[mapserver-users] Mapserver TIF Layer

[Fawcett, David]

Felix, 
 
Extent defines the bounding box that you want do display as a default
for your map.  The values need to be expressed in the same units as your
output spatial reference system.  (e.g. if your data is in decimal
degrees of lat/long, your extent should be in decimal degrees).  The
format is [minimum x value] [minimum y value] [maximum x value] [maximum
y value] .  UNITS also needs to reflect the units of your output SRS. 
 
Try:  
 
EXTENT -73.795132 40.685928 -74.153979 40.846823 
UNITS dd
 
Unless you are calling the layer by name in the URL request, change
STATUS to DEFAULT to ensure that the layer shows up.
 
David.

	Hi,
	
	I'm having some difficulty getting a map to show up. I've setup
the latest version of MapServer and I have a TIF with a TFW file.
	
	I don't fully understand how EXTENT works, and I can't find any
decent explanation in the documentation. I'm trying to display a portion
of my map based on latitude and longitude. What do I need to put in my
EXTENT field so that I can get a map with top-left
(40.846823/-74.153979) and bottom-right (40.685928/-73.795132).
	
	Thank you for any assistance!
	
	Felix
	
	Here is my TFW file:
	
	63.545941999999989
	0.0
	0.0
	-63.545941999999989
	-421692.82776298042
	-15874.371420191659
	
	And my Map File:
	
	MAP
	    NAME NY77SOUTH
	    STATUS ON
	    IMAGETYPE PNG
	    SIZE 500 500
	    SHAPEPATH "/var/www/html"
	    #West South East North
	    EXTENT  -421692.82776298042 -15874.371420191659 0 0
	    UNITS METERS
	    PROJECTION 
	    "proj=lcc" 
	    "lat_1=46.666667" 
	    "lat_2=41.333333" 
	    "lon_0=-72.833333" 
	    "lat_0=42.1"
	    "x_0=0.0"
	    "y_0=0.0"
	    "ellps=GRS80" 
	    "datum=NAD83" 
	    END
	        WEB
	            IMAGEPATH "/var/www/html/tmp/"
	            IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
	        END
	
	        LAYER
	            NAME "chart"
	            TYPE RASTER
	            STATUS ON
	            DATA "/var/www/html/NewYork77South.tif"
	        END
	END
