[mapserver-users] combine many georeferenced tifs in one layer

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

You can do the following things to speed up performance:

* create a spatial index on your tileindex shapefile with shptree (also make
sure you reference your TILEINDEX in the MAP file without the .shp suffix)

* create overviews in the tiff files using gdaladdo

Best regards,
Bart

> I had some troubles with the wildcards (*.tif) since the gdaltindex binary
from gdal.org doesn't seem to support them - although it says so in the
manual. I googled a bit and found fwtools which have gdaltindex implemented
as well and here the wildcards work.

> Warning 1:TIFFFetNormalTag:ASCII value for tag "copyright"
contains null byte in value; value incorrectly truncated during reading due
to implementation limitations

> But luckily that doesn't seem to influence the result. Still I would like
to know what it is trying to tell me and google doesn't know :)

> 2) when loading the layer it takes at least 20seconds for mapserver to
show it. I understand it is because of big amount of data? (50files, all in
all 40MB) Is there any way to speed this up?
