Subject: [mapserver-users] LINE layer on small scales
Message-ID: <20081201101521.GA31453@eldorado.topf.org>

Hi!

I have bunch of linestrings I want to show in one layer. Each linestring
should show up as a line on large scales and as a symbol on small
scales, because on the small scales the lines are too short to see.

I know how to do this with two layers: One LINE layer and one POINT
layer with the same underlying data.

But I'd rather do this in one layer and use different CLASSes for the
different scales. But when I do this the symbols keep disappearing on
smaller scales, I guess because the linestrings get so short that
Mapserver decides to not draw them at all.

Can this be done? Any ideas?

Jochen

Subject: [mapserver-users] pyramid, .rrd file
Message-ID: <4933C04D.3000301@burken.hu>

Dear All,

Is there any possibility to use ERDAS .rrd file in Mapserver focusing on
the pyramid function?
A bit detailed information: I have a lot of georeferenced orthophotos
and I'm looking for the best way it display them via Mapserver as fast
and as detailed as possible.
I've tried gdal_retile, but it's slow, and I don't really understand how
it works...
Any suggestion would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Attila

Any reason why not GROUP two layers together and set the scale
appropriate?

GROUPed layers are a bit different from normal layers. For instance it
seems I can't set keywords for grouped layers (No OWS_GROUP_KEYWORDLIST),
which is something I need for my application. I could probably change my
app to also work with nested layers but that looks like a lot of work. :-)

Hello !

I use PHP Mapscript (MapServer 5.0.2).

I do $oClass->setExpression("3NA"), then i save the mapfile.
The expression saved in the mapfile is "3"

Any idea ?

Can you try something like $oClass->setExpression('"3NA"')

That should fix it. The problem is that MapServer strings must start
with a alpha character. Otherwise
they must be quoted.

Attila,

Generally speaking Mapserver should already take advantage of .rrd
pre-built overviews.  If you want to confirm if GDAL (and consequently
MapServer) can see the overviews, run the gdalinfo utility on the base
file, and check the report of the individual bands to see if they have
an overviews list.

For example

gdalinfo image_col.img
...
Band 1 Block=64x64 Type=UInt16, ColorInterp=Undefined
   Description = Layer_1
   Min=232.000 Max=1024.000
   Minimum=232.000, Maximum=1024.000, Mean=335.990, StdDev=26.558
   NoData Value=65535
   Overviews: 692x600, 345x299, 171x148, 84x73, 41x35
...

This file has an .rrd ith 5 overview levels and they would be used
by MapServer as long as the .rrd file is kept with the .img file.

Best regards,

Hi Venkat.

I found this tutorial very useful:

http://www.paolocorti.net/public/wordpress/index.php/2006/09/20/mapserver-tu
torial-for-c-mapscript-asp-net/

It is exactly what you want, unfortunately it is not reachable now, maybe
a temporary server failure...

I made the same in php_mapscript, db was mysql. You have to do the porting:

___________________________________________________

// get the click point in pixel coordinates
// the imagebutton of the map is named "mapimg"
$clickX = $_REQUEST["mapimg_x"];
$clickY = $_REQUEST["mapimg_y"];

// create a pointobject and store coordinates in projected units
$ppPoint = ms_newpointobj();
$ppPoint->setXY(($oMap->extent->minx + ($oMap->cellsize * $clickX)),
                           ($oMap->extent->maxy - ($oMap->cellsize *
$clickY)));

// create a lat lon projection
$olatlonProj = ms_newprojectionobj("proj=latlong,ellps=WGS84");

// get the map projection
$osProj = $oMap->getProjection();
$omapProj = ms_newprojectionobj($osProj);

// project the point in EPSG 4326, latlon wgs84
$ppPoint->project($omapProj,$olatlonProj);

// insert
$sql = "INSERT INTO pushpins (lon,lat) VALUES ";
$sql .= "(".$ppPoint->x.",".$ppPoint->y.")";
$myconn = mysql_connect(mysql_host,mysql_user,mysql_pw);
mysql_select_db(mysql_db);
$res = mysql_query($sql);

// all done.
// only now redraw the map
$oImage = $oMap->draw();
$sImageUrl = $oImage->saveWebImage();
___________________________________________________


I hope this is useful

ciao

    I am new to Mapserver. I have some raster files(tiff). I cant place the
symbol within the created image. But legend is created. Somewhere I read
that raster layer does not support Symbol. And also [map] tag is not working
within HTML template. Error message is msEvalRegex(): Regular expression
error. String ([map]) failed expression test. .I got that SAVEMAP must be
switched on..But how ? I tried to send it via HTML hidden field but I did
not get.
Also if I write PROCESSING "BANDs=1 2 3" then error message is like
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'modis'.
drawGDAL(): Unable to access file. Attempt to classify 24bit image, this is
unsupported. I got that by default output image is 8 bit. So I tried to
delare Imagetype JPEG and also Proceesing dither =yes and also via  output
object .But ?? If I commented that line then image quality is very very bad.
And also I need MYSQL connection with raster file notes.


Please I need ur help........And I hope I will get response very soon......
Thank you.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Postgis query
Message-ID: <39f1dcdf0812020237v3d61bbc7q8155d34f88f03326@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All

I am trying to output a query from postgis using three tables and it
is not quite working.

First table is a quarter degree grid (spatial table)
Second table is a table with each grid cell id along with many species
id per grid cell
Third table is list of species

My query definition works well as the following (using two tables only)

select fid_1, the_geom AS the_geom, spcgrid.id as gid, spcid
from spcdensity
left join spcgrid on spcdensity.fid_1 = spcgrid.fid

This produces exactly what I want through mapserver, query a grid cell
and it returns a list of species within that grid cell

My problem is that I want to return a list of species names so my
query at present is defined as:

select spcid, spccommonname, fid_1, spcdensity.the_geom, spcid as gid
from spcgrid left join species on spcgrid.spcid = species.spcrecid
inner join spcdensity on spcdensity.fid_1 = spcgrid.fid

Although the query works when run in pgadmin, when I query a grid cell
I get a list of one species repeated. I am slightly confused as to
what I am missing here, can anyone provide me with some pointers?

Thanks in advance

Mark

Subject: [mapserver-users] OUTPUTFORMAT shapefiles instead of GML2/GML3 with
	WFS?
Message-ID: <49352922.5080603@knmi.nl>

Hi all,
Is it possible to configure mapserver in such a way that it returns 
shapefiles instead of GML from a WFS GetFeature request?
I would like to be able to output in GML2, GML3 and shapefiles... GML2 
and GML3 work fine.

The problem is that my GML files get very big, up to 60 megabytes, and 
my client applications (like ArcGIS) do not handle that very well.

Thank you,
Maarten Plieger

Hi Maarten,

no unfortunately not, there used to be talk about an OGR output driver, so
that any OGR (write) format could be written, but this was never
implemented.

Geoserver does have this functionality.

Would be nice to have this in Mapserver though.

Best regards,
Bart

Not that I know of.  Not out of the box.

Options:

- would compressing (gzip/zip) help at all?
- you could write a mapscript WxS wrapper (see
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wxs_mapscript) to intercept a
GetFeature request (say, catching outputformat=shape), and transform the
GML response to a shapefile.

I'm guessing folks have done similar things w.r.t. shapefile
clip/download functionality.

If you turn on statement logging in pgsql, you can see what SQL
mapserver is sending to pgsql. That will clarify if there is a way for
you to change your statement to get what you want, or if there's an
error in what mapserver is asking for, or an error in how mapserver is
processing what is returned to it.

Ques 1: Not sure how you get the regex error with [map]. That tag goes in
the html template (e.g. <input type=hidden name=map map="[map]">) but
note that it will only work IF you are setting "map" on the original call to
MapServer. 

Ques 2: SAVEMAP is not switchable, you'd have to edit mapserv.c and recompile.

Hello..

    I am new to Mapserver. I have some raster files(tiff). I cant place the
symbol within the created image. But legend is created. Somewhere I read
that raster layer does not support Symbol. And also [map] tag is not working
within HTML template. Error message is msEvalRegex(): Regular expression
error. String ([map]) failed expression test. .I got that SAVEMAP must be
switched on..But how ? I tried to send it via HTML hidden field but I did
not get.
Also if I write PROCESSING "BANDs=1 2 3" then error message is like
msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'modis'.
drawGDAL(): Unable to access file. Attempt to classify 24bit image, this is
unsupported. I got that by default output image is 8 bit. So I tried to
delare Imagetype JPEG and also Proceesing dither =yes and also via  output
object .But ?? If I commented that line then image quality is very very bad.
And also I need MYSQL connection with raster file notes.


Please I need ur help........And I hope I will get response very soon......

I guess the problem resides in the use of INNER and LEFT joins. Also, the order of the 
tables is important. The first tables specified in a query within the joins?must be the ones 
which stablish the records agrupation or discrimination.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Postgis query
To: mapserver-users at lists.osgeo.org

Hi All

I am trying to output a query from postgis using three tables and it
is not quite working.

First table is a quarter degree grid (spatial table)
Second table is a table with each grid cell id along with many species
id per grid cell
Third table is list of species

My query definition works well as the following (using two tables only)

select fid_1, the_geom AS the_geom, spcgrid.id as gid, spcid
from spcdensity
left join spcgrid on spcdensity.fid_1 = spcgrid.fid

This produces exactly what I want through mapserver, query a grid cell
and it returns a list of species within that grid cell

My problem is that I want to return a list of species names so my
query at present is defined as:

select spcid, spccommonname, fid_1, spcdensity.the_geom, spcid as gid
from spcgrid left join species on spcgrid.spcid = species.spcrecid
inner join spcdensity on spcdensity.fid_1 = spcgrid.fid

Although the query works when run in pgadmin, when I query a grid cell
I get a list of one species repeated. I am slightly confused as to
what I am missing here, can anyone provide me with some pointers?

Thanks in advance

Mark

You'd use the icon as a symbol like so:

LAYER
  NAME 'TheIcon'
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POINT
  FEATURE
    # This is where you specify position on the map
    POINTS x y END
  END
  CLASS
    STYLE
      SYMBOL "2.gif"
    END
  END

Unfortunately I get an error:

How can I pass in the x y?

Robert, 
 
I thought that I remembered posting an example to fix a similar issue
and went back into the archives to find it.  Funny thing, it was a
thread that you started!  The solution was to create the feature on the
fly through a URL configuration.  
 
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2008-September/057900.h

If you can use the URL vars in the points obj, that would be nice and
clean...
 
David.

Thanks very much David. I was just about to post a message that I had solved it. Last time I was dealing with annotation. This time a GPS point reprojected into x,y. This is what works:
 
Map file:

    # This is where you specify position on the map - using a default value
    POINTS 1748411 5427899 END

If you set the layer status to ON or OFF, your 'gps_point' layer won't
show up on the map (at the default, unintended location) until you add
the layer name explicitly in your URL call.

	Thanks very much David. I was just about to post a message that
I had solved it. Last time I was dealing with annotation. This time a
GPS point reprojected into x,y. This is what works:

	  STATUS DEFAULT

	  FEATURE
	    # This is where you specify position on the map - using a

	I thought that I remembered posting an example to fix a similar
issue and went back into the archives to find it.  Funny thing, it was a
thread that you started!  The solution was to create the feature on the
fly through a URL configuration.

If you set the layer status to ON or OFF, your 'gps_point' layer won't show up on the map (at the default, unintended location) until you add the layer name explicitly in your URL call.

Message-ID: <22166572.335261228291653482.JavaMail.coremail@bj163app69.163.com>

 Hi ,
I use gdalinfo to get the metadata of subdataset of hdf. However there is not any projection information. And I use shp2img.exe to show my mapfile of hdf raster data, there is just a gray area with nothing image, I do not know how to write a correct mapfile of hdf, maybe the projection is the problem. I wonder how can I get the projection information or how can I write the correct mapfile. Part of my mapfile is as follows:
The map level of projection I do not know how to define, so I do not define it.
LAYER NAME preview 
        DATA 
"HDF4_SDS:UNKNOWN:\DATA\AMOD021KM20060726040600\AMOD021KM20060726040600.hdf:0"        #DATA 'meteopreview.tif'
        DUMP TRUE
        TYPE         RASTER
        PROCESSING   "BANDS=1"

        PROJECTION

# I do not know the projection

Hi All

Many thanks to Paul with regards to enabling statement logging
(extremely useful to help find out what sql is being sent) and thanks
to Carlos for suggesting the joins.. this was the problem which I can
happily say that I have resolved. What an amazing combination of
software really, Mapserver and Postgis are great products..

Cheers to all

Mark

Pixmaps are raster symbols. However, only common graphics file formats are
supported: GIF/PNG8/PNG24/JPG. If you convert your TIF to one of those then
you can use it as a symbol and marker.

Subject: [mapserver-users] one to many issue
Message-ID: <5863BC6EA0494C498F8C7A389EF32E491CA785F2AE@BannerExg.banner.bannerbkgs.com>

I'm having issues with the one to many in the join.  I keep getting error message about the template.  The only example is for one to one.  I have not been able to find anything on the mailing list on this, but then I can't search the mailing list.  Is there an example of a template for the one to many?

thanks

Subject: [mapserver-users] join table to shape file before query
Message-ID: <5863BC6EA0494C498F8C7A389EF32E491CA785F2AF@BannerExg.banner.bannerbkgs.com>

I need to join a table with a shape file before I do a query.  I have a shape file with polygons and the table has info on the polys but the table could have multiple entries for each polygon.  I need to search on the table and then be able to zoom to the polygon for that entry in the table.  I have done the join but that is after the query and can only query the polygon but it doesn't have the info I need to search on.  is it possible to do the join first or somehow query the table and then relate back to the shapefile?

thanks

You have to use OGR to do this and not MapServer JOINs.

Subject: [mapserver-users] world vector shorelines shpfile - convert meters
	to DD in mapfile
Message-ID: <BAY117-DAV9DF906529F3FCF4D81427F9030@phx.gbl>

Hello,

Im a new mapserver user, and I don't really have any experience in GIS.

 

I have had success plotting the "World sub Country Administrative Units
1998" shapefile (admin98.shp), using DD units and lat/lon extents.

However, now I am trying to plot the following shapefile:

World Vector Shoreline

world_shorelines.shp

 

More information on this shapefile can be found here:

http://www.pdc.org/mde/full_metadata.jsp?docId=%7B32F5F3B8-1CF1-48C5-9B81-57
885C0CA448%7D

 

 

The problem is that this shapefile uses units which are in meters, and not
in decimal degrees.

However, my application calls for setting the map extents using lat/lon
values.

 

How can I use lat/lon (DD) units using this shapefile?

Will the shapefile need to be "reprofected"? if so, how can this be done,
and what should be the target projection?

Or, can this simply be configured through the mapfile (using the
"projection" directives?)????

Please help.

> The problem is that this shapefile uses units which are in meters, and 

Two solutions:

a) Use a PROJECTION block like this, to tell MapServer to reproject the 
data on the fly:

PROJECTION
    "init=EPSG:123456"
END

b) Reproject the data into DD using ogr2ogr:

ogr2ogr -t_srs EPSG:4326 -s_srs EPSG:123456 dd.shp utm.shp


Note that reprojection on the fly isn't a fast operation, so if your 
data is large or there's no need for it to be in meters (say, distance 
measurements between coordinates) you may prefer Option B.

Yes, 123456 was "whatever EPSG code corresponds to the projection your 
data is really using" I have no idea what projection that is; read the 
metadata to find out, and thumb through your PROJ's epsg file as well; 
that's usually /usr/share/proj/epsg for Unix.

I wasn't always GIS either; I'm still 90% sysadmin, security, and 
general programmer. :)

Subject: [mapserver-users] Legend Blur
Message-ID: <4937C5F1.208A.008D.0@forestrytas.com.au>

Hi MapServer Users,
 
I would like assistance with a problem I seem to be having after moving to the latest ms4w package which includes MapServer 5.2.
The problem I see is that map legends look somewhat blurry when embedded into the map (they look fine when status is simply 'on').
 
Has anyone experienced this problem before, or have any ideas as to what may be going on?
Some maps have less blurry legends than others, but all maps were previously working fine under MapServer 5.0, and on comparison it looks like the legends MapServer 5.2 is drawing are slightly squashed.
 
Below is an extract of one of the map files I am experiencing this problem with.
 
MAP
 NAME abc
 STATUS ON
 SIZE 500 500
 EXTENT 227154 5165779 627108 5614539
 UNITS METERS

 SYMBOLSET "symbols.sym"
 FONTSET "font.list"
 SHAPEPATH "C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/abc/data/"
 PROJECTION
  "init=epsg:28355"
 END
 
 OUTPUTFORMAT

  IMAGEMODE RGB
 END

 END
 
Many thanks in advance.

Bryn

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply and the tar ball with the shapefiles and map file.

I've tried your map file with the following test script.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use mapscript;

$req = new mapscript::OWSRequest( );
$req->setParameter( "SERVICE", "WMS" );
$req->setParameter( "VERSION", "1.1.0" );
$req->setParameter( "REQUEST", "GetCapabilities" );

$map = new mapscript::mapObj( "minimal_wms.map" );

$map->OWSDispatch( $req ); 

The error message I get is:
Can't call method "OWSDispatch" without a package or object reference at
./minimal_wms.pl line 14.

I'm pretty sure that setParameter has not set SERVICE, VERSION OR
REQUEST.

Any ideas?

Cheers - Justyna.

Your mapfile doesn't look to meet the minimum configuration requirements
for WMS. For example, there is no projection information defined. I have
a minimal WMS config example that I've attached for reference purposes.

Message-ID: <39f1dcdf0812040414j44b8033u8b31aceb2b0206f1@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all

I am trying to pass latitude and longitude coordinates to a postgis
query but I am getting confused. So far I have tried to use the
following DATA definition as follows:

DATA "the_geom FROM (select * from kbapoly where
st_distance(the_geom,GeomFromText('Point(%mapy% %mapx%)',4326)) <6) AS
myquery using SRID=4326 using unique gid"

where mapy and mapx are the mapserver X and Y coordinate of mouse
click. Alas this is not working and any suggestions or pointers would
be most welcomed,

Thanks in advance

Mark

The mapfile can't be found.  Try changing this line to:

$map = new mapscript::mapObj( "minimal_wms.map" ) or warn "mapfile
error: $!\n";

..and you'll see the error.

Try pointing to the mapfile fullpath?

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] need smart windows wms client
Message-ID: <20833074.post@talk.nabble.com>


Could someone suggest me a windows desktop application,
which allows to view mapserver 5.2.1 wms service responses
(custom output projection)  and correctly shows getFeatureResults (I use
html templates)
I've tried GeoMedia - it doesn't support getFeatureResults
Gaia 3.2.1 - empty getFeatureResults (only feature ID) (but it has extender
API)
QGIS is buggy (can't force using custom projection,
http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1166)
FME Viewer fails with unknown error...
Tatuk GIS Viewer - no getFeatureResults
Dapple - exception right after running))

next will be: ArcExplorer, Caris EasyView, CadCorp MapBrowser/Viewer(?) ...
Help me

Subject: [mapserver-users] Strategies for creating Google Map tiles...
Message-ID: <1228403270820-1613836.post@n2.nabble.com>


I'm progressing well with my MapServer learning and experimentation.  I'm now
at the point where I have to start doing some real development but have some
"strategy" questions and could use advice from you all with much more
experience.  I'm not looking for code, script, or anything other than basic
strategy and ideas at solving my problem.  Figuring out the code part of
this will be the fun part!  Of course, any existing examples would be
wonderful to peek at.

I have a variety of raster and shapefile maps in different scales.  They
overlap each other and do not fit well in a seamless way (like many DRG topo
maps do).  The borders aren't rectangular.  Some of the maps are not in a
north up direction either.

I need to make tiles compatible with Google maps out of this mess.  The
outcome needs to be the typical pyramid of tiles where each detailed zoom
level has 4x the number of tiles than the level above.

Here are the things I've considered strategy-wise:

1. Combine everything into a single map file and then let MapServer serve
the tiles (through TileCache).  I can then go through the area of data I'm
interested in and collect the tiles and save them.  The super advantage of
this strategy is that I can test it by having it serve the tiles live. 
It'll be slower than having them pre-computed and that isn't ultimately
acceptable because I'll need offline use of the tiles and won't have
MapServer.  Still, it allows for great testing before the tile collection
begins.  The disadvantage is that I fear I'll run out of space with hundreds
of raster maps and another hundred shapefiles (each with 20-30 layers).  I
fear I'd have to re-gen MapServer with all of the layers needed.  Back on
the plus side, it seems like MapServer will "quilt" the maps together
nicely.  This strategy has me scared about resource size and speed needed.

2. Turn each map file into its own set of tiles (perhaps a few zoom layers
on both sides of the natural scale of the map).  Tiles would need to be
transparent where they cut their border on the map.  Then write a separate
script (ImageMagick) to go through and merge together tiles from the same
locations to "quilt" them.  For each zoom level, the lower resolution tiles
would be drawn with the higher resolution tiles drawn over.  That would
create a final quilted tile for areas of shared location.

3. Create shapefiles of just the borders of each map.  Use MapServer to
serve up the tiles of those simple rectangles.  The result would show which
maps are actually in the individual tiles.  Then those maps could be tiled
and quilted (ImageMagick).  The trick is in figuring out a way to encode the
rectangles to point back to the original map data file of the source.  The
advantage of this is that it would seem to take advantage of the quilting
aspecs of MapServer but allow for quicker performance.  The disadvantage is
that it would be more complex.


Are there other strategies that I'm missing?  Certainly with so much map
data being overlaid on Google Maps, these issues must have been dealt with
before.  What else am I forgetting about?

Thanks for this forum.  I've learned a tremendous amount from all of the
postings.  Now I have to stop learning and start working!

These types of operations can be achieved via a Spatial database 
connection with MapServer.  The controls you are looking for can be 
incorporated into the SQL request. during the map making process and 
sent as xml output via a template.

Hi John,

I've had good success with Option 1, but I'm not sure I understand all of
the conditions you've mentioned.  I assume that you intend to display these
tiles in a Google Maps mashup when you're done?  If so, using  TileCache's
tilecache_seed.py would allow you to pre-generate the tiles using Mapserver
initially, and then display them in the map - without ever calling on
Mapserver again.  The major advantage I see to this method is that Mapserver
can aggregate all of the separate layers and display them in a common
projection.

Good luck,

Roger

Subject: [mapserver-users] Tileindex doesn't draw when changes mapserver
	version
Message-ID: <49380DC4.20605@deneb.biz>

Hi,

I?m using a set of separated DGN rectangular maps, joined together in a 
single tileindex shape file, in many projects and different mapserver 
versions and always works fine. Some days ago I tried to upgrade to the 
2.2.7 Mapserver 4 Windows (ms4w) version, with MapServer 5.0.2 and GDAL 
1.5.0 releases and now all tileindex layer drawings are empties (layer 
works in 5.0.0 ms version). There's no error messages or any 
mis-function with mapserver excepts that produce nothing. The output 
files are SWF flash movies. There's 74 DGN files and anyone is drawn if 
it is added in the mapfile as individual layer.

I think it's possible there is a bug error in somewhere, because how the 
map couldn't draw correctly just changing to a new server subversion.

greetings

jos? a.r.

Hi,

Putting in the full path to the mapfile makes no difference the same
errors occur.  Are the errors for setParameter a red herring?

Interestingly I've tried handing it both a valid map filename and a
filename that doesn't exist.  When the mapfile doesn't exist it reports
"Mapfile error: No such file or directory".  When the map file does
exist it doesn't report on the nature of the problem, but clearly it is
finding the file otherwise it would report "No such file or directory".
See below.  

Is anyone using perl mapscript to do WxS services on mapserver 5.2?

======================================
Using no.map, which doesn't exist
======================================
$ ./minimal_wms.pl
Cannot setParameter SERVICE: 
Cannot setParameter VERSION:

use mapscript;

$req = new mapscript::OWSRequest( ) or warn "Cannot create request:

$req->setParameter( "SERVICE", "WMS" ) or warn "Cannot setParameter

The mapfile can't be found.  Try changing this line to:

$map = new mapscript::mapObj( "minimal_wms.map" ) or warn "mapfile
error: $!\n";

..and you'll see the error.

Try pointing to the mapfile fullpath?

Message-ID: <000c01c956d3$1143bd30$33cb3790$@com>

Dear All,

 

  I want to assign  QueryMap or querymapObj for particular  layer in the
map. Is it possible ? I am using C# .net. or atleast  can I do something in
Mapfile ? Anyone has done the same task?

 

Please help me. I am waiting for your great response.

 

Thanks

I asked Justyna to send me a testcase.  I was able to reproduce the issue.

When I run the mapfile through shp2img, I get a projection not found error.  When I check MAP.PROJECTION, the value is "init=EPSG:26915".

The "EPSG" should be in lower case ("init=epsg:26915").  When this change is made, shp2img, and the Perl mapscript, runs fine

If you are running this off the command line, you have to set MAP.WEB.METADATA.ows_onlineresource (MapServer gets the default value from http environment variables, if not specified).

Can you try this and see if it works?

Hi,

Putting in the full path to the mapfile makes no difference the same
errors occur.  Are the errors for setParameter a red herring?

Interestingly I've tried handing it both a valid map filename and a
filename that doesn't exist.  When the mapfile doesn't exist it reports
"Mapfile error: No such file or directory".  When the map file does
exist it doesn't report on the nature of the problem, but clearly it is
finding the file otherwise it would report "No such file or directory".
See below.  

Is anyone using perl mapscript to do WxS services on mapserver 5.2?

======================================
Using no.map, which doesn't exist
======================================
$ ./minimal_wms.pl
Cannot setParameter SERVICE:

$map->OWSDispatch( $req );

The mapfile can't be found.  Try changing this line to:

$map = new mapscript::mapObj( "minimal_wms.map" ) or warn "mapfile
error: $!\n";

..and you'll see the error.

Try pointing to the mapfile fullpath?

Hi all! I've tried to draw some polygons using GRASS. That was done using  
vector>develop map> digitize . Using that tool I draw some "boundaries"  
and tried to export them to Postgres to have a PostGIS layer. But  
Mapserver returns nothing. I have some other layes of a LINE and POINT  
type, created in the same way, and they are understandable by Mapserver.  
What's the matter with Polygons type layer?

Mike, 
 
There are many people using MapServer for commercial projects, there are
no license restrictions on this.  
 
MapServer is just the 'engine' that produces maps, usually output as an
image file.  It doesn't come with any data.  
 
MapServer can be used to produce large images, they could then be laid
out in a document at 300dpi.  
 
David.
 
PS.  It is a little chilly this morning, but not enough snow yet...

	Hello.  We are a commercial printing company and have a customer
that would like us to produce dealer locator maps and print them on
postcards for a mailing to their customers.  I am looking for a
cost-effective way to do this in-house and, for philosophical reasons,
would prefer to use free/open-source software.  The MapServer project is
one such tool I am looking into, but before I get too far, I want to
make sure it meets our needs and that we could legally use it for this
purpose.  So, here are my questions:
	 
	1. Are there any restrictions on printing hard-copy maps for
commercial purposes?
	2. Is the data behind the maps up to date, or is it the older,
US Census data?
	3. Can MapServer produce at least 300dpi images suitable for
printing?
	 
	I have some limited experience with cartogrophy and GIS systems,
but I am sure there will be a learning curve to whatever tool we end up
using.  FWIW, I worked for the MN SHPO at the Historical Society back in
the early 90s mapping out the state's archaeological resources and
historic buildings, building a databse for a GIS to draw from.  Hope
you're enjoying the weather!
	 
	Thank you,
	Mike

You're gonna have to give a little more detail, for starters, the layer definition of the non-working polygon table.  Also, where does the failure occur?  You stated that you "tried to export them to Postgres to have a PostGIS layer" - did this attempt fail?

Jos?,

There was some changes to the how MapServer treats tileindexes after the 
5.0.2 release.  Can you upgrade to the latest MS4W (with MapServer 
5.2.1) and try again?

Jeff McKenna and I are working on another iteration of the MapServer  
documentation effort, and I thought I would give you a preview of  
where things are so we can solicit your feedback.  We would be most  
interested in your ideas about content organization.

http://mapserver.maptools.org

Additionally, a 600 page PDF (~2.8 mb) is available that contains the  
same contents as the website in a nice printable form http://mapserver.maptools.org/MapServer.pdf

- How can we improve the organization and documentation to help a new  
user coming into MapServer?
- Does this attempt actually improve the organizational situation?
- What documents does MapServer currently lack?  Please site specific  
examples, not just the generic "MapServer needs more docs!"  Is  
something just hard to find, or is it not written?

Hi List, I need some clarification:

Do I understand this ticket correctly:

>http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2739
>Rendering raster fonts with AGG may cause crash in mapserver

>I've noticed that rendering raster fonts when the character code falls
>outside of the 23-127 domain may cause crash in mapserver. The
>following patch provides a fix for the problem, however I consider this
>as rather a bug in the AGG libraries


This means that AGG has no ability whatsoever to deal with non-standard
non-ASCII characters such as ?,?, ?, ? ? Is it really impossible to
render vowels with accents, Umlauts, Sharp-S and so on with AGG? Then
why has AGG been included into the mapserver distribution in the first
place?

Or is there a clever trick to hack the makefile of the libagg (by the
way, building agg took way too long a time on my machine) or the
freetype libs.

mapserver-config --version; mapserver-config --includes
5.2.1
- -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/geo/include/agg2
- -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include -I/opt/geo/include
- -I/usr/include/pgsql -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/libxml2

Agg development seems to have stalled, doesn't it.

Hi,

Yes, you're right, the raster based text rendering capabilities are rather
limited, only a few set of predefinied glyps are selectable which cannot be
localized either. To define further characters you'll probably have to patch
something like agg_embedded_raster_fonts.cpp and define your own image
inside the code. But I don't think if it was a convenient way to do such
things locally.
However, I think you should be able to use the truetype fonts with agg to
display such fonts fairly well.


>

As far as I remember, there have been some efforts to take over some control
of the code in mapserver (at least for 2.4) and apply fixes if necessary,
but I'm not sure how do things stand in this topic at the moment.


Best regards.

Tamas

Coming out of nowhere and bitching on a project because you haven't
understood the extent of a closed bug seems to me a very impolite way
of introducing yourself and getting people to want to help you imho.

Now onto the points you're raising:
- as Tamas said, there's no support for accented characters *with the
embedded raster raster fonts*. Truetype fonts don't have this problem
provided you use/specify the correct encoding of your text.
- for the compile stuff, agg is mostly templated code which means that
most of the agg code itself has to be compiled each time mapagg.cpp is
compiled.

Sigh,
      One of the joys of email lists is that your ignorance  and undue
haste is displayed for  all to see.  In this case Mapserver 5.2.1 compiled
correctly , the "skipping incompatible" messages were just warnings that
the compiler was correctly skipping the 32bit libraries installed and using
the 64 bit libraries.  Sorry for the noise.

What does "it doesn't work mean"? What version of MapServer? What client are you doing the identify from? What does
the URL you're feeding to MapServer that doesn't work look like?

Hi to All,
I'd like build some simple web application. I'm looking for documentation to
learning some basic concepts over map server but it looks like too hard for
a new user without a specific background.

Someone can suggest me the easier way to start?

Thanks to all (and sorry for my English)

Regards

Edmondo

Ok, I'll try to be more specific. While exporting polygons into Postgres 
there are no errors, and mapserv + Openlayers return no errors while 
rendering this layer. It simply renders -nothing-, just a transparent PNG 
image. This is a layer definition:

The QueryMap parameters can only be specfied at map level at the moment.

Sorry, I didn't want to sound impolite or offensive but it took hours to
get to the point where I had a working mapserver implementation with agg
 libs included. On Solaris they need so many dependencies and have to
compiled starting with the gnu autotools because there is no configure
script. Then I had to patch the makefile because there are 2 stdc++ libs
on my system that gave me linker errors.
After all this I got mapfiles that are unusable because placenames with
accents can't be displayed.
Before, on the 5.2.0 release, I got incomprehensible errors that really
puzzled me because the default extent(s) on my mapserver project
contains umlauts of cause.
On Solaris truetype fonts aren't included by default but have to be
installed manually as well.
And I didn't find much end user documentation on the internet dealing
with installing and configuring mapserver with agg support at all. (I
doubt that many users have got it to work or let alone use it in
production). The ticket was the only thing that pointed me to the cause
of the problem.
Maybe things are easier to set up on the win32 Platform but I doubt it.
IMHO, building mapserver with agg support is really a task for the
advanced  and patient admins, or do-it-yourself end-users.
I think these are issues that should be included in the call for
feedback on the documentation effort that was mentioned in another mail
on this list, a few hours ago.

I think mapserver is rarely built by end users on win32 platforms. As
for the problems you point out on solaris, having done this myself,
I'd say the difficulty is building any opensource stack on that
platform rather than specifically mapserver. Getting it done on on the
more open *nix's is rarely a problem.

Support for Truetype fonts on my Solaris "box" seems to be shaky:

What I get is similar to this bug report (reported by someone else):

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6633698

sdtfontadm, sdtfontadd, sdtfontls crash on Solaris 10 08/07 Sparc and
X86 (and some on U3 sparc):

 /usr/dt/bin/sdtfontls /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType

Segmentation Fault(coredump)

Work Around  	
N/A

I don't have the time to investigate this myself.

Maybe I can get it done with a minimal fontset file created manually.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Adding a buffer symbol
Message-ID: <39f1dcdf0812080302n6f8c1a6ajc9148dfe921208be@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All

Having worked out how to display a selection of features within a mouse
click (passing the coordinates to postgis query) and colour coding these
using classitem for specified distances away from a mouse click e.g. within
1 decimal degree, within 2 decimal degrees and within 3 decimal degrees. I
am wondering how or if it is possible to create concentric circles
indicating the buffer distances?

Any ideas or pointers would be great!

Hi,

 

   I don't know  which programming language your using .I have vb.net code .
if you can share that code it is working for me (buffer).

 

Thanks

Hi Venkat

At the moment I am just using the CGI mapserver. I was wondering if this can
be done or ben achieved using Labels and symbols? but if needs be then I
guess either javascript or php would be used to do this.

Many thanks

Subject: [mapserver-users] wfs client question
Message-ID: <493D0964.9090208@gfz-potsdam.de>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I want to query a public wfs server for some data.
Internally, in my DHTML frontend, all lat/lon coordinates are handled in
geographic coordinates EPSG:4326.
However, the WFS server only accepts lat/lon values given with
particular BBOX parameters specified in EPSG:31468, presumably.

Hence, I think that before the making the request for the external WFS
data, I need to convert the geographic EPSG:4326 coordinates to
EPSG:31468 on the fly.

What is the best way to do this?

- - in javascript, on the frontend side?
  -- using ajax requests?
  -- or is there a recommended JS library for coordinate transforms?

- - or on the the wfs client side, i.e. where my mapserver cgi is hosted ?
Manipulating the cgi parameters somehow, before the request is sent out
to the WFS server?


Or am I did I get something wrong about the WFS specification?
This is the first time I interact with a WFS, so please help me out
someone...


Knut

Hi Knut,

Mapserver should be able to do this for you.

Just use wfs_srs "EPSG:31468" on your CONNECTIONTYPE WFS layer, and maybe
add a PROJECTION block as well on the LAYER:

  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:31468"
  END

On your MAP object you can use:

  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:4326"
  END

Mapserver should reproject the coordinates before doing the WFS request.

If you want to do this in javascript instead I would recommend using proj4js:

http://proj4js.org/

Best regards,
Bart

you could do that using a special layer in your mapfile, and using url
parameters to define the x,y of your click and the diameter of your
circle:

http://.....&map.layer[buffer]=FEATURE+POINTS+500000+1000000+END+END&map.layer[buffer].class[0].style[0]=SIZE+10

your "buffer" layer would be defined as

LAYER
 TYPE POINT
 NAME "buffer"
 CLASS
  STYLE
   SYMBOL "circle"   #circle symbol has FILLED FALSE
   COLOR 255 0 0
  END
 END
END

thomas

Edmondo,

Fear not.  The Mapserver demo application that comes with the basic
install is a nice overview of the basics of mapserver, myself (and I am
sure many, many other users) have been able to take that basic set of
components and cut and paste to get their own basic app.  As long as you
can get it installed, you should find the learning curve to be easier
than you suspect.

Hi to All,
I'd like build some simple web application. I'm looking for
documentation to learning some basic concepts over map server but it
looks like too hard for a new user without a specific background.

Someone can suggest me the easier way to start?

Thanks to all (and sorry for my English)

Hi Albrecht,
Just noticed a couple of things, firstly theres no 'service=wms' in your
request and secondly you have 'template 'query.html'' defined twice under
your layer. Also you might want to try adding the following to your layer.

Metadata
"ows_include_items" "all"
End

You need this othewise mapserver defaults to returning no attributes (you
can use wms_include_items as well for text/plain, but ows is a catch all for
text/plain and text/gml so is probably better to use)

Have a look at this link for a bit more info:

http://64.233.183.132/search?q=cache:VW7CHM-FHlQJ:www.mail-archive.com/mapserver-users%40lists.umn.edu/msg08063.html+ows_include_items&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6 


Just a couple of thoughts off the top of my head,

Cheers

Tom

Thanks guys, the on-the-fly transforms
seem to work now. Indeed,
the PROJECTION entries in the MAP and in the LAYER sections must be
specified exactly as Bart said.
And I'll also get a copy of the proj4js Library, it might come in handy
someday.

Subject: [mapserver-users] using precision within a label
Message-ID: <3D56274B4A7874468F58FADDBFD0980106777FA9@llmhs02.r8nssis.local>

Hello,

 

I would like to use precision within a label.  I already set up within the
html identify results [item name="TXDEED" precision=2] however it does not
work within the mapserver label.

 

This label does not work

            TEXT ( NORTHING [item name="NORTHING" precision=2]  EASTING [item
name="EASTING" precision=2])  #label

 

This label works

            #TEXT (NORTHING [NORTHING]  EASTING [EASTING])  #label

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] Problems with scalebar embedding and java mapscript
Message-ID: <20901440.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hi list 

I am experiencing problems with scalebar embedding 
after version 5.02 using java mapscript. 

Changing map extent, does not change scalebar values. 
Version 5.02 works properly. 
The error happens with version 5.20 and 5.21. 

If scalebar usage is changed after version 5.02, 
I thank you for any suggestion. 

Mauro 

This is a simple java mapscript program to reproduce the error: 

--------------------------------------------- 

System.loadLibrary("mapscript");       

//first extent: scalebar values are correct 
mapObj map = new mapObj("mymap.map");       
imageObj img = map.draw();       
img.save("mymap1.jpeg", map);       

//second extent: scalebar values are wrong 
//and are frozen to those of first image 
map.setExtent(300000, 4800000, 900000, 5200000); 
img = map.draw();       
img.save("mymap2.jpeg", map); 

//from this point on, changing map extent does 
//not change the original scalebar values any more 

--------------------------------------------- 

The following is mymap.map:

Subject: [mapserver-users] Difference in appearance between "mode=map" and
	WMS
Message-ID: <9c2015090812081202k70a30c20o941801cab2f8a8fd@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I think I'm having an instance of cranial flatulation, but maybe not.
Hopefully you can set me straight.

I need to create an image with Mapserver using mapscript that I can then
georeference manually and use in another application.  It needs to look
exactly the same as the image I can already generate via a WMS call that
looks like this:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/hydro/hydro.map
&SERVICE=WMS
&version=%221.1.1%22
&REQUEST=GetMap
&LAYERS=imagery
&STYLES=&BBOX=-125,39,-108,54
&WIDTH=600
&HEIGHT=600
&FORMAT=png
&SRS=epsg:4326

I'm testing my mapscript parameters using a simple "mode=map" call to
Mapserver, and the results I'm getting so far don't match the appearance of
the WMS output at all.  My mapfile has the following extent and projection
info in it:

  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:4326"
  END

  EXTENT -125.0  39.0 -108.0  54.0
  SIZE 600 600

In addition to the mapfile projection specification, I am also specifying
the same projection info in each of my LAYERS as well.

Is it possible to do what I'm trying to accomplish here?

Thanks,

Roger

Hi,

I guess would be that the WMS use non-square pixels. So if your BBOX x/y 
  (rectangle in your case) doesn't match you WIDTH/HEIGHT ratio (square 
in your case) the map will appear stretched. MapServer will actually 
stretch the map to fit the extent in the WIDTH/HEIGHT.

The mode=map don't do that. If your extent doesn't have the same ratio, 
it adds some degree in your extent to fit the size.

Make sure your BBOX and EXTENT are a square in your requests and retry

Hi Julien,

That makes sense, but it doesn't work.  I modified my mapfile so that I now
generate a 20_deg x 20_deg tile that is 600_pixels x 600_pixels.  If I
georeference that image using the extents, I still get incorrect placement.
Maybe if I choose an output projection which always has square pixels, like
spherical mercator (?) this will work.  I'll give it a shot.

Is there any way to give a WMS request via mapscript and NOT go through CGI?

Hi,

Did you try the other way around? Making the WMS request with a square BBOX?

Mapserver should return a valid image. Maybe others may help, I remember 
a bug of a 1 pixel error in some cases, but I don't remember what it was 
exactly.

Roger: you can use MapScript WxS http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wxs_mapscript as an approach to run a WMS request via mapscript.  Maybe that can work for you?

Hi Julien,

That makes sense, but it doesn't work.  I modified my mapfile so that I now
generate a 20_deg x 20_deg tile that is 600_pixels x 600_pixels.  If I

Maybe if I choose an output projection which always has square pixels, like

Subject: [mapserver-users] AGG renderer and paletted RGBA PNG's
Message-ID: <9c2015090812081446x2faec335h9b82368967253e0b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I'm seeing a problem in some of my raster data which have graduated color
ramps in them.  When using the AGG renderer, the data appears to have
discreet colors (which is incorrect), whereas with the GD renderer, we get
correct color gradients.

The GD outputformat looks like this:

  OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME 'png'
   DRIVER GD/PNG
   IMAGEMODE RGBA
   EXTENSION "png"
   FORMATOPTION "TRANSPARENT=ON"
   FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
   TRANSPARENT ON
  END #end outputformat


The AGG outputformat looks like this:

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME 'AGGA'
  DRIVER AGG/PNG
  IMAGEMODE RGBA
  EXTENSION "png"
  MIMETYPE "image/png; mode=24bit"
  FORMATOPTION "TRANSPARENT=ON"
  FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
END

In addition, the output image appears to have a color palette, instead of
being a  4-ch png.  Finally, the problem is present in WMS requests, but not
straight MODE=map requests.

My WMS request looks like this:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/hydro/hydro.map&SERVICE=WMS&version=%221.1.1%22&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=imagery&STYLES=&BBOX=-125,39,-108,54&WIDTH=600&HEIGHT=600&FORMAT=png&SRS=epsg:4326

Any ideas?

Perfect, yes.  That should do exactly what I need.  I'd forgotten about
those OWSRequests.  Tilecache uses those in its MapServerLayer requests as
well.

Thanks very much Tom

It's not a bug, just a difference in the extent models between MapServer
proper and WMS.
The MapServer WMS interface accounts for this difference in the code by
adjusting the
WMS extent to a MapServer extent. You'd need to make a similar
adjustment when doing
comparisons. A WMS extent is 1/2 a pixel larger all around (cellsize is
the same). The effect
is very subtle and most often not even noticeable.

Looks like the WMS request needs some additional parameters:

&FORMAT=image/png;%20mode=24bit

Can I add these into the mapfile instead?

I have a small problem with the scale. The numeric scale and the

Thanks

Subject: [mapserver-users] How to use MINSCALEDENOM & MAXSCALEDENOM with
	dynamic image size?
Message-ID: <493DBF85.8030906@nsidc.org>

Dear MapServer Users,
Defining a minimum and maximum scale denominator for a layer seems 
problematic to me when the resulting image size can be arbitrarily 
specified by the end user. For instance, doubling the image size (e.g. 
400px to 800px) on the same map will double the scale denominator (e.g. 
24,000 to 48,000)--a layer may display at one image size but not the 
other because of this. A more useful criteria would be to specify the 
minimum and maximum pixel size for a layer (e.g. 1 km and 5 km), which 
is independent of the image size. This must be a common problem for 
MapServer application developers since a WMS call requires an image 
width and height. Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? Or am I 
understanding things incorrectly? Thanks for any help!

Have you checked the RESOLUTION parameter. I think the default is 72 (based on dots per inch of older computer monitors). Maybe you should change this to 96 dpi, or whatever you monitor resolution is:
 
# default output image dimensions
 SIZE 512 512
 RESOLUTION 96

Roger,

I don't know if this would help, but I recently came across a similar
problem which was fixed by adding the processing directive to the
layer:

PROCESSING "RESAMPLE=NEAREST"

This fixed a problem when zooming in very close on a raster layer.
Apparently without this, mapserver changes the extent so that whole
source pixels are included and not split.

More here...

Cheers,

Adam

Hi Adam and Steve,

Thanks very much for the advice.  The thing is, the shift I'm seeing is way
more than 1/2 pixel on the edges.  I'm off by quite a few degrees actually.
I suspect it's as Julien thought earlier: I'm specifying an image size that
is not consistent with the geographic extents.  So I get back the number of
pixels I've requested, but force a larger area than want.  I guess what I'm
looking for is WMS logic, but without having to make a WMS request.

Thanks again,

Roger

The problem are the resolution as you say. I add the line (RESOLUTION
96) and now the scales match.

But if a user have a diferent resolution? We can know his resolution
monitors and them change the line???

Maybe someone better informed than me can answer. Is it possible to find out the resolution of the monitor using Javascript? Maybe you can then send the mapserv.exe CGI executable a parameter:
 
&RESOLUTION+72
 
or something.

Hi. I find a resolution to get the dpi.

The answer is in this forum topic:

http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=169369

Use a hidden css div and a width 1 inch. Then use javascript (or
other) to get the offsetWidth (in pixel). The number of pixel is the
dpi resolution.

I don know if is the best answer but works

IMHO that numeric scale values are useless from a display perspective. You simply can't know
what an appropriate RESOLUTION value is in all cases. The numeric values are useful for turning
layers on/off etc... but that's about it.

and now what happens if you're using a projector ? could you please
factor in the distance to the screen and the field of view of the
projector :)

just to say how scale is meaningless for pixel maps in an uncontrolled
environment.

nice hack by the way, but I'm not sure even your OS knows how many
pixels it can fit in a screen inch. I think gimp makes you measure a
line on the screen (with a real ruler) to configure that value.

Otherwise, you can install FGS Linux Installer to install MapServer and all

John,

I guess it might be the same problem that I've already addressed in
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2738

The related changes have already been applied in the development version
(SVN trunk) so you can test it.

Best regards,

Message-ID: <b38bd9d90812090419i1603a1cfh99cb765ede55316f@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,
I want to restrict at server-side level the wfs requests. This means that I
want to configure my mapserver to restrict for example the extension of a
request or the number of features returned. I tried it using wfs_maxfeatures
and wfs_extent properties of the METADATA field in .map file, but it does
not work if I put parameters bbox, and maxfeatures in the request.
Anybody knows what can I do?
Thanks, and sorry about my poor English :p

Hi There,

  I did a quick test and wfs_maxfeatures is working as expected with 
latest mapserver. How are you specifying it? something like this in the 
web metadata should work "wfs_maxfeatures" "8". Note that you do not 
need this metadata for the wfs maxfeatures parameter to work.

  wfs_extent is a metadata used at the layer level and setting it at the 
web level would not have any effect.

  Please refer to docs (http://mapserver.maptools.org/ogc/wfs_server.html)

Hi list,

I hope I can get some assistance on a matter of some urgency.? Our organization has been putting the finishing touches on an application that is supposed to be released by the end of the year.? Unexpectedly, it did not pass license review, because it used Geoserver, which is GPL-licensed.? Since Mapserver has a more permissive license, and is also WMS-compatible, the decision was made to switch to Mapserver.? It now falls to me, as the junior developer, to do?a last-minute?switchover.? Unfortunately I come to this task knowing nothing about either Geoserver *or* Mapserver.

After some difficulty I succeeded in getting Mapserver running on our existing Tomcat server, but I have not been able to figure out how to convert the Geoserver data.? I have made some?encouraging steps on the Mapserver tutorial but I still know nothing about Geoserver, and I am running out of time.? I need to solve this problem by the end of this week if possible, or by the end of next week at the absolute latest.


So, I have two questions:

1) Is there a utility I could download that can convert a Geoserver installation to Mapserver?

-- or --

2) I *think* (crossing fingers) that the only thing I need to do, on the application side, is to convert the following Javascript call...

var wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("World", "geoserver/wms?service=wms", {layers: 'countries', bgcolor: 0x000055});

...into its equivalent Mapserver call.? There are four countries.* files in the geoserver repository:

countries.dbf
countries.prj
countries.shp
countries.shx

How do I create countries.map to serve these files, and what mapserv.exe call should I use?


Many thanks for any and all assistance.

Justin

You might want to check the WMS Server howto doc, as well as the MapServer OGC Web Services workshop (http://ms-ogc-workshop.maptools.org/), which has examples of standing up WMS/WFS/WCS/SOS, etc.

>From the client side, you would have to change the base URL of the new WMS (assuming the layer names would be the same).

Justin,

I am not aware of such a converter.

This part will remain large the same with the exact "geoserver/wms?service=wms"
string changing a bit depending on the name you set your MapServer WMS as.

MapServer works with shapefile easily so these files do not need to be
altered.  You really need to try reading through the mapserver documentation
- particularly the new user resources and the basic mapserver tutorial.

Your case does not appear complex on the face of it, so you just need to
invest a day.  One of the books about mapserver might also be a workwhile
investment if you can get one quickly enough.

While I don't envy you being put in this position, what needs to be done
should be doable in a few days even starting from little knowledge of
the topic assuming the styling and other requirements are not complex.

Good luck,

Hi Justin,

  MapServer already supports shapefiles format as datasource ( .shp ).

  There is plenty of informations on MapServer website about how to 
create your mapfile : http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server

  Go and see the "3.3   Sample WMS Server Mapfile" section.  This should 
be a good start for you.

Hope this helps,

Alexandre

Since I see that you are on windows, if you want to work locally and 
need a nice little package (containing MapServer and things like an 
Apache web server ready to use and some demo apps) try the MS4W package 
("MapServer for Windows")...it's aimed at people like yourself (and 
myself) on Windows.  It might help you learn the .map file syntax faster 
by looking at one of the MS4W add-on packages in action.
You can grab it from maptools.org

Hi!

If you could provide the shape file, I could set up a complete and working
MapServer for Windows installation that only needs unzipping to the c:\
drive to work. The Map file will only contain basic styling of the file
(like boundaries and maybe country names if your dataset contains that
information). Changing the mapfile to add more complex drawing rules should
be quite easy. Just let me know if you'd like me to help.

It would be a great help if you could provide some information about the
coordinate system support that you need.

P?l Kristensen

Hi,

You should know by now that it is possible and easy to make a MapServer WMS service to deliver the same data that is now behind GeoServer WMS.  That is for sure true.  What I do not understand is why your organization thinks it is necessary.  If your application is using just GeoServer WMS interface no part or your own code will be contaminated by GPL. But it will be a refreshing experience to study a bit how a similar result is achieved either with MapServer or Geoserver.

I am using ESRI SDE layers in a Map file.  On some polygon layers, a
text label appears as a strange symbol, such as horizontal lines or a
square.  If I convert the same layer to shapefile and use it as a
source, the polygon labels look correct.

How can I correct this so the labels look correct using SDE layers?

Hi Mr. Kristensen,

Thank you very much for you offer; I would greatly appreciate your help.

The ZIP containing the shape file and other data is over 15 MB, so I will upload it using YouSendIt right after sending this post.? The coordinate system is?standard latitude/longitude; no need for MGRS or UTM or anything fancy.? The map should cover the entire globe..? Basic styling is fine; and the shape file should already contain the country boundaries.

Justin

P.S. To the others on this thread -- I feel I should correct a misconception.? I have already "invested" about three days in this project, one of which was spent just getting?mapserv.exe to run under?CGI.? I did not run to the mailing list as my first recourse; I am a firm believer that a person should put forth a best-effort attempt before asking for help.

(like boundaries and maybe country names if your dataset contains that
information). Changing the mapfile to add more complex drawing rules should
be quite easy. Just let me know if you'd like me to help.

It would be a great help if you could provide some information about the
coordinate system support that you need.

Hi Mr. Rahkonen,

Yes, that is why it was unexpected. :(? It is my understanding that the senior developer used this very same rationale, but the license reviewer did not want to take the chance.? And the legal guys outrank the developers.

Hi,

You should know by now that it is possible and easy to make a MapServer WMS service to deliver the same data that is now behind GeoServer WMS.? That is for sure true.? What I do not understand is why your organization thinks it is necessary.? If your application is using just GeoServer WMS interface no part or your own code will be contaminated by GPL. But it will be a refreshing experience to study a bit how a similar result is achieved either with MapServer or Geoserver.

Aihe: [mapserver-users] help with converting Geoserver site to Mapserver

Hi list,

I hope I can get some assistance on a matter of some urgency.? Our organization has been putting the finishing touches on an application that is supposed to be released by the end of the year.? Unexpectedly, it did not pass license review, because it used Geoserver, which is GPL-licensed.? Since Mapserver has a more permissive license, and is also WMS-compatible, the decision was made to switch to Mapserver.? It now falls to me, as the junior developer, to do?a last-minute?switchover.? Unfortunately I come to this task knowing nothing about either Geoserver *or* Mapserver.

After some difficulty I succeeded in getting Mapserver running on our existing Tomcat server, but I have not been able to figure out how to convert the Geoserver data.? I have made some?encouraging steps on the Mapserver tutorial but I still know nothing about Geoserver, and I am running out of time.? I need to solve this problem by the end of this week if possible, or by the end of next week at the absolute latest.


So, I have two questions:

1) Is there a utility I could download that can convert a Geoserver installation to Mapserver?

-- or --

2) I *think* (crossing fingers) that the only thing I need to do, on the application side, is to convert the following Javascript call...

var wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("World", "geoserver/wms?service=wms", {layers: 'countries', bgcolor: 0x000055});

...into its equivalent Mapserver call.? There are four countries.* files in the geoserver repository:

countries.dbf
countries.prj
countries.shp
countries.shx

How do I create countries.map to serve these files, and what mapserv.exe call should I use?


Many thanks for any and all assistance.

Justin

The column you are labeling with likely has unicode characters in it  
and there is a bug in the MapServer SDE code.   See this thread for

Thanks Howard.  Has anyone ever been able to find a workaround (besides
using shapefiles)?

We had this problem too.  When we load data into SDE we now use a UTF8
keyword so that the string columns use varchar type instead of nvarchar.

Cheers,

Message-ID: <f7bb15150812100420q55992055g1e4074bb7c179718@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

 from where I will get GIS raster data? Actually I got some tiff images(from
google snapshot)which has pixel extent (like 0,0,456,567). and using those
images I am creating  images. So obviously output will be same images. I
need some tiff raster data files with longitude latitude extent. Is it
possible to change the extent of pixels to long lat form?I know it is
possible to get geo coordinates from raster file with lat long extent.
Actually I want to calculate the lat long on any point of created image but
then I need to have lat long extent (as reference point) so that I can
calculate. Plz help me....
Thanks

Hi Justin!

I've recently uploaded (to YouSendIt) a ms4w archive with a predefined WMS
service based on the countries dataset (which is included in my archive).
Hope that it helps you in setting up your web applications.

Hi Carlos. The way that I know to make this, is use two layers with
same source data. One layer as polygon layer, and the other layer as
points, using centroids from first.

Subject: [mapserver-users] WFS: How to sort the WFS output in MS 5.x.x ?
Message-ID: <D1982C7C00C1DE409DDE5F9AB94C9E6AAC269A40EF@mail-back01.Regensburg.de>

Hi list,

until now I've been using mapserver 4.10.2 for generating wfs (for use with wfs-gazetteers). I determined the order of the wfs-output with the ORDER BY clause of the DATA-statement.

Example:
DATA 'the_geom from (SELECT the_geom, fid, str_name, haus_nr, haus_nr_zusatz, str_such_string, ... FROM stgk_hausnummern ORDER BY str_name,haus_nr,haus_nr_zusatz) as foo using unique fid using SRID=31468'

The result:



Changing the ORDER BY - clause caused changing the sort order of the output.

==============================================================

Using mapserver 5.2.0 and mapserver 5.2.1 the ORDER BY - clause has obviously no effect. The wfs - output is always sorted by sort order given from attribute fid.
Fid is the feature-id and implemented  in the database as a unique-constraint.

Is it possible to change the sort order in mapserver 5.x.x too?
Has anybody a tipp for me, how this could be done ?

Thanks

Schoenhammer Herbert

P.S.

The generated urls are looking like:
http://myserver/cgi-bin/getows?map=/data-umn/wfs/rgb_wfs_adressen.map&REQUEST=getFeature&Typename=adressen&Version=1.0.0&service=WFS&filter=%3Cogc:Filter+xmlns:ogc=%27http://ogc.org%27+xmlns:gml=%27http://www.opengis.net/gml%27%3E%3Cogc:PropertyIsLike+wildCard=%27*%27+singleChar=%27.%27+escape=%27!%27%3E%3Cogc:PropertyName%3Estr_such_string%3C/ogc:PropertyName%3E%3Cogc:Literal%3E*MARTIN*%3C/ogc:Literal%3E%3C/ogc:PropertyIsLike%3E%3C/ogc:Filter%3E

Message-ID: <49dc012b0812100617x492f46dbma9d7906036b53de@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I have a question concerning how to draw starting and ending points of
line features.
One option is to create a separate points layer in ArcGIS, where all
the starting and ending points of lines are in.
But is' t there some better solution or workaround how to get things done ?


Humbly yours,
Raivo

Using "Postgis" as data store, let you get the start and end points
from line geometry with something like:

DATA "geom from (SELECT oid,StartPoint(the_geom) FROM line_layer) as
foo using unique oid using SRID=-1"

And for end points:

DATA "geom from (SELECT oid,EndPoint(the_geom) FROM line_layer) as foo
using unique oid using SRID=-1"

See:

http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-1.3/ch06.html#id2572496

I do not know ArcGIS. Maybe there is something similar to this.

rfc48 has just entered the mapserver trunk, and will be present in 5.4

to apply a style block to just the start point, you'd use something like

STYLE
 GEOMTRANSFORM "start"
 SYMBOL "mysymbol"
 SIZE ....
 ANGLE AUTO #to orient the symbol along the first segment
END

you also get the "end" and "vertices" geomtransform to apply the style
to last or intermediate points of the line.

cheers,
thomas

Subject: [mapserver-users] how to throw a custom ExceptionReport
Message-ID: <97FDCEA6D905154D94E20D02312C8A310C13EDDAB7@mse18be1.mse18.exchange.ms>

Hi, all.  I intercept WMS calls on a regular basis using Perl CGI and a final print redirect('mapserv?...'); to actually send the WMS request along.

I have the case where I'd like to throw a custom ExceptionReport, but I haven't had much luck so far in getting mapserver not to misunderstand it and throw its own WMS ServiceException.

What I'm trying to do is to communicate to the user, "Hey, you've asked for a file I don't have."

So what I have is an incoming WMS request.  I snag the request, try to find a matching file.  If I find it, great, I send the image generation request along and pass it back thru.  If it doesn't, I'd like to spit out the XML message.

I copied the structure of a mapserver msg and tried making it my own.

print $query->header('text/xml');
print <<EOH;
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE ServiceExceptionReport SYSTEM "http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/wms/1.1.1/exception_1_1_1.dtd">
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
<ServiceException>
Sorry, Charlie, you're out of luck.
</ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>
EOH
exit;

But I think I'm confusing myself of how my error messages interface w/ mapserver's.

Thanks for any advice.

You can use Perl mapscript WxS to intercept and return a custom
exception.  Check out
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wxs_mapscript for info and
examples.

Hope this helps.

Funny, I remember that link flying by recently.  Thanks, Tom, I'll give that a shot.

Tom, I've thought about this long and hard, and I can't wrap my head around it.

> You can use Perl mapscript WxS to intercept and return a custom
> exception.  Check out

It looks like those examples are doing what I'm doing in the end . . . dumping out XML.  But perhaps what I need accomplished is a bit trickier?  I don't think I explained in enough detail what I'm doing.

I have a .map that contains something like:

# demo.map
  LAYER
    NAME wind_wave_period_and_direction
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4269"
    END
    TYPE RASTER
    STATUS OFF
    CONNECTION "http://localhost/viz"
    CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
    METADATA
      "ows_title"           "wind_wave_period_and_direction"
      "wms_extent"          "-100 5 -60 50"
      "wms_srs"             "EPSG:4269"
      "wms_name"            "ww3dir_info"
      "wms_server_version"  "1.1.1"
      "wms_format"          "image/png"
      "wms_connectiontimeout" "90"
    END

So what I'm really doing is a cascade WMS request because I'm asking that .amp for the wind_wave_period_and_direction layer.  http://localhost/mapserv?map=demo.map.

The thing that I need to throw the error is the viz CGI in the CONNECTION string above.

So perhaps my question boils down to . . .

What could viz spit out so that this WMS request would know it sees an error via something like EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage?  What I'm getting now, instead, is the MapServer error saying that the WMS returned an XML exception.  Well, yes, it did -- but I want to SEE it!  :)

TIA.

Looks like Charlton wants to show the ExceptionText from a remote WMS's
service exception.

I'm not sure you can do this as it stands right now without some custom
work.  Options/comments:

- you'd have to ensure the remote WMS support application/vnd.ogc.se_xml
- can you catch an error when doing a remote WMS request from the
mapscript object model?

Others may have better ideas.

Having said this, I think this would be a valuable enhancement to the
codebase, i.e. allowing to show cascaded ExceptionReport XML.  The
ExceptionReport XML model allows for multiplicitity of Exception
elements, so we could stack these to show the generic MapServer error,
as well as the cascaded, say, WMS Exception/ExceptionText.

With 5.2 and earlier you can't do this with one layer. You have to use one polygon layer
and one annotation layer.

The next version will allow these types of transformations at the style layer (see the recent
discussion on end points). The code is in the main trunk if you're feeling adventuresome.

Mr. Kristensen,

Brilliant!  That was exactly what I needed.  A correctly written mapfile was the last remaining major obstacle, and your installation helped me get through that as well as a bunch of other minor problems.  Thanks so much!

I will also be checking out the links and recommendations from other people in this thread, since I have a small bit of time remaining on this task.  Many thanks.

Justin

Hi Justin!

I've recently uploaded (to YouSendIt) a ms4w archive with a predefined WMS

	Layer based on user click on map
Message-ID: <001b01c95b44$1ade2680$509a7380$@com>

Dear All,

 

  How to add different types of PIXMAP Symbols to point layer based on user
click on the map. At present I can able to assign only single pixmap symbol.

 

Below is my code to load single symbol.

 

This is my mapfile code

 

Layer # Layer starts here

  Name "PointLayer"

 

 #======================== POSTGRE SQL Server Connection
============================================

  ConnectionType POSTGIS

  Connection "host=localhost dbname=GIS password=administrator user=postgres
port=5432"

  Data "the_geom from globalnews"

 
#===========================================================================
========================

 

Type POINT

  Status ON

   TEMPLATE "query.html"  # temporary template file for Query map

End # end of the State Layer

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

 

 

And here I am loading  C# code

 

            public static void LaodStyles(mapObj map,layerObj layer)

            {

                

                layer=map.getLayerByName("PoinLayer");

               

                symbolObj getSymbol = new symbolObj("Symbol", null);

 

                getSymbol.type = (int)MS_SYMBOL_TYPE.MS_SYMBOL_PIXMAP;

 

                getSymbol.setImagepath(@"\RIP\MapFile\round_push_2.gif");

 

                getSymbol.sizex = 100;

 

                getSymbol.sizey = 100;

 

                map.symbolset.appendSymbol(getSymbol);

 

                classObj clsObj = new classObj(layer);

 

                clsObj.name = "test";

 

                styleObj symStyle = new styleObj(clsObj);

 

                symStyle.symbolname = "Symbol";

 

                symStyle.symbol = map.symbolset.index("Symbol");

 

                symStyle.size = 75; 

                

            }

 

 

 

Please any can help me or at least suggest me something.I am waiting for
your great response.

 

Advanced Thanks.

 

Regards

Venkat.

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] WMS: layer status turned to on
Message-ID: <20952698.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hi list,

I have a question concerning the behaviour of Mapserver when acting as a WMS
server. We have a web mapping application rendering roads and landcover
information for all Europe. As the dataset is pretty huge, we have to use
multiple, scale-dependant mapfiles. This was necessary because most of the
data had to be generalized to improve performance at small scales. The
layers with the same name in different mapfiles therefore use different
geometries and some of the layers aren't used in all mapfiles. For example,
the biggest layer, containing the local roads, is only used in the two last
mapfiles, at a very large scale.

I was asked to make the data available as a (demo) web mapping service. To
do this, I added, in our application, a servlet that would pass the request
to MS, calling different mapfiles while the scale changes. In order to be
able to answer the GetCapabilities request, a dummy mapfile had to be
written, containing all the layers that were used across the other mapfiles.
This forced me to also add the 'missing' layers in each mapfile.

For example, the local roads layer had to be added to the smaller scale
mapfiles. The status of those additional layers was put to OFF, but the MS
apparently turns the status to ON when the whole mapfile is requested (WMS
request --> LAYERS=mapobject_name). As a workaround, to not have the other
layers displayed, I deleted the class objects in the additional layers, but
MS logically has to prepare the whole layer for display anyway, resulting in
horrendous drawing times at small scales. When the single layers are
selected in the request (LAYERS=country,highways,...), the map will draw
very fast.

So my question is, is there a way not having the layer status turned to ON
when the 'root' WMS layer is selected? Or maybe there is another way to tell
MS to not prepare those layers? As the mapfiles and data structure are very
complex, setting up dummy (empty) data for each layer would take quite a
long time.

I know the whole thing isn't very clean and thoroughly thought through, but
it had to be completed very fast and that was the best solution I came up
with. If some of you have ideas on how to improve it, I would be very glad
to listen to your suggestions.

Best regards,

Philippe Kruschitz

PS: We're using Mapserver 5.0.0

This is my final post on this subject, just to end this topic on a
positive note.
Although the font management tools on solaris 10 release 08/07 always
dump core after a few keystrokes and button clicks, Solaris' truetype
fonts themselves are okay. On the machine can alternatively be
determined with a unix "find /usr -name "*.ttf"  command. Add a few
other perl one-liners to create a fontlist file which can be used with
the mapserver FONTSET directive.

Arial-Bold	   /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/Arial-Bold.ttf
Arial-Italic	   /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/Arial-Italic.ttf
Arial	   /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/Arial.ttf
....

When truetype fonts are used (instead of agg's built-in raster fonts) in
the layers/mapfiles, then the agg renderer works properly.

Using MINSCALEDENOM and MAXSCALEDENOM could resolve your problem. Set 
MINSCALEDENOM to 1 to the layers you don't want to show in the dummy 
layer. I'm not sure if that's what you want though, maybe you could 
share a small portion of your mapfile.

An other long solution you could do is to merge all your mapfiles in one 
big mapfile and using MINSCALEDENOM and MAXSCALEDENOM, determine which 
layer is displayed. Layers from the same data source that has been 
generalized would then have a unique name, but you could use GROUP and 
use the group name to call your layers in your requests.

What do you think ?

Hi,,

  How I will get raster data with lat long extent (free)? I have one map

Actually what I done ....I simple created a hyperlink from my jsp page to

application as well as mapscript application. Mapserver is cgi based.....and
tomcat????????(using diff port)   Please anybody can explain why it is
working fine................


Please tell me how I will get the lat long extent from pixel extent(like
0,0,234,345) .....I think it is not possible at all....................But I
want to be sure..........
Plz reply me soon............................I am  very new mapserver

I am facing a similar problem.  In my case, though, I would like the layers in question to default to Status Off, not for scale reasons, but simply because we don't want the layers displayed by default.  The individual layer files are set to Status Off, but when the WMS service is loaded into, for example, ArcGIS, the layers are on by default.

Using MINSCALEDENOM and MAXSCALEDENOM could resolve your problem. Set 
MINSCALEDENOM to 1 to the layers you don't want to show in the dummy 
layer. I'm not sure if that's what you want though, maybe you could 
share a small portion of your mapfile.

An other long solution you could do is to merge all your mapfiles in one 
big mapfile and using MINSCALEDENOM and MAXSCALEDENOM, determine which 
layer is displayed. Layers from the same data source that has been 
generalized would then have a unique name, but you could use GROUP and 
use the group name to call your layers in your requests.

What do you think ?

Is possibly to convert image coordinates to geographic coordinates.
Almost with some scripting.

This python code maybe useful:

# convert image coordinates (xy in pixel)  to geographic coordinates
(in map projection)
def MapPix2Geo(nPix, map):
   n_pointc= mapscript.pointObj()
   dfDeltaX = map.extent.maxx-map.extent.minx
   dfDeltaY = map.extent.maxy-map.extent.miny
   n_pointc.x= map.extent.minx + (nPix.x*dfDeltaX)/map.width
   n_pointc.y= map.extent.miny + ((map.height-nPix.y)*dfDeltaY)/map.height
   return n_pointc

If map projection is other than lat-lon, you need one more conversion:

# convert coordinates from map projection (planar xy)  to geographic
coordinates (lat lon)

def convertToLL(nP, map):
  p1 = pyproj.Proj(map.getProjection())
  p2 = Proj(init='epsg:4326')
  result = pyproj.transform(p1,p2,nP.x,nP.y)
  return result

Hi All,

I'm curious what options have been explored to create tick marks, graticules
and outside-of-map symbology?  I'm currently investigating the use of
Matplotlib as a compositer to draw on top of a Mapserver-generated image,
and while I think this will give nice looking results, the speed of the
process is quite slow, probably because Matplotlib deconstructs the
Mapserver image with PIL and works with it as a numpy array.

I'm interested in hearing about any other tools that allow for the same sort
of "drawing on top of" strategy, preferrably ones with API's.

Thanks,

Roger

Roger, 

While it's not really "Drawing" perse, we use the GeoMoose interface to
do this type of printing, since the GeoMoose interface abstracts out all
it's map layers as separate calls, there is quite a bit of functionality
available for stacking of imagery, particualrly for plotting.

We do use a somewhat complicated method of server side assembly of the
separate image calls via their respective MapFiles.  We generate a
composite image and send to Image or PDF out.

This eased the labor related to printing quite a bit for the larger
percentage of users.

We don't have the specific capabilities that you are looking for in the
interface, but it has come up for discussion on more than one occasion. 
There are plans siiting around related to building a user Print Canvas
for example to give the average user the control of output as you
describe.  Our immediate need is for adding USNG overlays to print outs
for emergency Management and situational awareness.

Hello,

I'm doing a simple spatial query:

This returns my layer's specified template when datasource is shapefile or

get this query result:

Content-type: text/html

Mapserver renders the data from SQL Server in a map just fine.   I'm using 
Mapserver 5.2.1 from MS4W 2.3.1

Is anyone able to get query results from SQL2008?

Roger,

  I asked a similar question last year (http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2007-September/002349.html).

  Landon Blake and I (and others) came to the conclusion that the answer was to create a "map surround" library suitable for wrapping as a plug-in to various generic publishing/compositing applications (such as Inkscape, Scribus, ReportLab, etc) and possibly some desktop GIS apps (uDig, Quantum, gvSig, OpenJump, etc).

  While I still believe that's the ultimate answer, I find myself going back to Mapserver's mappdf.c (and mapgraticule.c, etc), and speculating on enhancements to give Mapserver the capability right out of the box.

Brent,

We basically came to the same conclusions, although I think there is
also the potential for combining seamless overlay with the surround
method as well.  I still keep looking inside of MapServer too, but just
can't seem to come up with a flexible method of building anything.

The surround method is on my list, but it's down a ways.  :c)

Bob,

  My thought is to have a core set of generic functions to calculate the location of the graphic primitives (points lines, polygons) given the specification parameters for a surround object.   For example to get the graphics for a graticule, call:

graphicPrimatives *SurroundCreateGraticule( polygon *mapShape, srs *mapSRS, gratSpec *MyGratSpec);

These functions would do the hard work, and be portable (C? C++?), maybe even Swig-able.

These would likely be wrapped in a application-specific function to make the results consumable to the application (Mapserver, Scribus, etc).  For MapServer, this might be a loop in a msSurroundLayerNextShape function to iterate through the graphic primatives.  Hopefully the application would know what to do with the graphics (render to the page, etc).

And we'd likely need a set of functions to populate the parameter structures (containing tick length, font size, etc).  


Just some random architecture thoughts...

Hi Bob and Brent,

That was a great thread to dig into, thanks for sending me the link.  I'm
guessing that Mapserver wasn't originally developed with the intent of
acting as an engine for cartographic quality, paper, map production.  The
fact that it's capable of generating images of such high quality that I'm
considering its use for exactly that purpose really says something about the
quality of the development effort that has gone into it.  Kudos to all who
have contributed to the project.  I really love it as a tool, and I enjoy
working with it.

I myself use (or am attempting to use) Mapserver for 2 completely disparate
tasks.  One use is to drive a web-map interface, and with that I have no
issues whatsoever.  The other is to create map graphics which are included
in printed reports.  Although the data shown is similar in both cases, the
paper use-case is definitely more difficult to implement and has it's own
unique requirements.  As Brent said in one of his posts, "a map without a
graticule, scale bar, and projection statement, (with parameter values!) is
just a diagram".  I would add a legend to that list as well, and Mapserver
can generate all of those things relatively well.  However, as is true with
all projects, the 80/20 rule is biting at my heels here.

To give some background to the problem, the requirement I'm working from is
to generate graphics that look as good, or better, than those which are
currently being generated with GMT (Generic Mapping Tools).  For those of
you who haven't tried GMT, it is capable of some pretty fantastic looking,
print-quality maps.  However, its use in an automated system is somewhat
difficult, and it lacks some of the flexibility in data access, cartographic
styling, and labeling which Mapserver has.  It also lacks an API.  Although
I doubt we will ever fully replace GMT in the creation of one-off's, I think
there is a good case to be made for replacing it with another tool for
automated, and menu-driven map creation.  The problem is that GMT "does it
all".  Without going into all of what GMT can do, here are a few of the
things that it does which I haven't been able to find an easy way to
implement with Mapserver.

1) Rendering of raster features based on the input of an array of
regulalry-spaced points with X,Y,Z values.
2) Raster symbolization using color gradients, as opposed to just discreet
colors.
3) Creation of color bars (legend) to show the values in a raster data set.
4) Graticule tick-marks on the edges of the map frame.
5) Inclusion of a map title.
6) Inclusion of text to describe the map.

So far, my solution seems to be similar in concept to what others appear to
be doing - I do these things outside of Mapserver.  Items 1 and 2 are taken
care of by the creation of a display-ready GeoTIFF with gdal.  3 - 6 are
still being worked on, but at the moment are being dealt with by loading the
Mapserver image into Matplotlib, then adding "decoration".  Although this
works, it seems a bit klunky to do these with 3 separate tools, especially
given the nice job Mapserver already does with other things that are very
similar in nature.

Having said that, please don't flame me!  I'm finding workarounds to solve
the problems I'm having.  I just want to add my voice to those who have
already expressed an interest in extending some of the "decoration"
functionality in Mapserver.  And yes, I also know that other tools (such as
GRASS) can do this, but that's not the point. ;)

Thanks again to all of you who have worked to make Mapserver such a great
tool.

Roger

Hmm, dunno...

No, but I'm thinking about it.  Actually, using my Polygons-as-a-margin layer trick twice might work.  
Render your map layers then "blank out" the four sides of your map (they're in pixel coords so adjust as necessary):

SIZE 800 600
	:
LAYER
  NAME "Margin"
  TRANSFORM FALSE
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POLYGON
  CLASS
     COLOR 255 255 255
  END
  FEATURE
     POINTS 0 0 0 600 70 600 70 0 0 0 END
     POINTS 70 0 70 70 800 70 800 0 70 0 END 
     POINTS 70 600 800 600 800 530 70 530 70 600 END
     POINTS 730 70 730 530 800 530 800 70 730 70 END
  END
END

then render your graticule lines (via another LAYER), then use the above technique only offset a pixel or two to clip back the graticule lines to look like "tics",  then render a layer of graticule anno.

Crude but it might work.

Yes you can.  Use a LAYER with TRANSFORM FALSE and an in-line FEATURE:

  LAYER
    NAME title
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TRANSFORM FALSE
    TYPE ANNOTATION
    FEATURE
      POINTS 4 396 END
      TEXT 'This is a Great Map!'
    END
    CLASS
      LABEL
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        FONT arial
        SIZE 8
        ANTIALIAS
        COLOR 255 255 255
        POSITION UR
      END
    END
  END


Good luck,
Brent

Brent,

Hmm, heavy handed way of going at it, but it seems like it could work, 
might be a bit laborious to set up initially.

Sounds good enough to experiment with anyway.

BTW, does anyone know of a way to label a line and justify the label to 
the edge of the map (other than planting things by pixel values) with 
MapServer?  Also, in my last go around with this stuff, the option of 
adding inline styling to a text string would be fairly valuable here as 
well, Super/Sub-scripts stuff mainly.

Hi All, 

 

Frustrating problem I know.  I eventually fixed it as below;-

 

<snip>

 

 

http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?TopicName=Language_suppo
rt_in_the_geodatabase

 

      You need to set UNICODE_STRING "FALSE" using sdedbtune, then when you
load your data it will be just plain old text that mapserver does not have a
problem with.

 

</snip>

 

Remember to do the stddbtune _before_ you load your data though, if it is
already loaded pump it out to shapefiles, sdedbtune and then reload is fine.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Labels with SDE data

 

I am using ESRI SDE layers in a Map file.  On some polygon layers, a text
label appears as a strange symbol, such as horizontal lines or a square.  If
I convert the same layer to shapefile and use it as a source, the polygon
labels look correct.

How can I correct this so the labels look correct using SDE layers?

Hi
Jos? Mar?a Michia I cant understand whats wrong with my msg....why u did nt
understand my query...Actually what I am trying to say that........I wrote
one jsp application.as well as mapserver application in which I used
phpmapscript..Both are different modules. Now I want to integrate both of
these. What I have done is that I created one link (with anchor tag) from
jsp page to mapserver page.( Both are using different port. )It works fine.
my question is that why it is running.. I thought that mapserver executable
file is CGI based ..and to do integration with tomcat CGI servlet must be
required. Actually whats happen is according to me , both are differnt
server...and when I run my jsp 1st server with a port is running and then
when I called mapserver from jsp it mean that I am saying tomcat to stop and
listen an another server with differnt port . its like one executable file
is called from one application.....and I am getting output.but someone told
me that it should not be run  because of cgi ..........I did not
get......that s why I am asking that please let me clear about
this..............


And regarding my 1st question u suggest one function............which I
already wrote in PHP.(given below)......but I think u did not get this
question also.....Actually I have several pictures(not raster data)  which I
taken from google snapshot......but their extent is
(0,0,456,567size=456X567)(0,0,567,657) like that......Look, all images have
minx and miny 0.....so how I will convert this one to lat long form....or
from where I will get lat long data.....I hope now u will get........and
reply me soon..........

Thanks...........

Ohh yes.. I understand. You need some control points. With control
points, you need some program for warping the images.

A  control point, is a point to which you know:

- coordinates on the image (pixel, google capture, 0-456,0-467)
- coordinates on a geographic system (ie lat lon)

Maybe is possible to acquire data for control point coordinates during
capture of google snapshots.

Maybe exists a better approach, is needed more detailed analisys of the case.

English is hard to me, don't worry when I am confused, . Sorry.

Message-ID: <a37ffbf90812120103g2db0cf8di39387df34f75630@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all.

I have a mapfile, with some layers, with labels. I wish to use two
differents fonts, "arial" and "times". I have the two fonts as tff.
All work fine when I use shp2img utility program for make PNG files.
But, when I change output format to PDF, the text that must be in
times font, appears in other font (a Sans variant). I've opened the
PDF in Acroread and Inkscape, with same results.

I'm using:

Linux Gentoo
Mapserver 5.2.1 from sources

"Sans" is nice font, and I happy with the map produced, but I wish to
know what happens. (I need "PDF files", and not "PNG files", because
the final maps are hardcopy maps).

Thanks for any advice.

Saludos

Hi,
 
Are there any effective tricks for making MapServer to Top-Fuel class?
We have now a typical ms4w installation on a rather good server platform
with SCSI drives and 2 four-core processors running on Windows 2003
server. Our images are tiled, uncompressed geotiffs with overviews,
vector sample data set is shapefile with shptree index.  I have a
shortened epsg file and my mapfile is extra short. Bandwith is not the
limit. We are getting out now about 450 orthoimage pictures per minute
(size 500 by 500 pixels) and 550 pictures from the vector layer in png24
image format.  I consider that rather good, but we are required to reach
20 images per second, thus 1200 images per minute or 0.05 seconds per
image.  I wonder if anybody has tuned MapServer that far.
 
I am willing to try however exotic solutions to reach the 20 WMS output
images/second goal if somebody could suggest me what to try next.  In
our system there seems to be about 0.1 second ballast with WMS getMap
requests and I cannot get any faster response even if I try with on
empty data layer with nothing to render.  Have anybody tried to keep
mapfile,  epsg-file or even tileindex files in RAM drive?  
 
Having about 20 parallel users seems to be optimal for our server and if
I drive just WMS getCapabilities request against my mapfile I can get
about 1300 responses per minute.  That leads me to think that 1200
rendered images per minute might be possible to reach with optimal
set-up.

Try using Fast CGI, it should improve your latency problem you are
seeing.  It is also possible that using other raster formats could help.

 

Good luck! M

Jukka,

I'd suggest you come to the TO Code Sprint and help us fine tune performance!

   http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Toronto_Code_Sprint_2009

More seriously, I have had the impression that some of the "everything
but the kitchen sink" distributions like MS4W, FWTools and OSGeo4W have
somewhat significant startup overhead - possibly due to the number of
DLLs being loaded at startup.  You might look into a custom building
a "lite" version of mapserver and see if that helps.

As someone else noted, fastcgi will also let you skip such startup
costs on a per request basis.

But honestly, why not just buy another damn server?  Isn't your time
worth something!

Best regards,

Hi,

This requirement comes from the implementing rules of European Union's INSPIRE directive, so is conserns potentially hundreds of organizations all over Europe. Savings in getting the required speed with a single server would be great. In addition, it is a great challenge for MapServer that is said to be fast :)

Hi,
 
Thanks, I will try Fast CGI.  Are there some simple enough document for a ms4w users about how to turn the system to use Fast CGI?

	Hi,

	 

	Are there any effective tricks for making MapServer to Top-Fuel class?  We have now a typical ms4w installation on a rather good server platform with SCSI drives and 2 four-core processors running on Windows 2003 server. Our images are tiled, uncompressed geotiffs with overviews, vector sample data set is shapefile with shptree index.  I have a shortened epsg file and my mapfile is extra short. Bandwith is not the limit. We are getting out now about 450 orthoimage pictures per minute (size 500 by 500 pixels) and 550 pictures from the vector layer in png24 image format.  I consider that rather good, but we are required to reach 20 images per second, thus 1200 images per minute or 0.05 seconds per image.  I wonder if anybody has tuned MapServer that far.

	 

	I am willing to try however exotic solutions to reach the 20 WMS output images/second goal if somebody could suggest me what to try next.  In our system there seems to be about 0.1 second ballast with WMS getMap requests and I cannot get any faster response even if I try with on empty data layer with nothing to render.  Have anybody tried to keep mapfile,  epsg-file or even tileindex files in RAM drive?  

	 

	Having about 20 parallel users seems to be optimal for our server and if I drive just WMS getCapabilities request against my mapfile I can get about 1300 responses per minute.  That leads me to think that 1200 rendered images per minute might be possible to reach with optimal set-up.

To get much beyond this, I'd simply recommend cached tiles: TileCache
and GeoWebCache are both fine products that cache tiles on the fly.
TileCache supports storing to memcached, and in-memory LRU cache, which
allows you to keep limited resources for caching while serving tiles
quickly.

TileCache users have reported serving > 1200 tiles/second with TileCache
properly configured, so if your data is seldom changing, it's probably
possible to achieve a significant benefit from TileCache.

Hi !

What about TileCache with a memcached store ?
http://tilecache.org/

It won't speed up MapServer responses but the user should be faster served.

I have never used it.

Here is a message published by Alexandre Dub? a few weeks ago - helpfull
 
 
 
Here's how to install and setup fastCGI with Apache 2.2.8 contained in 

the MS4W 2.2.7 version.

1- MS4W 2.2.7 contains a MapServer compiled to support FastCGI so 

nothing needs to be done there.

2- But, Apache 2.2.8 that comes with MS4W 2.2.7 doesn't include the 

mod_fcgi module. This module can be dowloaded at 

http://www.apachelounge.com/download/
<http://www.apachelounge.com/download/>  ... Take the 

mod_fcgid-2.2a-w32.zip which will work with Apache 2.2.8.

3- Copy mod_fcgid.so to your apache/modules folder

4- Install the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (the binary is 

build with VC 2008). Download and install, if it isn't already done, 

from: 

www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-07
4B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=en
<outbind://14/www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9B2DA534-3E0
3-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=en> 

5- Modify your /ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf

a) Add :

LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so

b) Add :

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/"

ScriptAlias /fcgi-bin/ "/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/"

c) Remove :

<Directory "/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin">

AllowOverride All

Options None

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Directory>

d) Add :

<Location "/cgi-bin">

Options None

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Location>

e) Add :

<Location "/fcgi-bin">

# The following line activates the fastCGI script to all files 

in location

SetHandler fcgid-script

Options None

Order allow,deny

Allow from all

</Location>

f) Add :

<IfModule fcgid_module>

IPCCommTimeout 60

IdleTimeout 60

DefaultMinClassProcessCount 2

DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 20

DefaultInitEnv PROJ_LIB "c:/ms4w/proj/nad/"

DefaultInitEnv PATH 

"c:/ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin;c:/WINDOWS/system32;c:/WINDOWS;c:/WINDOWS/System32/W
bem;"

DefaultInitEnv windir "c:/WINDOWS"

DefaultInitEnv SystemRoot "c:/WINDOWS"

DefaultInitEnv SystemDrive "c:"

DefaultInitEnv GDAL_DATA "c:/ms4w/gdaldata"

DefaultInitEnv GDAL_DRIVER_PATH "c:/ms4w/gdalplugins"

DefaultInitEnv TMP "c:/ms4w/tmp"

DefaultInitEnv TEMP "c:/ms4w/tmp"

</IfModule>

6- Restart Apache : /ms4w/apache-restart.bat

7- In your mapfile, set a PROCESSING directive to tell FastCGI to cache 

the connections and layer information on all layers for which connection 

caching is desired - ie. all slow layers.

a) Add :

PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"

8- Now you can load your map using either normal CGI or FastCGI :

a) CGI :

http://host:port/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe <http://host:port/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe>
?...

b) fastCGI :

http://host:port/fcgi-bin/mapserv.exe
<http://host:port/fcgi-bin/mapserv.exe> ?...

That way, your original cgi-bin folder wont be affected by fastCGI 

unless you use the modified url with "fcti-bin" which is the alias you 

added to your httpd.conf file at 5b).

Special thanks to Jeff McKenna and Daniel Morissette who helped me a lot 

with this.

I think serving pre-cached tiles with TileCache running under FastCGI should
improve your response times considerably.

Yes, see your local /ms4w/README_INSTALL.txt file, or online at: 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#f-fastcgi

For questions regarding MS4W and FastCGI configurations please use the

Message-ID: <31e2f7000812121008g4810c0f8p3dcaf1a7e27f30f2@mail.gmail.com>

But the numeric scale match with the graphics if the resolution is
correct. I search and discovered the exist 2 type of resolution: the
monitor dpi and the font dpi. Is easy to get the user? font  dpi. If
they are equal (most of the case) we can get the correct resolution
and send it to mapserver.

I understand what you say  and i will be very careful using it.


Your OS knows the monitor dpi.

And about the projector is true. Maps in paper have both numeric scale
and graphic scale but if you shrink a A4 to a A5 they don't match. For
that reason we must no use the numeric scale in the original?

Hi,

I don't believe pre-cached tiles would fulfill specifications but it need to be basic WMS.  I will try to get fast-CGI running and make some new measurements then.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Hiding map= from URL with FastCGI
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.00.0812121432380.8459@calcutta.flora.ca>


   I am experimenting with running Mapserver via FastCGI. (Apache httpd 
2.2.9, latest fcgi and mod_fastcgi from http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/, 
Mapserver 5.2.1 )

   When in CGI mode we launch separate cgi scripts which look like:

#! /bin/bash
MS_MAPFILE=/data/ourserver/basemap/map/basemap_wms_en.map
export MS_MAPFILE
/data/ourserver/cgi-bin/mapserv


   In this way we don't need to specify a map= URL on the command line.


I tried to do something similar with mod_fastcgi, but it tells me

"loadMap(): Web application error. CGI variable "map" is not set."

If I specify the map= on the URL, then things work.


This leads to a few questions:

   Is it possible to do with FastCGI something similar to what we were 
doing with the CGI version of mapserver?  Do I do this with environment 
variables, or am I left doing some sort of mod_rewrite hacking to add the 
map= into the URL on the fly?

   We have a number of different map files and there seems to be some 
efficiency that could be gained by allowing the same group of fcgi 
mapserver processes to be able to handle all of them, rather than having 
the situation that some processes (accessing more popular maps) end up 
more busy than other processes.  Am I correct in thinking this, or is 
there benefits to having specific mapserver processes that would be 
caching database (Well, ArcSDE) connection information and have that 
sorted within Apache?



Separate thoughts:

   I notice with the ESRI servers you can configure an ArcGIS SOM with 
multiple ArcGIS SOC servers.  The benefit is that the processing can be 
load ballanced across multiple servers.  It appears that something similar 
can be done with mapserver running under fcgi.

   The idea is to run 'lighthttpd' which does load ballancing across a 
number of fcgi processes running on multiple servers.  Then run 
fcgi-mapserver on multltiple servers, allowing each to better split the 
load.

   Has anyone done this?


   I'm also curious what the experience has been comparing CGI vs FastCGI 
with mapserver?  I'm aware that I need to modify our map files to have 
'PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"' added to them to receive the real 
benefits of FastCGI.  I saw a powerpoint presentation from 2005 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/community/conferences/MUM3/present/session10/msvsarcims
and am curious if something more recent with more recent verious of the 
FLOSS and ESRI software has been done.


Note: I'm not a very experienced GIS person, but I am a long-time FLOSS 
person.  Separate from the current contract I would like to learn how to 
promote FLOSS GEO.  It is a mixed environment with the current contract, 
and I'm always curious about the limitations that have been presented.

Questions I've come up against so far:

   - a claim that ArcGIS server is 5+ times faster than Mapserver.  I'm not 
convinced fair tests have been conducted yet.

   - investigations so far indicating that Mapserver doesn't yet support 
UTF8 character encoding.

Hi,

Some general comments, not juat related to mapserver setup...

I think your peformance is likely to be more raster limited than vector, but apart from fast-cgi you might try using jpg's or png's with world files instead of geotiffs. Much smaller image file sizes (but two files to access) so less disk access time to retrieve them, but generally more cpu overhead to process them. I can't say which will result in overall faster performance, it depends on whether you are more I/O or cpu bound. 

Also, if you have large shapefiles, and are generally just rendering a small subset of them, you may find managing yor vector data in Postgis will be faster. Shapefiles seem to be faster when you want to plot most of or the whole dataset, but if you want to select attribute or spatial based subsets, they can be significantly faster on a well indexed Postgis table.

Also, depending on your system, you can abstract your Postgis database to a separate physical database server, whereas - barring network mounts - your shapefiles need to reside on the same server as your imagery (although having your rasters & shapefiles on different physical disks & filesystems on a single server can improve I/O performance as they can be read concurrently - assuming your SCSI controllers are up to the task).


Also, I have found Linux to be faster than Windows, quite significantly in some cases, although some opinions here differ :-) With Linux I find you can choose & tune your filesystem better, and 64bit Linux makes more effective use of large memory configurations (like 8-64Mb if you can get it). Adding memory to heavily loaded servers is one of the first ways to improve overall performance, if your OS can use it effectively. 


Cheers,

  Brent Wood

Jos?,

  I think it has to do with font embedding in the output pdf.  Looking at the source code, Mapserver appears to embed fonts used for symbols, but not for text labels.

I assume you are using Apache. Add something like 

SetEnvIf Request_URI "/mapserv" MS_MAPFILE=/path/to/mapfile.map

to the Apache config. Other web servers can probably do similar things.

I've tried use the font Times as symbol, and yes, font are embedded in
the resultant pdf. But, the labels using the same font in this file,
not uses the same font. This is only a test, is not a good solution,
because forcing to use the desired font as symbol.

Maybe is easy to change the code for include in the PDF the fonts used
in labels, but not for me  right now. I hope to learn how some day.

Thanks to Brent and all the people of MapServer.

Does this still hold true when appropriate tiling is done for
Shapefiles, e.g. as described on [1]?

Hi,

One quick comment, I haven't seen any suggestion of raster pyramids or having a few zoom layers of the rasters pre-built to improve mapserver performance. This is one area where performance can be significantly enhanced pretty easily.


And onto Maciej's question, I figure I perhaps should expand somewhat on what I meant... all based on my experiences with mapserver, shapefiles & Postgis to date...

Breaking a large shapefile up into spatial tiles will improve performance when zooming in as many of the tiles are not read, but when zoomed out, you have many shapefiles to process instead of just one. The fix for this is to use zoom (scale based) layers, with fewer large tiles of reduced precision data when zoomed out & many small high precision tiles when zoomed in. So much like zoom layers for rasters, you can build zoom layers for shapefiles. 

I believe this sort of optimisation can be managed more easily in Postgis, here are some examples I've used:

a lake "layer" comprising several mapserver layers as a zoom based group implemented on an underlying postgis table as something like:
  select lakes from t_lake where lake_area > 1000 for small scale/zoom out
  select lakes from t_lake where lake_area > 100  for med scale
  select lakes from t_lake where lake_area > 10   for lger scale zoomed in

Thus a single table provides several zoom layers. If you only have a few lakes & zoom layers, this can be done just about as fast with shapefiles, but when you have 100,000's of lakes, for example, the database can return a small subset (based on a well indexed query) to be rendered much faster than a shapefile can.



A bathymetry contour "layer" where the number & precision of the contours is modified depending on scale (to support a WFS service providing roughly constant data volumes irrespective of scale - still a work in progress), eg

  select simplify(the_geom, 10000) from bathy_contours where depth in 
        (select depth from contour_groups where scale=10000000)
  select simplify(the_geom, 1000) from bathy_contours where depth in
        (select depth from contour_groups where scale=1000000)
  select simplify(the_geom, 100) from bathy_contours where depth in
        (select depth from contour_groups where scale=100000)
  select the_geom from bathy_contours 
    -- where scale < 50000

The contour_groups table allows me to define which contours are plotted at each scale, so perhaps (250, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000) when zoomed out, or
(100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000) as you zoom in
to all avaiable contours for large scale (zoomed in) maps. (I can even gain a few milliseconds by hard coding the depths in the sql instead of using the subquery if necessary :-)

The Postgis server queried by mapserver is not the one running mapserver & holding the rasyers in the application, but is a separate db server on a Gb LAN, thus distributing the load somewhat.

The underlying dataset was originally a 150Mb shapefile, which as a WFS XML file became about 2Gb of text, a bit excessive for WFS connections at 10mb. By using simplify() & reducing the numbers of contours, we are able to generate a reasonable map at any scale without significantly changing the volume of data transmitted.

The performsnce of the Postgis simplify() (Peuker-Douglas) function is exemplary, so that we have found no need to pre-build the point reduced layers, but can reduce the points dynamically as we need from a single high res dataset in a single table. The index on depth provides a high performance filter on which contour linestrings are processed. The spatial index quickly limits the contour segments to just those required for the extent required.


This use of database functionality to manage data volumes like this is much easier than with shape files, and I have not (yet) had performance issues due to Postgis, or at least none that couldn't be fixed prety easily with some database optimisation, such as clustered indexes, partitioned tables, custom fields with indexed flag values, etc. The resulting application (mapfile) was much simpler & I only have one database to manage, instead of a plethora of versions of shapefiles, which doesn't improve the application performance, but does improve mine :-)


Cheers,

  Brent Wood

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] Serving jpeg tiles - is there a howto?
Message-ID: <20998876.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hello,

Sorry if this question is a bit newbie-ish, but I've searched quite a bit
for a guide on how to do this and haven't come up with anything yet.

I have a pile of JPEG images which are tiles of a map.  I'd like to serve
them as a layer in MapServer (to use them within OpenLayers, but that's
another story).  Each image has its co-ordinates built into the filename,
like so:

~/tiles $ ls
tile-250000-253000-340000-343000.jpg  tile-256000-259000-340000-343000.jpg 
tile-262000-265000-340000-343000.jpg  tile-268000-271000-340000-343000.jpg
tile-250000-253000-343000-346000.jpg  tile-256000-259000-343000-346000.jpg  

The list is truncated - the format is tile-minX-maxX-minY-maxY.jpg where the
origin is in the bottom-left of the map.

I've read that I can use gdaltindex to create the shapefile to index these
tiles, but when I try it, it complains that they aren't georeferenced:
"It appears no georeferencing is available for
`tile-271000-274000-358000-361000.jpg', skipping."

...which is understandable, as they're just JPEGs.  Any idea how I tell it
where each tile is?  How do I put this into Mapserver?  If there's a HOWTO
or similar out there that I've missed, could someone please let me know
where it is?

Thank you.

PS. Sorry about the newbieness - there's just so much to learn about mapping
software and I'm a bit lost.

hi,
the "easiest" way imho would be to create a custom batch script that
creates wld georeferencing files for each of your jpegs:

- use grep on the file name to extract the upper left coordinate (minx, maxy)
- calculate the size of a single pixel (either from the image size and
extent, or hardcoded if all your images have the same pixel size)
- write the georeferencing matrix to disk (check
http://duff.ess.washington.edu/data/raster/drg/tfw.html)
- check with gdalinfo that your georeferencing is taken into account

cheers,
thomas

Note that with something like this, you don't need MapServer at all:
with a little bit of legwork, you can load these into OpenLayers
directly, following the instructions in something like:
http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/UsingCustomTiles .

For more help on that, feel free to stop by the OpenLayers mailing list.

Brilliant! Thanks for that, it's just what I wanted and I don't have to
learn the complexities of Mapserver and shapefiles.  Many thanks, that works
beautifully!

Maybe it's in the wrong format, but it is obviously present  in the GML

Hi,

For me it looks like that gml does not contain actual feature coordinates, but the bounding box of the feature. In this case feature is probably a point and feature coordinates and bbox are the same but perhaps a point should be introduced as a point as well?  just thinking, I do not understand much gml.

In this case feature is probably a point and feature coordinates and
bbox are the same but perhaps a point should be introduced as a point as
well?

The features are placenames.
I have tried these geometry types before: POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON ...
 nothing works really. For some placenames a point would be a proper
representation, for some a polygon.

Thanks for the hint, I didn't think about it out at all. Setting
MAXSCALEDENOM (instead of MINSCALEDENOM ;-) ) to 1 on the dummy layers does
it as Mapserver won't prepare them for display and will deliver the maps a
lot faster. 

Although this works for me, as I will never need to display those layers,
there should be a way to tell Mapserver that some layers shouldn't be loaded
when acting as a WMS-Server. I tought this was the purpose of STATUS, but
this obviously isn't the case, as Mapserver can change that value freely.

Merci encore,

Philippe

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapserver interacting with graphs and tables?
Message-ID: <9A467CAB-5AD4-4E62-8EE1-A5D471E5CC0B@grid.unep.ch>

Hi there,

we've developed a couple of years ago a SVG application, which enables  
some interactivity between the graphs, maps and tables. Now, seeing  
more and more interactive applications out there (OECD Data Explorer,  
IMF, World Bank etc.), which are almost all based on Flex and Flash, I  
wonder where we stand nowadays.

I mean, if you would have to develop a data portal, which enables the  
visualization of (statistical and geospatial) data in form of maps,  
graphics and tables; and you would want the user to for example hover  
over a country, getting directly a bar or line chart visualizing the  
evolution of this dataset over the last 30 years. How would you do  
that? Are there opensource packages out there which can do that?

We've always been into opensource; so, if possible, I would like to  
avoid Flash. Furthermore as we don't have any Flash developer.

Then, on the other side, there is ArcGIS Server with Flex frontend.  
Slick, very nice. That's in principal what I would want (more or  
less)...

Can anyone give me some hints, comments, suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Stef

Hello everyone...

   I have one serious problem. My application is not running. Suddenly It
happens.I dont know why?? Actually Problem is that If I run my program by
simple typing the url then my system becomes hang(not hang actually it
becomes to much slow).If I run http then my cpu load average is becoming
12.34 like that..(running the top command)but it should to be less than 2
always.And either Firefox or httpd is taking 99% cpu. And one more thing is
that I got one message that Selinux is preventing the mislabelled files. If
I disable Selinux then also my program is not running..Not running means it
is coming after a long time. If I increased my server time out option to 60
from 30(default located in php.ini)then it is eventually coming after a long
period.
One More thing is that I have one image having extent 0,0,234,345.Now
suppose I have latitude and longitude information of 4 corners of that
picture. Now I want to change the extent of that picture .Is it possible??
Usually We define the extent of map .it means that output extent. if I
include projection lat long and give the lat long extent(which is not
embeded with that input picture) the picture will come or not......because
the extent should to be output extent.
Actually we should to have raster data not image ..but suppose we have
raster image as input, and o/p will be the same image.....


please help me.............help me plz...........
Thanks
Amiya

   Thank you.  This worked exactly as suggested.  I hadn't realized that 
FastCGI passed environment variables from the Apache environment, and 
doesn't take them from within the fcgi process space.

Here is what we're doing now, one to set the MS_MAPFILE environment 
variable, and the other to alias that special URL to the fastcgi compiled 
mapserver.

SetEnvIf Request_URI "/base_wms_en" MS_MAPFILE=/where/is/my/basemap_wms_en.map
Alias /base_wms_en /where/is/my/fcgi-bin/mapserv

Stef,

I made a short Flash Demo (I just use Flash for these Demo's [so far]) 
of the popup capabilities of GeoMoose.  I think it's close to the 
functionality you are describing.

I've put this page up temporarily:  
http://rlb.gritechnologies.com/gismo/gismo3c4.html

I can get into more detail if you need more information about the 
GeoMoose framework.

Sounds like you have a multifaceted problem.

Is SELINUX are requirement of your environment? If not ... you might just want to g'head and disable it.  Before people get on my back, I know it's bad to disable SELINUX to fix problems ... but it's a good first step to diagnose if it is the root of the problem.  Then go back, fix your labels, and re-enable SELINUX.  As SELINUX is the first error you see I'd suggest starting there.

Also, what is your application actually doing? If you're doing a join against a large shapefile or doing a big database operation you may need to look at optimizing the database queries.

The picture thing should probably come AFTER fixing some of the other problems... 'course that's where my knowlege and assistance runs a little short... I haven't georeferenced any rasters in a while.

Jos?,

  I did some investigation and I think I found the line in mappdf.c that needs to be changed, line 1318:

    /*load font using alias*/
//  font = PDF_load_font(pdf, "f1" ,0 ,"winansi", NULL
    font = PDF_load_font(pdf, label->font ,0 ,"winansi", "embedding=true" );// changed so (multiple) fonts are embedded


It appears to work on my XP computer, but I don't have a linux box to test on.  So if someone could test on linux etc, I'd appreciate it.

And I see there's support for an alternate PDF library planned: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2661

We've done it by feeding data to owtchart in a MapServer query template. You could
also create a URL template response consisting of a call to owtchart. Here's an example
page:

  http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/deer/mapit2003.html?imgxy=174.5+174.5&map=%2Fusr%2Flocal%2Fwww%2Fdocs_maps%2Fwildlife%2Fwhitetail%2Fmain2003.map&imgext=74105.727952+4774937.053875+798393.592828+5499224.918751&layer=total&zoom=1&mode=query&img.x=189&img.y=75

I'm sure there are other Open Source tools to build the graphs in Flash. Or you could
write your own helper tool with something like GD::Graph (Perl) or matplotlib (python).

Would be fastest to prototype with OWTChart quickly and then improve quality as
necessary. We'll be using matplotlib in the near future (AGG or Cairo output).

Hi there,

we've developed a couple of years ago a SVG application, which enables  
some interactivity between the graphs, maps and tables. Now, seeing  
more and more interactive applications out there (OECD Data Explorer,  
IMF, World Bank etc.), which are almost all based on Flex and Flash, I  
wonder where we stand nowadays.

I mean, if you would have to develop a data portal, which enables the  
visualization of (statistical and geospatial) data in form of maps,  
graphics and tables; and you would want the user to for example hover  
over a country, getting directly a bar or line chart visualizing the  
evolution of this dataset over the last 30 years. How would you do  
that? Are there opensource packages out there which can do that?

We've always been into opensource; so, if possible, I would like to  
avoid Flash. Furthermore as we don't have any Flash developer.

Then, on the other side, there is ArcGIS Server with Flex frontend.  
Slick, very nice. That's in principal what I would want (more or  
less)...

Can anyone give me some hints, comments, suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Stef

Knut,

The above feature fragment from a WFS lacks a geometry properly.  The
boundedBy properly is normally ignored by OGR.  Following is a simple
example of a GML feature with a point geometry attribute.

   <gml:featureMember>
     <airports fid="2">
       <NAME>Bowstring Municipal Airport</NAME>
       <LAT>     47.5583</LAT>
       <LON>    -93.8689</LON>
       <ELEVATION>   1372.0000</ELEVATION>
       <QUADNAME>Jessie Lake</QUADNAME>
 
<ogr:geometryProperty><gml:Point><gml:coordinates>434634,5267578</gml:coordinates></gml:Point></ogr:geometryProperty>
     </airports>
   </gml:featureMember>

If you can influence your WFS, then producing something a bit like this
might be good.

I tried this on my Linux, and works well.

Note: if the font who used, have license restrictions, the font can
not be embedded.

Thanks very much Brent. Now, I will to use "Times" where I desired.

Something strange (to me) with this: I have not had a problem to use
"Italic Times" in the first case where I could not use Times.

In the file "FONTSET," I have defined:

times   /fontpath/times.ttf
timesi   /fontpath/timesi.ttf

Before modify the code with the changes proposed by Brent, "times" was
substituted for "Sans", but "timesi" remained "Times Italic" (in the
PDF file).

I think that the following tools can be useful or interesting:

http://code.google.com/apis/chart/

I hope that this info be useful.

I've found that option "ANGLE=follow" not works with PDF output format.

I guess it might be useful to send a message to where they are
planning changes to the PDF support:

>> And I see there's support for an alternate PDF library planned:
>> http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2661

So, i will to do this.

Subject: [mapserver-users] msTileSetup(): CGI error. Tile API is not

Message-ID: <003501c95f03$eb618ff0$c224afd0$@com>

Hello,

 

I'm creating my first map server and I'm trying to generate tiles for gmap
from shapfiles.  I have successfully gotten the mapserver to render the
shapefiles using the following url:

 

http://000.000.000.000/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/www/htdocs/mapserver/coverag
e.map
<http://000.000.000.000/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/www/htdocs/mapserver/covera
ge.map&mode=map> &mode=map

 

but when I try to use (only "mode" changes):

 

http://000.000.000.000/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/www/htdocs/mapserver/coverag
e.map
<http://000.000.000.000/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/www/htdocs/mapserver/covera
ge.map&mode=tile> &mode=tile

 

I receive the error:

msTileSetup(): CGI error. Tile API is not available.

 

I know that I'll need more url switches (I've simplified for the example),
however, I cannot find anything online concerning this error.  I've compiled
this on SUSE linux, and the map file contains only one simple map and layer
section.

If you need more info, please let me know.

 

I am also wondering if I'm going about this the correct way.  I would
ideally like to generate a tile cache rather than generate per request.  But
I have not found a tutorial to do such (I'm sure there's one out there).

 

Thank you much!

The 1.3.5 release of PostGIS is available. I am cross-posting to
Mapserver because of the particular interest for that community in
this release.

This release fixes a minor change in 1.3.4 that caused and Mapserver
LINE layer to start crashing PostGIS. If you are using Mapserver and
PostGIS, do not use version 1.3.4. Use this new version, or an earlier
version.

In order to use the Tile API, you must have proj support. Is your
MapServer compiled with PROJ support? 

You can check this with:

mapserv -v 

and looking for SUPPORTS=PROJ.

Message-ID: <A61708A2D512974BAD5C77CD88B83C0802762141@lauimlex01.lau.dfo-mpo.ca>

Hi,

I have a LAYER based on a gtiff file reported as follows by gdalinfo :

  Band 1 Block=10800x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Palette
  NoData Value=255
  Color Table (RGB with 256 entries)
    0: 255,0,255,255
    1: 250,0,255,255
    2: 240,0,255,255
    3: 230,0,255,255
      (snip)
  253: 143,0,0,255
  254: 140,0,0,255
  255: 0,0,0,255

I would like Mapserver to produce a gtiff output with the same palette
as the above one, eg with 
255 as the nodata value. I just cannot see how to do that. Whatever I
try,
it appears that the missing value is always assigned to palette index 0
in the
output tiff file. For ex. here is what gdalinfo reports for the output
file :

    Band 1 Block=1000x8 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Palette
    Color Table (RGB with 256 entries)
    0: 0,0,0,255
    1: 255,0,255,255
    2: 250,0,255,255
    3: 240,0,255,255
    (snip)
  252: 150,0,0,255
  253: 147,0,0,255
  254: 143,0,0,255
  255: 140,0,0,255

Note that there is no explicit "NoData Value= "  indication. The input
color palette has been "shifted down" by one position, with the former
"255:0,0,0,255" entry now at top as "0: 0,0,0,255".
This annoying, because the byte values in the output tiff file do not
match anymore those in the input file.

Is there away to avoid this problem (except requiring all my source tiff
layers to be rewritten to use 0 as the nodata value instead of 255,
which would be a big pain given their high number).

Hi Andre:

How did you get Mapserver to produce a paletted Gtiff output image?
Are you making a WMS GetMap request? I am trying to preserve the
palette in a WCS GetCoverage request without success (I get a
grayscale image), and I am interested in your solution. Also, how have
you configured the output format in  your .map file?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Dear Thomas,

I am not getting Point layer.I am getting blank image.Below is my query.

Data "the_geom from (select gid,the_geom from globalnews where
news_date='12/2/2008') as foo using unique gid using srid=3000"

I don't know what is foo? I am getting confuse on this.
Globalnews is point layer and news_date is varchar type, is there any
problem with that?

Please let me know.give me some suggestion on this.

I am waiting for your great response.

Thanks,
Venkat.

Dear Thomas,

  I have done with my task. Here the thing is we need to have all the field
members with in the Query.
 Thanks for great response.

Here is my Code:-

  Data "the_geom from (select gid,test,date,class,the_geom from globalnews
where date='12/2/2008') as Foo USING UNIQUE gid USING 'SRID=3000'"

Thanks,
Venkat.

The (non-UMN-mapserver based) WFS is public, and I am acting as a WFS
client, merely retrieving data. Maybe it's just the HTTP GET request
that was misspelled or incomplete.
This was my request:
http://geoportal.geodaten.sachsen-anhalt.de/geodatenportal/servlet/gtEntryPoint?&REQUEST=GetFeature&VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WFS&TYPENAME=featureSet_704&BBOX=4400161.55779751,5779082.69612775,4502841.70515686,5881251.07072079&MAXFEATURES=100

Are these the correct URL parameters?

If you look at the XML schema, i.e.

http://geoportal.geodaten.sachsen-anhalt.de/geodatenportal/servlet/gtEntryPoint?&REQUEST=DescribeFeatureType&VERSION=1.0.0&SERVICE=WFS&TYPENAME=featureSet_704

the optional field VERWALTUNG should contain the geometry.

Apparently these are not filled in the dataset that the WFS uses.

So you are doing nothing wrong, and I think you should contact the
maintainer of the WFS to ask if VERWALTUNG is present in any feature or
that it is always non-existant.

Best regards,
Bart

Yes, indeed. I just tried again - watch for line breaks in the request.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Again: WFS: How to sort the WFS output in MS
	5.x.x ?
Message-ID: <D1982C7C00C1DE409DDE5F9AB94C9E6AAC269A4107@mail-back01.Regensburg.de>

Hi list,

I have posted this item some days ago, but I didn't get some help. So I want to repeat my question:

Until now I've been using mapserver 4.10.2 for generating wfs (for use with wfs-gazetteers). I determined the order of the wfs-output with the ORDER BY clause of the DATA-statement.

Example:
DATA 'the_geom from (SELECT the_geom, fid, str_name, haus_nr, haus_nr_zusatz, str_such_string, ... FROM stgk_hausnummern ORDER BY str_name,haus_nr,haus_nr_zusatz) as foo using unique fid using SRID=31468'

Changing the ORDER BY - clause caused changing the sort order of the output.
==============================================================

Using mapserver 5.2.0 and mapserver 5.2.1 the ORDER BY - clause has obviously no effect. The wfs - output is always sorted by sort order given from attribute fid. (could be another attribute like oid, but it is alwas used the attribute after USING UNIQUE ..)

Is it possible to change the sort order in mapserver 5.x.x too?
Has anybody a tipp for me, how this could be done ?

Thanks
Schoenhammer Herbert

P.S.
The generated urls are looking like:
http://myserver/cgi-bin/getows?map=/data-umn/wfs/rgb_wfs_adressen.map&REQUEST=getFeature&Typename=adressen&Version=1.0.0&service=WFS&filter=%3Cogc:Filter+xmlns:ogc=%27http://ogc.org%27+xmlns:gml=%27http://www.opengis.net/gml%27%3E%3Cogc:PropertyIsLike+wildCard=%27*%27+singleChar=%27.%27+escape=%27!%27%3E%3Cogc:PropertyName%3Estr_such_string%3C/ogc:PropertyName%3E%3Cogc:Literal%3E*MARTIN*%3C/ogc:Literal%3E%3C/ogc:PropertyIsLike%3E%3C/ogc:Filter%3E

Hi,

I have MapServer in my machine. But the MapServer brings an apache. I
already have an apache on my computer. 

It's possible, instead of using the apache which is inside the folder ms4w,
start to use apache I have on my computer?

Cumps.

For various erasons I don't expect the authorities that provide the data
to be very responsive.
The data is not that important, anyway. It's about placenames, and there
are many other sources for this well-known and quasi-static data.

When I have the time I'll write my own XSL transform to convert the
spatial information in the BBOX elements to gml:geometry elements. At
best, this would approximate the locations of the places with squares,
but that's better than nothing. Nice little exercise to refresh and
expand my xslt skills.

Hi,

What is the format of your Tiff input file ? 8 bit per pixel ? 3 bands ? Width and height ?
And what are the size of input and output images ?

The mapserver is doing computations that could take some time. If it has too read of lot of data in your picture, if it has to do reprojections...
You should provide results from gdalinfo on your input picture, give your mapfile as well as your url request.

Regards,

Beno?t

Could you send me the output file ?
And could you post the map file as well as the url request ?

>From what I see, your outfile file uncompressed with 1 band should have a size of 230 kB. With 3 bands, it should be 692 kB. With some compression, it would be far less because you don't have much colors in your input file/

Hi..

Exist some command or clause in the MapFile for change the text(type) to
display in the map of a label from lower to upper or upper to lower?
something like:

CLASS
     EXPRESSION  ('[HWYLEVEL]' = '1' and '[ONEWAY]'='0')
     TEXT (lower('[HWYLEVEL]'))
     ....

Hi everyone,

 

I am begining with mapserver for windows and i have this problem:

 

Mapserver work (theorycally) fine, because http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe request in web navigator answer "No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty".

 

I have a .map file in c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\map\ directory. (I put it in anex).

 

But when a try to make a map request mapserver give a blank image (800x500 pixel)

 

Whyyyyyyy!!!

 

Thank you for your help.

Ok, it doesn't list it as supported.  But when I try to compile using

seemed to compile correctly and lists PROJ with DUSE.

Thanks again,
Chad

In order to use the Tile API, you must have proj support. Is your
MapServer compiled with PROJ support? 

You can check this with:

mapserv -v 

and looking for SUPPORTS=PROJ.

Well...

If you look at the size of your output file, the size is quite huge... ^^
12345 x 23456 pixels, that's quite a big image !! ;)

Here is the result of gdalinfo on the image :

Driver: PNG/Portable Network Graphics
Files: f:\temp\4947ac7e_29f5_0.png
Size is 12345, 23456
Coordinate System is `'
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left  (    0.0,    0.0)
Lower Left  (    0.0,23456.0)
Upper Right (12345.0,    0.0)
Lower Right (12345.0,23456.0)
Center      ( 6172.5,11728.0)
Band 1 Block=12345x1 Type=Byte, ColorInterp=Palette
  Color Table (RGB with 256 entries)
    0: 255,255,255,255
    1: 0,0,0,255
    2: 255,0,0,255
    3: 234,233,233,255
    4: 233,232,233,255
    5: 234,233,234,255
    6: 233,233,233,255
    7: 215,148,53,255
...

Now, you should look at your map file to see why this output size :
IMAGETYPE png
#NAME "mapa"
SIZE 12345 23456#583 421


So, you put 12345 23456 as the optimal size for rendering the whole map and you commented another size (583 421).
You should try to put the size of your input file instead of 12345 23456.

Something else is coming to my mind ? Why do you want to use Mapserver to serve a file like this one ? Couldn't you use your web server to serve it ?

Hi,
 
Try first what happens if you set STATUS DEFAULT in your layer "mosaico" definitions. It that does not help then tell us how your request looks like.

	Hi everyone,

	 

	I am begining with mapserver for windows and i have this problem:

	 

	Mapserver work (theorycally) fine, because http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe request in web navigator answer "No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty".

	 

	I have a .map file in c:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\map\ directory. (I put it in anex).

	 

	But when a try to make a map request mapserver give a blank image (800x500 pixel)

	 

	Whyyyyyyy!!!

	 

	Thank you for your help.

I'm assuming '--make-proj' was a typo, and you meant '--with-proj'.

Is proj installed in /usr? Or is it perhaps installed in /usr/local, and
you need to point there? The docs suggest, for example:

    --with-proj=/usr/local

Good Luck, and Best Regards,

You have to ask yourself if your image is in a lat long projection (epsg 4326) or in another projection ?

As soon as yo know, two options :
- convert the gif in geotiff by the use of gdaltranslate (http://www.gdal.org/gdal_translate.html) to put coordinates and coordinate system within,
- use a gfw file (gfw is the equivalent of tfw but for gif files), http://duff.ess.washington.edu/data/raster/drg/tfw.html

Hi..

Exist some command or clause in the MapFile for change the text(type) to
display in the map of a label from lower to upper or upper to lower?
something like:

CLASS
     EXPRESSION  ('[HWYLEVEL]' = '1' and '[ONEWAY]'='0')
     TEXT (lower('[HWYLEVEL]'))
     ....

It is difficult to help you troubleshoot questions like this unless you
include the text of your map file.  
 
What does the SIZE line say in your map file.  If you are specifying a
large image, this would cause the file size to be large.  
 
Also, what output format are you using?  If you are using AGG and
outputting to 24-bit image types, this will also cause larger file
sizes.  It is a trade off, if you want higher quality images, the files
are larger (e.g. 'There is no such thing as a free lunch...')
 
What do you mean by 'too big'?
 
How much time is it taking to load in the browser?
 
David.

Alexandre, 
 
What URL are you using to request your map?  
 
Are you explicitly requesting your layer 'mosaico' in the URL (e.g. &layers=mosaico)?  If not, change the layer status to default for testing purposes.  
 
Try this first before exploring whether you have problems with your extent or spatial reference systems.  
 
Is mosaico.tif georeferenced and does it fall within the extent specified in your map file?  Also, is it in the same spatial reference system as the projection stated in your map file?  
 
David.

Hi,

How about doing this?

layer = MapFunction.Map.getLayerByName("PointLayer");

MapFunction.Map.removeLayer(layer.index);

Subject: [mapserver-users] Again: WFS: How to sort the WFS output
	in MS5.x.x ?

The presentation side of the WFS code doesn't do any sorting so that's
not the culprit. Looks like you're 
using PostGIS. Is there any way you can capture the SQL actually being
generated by MapServer and
executed by PostGIS? That would help us track this down.

Hi all,

I'm getting the following compile error with mapserver 5.2.1 on a new

anything helpful googling for it. Thoughts?

Your CLASS needs a name and then it should work ok.

I would also start with creating a valid map image with the shp2img 
utility 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/utilityreference/shp2img) 
and once that works move to debugging your application (or request).

The easiest option is to change the port number in MS4W's Apache (see 
"Listen 80" in /ms4w/Apache/conf/httpd.conf), execute 
/ms4w/apache-install.bat, and then goto 127.0.0.1:yourport in a browser. 
  If you want to configure your own Apache for MapServer it's much more 
detailed, but possible.

Is the easy option an option for you?

Hi again & thanks 4 the answer.

The question where is:

If i have already an Apache running on my computador, why do i need to have
another apache inside the ms4w folder. If i could use only one apache on my
computer, my machine would be a optmized/eficient machine.

So, if you could tell me how can i do that :)

Thanks,

Cumps,

D.Nunes

Hello. Sorry if you do not properly understand the problem.

I reviewed my copy of ms4w. I can not find any Apache server here.

What I found is a configuration for Apache:

/myfiles/ms4w/httpd.d/httpd_gmap.conf

You can open your local Apache configuration file. Perhaps:

/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

And you can include a configuration file with something like:

Include /myfiles/ms4w/httpd.d/httpd_gmap.conf

And reload or restart the local apache. Of course, check the settings
to make sure that meet your needs.

Dear Sir

 

     Can you please tell me how remove specific layer or at least clear the
layer form map. I can able to clear the layer based on index.but if I click
clear layer button again it is clearing whatever the 0 position next layer.

 

     For example  my map contains  the layers called  Continents and
countries and states  that is like 

0 ,1, 2 position. If I want to remove continents (0) that is in 0 position ,
if I use MapFunction.Map.removeLayer(0); , it is working fine. If I Click
the same button again countries will be the second position then the country
layer is removing .but I want to remove single layer.

 

  protected void btnClearPointLayer_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            if(Page.IsPostBack)

            {

                MapFunction.Map.removeLayer(0);

            }

         

        }



Is it Possible every time  same layer removable(dynamically the same layer
will be adding).

 

I am waiting for your great response.

 

Advanced Thanks

 

Regards

 

Venkat.

Hi,

How about doing this?

layer = MapFunction.Map.getLayerByName("PointLayer");

MapFunction.Map.removeLayer(layer.index);


Best regards,

Tamas

Subject: [mapserver-users] get SVG/PDF for one layer
Message-ID: <a37ffbf90812170112v4a7898b6sbf0d5d3d4cae5759@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all

In a Python script, I hope to get one layer rendered as PDF or SVG.

I'm able to obtain one layer in any other format supported by GD, like
PNG, using:

img = layer.draw(map,img)
img.saveToString()

Or:

img.save(f)

and accessing later to f.

But, if otputformat in mapfile is equal to SVG or PDF, I get errors.

Error obtained using img.saveToString():

msSaveImageBufferGD(): Image handling error. Unknown output image type
driver: svg.

Error obtained using img.write():

_mapscript.MapServerError: imageObj::write: Image handling error.
Writing of svg format not implemented

I've found SVG files in the imagepath. But, i cannot relate these SVG
with layers in the mapfile.

Thanks for any advice.
Saludos

Hi Jeff and all others than help me.

 

I tried all your advice and i changed this tips:

 

* I set STATUS layer tag to DEFAULT

* I changed wms_onlineresource tag to  "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/map/mosaico.map&"

* I checked EXTENT tag to correct extents

* I changed "wms_latlongbounding" layer tag to the correct extents

* I checked gdalinfo for both mosaico.ecw and mosaico.tif image files, and this is the result:

It likes ok, but gdalinfo does not return coordinate system data for ecw image, when i changed ecw header info to ETRS89 and NUTM30.

 

* I tried shp2img with both ecw and tif images, and in both cases the result is a 800x500 blank image.

* I tried getcapabilities with this url: http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/map/mosaico.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities

And it returnsme file in attached.

 

And finally, I tried Getmap with http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/map/mosaico.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=Getmap&LAYERs=mosaico&SRS=EPSG:25830&bbox=556560,4134920,707800,4293920&format=image/png&width=800&height=500 and it returns 800x500 balnk image.

 

Conclusion: I don't know what i can also do.

I would also start with creating a valid map image with the shp2img 

utility 

(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/utilityreference/shp2img) 

and once that works move to debugging your application (or request).

In reply to my self:

I've found that all SVG files have a line indicating to which layer
corresponds. Like this:

<!-- START LAYER limite_provincia -->

G'day all,

I am having generally excellent results with MapServer 5.2, but I am  
having a problem with a postgis layer not displaying, and no  
suggestion that it shouldn't from the logs.

I imported a shapefile :

shp2pgsql -s 4326 /Users/19022662/Geodata/healthmapper/LA/roads roads  
| psql prices

in postgres I gave permission for the mapserver user to select from it :

grant select on roads to gms_mapserver;

My map layer :

	LAYER
		STATUS DEFAULT
		DEBUG 4
		NAME "Roads"
		GROUP "Background"
		METADATA
			layer_title "Roads"
		END
		CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
		CONNECTION "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=prices password=badluck  
user=gms_mapserver"
		DATA "the_geom FROM (
			SELECT  gid, the_geom
			FROM    roads
			) AS foo USING UNIQUE gid USING SRID=4326"
#		DATA 'healthmapper/LA/roads'
     		TYPE    LINE
     		PROJECTION
     		    "init=epsg:4326"
     		END
     		TRANSPARENCY 100
     		CLASS
     		  NAME      "ROADS"
     		  OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
     		  symbol 'dashed'
     		  COLOR		255 0 0
     		END
	END

and I don't get the layer (even with everything else turned off);

Other postGIS polygon layers are showing fine.

If I load the data directly from the shapefile, it is fine

If I connect to the postgis layer from QGIS, it is fine.

Here is the dump from the error console

Subject: [mapserver-users] Blank PostGIS Layer

G'day all,

I am having generally excellent results with MapServer 5.2, but I am  
having a problem with a postgis layer not displaying, and no  
suggestion that it shouldn't from the logs.

I imported a shapefile :

shp2pgsql -s 4326 /Users/19022662/Geodata/healthmapper/LA/roads roads  
| psql prices

in postgres I gave permission for the mapserver user to select from it :

grant select on roads to gms_mapserver;

My map layer :

	LAYER
		STATUS DEFAULT
		DEBUG 4
		NAME "Roads"
		GROUP "Background"
		METADATA
			layer_title "Roads"
		END
		CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
		CONNECTION "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=prices
password=badluck  
user=gms_mapserver"
		DATA "the_geom FROM (
			SELECT  gid, the_geom
			FROM    roads
			) AS foo USING UNIQUE gid USING SRID=4326"
#		DATA 'healthmapper/LA/roads'
     		TYPE    LINE
     		PROJECTION
     		    "init=epsg:4326"
     		END
     		TRANSPARENCY 100
     		CLASS
     		  NAME      "ROADS"
     		  OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
     		  symbol 'dashed'
     		  COLOR		255 0 0
     		END
	END

and I don't get the layer (even with everything else turned off);

Other postGIS polygon layers are showing fine.

If I load the data directly from the shapefile, it is fine

If I connect to the postgis layer from QGIS, it is fine.

Here is the dump from the error console

Asunto: RE: [mapserver-users] Blank image after map request

Hi,
Sorry, but I am not at work and my webmail refuses to send the
message, don't know why, so I have to send this message directly to
you and not on the mailing list.

My guess would be to check the path to the tiff file in map file.
You have put DATA "/../raster/mosaico.tif".

Doesn't that mean mapserv.exe will go to the root of the drive it is
installed on;  then go on the sub-folder of this root (...); then go
in the raster folder of sub-folder of the root and expect to find the
tiff in there ?

I would put a nice full path.

Other ideas :
- I personnally don't like having unknown references in my gdalinfo
results (your spheroid is unretrievable),
- well, nothing more...

Regards,

Benoit

Subject: [mapserver-users] Trying to get GeoWebCache to work with MapServer
Message-ID: <49490D680200005300049124@stirling.iso.port.ac.uk>

Hi,

I am having some problems trying to get GeoWebCache working with MapServer. I currently have a fully functional MapServer / TileCache / OpenLayers system setup on the server. MapServer is functioning as a WMS server.

With a GeoWebCache layer I receive pink tiles, right clicking and viewing the image tile reports the following type of GeoWevCache error:

400: Empty metatile, error message: MimeType mismatch, expected image/png but got text/html

I believe this means that GeoWebCache received a text response from MapServer instead of an image response. The previous error also came with a MapServer url. Hitting that url brings back the following MapServer error:

msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String (/data/map-files/gbhgis.map?exceptions=application/vnd.ogc.se_inimage) failed expression test

I tried stripping down my map file to just a single layer but that did not help. I also tried using the shp2img command with my full map file:

shp2img -m /data/map-files/gbhgis.map -o test.png -map_debug 3

The following debug information was output and the resulting png was blank / transparent:

msDrawMap(): Drawing Label Cache, 0.000s
msDrawMap() total time: 0.001s
msSaveImage() total time: 0.031s

There are many layers in my map file, yet nothing much happened with shp2img. Something seems a bit fishy. But everything works alright with Tilecache or with MapServer on its own with no caching. I'm confused.

Does anybody have any ideas? Perhaps I could look at and compare the TileCache and GeoWebCache requests in the server log? However, it seems that there may be something more fundamentally wrong if shp2img returns northing.

what are the exact urls called by geowebcache? (from your apache logs)

I'd suspect a typo in your wms definition, given the stray "?" in your
error message. eg:

http://server/cgi/mapserv/map=path/to/map
instead of
http://server/cgi/mapserv?map=path/to/map

Dude, you need to be more patient, and it's not necessarily a simple question.

Anyway, near as I can tell there is no problem. I whipped up a little example based on your mapfile and extent, see:

  http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv50?map=/usr/local/www/docs_maps/testing/patra.map&mode=browse&mapext=-97.384655+49.697475+-96.877772+50.077168

The dx for your map (after adjusting to the requested map aspect) is .506883 degrees, so with width of the entire
map is 34.9952 miles  over 639 pixels (remember mapserver extents are pixel center to pixel center). Using  this we 
 get that 6 miles should be 110 pixels wide. If you open the scalebar in something like photoshop the scalebar 
is 111 pixels wide (really 110 when you take into account the pixel center to pixel center computation).

 34.9952/639 = 6/w, w = 109.55788, which rounds to 110

So the math works for me anyway given the bit of rounding that has to happen when creating and labeling the scalebar.

Subject: [mapserver-users] AGG OUTPUTFORMAT Question
Message-ID: <4949553A.7030107@swoodbridge.com>

Hi Thomas, et al,

I need to generate tiles using AGG output and need them to be 8 bit png 
images.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/agg-rendering-specifics

Does not make it clear if any of the formats shown are 8 bit png images 
and it does not note the use of:

     FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"
     FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/u/data/maps/palette-agg.txt"

What is the proper way to set up OUTPUTFORMAT to use AGG to get the best 
quality 8 bit output. I think I need to use the PALETTE* options to 
control color shifts in adjacent tiles.

I would be happy to add a comment to the above link with this additional 
info.

Best regards,
   -Steve W

Steve,
 you have the undocumented FORMATOPTION QUANTIZE_NEW=yes that uses the
median cut quantization algorithm which is slower but much better than
the GD one. Still no guarantee your tiles will have exactly the same
colors, although in practice this seems to be the case.

keep me in touch with your findings, so this can be documented if the
results are ok.

cheers,
thomas

Subject: [mapserver-users] thin lines in SVG format (size < 1) (and float
	size values)
Message-ID: <a37ffbf90812171158n7adb237h20fc3fc5ac962cd8@mail.gmail.com>

Hello.

I'm using MapServer to make maps in SVG format.

I wish draw lines of 0.5 pixel of width. But, the "stroke-width" in
SVG output are integers.

So, I going to try to modify code to use decimal values in SIZE and WIDTH.

I've made some changes in mapsvg.c. But, the problem is that style
object arrives to svg functions with size and with values rounded. So,
I need to modify something at style level.

Thanks for any advice.
Saludos

just a side note on the subject: seeding your tiles probably involves
using tilecache's metatiles. quantizing a 5x5 tile in mapserver will
very probably give poorer visual results than quantizing each
individual tile. For this reason I tend to seed in 24bit mode, and
postprocess the split up tiles with pngnq:

for file in `find tilecache/mylayer -name "*.png"`;
do
 echo $file;
 pngnq -e .png.tmp -n 256 $file;
 mv $file.tmp $file;
done

Jos?,

the svn version of mapserver (what will be mapserver 5.4) comes with
size and widths unrounded in the the style object. Please post your
patch to mapsvg.c in the trac bugtracker so it can be incorporated
alongside in 5.4

I have the mapsvg.c file modified to write floating sizes.

I sent a patch to the trac site. The "Ticket" is here:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2835

If the patch file does not work, I have a file of traditional
differences, and of course the file itself, with the modifications.

Hi all. I sent a patch to trac:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2836

Is for a new option for SVG format: INKSCAPE. Elements are separated
in layers (Inkscape layers), in correspondence with original layers.
The objective of this patch is to facilitate the retouching of final
map.

I hope that this be useful. If yes, please, check the code.

Steve,

  I use this OUTPUTFORMAT

OUTPUTFORMAT
   NAME png
   MIMETYPE "image/png"
   DRIVER "AGG/PNG"
   EXTENSION "png"
   IMAGEMODE "RGB"
   FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"
   FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/path/to/palette.txt"
END

We've had good results with this in terms of colours - once you  
identify the main colours you want to keep from the map file and any  
images in your palette.txt file, GD seems to do a pretty reasonable  
job of filling in the antialiasing colours

I'm not sure the extra quality that Thomas mentioned would be  
noticeable, but I haven't tried it.  I think that it might be worth  
running pngnq on tiles as well - not to reduce the palette but to  
reduce the tile size, but I'm not sure on that.

Cheers

Paul

G'day all,

A quick cross posting - I reply to myself - (thanks to Venkat for the  
suggestion, albeit not successful)

> I am having generally excellent results with MapServer 5.2, but I am  
> having a problem with a postgis line layer not displaying, and no  
> suggestion that it shouldn't from the logs.


This was resolved by upgrading from PostGIS 1.3.4 to 1.3.5.

Unfortunately having only upgraded to 1.3.4 on the 14th December, I  
missed : (from the refractions website)

News
PostGIS 1.3.5 Release
December 15, 2008
The 1.3.5 release of PostGIS is now available. This release is a small  
bug fix release, including a critical fix for using PostGIS with  
Mapserver and LINE layers.

Neither did I notice this information in the postgis-users list -  
would it have been posted? (I did notice the thread 'Changed behaviour  
of PostGIS confuses MapServer' but I was under the impression this  
caused a complete crash, not just an empty set to be returned.)

Either way, thanks to those who fixed it.

For FreeBSD, if it helps anyone I have attached an amended Makefile  
and distinfo for the port.

cheers

Ben

G'day all,

I have a roads shapefile which I imported in PostGIS, planning to  
merge several different countries data eventually. It is producing a  
layer on the map, and labels etc.

However, the data isn't all good - in fact, about 10% is bad :

es=# select IsValid(the_geom), count(gid) from gis_roads group by  
IsValid(the_geom);

  isvalid | count
----------+-------
               |  4128
       t       | 39670
(2 rows)

My question then is :

should I ?

a) leave it - it won't do any harm, but probably won't be rendered,
b) remove it - it may be incorrectly rendered, or waste processor time  
on data that is unuseable,
c) fix it by hand (lazy git!)
d) fix it automatically, using super program I wasn't aware of.  
(called?)

actually, I don't have the time or budget for option c, and I suspect  
option d does not exist!

cheers

Ben

Hi Ben,

Option A : from my own very little experience with postgis & mapserver, 
you'll have a little loss of performance.
Option B : in the worst case, you'll get an error and mapserver will throw 
an exception to the client.
Option C : poor guy... :)
Option D : you should maybe try to put a call to buffer around your geom 
column; in some cases, it is able to do some magic results !

-- To see if the magic happens
select buffer(the_geom), IsValid(buffer(the_geom)) from gis_roads where 
IsValid(the_geom) = false;

-- To select and do the magic without updates
select the_geom, count(gid) from (select buffer(the_geom) as the_geom, gid 
from gis_roads) group by the_geom;

-- To update magically
update gis_roads
set the_geom = buffer(the_geom)
where IsValid(the_geom) == false;

I did not test those, so maybe it won't work...

Best regards,

Beno?t

Message-ID: <8DB813E500220E49824A37D46669749D56C8E3@CORREO06.carm.msda>

Hi other time,

 

Today my problem is: I define a wms service with the attached .map file. It works well (i can see the map, wms conection is ok, legend likes good, etc.). But identifier tools in my gis client (Arcgis and gvsig) doesn't work and I cannot identifie the polygon values.

 

The question is that I don't get to understand where I have to define template url: ?in the web object, in the layer object, or in every class object? ?I have to define header, footer and general template? When I have more one layer in the same file, how can i define diferent template??in each layer object, or in each class object?

 

Thanks you for your help.

Subject: [mapserver-users] tileindex without .jgw
Message-ID: <72c962640812180525n27c06469i6bc627e3fa32617d@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have some airial photos (format is .jpg) without any
georeference-files (.jgw).
But there is a shapefile with with the coordinates of the upper left,
upper right, lower left and lower right coordinates and the rows and
columns (pixels).
The aerialphotos are rectangles but the shapes are trapezoidal.
Is it possible to georeference the files "on the fly" with the
shapefile in mapserver using an image catalog?
If I'm using the tileindex, the arialphotos are not at the correct
position and scaling.

LAYER
    NAME "test"
    STATUS ON
    TILEINDEX "testcat.shp"
    TILEITEM "NAME"
    TYPE RASTER
	CLASS
	 NAME "test"
	END
	PROCESSING "Resample=average"
	OFFSITE 255 255 255
END

Thanks
Jo

Jo,

No, currently the tileindex is only used to select the right files for
the area of interest.  It is still necessary that they have georeferencing
per-file in a form that mapserver (GDAL) can utilize and that does not
include the values from the tile index.

The obvious step is to write a script to produce world files for from the
shapefile.  There are some other more complicated options if having the
files without a world file is important to you.

You have two alternatives:

- define TEMPLATE in class object.
- define global TEMPLATE in layer object. This template is for all
classes in layer.

header and footer are optional, and only are defined in LAYER object
(so, are global, for all class in layer).

WEB object have a TEMPLATE option. But this template is not for layer
query, I think.

I provided a comprehensive answer yesterday. Even though your size is 144x5 that's the size of the whole
scalebar image of which the actual bar is only a portion of. The bar is only 111 pixels wide so 6 is the correct
value. Using your numbers this works out:

  111/144 * 7.886242254 = 6.0789784

The scalebar is correct.

Hi Ben,

Option "d" does exist. Proper GIS do not tolerate invalid geometries.

You could import it into Arc/INFO and use "clean" and "build" for some
heavy handed (but automatic) resolution of issues.

You may come a cropper if you (or someone) makes the right (wrong) kind
of
query against dirty geometries. Say there's a self intersection in an
arc that describes the boundary between "Black" and "White", the loop is
there being defined as Black *and* White. Not particularly good if your
code is expecting an un-ambiguous response.

(Arc/INFO would split the arcs at the loop intersect and create a new,
unlabeled
 polygon that says "Don't Know")

Unfortunately desktop GIS has also promoted the generation of dirty
data.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Impact of InValid Geometry on PostGIS queries

G'day all,

I have a roads shapefile which I imported in PostGIS, planning to merge
several different countries data eventually. It is producing a layer on
the map, and labels etc.

However, the data isn't all good - in fact, about 10% is bad :

es=# select IsValid(the_geom), count(gid) from gis_roads group by
IsValid(the_geom);

  isvalid | count
----------+-------
               |  4128
       t       | 39670
(2 rows)

My question then is :

should I ?

a) leave it - it won't do any harm, but probably won't be rendered,
b) remove it - it may be incorrectly rendered, or waste processor time
on data that is unuseable,
c) fix it by hand (lazy git!)
d) fix it automatically, using super program I wasn't aware of.  
(called?)

actually, I don't have the time or budget for option c, and I suspect
option d does not exist!

cheers

Ben

Message-ID: <FD13360F-AB1A-4ACB-A297-D88BB1B20D90@remoteinformation.com.au>

G'day all,

I seem to be regressing here - rushing before Christmas maybe?

I am trying to draw a reference map (with the nice red box showing  
which part of the bigger map I am zoomed into.

I took my initial map image, shrunk it down into a gif file, and saved  
it as my refmap.gif

I added this REFERENCE section:

     REFERENCE
     	STATUS 	ON
     	EXTENT 	90 4 120 24  ## 88 -2 128 28
     	IMAGE	"../images/refmap.gif"
     	SIZE	225 175
     	COLOR 	-1 -1 -1
     	OUTLINECOLOR	 255  0 0
     END

And put this in my template :

          <input type="image" name="ref" src="[ref]" style="border: 
0;width:225;height:175">

And it was a beautiful thing, my newly created map image appeared, as  
if my magic.

However, as I zoomed in no box appeared, nor even cross hairs.

 From looking around, it would appear I might be the first person in  
history this has not worked for?

Have I missed something. I have :

MapServer version 5.2.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP  
OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE  
SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT  
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER  
SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR  
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

(thanks again to William Kyngesbury)

and the rest of the map details are :

MAP
     NAME trade
     UNITS DD
     EXTENT      90 4 120 24 #  full map extents

Hi all!

I get this error message with "TYPE ANNOTATION" in a polygon layer:

$ shp2img -m ubicacion_regional.map -o p.pdf
fatal exception: [1906] PDF_moveto: Floating point number 2147483648
too large for PDF

With "TYPE polygon" the program runs normally.

I've tried with MapServer version 5.2.1 and with svn version.

Ask me the data and the mapfile, so you can try to reproduce this.

I've opened a ticket in trac system, but, maybe someone in the list
knows what is wrong with this.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

I think that you must provide more information. At least, the contents
of ogr.map (at least, the LAYER object).

Hi,

 

     You have to create empty mapfile using point type and call the_geom
form table .access data from database based on variables.For that you have
to write code in your programming language. Exp C# etc.

 

Thanks

Venkat.

Jos?,

  I ran into that problem a couple of days ago.  I had a rogue COLOR object in my LAYER:

  LAYER
    NAME '082h04_1_0_TO_2520009_0'
    TYPE annotation
    DATA 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Topo\data\vector\Canvec_50\082\H\082h04_1_0_TO_2520009_0'
    STATUS DEFAULT
    LABELITEM 'TOPONAME'
    CLASSITEM 'TYPE'
    CLASS
      COLOR 0 0 0 	# this causes a "too large for PDF" error
      NAME 'TYPE = 4' 
      EXPRESSION '4' 
      LABEL 
        FONT "tuffy5"
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        COLOR 80 80 80
	:

Taking out the (useless) COLOR object made it work.

Subject: [mapserver-users] produce hardcopy maps
Message-ID: <a37ffbf90812190951k463e189dq113850cb23d439c@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all.

I have worked several days, trying to get MapServer maps in vector format
(PDF, SVG), to produce printed maps. I had intended to open the maps with
Inkscape, to make the final composition with this program.

But I encounter many difficulties. Especially with:

- scale and resolution of the map
- scale of the symbols
- style of the symbols
- labels (angle = follow not work; incorrect alignment in SVG format)

As my maps are relatively small, and also need to move forward with my work,
I have decided to use the PNG format (with the driver AGG).

Is a correct decision? Or instead, should it be possible to get maps in PDF
/ SVG as these maps are seen in picture format?

Sorry for my english.
Thanks for any advice.
Jos? Mar?a

PS: Later I hope to continue working towards bringing the maps to Inkscape.

Jos?,

  I would agree that the current implementation of PDF output is not suitable for producing printed maps.  I'll be looking into fixing some of the open tickets (and other bugs I've found), and intend to add some additional FORMATOPTIONs to improve the setting of scale and resolution.  Hopefully the changes will make it into version 5.4 (release in first quarter of 2009?).

Brent,

I'm glad to hear that you'd like to work on PDF issues, that's much 
needed, but before you invest time in this, you should be aware that 
there is also a switch from pdflib to libharu in the air:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2661

Not sure if/when that's going to happen, but it may be a good idea to 
share your plans on the -dev list before you spend time on this.

Hi all.

I'm more interested in the SVG format, rather than the PDF format. The only
reason that I prefer SVG, is that this format are best for later editing in
programs like Inkscape.

And, what about Postcript format? Is strange to me, that MapServer does not
have support for PS output format.

Saludos
Jos? Mar?a

Probably a combination of the fact that MapServer is primarily used for 
web browsing and not printing (contrary to PDF/SVG, PS is not exactly 
Web-friendly), plus the lack of demand/funding for this specific output 
format.

Hi,

I'm currently involved in developing an application using Postgis, mapserver, OpenLayers & GMT which needs to generate interactive mapserver maps as well as maps suitable for publication in a scientific journal.

The vector data is held in Postgis, with some raster backgrounds via WMS. A mapserver based application via OpenLayers allows users to plot user selected subsets of the vector data, & a GMT tab in the application allows publication quality maps to be produced with GMT, then downloaded. It is pretty basic at present, pretty much a prototype, but we are considering expanding the fuctionality so that the GMT map picks up the user selections on the mapserver tab so the GMT extent, data layers, etc, will default to those in the mapserver tab.

The main reason for this is we are working with data around Antarctica, where a polar plot is ideal, but not that easy to manage with mapserver, so a rectangular mapserver map, while distorted, is adequate for data browsing, but for cartographic output, it is not good enough. GMT can generate good quality polar plots, so we can generate those & make them available as ps or png images, (png allows preview in the browser).

Cheers,

  Brent Wood

Thanks very much for all your responses.

At first, I thought of using GMT to produce these maps. So I learned to use
GMT, and I was very happy with the results. For some small details, finally,
I decided to use MapServer.

Saludos
Jos? Mar?a

PS: I've wrote a small and simple Python script to extract labels from a
MapServer labels cache. This script, produces an ASCII file for use with
pstext. Ask me this script, if can be useful. The labels generated,
maintains generalization made by MapServer, and angle (with angle=auto in
label object in mapfile).

then i have execute this .ovf in command line as follows

Subject: [mapserver-users] want plot dynamic points in map
Message-ID: <e8411a160812192305l165e328aq84de1c38e0fab5e3@mail.gmail.com>

hi all

           i am doing project in vehicle tracking system.wat i want is
ploting dynamic points in the map.

if point is static means i can able to plot in particular location,my map
file is mention blow


*LAYER
  NAME 'gps_point'
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POINT
  FEATURE
    # This is where you specify position on the map - using a default value
    POINTS 0 0 END
  END
  CLASS
    STYLE
      SYMBOL "marker"
    END
  END
 END


SYMBOL
  NAME "marker"
  TYPE PIXMAP
  IMAGE "C:\ms4w\apps\ka-map-1.0\htdocs\images\bus.gif"
  #TRANSPARENT 8
END*

in the above map file one statement *POINTS 0,0* is there , i am adding
static image (bus)in the map,

i want to add dynamic object in the map,that is  current location of vehicle
in the map,i should take the longitude and latitude from database.

for example

*POINTS longitude,latitude*

if anybody is having the sample code,or come across this kind of
issue,please help me out from this,for the past 1 month i am trying to do
this,but i am not getting any resource for this.

please help me out from this.


thanks in advance

Muzaffar,

It looks like you aqidata.ovf file is in C:\MS4W\tools\gdal-ogr but your
mapfile is in C:\MS4W\tools\mapserv.  I don't see anything in your mapfile
indicating how to find aqidata.ovf.  For simplicity I would suggest you use
a full path to the .ovf file in the .map file.

Best regards,

I don't see any reference to you creating an ODBC connection to your 
table, as in 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/vector_data/VirtualSpatialData 
  I would try those steps listed in that page.

I'm trying to view a raster which is in ArcSDE 9.3 with the mapfile below:

In the log generated, the following message appears:

msDrawRaster(): Unable to access file.
(SDE:10.234.85.59,5151,sde,user,pass,sde.user.RGB_2004,footprint)

I'm using MS4W 2.2.7.
All other types of data worked very well.
Does anyone know what is wrong with my mapfile?

Hello all

I need a little help here
If I run the following


$NewShapeFromWkt = ms_shapeObjFromWkt( "MULTIPOLYGON(((566725.7595

$new_shape = $NewShapeFromWkt->Buffer(-0.1);	
echo($new_shape->toWkt());


I get this shape, and it remove one of the shapes in the multipolygon
can any one try and see if they get the same error ?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Clipping
Message-ID: <442525.70271.qm@web88008.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Good morning list, 
I'm looking for a function and/or method to clip a 
polygon. In general, I need to limit a polygon to the map boundary for export 
(export as shapefile from a web map)...so if I had a 20x20 square that was 
overlapping the visible map by 10 units, the exported result would be a 10x20 
rectangle.  PHP MapScript is my weapon of choice.  I'd also welcome opinions on 
the approach or suggestions for alternatives.


Thanks for your assistance,


Josh

Subject: [mapserver-users] changing layer projection
Message-ID: <68D8CEC8857C4F98A449AF02B586EB04@ChadsVista>

I have been updating my mapserver cgi application from 4.10 to 5.21 and it appears we have lost the ability to change a layers projection parameter from the url.  In version 4.1 I could change it with "map_layername_projection=init=epsg:26914".  With 5.21 I have tried "map_layer[layername]_projection=init=epsg:26914" and numerous other combinations to no avail.

Does anyone know how to change a layers projection with 5.21?

Thanks,
Chad

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer requires unnecessary SERVICE=WMS
	parameter in GetMap request
Message-ID: <495013DD.4020602@nsidc.org>

Dear MapServer users,
I recently discovered that MapServer (we are using 5.2.0) requires a 
SERVICE parameter (i.e. SERVICE=WMS) in a GetMap OGC request even though 
this parameter is not mentioned or required in the WMS 1.1.1 OGC 
specification for GetMap requests:

http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms

It is strange that this is so since GetFeature and GetCoverage both 
require the SERVICE paramter, but for whatever reason the GetMap spec 
doesn't. Kind of an inconsistency in the OGC services, but MapServer 
needs to abide by it.

This cropped up when a user contacted me that our WMS services were not 
working in ArcGIS 9.2 after we upgraded MapServer from 4.9 to 5.2. After 
discussion with ESRI, they pointed out that MapServer was throwing an 
error about a missing SERVICE parameter because they do not include this 
parameter in their GetMap requests. However, the SERVICE parameter 
should not be required according to the spec.

I modified our CGI to fill this parameter in by default if not provided 
as a workaround, but a future release of MapServer should probably 
remove the requirement for this parameter in GetMap requests. Or am I 
missing something (always a possibility!)? Thanks!
Cheers,

Right you are, another hidden gem of the specification... I've
assigned a ticket to this. It seems pretty important to my mind, so if
others are busy, I'll fix it.

Arg, it was indeed. My cursory trac search didn't turn it up :(

I'll close out that new ticket.

I don't know how to make this using only PHP,  but combining with
postgis, you can clip geometries using something like:

SELECT intersection(the_Geom, <box3d>) FROM <table> WHERE the_Geom && <box3d>;

You can also do intersections with the GEOS methods exposed in MapScript
(all flavors) assuming
you have GEOS support compiled in...

I execute your code, with its data, in my system, with the following
results: One of the polygons has been eliminated, just like as in
their case. In addition, my result, it has more vertices. In the
attached image you can see the differences (or at least part of them).
I don't know which is the reason for the difference in resolution
(number of vertices).

My result:

POLYGON ((566725.8376634184969589 6131923.2451023338362575,

Dear All,

 

  I want to create Legend for Single layer. I have 5 layers on my Map. But I
need to generate legend for single layer. Is it possible to generate Legend
for single layer. If some one done the same task. Please let me know.

 

 I am waiting for your great response.

 

Thanks,

All,

I wanted to let you know that we are on track to migrate the current  
MapServer website from its host at UMN to a server at TelaScience  
(provided graciously through TelaScience's relationship with OSGeo --  
the same machine that hosts http://www.gdal.org and http://grass.osgeo.org 
) next week (Dec 30th).

On the 30th, the alias for mapserver.gis.umn.edu will be changed to  
point at the alias for http://mapserver.osgeo.org, which will be the  
new permanent home for the site.  A preview of the site is already at http://mapserver.osgeo.org 
, and we'll be continuing to make additions as we build up to the 30th  
switchover.

Some of the improvements and additions include:

- A PDF containing all of the docs (nearly 600 pages worth!) http://mapserver.osgeo.org/MapServer.pdf
- Updated glossary http://mapserver.osgeo.org/glossary.html
- Significant work on the "New Users" doc (now called "An Introduction  
to MapServer") by Jeff McKenna http://mapserver.osgeo.org/introduction.html
- A lot more internal referencing.  Links and notes and annotations  
have been placed throughout the documentation (and more are being  
continually added) that provide more context, more depth, and more  
related content.
- Better styling, faster static website, and the promise of more up-to- 
date docs.  The new site works much better with our documentation  
writing workflow -- making it easier for people who write docs to  
write them.  This will ultimately mean better docs in the long run.
- (Hopefully) better organization

Thanks,


Howard

Hi,

 Thanks  for your great response.I  am not using CGI.I am using  asp
C#.net.I have created a method which generates legend.But it is doing for
all the layers.And my layer does  the expression property.based on the
expression I m displaying polygon.

   Below code is for trying to get legend for single layer.But it is not
working.

            layer = MapFunction.Map.getLayerByName("TestLayer");
            classObj classLegend = new classObj(layer);
            imageObj imagelegend = MapFunction.Map.drawLegend();
            string strFile ="C:\\temp\\test.png";
            imagelegend.save(strFile,MapFunction.Map);


Thanks
Venkat.

Hi,

You can do so using mode=legend request. Eg: 
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=legend&map=mapfile&layer=layer_name"
This will give the legend only for the layer that you pass in the url.

In addition to this, is there a facility to generate legend for a layer 
with a filter, where the filter takes in parameters passed from URL to 
generate polygons??

Thanks & regards,
Subha

Before you call drawLegend, change the visibility of all other layers to
false (status == MS_OFF), the legend only draws for the visible layers.

When you're done, restore the visibility.

Meanwhile, the easiest solution for those using 5.0-5.2.0 is adding 
"service=wms" to the onlineresource string in the metadata section of 
the mapfile, as documented in

Hello

Thank you for running the code

Okay there is an error in the buffer function.
The reason why I have less vertices/segments is because I have changed the code to take a parameter to tell how many vertices/segments.

Jeppe

It may not be an error in the buffer function. It could be an error in
MapServer's GEOS support, specifically
in the code that does the translation between GEOS geometries and
MapServer shapeObj's.

Can you try converting your WKT polygon to a shape and then back to
WKT? They should match, but if not
that could be the source of the error. Also, what version are we taking
about (GEOS and MapServer)?

Wow, the much neglected 'New Users' page looks great Jeff and Howard.  

Let me know if you want me to contribute.  

David.

All,

I wanted to let you know that we are on track to migrate the current  
MapServer website from its host at UMN to a server at TelaScience  
(provided graciously through TelaScience's relationship with OSGeo --  
the same machine that hosts http://www.gdal.org and
http://grass.osgeo.org 
) next week (Dec 30th).

On the 30th, the alias for mapserver.gis.umn.edu will be changed to  
point at the alias for http://mapserver.osgeo.org, which will be the  
new permanent home for the site.  A preview of the site is already at
http://mapserver.osgeo.org 
, and we'll be continuing to make additions as we build up to the 30th  
switchover.

Some of the improvements and additions include:

- A PDF containing all of the docs (nearly 600 pages worth!)
http://mapserver.osgeo.org/MapServer.pdf
- Updated glossary http://mapserver.osgeo.org/glossary.html
- Significant work on the "New Users" doc (now called "An Introduction  
to MapServer") by Jeff McKenna
http://mapserver.osgeo.org/introduction.html
- A lot more internal referencing.  Links and notes and annotations  
have been placed throughout the documentation (and more are being  
continually added) that provide more context, more depth, and more  
related content.
- Better styling, faster static website, and the promise of more up-to- 
date docs.  The new site works much better with our documentation  
writing workflow -- making it easier for people who write docs to  
write them.  This will ultimately mean better docs in the long run.
- (Hopefully) better organization

Thanks,


Howard

Iam using mapserver 5.2 with 3.0.0 Geos

if I do this
$NewShapeFromWkt = ms_shapeObjFromWkt( "MULTIPOLYGON(((566725.7595 6131923.3645, 566755.923 6131916.786, 566774.0885 6131912.417, 566794.538 6131907.418, 566798.6035 6131901.309, 566788.164 6131836.8625, 566779.4235 6131830.6935, 566724.0525 6131841.7915, 566723.665 6131863.507, 566714.6605 6131868.216, 566718.157 6131885.2325, 566725.7595 6131923.3645)), ((566655.975 6131935.652, 566661.6235 6131937.282, 566696.924 6131929.5735, 566694.755 6131919.4455, 566702.3 6131917.506, 566704.304 6131927.964, 566725.6935 6131923.2945, 566718.091 6131885.1625, 566652.446 6131899.0795, 566655.975 6131935.652)))" );
echo($NewShapeFromWkt->toWkt());

I get the WKT just with more digits
so it seems to be GEOS that has an error

Any and all are welcome to contribute :)

That particular doc's source code is http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/trunk/docs/introduction.txt 
   Start by filing tickets in Trac under the Documentation component

Subject: [mapserver-users] ogr2ogr hangs converting e00 files
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0812230943570.8539@stokes.meteo.psu.edu>

Hi...

I'm trying to convert .e00 international boundary files into shapefile 
format using ogr2ogr, but when I run the conversion, ogr2ogr just hangs 
and hogs the processor.  Here's the details:

OS:  RH Linux 4.7 (2.6.9-78.0.8.ELsmp)
gdal:  1.5.1 basic

command: ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" bound.shp bound.e00

output:
   ERROR 6: Can't create fields of type IntegerList on shapefile layers.

   ERROR 6: Can't create fields of type IntegerList on shapefile layers.

   (then hangs hogging the processor...)

Even though ogr2ogr hangs, it still produces a bunch of files including a 
bound.shp file.  However, when I try to display that file using mapserver, 
it just produces a blank screen.

output from ogrinfo for bound.e00:
   Had to open data source read-only.
   INFO: Open of `bound.e00'
         using driver `AVCBin' successful.
   1: ARC (Line String)
   2: CNT (Point)
   3: LAB (Point)
   4: PAL (Polygon)

The bound.e00 file I'm using for testing is the North American Atlas 
political boundaries file from nationalatlas.gov.

On a related note, does anyone know whether an open source file of 
international political/land boundaries exists that would save me the work 
of trying to combine a bunch of individual files together?  I've searched 
high and low and can't seem to find anything...

                      Thanks...

I don't believe e00 write access is supported by OGR 
(http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_avce00.html), so I would use the AVCE00 
library (http://avce00.maptools.org/avce00/index.html) to convert to 
coverage and then ogr2ogr to shapefile.


happy holidays all.

Perhaps I'm missing something... but the command I'm using is supposed to 
*read* the .e00 file and *write* the shapefile... so why would ogr2ogr be 
writing a .e00 file?  Do I have something backwards, or is there an 
intermediate step I'm not aware of?

                        Thanks...

Arthur,

Could you provide a direct pointer to the dataset in question?

Assembling polygons from an E00 file is quite expensive, so for files with
a lot of complex polygons it may take an unreasonable amount of time to
assemble them properly.  It is often helpful to first convert the E00
file into an arc/info binary coverage with avcimport.

Best regards,

Okay... I did an avcimport of the bounds.e00 file and got a bunch of new 
files.  Then I did the ogr2ogr on that, and it ran and finished.  And, it 
pops up in mapserver like it's supposed to.  A bit mysterious to me, but 
your suggestion worked.  Thanks for the help...

Great work!

And excellent that these docs are comming from svn.

I already have a remark in 
http://svn.osgeo.org/mapserver/trunk/docs/mapfile/index.txt;

.. seealso::
    :ref:`introduction` for "An Introduction to the Mapfile"

Is ignored.

I tried to go to trac to see if I could attach a ticket, but I noticed 
trac chokes on ref and seealso too. perhaps there is a trac module for 
the documentation structure used?

Anyhow, 3 thumbs up ;-)!

This is due to the fact that the .. seealso:: directive can only be  
interpreted by Sphinx instead of Trac.  To keep things from blowing  
up, I have changed the mime-type on the documentation files to text/ 
plain so Trac doesn't try to interpret them.  You should be able to  
file a ticket and work with them more easily now.

How about:

Steve

>>> "Chad Ringenberg" <chad at agridatainc.com> 12/22/08 3:50 PM >>>
I have been updating my mapserver cgi application from 4.10 to 5.21 and it appears we have lost the ability to change a layers projection parameter from the url.  In version 4.1 I could change it with "map_layername_projection=init=epsg:26914".  With 5.21 I have tried "map_layer[layername]_projection=init=epsg:26914" and numerous other combinations to no avail.

Does anyone know how to change a layers projection with 5.21?

Thanks,
Chad

Message-ID: <53F9CF533E1AA14EA1F8C5C08ABC08D205378785@ZDND.DND.boston.cob>

I recall hearing that the 5.2 Mapserver has support for Tile Mapping
Service for easy integration with Google and Virtual Earth.

Are there any examples of using this floating around aside from the RFC

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-43

>From the RFC, I'm guessing my layers should support the VE and Google
Earth projections or does that automatically happen if my data is
projected? and TMS is not another layer type such as the case when
Mapserver acts as a WMS client.

More specifically 
I gather that this is a Mapserver living in a VE/GMap model rather than
(VE living in a Mapserver model).  It is not the server grabbing VE
tiles and server/overlaying and returning a single image (which hmm I
suppose may not be legal anyway or at least not so for Google).


Thanks,
Regina

This assumes a few things:

1) that you have installed Proj4 and built mapserver to use it
2) you have added EPSG:900913 to your epsg file
3) you have set up your mapfile to have projection blocks on all layers 
and probably the MAP object.

Yes, this is how I read it also. This allows you to define a source for 
tiles that gMap or VE javaScript APIs can then pull map tiles into their 
infrastructure from maps you have defined in mapserver. Not the other 
way around.

Hello and Merry X-mas to all,

Bit of a bother here. I've received a point layer to add to my current app,
and while I'm able to render it, I cannot get a query to work.

Even with a huge tolerance, clicking on points does not return a result.
The shapefile check outs fine and queries in ESRI and Qgis apps.

Using MS 5.3-dev from FWTools, on XP

would appreciate some help,

Attached is the map file,

regards,

nikos

I believe that the LAYER/CLASS object lacks the TEMPLATE parameter.
You may want to check this.

For example, you must add a line in this way:

> ########################
> map
> ....
>  # 2 layer 2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa
>  layer
>    classitem "AFM"
>    data "2006_xy_opekepe_Karditsa"

Hi,

Document http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server tells:

>         Configuring for GetFeatureInfo Requests:

>      You must set the layer TEMPLATE parameter for the layer to be queryable by GetFeatureInfo
> requests. For requests of type "text/html" you should also set the layer HEADER and FOOTER
> parameters.
(My addition here: The file that TEMPLATE refers to must exist in your computer, but it can be even an empty file).

>      For GetFeatureInfo requests of GML you must set the layer to DUMP TRUE in the mapfile. As of 
> MapServer 4.6 you must also set the gml_* metadata for the layer attributes to be served (see the 
> Layer Object metadata in the Reference Section later in this document).

Thus, try these steps:

1) add DUMP TRUE
2) add TEMPLATE c:\ms4w\apps\template\foo.html and create an empty foo.html file with that name
3) add to layer metadata "ows_include_items" "all"
 
That should be enough.

Since I haven't received a response yet on my question I will explain a little further what I'm am doing.  I have numerous raster images from different sources that I dynamically load via cgi.  Sometimes these images are in a different projection than my resulting map.  I can still change the data parameter for the raster layer but have been unable to change the projection.  I was able to do this in 4.1 but it appears to have been removed in 5.x or a bug was introduced.  

Can the projection parameter for a layer be changed in 5.x or should I file a bug report?

Thanks,
Chad

  Subject: changing layer projection


  I have been updating my mapserver cgi application from 4.10 to 5.21 and it appears we have lost the ability to change a layers projection parameter from the url.  In version 4.1 I could change it with "map_layername_projection=init=epsg:26914".  With 5.21 I have tried "map_layer[layername]_projection=init=epsg:26914" and numerous other combinations to no avail.

  Does anyone know how to change a layers projection with 5.21?

  Thanks,
  Chad

I sent a reply to the list on the 23rd, did you see/try that? The proper syntax for
a layer projection is:

  map_layer[layername]=PROJECTION%20init%3Depsg%3A26914%20END

I checked the code and a projection can be modified by URL.

I hadn't received the previous email for some reason.  I tried the 
suggestion below but received the following error.

loadProjection(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (:):(line 1)

Thax all for responding,

Probably need to quote the string within the projection block. :'s probably aren't allowed
in unquoted strings. The fact the error is from loadProjection means we're getting to the
right place. Try:

  map_layer[layername]=PROJECTION%20"init%3Depsg%3A26914"%20END

Hello friend maybe i know whats the problem did you check if you newgeo column is registered on the geometry_column table, because mapserver look for the field of geometry there and then make the graphic
I hope yopu could solveypour problem with this 
Happy Holidays

Subject: [mapserver-users] LAYER LABEL ANGLE Calculation Problem
Message-ID: <8AECC6DBE7FC444693271A8EC894C7CF@DELL>

I am looking for some help if possible.

I am putting labels on a map and the angle is stored in database field
called "orientation". Orientation is in 10ths of degrees so I need to divide
by 10 to get degrees. I also need to offset by 90 degrees as the number
starts at east, not north. Ideally I would just like to do the following in
the LABEL definition:

ANGLE (([orientation]/10)-90)

... But it doesn't work - getting pink tiles.

ANGLE [orientation] does work but obviously the labels are NOT at the right
angle.

Here's the full layer definition:

LAYER CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
	NAME "CartographicText"
	CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=MasterMap host=localhost"
	DATA "geom FROM cartographictext USING UNIQUE toid"
	STATUS DEFAULT
  
	MINSCALEDENOM 1
	MAXSCALEDENOM 1300

	TYPE ANNOTATION

	DEBUG ON

	LABELITEM textstring
	CLASS
		EXPRESSION ([featurecode] = 10169)
		LABEL
			TYPE truetype
			FONT arial
			SIZE 6
			COLOR  0 0 0
			OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
			BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 0 0
			ANTIALIAS TRUE
			ANGLE [orientation]
		END # LABEL
	END # CLASS
END # LAYER


Regards,

Donald

you can let postgres calculate the angle for you:

DATA "geom FROM (select geom, toid, orientation/10-90 as orientation
from cartographictext) as foo  USING UNIQUE toid"

and then use
angle [orientation]
in your label

I've been struggling with this problem all day and cannot make any progress.
I hope that someone can help.

I want to convert a polyline points array into a MapServer Symbol but keep

Here's the polyline array:

Message-ID: <9C37154DC7C8074FBC34214363755B7C280714@ITB-SVR-01.itbeyond.local>

Hi,

 

Using MapServer 5.0.2

 

I am using a database bind for a SYMBOL Style Angle however I am finding
that the ANGLE show appears to be out and rendering backwards ie: ANGLE
10 is sloping a little to the left not right and angle 350 is sloping to
the right. I am using a symbol made up of a | char as below:

 

SYMBOL

    NAME 'landingground'

    TYPE TRUETYPE

    CHARACTER "|"

    FONT ARIAL

    POSITION CC

END

 

Showing on a map using 

CLASS

                STYLE

                SYMBOL 'circle'

                COLOR 255 255 255

END

                ANGLE [ORIENTATN] # supplied from ShapeFile

                ANTIALIAS TRUE 

            END

END

 

When I render this URL: 

http://mt1.exploroz.com/iMapPlot/GetMapTile.aspx?reload=1&key=test&mode=

imgy=128&imgxy=256+256

 

(One of the tiles for my OL system) - showing an Airport defined at
ANGLE 321 you will see the Airstrip sloping to the right when it should
be mirrored and sloping to the left.

 

Any one else seen this or have a fix?

Message-ID: <FA658722813747DFB1F4B48876CC5AA7@DELL>

Just to add a wee bit to this. I have a number of symbols that I would like
to recreate in MapServer. I have an image of what they should look like and
I have the arrays of polyline points. What I don't really know is the
limitations of the MapServer vector points i.e. the maximum number of points
that can be used and the highest positive/negative numbers that can be used.
I believe that "-99" works as 'pen up' but does that mean that -98 and 98
are the maximum? Also, do the point values have to be integer values? If
not, how many numbers after the point e.g. 1.12345 etc.

If I take the polyline points like the following then the server throws a
CGI wobbly and needs restarting:

SYMBOL
	NAME 'boulderGeometry'
	TYPE VECTOR
	FILLED FALSE

If I take just part of the above then it still doesn't work:

	END # POINTS
END # SYMBOL

Any help most greatly appreciated.

by default it's 100. you can change the MS_MAXVECTORPOINTS constant in
mapsymbol.h to change that limit.

-99 is the reserved value for penup, ie you can use -100 for the actual points.

not necessarily integer. you can use as many numbers after the point as you wish

you've got a comma here, the parser can't recognize two numbers

there's a limitation with the vector code that expects  all values to
be positive when computing the symbol size. I'm hoping this will be
fixed in 5.4 / 6.0

Is that the reason why the above appears not to work i.e. the size issue? I
will try changing everything to a positive number to see if that works.

As a side issue, do the positive/negative numbers have a bearing on the
anchor point of the symbol or is that always in the centre of the symbol?

Many thanks.

Regards,

Donald

as of now, the symbol is centered on the anchor point. I'd be in favor
of having a way to specify the anchor point, either by fixing it on
0,0 , or by specifying it alongside the symbol, eg ANCHORPOINT 0.3 2

Message-ID: <4AAB06B2B6D84CE49BA51ABE32C4FADD@DELL>

I have a problem that has me stumped.

I am trying to place text on a map as a LABEL which I can successfully do
with the following code:

LAYER CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
	NAME "CartographicText"
	CONNECTION "user=postgres dbname=MasterMap host=localhost"
	DATA "geom FROM (SELECT toid, featurecode, textstring,
orientation/10 AS orientation, fontnumber, anchorposition, textstyle, geom
FROM cartographictext) AS foo USING UNIQUE toid" 

	METADATA
		"IMAGEFORMAT" "AGGA"
	END

	STATUS DEFAULT
  
	MINSCALEDENOM 1
	MAXSCALEDENOM 1300
	SYMBOLSCALEDENOM 1250

	TYPE ANNOTATION

	LABELITEM textstring

	CLASS
		# Road Name Or Classification
		EXPRESSION ([featurecode] = 10169)
		LABEL
			TYPE truetype
			FONT arial
			SIZE 10
			MAXSIZE 30
			MINSIZE 0
			COLOR  0 0 0
			ANTIALIAS TRUE
			ANGLE [orientation]
		END # LABEL
	END # CLASS

	CLASS
		# Building or Structure Text
		EXPRESSION ([featurecode] = 10026)
		LABEL
			TYPE truetype
			FONT arial
			SIZE 7
			MAXSIZE 21
			MINSIZE 0
			COLOR  0 0 0
			ANTIALIAS TRUE
			ANGLE [orientation]
		END # LABEL
	END # CLASS

END # LAYER

I want to add POSITION based on [anchorposition] from the database.

The database grid for anchorposition is as follows:

2  5  8
1  4  7
0  3  6

Whereas MapServer is as follows

ul uc ur
cl cc cr
ll lc lr

Which is probably:

0  1  2
3  4  5
6  7  8

The question is: Is it possible to take the values from the database and
convert them for use within the LABEL e.g. 2 = ul = "POSITION ul" or 5 = uc
= "POSITION uc"?

I would also like to be able to change the Font based on [fontnumber] from
the database e.g. 0 = Arial = "FONT arial" or 1 = Times = "FONT times"

Are these things possible?

Many thanks.

Regards,

Donald Kerr

Another potential solution would be to create a true type font character
and use that as your symbol.

That might be worth a try. I'll be working on this problem later today wo
will give it a go and see how I get on. I also want to try getting the
polyline points into a vector format just to satisfy myself that it can be
done that way. The TTF solution might be a bit neater and easier.

Many thanks.

I think that, yes! The numeric values for these constants are defined
in mapserv.h:

enum MS_POSITIONS_ENUM {MS_UL=101, MS_LR, MS_UR, MS_LL, MS_CR, MS_CL,
MS_UC, MS_LC, MS_CC, MS_AUTO, MS_XY , MS_FOLLOW};

The positions following to the MS_UL, adopt their values automaticly
(MS_LR=102, and so on).

Yes again. You must define your fonts in a FONTSET file. These file
have entries like this one:

"times   /archivos/mapping/fonts/times.ttf
arial   /archivos/mapping/fonts/arial.ttf
..."

The first column, is the name of the font, and the second column is
the full path to the font. You can choose the name, so you can choose
a number as font name:

0   /archivos/mapping/fonts/times.ttf
1   /archivos/mapping/fonts/arial.ttf
...

I'm not sure if numbers are allowed in font names. Anyway, you can do
some string manipulation to get the desired result.

All,

I would vote for both the 0,0 anchoring by default and the use of the ANCHORPOINT function.   These things gave me no end of problems when I first started out with MapServer.  Took a while to figure out how to anchor oddly shaped symbols for example.

as of now, the symbol is centered on the anchor point. I'd be in favor
of having a way to specify the anchor point, either by fixing it on
0,0 , or by specifying it alongside the symbol, eg ANCHORPOINT 0.3 2

At the moment POSITION is not bindable. If you file a bug then that can be changed. Once changed
you could use a PostgreSQL case statement to map your position codes to MapServer values (e.g.
1 => UL or whatever).

> I would also like to be able to change the Font based on [fontnumber] from

Fonts are bindable so you'd just need a case statement to map your codes to font names that
MapServer recognizes.

Is it possible to create the case statement in MapServer e.g. "SELECT Geom
FROM (<CASE SELECT IN HERE>) USING UNIQUE oid"?

If you have any experience of doing this can you pen a quick example for me
please?

Many thanks.

I think that, yes! The numeric values for these constants are defined
in mapserv.h:

enum MS_POSITIONS_ENUM {MS_UL=101, MS_LR, MS_UR, MS_LL, MS_CR, MS_CL,
MS_UC, MS_LC, MS_CC, MS_AUTO, MS_XY , MS_FOLLOW};

The positions following to the MS_UL, adopt their values automaticly
(MS_LR=102, and so on).

Yes again. You must define your fonts in a FONTSET file. These file
have entries like this one:

"times   /archivos/mapping/fonts/times.ttf
arial   /archivos/mapping/fonts/arial.ttf
..."

The first column, is the name of the font, and the second column is
the full path to the font. You can choose the name, so you can choose
a number as font name:

0   /archivos/mapping/fonts/times.ttf
1   /archivos/mapping/fonts/arial.ttf
...

I'm not sure if numbers are allowed in font names. Anyway, you can do
some string manipulation to get the desired result.

David,

I gave up on trying to recreate the vector symbols and have been working
away to create a font containing all the symbols (about 80 in total). This
seems to work very well and provides a neat way of packaging them for use by
others.

Great suggestion!

Many thanks.

Donald

I believe the size is computed from the max x, y coordinates and 0,0. That size (and the Style size) is then used
to offset the symbol so it is centered accordingly. Typically I always develop vector symbols on a unit square (0 
to 1) so that things work predictably. As suggested later in this thread a TTF is a nice alternative for anything
complex. I use 'FontCreator' and it works quite nicely.

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer Website Migration
Message-ID: <49591601.5157.008F.0@dnr.state.mn.us>

Hi all: Perhaps you've already noticed the change, but regardless, the MapServer PSC is pleased to
announce the migration of the MapServer website to a new domain and platform. This move completes
the MapServer migration of services to OSGeo.

It also marks the end of an era. For years the MapServer project has been hosted by the University
of Minnesota (UMN) and this move completes the MapServer migration of services to OSGeo. I am 
grateful for the long-term support of Dr. Tom Burk and his staff, especially Trent Erikson. Without 
their efforts the project would not be where it is today. Infrastructure is a thankless job!

The work to migrate the website was funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and principally 
accomplished by Howard Butler and Jeff McKenna. If you run into them make sure to buy them a
beer. ;-) Thanks to OSGeo for the infrastructure necessary to support the website (and mailing lists,
and wiki and svn - you get the idea).

Special thanks to Chris Schmidt for a bunch of document conversion work and to Thomas Bonfort 
and Tom Kralidis for the nifty OpenLayers/MapServer interface on the new home page.

As with anything new there are likely to be bugs or omissions with the new website. We ask for
your patience. For the moment, please report bugs or omissions to mapserver-users or file a bug
in trac (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver) and someone will take care of it.

Oh, the site, it's at:

  http://mapserver.osgeo.org/

The old address will redirect folks for some time to come...

Steve

I found some TRAC history on this issue and it appears to have been
reported. I have also worked around the problem by changing the | char
to a - character and increasing the symbol size in the map file.

Just wanted to post this update for other looking at the same issue.

Hi,

We have built a map based web portal using Openlayers and Mapserver 5.0.2.
We have multiple layers being rendered using Mapserver.
But we are facing an issue here.
On large monitors  with the resolutions, "1680 x 1050", "1856 x 1392" 
,"1920 x 1080"(21 inches and above), mapserver doesn't render images.
It throws an error saying "WMS server error.Image size out of 
range,Width and height must be between 1 and 2048 pixels."

I have tried setting the "MAXSIZE" as 2048 in my map file but it doesn't 
seem to work.

My mapfile is as follows:

map
  size 725 800
  imagetype png
  imagecolor 225 225 225
  projection
    "init=epsg:4326"
  end
  extent 60 0 100 40
  maxsize 2048
outputformat
    name "jpg"
    driver "GD/JPEG"
    extension "jpg"
    formatoption "QUALITY=85"
  end
layer
  name xyz
  connectiontype postgis
  connection "user= abc dbname=qwe password=fgg host=localhost"
  group world
  type polygon
  status on
  data "topology from table"
  class
    style
      width 3
    outlinecolor 000 000 255
    end
  end
  end
end

Is there something wrong that in the mapfile? Or if there is any other 
solution that someone knows, please let me know.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Subha

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I will try that and check if it works.

Subject: [mapserver-users] umn map server requested url not found on this
	server error
Message-ID: <28babe2b0812300332w49185431pbe16aae6541ab26a@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everybody;

I have installed ms4w on my PC succesfully. I have typed "http://localhost/"
on my web browser and main page of map server opened. After I  tested if the
server is working properly then I have create a folder called "tfc" in *
C:/ms4w/apps*  and I have created a configuration file in the folder *
c:/ms4w/httpd.d* folder called *httpd_tfc.conf *and I typed;

Alias /tfc/ "/ms4w/apps/tfc/"
<Directory "/ms4w/apps/tfc/">
AllowOverride None
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


When I typed "http://localhost/tfc/" on web browser normally  I should see
the empty file but there is a message on the opened page that "server
requested url not found on this server " error 404. What should be the
reason? I don't understand what is wrong. Why server can't find the folder.

Note: I have restarted the apache server after the configuration file.

Could you please inform me about this problem it is very urgent. Thanks a
lot.

  PROJECTION
  'proj=longlat'
  'ellps=WGS84'
  'datum=WGS84'
  'no_defs'
  ''
  END

   EXPRESSION  ('[HWYLEVEL]' = '4' and '[ONEWAY]'='0')
     STYLE
        SYMBOL 'flecha_ambos'
         SIZE 4
         #ANGLE 190

hi,
add
GAP -20
to your symbol definition, for a 20 pixel gap between arrows

regards,

Precise symbol placement is among the issues that are being
addressed in RFC45 (Symbology, Labeling, and Cartography
Improvements)
<URL: http://mapserver.osgeo.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-45.html>

In RFC45, a new tag called CENTER or ORIGIN is proposed. ANCHORPOINT
is perhaps a better name for it.  This tag could be useful to have
available both with the SYMBOL and with the STYLE.

Cite from RFC45:
CENTER/ORIGIN [x y]
Defines the centre of the symbol using decimal pixels (x axis
increasing to the right, y axis increasing downwards).
* Is used for placing a point symbol on the map or on a ?decorated? line
* Defines the centre of rotation if an ANGLE is specified for point symbols.
* Default value is the centre of the symbol?s bounding box.
* Applies to TYPE ellipse, vector, pixmap, truetype.

you've probably left an ANGLE in your style block, no ?

Your steps look valid.  I don't have the answer, but if that was me I 
would try the following:

- I might purposely make an error in httpd_tfc.conf (such as have 
"AllowOverride None1") and open a Command window and execute 
c:/ms4w/apache-restart.bat .......just to verify that an error is 
reported and I am modifying the correct Apache
- I might also download another MS4W add-on package (such as the 
"PHP/MapScript Sample Application") and restart apache, and see if I can 
access it in the web browser
_ I would then just copy that add-on folder in /ms4w/apps/ and give the 
new folder a name, and copy/rename the /ms4w/httpd.d/httpd_gmap.conf 
file and restart Apache....that process should work if the other add-on 
application worked in Apache.

Happy holidays to all.

Hi,

My first time that I will try to query by shape index.
I've searched the docs, and have not really found much.

I've seen ref's to both shpidx and shapeindex as cgi vars

What is the difference, as my ms does not recognize these vars

Also, even though I have .shx indexes in my data, do I need to index my
shapes with shptree to create a .qix file, or does ms use the .shx files?
I would then think ms would handle shpidx vars?

I'm using cgi ms and templates,

regards, and Happy New Year,

nikos

Attila:

If you're using the CGI version of Mapserver, you can insert a point via the URL to represent your search result. Check http://mapserver.osgeo.org/cgi/controls.html?highlight=map_layer (scroll down to "Changing map file parameters via a form or URL)

I use dummy layers in my mapfile that defines what the result will look like (such as an arrow, pushpin, house, etc), and how it's labeled (city name, etc). 

For example, this layer defines a simple labeled arrow:
LAYER
		NAME "pushpin"   
		STATUS off #layer must be specified ON or DEFAULT in URL for it to be drawn
		TYPE point
		UNITS dd
		PROJECTION
			"init=epsg:4326"
		END
		TRANSPARENCY ALPHA
		#Features get inserted from URL
		CLASS
		NAME "Search Result" #For map legend
			LABEL #Label TEXT gets inserted via URL
				FONT "arial"
				TYPE TRUETYPE
				POSITION ur #label positioned above and to the right of pin symbol
				SIZE 10
				WRAP "%" #newline when % encountered in string
				BUFFER 1
				COLOR 0 0 0
				BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
				FORCE TRUE
			END
		    STYLE
				SYMBOL "arrow"	#Defined in symbolfile
				COLOR 0 0 0 
				SIZE 75
			END
		END
	END

The features are inserted when the CGI is called, by adding them to the URL (or through the equivalent form value). For instance, when I run an address search, I want to plot the XY coordinates of the result, along with some info about the address. In my case, I'm using two form variables in my template that reference "map_layer_pushpin", as described in the Mapserver documentation. Since they're going from a form to the URL, they need to be escaped as "<input type="hidden" name="map_layer&#91pushpin&#93" value="">

Then when I get the search result, I have a script which sets the form value:
document.form[4].value="FEATURE POINTS "+geores+" END TEXT '"+gstreet+"%"+gcity+", "+gstate+" "+gzip+"' END";

And this makes the layer visible by calling another copy of map_layer_pushpin (you can probably just include this in the first reference to the layer, I wanted to keep track of the result and it's STATUS separately from one state to the next). 
document.eform[5].value="STATUS default"; 

When the form is submitted, Mapserver inserts the feature points, label text, and status values into the appropriate parts of the dummy layer, and draws a labeled symbol on the map at the point set in my "geores" variable. You can define your own vector symbol in the symbolfile, or reference it to a raster image. 

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I want to add a symbol to my search result. I have a mysql table with  
city names and coordinates. If I search the map zoom onto city and I  
want to add a symbol that shows the search result. How can i do this? 
Thanx for answers.

Subject: [mapserver-users] SQL join question
Message-ID: <5863BC6EA0494C498F8C7A389EF32E491D968E8638@BannerExg.banner.bannerbkgs.com>

I am using  OGR in my map file and have a CONNECTION and DATA lines.  I have a SQL statement in the DATA.  It works when I use it on the ACCESS database that is the Personal GeoDatabase in ESRI but when I put it into the map file I get an error message.  It should bring back 33 records and the message says that the search brought back no results.  I'm using a left join, which is in the example for OGR and geodatabases but the only join I can make work is an inner join and that doesn't bring back the correct results like the left join does.

This is the sql that atleast brings back some results, all be it not the results I am expecting:
SELECT *
FROM CEMSHEET_2 INNER JOIN milbank_cemetary_UTM ON CEMSHEET_2.LOT=milbank_cemetary_UTM.lot

And this one brings back the expected results in access but gives me the no results returned in GeoMoose when I run a search.

SELECT CEMSHEET_2.NAME, CEMSHEET_2.LOT, CEMSHEET_2.AGE
FROM CEMSHEET_2 LEFT JOIN milbank_cemetary_UTM ON CEMSHEET_2.LOT = milbank_cemetary_UTM.lot

>From what I have read in the documentation on mapserver, that the left join is the only join that is suppost to work but I get results when I use inner join.

Hope this makes sense.

Jim,

If you are using SELECT statements in the DATA statement of an layer
using OGR connectiontype, then you need to focus on OGR join support. This
will be completely distinct from the MapServer JOIN object.

Furthermore, OGR actually passes the SQL through access when you operate
on personal geodatabases and so any SQL operation supported by Access
should be ok.

I'd suggest you do some testing at the commandline with ogrinfo to
determine what sort of results OGR produces for different queries.

Something like:

  ogrinfo abc.mdb -sql "select * from NHDPointEventFC"

I tried simple queries against a personal geodatabase and I got
reasonable results.  I didn't try any joins.

Best regards,
