 2 weeks trying to get this to work as I've been learning about Mapserver, Mapscript, and projections. Any help to point me in the right direction would awesome. Also, if this isn't possible to do and I'm beating my head against a wall, that would be helpful too. My head hurts.

In-Reply-To: <46E060E9.7080707@alt2is.com> Message-ID: Dear Tara: I do not know Linux, However, the approach I wanted to take is valid, if you could read Novell's tech paper: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11775.html Our MapServer Expert Frank Warmerdam also recommended the same approach. IMHO, this kind of package may be very important for our MapServer community. A few years ago, a friend told me that a student spent three weeks to get mapserver installed. I laughed, as I though that should be a 20-minutes work (at least it is true for ArcIMS, let alone ArcIMS's comprehensie functions). Now, I have spent two months, and did not get it work. Considering human resource cost, MapServer is actually more expensive than ArcIMS. Would it make sense for the The annual Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) conference discuss this in its coming conference? --- Tara Athan wrote: > Peter- there should be quite a few message in the archives over the last > two weeks where I was getting advice from this list about installing > mapserver on a shared hosting plan.

Peter, well, there already is a package like that, it's called FWTools. If that didn't work out as expected, then I don't quite understand why you are looking for another one. I mean, they are all just binary packages, if one doesn't work for some reason, then why should another one? Would you care to enlighten us as to *why* FWTools didn't work and *why* you believe some other package would do the trick?

I'm trying to take an image that already exists and display it through mapserver. It's a map from a college campus that I will eventually superimpose over another layer. No matter what I do, the image won't display. For projection, I'm Using UTM projection, WGS84 ellipsoid, NAD83 datum. The campus is University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. Since I'm using UTM, I know that the zone is 16. I've geocoded the top right and bottom left corners of the campus. The Easting of the bottom left corner is 393,898 Meters and the Northing is 4,438,945 Meters. The Easting of the top right is 396,253 Meters and the Northing is 4,441,379 Meters. I don't know if I'm leaving any parameters out in the Projection object in either the Map Object or the one Layer Object I have. Plus, I don't know if I'm declaring the Extent wrong. On top of that, someone suggested to me that I'd need a world file to specify where the image is located on a globe. I've set one up and am also specifying the values according to UTM, thought I'm not really sure what the 1st and 4th value really mean (yes - I've read many variations of the same definition for setting up world files). I'm using Ubuntu Feisty Linux and php Mapscript. I'm attaching the world file, .map file, and .php file. The .gif file is too big but can be located at: http://www.parking.uiuc.edu/campus_map/. Click on "Larger Image" and download that .pdf. I used Photoshop to convert it to a .gif, .png, .jpg, and .tif also and tried all of those but to no avail. As far as Mapserver info: MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE DEBUG=MSDEBUG I'm stuck, and don't know what else to do. I've spent almost 2 weeks trying to get this to work as I've been learning about Mapserver, Mapscript, and projections. Any help to point me in the right direction would awesome. Also, if this isn't possible to do and I'm beating my head against a wall, that would be helpful too. My head hurts.

In-Reply-To: A Message-ID: Good points Barend. I would also add that while building ArcIMS from source on a Windows machine. The user should not have admin rights, access to many of the directories, or access to all of the applications/services running on the machine. To be serious (and maybe constructive), you are looking for a way to build or install software in an environment that has purposely been set up to prevent or discourage the installation of custom software. Shared hosts usually set up their permissions schemes for a reason. If you were to go with a host that offered MapServer services, or a host that would provide a virtual server that included 'admin' rights, you could install/run MapServer. The FGS Linux installer makes it pretty easy to install MapServer on a linux machine. Assuming that you have permissions to install software on the machine. (it won't likely work on a shared host). http://www.maptools.org/fgs/ It doesn't look like FGS is being kept up to date on versions though.

The latter involves unzipping one archive, and you have a working installation. I'm also no Linux user, but I know pre-packaged version exist, just as they exist for Windows (http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/) and MacOSX ( http://www.kyngchaos.com/)... __ Barend K?bben International Institute for Geo-information Sciences and Earth Observation (ITC) PO Box 6, 7500AA Enschede (The Netherlands) ph: +31 (0)53 4874253; fax: +31 (0)53 4874335 On 07-09-2007 03:35, "Peter Shrock" wrote: > Dear Tara: > > I do not know Linux, However, the approach I wanted to take is valid, > if you could read Novell's tech paper: > http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11775.html > > Our MapServer Expert Frank Warmerdam also recommended the same > approach. > > IMHO, this kind of package may be very important for our MapServer > community. > > A few years ago, a friend told me that a student spent three weeks to > get mapserver installed.

To get your map file properly set up 2. To confirm that your image is properly georeferenced. For the map file: Have you looked at the Raster Data HowTo? http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data This should give you some simple examples. You shouldn't actually need projection blocks unless you are combining data from different projections or serving the data up as a WMS. If you do need to use projections, and your data is in UTM Zone 16, using the epsg definition that I sent in the last email will make it easier. Get rid of the EXTENT line in your LAYER, I don't believe that this property exists. Set your LAYER STATUS to DEFAULT. Get rid of the CLASS block in your LAYER. For the image, run gdalinfo on it and see if the georeferencing information is correct.

This was some experimental code that was added, I don't think Bill Binko has been available to continue the development (I might be wrong on that), so there it sits for the time being. http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-6/ http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1305 > If so, > a) Is a linear equal-interval method used for picking the color?

I think there needs to be some discussion as to what level of support there is for this feature.

I see a couple of steps: 1. someone with the appropriate level of Linux expertise to experiment with enough of these webhosting services to determine the configurations and settings needed for a broad variety of circumstances (different shells, different Linux flavors); 2. someone with extensive Mapserver expertise to document any dangerous practices that a novice mapserver user should avoid in order to keep from crashing the server or unexpectedly demanding high amounts of bandwidth or memory, that could cause the hosting service to disable the account or charge extra for exceeding account limitations. I will be attending FOSS4G2007 and would be interested in hearing this discussed.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Chris - Good job! All layers in a map file are presumed to be the same projection unless specified otherwise, and the only reason you really need to specify projections is if you have layers in different projections. Then MapServer needs to know which layers need to be reprojected and how. As long as you use the UNITS METERS at the top (so scalebars and things work) and all your data are in UTM Zone 16, you can ignore projections entirely. MapServer will simply work with a bunch of X/Y coordinates without knowing to what projection they refer. - Ed -- Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: (978) 251-4242 Fax: (978) 251-1396 ed at topozone.com > From: Christopher Harris > Reply-To: Christopher Harris > Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2007 11:38:56 -0500 > To: > Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Thanks Guys!!!! > > Thanks Dave and Ed!

If not, perhaps you could provide me the first few lines of the file. The .csv driver has a quite a bit more restrictive concept of format than the windows ODBC csv driver.

I'd also found the documents to be a bit difficult on the subject. In the std docs, look at what OGR docs have to say about mysql. Ignore anything you see on the "MYGIS" CONNECTIONTYPE; I've exclusively been using the MySQL support under OGR. All my efforts have been using the MySQL Spatial constructs. Some quick notes that should help: 1. As mentioned, only use OGR support for MySQL. 2. I'm assuming you're using MySQL Spatial Geometry only. 3. Make sure your Geometry column has a Spatial Index if you want to do spatial queries (see DATA statement below). 4. Build or otherwise make sure (ogrinfo.exe) that your GDAL lib supports MySQL. 5. mapfile extract: LAYER NAME "MySQLdata" TYPE point STATUS DEFAULT CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "mysql:databasename,user=mysqluser,password=mysqlpasswd,host=mysqlhost,port=3306" # make sure your port is really 3306. fill in the actual values for db user passwd host, of course DATA "select attr1,attr2,geom from tablename where attr1 not like '%HH' and MBRIntersects(GeomFromText('Polygon((-98 29,-98 30,-97 30,-97 29,-98 29))' ),shape)" LABELITEM attr2 CLASSITEM attr1 CLASS EXPRESSION /...[0-9][0-9]/ ...... 6. The DATA statement above, from some zipcode data I've done, shows a WHERE clause; you can use whatever SQL you need (joins, etc.). It's possible that the OGR driver will actually make all your attributes available to you without their explicit mention in the DATA statement, but I haven't experimented with all the variations. 7. The DATA statement also illustrates a spatial query -- pretty essential for performance if you want to pull a small amount of data from a large dataset. I hope this helps. have fun.

What projection is your output map in? This is the projection of the overall map, presumably the NZ grid. 2. What projection is your data in? This is the projection assigned to your layer. If different than #1, it must be assigned and the data will be reprojected on-the-fly. 3. What is the extent in the output map projection? Use this to set the map extents. If your output map is in the epsg:27200 projection , then your given extents (-180, -90, 180, 90) are not correct. Those are the geographic coordinates (ie longitudes and latitudes) but you want to specify the extent in the NZ grid. - matt On 9/9/07, Terence Maru wrote: > > > > Hi all, I have added a projection to the map object (see attached php > script).

To fix this you have two ways, the first is use a version with this support, and the second is compile Mapserver by yourself. The blank image can occur because the objects from your layer was not inside of the extent that you defined. Another issue can be with OracleSpatial, how did you imported the data in database? Are you use shape or library? If yes, did you execute the SDO_MIGRATE.TO_CURRENT (you can find more info in the section 17 of the OracleSpatial manual)? I don't recommend to use the "*" in the data definition, like "select * from".

I will try and provide an answer below, but that may not be enough for you. If you want to use MapServer purely as a viewer, and by that, it seems to imply that you want to use it as a desktop viewer (one person), then it is really not the right product. Try looking at QGIS or uDig. MapServer, as the name implies, is a server, and getting it going takes a bit more than insignificant work, usually worth it in a server type demand situation. Whether or not any of these products can read AutoCad data, look at the docs. AutoCad data come in many different formats... which one were you interested in? The docs of any of the above products will tell you. As I said above, you will have to look at your own data formats and then look at the docs of the products you are considering.

I posted last week about trying to get an image that I already have to be displayed on a layer with help from a world file. That all works. Now, I have new questions. My world file is using the UTM projection. The tricky part now is that I need to specify in my map file the extent in latitudes and longitudes. I have the appropriate geocodes, and I know that a world file and extent are lower left x,y then top right x,y and that an image is top left x,y then bottom right x,y. So I have all that compensated for, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it working in meters for UTM as my extent. I've tried entering in the geocodes as the extent for the MAP object. That didn't work. So, I figured "I'm using UTM in my world file. Maybe I need to specify latlong projection for the MAP object." That didn't work either.

The process is called geocoding. You?re using it as a noun and I really can?t figure out just what you mean. If you can give some examples that would be helpful. The EXTENT of your map must be specified in the units and coordinates of the output projection of your map image. While you can combine lat/lon data and UTM data in multiple layers, your output map image must be one projection. As I recall, you were taking a UTM source raster and producing a UTM output image. That?s fine. Do you want to change that? I would discourage you strongly from changing your output projection, as UTM is an excellent choice for your application. Your raster map image shows a certain portion of the world, at a certain resolution/scale, in a particular projection. Your world file documents this information so applications can use it. You can?t modify your image by playing with the world file ? the world file either accurately describes the raster image, or it?s wrong. I think you had a correct world file for your raster layer already; if so, don?t touch it ? you can only make it incorrect. If you can explain a little about what your geocodes are and how you need to display them we can probably help. If I?m missing the boat please try to explain what it is you?re trying to go (in non-technical terms). - Ed -- Ed McNierney Chief Mapmaker Demand Media / TopoZone.com 73 Princeton Street, Suite 305 North Chelmsford, MA 01863 Phone: (978) 251-4242 Fax: (978) 251-1396 ed at topozone.com From: Christopher Harris Reply-To: Christopher Harris Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 11:44:06 -0500 To: Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] latlong issues Hi.

Rob, I have determined this is indeed a bug in mapresample.c (checking for _USE_AGG instead of USE_AGG) and is present in the current release candidate (RC2). I have created a bug report for this issue, and will apply a fix this afternoon. Whether it makes it into MapServer 5.0 final or not depends on whether we have enough issues to justify another RC go-around. http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2303 Thanks for the specific report - it made it very easy for me to find the problem.

The projection for the output map is in (NZ Mapping Grid = 27200) this is set using mapscript - is this correct? $map = ms_newMapObj(""); $map->setProjection('init=epsg:27200'); The projection for the layer is not set using mapscript. The layer information comes from a postgis database. When I imported the data into the postgres/postgis database I set the srid. This is validated from describing the parcels table - Is this correct, should I be using mapscript to set the projection in the map file for this layer? Check constraints: "enforce_dims_the_geom" CHECK (ndims(the_geom) = 2) "enforce_geotype_the_geom" CHECK (geometrytype(the_geom) = 'MULTIPOLYGON'::text OR the_geom IS NULL) "enforce_srid_the_geom" CHECK (srid(the_geom) = 27200) To find the correct extents from the postgis database I used this sql statement - Is this correct select extent(the_geom) from parcels; extent --------------------------------------------- BOX(2825539.75 6199758.5,2942387.5 6283728) (1 row) I then set the extent in the map file using mapscript $map->setExtent(2825539.75, 6199758.5, 2942387.5, 6283728); Image was still blank. I think I will set the projection in the layer and see how that goes, any help would be much appreciated.

What projection is your output map in? This is the projection of the overall map, presumably the NZ grid. 2. What projection is your data in? This is the projection assigned to your layer. If different than #1, it must be assigned and the data will be reprojected on-the-fly. 3. What is the extent in the output map projection? Use this to set the map extents. If your output map is in the epsg:27200 projection , then your given extents (-180, -90, 180, 90) are not correct. Those are the geographic coordinates (ie longitudes and latitudes) but you want to specify the extent in the NZ grid. - matt On 9/9/07, Terence Maru wrote: > > > > Hi all, I have added a projection to the map object (see attached php > script).

I found Flavio's comment interesting that qix and MapInfo TAB used the same type of index. Much of my data is in MapInfo format, and I have always converted to shp for use in MapServer. I did two quick tests and found that the shp/qix is still faster than the MapInfo TAB. I assume this is due to additional overhead of the OGR driver. My tests were on a layer with ~13000 polygons. One test 'zoomed out', showing most of the layer, the other test 'zoomed in' to just a few polygons.

I think the default pixel size for Markers is 6 and I assumed that it was the same for external symbols. I will update the code so that if size is omitted, the image size is used (I think that even just setting the size to -1 would force the rendering to get the image size before drawing).

Milo, the getExtent() call is not implemented for PostGIS layers and therefore always returns +/-FLT_MAX, which is +/-25000000.

I really appreciate all your help :) I had a quick question about symbolization for SDE layers. I made a sample map file based on my applications existing map file. I update a couple background layers to use our SDE services. Two of three of these layers work well and the third does not draw. This third layer (REGDIV) has a CLASSITEM set and a number of CLASSES defined. There is no error displayed, even with the -map_debug or -all_debug flags set. If I change the layer to use just one default class then the layer draws. I tried updating my CLASSITEM to use a full path, for example DIVID became GIS.DBO.REGDIV.DIVID but I received the following error: C:\ms4w\apps\sdedemo>shp2img -m gp.map -o gp.png msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'REGDIV'.
msSDELayerInitItemInfo(): SDE error. A specified CLASSITEM, FILTERITEM, or expression key cannot be found

The plugins are linked against each specific version of the ArcSDE SDK and have to be matched. The use of plugins makes this less obnoxious than it was in the past, which required swapping out the entire libmap.dll, but it is still some hassle. The rules for ArcSDE MapServer connections are as follows: - If you have to connect to both ArcSDE X.1 and X.2 servers, use the X.2 version of the ArcSDE SDK. You can usually connect to a X.1 version server with X.2 version client DLLs without ill effect. - To connect to X.2 servers, you *have* to use X.2 versions of the ArcSDE SDK. - Do not use both the X.1 and X.2 versions of the plugins in the same MapServer map if you have to connect to both X.1 and X.2 version servers.

Hi Richard, I think you can find a very interesting tutorial here : http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/phpmapscript-byexample Concerning the purpose of php/mapscript, I'm sure that if you need it you will already thought about scripting the use of mapserver. It's definetely very easy to keep using map files without php/mapscript. The php/mapscript is only another way to call your mapfile that let you do more things than the CGI version. This is cool but the CGI version provides you a lot of functionnalities that are easy to use (querying, enabling layers, etc.). In php/mapscript, you can do it but you have to program each type of action in your php application. One solution is to use one of the existing php/mapscript frameworks (like p.mapper, ka-map, etc.). I hope this helps. Didrik -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hello. Is it possible to somehow scale a shapefile? For example when I use ogrinfo to examine a shape file I see that it has an extent of Extent: (33791266.000000, 8769802.000000) - (34589323.000000, 9369802.000000) with a Layer SRS WKT: (unknown) I have been told that they should be epsg:30161 but are out by a factor of 1000. Is there some tool I can use that will scale the shapefile contents? Or is there a way to tell mapserver to divide the extents and coordinates by 1000? I hope this makes sense and is possible to achieve.

Milo, I do not believe you should mix the php_mapscript.dll from MS4W with the mapserver build done for FWTools. FWTools is a "moving target" compiled against the latest and greatest mapserver source at the time it is released. So there is no way to ensure that the php mapscript corresponds with the correct structures, functions and so forth from the FWTools mapserver dlls.

The columns in Josh's table are unicode (SE_NSTRING is the SDE column type). While there is (very) limited support for rendering these unicode columns with labels, there's no support for dealing with them in classification or expressions. The solution is to use non-unicode (SE_STRING) columns for your data, and things will work as before. So, to clarify, unicode support for SDE is available only for rendering labels (and there maybe bugs in that still, I have only gotten it to work in a few instances) in 5.0. If you need the full gamut of MapServer power with SDE layers, do not use unicode columns in ArcSDE 9.2.

Now I have a small problem with labels. We have MapInfo .TAB files, which are converted from AutoCAD drawings (meaning everything is in one layer). When I open one of these files in MapInfo, I can see labels on some places. When I draw the map with MapServer, I see only the (poly)lines. So, I added an extra layer of type Annotation. This, by default, doesn't show me any layers. So I need to add LABELITEM, but I have no idea what layers need to be labeled. Also, this changes with every file that's being drawn. Does anyone know how to tell MapServer to draw labels "The MapInfo" way? My current layer definition: LAYER NAME topo MINSCALE 1 MAXSCALE 3000 STATUS ON Type LINE CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "e:\topo.tab" STYLEITEM "AUTO" Class End #CLASS End #LAYER LAYER NAME topo MINSCALE 1 MAXSCALE 3000 LABELMAXSCALE 50000 STATUS ON Type ANNOTATION CONNECTIONTYPE OGR CONNECTION "e:\topo.tab" CLASS LABEL COLOR 100 0 0 POSITION LR SIZE MEDIUM END #label END #CLASS End #LAYER Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's weird, this should indeed work and was confirmed the other day by Lars-G?ran Edholm on this mailing list. What Mapserver version are working on? This is a shapefile layer, right? Are you sure you've got it right? Notice the quotes around the comma-separated values (no space between the values)! You could also try to do a string comparison which might be necessary if adr_id is not a purely numerical field: FILTER ('[adr_in]' IN '6446,6366,6483') In this case you just quote the field as well.

So it isn't the parsing that takes all the time but the actual match of each shape's attribute value against each value contained in the FILTER. That makes sense and syntax tuning is therefore not an option in this case. I highly doubt though that quadtree-indexing the shapefile is going to help in this case. It's my understanding that shptree, if that's what you mean, generates a spatial index which is useless for attribute matching as in your case. I don't know if there's some other attribute based indexing (dbf indexing, that is). A spatial database however might be worth a try. You'd probably want to have an index on that column and you could just keep applying a FILTER, albeit with a different syntax, for PostGIS for instance FILTER "adr_id IN (6446, 6366, ...)"

You can use that as an alternative to using STYLEITEM AUTO. I looked for this in the docs and could not find any ref to it, so it's possible that this feature was never properly documented.

Perhaps I should try postgis and greate Querys on-the-fly. Perhaps there are other suggestions which may lead to more performance?

Invalid field index!?! > Jelmer, I checked in the code, and it seems that you'd get that error if MapServer tries to read one of the OGR:Label* attributes on a feature that does not have a label definition, or in the case of TAB files, on a MapInfo object that is not a TEXT object. I am realizing just now that this makes it impossible to use OGR:Label* on a .TAB file that has mixed object types. I think it would be possible to make MapServer handle this more gracefully, i.e. returning some default values (text="", angle=0 and size=0) in cases where the object is not of the right type. I created a ticket for this an a future enhancement (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2311). In the meantime you'll have to make sure the files you use for annotation contain only objects of type TEXT.

Hmm, so this means I'll have to detect whether or not a .TAB file has a labels or not? I'm not sure if this would be per item, or per .TAB file / layer? Also, I don't think this detection can be done in MapServer, right? Maybe in MapBasic... Would you happen to have any ideas about that, too?

Julia, I recently added support for accessing VATs through GDAL from Arc/Info binary grid coverages. It was part of a project with FAO where we used mapscript to override the behavior of the WMS GetFeatureInfo in MapServer to report values looked up from the VAT instead of reporting the pixel values directly. So, some of the machinery exists. In particular: o The AIGRID driver in GDAL/OGR trunk (soon to be 1.5) can read the VAT from the info directory. o The GDAL Python/C#/Java/Ruby/Perl scripting interface now includes methods to access the VAT (called a raster attribute table in GDAL) and lookup values. But MapServer does not have any built-in knowledge of the raster attribute tables. There is also no current GDAL utility to reclassify (repopulate) a raster by passing it through the attribute table. If anyone is interested, I'm confident FAO would not mind my publishing the Python script we used to wrap WMS to implement the custom GetFeatureInfo using the VAT/RAT.

I know that the information is available in the header of the .MAP files of TAB datasets, but it's not easily accessible with any tool. Maybe in MapBasic, I don't know. The MITAB library (http://mitab.maptools.org/) has access to that information in the TABMAPHeaderBlock C++ class, but you'd need to write custom C++ code to get it. Well the output of MITAB's "tabdump -a file.tab" dumps the values of these members so you could also use "grep" on that (look for m_numPointObjects, m_numLineObjects, m_numRegionObjects and m_numTextObjects). A simpler option could be to convert the files to MIF and do an automated search using a text editor or some text processing tool... but even that's not that simple. The best of course is to know your data: in that case you'd know which files contain labels and which ones don't. We'll forgive you for not knowing your data if you tell us you're a programmer and not a geographer. ;-) Daniel -- Daniel Morissette http://www.mapgears.com/ From warmerdam at POBOX.COM Thu Sep 13 08:12:19 2007 From: warmerdam at POBOX.COM (Frank Warmerdam) Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 11:12:19 -0400 Subject: Odd query results on Point layer In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Lawrence Hartpence wrote: > Hello, > > I have a point layer which is actually a database with X & Y fields.

The problem is that MapServer depends on being able to pull query results by feature id, but the feature ids provided by the ODBC provider are not consistent and vary depending on the current spatial and attribute filters in place. The solution is to change your VRT definition to identify an integer field in the source features as a unique and consistent feature id. Assuming you have a column in your table called "septic_id" that is integer and unique for all rows, you could change your definition to something like: CONNECTION " ODBC:@Septic tblSewersyAllHistoricInfo wkbPoint septic_id " If this helps, and you are grateful, perhaps you could spend a bit of time digging around in the mapserver web site finding a good place to add this sort of information. If you provide a good location and particular text, you can email me privately and I'll add. I often have trouble finding the right place to put hints such that they will be encountered by users with a problem. Presumably you will have a better perspective on the matter. :-) Good luck, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, warmerdam at pobox.com light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | President OSGeo, http://osgeo.org From David.Fawcett at STATE.MN.US Thu Sep 13 08:17:51 2007 From: David.Fawcett at STATE.MN.US (Fawcett, David) Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 10:17:51 -0500 Subject: FILTER slow In-Reply-To: A<20070913131600.3d33fee3@thoe.hq.intevation.de> Message-ID: Stephan, I think that any time that you make that many comparisons in a filter or expression, it is going to be relatively expensive. PostGIS, with indexes may optimize it a some. I am curious how dynamic your data is. A common optimization concept is to pre-process and pre-classify your data as much as possible, so you need to do as little processing at the time of the request. Since you are hard-coding the address ID's into the filter for your map file, I am guessing that your data isn't too dynamic. Would it be possible for you to add a column to your shapefile to store a 1 or a 0 to indicate whether the feature should be included into your layer. Then, pre-classify your data to populate this column based on the address ID's. Then, your filter could be a simple regex /1/ or /0/. Should run very quickly.

Folks, It is still my opinion that FastCGI can be very helpful for situations where there are very high connection costs to a database. The most obvious examples of this are (I believe) Oracle Spatial and especially SDE. By contrast, disk files, and low connection cost databases like postgres and mysql do not benefit significantly. But I would also advise people to avoid it unless performance is killing them and they believe it is due to high connection costs as FastCGI is pretty darn tricky to setup and may be flakey/buggy.

Ruben, Are you setting the CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER on your SDE layers? Is the performance good, bad or terrible? If you run with debugging enabled for the layer you should hopefully see messages about the connection being reused from the pool if things are working properly.

Giuseppe, this issue might be due to the map's resolution (set in the map file) and the image's resolution not matching. Be aware that Mapserver doesn't write any resolution information to the produced image, and printer drivers usually assume an image is at 96 dpi if nothing else is given. So, if your map is rendered at 72 dpi by Mapserver (which I believe is the default) and gets perhaps printed at 96, you'll get some discrepancy. I'd therefore suggest you try to set your map's resolution to 96 dpi or alternatively print your image at the same resolution set in the map file.

As you can see from the postgresql log, postgresql reports a warning: 'WARNING: 25001: there is already a transaction in progress'. The cause of that, I guess, is that mapserver, in mappostgis.c, sends (another) 'BEGIN'. During the first call it also sent a BEGIN. In mappostgis.c there is a check on the outcome of the BEGIN (if(!result || PQresultStatus (result) != PGRES_COMMAND_OK) { ) and I guess that it won't be OK because of the warning. Digging around in the postgresql.conf file gave me an idea of changing the '#client_min_messages = notice' to 'client_min_messages = error'. As I understand that means that postgresql won't report warnings back to the client, mappostgis, and thus the test won't fail. I haven't got any 'Segmentation faults' from the application when running it as a static server since my change so I guess I'm on the right track. I wonder why mapserver sends repeating BEGINs and no ENDs. I can't find any code for sending an END. Normally, no fastcgi with persistant connections, it won't matter since I guess that a closed connection also means 'END'. /Regards Bengt -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Frank Warmerdam Sent: den 13 september 2007 14:48 To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Segmentation fault - mapserver - postgis Bengt Nilsson wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to run mapserver as a static fastcgi (WMS)application but > gets Segmenttaion fault every second time I request a map from the > server.

This should certainly be filed as a bug report and I'd appreciate being added in the cc: list. Likely it should be primarily assigned to whoever owns the postgis component. I classify this as loosely a fastcgi problem since it is a problem that would only come out in fastcgi use (or perhaps long running mapscript applications).

My mapfile contains wms layers dynamically set by the client. So I don't have control over the server that is used.

My setup is an Openlayers client talking directly to mapserver in tiled WMS mode. My map data is a polygon coverage, being rendered as a single-pixel wide line. I noticed in several places, where the edge of a polygon was nearly parallel to and crossed the edge of the map tile, it is possible for a piece of the line to be missing. Ie. the tile on one side rendered the first 1/3 of the line, the tile on the other side rendered the last 1/3 of the line, but the 1/3 of the line in the middle went un-drawn by either tile. I see that someone else has already documented something closely related to this issue: http://crschmidt.net/blog/archives/154/mapserver-rendering-bug/ And that it has already been solved in tilecache by adding a buffer around the meta-tiles during rendering - but I don't think that solution will help with the single-pixel-wide line. Meta-tiling and/or increasing the size of the tiles would reduce the likelihood of this happening, but I don't think they could prevent it. Rendering oversize tiles/meta-tiles and cropping them wouldn't have any effect, unless you were using anti-aliasing, in which case the problem might be reduced to the line getting more faint as it crossed the edge, but still I don't think that the line would be properly rendered. Without looking at the code, I suspect the heart of the problem is two-fold, (1) the clipper is rounding to the nearest pixel (possibly differently for each tile) and (2) the line rasterizer cannot and will not draw exactly the same pixels for lines that are clipped as it would for drawing the whole line (especially if they are clipped differently in each tile). I suppose this might be considered a minor issue because of how rarely one would expect to have their lines be nearly parallel to and cross the tile boundaries, but I've actually seen that it can happen on just about any line that crosses a tile boundary at an acute angle. It seems to me that the only solution is to not clip lines on the edge of the image, and instead keep the entire line to the next point (but not the entire linestring or polygon). This obviously has an impact (probably minor) on performance, so perhaps it should be an option to turn it on/off. Perhaps I'm completely off-base here, and maybe no-one cares how good non-anti-aliased, single-pixel-wide lines look. But the solution seems simple enough that it might be worth implementing.

It would prevent it, because the problem only presents itself at tile edges -- and the data from MapServer no longer *has* any visible tile edges in a meta-tiled TileCache instance. To see similar behavior to TileCache metatiling, set the 'gutter' option on your WMS layer to '15' or something similar (see http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/gutter.html) and I bet you'd see the problem disappear. > Rendering oversize tiles/meta-tiles > and cropping them wouldn't have any effect, unless you were using > anti-aliasing, in which case the problem might be reduced to the line > getting more faint as it crossed the edge, but still I don't think that > the line would be properly rendered. If you're not convinced, try the gutter option.

Can't remember which. Anyway, MapServer itself doesn't clip features at the edge of the image. Instead it applies a buffer to the clipping rectangle based on the largest symbol being used, so partial features are still visible as the line heads off the edge of the map. I don't think clipping is the cause of the artifacts you are seeing. What I'm not sure about and will have to check the code is whether that same buffered extent is used as the selection extent so you capture features just off screen that could possibly be seen if rendered with a large enough symbol. The code in question is in mapdraw.c. Do you have some samples and sample data? If you file a bug I'd be happy to take a look.

In your example, I can still see the problem even with the gutter turned on. It is almost gone, but there is a still a small defect in the rendering at the edge. It is masked by the anti-aliasing and thickness of your lines. In my case, with no anti-aliasing and single-pixel lines, it is far more visible ... or rather, completely invisible when it shouldn't be. My understanding of how lines are rasterized still says to me that it is impossible to get pixel-perfect seemlessness unless the renderer on either side of the tile boundary is rendering the exact same line. If you make the "gutter" big enough, it will help to make this the case, but if your lines are too long the gutter solution still won't work. > If you're not convinced, try the gutter option. If that doesn't fix it, > you'd be right -- but I bet it will. Hmm, I tried it, I'm using mapserver 4.8.4, and it didn't help at all. I even tried making it really big, to the point that I really did expect it to help, and it still didn't so I'm not convinced either way yet. You can have a look at the problem here, with the gutter set to 100: http://draum.refractions.net/gisi/test.html Notice the missing border between the Metchosin and Malahat polygons, if you zoom in far enough it will draw it. Looking forward to your feedback.

I need to distribute it on cd-rom (or usb support), but the distributed version has to be fully dynamically working, i.e. map panning and zooming, queries, pop-up windows and all. I am working in Windows XP enviroment. I think I need then a portable version of Apache, PHP, MySQL (as I am using it as database) and of course mapserver. I found different portable AMP environments ( http://pampa.phpsoft.it/#features or http://www.uni-d.net/index.php?s=proj&id=3#1.1.0), but nothing with already mapserver. Is it already existing a "portable version" of ms4w? Is it necessary to modify some of the existing AMP packages? and in case are the instructions existing somewhere? I would like to avoid to have to compile mapserver from scratch, but maybe is it possible to use part of the ms4w package and to "mix" it with the existing AMP package ... Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions. Laura -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Everything works as planned except the zoom level. What I'm attempting to do is: where it says Zoompoint on the form, I'll enter in the level it should be zoomed in or out (e.g. 1, 2, 3, -1, etc.), and then it should either zoom in or out according to the integer entered in the form. I've looked at the API of course. Under the mapObj Class I see zoompoint, zoomrectangle, and zoomscale. I've selected zoompoint, being as I just simply want to take the center point of the generated image and zoom in or out while focused on that point. The pointObj is defined toward the top of index3.php. I have a current rectObj extent set also. I will be receiving an extent in Latitude and Longitude projection. That projection will have to get converted to a UTM projection. Otherwise, the image that I want to display on the US map won't show. I achieved this via a world file which uses UTM projection. Keep in mind that before I attempted to add the zooming capability, everything worked and still does (except the zoom of course). I enter in different values on the form, but the generated pic never changes. What exactly am I doing wrong here? My .php file with the form - Larrandy.php Mapserver "University of Illinois"

Daniel, I'm a bit embarrassed, but I just found out that most items I want to show are not labels, but simply text objects. I've figured out that I need to set the layer type to point (which is a bit dirty, since I need to define each layer twice -- once as line and once as point. Are there no other solutions?). However, this produces a... hmmm... screwed up image. I hosted it at: http://www.coconline.nl/mapserv.gif - wrong http://www.coconline.nl/mapserv.png - good As you can see, it only occurs when I use GIF as an output format. I was using MapServer 4.8.3, just tried 5.0.0 beta4, same effect. The bad thing is that I use a little trick to provide the things you see as an overlay. As in, I have the normal map and on top of that I present measurements and the so called "as built" and "topo" drawings... I need GIF for this since that bloody IE thing can't handle transparent PNG properly. Any suggestions? I assume this is a bug in one of the libraries MapServer uses, and I'd be happy to assist tracking it down.

I don't know if it is only my experence. Please, try to print a Map after setting the scale to a normalized value as for example 1/1000, now on your paper try to measure a distance by using a line: the number of n millimeters should correspond to n meters, but the line will measure a different number of millimeters. Is that your experience too ? is there anybody who can explain me this item, and is there solution in order to have a phisical millimeter on the paper when I set the scale to 1/1000 ? Another issue: how can I get the meter (graphical) line under the main map to have normalized values as factor of 10 ie 10,10... 100 meters etc ?

I figured out my last question. Apparently, I needed to have a zoomscale instead of a zoompoint. What I also discovered is that zoomscale needed to be set right before I said map->draw. If I copied and pasted $map->zoomscale($zoomscale, $centerpoint, $mapwidth, $mapheight, $utmextent); to where I originally had it (right under where I say $map->setSize()), then the zoomscale won't work. But, if I move it to where I said earlier, it works. Where I originally had the line was after I had $zoomscale, $centerpoint, $mapwidth, $mapheight, and $utmextent declared and set to something - so why that is I don't know. If someone knows that would be great help. I'm just curious that's all. Also, what's the point of map->zoompoint()? From my understanding of the Mapscript API, you could pick a point on the image according to 0, 0 (being the x, y coordinates from the upper left corner), give it the image width and height and the current extent along with an integer representing zoom level and BAM - there you go. But, nothing happened when I kept giving a different value of zoom level (1, -1, 2, -10, etc.). If I comment out the zoompoint too, it doesn't change a thing. I assume I misinterpreted something?

URL: From dmorissette at MAPGEARS.COM Mon Sep 17 13:23:56 2007 From: dmorissette at MAPGEARS.COM (Daniel Morissette) Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2007 16:23:56 -0400 Subject: MapServer 5.0.0 released! Message-ID: The MapServer team is proud to announce the release of MapServer 5.0! Perhaps the most important new feature in this release is support for map rendering using the Anti-grain Geometry (AGG) graphics library (www.antigrain.com). AGG brings high quality 2-D rendering capabilities to MapServer that will allow users to create maps with vastly improved cartographic quality. Equally important is that using AGG results in a minimal reduction in performance. All symbology supported by the default GD (www.libgd.org) graphics library are also supported using AGG. We are excited about the future possibilities of bringing high-end cartography to on-demand web mapping. This new version also includes dozens of small bug fixes, enhancements and performance improvements. Among the new features are: style and label attribute attribute binding; lookup table-based raster color correction; dynamic charting (pie and bar); explicit label prioritizing; enhanced debugging and logging; dynamic allocation for layers, classes, styles and symbols; improved memory management and garbage collection for MapScript; numerous improvements to OGC specification support, and lots more. A list of RFCs related to this release is included at the end of this message. The source code release is available at the usual location on the MapServer site: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current This page also contains links to binary distributions that will hopefully be updated with 5.0 binaries shortly. Users of 4.10 and older should review the 5.0 migration guide which documents the changes that must be made to your application when upgrading from MapServer 4.10 to 5.0: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current/MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT/ Finally, here is a summary of MapServer 5.0 feature/enhancement with the related RFCs. For more details on a specific item, please refer to the corresponding RFC document at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc New features: ------------ - MS RFC 19: Added Style and Label attribute binding - MS RFC 21: Raster Color Correction via color lookup table - MS RFC 27: Added label priority - MS RFC 29: Added dynamic charting (pie and bar charts) - MS RFC 31: New mechanism to load/set objects via URL using mapfile syntax - MS RFC 32: Added support for map rendering using the AGG library for better output quality Long time issues resolved: ------------------------- - MS RFC 17: Use dynamic allocation for symbols, layers, classes and styles (got rid of the static limit on the number of instances of each in a map) - MS RFC 24: Improved memory management and garbage collection for MapScript - MS RFC 26: Terminology cleanup (layer transparency renamed to opacity, scale becomes scaledenom, symbol style becomes symbol pattern) - MS RFC 28: Enhanced the debug/logging mechanism to facilitate troubleshooting and tuning applications. Added support for multiple debug levels and more control on output location.

Message-ID: Firstly, thanks for all of the excellent work on MapServer! The availability of a quality package to the community is something not to be taken lightly. One question I have about this final release is in direct response to your statement, "Equally important is that using AGG results in a minimal reduction in performance.". I guess I'm really wondering how you are quantifying that? My hope is that this final release of 5.0.0 has additional performance updates for using AGG. I've struggled with some performance issues on our current MapServer and finally had to move back to using GD because of the performance difference. I had a layer that rendered in about 14 secs via AGG but then only 3 secs via GD. This really ended up being the deal breaker for using AGG. I'll be looking over the 5.0 migration guide to see if there are some tips there that will help with performance. I'd love to be able to go back to using AGG as I prefer the quality of the maps. ---- Timothy J Nolte - tnolte at ilpcs.com Associate Network Planning Engineer iPCS Wireless, Inc. 4717 Broadmoor Ave, Suite G Kentwood, MI 49512 Office: 616-656-5163 PCS: 616-706-2438 Fax: 616-554-6484 Web: www.ipcswirelessinc.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Without a classification Mapserver was pulling the colors from the GRASS color table quite nicely, but as soon as I set up the CLASSes and got a suitable legend my map images were hosed with nonsense colors. I expected to be able to say EXPRESSION "1" for GRASS CAT=1. I got some semblance of the underlying data to appear by specifying PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO", but no other tweaks of EXPRESSIONS or using [red], [green], and [blue] instead of [pixel] or adjusting PROCESSING "SCALE= . . ." to reflect vaues indicated by gdalinfo or r.info (not the same) got me any closer. Specifically I am working with the 2006 Cropland Data Layer (CDL) from USDA NASS imported to GRASS with r.in.gdal. I am running FWTools-1.3.6. For now it seems like I'll have to have two LAYERs, one for the map and one for the legend. Can anyone offer any insight on this? What would it take to get Mapserver/GDAL to read GRASS categories and labels (assuming it doesn't already and I'm simply ignorant)? We might be interested in sponsoring such work under the right circumstances -- anyone else? Thanks. See you at FOSS4G2007. Neil Neil Best Project Analyst Lanworth, Inc.

AGG looks so great because of the superb antialiasing. The drawback of antialiasing is that it affects filesize due to the additional colors and shadings it uses. You could try to play with the quantization settings as explained here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/agg-rendering-specifics By reducing the number of colors in the image, you should be able to get smaller files. > 2. There are artefacts on the map (some pixels are drawn in some > irrelevant places) I personally didn't notice anything like that in my maps, but if yours do indeed show noticeable artifacts I'd suggest filing a bug report with a testcase.

I have recently installed ms4w 2.2.6 beta which include MS 5.0 RC2. The reason for this was to test the new AGG rendering engine when using Mapserver as a WMS server, with only high resolution (RGB) rasters as the data source. Most WMS servers around (both free and commercial) uses nearest neighbor interpolation on the resulting image that is transfered to the client. In situations where the source data is only hires rasters or imagery (as in my case), the quality of the output would be much better if you could apply an bilinear interpolation to the produced image (see the attached images for an example). Because in most cases the pixels in the source data and the pixels on the screen do not match up, even if I have produces pyramids on the source data (using gdal gdaladdo with the average option sett). The only WMS servers that has the ability to interpolate the resulting image with bilinear interpolation (that I have discovered) is the ESRI ArcIMS ArcMap image service and the ESRI ArcGIS Server. I kind of hoped that the new AGG rendering back-end would give an option to set the interpolation method used in the output, but I see no difference when using AGG instead of GD.

Thomas or others who worked on AGG support can correct me if I'm wrong. Back to P?l's question, if I understood correctly, you're looking for a way to do bilinear resampling. This has been supported since MapServer 4.8, see RFC-4 for the details: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-4 Note that bilinear resampling was not working for AGG output in 5.0.0-rc2 and this was fixed in the 5.0.0 release (that's one of the two fixes that were made after RC2.) ... you'll have to wait for a new MS4W with the release version of MapServer 5.0.0 to test this with AGG, but you can already test it with GD with RC2.

Daniel, If you use the static makefiles that come with AGG, then you need to add this. I think it is listed in the trac ticket on building AGG. It is not an issue for MapServer which automatically discovers if it needs to add -fPIC in configure.

In-Reply-To: <200709180327.l8I3RTI5020882@sprint3.tenix.com> Message-ID: Nelson, I assume that you are trying to use MapServer as a WMS or WFS server. If you haven't seen this HowTo, check it out: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server It gives you an example map file and tells you what metadata is required. Part of serving a WMS/WFS is that people who want to use your data service need to know what projection it is in. To do this, they send a GetCapabilities request and are returned a document that describes your service. Projection information is needed for the GetCapabilities. The first step is to determine/understand what spatial reference system (projection) your data is in. Once you know that, you can add projection blocks to your map file. For your situation, it sounds like the input projection for your data is the same as the output projection of your map. In other words, you are keeping it in the same projection. In this case, you just need to put the same projection blocks at in the MAP object and the LAYER object of your map file. If your data was in UTM Zone15, NAD83, you could use a block like this: PROJECTION "init=epsg:26915" END David. -----Original Message----- From: LITTLE Nelson [mailto:nelson.little at tenix.com] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 10:27 PM To: Fawcett, David; MAPSERVER-USERS at lists.umn.edu Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Which Projection to use?

It's my understanding that AGG works only that way, i.e. subpixel-rendering = always antialiased. I can see however how being able to individually select some layers to be drawn the old way (GD) would be a nice addition. I guess that's asking too much, though. Anyhow, I'm not so sure that simply getting rid of GD's RGB rendering in a future relase as suggested in the migration guide is a good idea, seeing that some users, especially those facing performance issues, might want to keep drawing non-antialiased maps.

I really appreciate the quick response. Would it be an idea to add the information provided in the MS RFC 4 to the raster how to document? It is mentioned in the RFC that the documentation should be updated with the new processing functionality provided. Is far as I can see this is not the case, many other processing options is described in the raster how to, but not the resample option. At the moment the information on how to resample the output is quite hard to find (especially for a Mapserver noob like me :-) ). The result of using an other resample method than nearest neighbor is dramatically increasing output quality in some cases when dealing with rasters. I think it would be nice to add this to the raster how to, so that others don't have to dig into the development section of the site to find it. Anyway, thanks again for the help!

This info is targeted on mailinglist-members who master the Dutch language. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEMINAR (techniek): OpenSource in de GEO-ICT (16 oktober) Gaarne wil ik uw aandacht vestigen op twee seminars rondom het onderwerp "Open source in het geodomein" die in de tweede helft van 2007 worden georganiseerd door respectievelijk het werkprogramma OSOSS en het GIN. Allereerst zal er op 16 oktober aanstaande een OSOSS-seminar plaatsvinden in Utrecht met als onderwerp "Open source in de Geo-ICT". Dit seminar heeft een duidelijk technische insteek. Een aantal deskundigen zal hier middels parallelsessies dieper ingaan op de beschikbare open source componenten in het geodomein zoals Postgis, Mapserver, Geoserver en Geonetwork. Ook zal een aantal projecten de revue passeren waarin dergelijke open source software in de praktijk is ge?valueerd. Hieronder de link naar de pagina met meer informatie. U kunt zich daar ook online inschrijven. Mocht u willen komen schrijf dan zo spoedig mogelijk in aangezien we op tijd moeten weten hoeveel personen er komen. http://www.mediaplaza.nl/mp.php/mediaplaza/agenda/agenda.php?id=276 SEMINAR (beleid): OpenSource in de GEO-ICT (23 november) Daarnaast wordt er op 23 november tijdens het GIN-congres een tweede seminar georganiseerd door de GIN-sectie Vastgoed- en Geo-Informatie. In dit seminar staat de techniek minder centraal, waardoor dit seminar ook geschikt is voor de niet-techneuten onder ons die gewoon meer willen weten over de relevantie en status van de huidige open source softwarecomponenten in relatie tot de huidige beleidspraktijk. De nadruk zal hier liggen op de inzet van open source bij lokale en regionale overheden en de diverse aspecten die hierbij een rol spelen. Het programma hiervoor moet nog definitief worden gemaakt. Heeft u vragen? Schroom dan niet deze aan ondergetekende te stellen.

Message-ID: Hi, first of all: mapserver 5 rocks. THX. I have one question: I found in the history.txt that the "modulus" operator is supported by expressions. Now I am uncertain what is meant: - "modulus" the absolute value of a number without a sign or - "modulo" the rest of an integer division, usually expressed with the operator "%" When i looked in mapparser.y i found this line: 345: math_exp '%' math_exp { $$ = (int)$1 * (int)$3; } This looks like the modulo operator is defined, but the calculation is not modulo. Can someone shed some light on this? I am trying to classify isolines with the expression ([iso-value] % 10) and it should draw all iso lines that are dividable by 10 without a rest, e.g. for giving them a thicker line width. But it nevertheless draws all lines.

There is also notes on this in the MIGRATION_GUIDE.txt in the MapServer source. However I also had a difficult time getting all of my CGI viewers to work with these changes. I've attached one of my simple CGI viewers that now works with 5.0, so you can follow that. For sure one thing changed is that the variables "map_web_imageurl" and "map_web_imagepath" have been replaced with "map_web" (see my example).

Michael, indeed, that isn't modulo nor is it modulus, that's a multiplication of two truncated values (hence the (int) typecast). And http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/changeset/5151 confirms that line in mapparser.y is the actual implementation of what was called "modulus operator" in HISTORY.TXT. I'd file a bug report about this, since at least it isn't clear what is meant with "modulus" in this instance. If you need the actual modulo operator, I'd suggest changing that line to math_exp '%' math_exp { $$ = (int)$1 % (int)$3; } and regenerating the parser with yacc -p msyy -d -omapparser.c mapparser.y.

I was disappointed in the lack of help with my compile issue, but considering what I pay you all, I can't reasonably complain. :) The excellent news is that we got MS5+AGG working, and boy are we impressed. Between "minfeaturesize auto" and the new line rendering, it's like a whole new app, smooth order from jagged chaos. Anyway, I wanted to share how I built AGG so that it compiled smoothly into Mapserver, since the procedure described in ticket 2215 just wasn't producing anything that would like. This is for Slamd64 (64-bit SLackware), but aside from the prerequisite packages it should work for other Linux-based OSs as well if you're not fortunate enough to have AGG available as a package. For 64-bit, these are a good general rule and don't hurt; export CPPFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" export CXXFLAGS="-fPIC -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" export CFLAGS="-fPIC -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" To get AGG running smoothly, one must have SDL installed. On Slack, this means having the X11 base installed as well. l/sdl-1.2.11-*.tgz x/x11-6.9.0-*.tgz For 64-bit, also the X11 32-bit compat: c/32x11-6.9.0-x86_64-2.tgz Apply this patch to the source (watch the linewrap!) using "patch -b -p1 < this.patch" diff -ru agg-2.5.orig/font_freetype/Makefile.am agg-2.5/font_freetype/Makefile.am --- agg-2.5.orig/font_freetype/Makefile.am 2005-10-18 11:45:40.000000000 +0100 +++ agg-2.5/font_freetype/Makefile.am 2006-07-10 15:11:55.000000000 +0100 @@ -4,8 +4,9 @@ agginclude_HEADERS = agg_font_freetype.h lib_LTLIBRARIES = libaggfontfreetype.la -libaggfontfreetype_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info @AGG_LIB_VERSION@ @FREETYPE_LIBS@ +libaggfontfreetype_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info @AGG_LIB_VERSION@ @FREETYPE_LIBS@ libaggfontfreetype_la_SOURCES = agg_font_freetype.cpp libaggfontfreetype_la_CXXFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/include @FREETYPE_CFLAGS@ +libaggfontfreetype_la_LIBADD = ../src/libagg.la endif diff -ru agg-2.5.orig/src/platform/sdl/Makefile.am agg-2.5/src/platform/sdl/Makefile.am --- agg-2.5.orig/src/platform/sdl/Makefile.am 2005-10-17 23:49:35.000000000 +0100 +++ agg-2.5/src/platform/sdl/Makefile.am 2006-07-10 15:11:55.000000000 +0100 @@ -5,6 +5,6 @@ libaggplatformsdl_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info @AGG_LIB_VERSION@ libaggplatformsdl_la_SOURCES = agg_platform_support.cpp libaggplatformsdl_la_CXXFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/include @SDL_CFLAGS@ -libaggplatformsdl_la_LIBADD = @SDL_LIBS@ +libaggplatformsdl_la_LIBADD = @SDL_LIBS@ ../../libagg.la endif diff -ru agg-2.5.orig/src/platform/X11/Makefile.am agg-2.5/src/platform/X11/Makefile.am --- agg-2.5.orig/src/platform/X11/Makefile.am 2005-10-19 19:11:35.000000000 +0100 +++ agg-2.5/src/platform/X11/Makefile.am 2006-07-10 15:11:55.000000000 +0100 @@ -4,5 +4,5 @@ libaggplatformX11_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info @AGG_LIB_VERSION@ -L at x_libraries@ libaggplatformX11_la_SOURCES = agg_platform_support.cpp libaggplatformX11_la_CXXFLAGS = -I$(top_srcdir)/include @x_includes@ -libaggplatformX11_la_LIBADD = -lX11 +libaggplatformX11_la_LIBADD = -lX11 ../../libagg.la endif Then a simple make and install: sh ./autogen.sh --disable-gpc make make install Hopefully, this will save other Slackers a few hours. -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth System Administrator, HostGIS cartographic development & hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ "Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore." - AMANDA From frodewj at GMAIL.COM Wed Sep 19 11:11:49 2007 From: frodewj at GMAIL.COM (=?UTF-8?Q?Frode_Wiseth_J=C3=B8rgensen?=) Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 11:11:49 -0700 Subject: Legend problem in MapServer 5.0 Message-ID: Hey!

In-Reply-To: <46EFEA7F.3040605@territoriumonline.com> Message-ID: Andreas is correct, with AGG it's anti-aliasing all the time. Our implementation uses GD as the canvas for AGG to render into so rendering different layers with different drivers is not that far fetched, but is not available currently. Keep in mind that I think we will see some performance improvements. Thomas tried one right before the 5.0 release with good success. It was just too late in the development cycle to commit those changes without testing. If we can achieve approximately equal performance then I think letting GD do what it's good at makes sense. That may mean allowing 24-bit output but losing AA support for GD (which pales in comparison to AGG). Time will tell.

In both cases in QGIS the layer works and fits well with other projections, and projection was defined for given layer as well. -> The test with Google Earth finally went well, after I escaped some characters in map file path.

Up to some days ago I did some mapserver configs only for web map. I had ideas to configure it as WMS service, but was a bit worried, because the description seemed for me that there is a lot of configuration and will I can handle it. But well - it was not so difficult as I seems. ;-) But finally I faced with some problems: -> I could not it (WMS service layer) into ArMap9.1 or better say - I -> can to add them, but it is blank -> It works well in QGIS, but if I tested the same *.map file for browse mode in browser, than if I put map projection in source shape file native projection EPSG:2100, than I can see the layer in browser, but if I put map projection in WGS84, than I can see only blank image in browser. In both cases in QGIS the layer works and fits well with other projections, and projection was defined for given layer as well. -> The test with Google Earth finally went well, after I escaped some characters in map file path. Does somebody have an idea how to get my map service into ArcMap and is it correct way if my map is blank in browse mode?

Thanks. Neil, Are you wanting to use postgis as a tileindex for a raster or a vector layer? I only have experience doing this for raster layers, but it might also work for vector layers. Generally if you want to use postgis for a tileindex, you need to create a seperate tileindex layer and then reference that layer by name in the TILEINDEX keyword of the tiled layer.

Gregor was quite right to wonder what the advantage of tileindexing vector layers if PostGIS is being used properly. >Generally if you want to use postgis for a tileindex, you need to create >a seperate tileindex layer and then reference that layer by name in the >TILEINDEX keyword of the tiled layer. It worked like a charm! (Except now something is wrong with my legends . . . gremlins!) I never would have thought of referring to a layer from another layer and I don't recall mention of it in my scouring of the docs. Are there other applications/examples of this technique? I have some ideas about how to use this table as a unified raster catalog. As I understand it a TILEINDEX must be in the same projection as the rasters to which it refers. I am imagining that I can still use this table for a heterogeneous collection (e.g. NAIPs are in UTM zones) because I can set up views that provide the tile geometry in the proper SRS while still maintaining a geometry column in our default SRS*. Furthermore this will allow me to define a cross-section of the collection using SQL which will be useful in accessing rasters along the time dimension and any other way based on the path/file or any additional attributes. This table will serve an additional purpose in keeping track of automated, near-real-time data ingests. Frank, maybe your experiences have taken you in similar directions. I presume that you will be in Victoria next week -- maybe I could corner you to discuss this further. Thanks for the tip; this will be very useful.

My guess is that you have an older copy of libeay32.dll in your C:\windows\system32 directory and this is overriding the one provided by FWTools. You could try copying the FWTools libeay32.dll over the one in \windows\system32 but you run a non-trivial risk of breaking some other application that depends on the old version in some funky way. So if you do that,I'd encourage you to first rename the old one, so you can get it back if you need to. It is a curse on me that I can't seem to force FWTools executables to use my own DLLs in preference to ones in C:\windows\system32.

Alternatively, you may be able to simply set your map file at the beginning, then write to it via PHP (maybe you would have one file that contained stock symbols, then create your symbol file by copying the stock symbol files, and appending the dynamically generated ones). Good luck! If you create any code snippets, I would be interested in seeing them. r.b. Robert W.

You need to copy userDefineLang.xml to %APPDATA%\Notepad++, which on your system is probably something to the effect of C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Notepad++. It also helps to change the ext-attribute in line 2 of userDefineLang.xml to ext="map", assuming you use .map as an extension for your map files. And no, MapServer 5 doesn't use XML for map files yet.

I may need to generate my own raster tileindexes myself soon, and based on what I've read about gdaltindex, it should be fairly easy to do. If I've understood everything correctly, all you have to do, is generate a shapefile with rectangles that has the same coordinates as the boundaries of each raster file.

My initial tests were successful, and it turned out to be very easy to create a tileindex for rasterimages. It's basically exactly the same as a tileindex for shapefiles. I need to clean it up a bit, and make it possible to choose outputfilename, but for now, here's a simple example: --8<-- #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Geo::Shapelib ':constants'; my $tileindex = Geo::Shapelib->new(); $tileindex->{Shapetype} = POLYGON; $tileindex->{FieldNames} = ["Location"]; $tileindex->{FieldTypes} = ["String:255"]; for my $filename (@ARGV) { my ($xmin, $ymin, $xmax, $ymax) = get_coordinates($filename); push @{$tileindex->{Shapes}}, { SHPType => POLYGON, Vertices => [[$xmin, $ymin], [$xmax, $ymin], [$xmax, $ymax], [$xmin, $ymax], [$xmin, $ymin]] }; push @{$tileindex->{ShapeRecords}}, [$filename]; } $tileindex->save('tileindex'); sub get_coordinates { my $filename = shift; my ($bbox) = $filename =~ /ec_world_(.*)\.png/; return split "," => $bbox; } __END__ --8<-- This program will take a list of files as arguments, and create a tileindex, which is saved as tileindex.* in the current directory. The subroutine get_coordinates() figures out what xmin, xmax, ymin and ymax is for the current rasterimage. In my case, the bbox is embedded in the filename, but you might have to read a worldfile or do something else for your images. Speaking of worldfiles. The tileindex only tells mapserver which files to load for a given view. Mapserver still need the worldfiles to figure out where and how each of the pictures it opens should be positioned. Anyway - just like with a tileindex for shapefiles, mapserver interprets the "Location" value as relative to shapepath if you use relative paths. So I think it's better to use absolute paths when you run the program. To use this tileindex in a mapfile, you just include something like this: LAYER NAME "tiled_raster" STATUS ON TILEINDEX "tileindex" TILEITEM "Location" TYPE RASTER END -- Trond Michelsen From Tim.Nolte at IPCSWIRELESSINC.COM Wed Sep 26 06:22:58 2007 From: Tim.Nolte at IPCSWIRELESSINC.COM (Nolte, Tim) Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 09:22:58 -0400 Subject: MapServer 5.0.0 released!

Really Confused In-Reply-To: A Message-ID: Chris - Let me suggest you try to get unconfused just one step at a time! "it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it." That's a bit of a contradiction. A world file is one way of providing georeferencing. If you've got an image "attached" to the Earth via a world file, you've georeferenced it. MapServer makes maps, not pictures. One of the chief differences is that a map has geographic location information associated with it. When you ask MapServer to generate a map for you, you need to tell it the location of the map you want in some coordinate system. In order for MapServer to know which of your GIF images to use in making the output map, it needs to know the geographic location of each of those images. Otherwise it couldn't figure out which ones to use. A TILEINDEX is step two in the process. Once you have a set of more than 1 properly georeferenced images that you'd like to use like a single logical image, you can create a TILEINDEX to do that. But you have to completely and correctly make it through step one first. Once you get the individual images properly georeferenced, gdaltindex will just work. So - what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you'll need to get that information for your big image. If you do have that world file and know how the tiles were created, let us know (you can post the world file in your reply - it's just six lines of text). - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 10:02 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

I know that a world file provides georeferencing. I meant to say that I had a .gif that had no georeferencing info associated with it, and then added one. From there I got my initial app to work (displaying the big map). One thing I omitted was that the little .gifs (tiles), when assembled, make up a different big map pic then the one where mentioned : ?it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it."Before I had a pic of a large section of a college campus. Now I have a pic of the entire campus, but in little tiles. I know Mapserver makes maps and not pics too. I probably just worded something wrong. "So ? what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you?ll need to get that information for your big image." Yes, I have a world file, but it's for the pic that shows a large section of the campus - not for the big pic that is the sum of the little pics. Ok, so then I have to have a world file for every little tile, but before that I need to correctly set up the world file for the big pic, which I guess I'll need to assemble in Photoshop. Does that sound right? I can do it, it's just a bit tedious lining up the tiles and such. Also, how do you correctly align a pic of some map on the globe. I've been using Google Maps to do it. I'll sit there and study where the pic's corners should approximately be, then get the lat/lon from that (clicking directions to or from will yield the lat/lons).

Really Confused In-Reply-To: A Message-ID: Chris - OK - it's not as bad as all that - don't fire up Photoshop yet. If you have a set of tiles which together create a seamless large image, and those tiles are of a regular size and shape, don't bother pasting them together. Each world file has six numbers in it, two of which will be 0. For each image tile you need a world file that contains the X/Y coordinates of the upper left pixel of the image (two numbers), and the dimension (size) of each pixel in X (one number) and Y (one number) units. In the vast majority of cases the last two numbers will be identical except for sign (the Y value is normally a negative number since Y values decrease as you go from the top to the bottom of the image). If your images make a rectangle when pasted together, just treat them as one. Find the X/Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the entire image area, and the X/Y coordinates of the lower right corner of the entire image area. Find the size of the entire mosaiced rectangle in X and Y pixels. The X pixel dimension will be (maxx - minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny - maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number. For all your world files, these two X and Y extent values (the first and fourth lines) will be constants. The last two lines are the upper left X and Y coordinates of each tile. Your tiles will all have the same Y value across each row, and the same X value down each column. You know what the upper-left corner of the upper-left tile is, because you measured it. You know the number of X pixels in each tile and the number of Y pixels in each tile, and you now know the size in X and Y units of each pixel, so you know the extent of each image tile in X and Y units, so you can calculate the upper-left corner coordinate of the image to the right and the image below. Repeat until complete. All your measurements need to be done in the units of the image's coordinate system. Is this the image you were asking about earlier that's in UTM projection? If so, you need UTM coordinates, NOT lat/lon. I wouldn't recommend Google Earth as a very accurate way to do that, but if it's close enough for you and easy that's OK. If you can easily find the corners of your image area on a topo map you can do it on TopoZone and get UTM coordinates accurate to within a few meters just by clicking on the spots that match the corner points of your image. If there isn't an obvious landmark at the corner, you can pick a prominent location NEAR the corner and just measure the number of pixels away from the corner it is. It's just a bit more bookkeeping but does the same thing. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11:15 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

Really Confused In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Chris - (I added the list back to the reply line - please always reply to the whole list - thanks) A world file is in the units of the image's projection, not the other way around. Having a world file does not mean the image is in UTM projection. The UTM projection is a popular one, but it's certainly not the only one. For a map in Illinois UTM is certainly a possibility, but an Illinois State Plane Coordinate System projection is also a possibility - especially if the original imagery came from the State of Illinois. And geographic lat/lon coordinates are also a possibility due to the increasing number of people in the world who seem to think the Earth is flat (at least on the Web). I don't know which campus you're using, but if you're at UIUC then the UTM coordinates will be in UTM Zone 16 with values of around 395000 (X or Easting) 4440000 (Y or Northing). If your numbers don't look like those, they're not UTM. Oh, sorry - I started answering before reading all the questions, and you later seem to confirm that your coordinates are indeed UTM. But you got the formulas backwards, and X should be positive while Y should be negative- not the other way around. And the measurements in your world file are indeed in meters, but that's because those are the native units of the UTM projection being used. There's nothing that requires them to be in meters; many US state plane coordinate systems use units of feet, and those would appear in the world file, too. Now it is highly unlikely that your pixel resolution is different in each dimension. You could average those two numbers, or double-check your coordinate values (you didn't say what source you used to get them). If you got this image from a GIS source, I would say that if you think the dimensions are different you're wrong, but who knows what the University did to munge the image into a pretty picture. So maybe the dimensions ARE different; that's not impossible, just odd. I still would double-check your measurements and math, but if you get the same answer that's OK. Once you do that you just have to crank out those world files! - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: Christopher Harris [mailto:docterrobert at msn.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 1:13 PM To: Ed McNierney Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Wow. Thanks Ed. You went to a lot of trouble. Most of this stuff you've explained I have a handle on. I wikipedia'd how to make a world file when I did that previous app. And yes, it's the same app with the image that's in UTM projection. I actually have one last question about that, but I'll do a separate post for that. This is a modification of that app. See, I've been using this "Parking Lot" map for the University of Illinois, because I couldn't find a better looking one. Well, yesterday, I noticed that you could go their full campus map and right click on each individual tile and save it as a .gif. I had tried this before but was apparently clicking on certain, wrong areas of each tile every time where I guess the javascript was blocking me. The javascript that they use displays info on certain buildings when you click on them. If you happen to right-click on or around a building and try to save, you can't. You have to click somewhere else on the tile that's on or around a building. Anywho - my boss now wants me to take what I've done with that one pic of the "Parking Lot" and now apply it to a big tiled image of the entire campus (enter the tiles I've saved). That's the back story as to what's going on. I have 3 questions now. #1 You asked if the image is in UTM. I'm basing the image projection on the world file. I remember you (or maybe this one other guy on this list serv) telling me before that you can't distinguish what projection a world file is in - that that's one of the cons to world files. Every example I've ever seen after typing in "World File" in Google shows a world file that is in meters and says that it's using UTM projection. That's still the case right? Oh, the lat/lon has to do with me reprojecting. See, someone passes me a lat/lon coordinate (a center point). I then take that, and convert it to UTM, because the map's projection is in UTM due to the world file being in UTM. Thanks for your time and patience by the way. You've been a huge help. #2 The one thing I'm hazy on in regard to the world file is: the 1st and 4th line - pixel size in the x-direction and y-direction in map units/pixel I understand why x is positive and y is almost always negative. But, does that mean, for example, if I type 2 for the 1st line and -2 for the fourth line, then there will be 2 meters per pixel going both directions? For that I could never find an example of what they meant. I just assumed that. I usually work best with seeing an example, and one was never provided on any of the pages I visited. #3 "The X pixel dimension will be (maxx - minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny - maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number." Is pixel dimension related to question #2? For instance (in meters): TL - 393898 4441379 BR - 396253 4438945 maxx=393898, maxy=4441379 minx=396253, miny=4438945 DeltaX=-2355, DeltaY=2434 Say the mosaic's dimensions in pixels are.........: X=1500, Y=2000 X pixel dimension = -2355/1500 = -1.57 meters/pixel Y pixel dimension = 2434/2000 = 1.217 meters/pixel That right? - Chris ________________________________ Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

Really Confused In-Reply-To: <4BF377919225F449BB097CB76FFE9BC801988441@ptolemy.topozone.com> Message-ID: K. Thought I put the mapserver-users email address in the reply. It should be in there this time. Hmmmm - to clarify how I got these images: 1.) http://www.uiuc.edu/ 2.) There are some white links in the top left corner. Click on Maps. 3.) Now a big map should be displayed. This isn't the one. Click anywhere on that big map. 4.) The tile where you clicked will be displayed, but that's not how I get the tiles. If you notice there's no way to tell how long a tile is or how to line them up. Ok. There's a little map to the right of that tile being displayed that says "click to jump" underneath it. 5.) Click in that box anywhere and it will show tiles in the big box to the left that are evenly spaced apart (except the far right and very bottom). If you click on a few places within the small box, you see how the white rectangle with red borders inside the small box moves at the same interval for every tile. So, from there I right-click on the big tile image being displayed and select Save Image. 6.) This is where I got my pics from. I also assembled them last night anyway for amusement, and they fit perfectly. Just the very bottom row and the far right column overlap. But, I know now that the overall mosiac's width is 2602 and the height is 2800. Ideally, I would like the world file to be in lat/lon (that's funny about people on the web thinking the Earth is flat - brings an old Bugs Bunny cartoon to mind), being as I have to convert a lat/lon point someone sends me to UTM as of right now. I would love to not have to convert - just less code is always better to me. Yeah. I know it's in Zone 16. I looked that up a while back on a UTM grid I found online. Ok. So, my current world file (in UTM): 1 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 -1 393898.00 4441379.00 So..... for lat/lon I could say...........: 1 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 -1 -88.248281 40.117268 (This would put the Top Left coordinate in an area called West Side Park. I took that assembled map pic and then grabbed a screen shot of the current window I was in and made that into an image and aligned them via layering and opacity levels in The GIMP (Like Photoshop but in Ubuntu Linux)). I'll double check the math, but I don't know if what I described earlier with all the steps could be screwing things up. And lastly, in the world file, 1 would represent 1 decimal degree/pixel or 1 meter/pixel in the X direction (depending on UTM or lat/lon)? I checked out Topozone. It looks like it has a ton of features. I'll play around with it some more. Thanks!!!! - Chris Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 18:25:52 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at msn.com; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris ? (I added the list back to the reply line ? please always reply to the whole list ? thanks) A world file is in the units of the image?s projection, not the other way around. Having a world file does not mean the image is in UTM projection. The UTM projection is a popular one, but it?s certainly not the only one. For a map in Illinois UTM is certainly a possibility, but an Illinois State Plane Coordinate System projection is also a possibility ? especially if the original imagery came from the State of Illinois. And geographic lat/lon coordinates are also a possibility due to the increasing number of people in the world who seem to think the Earth is flat (at least on the Web). I don?t know which campus you?re using, but if you?re at UIUC then the UTM coordinates will be in UTM Zone 16 with values of around 395000 (X or Easting) 4440000 (Y or Northing). If your numbers don?t look like those, they?re not UTM. Oh, sorry ? I started answering before reading all the questions, and you later seem to confirm that your coordinates are indeed UTM. But you got the formulas backwards, and X should be positive while Y should be negative- not the other way around. And the measurements in your world file are indeed in meters, but that?s because those are the native units of the UTM projection being used. There?s nothing that requires them to be in meters; many US state plane coordinate systems use units of feet, and those would appear in the world file, too. Now it is highly unlikely that your pixel resolution is different in each dimension. You could average those two numbers, or double-check your coordinate values (you didn?t say what source you used to get them). If you got this image from a GIS source, I would say that if you think the dimensions are different you?re wrong, but who knows what the University did to munge the image into a pretty picture. So maybe the dimensions ARE different; that?s not impossible, just odd. I still would double-check your measurements and math, but if you get the same answer that?s OK. Once you do that you just have to crank out those world files! - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com From: Christopher Harris [mailto:docterrobert at msn.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 1:13 PM To: Ed McNierney Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Wow. Thanks Ed. You went to a lot of trouble. Most of this stuff you've explained I have a handle on. I wikipedia'd how to make a world file when I did that previous app. And yes, it's the same app with the image that's in UTM projection. I actually have one last question about that, but I'll do a separate post for that. This is a modification of that app. See, I've been using this "Parking Lot" map for the University of Illinois, because I couldn't find a better looking one. Well, yesterday, I noticed that you could go their full campus map and right click on each individual tile and save it as a .gif. I had tried this before but was apparently clicking on certain, wrong areas of each tile every time where I guess the javascript was blocking me. The javascript that they use displays info on certain buildings when you click on them. If you happen to right-click on or around a building and try to save, you can't. You have to click somewhere else on the tile that's on or around a building. Anywho - my boss now wants me to take what I've done with that one pic of the "Parking Lot" and now apply it to a big tiled image of the entire campus (enter the tiles I've saved). That's the back story as to what's going on. I have 3 questions now. #1 You asked if the image is in UTM. I'm basing the image projection on the world file. I remember you (or maybe this one other guy on this list serv) telling me before that you can't distinguish what projection a world file is in - that that's one of the cons to world files. Every example I've ever seen after typing in "World File" in Google shows a world file that is in meters and says that it's using UTM projection. That's still the case right? Oh, the lat/lon has to do with me reprojecting. See, someone passes me a lat/lon coordinate (a center point). I then take that, and convert it to UTM, because the map's projection is in UTM due to the world file being in UTM. Thanks for your time and patience by the way. You've been a huge help. #2 The one thing I'm hazy on in regard to the world file is: the 1st and 4th line - pixel size in the x-direction and y-direction in map units/pixel I understand why x is positive and y is almost always negative. But, does that mean, for example, if I type 2 for the 1st line and -2 for the fourth line, then there will be 2 meters per pixel going both directions? For that I could never find an example of what they meant. I just assumed that. I usually work best with seeing an example, and one was never provided on any of the pages I visited. #3 "The X pixel dimension will be (maxx ? minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny ? maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number." Is pixel dimension related to question #2? For instance (in meters): TL - 393898 4441379 BR - 396253 4438945 maxx=393898, maxy=4441379 minx=396253, miny=4438945 DeltaX=-2355, DeltaY=2434 Say the mosaic's dimensions in pixels are.........: X=1500, Y=2000 X pixel dimension = -2355/1500 = -1.57 meters/pixel Y pixel dimension = 2434/2000 = 1.217 meters/pixel That right? - Chris Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 14:45:54 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at MSN.COM; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris ? OK ? it?s not as bad as all that ? don?t fire up Photoshop yet. If you have a set of tiles which together create a seamless large image, and those tiles are of a regular size and shape, don?t bother pasting them together. Each world file has six numbers in it, two of which will be 0. For each image tile you need a world file that contains the X/Y coordinates of the upper left pixel of the image (two numbers), and the dimension (size) of each pixel in X (one number) and Y (one number) units. In the vast majority of cases the last two numbers will be identical except for sign (the Y value is normally a negative number since Y values decrease as you go from the top to the bottom of the image). If your images make a rectangle when pasted together, just treat them as one. Find the X/Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the entire image area, and the X/Y coordinates of the lower right corner of the entire image area. Find the size of the entire mosaiced rectangle in X and Y pixels. The X pixel dimension will be (maxx ? minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny ? maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number. For all your world files, these two X and Y extent values (the first and fourth lines) will be constants. The last two lines are the upper left X and Y coordinates of each tile. Your tiles will all have the same Y value across each row, and the same X value down each column. You know what the upper-left corner of the upper-left tile is, because you measured it. You know the number of X pixels in each tile and the number of Y pixels in each tile, and you now know the size in X and Y units of each pixel, so you know the extent of each image tile in X and Y units, so you can calculate the upper-left corner coordinate of the image to the right and the image below. Repeat until complete. All your measurements need to be done in the units of the image?s coordinate system. Is this the image you were asking about earlier that?s in UTM projection? If so, you need UTM coordinates, NOT lat/lon. I wouldn?t recommend Google Earth as a very accurate way to do that, but if it?s close enough for you and easy that?s OK. If you can easily find the corners of your image area on a topo map you can do it on TopoZone and get UTM coordinates accurate to within a few meters just by clicking on the spots that match the corner points of your image. If there isn?t an obvious landmark at the corner, you can pick a prominent location NEAR the corner and just measure the number of pixels away from the corner it is. It?s just a bit more bookkeeping but does the same thing. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11:15 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Thanks again, Ed. I need to clear up some things that I guess I didn't make clear. I know that a world file provides georeferencing. I meant to say that I had a .gif that had no georeferencing info associated with it, and then added one. From there I got my initial app to work (displaying the big map). One thing I omitted was that the little .gifs (tiles), when assembled, make up a different big map pic then the one where mentioned : ?it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it." Before I had a pic of a large section of a college campus. Now I have a pic of the entire campus, but in little tiles. I know Mapserver makes maps and not pics too. I probably just worded something wrong. "So ? what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you?ll need to get that information for your big image." Yes, I have a world file, but it's for the pic that shows a large section of the campus - not for the big pic that is the sum of the little pics. Ok, so then I have to have a world file for every little tile, but before that I need to correctly set up the world file for the big pic, which I guess I'll need to assemble in Photoshop. Does that sound right? I can do it, it's just a bit tedious lining up the tiles and such. Also, how do you correctly align a pic of some map on the globe. I've been using Google Maps to do it. I'll sit there and study where the pic's corners should approximately be, then get the lat/lon from that (clicking directions to or from will yield the lat/lons). Thank you. - Chris Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:36:42 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at MSN.COM; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris ? Let me suggest you try to get unconfused just one step at a time! ?it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it.? That?s a bit of a contradiction. A world file is one way of providing georeferencing. If you?ve got an image ?attached? to the Earth via a world file, you?ve georeferenced it. MapServer makes maps, not pictures. One of the chief differences is that a map has geographic location information associated with it. When you ask MapServer to generate a map for you, you need to tell it the location of the map you want in some coordinate system. In order for MapServer to know which of your GIF images to use in making the output map, it needs to know the geographic location of each of those images. Otherwise it couldn?t figure out which ones to use. A TILEINDEX is step two in the process. Once you have a set of more than 1 properly georeferenced images that you?d like to use like a single logical image, you can create a TILEINDEX to do that. But you have to completely and correctly make it through step one first. Once you get the individual images properly georeferenced, gdaltindex will just work. So ? what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you?ll need to get that information for your big image. If you do have that world file and know how the tiles were created, let us know (you can post the world file in your reply ? it?s just six lines of text). - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 10:02 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

Really Confused In-Reply-To: A Message-ID: Chris - I think you need to spend a few moments meditating on the fact that the world file DESCRIBES the image it's associated with. It does not DEFINE it. If you change the numbers in your UTM-projection world file to lat/lon coordinates, your application will break. You haven't changed the fact that your image is still in the UTM projection! If your image is UTM, your world file must be UTM. A world file like your second example is saying "here's a description of my image file, which is in a lat/lon 'projection'. Each pixel is one degree wide by one degree high (!) and the upper left corner is at longitude -88 and latitude 40". That is not at all a correct description of your image file. MapServer knows all about map projection, and you can define several layers in a map each in a different projection. Your output map image may be in yet another projection. There's nothing wrong with creating a map file that defines one layer as your photo TILEINDEX in UTM projection, another point layer in lat/lon coordinates, and an output image being displayed and requested in lat/lon coordinates (or in UTM, or in something else entirely). Get your LAYER definition for your TILEINDEX photo layer (or single image layer) in UTM projection working properly. Do nothing else. Once you have a map being displayed correctly you can (a) set the output image projection to lat/lon if you insist, and/or (b) add data points in lat/lon coordinates. - Ed P.S. If you look at this URL: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=40.10802&lon=-88.22711&datum=nad83 you'll see that the URL requests a point in lat/lon coordinates and that point is displayed as a red market symbol in the middle of a map image which is in UTM projection, with the corresponding UTM coordinates displayed above the map.

Really Confused K. Thought I put the mapserver-users email address in the reply. It should be in there this time. Hmmmm - to clarify how I got these images: 1.) http://www.uiuc.edu/ 2.) There are some white links in the top left corner. Click on Maps. 3.) Now a big map should be displayed. This isn't the one. Click anywhere on that big map. 4.) The tile where you clicked will be displayed, but that's not how I get the tiles. If you notice there's no way to tell how long a tile is or how to line them up. Ok. There's a little map to the right of that tile being displayed that says "click to jump" underneath it. 5.) Click in that box anywhere and it will show tiles in the big box to the left that are evenly spaced apart (except the far right and very bottom). If you click on a few places within the small box, you see how the white rectangle with red borders inside the small box moves at the same interval for every tile. So, from there I right-click on the big tile image being displayed and select Save Image. 6.) This is where I got my pics from. I also assembled them last night anyway for amusement, and they fit perfectly. Just the very bottom row and the far right column overlap. But, I know now that the overall mosiac's width is 2602 and the height is 2800. Ideally, I would like the world file to be in lat/lon (that's funny about people on the web thinking the Earth is flat - brings an old Bugs Bunny cartoon to mind), being as I have to convert a lat/lon point someone sends me to UTM as of right now. I would love to not have to convert - just less code is always better to me. Yeah. I know it's in Zone 16. I looked that up a while back on a UTM grid I found online. Ok. So, my current world file (in UTM): 1 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 -1 393898.00 4441379.00 So..... for lat/lon I could say...........: 1 0.0000000000 0.0000000000 -1 -88.248281 40.117268 (This would put the Top Left coordinate in an area called West Side Park. I took that assembled map pic and then grabbed a screen shot of the current window I was in and made that into an image and aligned them via layering and opacity levels in The GIMP (Like Photoshop but in Ubuntu Linux)). I'll double check the math, but I don't know if what I described earlier with all the steps could be screwing things up. And lastly, in the world file, 1 would represent 1 decimal degree/pixel or 1 meter/pixel in the X direction (depending on UTM or lat/lon)? I checked out Topozone. It looks like it has a ton of features. I'll play around with it some more. Thanks!!!! - Chris ________________________________ Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 18:25:52 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at msn.com; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris - (I added the list back to the reply line - please always reply to the whole list - thanks) A world file is in the units of the image's projection, not the other way around. Having a world file does not mean the image is in UTM projection. The UTM projection is a popular one, but it's certainly not the only one. For a map in Illinois UTM is certainly a possibility, but an Illinois State Plane Coordinate System projection is also a possibility - especially if the original imagery came from the State of Illinois. And geographic lat/lon coordinates are also a possibility due to the increasing number of people in the world who seem to think the Earth is flat (at least on the Web). I don't know which campus you're using, but if you're at UIUC then the UTM coordinates will be in UTM Zone 16 with values of around 395000 (X or Easting) 4440000 (Y or Northing). If your numbers don't look like those, they're not UTM. Oh, sorry - I started answering before reading all the questions, and you later seem to confirm that your coordinates are indeed UTM. But you got the formulas backwards, and X should be positive while Y should be negative- not the other way around. And the measurements in your world file are indeed in meters, but that's because those are the native units of the UTM projection being used. There's nothing that requires them to be in meters; many US state plane coordinate systems use units of feet, and those would appear in the world file, too. Now it is highly unlikely that your pixel resolution is different in each dimension. You could average those two numbers, or double-check your coordinate values (you didn't say what source you used to get them). If you got this image from a GIS source, I would say that if you think the dimensions are different you're wrong, but who knows what the University did to munge the image into a pretty picture. So maybe the dimensions ARE different; that's not impossible, just odd. I still would double-check your measurements and math, but if you get the same answer that's OK. Once you do that you just have to crank out those world files! - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: Christopher Harris [mailto:docterrobert at msn.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 1:13 PM To: Ed McNierney Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Wow. Thanks Ed. You went to a lot of trouble. Most of this stuff you've explained I have a handle on. I wikipedia'd how to make a world file when I did that previous app. And yes, it's the same app with the image that's in UTM projection. I actually have one last question about that, but I'll do a separate post for that. This is a modification of that app. See, I've been using this "Parking Lot" map for the University of Illinois, because I couldn't find a better looking one. Well, yesterday, I noticed that you could go their full campus map and right click on each individual tile and save it as a .gif. I had tried this before but was apparently clicking on certain, wrong areas of each tile every time where I guess the javascript was blocking me. The javascript that they use displays info on certain buildings when you click on them. If you happen to right-click on or around a building and try to save, you can't. You have to click somewhere else on the tile that's on or around a building. Anywho - my boss now wants me to take what I've done with that one pic of the "Parking Lot" and now apply it to a big tiled image of the entire campus (enter the tiles I've saved). That's the back story as to what's going on. I have 3 questions now. #1 You asked if the image is in UTM. I'm basing the image projection on the world file. I remember you (or maybe this one other guy on this list serv) telling me before that you can't distinguish what projection a world file is in - that that's one of the cons to world files. Every example I've ever seen after typing in "World File" in Google shows a world file that is in meters and says that it's using UTM projection. That's still the case right? Oh, the lat/lon has to do with me reprojecting. See, someone passes me a lat/lon coordinate (a center point). I then take that, and convert it to UTM, because the map's projection is in UTM due to the world file being in UTM. Thanks for your time and patience by the way. You've been a huge help. #2 The one thing I'm hazy on in regard to the world file is: the 1st and 4th line - pixel size in the x-direction and y-direction in map units/pixel I understand why x is positive and y is almost always negative. But, does that mean, for example, if I type 2 for the 1st line and -2 for the fourth line, then there will be 2 meters per pixel going both directions? For that I could never find an example of what they meant. I just assumed that. I usually work best with seeing an example, and one was never provided on any of the pages I visited. #3 "The X pixel dimension will be (maxx - minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny - maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number." Is pixel dimension related to question #2? For instance (in meters): TL - 393898 4441379 BR - 396253 4438945 maxx=393898, maxy=4441379 minx=396253, miny=4438945 DeltaX=-2355, DeltaY=2434 Say the mosaic's dimensions in pixels are.........: X=1500, Y=2000 X pixel dimension = -2355/1500 = -1.57 meters/pixel Y pixel dimension = 2434/2000 = 1.217 meters/pixel That right? - Chris ________________________________ Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

If you have a set of tiles which together create a seamless large image, and those tiles are of a regular size and shape, don't bother pasting them together. Each world file has six numbers in it, two of which will be 0. For each image tile you need a world file that contains the X/Y coordinates of the upper left pixel of the image (two numbers), and the dimension (size) of each pixel in X (one number) and Y (one number) units. In the vast majority of cases the last two numbers will be identical except for sign (the Y value is normally a negative number since Y values decrease as you go from the top to the bottom of the image). If your images make a rectangle when pasted together, just treat them as one. Find the X/Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the entire image area, and the X/Y coordinates of the lower right corner of the entire image area. Find the size of the entire mosaiced rectangle in X and Y pixels. The X pixel dimension will be (maxx - minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny - maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number. For all your world files, these two X and Y extent values (the first and fourth lines) will be constants. The last two lines are the upper left X and Y coordinates of each tile. Your tiles will all have the same Y value across each row, and the same X value down each column. You know what the upper-left corner of the upper-left tile is, because you measured it. You know the number of X pixels in each tile and the number of Y pixels in each tile, and you now know the size in X and Y units of each pixel, so you know the extent of each image tile in X and Y units, so you can calculate the upper-left corner coordinate of the image to the right and the image below. Repeat until complete. All your measurements need to be done in the units of the image's coordinate system. Is this the image you were asking about earlier that's in UTM projection? If so, you need UTM coordinates, NOT lat/lon. I wouldn't recommend Google Earth as a very accurate way to do that, but if it's close enough for you and easy that's OK. If you can easily find the corners of your image area on a topo map you can do it on TopoZone and get UTM coordinates accurate to within a few meters just by clicking on the spots that match the corner points of your image. If there isn't an obvious landmark at the corner, you can pick a prominent location NEAR the corner and just measure the number of pixels away from the corner it is. It's just a bit more bookkeeping but does the same thing. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11:15 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Thanks again, Ed. I need to clear up some things that I guess I didn't make clear. I know that a world file provides georeferencing. I meant to say that I had a .gif that had no georeferencing info associated with it, and then added one. From there I got my initial app to work (displaying the big map). One thing I omitted was that the little .gifs (tiles), when assembled, make up a different big map pic then the one where mentioned : "it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it." Before I had a pic of a large section of a college campus. Now I have a pic of the entire campus, but in little tiles. I know Mapserver makes maps and not pics too. I probably just worded something wrong. "So - what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you'll need to get that information for your big image." Yes, I have a world file, but it's for the pic that shows a large section of the campus - not for the big pic that is the sum of the little pics. Ok, so then I have to have a world file for every little tile, but before that I need to correctly set up the world file for the big pic, which I guess I'll need to assemble in Photoshop. Does that sound right? I can do it, it's just a bit tedious lining up the tiles and such. Also, how do you correctly align a pic of some map on the globe. I've been using Google Maps to do it. I'll sit there and study where the pic's corners should approximately be, then get the lat/lon from that (clicking directions to or from will yield the lat/lons). Thank you. - Chris ________________________________ Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:36:42 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at MSN.COM; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris - Let me suggest you try to get unconfused just one step at a time! "it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it." That's a bit of a contradiction. A world file is one way of providing georeferencing. If you've got an image "attached" to the Earth via a world file, you've georeferenced it. MapServer makes maps, not pictures. One of the chief differences is that a map has geographic location information associated with it. When you ask MapServer to generate a map for you, you need to tell it the location of the map you want in some coordinate system. In order for MapServer to know which of your GIF images to use in making the output map, it needs to know the geographic location of each of those images. Otherwise it couldn't figure out which ones to use. A TILEINDEX is step two in the process. Once you have a set of more than 1 properly georeferenced images that you'd like to use like a single logical image, you can create a TILEINDEX to do that. But you have to completely and correctly make it through step one first. Once you get the individual images properly georeferenced, gdaltindex will just work. So - what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you'll need to get that information for your big image. If you do have that world file and know how the tiles were created, let us know (you can post the world file in your reply - it's just six lines of text). - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 10:02 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

For a map in Illinois UTM is certainly a possibility, but an Illinois State Plane Coordinate System projection is also a possibility ? especially if the original imagery came from the State of Illinois. And geographic lat/lon coordinates are also a possibility due to the increasing number of people in the world who seem to think the Earth is flat (at least on the Web). I don?t know which campus you?re using, but if you?re at UIUC then the UTM coordinates will be in UTM Zone 16 with values of around 395000 (X or Easting) 4440000 (Y or Northing). If your numbers don?t look like those, they?re not UTM. Oh, sorry ? I started answering before reading all the questions, and you later seem to confirm that your coordinates are indeed UTM. But you got the formulas backwards, and X should be positive while Y should be negative- not the other way around. And the measurements in your world file are indeed in meters, but that?s because those are the native units of the UTM projection being used. There?s nothing that requires them to be in meters; many US state plane coordinate systems use units of feet, and those would appear in the world file, too. Now it is highly unlikely that your pixel resolution is different in each dimension. You could average those two numbers, or double-check your coordinate values (you didn?t say what source you used to get them). If you got this image from a GIS source, I would say that if you think the dimensions are different you?re wrong, but who knows what the University did to munge the image into a pretty picture. So maybe the dimensions ARE different; that?s not impossible, just odd. I still would double-check your measurements and math, but if you get the same answer that?s OK. Once you do that you just have to crank out those world files! - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com From: Christopher Harris [mailto:docterrobert at msn.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 1:13 PM To: Ed McNierney Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Wow. Thanks Ed. You went to a lot of trouble. Most of this stuff you've explained I have a handle on. I wikipedia'd how to make a world file when I did that previous app. And yes, it's the same app with the image that's in UTM projection. I actually have one last question about that, but I'll do a separate post for that. This is a modification of that app. See, I've been using this "Parking Lot" map for the University of Illinois, because I couldn't find a better looking one. Well, yesterday, I noticed that you could go their full campus map and right click on each individual tile and save it as a .gif. I had tried this before but was apparently clicking on certain, wrong areas of each tile every time where I guess the javascript was blocking me. The javascript that they use displays info on certain buildings when you click on them. If you happen to right-click on or around a building and try to save, you can't. You have to click somewhere else on the tile that's on or around a building. Anywho - my boss now wants me to take what I've done with that one pic of the "Parking Lot" and now apply it to a big tiled image of the entire campus (enter the tiles I've saved). That's the back story as to what's going on. I have 3 questions now. #1 You asked if the image is in UTM. I'm basing the image projection on the world file. I remember you (or maybe this one other guy on this list serv) telling me before that you can't distinguish what projection a world file is in - that that's one of the cons to world files. Every example I've ever seen after typing in "World File" in Google shows a world file that is in meters and says that it's using UTM projection. That's still the case right? Oh, the lat/lon has to do with me reprojecting. See, someone passes me a lat/lon coordinate (a center point). I then take that, and convert it to UTM, because the map's projection is in UTM due to the world file being in UTM. Thanks for your time and patience by the way. You've been a huge help. #2 The one thing I'm hazy on in regard to the world file is: the 1st and 4th line - pixel size in the x-direction and y-direction in map units/pixel I understand why x is positive and y is almost always negative. But, does that mean, for example, if I type 2 for the 1st line and -2 for the fourth line, then there will be 2 meters per pixel going both directions? For that I could never find an example of what they meant. I just assumed that. I usually work best with seeing an example, and one was never provided on any of the pages I visited. #3 "The X pixel dimension will be (maxx ? minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny ? maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number." Is pixel dimension related to question #2? For instance (in meters): TL - 393898 4441379 BR - 396253 4438945 maxx=393898, maxy=4441379 minx=396253, miny=4438945 DeltaX=-2355, DeltaY=2434 Say the mosaic's dimensions in pixels are.........: X=1500, Y=2000 X pixel dimension = -2355/1500 = -1.57 meters/pixel Y pixel dimension = 2434/2000 = 1.217 meters/pixel That right? - Chris Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

OK ? it?s not as bad as all that ? don?t fire up Photoshop yet. If you have a set of tiles which together create a seamless large image, and those tiles are of a regular size and shape, don?t bother pasting them together. Each world file has six numbers in it, two of which will be 0. For each image tile you need a world file that contains the X/Y coordinates of the upper left pixel of the image (two numbers), and the dimension (size) of each pixel in X (one number) and Y (one number) units. In the vast majority of cases the last two numbers will be identical except for sign (the Y value is normally a negative number since Y values decrease as you go from the top to the bottom of the image). If your images make a rectangle when pasted together, just treat them as one. Find the X/Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the entire image area, and the X/Y coordinates of the lower right corner of the entire image area. Find the size of the entire mosaiced rectangle in X and Y pixels. The X pixel dimension will be (maxx ? minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny ? maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number. For all your world files, these two X and Y extent values (the first and fourth lines) will be constants. The last two lines are the upper left X and Y coordinates of each tile. Your tiles will all have the same Y value across each row, and the same X value down each column. You know what the upper-left corner of the upper-left tile is, because you measured it. You know the number of X pixels in each tile and the number of Y pixels in each tile, and you now know the size in X and Y units of each pixel, so you know the extent of each image tile in X and Y units, so you can calculate the upper-left corner coordinate of the image to the right and the image below. Repeat until complete. All your measurements need to be done in the units of the image?s coordinate system. Is this the image you were asking about earlier that?s in UTM projection? If so, you need UTM coordinates, NOT lat/lon. I wouldn?t recommend Google Earth as a very accurate way to do that, but if it?s close enough for you and easy that?s OK. If you can easily find the corners of your image area on a topo map you can do it on TopoZone and get UTM coordinates accurate to within a few meters just by clicking on the spots that match the corner points of your image. If there isn?t an obvious landmark at the corner, you can pick a prominent location NEAR the corner and just measure the number of pixels away from the corner it is. It?s just a bit more bookkeeping but does the same thing. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11:15 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Thanks again, Ed. I need to clear up some things that I guess I didn't make clear. I know that a world file provides georeferencing. I meant to say that I had a .gif that had no georeferencing info associated with it, and then added one. From there I got my initial app to work (displaying the big map). One thing I omitted was that the little .gifs (tiles), when assembled, make up a different big map pic then the one where mentioned : ?it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it." Before I had a pic of a large section of a college campus. Now I have a pic of the entire campus, but in little tiles. I know Mapserver makes maps and not pics too. I probably just worded something wrong. "So ? what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you?ll need to get that information for your big image." Yes, I have a world file, but it's for the pic that shows a large section of the campus - not for the big pic that is the sum of the little pics. Ok, so then I have to have a world file for every little tile, but before that I need to correctly set up the world file for the big pic, which I guess I'll need to assemble in Photoshop. Does that sound right? I can do it, it's just a bit tedious lining up the tiles and such. Also, how do you correctly align a pic of some map on the globe. I've been using Google Maps to do it. I'll sit there and study where the pic's corners should approximately be, then get the lat/lon from that (clicking directions to or from will yield the lat/lons). Thank you. - Chris Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:36:42 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at MSN.COM; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris ? Let me suggest you try to get unconfused just one step at a time! ?it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it.? That?s a bit of a contradiction. A world file is one way of providing georeferencing. If you?ve got an image ?attached? to the Earth via a world file, you?ve georeferenced it. MapServer makes maps, not pictures. One of the chief differences is that a map has geographic location information associated with it. When you ask MapServer to generate a map for you, you need to tell it the location of the map you want in some coordinate system. In order for MapServer to know which of your GIF images to use in making the output map, it needs to know the geographic location of each of those images. Otherwise it couldn?t figure out which ones to use. A TILEINDEX is step two in the process. Once you have a set of more than 1 properly georeferenced images that you?d like to use like a single logical image, you can create a TILEINDEX to do that. But you have to completely and correctly make it through step one first. Once you get the individual images properly georeferenced, gdaltindex will just work. So ? what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you?ll need to get that information for your big image. If you do have that world file and know how the tiles were created, let us know (you can post the world file in your reply ? it?s just six lines of text). - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 10:02 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

Yeah. TIFF has a size limit of 2 GB. If your MrSID is 1 GB, then it probably has some 10 GB if it were converted to TIFF. Look at that width and height, and figure out what dimensions would correspond to just under 2 GB, then use the -srcwin flag to extract a small part of the file, several times. Example: gdal_translate -of GTiff -srcwin 0 0 20000 21500 co.sid co1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -srcwin 20000 0 20000 21500 co.sid co1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -srcwin 40000 0 20000 21500 co.sid co1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -srcwin 60000 0 20000 21500 co.sid co1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -srcwin 80000 0 20000 21500 co.sid co1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -srcwin 100000 0 23859 21500 co.sid co1.tif and so on Thus, you'll have 12 TIFFs of about 900 MB GB apiece.

Repeat until complete. All your measurements need to be done in the units of the image's coordinate system. Is this the image you were asking about earlier that's in UTM projection? If so, you need UTM coordinates, NOT lat/lon. I wouldn't recommend Google Earth as a very accurate way to do that, but if it's close enough for you and easy that's OK. If you can easily find the corners of your image area on a topo map you can do it on TopoZone and get UTM coordinates accurate to within a few meters just by clicking on the spots that match the corner points of your image. If there isn't an obvious landmark at the corner, you can pick a prominent location NEAR the corner and just measure the number of pixels away from the corner it is. It's just a bit more bookkeeping but does the same thing. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11:15 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

"it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it." That's a bit of a contradiction. A world file is one way of providing georeferencing. If you've got an image "attached" to the Earth via a world file, you've georeferenced it. MapServer makes maps, not pictures. One of the chief differences is that a map has geographic location information associated with it. When you ask MapServer to generate a map for you, you need to tell it the location of the map you want in some coordinate system. In order for MapServer to know which of your GIF images to use in making the output map, it needs to know the geographic location of each of those images. Otherwise it couldn't figure out which ones to use. A TILEINDEX is step two in the process. Once you have a set of more than 1 properly georeferenced images that you'd like to use like a single logical image, you can create a TILEINDEX to do that. But you have to completely and correctly make it through step one first. Once you get the individual images properly georeferenced, gdaltindex will just work. So - what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you'll need to get that information for your big image. If you do have that world file and know how the tiles were created, let us know (you can post the world file in your reply - it's just six lines of text). - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 10:02 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 18:25:52 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at msn.com; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris - (I added the list back to the reply line - please always reply to the whole list - thanks) A world file is in the units of the image's projection, not the other way around. Having a world file does not mean the image is in UTM projection. The UTM projection is a popular one, but it's certainly not the only one. For a map in Illinois UTM is certainly a possibility, but an Illinois State Plane Coordinate System projection is also a possibility - especially if the original imagery came from the State of Illinois. And geographic lat/lon coordinates are also a possibility due to the increasing number of people in the world who seem to think the Earth is flat (at least on the Web). I don't know which campus you're using, but if you're at UIUC then the UTM coordinates will be in UTM Zone 16 with values of around 395000 (X or Easting) 4440000 (Y or Northing). If your numbers don't look like those, they're not UTM. Oh, sorry - I started answering before reading all the questions, and you later seem to confirm that your coordinates are indeed UTM. But you got the formulas backwards, and X should be positive while Y should be negative- not the other way around. And the measurements in your world file are indeed in meters, but that's because those are the native units of the UTM projection being used. There's nothing that requires them to be in meters; many US state plane coordinate systems use units of feet, and those would appear in the world file, too. Now it is highly unlikely that your pixel resolution is different in each dimension. You could average those two numbers, or double-check your coordinate values (you didn't say what source you used to get them). If you got this image from a GIS source, I would say that if you think the dimensions are different you're wrong, but who knows what the University did to munge the image into a pretty picture. So maybe the dimensions ARE different; that's not impossible, just odd. I still would double-check your measurements and math, but if you get the same answer that's OK. Once you do that you just have to crank out those world files! - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: Christopher Harris [mailto:docterrobert at msn.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 1:13 PM To: Ed McNierney Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Wow. Thanks Ed. You went to a lot of trouble. Most of this stuff you've explained I have a handle on. I wikipedia'd how to make a world file when I did that previous app. And yes, it's the same app with the image that's in UTM projection. I actually have one last question about that, but I'll do a separate post for that. This is a modification of that app. See, I've been using this "Parking Lot" map for the University of Illinois, because I couldn't find a better looking one. Well, yesterday, I noticed that you could go their full campus map and right click on each individual tile and save it as a .gif. I had tried this before but was apparently clicking on certain, wrong areas of each tile every time where I guess the javascript was blocking me. The javascript that they use displays info on certain buildings when you click on them. If you happen to right-click on or around a building and try to save, you can't. You have to click somewhere else on the tile that's on or around a building. Anywho - my boss now wants me to take what I've done with that one pic of the "Parking Lot" and now apply it to a big tiled image of the entire campus (enter the tiles I've saved). That's the back story as to what's going on. I have 3 questions now. #1 You asked if the image is in UTM. I'm basing the image projection on the world file. I remember you (or maybe this one other guy on this list serv) telling me before that you can't distinguish what projection a world file is in - that that's one of the cons to world files. Every example I've ever seen after typing in "World File" in Google shows a world file that is in meters and says that it's using UTM projection. That's still the case right? Oh, the lat/lon has to do with me reprojecting. See, someone passes me a lat/lon coordinate (a center point). I then take that, and convert it to UTM, because the map's projection is in UTM due to the world file being in UTM. Thanks for your time and patience by the way. You've been a huge help. #2 The one thing I'm hazy on in regard to the world file is: the 1st and 4th line - pixel size in the x-direction and y-direction in map units/pixel I understand why x is positive and y is almost always negative. But, does that mean, for example, if I type 2 for the 1st line and -2 for the fourth line, then there will be 2 meters per pixel going both directions? For that I could never find an example of what they meant. I just assumed that. I usually work best with seeing an example, and one was never provided on any of the pages I visited. #3 "The X pixel dimension will be (maxx - minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny - maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number." Is pixel dimension related to question #2? For instance (in meters): TL - 393898 4441379 BR - 396253 4438945 maxx=393898, maxy=4441379 minx=396253, miny=4438945 DeltaX=-2355, DeltaY=2434 Say the mosaic's dimensions in pixels are.........: X=1500, Y=2000 X pixel dimension = -2355/1500 = -1.57 meters/pixel Y pixel dimension = 2434/2000 = 1.217 meters/pixel That right? - Chris ________________________________ Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

If you have a set of tiles which together create a seamless large image, and those tiles are of a regular size and shape, don't bother pasting them together. Each world file has six numbers in it, two of which will be 0. For each image tile you need a world file that contains the X/Y coordinates of the upper left pixel of the image (two numbers), and the dimension (size) of each pixel in X (one number) and Y (one number) units. In the vast majority of cases the last two numbers will be identical except for sign (the Y value is normally a negative number since Y values decrease as you go from the top to the bottom of the image). If your images make a rectangle when pasted together, just treat them as one. Find the X/Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the entire image area, and the X/Y coordinates of the lower right corner of the entire image area. Find the size of the entire mosaiced rectangle in X and Y pixels. The X pixel dimension will be (maxx - minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny - maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number. For all your world files, these two X and Y extent values (the first and fourth lines) will be constants. The last two lines are the upper left X and Y coordinates of each tile. Your tiles will all have the same Y value across each row, and the same X value down each column. You know what the upper-left corner of the upper-left tile is, because you measured it. You know the number of X pixels in each tile and the number of Y pixels in each tile, and you now know the size in X and Y units of each pixel, so you know the extent of each image tile in X and Y units, so you can calculate the upper-left corner coordinate of the image to the right and the image below. Repeat until complete. All your measurements need to be done in the units of the image's coordinate system. Is this the image you were asking about earlier that's in UTM projection? If so, you need UTM coordinates, NOT lat/lon. I wouldn't recommend Google Earth as a very accurate way to do that, but if it's close enough for you and easy that's OK.

If there isn't an obvious landmark at the corner, you can pick a prominent location NEAR the corner and just measure the number of pixels away from the corner it is.

I usually work best with seeing an example, and one was never provided on any of the pages I visited. #3 "The X pixel dimension will be (maxx ? minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny ? maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number." Is pixel dimension related to question #2? For instance (in meters): TL - 393898 4441379 BR - 396253 4438945 maxx=393898, maxy=4441379 minx=396253, miny=4438945 DeltaX=-2355, DeltaY=2434 Say the mosaic's dimensions in pixels are.........: X=1500, Y=2000 X pixel dimension = -2355/1500 = -1.57 meters/pixel Y pixel dimension = 2434/2000 = 1.217 meters/pixel That right? - Chris Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

OK ? it?s not as bad as all that ? don?t fire up Photoshop yet. If you have a set of tiles which together create a seamless large image, and those tiles are of a regular size and shape, don?t bother pasting them together. Each world file has six numbers in it, two of which will be 0. For each image tile you need a world file that contains the X/Y coordinates of the upper left pixel of the image (two numbers), and the dimension (size) of each pixel in X (one number) and Y (one number) units. In the vast majority of cases the last two numbers will be identical except for sign (the Y value is normally a negative number since Y values decrease as you go from the top to the bottom of the image). If your images make a rectangle when pasted together, just treat them as one. Find the X/Y coordinates of the upper left corner of the entire image area, and the X/Y coordinates of the lower right corner of the entire image area. Find the size of the entire mosaiced rectangle in X and Y pixels. The X pixel dimension will be (maxx ? minx) / xpixels, and the Y will be (miny ? maxy) / ypixels. You should find that the X number is -1 times the Y number. For all your world files, these two X and Y extent values (the first and fourth lines) will be constants. The last two lines are the upper left X and Y coordinates of each tile. Your tiles will all have the same Y value across each row, and the same X value down each column. You know what the upper-left corner of the upper-left tile is, because you measured it. You know the number of X pixels in each tile and the number of Y pixels in each tile, and you now know the size in X and Y units of each pixel, so you know the extent of each image tile in X and Y units, so you can calculate the upper-left corner coordinate of the image to the right and the image below. Repeat until complete. All your measurements need to be done in the units of the image?s coordinate system. Is this the image you were asking about earlier that?s in UTM projection? If so, you need UTM coordinates, NOT lat/lon. I wouldn?t recommend Google Earth as a very accurate way to do that, but if it?s close enough for you and easy that?s OK. If you can easily find the corners of your image area on a topo map you can do it on TopoZone and get UTM coordinates accurate to within a few meters just by clicking on the spots that match the corner points of your image. If there isn?t an obvious landmark at the corner, you can pick a prominent location NEAR the corner and just measure the number of pixels away from the corner it is. It?s just a bit more bookkeeping but does the same thing. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11:15 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Thanks again, Ed. I need to clear up some things that I guess I didn't make clear. I know that a world file provides georeferencing. I meant to say that I had a .gif that had no georeferencing info associated with it, and then added one. From there I got my initial app to work (displaying the big map). One thing I omitted was that the little .gifs (tiles), when assembled, make up a different big map pic then the one where mentioned : ?it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it." Before I had a pic of a large section of a college campus. Now I have a pic of the entire campus, but in little tiles. I know Mapserver makes maps and not pics too. I probably just worded something wrong. "So ? what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you?ll need to get that information for your big image." Yes, I have a world file, but it's for the pic that shows a large section of the campus - not for the big pic that is the sum of the little pics. Ok, so then I have to have a world file for every little tile, but before that I need to correctly set up the world file for the big pic, which I guess I'll need to assemble in Photoshop. Does that sound right? I can do it, it's just a bit tedious lining up the tiles and such. Also, how do you correctly align a pic of some map on the globe. I've been using Google Maps to do it. I'll sit there and study where the pic's corners should approximately be, then get the lat/lon from that (clicking directions to or from will yield the lat/lons). Thank you. - Chris Subject: RE: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My! Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:36:42 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at MSN.COM; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris ? Let me suggest you try to get unconfused just one step at a time! ?it uses one .gif (the big map pic), attaches the big map to the globe via a world file. That big map .gif had no georeferencing info attached to it.? That?s a bit of a contradiction. A world file is one way of providing georeferencing. If you?ve got an image ?attached? to the Earth via a world file, you?ve georeferenced it. MapServer makes maps, not pictures. One of the chief differences is that a map has geographic location information associated with it. When you ask MapServer to generate a map for you, you need to tell it the location of the map you want in some coordinate system. In order for MapServer to know which of your GIF images to use in making the output map, it needs to know the geographic location of each of those images. Otherwise it couldn?t figure out which ones to use. A TILEINDEX is step two in the process. Once you have a set of more than 1 properly georeferenced images that you?d like to use like a single logical image, you can create a TILEINDEX to do that. But you have to completely and correctly make it through step one first. Once you get the individual images properly georeferenced, gdaltindex will just work. So ? what do you know about these images? Do you really have a world file that correctly describes your big GIF image? Do you know exactly how the little images were created from the big image? If so, you should be able to figure out how to generate world files for each individual image. If not, you?ll need to get that information for your big image. If you do have that world file and know how the tiles were created, let us know (you can post the world file in your reply ? it?s just six lines of text). - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2007 10:02 AM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

If your aerial photos are indeed in the UTM projection as we suspect, and you georeference them in your world file as if they were latitude/longitude, it MIGHT seem to work over a small area. But it will be subtly incorrect. If your image is really in UTM, and you look at the corner coordinates in latitude/longitude you will find that the latitude of the top left corner is NOT the same as the latitude of the top right corner. In other words, the correct X coordinate of a pixel is a function of both X and Y, and that's not a concept you can express in your world file. But if the area is small the difference (error) will also be small, and it will look, at first glance, as if it works. But you will see a positioning error that will vary in magnitude depending on your position on the image, and the error drift in your markers sounds very much like you're seeing the problem I'm talking about. If that's the case, then correcting the projection and world file to accurately describe the image as being in UTM should correct the problem. You will also see the same symptom, of course, if the problem is reversed and the image is in lat/lon but you're treating it like UTM. The best way to check is to calculate both the UTM and lat/lon coordinates of all four corners of your image. It's supposed to be a rectangle, so the top left Y value should match the top right Y value, the top right X value should match the bottom right X value, etc. You should find that that holds true (or close to it) for only one of your two coordinate systems - that's the right one. - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU] On Behalf Of Christopher Harris Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 12:24 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Rasters, TileIndex and Shapefiles - Oh My!

Really Confused Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2007 18:25:52 -0400 From: ed at topozone.com To: docterrobert at msn.com; MAPSERVER-USERS at LISTS.UMN.EDU Chris - (I added the list back to the reply line - please always reply to the whole list - thanks) A world file is in the units of the image's projection, not the other way around. Having a world file does not mean the image is in UTM projection. The UTM projection is a popular one, but it's certainly not the only one. For a map in Illinois UTM is certainly a possibility, but an Illinois State Plane Coordinate System projection is also a possibility - especially if the original imagery came from the State of Illinois. And geographic lat/lon coordinates are also a possibility due to the increasing number of people in the world who seem to think the Earth is flat (at least on the Web). I don't know which campus you're using, but if you're at UIUC then the UTM coordinates will be in UTM Zone 16 with values of around 395000 (X or Easting) 4440000 (Y or Northing). If your numbers don't look like those, they're not UTM. Oh, sorry - I started answering before reading all the questions, and you later seem to confirm that your coordinates are indeed UTM. But you got the formulas backwards, and X should be positive while Y should be negative- not the other way around. And the measurements in your world file are indeed in meters, but that's because those are the native units of the UTM projection being used. There's nothing that requires them to be in meters; many US state plane coordinate systems use units of feet, and those would appear in the world file, too. Now it is highly unlikely that your pixel resolution is different in each dimension. You could average those two numbers, or double-check your coordinate values (you didn't say what source you used to get them). If you got this image from a GIS source, I would say that if you think the dimensions are different you're wrong, but who knows what the University did to munge the image into a pretty picture. So maybe the dimensions ARE different; that's not impossible, just odd. I still would double-check your measurements and math, but if you get the same answer that's OK. Once you do that you just have to crank out those world files! - Ed Ed McNierney TopoZone.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Unfortunately there is not much documentation on mysql around, but I could gather the following by looking at the source of mapmygis.c: Standard ways of specifiying are : (1) 'geometry_column from geometry_table' (2) 'geometry_column from (<sub query>) as foo using unique <column name> using SRID=<srid#>'", NOTE: for (2) 'using unique' and 'SRID=' are optional, but its highly recommended that you use them!!! The most common problem with (1) is incorrectly uploading your data. There must be an entry in the geometry_columns table. This will be automatically done if you used the shp2mysql program or created your geometry column with the AddGeometryColumn() MYGIS function. Another important thing to check is that the MYGIS user specified in the CONNECTION string does have SELECT permissions on the table(s) specified in your DATA string. If you are using the (2) method (and have errors), you've probably made a typo. Example: 'the_geom from (select the_geom,oid from mytable) as foo using unique oid using SRID=76' This is very much like the (1) example. The subquery ('select the_geom,oid from mytable') will be executed, and mapserver will use 'oid' (a postgresql system column) for uniquely specifying a geometry (for mapserver queries). The geometry (the_geom) must have a SRID of 76. Example: 'roads from (select table1.roads,table1.rd_segment_id,table2.rd_name,table2.rd_type from table1,table2 where table1.rd_segment_id=table2.rd_segment_id) as foo using unique rd_segment_id using SRID=89' This is a more complex sub-query involving joining two tables. The resulting geometry (column 'roads') has SRID=89, and mapserver will use rd_segment_id to uniquely identify a geometry. The attributes rd_type and rd_name are useable by other parts of mapserver. To use a view, do something like: ' from (SELECT * FROM ) as foo using unique using SRID=' For example: 'the_geom from (SELECT * FROM myview) as foo using unique gid using SRID=-1' NOTE: for the (2) case, the ' as foo ' is requred. The 'using unique <column>' and 'using SRID=' are case sensitive. Then you can build a simple form which either builds a filter or does a query by attributes on the mysql layer.

You now want the user to be able to select a particular customer from a control (e.g. drop-down box) on the Web page and have only the geographic features associated with that customer show up on the map. One way that you could do this would be to create an expression or filter in the customers layer definition. Instead of hard coding the expression to be something like '[customer]' = 'Ernstson', you would use variable substitution. So the expression would look something like '[customer]' = '%thecustomer%'. Where the name of your control on the html page is 'thecustomer'. Disclaimer: The syntax may not be correct, I haven't tested this. Conceptually, it should work.

The only issue would be that you wouldn't have a default value this way, but could set myval=US to do just that. You should also consider setting a validation pattern for the myval variable in the web object metadata. E.g.: WEB ...

In Geoserver, it is possible to pass an additional parameter "FILTER" that accepts an OGC formatted filter string where it is feasible to do commands like "PropertyIsEqualTo". I have a large shapefile that I built using the MosaicIndexBuilder from the Geoserver project. The image files that make up this shapefile are not uniform in size, density, or color model. These images have surrounding borders and legends that will overlap other images. If we were dealing with only a handful of images I would set up the individual files separately as different layers. As it is, we have over 100K images that fit this profile, so we've opted to go with the shapefile solution. As the images have been named using specific naming conventions, we wanted to see if we could pass a request parameter to do something like this: FILTER=locationFILENAME Is this possible. If not, does anyone have a suggestion on how I can implement this. I was worried about the negative performance that would most likely be involved with have a map file that consisted of 100K+ layers for all of our image files. Thanks in advance for any help. -- __________________________________ Jeremy Nix Senior Application Developer Southwest Financial Services, Ltd. (513) 621-6699
