I am using orthographic projection to generate globe layer
Its showing globe but sometimes half of it or some part.
Also I am not able to rotate or pan through the globe.

In openlayers I am using var options =
{
						controls: [],
						restrictedExtent: extent,
						numZoomLevels: 10,
						maxResolution:0.49990340909090999,
						projection:"EPSG:9840"
}

and my mapfile is as follows:-

EXTENT -180 -90 180 90

UNITS DD
SIZE 550 450
PROJECTION
"proj=ortho"
"ellps=WGS84"
"lat_0=51.0000"
"lon_0=0.0000"
"x_0=0.00"
"y_0=0.00"
END

#World_Background
LAYER
    NAME "background1"
    STATUS DEFAULT
    PROJECTION
	"proj=latlong"
	 END
    TYPE RASTER
    DATA "wsiearth.tif"
    TEMPLATE "ttt.html"
END



I am confused this is due to the extent I have set  or projection definition 
set in mapfile.

Please help as this is very urgent and I have a deadline to meet.

Regards
Kusum

Hello everybody I have a problem with installation of MS4W.  I follow the
instructions on new users tab on MapServer web site. But the apache server
didin't start.

- So I have downloaded apache 2.2.10 web server from the apace web site and
installed it. It is running.

- Then I have installed OSGeo4W map server I have tested it writing mapserv
-v in the command line and it is also running.

After those installation I have tried the ms4w workshop documentation and
tutorial for some exercise but none of them has worked.

I have copied the course tutorial data in the C: drive of my computer. And I
have pointed the file "http://localhost/ms101/vector_index.html" but it
didn't work

Do you have any idea what is wrong with the installation? Please write me
soon it is important for my thesis.

Hi,

My recommendation is to go on with the easiest way, which for my mind is MS4W. Just make Apache run, it is for sure possible.

Possible reasons for Apache not starting with "apache-install.bat" include:
- port 80 is reserved for some other service
  solution: edit C:\ms4w\Apache\conf}httpd.conf and use some other port
- your user rights do not allow you to install Apache as service
  solution: start Apache as program from C:\ms4w\Apache\bin\httpd.exe

To follow-up on Jukka's good response, if you execute 
"/ms4w/"apache-install.bat" from the commandline you should be able to 
see the Apache errors in the commandline window.

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] wms getfeatureinfo get multiple results back ?
Message-ID: <20297727.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hi I'm using Mapserver with Openlayers to retrieve attributes via a
getfeatureinfo query to a postgis/wms layer. I defined templates and it
works fine to identify one point but if there are multiple points (with the
same geometry) on the same location I only get one to display in the html
template output. I added to my "wms_onlineresource"
"http://xy.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/mnt/maps/usa.map&mode=nquery&".
Any ideas what I might be missing to get multiple results back ?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Matching .TFW file with EXTENT parameter?
Message-ID: <595175.8185.qm@web56108.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

I have a map file with following MapExtent parameter:
  EXTENT 106.335006 -6.896956 107.315811 -5.983994

Recently, I got a TIFF file without coordinates. I plan to use the TIFF file with my map. Thus, I'm supposed to create a .TFW file using text editor, am I correct?

Problem is: I'm not sure what parameter to be put in the .TFW file. Here is the parameters I put in my TFW file so far:
      1.000
      0.000
      0.000
     -1.000
    106.335006
     -5.983994

And I failed to show the raster on my map.

Please note that I am merely guessing. It seems that the fifth and the sixth like of the TFW should be the leftmost and rightmost number of my EXTENT parameter, respectively, but I have no idea what the first four lines are for. 

Based on EXTENT parameter above, what the correct .TFW values should be? Many thanks,

-Kresh

Please help me. I want, that mouse click coordinates returns to the mapfile.

Message-ID: <20081103152045.7c01acd8@thoe.hq.intevation.de>

Dear mapserver-users,

I am updating a mapserver 4.1.0.3 app to mapserver 5.2.0 and found the
issue that the following mapfile-block produces a seg fault with
php-mapscript.

QUERYMAP
  COLOR 0 255 255
  STATUS on
  STYLE hilite
END

With mapserver 4.10.3 everything was fine. Is this a known issue?
Setting it the querymap to something else than STYLE 'hilite'
everything works normal. 

Did anybody run into this? I found a bug about another hilite-stuff[1],
but also the 5.2-branch from SVN has this behaviour.

Thanks for any comments on this.

Best

    Stephan

Stephan,

QUERYMAP HILITE works in our apps, so it must be something specific to 
your config or mapfile that triggers the issue. If you could please file 
a ticket with a simple testcase (data, mapfile and request URL) to 
reproduce the issue then we can have a look.

Hi Kresh,

The parameters in a .tfw file are explained here:
http://www.kralidis.ca/gis/worldfile.htm

One caveat to be aware of is that the pixel coordinates are for the center
of the pixel, not the UL corner.  So if you have an image with the UL corner
at (x,y), you need to use the following in your worldfile

Pixel_X_size
0
0
Pixel_Y_size (usually a negative number when using North-up data)
UL_x + (Pixel_X_size / 2)
UL_y + (Pixel_Y_size /2)

Browse mode expects an imgext in this case. It's necessary to turn the img.x and img.y into
map coordinates. Imgext is the extent of the map you clicked in.

Hi Kresh
Tiff World File (.tfw) 
6 rows:
First row is x-pixel resolution (width in your coordinate system)
Second and third rows are so-called "rotational components" but are set to zero in the case of an unrotated mapsheet.
The fourth row is the y-pixel resolution (dimension in coordiantes). The negative sign indicates that the image y-axis is positive down which is the opposite from real world coordinates.
The 5th and 6th rows are the Easting and Northing of the middle of the upper left pixel

I have a map file with following MapExtent parameter:
  EXTENT 106.335006 -6.896956 107.315811 -5.983994

Recently, I got a TIFF file without coordinates. I plan to use the TIFF file with my map. Thus, I'm supposed to create a .TFW file using text editor, am I correct?

Problem is: I'm not sure what parameter to be put in the .TFW file. Here is the parameters I put in my TFW file so far:
      1.000
      0.000
      0.000
     -1.000
    106.335006
     -5.983994

And I failed to show the raster on my map.

Please note that I am merely guessing. It seems that the fifth and the sixth like of the TFW should be the leftmost and rightmost number of my EXTENT parameter, respectively, but I have no idea what the first four lines are for. 

Based on EXTENT parameter above, what the correct .TFW values should be? Many thanks,

-Kresh

Message-ID: <d33d7cc00811031419y604f68ceq6d52c095996d2b16@mail.gmail.com>

Hey folks,

We've been beating ourselves up over this problem and I'm not sure what to
try next.

We can't seem to connect to SDE for a raster using GDAL in mapserver.  This
is happening on Linux.

snippit from mapfile:
TYPE RASTER
DATA "SDE:server,port:5151,sde,user,pass,schema.table,RASTER"

when trying to draw a map, i get a seg fault.  When trying a getFeatureinfo
request, I get this error:

/filepath/SDE:server,port:5151,sde,user: Image handling error. Unable to
open file LayerName for layer
`/filepath/SDE:server,port:5151,sde,user/pass,schema.table,RASTER' does not
exist in the file system, and is not recognised as a supported dataset name.
 ... fatal error.
msRasterQueryByRect()

Any ideas how I might start to debug this?  I have DEBUG set to 5 in both
the LAYER and MAP object in the map file.

Thanks!

Liz

Subject: [mapserver-users] WCS time support bugs
Message-ID: <490F84EE.1010106@gmx.net>

Hi everybody

I wanted to test the time support functionality of WCS but this seems 
not to be working. There is an older bug report at
   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1856
but it seems this has not been fixed yet.

I use a PostGIS table to store the tileindex for the time series and as 
mentioned in the bug report there is still a wrong filter applied to the 
tileindex. Did anybody already try if the fix suggested in the ticket 
will work?


In addition, the time support of WCS does not have a time *range* 
similar to WMS-T "ows_timeextent" like
   "ows_timeextent" "2006-01-01/2006-06-01"

WCS requires to list every single date of the available coverages under 
"wcs_timeposition" which is not very feasible for longer time series. 
The bug report at Ticket #2487
    http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2487

lists this problem as fixed, but when I use
    "wcs_timeposition" "2006-01-01/2006-06-01"

and request a coverage with a parameter '&TIME=2006-05-11', with 
MapServer v5.2 I still get the exception
   ...
   WCS server error. The coverage does not have a time position of
   2006-05-11.
   ...
Any idea if the definition has to be set in another way?

Best regards
Armin

I don't have SDE to tell you the truth but I would suggest you to create a VRT version of your dataset and use the VRT on your map file. [ gdal_translate -of vrt /filepath/SDE:server,port:5151,sde,user/pass,schema.table,RASTER replacement.vrt ]

Many / most GIS have a georegistration tool, that allows you to load an image requiring registration, then click on various points within the map and enter the coordinates. The system will then orient (locate and rotate if necessary) and size the image in terms of real world coordinates.
 
You will need to find such a GIS and use it (gvSIGm, ArcMap, MapInfo, TNTMips, Manifold and others), or else work it out from land features you can recognise. Do you know where the upper left corner of your image is located? Can you identify features on the image, such as street intersections? If you can measure the distance between features on your image (in terms of pixels) and the corresponding "on the ground" measurement, you will be able to work out the size of your pixels.
 
Cheers,
 
Robert S

Hello Daniel,

I am using php/mapscript with a fairly old php (4.4.7). MS 4.10.3 works
as expected, but it seems that it has a memory-leak somewhere (but
that's a different topic).

I first thought that the search-stuff is handled somewhat different in
ms 5.x, but when setting the querymap to selected the searched features
are found correctly.

I will try to sort out a little script with mapfile to reproduce it.

Best

Subject: [mapserver-users] AGG and cartoline trap
Message-ID: <49dc012b0811032345o3a89435amb465a3267ab14a3a@mail.gmail.com>

Hi!

I have question about AGG incapability to handle CARTOLINE type of
symbols which in my case leads to problem - I can't figure out how I
can manage to describe symbol
seen here: http://picasaweb.google.com/snaperski/Ort#5264703564091103650

With GD rendering I could use symbol definition as follows:

SYMBOL
  NAME "dotline"
  TYPE cartoline
  LINECAP butt
  LINEJOIN miter
  LINEJOINMAXSIZE 3
  STYLE
  1 20 1 20
  END
END

and in mapfile describe the style like that:

 CLASS
  NAME "Elektriliin"
  EXPRESSION '10'
  STYLE
   SYMBOL "line"
   SIZE 1
   COLOR 0 0 0
  END
  STYLE
   SYMBOL "dotline"
   SIZE 8  #vertical stripes
   COLOR 0 0 0
  END
 END

How I can do that without cartolines?


Sincerely,
Raivo Alla

I was hit by the same bug:

when you specify hilite you MUST have a style section for each of your
classes. The fix is therefore to add a style section to ALL of your
classes.

Failure to comply will cause the new agg code (I think the gd renderer
is immune, but it needs to be checked) to dereference a null pointer.
The problem also exists with cgi mapserver and is not only related to
mapscript.

You mean each of my classes of layers which are being queryable?

Ah, I am using the gd-rendering though.

Ugh, thank your for your hint. I was not aware of that. Did I overlook
this issue in the migration-guide?

then I must correct my statement: also the gd driver is affected. The
bug was introduced when we (mostly I, for those who like finger
pointing ;-) ) rewrote the layers, classes, styles arrays to be arrays
of pointers.

I'll file an issue on bugzilla later today.

Nope, I think we (the developers) were not aware of this problem until
now so it was probably not documented there.

you can get that with a truetype or vector symbol

SYMBOL
 NAME 'rail'
 TYPE TRUETYPE
 FONT arial
 CHARACTER '|'
 GAP -20
END

then

STYLE
 COLOR 0 0 0
 WIDTH 1
END
STYLE
 COLOR 0 0 0
 SIZE 8
 SYMBOL 'rail'
END

cheers,

uff, my mapfile is more than 10000 lines long and has _many_ classes...

But yes, testing with one layer and it worked.

Hi,

There is a symbol type "simple" that does more or less the same as 
cartolines.

SYMBOL
  NAME "dotline"
  TYPE simple
  LINECAP butt
  LINEJOIN miter
  PATTERN
    1 20 1 20
  END
END

should do the trick.

Christy

Ah, never mind, Thomas' answer is better.  But for future reference, 
symbol type simple provides the LINECAP and LINEJOIN options for line 
styling that cartoline used to provide.

Hi,

Did unzip otherwise go as supposed, so that c:\ms4w directory was created and some files got extracted there?  Some wild guesses: You have a managered computer and you do not have enough right for the file system; security settings or antivirus software denies installation of web server; zip file is corrupt.

In case of managered computer try unzipping to some other drive than system drive, they are usually not as strictly controlled.  If you do not have any have a try with USB drive.

Thank you, but that option doesn't appear to work for Raster data types.

I had a similar problem with NetCDF raster. It probably won't help much for SDE
but make sure you have absolute filepath after the "SDE:" and not before it.

Well, there is no filepath, that's what confusing me.  The error message
suggests that it is looking in one, but it's SDE.

I forgot to mention before that I did a test with the gdalinfo utility, and
it seemed to find the correct thing in SDE.

Ron,

Some raster driver in GDAL are not flie based but RDBMS based but most of the softwares based on GDAL did not 
noticed that change. In those case, instead of a file path what you need is a identification string but those software 
usually have code to grab the file path, to check if the file really exist, to check other files on the same folder and 
that is where it crashes.

What I suggest to Liz is to use a VRT file instead of the identification string. As you might know, a VRT file does not 
contain the data but a path to the real data set.

I use that trick to load images direct from the RDBMS server to OpenEv and QuantumGIS:

% gdal_translate -of VRT <the identification string of your dataset> <temporary.vrt>
... check if it works:
% gdalinfo <temporary.vrt>
... check what is inside it:
% more <temporary.vrt>
... load it:
% openev <temporary.vrt>
% qgis
... click on add layer
... select your <temporary.vrt>

I thought that it would work for mapserve too...

/filepath/<temporary.vrt>

But Liz tried and said it doesn't. Too bad, I was counting on it. ;(

I'll give it a try.  I didn't actually try it - I read the docs and it
didn't suggest that it would support rasters.

Stephan
I have created a patch that might solve this problem. It is attached
to the ticket:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2803

could you try it and report if it works?

Thanks,
Umberto

Liz,

To use SDE raster data in MapServer, you must use GDAL compiled with  
SDE raster support.  The "native" SDE raster support that was in  
MapServer was removed and no longer works.

Ensure that your GDAL SDE raster is working with gdalinfo and then  
specify your layer as follows:


LAYER

TYPE RASTER
DATA "SDE:sdemachine.iastate.edu, 
5151,database,username,password,fully.specified.tablename,RASTER"
...

END

Try openlayers. Panning will work like a charm.

Howard,

I did try gdalinfo and it works great.  Just to be sure, I used
gdal_transform to create a tiff file and asked mapserver to try that instead
using shp2img, and that worked beautifully.  So it's just that the GDAL
inside mapserver (??!!)) isn't making the same connection or something.  I
don't know why.  When I do a getfeatureinfo I get that error I mentioned in
the first post, but for maps, I just get a segmentation fault.

Howard,

Is it possible we have a bad combination of libraries or something in our
mapserv compile?  it's like it doesn't understand the datastring coming out
of mapserver.  In the error message from gdal, it's prepending the
filesystem path.  So instead of it starting with SDE:  it starts with
/filepath/SDE:

Do you use the MyGIS feature of Mapserver?

  --with-mygis[=ARG]      Include MyGIS Support (ARG=yes/path to mysql_config)

If you do, please speak up, because I am making a motion to the
developers list that we remove this very old, obscure feature. This is
not about MySQL Spatial support, which exists, and will continue to
exist, via the OGR driver. It's about the old MyGIS feature, which
predates MySQL Spatial, and stores geometry in MySQL blobs.

I come not to praise mapmygis.c, but to bury it.

- It has no maintainer.
- It operates on a model of spatial in MySQL (features in blobs) that
has been super-ceded by the official spatial implementation that has
now been there for 5 years.
- It confuses people into thinking that *it* is the real MySQL spatial
support in Mapserver, when the real support is via OGR.
- It is deeply ugly code, and now that the mappostgis.c code it was
based on is retired, I can freely say that. The longer it is there,
the more likely some unwitting soul will template something on it.
(See mapmssql2008.c)

I move that we re-move.

+1 Paul!

Here are some things you can try:

1) If you are using Vista you will have to 'run as administrator' (see: 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#c-special-notes-for-microsoft-vista).

2) I have seen your error occur before when Apache (httpd.exe) is 
already running and you try to extract it over this running file.  You 
could execute '/ms4w/apache-uninstall.bat' first, remove the old ms4w 
directory, and then try extracting a fresh MS4W.

There will be organized sessions on "Free and Open Source Software",
sponsored by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation(OSGeo) and the AAG
Cyberinfrastructure Specialty Group.

We have several sessions planned on a variety of topics, including
non-technical lightning talks with a group discussion to in depth
technical talks. For specifics of the sessions, current speaker lists
and general information please visit:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AAG_2009#OSGeo_Sessions

We still have some spots for speakers and will create additional session
s based on demand. Please contact if you have submitted or intend to
submit so I can add you to the session listing.

Not interested in a paper, how about being on a Panel, we've got a
couple of spots left on a FOSS discussion panel.

Also, OSGeo will be running an exhibit booth and is soliciting for more
volunteers and sponsorship.

Message-ID: <aa5471510811042112v72f6047if4ccfae7738b4498@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I get a "MapServerError: msProcessProjection(): Projection library
error. Permission denied" error while using Python/MapScript (MS4W
2.3, MapServer 5), after having included a

PROJECTION
   "init=epsg:XXXX"
END

directive in a mapfile layer. I guess that it has something to do with
an Apache permission to execute a binary somewhere..

This is I think the first time I can't find an answer to a MS problem
simply by googling, so I try it here, in hope that someone will be
able to help.

Thank you in advance,

Christian

it seems that the oldest bug matching mygis is from 2005, therefore I
doubt we have hardly any user for this component.

make sure that the user running apache can read the /usr/share/proj/epsg file.
If permissions seem ok then it could be a problem with SELinux or
apparmor, depending on your platform.

Hi,

 

   1)There are different ways to place GPS points on map.

     a)  You can display points using OGR direct connection, Please refer
below url

            http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/ogrmysql/?searchterm=ovf

 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/debian-odbc-mysql/?searchterm=ovf

 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/vector_data/VirtualSpatialData/?

2)And You can not create DWG file by using mapfile.Mapfile will give you
image format.

Please have a look below url.

I hope this helps you.

Hi,

    What my suggestion is do not go for dwg.If you  have dwg convert into
Shapefile.and please refer below url.It is showing that how to create map
using Shapefile.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/vector_data/shapefiles/?searchte
rm=shapefile

I hope it will help you.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

Hi everybody,
I need to develop a system for tracking and displaying vehicles
positions. I'm storing NMEA gps sentences into a MySql DB. Now I'd
like to display these positions on a map. How can I do? I'm new to
this, can you give me any suggestion?
I have to create the map too, because this zone is not mapped. Is it
possible to create a map from a DWG cad file?

I hope you can help me
Cheers
Carmelo

dxf2shp (http://www.spatialorder.com/downloads.htm).
You have first to convert the dwg in dxf:
http://www.autodwg.com/DWG_DXF_Converter/ is a 15-days trial,
http://www.a9tech.com/products/a9converter/ is free...

there is also cad2shape: http://www.guthcad.com/cad2shape.htm, another
trial version.

there is a lot of tools: http://www.google.com/search?q=convert+dwg+to+dxf

Hi,
   You need not to install apache.Once unzip the folder in Apache folder
contain  C:\MS4W\apache-install.bat, 
apache-restart.bat. You just run the that bat files. That's it will start.

Thanks
Venkat.

Thank you Pietro.
Before converting from DWG to DXF, I have to say that my DWG planimetry is
not georeferenced. How can I georeference it?
After georeferencing it, how can I "import" the file on the map server? It
will be the map, isn't it?


Thank you again
Cheers

Hi,

In fact I'm using the MS4W distribution of MapServer, so it runs on
Windows. The EPSG lookup file is there and everything seems fine, but
still this nagging bug persists.. I should add that I tried loading
the exact same mapfile from PHP/Mapscript, and it runs fine. The
problem is specific to Python/Mapscript. Any other idea?

Have you tried to explicitly set the path to the proj library in the map
file?  

Try adding this to the map object:

CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "C:/somedir/proj/nad/"

You can find a little more about this in the map file reference.

Hi,

I don't know if this is the right place to signal a problem with the
MS site, but since I can't even send an email through the site.. Since
yesterday, I try to register as a new user  at:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/join_form

but the system won't accept any email address I supply, even though
they are valid. The answer is always: "We were unable to send your

Hello Armin:

I experienced the same problems some time ago. Here are the relevant
posts to the ML that I wrote:

http://www.nabble.com/wcs_timeposition%3A-explicit-listing-or-start-end-range--td19001008.html

And the problem with using PostGIS connector:
http://www.nabble.com/GetCoverage-request-and-time-idexed-coverage-using-postgis-td18743297.html

I've been told to file a bug, (which I have yet to do), I hope to get
some time soon to look into the code myself and see what's going on...

Hi Carmelo,
it's no mode to know the projection of a dwg from itself: you have to ask
those who produced.
Once you have defined the projection and converted the dwg into .shp, you
must to create a mapfile with a layer which data is the shapefile. Another
layer will be the point layer of the vehicles.

If you are newbie of mapserver, take a look to the New Users section of
the site (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/new_users), it's very useful.

ciao

That's exactly it, it works, thank you David!

I'll take the occasion to ask about something that troubles me about
Python/Mapscript: what's the exact state of it, is it being actively
developed and used, and what's its exact relation with the other MS
components?

For a long time I wrote all my MS code in PHP, and I had no problem
finding reference and documentation, as it seems to be actively
maintained, and people are discussing techniques and issues
everywhere. But then I switched to Python/MS a couple of weeks ago,
and I have a hard time just finding a basic API guide for it, and I'm
always wondering if it's somewhat lagging behind its PHP brother, for
some reason.

Thank you for your kind help,

Christian

I had a look at the code and tried the suggested fix. I uploaded a patch 
at the wiki, see this link
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/attachment/ticket/2487/mapwcs.c.patch

With these modifications the PostGIS problem disappeared and it was also 
possible to specify 'wcs_timeposition' as a range of dates instead of 
single dates for the full timeseries.

Christian, 

My experience is that the Python MapScript 'community' is extremely
small.  I really don't think that there are many people using it.  If I
am wrong, please speak up users.  When I have posted questions to the
list, if I got any response, it was from developers like Sean or Howard.

My feeling is that if you want support, examples, etc. you should go
with php or maybe C# .NET MapScript.  I find this unfortunate because I
really like Python as a language and I write a lot of GIS related Python
code (ESRI and GDAL/OGR) as part of my job.  

David.

i use python mapscript.
there are few examples, but a php mapscript example translates pretty
directly to any other. and since it's python, there's no substitute
for going into ipython, import'ing mapscript and using the
autocompletion to see what's available.

and i know it's not exactly what you meant, but i hardly feel slighted
if howard or sean answer any questions i have!

Message-ID: <460149.82885.qm@web33204.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi Carmelo,

I am doing prettyt much this for vessel positions using PostGIS databases instead of MySQL. I believe PostGIS offers more mature & substantially better support for spatial objects at present, but you can probably achieve similar results with MySQL.

>From a data management and display perspective, I suggest you consider three approaches depending on your needs:

1. Just display the GPS points of the required vehicles in the map.
2. Run a query to turn the required points into a linestring on the fly & display the line. 
3. Pre build vehicle tracklines according to business rules and display selected lines in the map.

All are relatively simple to do with PostGIS & Mapserver, and can be managed with MySQL, although I don't think as easily. (We use mostly option 3, and also option 2, opion 1 is a bit limited & can be somewhat slower to display)

You also haven't said whether you want web maps or hard copy maps. I'm assuming you are looking at web maps for now, & can print the result if required.

The other issue is that the map needs some background to give your data context. If necessary you can assemble local datasets of roads, aerial/satellite imagery, etc to overlay your data on. However I suggest you consider OpenLayers to provide the maps in your web application. This gives you easy access to Google & OpenStreetMaps & a range of public WMS/WFS data as a background without having to manage these data yourself.

Using Postgis to manage your spatial data, mapserver to provide it as a web service & OpenLayers as the client in your application, actually putting the various layers together to build your map is a very effective toolset for the sort of thing I think you are trying to achieve.

If you do need local vector data in addition to your GPS data, then I don't think CAD is the way to go, as suggested by other respondents, extracting these into GIS formats is going to work better for you in this arena.

HTH,

   Brent Wood

Message-ID: <9c2015090811051132g49f79f4dkd791cb14a9536de3@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

I'm considering the use of MapServer in an application that generates small
maps that are included in printed documents.  Currently these maps are
generated by GMT as .eps files, a format which makes then very easy to
insert into the report.  I would like to know how people feel about the
current state of PDF support provided by MapServer, and whether anyone is
using it in a similar fashion.

I found a document on the MapServer site titled, "PDF Output", which was
last updated in 2006, and which contains several caveats regarding
unsupported features, ie "symbol-filled polygons, legends and scalebars".
Are any of these now supported in PDF output?

Thanks in advance for all comments and observations,

Roger

I'm attempting to run the tutorial found at http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/tutorial/ and have received an error -

msEvalRegex(): Regular Expression error.  String (/home/mapdata/example01.map?layer=airports?mode=map) failed expression test.

I read a previous post where it was suggested to use shp2img which comes with ms4w.  Is there a comparable product for linux platforms?

Thanks,

shp2img is available on all platforms. The problem with the URL below is that ?'s should be &'s instead.

Hi Brent,

- these pre-build vehicle tracklines are every possible street on which any
vehicle can move on? (1) could be the solution. How come (2) and (3) are
faster?

consider OpenLayers to provide the maps in your web application. This gives
you easy access to Google & OpenStreetMaps & a range of public WMS/WFS data
as a background without having to manage these data yourself.

- It could be a good idea, but I don't think that exists any map of the zone
I need, because it's a private area, not a public street. So, a public map
could have not every possible street in the zone. On GoogleMaps I saw that
the map of this zone is about 3 years old.

- So, do you suggest to extract the DWG planimetry into Postgis tables? If
yes, before extracting the DWG, do I need to make it georeferenced?


Thank you again for your help

Typically this indicates a size mis-match between the browse form and the SIZE set in the mapfile. If not in sync the map click will be computed in the wrong place.

Hello All,

I'm new to MapServer and MapScript, so I need as much info as i can get.

I did not find a way to search the mailinglists. Is this because i missed is or isn't there any?
As an alternative i tried the 'downloadable version" of the mailinglist, but when untarred the file, the *.txt was unreadable. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ad,

I can confirm something is wrong with the text.gz archives.

I'd suggest using plain old Google with a site keyword, something like:

site:lists.osgeo.org/pipermail wfs problem

Hope this helps.

Subject: [mapserver-users] getting field names using mapscript
Message-ID: <72c962640811060310n4bbcadd1k5b02fac3be7b526f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi list,
I would like to list from any layer ($ qlayer) only the field names of
the attribute tables and the number of objects in the table.

With this code it works already:

//loading mapfile
$map= ms_newMapObj($mapfilepath.'\
demo.map');

//set layer
$layer = $map->getLayerByName($qlayer);

//rectquery via mapextent
@$datQuery = $layer->queryByRect($map->extent);

//if query is successful
if ($datQuery == MS_SUCCESS) {
 //number of objects
 $resnum = $layer->getNumResults();
 echo 'Anzahl: '.$resnum.'<br>';

 $layer->open();
 $result = $layer->getResult(0);
 $shpobj = $layer->getShape($result->tileindex,$result->shapeindex);

 //read attribute table
 $attr = $shpobj->values;
 foreach($attr as $name=>$wert) {
     echo 'Feld: '.$name.'<br>';
 }
}
$shpobj->free();
$layer->close();

However, this method has the disadvantage using a layers with many
records the script takes a very long time, I guess because I have a
query about the whole issue run.
Has someone an approach for me, getting
1. the field names of the table and
2. the number of objects in the table
performantly using MapScript ?
thanks
Jo

You can use the items array on the layer object to get the field names

Hi,
  You want to store 3 type (point line polygon) in single table? if  it
is... It is not possible.. you can not store different data types(point line
polygon). As per my knowledge.

Or 
 You want create 3 types in a single layer ? it is possible. This common
approach..

Under map u can have any number of layers.

I hope u r clear with your doubt. let me know.

Thanks
Venkat

Have you tried /ms4w/apache-install.bat before trying uninstallation?

Hi,

This is the apache-uninstall.bat file:

@ECHO OFF

REM This installs and starts the apache service 

cd Apache\bin
httpd -k install -n "Apache MS4W Web Server"
net start "Apache MS4W Web Server"
cd ..\..

:ALL_DONE


You can follow it manually for investigating what happens.  Open the Windows command window, change directory to where the apache-uninstall.bat file is (propably c:\ms4w). Then just execute the command one by one starting from "cd Apache\bin" and see what happens.

The error message you see looks like the Apache executable file "httpd.exe" does not exist in the c:\ms4w\apache\bin directory.

thanks, works fine and fast for each layer:

$layer->open();
$myitems = $layer->getItems();

foreach($myitems as $item) {
	echo $item."<br>";
}
$layer->close();

but how can I get the numer of records without a query?

Hi all,

I've been playing using ajax calls to the ms executable.
I'm using map mode and piping to a file, and returning this file ref to
update the image div, and it works fast and fine.

I would also like to update the legend, layer images, and it seems that
these are only produced in browse mode.

Outside of parsing the map file produced to extract the above image names
when one pipes the cgi, is there another, possibly simpler way? way?

regards,

nicolas boretos

You can actually call the legend and individual layer images.

For the legends, mode=legend will help you out.  For the layer images, you could iterate through the layer name list to generate each individual image.

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] Features not displayed if LABELITEM is null
Message-ID: <20362894.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hi list,

Is it normal that Mapserver won't draw features if it can't find a string in
the [labelitem] attribute?

I am trying to display a road network and, logically, some of the segments
in it don't have any name attached to them. In this case, there is a NULL
value in the 'name' column of my PostGIS table. Using this column as the
LABELITEM in my layer, Mapserver just seems to skip those records and won't
display them, even if they have a valid geometry.

A workaround is to update all my tables and replace this NULL with an empty
string. I'll probably end up doing just that, but I ain't happy about it, as
my tables contain +30 millions of entries and updating the whole dataset
will take forever.

I was just wondering if someone else had noticed this behaviour before and
if there's another solution.

Tanks,

Philippe

Yes, all mapfiles tend to have multiple layers, I have some with 100s of 
layers. Think about the problem like this:

mapfile  == map
layer    == one type of data (point, line, polygon, label, etc)
             from one particular data source.
class    == one particular subset of data in a layer that you want to
             isolate and render in a particular manner

So in you question above:

You would have three or more layers. At least one for each point, line, 
polygon data type. In postgres these would each be a different table or 
tables.

Even while roads and railroads are both lines, you might want them 
separated into two separate tables in postgres. and you would have two 
separate layers to render them.

Message-ID: <aa5471510811060819t5ec5d06tba2476c5650f022@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Everyone,

I have two layers that I want to intersect: one with points, and one
with multiple polygons representing the regions of a territory.

The first approach I just tried is doing it programmatically, through Python/MS:

I first union all the region polygons, and then get the convex hull of
this super-shape. I then restrict the points to those inside this
convex hull.

The problem is that it is really too slow.. I'm aware that I could do
it through PostGIS, and that performance would surely much better, but
I'd rather stay with a more generic solution, that is applicable to
shapefile data sources as well.

Would someone be aware of a better method, maybe one involving only
mapfile directives?

Thank you,

Christian

If you're using a shapefile however you can do something like:

  // in perl
  $shapefile = new mapscript::shapefileObj('myshapefile', -1);
  print $shapefile->{numshapes};

There is a getNumFeatures() method for layer objects although I don't know if it is widely implemented.

Hi Steve,

We work with a *lot* of mapfiles on this project and after going through
them thoroughly, I found out that the older one still had a filter on null
values set. Therefore, replacing the null values with a string seemed to do
it.... I should have thought of this earlier, sorry.

Thanks that you took some of your time replying, I'll try to be more careful
and check every option next time before posting to the list...

Have a nice day,

Philippe

There is a FAQ on performance IIRC.

You need to explain more about your configuration.

Show your mapfile.
Are you working with shapefiles, postgres, raster, vector, etc ...
How big are your files?
Have you turned on

DEBUG 5
CONFIG MS_ERRORFILE "stderr"

and looked at your apache error_log for each request? This should tell 
you how much time each layer takes to draw so you can see WHAT is slow?

Give us some more info and we might be able to help you.

Hi Jochen,

Assuming you are using Shapefiles maybe you can achieve your second goal
with the base module of PHP

I Have the following question, in this moment i have been working with three layers but when i use the zoom or other tools , this operation is very slow, my computer have a high performance 
What can i do for Obtaining high performance in the map server response 

I have been working with mapserver and postgis

You could try a feature query in MapServer/MapScript. First step is to do a query that
selects the polygons (probably by attribute) and then do a queryByFeatures() query
on the point layer. The result would be a set of points that are contained in your 
polygon features. Be sure to set the TOLERANCE in the point layer to 0 if you want
the points to be in the selection polygons.

The advantage here is that you don't have to do any up front geometry computations
on your polygons. It boils down to a bunch of point-in-polygon computations which are
relatively fast.

Do you have spatial index on all you geometry columns

create index <table>_gidx on <table> using gist(the_geom);

do this for each table and replace <table> wit the table name.
then do:

vacuum analyze;

If you are zoomed all the way out and displaying all the data, then this 
is the worse case and it may be slow. Does it speed up as you zoom in? 
Is the speed acceptable as you zoom in?

Do not display so much data as you zoom out and it will be faster. There 
you can generalize the data for when you zoom out. and then use 
MINSCALEDENOM and MAXSCALEDENOM to turn off the detail data layer and 
turn on the generalized data layer.

You can also download the setup.exe (instead of using the .zip file) and 
give that a try (the exe allows you to install in any directory).

Here are my quick thoughts:

- make sure your EXTENT and UNITS parameters are for the specified 
output MAP projection (if your output projection is in meters then your 
extents and units must be in meters)
- you need more parameters in your projection block than what you are 
currently trying to use...to solve this the easiest way is to always use 
the corresponding EPSG lookup code (found in /ms4w/proj/nad/epsg)
- the next time you attach a mapfile it is easier for the community if 
you create a tiny mapfile showing your problem (i.e. only 2 layers or 
less)...that way it is easier to comment and understand your mapfile
- how about avoiding projection problems and making sure that all of 
your layers are in the same projection?  If you can, that way is FASTEST 
for display and AVOIDS the projection problems you are facing. 
(pre-processing the data, in this case using tools to reproject the data 
to the same projection, is always the best option, rather than forcing 
MapServer to reproject on-the-fly)

those are my quick thoughts on your issues.

Message-ID: <31e2f7000811062150g3a5ef1cay2335de19717aef59@mail.gmail.com>

 Good Morning...

I try to find a substitution string to get the current mode of the map
and i can't find it.
There is some way to know what is the mode?

Thanks

Where exactly shoud we define the projection
at the top of mapfile or with each layer

I am trying to use
'init=epsg:54004'

but its not changing the data projection

if I use "proj=merc"
only the projection of raster image changes and not the other data layers.

Any suggestions please

Kusum

Another aproach is to do it by SLD.

WMS and WFS supports delivering a sld to it with a intersects filter. Both work generic on whatever datasource.

Onderwerp: Re: [mapserver-users] Getteing the intersection of two layers

You could try a feature query in MapServer/MapScript. First step is to do a query that selects the polygons (probably by attribute) and then do a queryByFeatures() query on the point layer. The result would be a set of points that are contained in your polygon features. Be sure to set the TOLERANCE in the point layer to 0 if you want the points to be in the selection polygons.

The advantage here is that you don't have to do any up front geometry computations on your polygons. It boils down to a bunch of point-in-polygon computations which are relatively fast.

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] Pass parameters to mapfile
Message-ID: <20377760.post@talk.nabble.com>


I am using the following data in my mapfile

 DATA "the_geom from ( select * from customised_point AS f where
user_id='userid' AND f.subcat_id IN (select subcat_id from subcat_info where
maincat_id =0))AS foo USING UNIQUE gid"


I want the userid ( used in the above query) to be passed to map file at the
time of layer creation something like this....

wms[5] = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.Untiled(
                  
"Customization","http://gis.rtbi-iitm.in/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/customisation/mapfile/customNR.map"
+ userid  ,{'layers': "NR_point",'transparent':"true"},{'layers':
"NR_polygon",'transparent':"true"},{'isBaseLayer':false} );

How to do that?

Thanks in advance :)

Cheers,
Reena.

Well that made things easier...
As with legend, I see you can call scalebar and reference additionally,

Message-ID: <4913FC6C0200008F0001D509@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Assuming you set it on the call to MapServer it should be simply [mode] on the
way out. The only possible values you can get at via a template are browse
or one of the various query modes. Browse is the default so for those templates
you know mode=browse. For queries you have to explicitly set mode so [mode]
should work.

 Good Morning...

I try to find a substitution string to get the current mode of the map
and i can't find it.
There is some way to know what is the mode?

Thanks

Thanks.

It is Working. I do'n no why, but i try it [mode] before but the
browser don't replace then.

Thanks again.

If you are getting "ms4w\apache\bin\httpd.exe access denied" errors and 
you have already removed the apache service, then you can now delete the 
entire /ms4w directory...and then extract again.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Introducing Google.org Geo Challenge Grants
Message-ID: <c549ccd00811071825g134032d2yd3e263c856d30a5@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Mapserver Users,

If you work at a non-profit organization, keep reading for information about
Google.org's Geo Challenge Grants!  You can also get more information at
their blog posting<http://blog.google.org/2008/10/introducing-googleorg-geo-challenge.html>
.

Also, if you know others that work at non-profit organizations, consider
passing this along to them!

Thanks so much,
Karin

*********************************************************

Google.org just launched an exciting new grants program.  Google.org Geo
Challenge Grants <http://www.google.org/geochallenge.html> will award grants
to NGOs around the world to create projects using online mapping tools, such
as Google Maps and Google Earth.  The program is an open application process
that will award grants up to $100,000.

Maps are a powerful way for organizations to display and share data, promote
ideas and issues, and plan and organize activities.  Online
mapping tools can help the world visualize and understand information,
problems, and solutions - whether
locally or globally.  We've found that well designed maps can help
organizations operate more effectively.  They can convey the importance of
your cause in a visual, compelling way.  And, they can give individuals from
around the world a chance to experience the work you do.  We want to help
organizations use these kinds of tools to advance their work in the areas of
global development, climate change and global public health.

Here's an example project.  The Dreaming New
Mexico<http://www.dreamingnewmexico.org/>
 initiative seeks to encourage adoption of clean electricity and to move New
Mexico away from dirty, polluting power plants.  Using the Google
Earth API<http://code.google.com/apis/earth/>
 (browser plugin),
Dreaming New Mexico shows some of the choices available to New Mexico
as it considers a move to sustainable clean energy.
 Click here to view <http://www.dreamingnewmexico.org/visualize> the site.

Applications, which are open to NGOs around the world are open now and will
close on December 22.  (We hope to continue with further application rounds
next year.)

There are 3 levels of funding.  A US$5,000 grant is enough to complete a
small mapping project or a prototype of a more ambitious map project.
Examples include maps such as the Women for Women project
locations<http://services.google.com/earth/kmz/women_for_women_n.kmz>.
 A US$25,000 grant is enough to complete a substantial mapping project using
one or more data sources. The map will typically still use a fixed data set
vs a dynamically updating data source. Examples include maps such as the
Appalachian Voices Mountaintop Removal Layer with associated "Are You
Connected?" interactive website noted in this case
study<http://earth.google.com/outreach/cs_app_voices.html>.
 A US$100,000 grant is enough to complete a more dynamic mapping project, or
a system that will enable the production of maps across a number of
scenarios. Such a project might include tools that the grantee as well as
other organizations could use to quickly create maps of a certain type.

To learn more about the program, check out our
website<http://www.google.org/geochallenge.html> which
has a description of the program, FAQs and the application.  Also, for other
ways that Google can help your organization, check out our Google for
Non-profits site. <http://www.google.com/nonprofits/>

Hi...

I know how to change the tolerance of a layer using a form:

<input... name="map.layer[layer_name]" value="TOLERANCE units"...>

but, if i do at the same time:

<input... name="map.layer[layer_name]" value="TOLERANCEUNITS meters"...>

it will not work. 2 inputs have the same name.

There is some way to change both things?

Thanks.

Hi

I find a soluction for may problem, because we can shearch the layer
for the name or for the number of the layer in .map.

So, the soluction is this:

<input... name="map.layer[layer_name]" value="TOLERANCE units"...>
<input... name="map.layer[lnumber_of_layer]" value="TOLERANCEUNITS meters"...>


But is i need to change 3 parameters in the layer?

Hi...

I have a problem:

I put the tolerance units of a layer i the .map file using the layer keyword:

TOLERANCEUNITS pixels

and work fine. But if i try to do the same in the html i recive the
following error message:

getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near (pixels):(line 1)

And this error only happen whith the tag "pixels". I use feet, meters,
kilometers and dd and all of them works fine. Why pixels don work?


Thanks and sorry for my English.

What do you mean "in the html"? Do you mean your trying to set via URL? If so it's likely
an oversight on my part and that keyword isn't being recognized when parsing URLs. I'll
make sure that gets fixed in the source.

In the meantime you can edit maplexer.l and change:

<INITIAL>pixels 
  to
<INITIAL,URL_STRING>pixels

and then recompile...

Subject: [mapserver-users] mapserver on Centos?
Message-ID: <200811081345.34034.geek@uniserve.com>

Hi,

I have a little server using a 32 bit Intel cpu configured with Centos 5.2 and 
Virtualmin GPL. It has been doing a good job for me as a web and mail server 
with a light load and I am interested in trying Mapserver on it. 

On my Fedora box mapserver is in the repo (F7). Does anyone have experience, 
references or tips about implementing mapserver on the Centos box?

Thanks very much,

Dave

Yes, for my CentOS machine I use the FGS installer for MapServer 
(http://www.maptools.org/fgs/)

Hi Dave,

I've had good luck using the version of Mapserver that comes with FWTools on
a CentOS 5.1 machine.  http://fwtools.maptools.org/

Message-ID: <3d7e96b90811091628tb8f52d5j85f4fb99a74969a9@mail.gmail.com>

Does anyone know what the minimal files for using mapscript is? If I
compiled the PHP/Mapscript library, would I need any other mapserv files for
it to work? I would like to do experiments with Ruby and mapscript. I was
thinking of experimenting with the Ruby/GNOME2 libraries and Mapscript. I
won't nessisarily be making anything functional in the tests. I thought it
would be a good way to get involved in the mapserver scene again. I haven't
toyed with Mapserver since version 4.2.

My goal will be to build a stand alone Gnome mapping application that
doesn't require a web-server using the U of M Mapserver as the mapping
engine.

Feedback welcome,
~Brant Ryan Anderson

Hi Dave,

If you have no packages, here is a howto to compile it. It is for Centos
4.5 but should work fine with centos 5.x :

Subject: [mapserver-users] Adding symbols on top of polyline elements
Message-ID: <49180420.5070205@romtelecom.ro>

Hello everybody,

I have a map that displays roads stored in a polyline format. I would 
like to mark one-way streets with an arrow symbol drawn on top of the 
road itself. The symbol can be as small as possible (for beginning I 
would like to be able to superimpose it anywhere between the street 
ends, and later on I will lock it to be next to one of the ends).

I can already select the one way streets based on the following template:

Hi All,

 

I have couple of question, could you please take a look at it : 

 

1)      Do you know any Map Server Client that allows viewing the image service (created on the Minnesota Map Server) if I give the URL listed below: 

http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/path/to/itasca.map&mode=map"

 

2)      I am using Windows XP on my PC. When I give the URL in this format - http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/mapdemo/itasca_demo.map&mode=map", it doesn't work. But if I give it in format - http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\Asif\work\devtools\MMS\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\mapdemo\itasca_demo.map&mode=map, it works. The problem in giving the URL is this format is I have to put the complete path starting with "C: drive" and if I have to run it on the server, I cannot give it like that. 

 

Could you please help me with both the above issues? Thanks! 

 

Sincerely,

Asif Memon

Hi Asif,

I downloaded the demo.tif file that you sent earlier, and the itasca_demo.map from you rprevious email.  I changed the path in the DATA portion of the LAYER section to point to my filesystem, 
    DATA "/var/www/mapfiles/itasca/demo.tif"

and also changed the EXTENT to this:
  EXTENT  -0.9194182 -4.2013292 -0.9002422 -4.1870152

This matches the extent of the file when you run gdalinfo against it (min_x min_y max_x Max_y).

With these changes, I'm able to view the file with the following URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/itasca/itasca_demo.map&mode=map

(Note, I'm running this in Linux, so paths and URLs are going to be slightly different than yours)

Try changing your EXTENT entry to match mine, that might do the trick.

Thanks Roger. 

 

I don't see any errors now, but no image appears in the browser(the browser is blank). I made minor changes to the map file that you sent me (about the paths, attached is the file).  

 

The URL that I am using in the browser is http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\Asif\work\devtools\MMS\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\mapdemo\itasca_demo.map&mode=map <http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:%5CAsif%5Cwork%5Cdevtools%5CMMS%5Cms4w%5CApache%5Chtdocs%5Cmapdemo%5Citasca_demo.map&mode=map> 

 

Please correct me if anything is wrong in the URL or in the map file.

Hi Asif,

Ok, here's a new mapfile that you can try.  Change your request to point to this one, and see if you get an image back in your browser.

No, TileCache didn't come with that. I am trying to view any image right now to see an example of serving an image into Mapserver. 

 

I changed the path of the WMS URL(http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\Asif\work\devtools\MMS\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\mapdemo\demo.map&mode=map <http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:%5CAsif%5Cwork%5Cdevtools%5CMMS%5Cms4w%5CApache%5Chtdocs%5Cmapdemo%5Cdemo.map&mode=map> ) and the error I am getting now is - msLoadMap(): Premature End-of-File.

 

I ran the GDAL tile cache command on a .tif image to create the shape files using (gdaltindex doq_index.shp doq/*.tif). Also, I made some changes in the map file. Attached is the most updated map file along with the shape files. 

 

Could you please take a look at it.

Sorry I assumed that the index.html file was the one that came with TileCache.  Is that not correct?

Hi Asif,

Are you able to view a map when you go to "http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/path/to/itasca.map&mode=map" ?  Also, can you send a copy of your mapfile, and of your tilecache.cfg files?

Hi Asif,

Best thing to do is take a look at these 2 docs first:
- http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data
- http://tilecache.org/readme.html

Once you have the ability to see your raster in MapServer via a "mode=map" request, then you will have to decide how you wish to view your data afterwards.  There are different things to do in TileCache depending on whether you wish to view the data in OpenLayers, or over Google Maps/MS VE.

You'll want to ask the TileCache list about that, likely. Once you have MapServer actually serving up the imagery, get your client using MapServer or WMS (I like OpenLayers, myself). Then install TileCache and change the OL app to use TC's URL instead of MapServer's. Easy.

But you may want to install OpenLayers and get it working with MapServer first, then hit up the OL and TC mailing lists.

Hi,

for repeated arrow symbols, you can use a truetype (or image, or
vector) symbol, with a negative GAP:

SYMBOL
 NAME oneway
 TYPE TRUETYPE
 CHARACTER '>'
 FONT arial
 GAP -20
END

and then in your layer:

STYLE
 SYMBOL oneway
 SIZE 8
 COLOR 0 0 0
END

cheers,
thomas

Hello Thomas,

Thank you very much for your tip! It's great.
However, I have a question: How can I select the direction of the arrow? 
I mean, between A and B I have a road segment:

A----------------B

Right now, it renders as A---->---->----->-----B, but I want it to 
render as A----<------<-----<------B.

My question is: how does mapserver select the order of A and B? If I 
understand this, I can create another symbol and use it for the reverse 
path.

Thanks,
Adrian

it's the direction of the underlying geometry that's used.
so you either need
* data that's oriented, and a single boolean filed indicating if its
oneway or not,
* or an unoriented geometry, and a field indicating if the oneway
direction is reversed or not wrt the geometry (and two directional
symbols, one with > , the other with <)

Can you please clarify to me what you mean by data that is oriented? 
When I built the road layer from GPS data, I added polylines starting 
from point A->...->B and recorded all the inflections in the road 
between A and B.
By ordered data you mean the direction in this case is A->B?
If I wanted to reverse the direction I'd have to write the data to the 
shapefile in the order B->A?

Thanks

or add a field in your shapefile for that feature, eg reverse=true.
you'd then have mapserver draw the < symbol for features where
reverse=true.

Thank you for your help, Thomas.

Unfortunately, the data is ordered, but it wasn't input in a meaningful 
way for what I need, so I can't rewrite it, nor add a flag to it... I 
will do some comparisons at the server side, before dynamically creating 
the map file and I hope I can pull it off...

Thanks again.

The patch is very useful indeed :) GetCoverage requests now work for
Postgis-backed time indexed layers with this patch. Also, now I don't
need to specify explicit time positions for the wcs service--just
start and end.

Hopefully it'll make it into the source tree.
Thanks again,
Alex

What are the drawbacks of preserving the original color palette in
"raw data" mode?

Hi,
I'm using WMS_LAYER_GROUP in METADATA instead of GROUP keyword
I have three layers in my mapFile

The first layer  has 
"WMS_LAYER_GROUP"       "/Risques/"

Second has
"WMS_LAYER_GROUP"       "/Infrastructures/Sant?"

Third has
"WMS_LAYER_GROUP"       "/Infrastructures/Scolaires"

When I connect to my WMS with Gaia or gvSig I got the following hoerarchy


Where PACC Sant? is the wms_title of the MAP.
* Keyword Group is not in the layer defition

Someone has more details on WMS_LAYER_GROUP?
thanks,
Steve

Hi Asif,

My apologies.  I saw your message Friday evening but forgot about it over
the weekend in the course of reinstalling my Linux OS.  If time is of the
essence, posting your question to the entire list should ensure a speedier
response.

Regarding your questions:

1) I am not aware of any applications that will act as viewers for Mapserver
operating in "map" mode.  They may exist, but I'm not familiar with them.  I
tend to use Mapserver in only one of two ways at the moment; in "map" mode
to generate static maps, in "wms" mode with a connection to it via
OpenLayers (or TileCache).

2) Regarding the path to your mapfile, I believe there are several solutions
that you can try if your goal is to shorten the URL string.  They are
well-explained here -
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/#more-about-the-online-resource-url.
As far as why the 1st URL doesn't actually work, it's because the path
should be relative to the mapserv.exe location in cgi-bin, not to htdocs.
So try this instead:

-
http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=../htdocs/mapdemo/itasca_demo.map&mode=map<http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/mapdemo/itasca_demo.map&mode=map>

Tucker,

What information do you have now defining the regions for the cutouts?  Are
you expecting to need to manually define polygons for these by digitizing?

If so, I'd suggest you use the gdal_rasterize utility to mask out the area
inside or outside of the polygons as appropriate to some sort of nodata value
(or to explicitly set an alpha transparency band to transparent).

Essentially, I'm suggesting the cutouts should be a preprocessing step before
pushing the raster data into MapServer.

Best regards,

Alex

during the tests I noticed 2 shortcomings of the patch for the 
'wcs_timeposition', both are a bit correlated with each other:

If a request contains a timestamp not available in the Postgis table 
then an empty image will be sent back to the requesting client. A better 
solution would be to check the available dates in the PG table and 
return a service exception in case the requested date is not there.

Another problem is that clients will have no possibility to know which 
dates are really available when supplied with a range. The only WCS 
client I found so far that supports WCS-T is gvSIG. But this client just 
offers the time range definition for selection, so it will not work. A 
solution could be that the DescribeCoverage response reads all available 
timestamps from the tileindex layer and returns a single entry for all 
of them in the returned XML.

Both modifications would require to dive somewhat deeper into the code 
and understand where and how the link between WCS layer and tileindex 
layer is made and how the info from the PG tileindex layer is retrieved 
from PG. I unfortunately doubt that this will be of high priority to the 
main developers.

Greetings, Armin

First, wow - I'm getting answers from the source!  I'm sorry to bother you
with such trivial questions.

Yes, I expect to write a quick digitizing program to define the boundaries
and cutouts.  There's some other meta data I need to collect too.  The
borders aren't in the header like the BSB/KAP files.

I'll definitely check out the gdal_rasterize utility - that's the exact kind
of advice I was looking for.  I'm a developer and don't mind writing custom
code if needed with gdal, etc.

How about the quilting aspects of it all?  Will I get the type of tile
results that GeoGarage got?  I'm not really sure how they did what they did
- perhaps they used MapServer too...

Tucker,

The questions are not at all trivial, though possibly hard to give
solid answers for.

The utility is available as part of GDAL and is documented at:

   http://www.gdal.org/gdal_rasterize.html

Note the -i flag to invert the sense of what is inside or outside.

MapServer should be able to quilt images fairly well if you can burn away
all the stuff you don't want to show, and then order them as you want them
layered.  If the images are not all in the same coordinate system you may
need to use multiple LAYER's for them otherwise you can just dump them into
a tileindex (ie. shapefile) with some care to ordering.

When burning away uninteresting parts of the images make sure you burn them
out to a particular value that can be used as the OFFSITE value in your
LAYER definition - assuming you don't go the alpha transparency route which
is somewhat involved.

What you want to do should be achievable but may be somewhat challenging.
I'm not sure that it is critical to do it through mapserver.  You could
likely achieve something similar by creating a suitable mosaic image, and
gdalwarp'ing the individual maps into that in a suitable order (after
appropriate masking).

Hi Tucker,

My experience using the techniques that Frank's described below ("burn" away
areas of non-interest using gdal_rasterize, then layer separate raster
layers in Mapserver) has been very good.  The one additional piece that I
have used is TileCache, so that I can generate PNG tiles for display in
Google Maps.  Of especially great value to me has been Mapserver's ability
to display data sets together which often differ in their projections.

One thing I would advise you to do first is to display 2 different data sets
that overlap, in 2 different projections, in a simple mapfile.  Then check
that the reprojection is working properly and that features line up.

Sounds like a neat project,

Roger

Thanks for this tip, but i have another question:

How i change maplexer.l? Can you tell me where i can find some tutorial?

Thanks

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

What do you mean "in the html"? Do you mean your trying to set via

an oversight on my part and that keyword isn't being recognized when
parsing URLs. I'll
make sure that gets fixed in the source.

In the meantime you can edit maplexer.l and change:

<INITIAL>pixels
 to
<INITIAL,URL_STRING>pixels

and then recompile...

I have a problem:

I put the tolerance units of a layer i the .map file using the layer keyword:

and work fine. But if i try to do the same in the html i recive the

And this error only happen whith the tag "pixels". I use feet, meters,

Thanks Roger,

 

I have tiled a large mosaic(2 GB) by using the GDAL utility(gdal_convert "TILED=YES"). I want to test the performance for querying the mosaic with the zoom functionality. Do I need to write a client or is there anything readily available with which I can check the performance?

Hi Asif,

My apologies.  I saw your message Friday evening but forgot about it over the weekend in the course of reinstalling my Linux OS.  If time is of the essence, posting your question to the entire list should ensure a speedier response. 

Regarding your questions:

1) I am not aware of any applications that will act as viewers for Mapserver operating in "map" mode.  They may exist, but I'm not familiar with them.  I tend to use Mapserver in only one of two ways at the moment; in "map" mode to generate static maps, in "wms" mode with a connection to it via OpenLayers (or TileCache).

2) Regarding the path to your mapfile, I believe there are several solutions that you can try if your goal is to shorten the URL string.  They are well-explained here - http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/#more-about-the-online-resource-url.  As far as why the 1st URL doesn't actually work, it's because the path should be relative to the mapserv.exe location in cgi-bin, not to htdocs.  So try this instead:

- http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=../htdocs/mapdemo/itasca_demo.map&mode=map <http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/mapdemo/itasca_demo.map&mode=map>

2)      I am using Windows XP on my PC. When I give the URL in this format - http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/mapdemo/itasca_demo.map&mode=map", it doesn't work. But if I give it in format - http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:\Asif\work\devtools\MMS\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\mapdemo\itasca_demo.map&mode=map <http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:%5CAsif%5Cwork%5Cdevtools%5CMMS%5Cms4w%5CApache%5Chtdocs%5Cmapdemo%5Citasca_demo.map&mode=map> , it works. The problem in giving the URL is this format is I have to put the complete path starting with "C: drive" and if I have to run it on the server, I cannot give it like that. 

 

Could you please help me with both the above issues? Thanks!

Hi Asif,

I downloaded the demo.tif file that you sent earlier, and the itasca_demo.map from you rprevious email.  I changed the path in the DATA portion of the LAYER section to point to my filesystem, 
    DATA "/var/www/mapfiles/itasca/demo.tif"

and also changed the EXTENT to this:
  EXTENT  -0.9194182 -4.2013292 -0.9002422 -4.1870152

This matches the extent of the file when you run gdalinfo against it (min_x min_y max_x Max_y).

With these changes, I'm able to view the file with the following URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/mapfiles/itasca/itasca_demo.map&mode=map

(Note, I'm running this in Linux, so paths and URLs are going to be slightly different than yours)

Try changing your EXTENT entry to match mine, that might do the trick.

You'll want to ask the TileCache list about that, likely. Once you have MapServer actually serving up the imagery, get your client using MapServer or WMS (I like OpenLayers, myself). Then install TileCache and change the OL app to use TC's URL instead of MapServer's. Easy.

There is no tutorial for editing the source code. It's generally not for the faint of heart. The file
maplexer.l is part of the MapServer source distribution so if you build the software from source
then it would be right there along with the other C/C++ sources. If you're using MS4W I'm 
afraid you're out of luck until a new version of that package is made available with this change.

Asif,

While it may be a bit of overhead to implement just for testing, the
GeoMoose client would definitely help with your performance testing.  If
you combine it with FireBug/FireFox, you should be able to extract all
the performance information you need (from the client end).

>From the server side, you can run the MapServer requests on the
commandline.  In my experience though, the web side of the equation is
usually the bottleneck for most performance issues.

I have tiled a large mosaic(2 GB) by using the GDAL utility(gdal_convert
"TILED=YES"). I want to test the performance for querying the mosaic
with the zoom functionality. Do I need to write a client or is there
anything readily available with which I can check the performance?

Hi Asif,

My apologies.  I saw your message Friday evening but forgot about it
over the weekend in the course of reinstalling my Linux OS.  If time is
of the essence, posting your question to the entire list should ensure a
speedier response. 

Regarding your questions:

1) I am not aware of any applications that will act as viewers for
Mapserver operating in "map" mode.  They may exist, but I'm not familiar
with them.  I tend to use Mapserver in only one of two ways at the
moment; in "map" mode to generate static maps, in "wms" mode with a
connection to it via OpenLayers (or TileCache).

2) Regarding the path to your mapfile, I believe there are several
solutions that you can try if your goal is to shorten the URL string. 
They are well-explained here -
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/#more-about-the-online-resource-url.
 As far as why the 1st URL doesn't actually work, it's because the path
should be relative to the mapserv.exe location in cgi-bin, not to
htdocs.  So try this instead:

-
http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=../htdocs/mapdemo/itasca_demo.map&mode=map
<http://localhost:9090/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/mapdemo/itasca_demo.map&mode=map>

Hi
 
Went through my map files and found it is in the PLUGIN section:
 
# actual data pointer

  CONNECTION "esri-arcsde,port:5165,sde_crs,sansonr,password"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We have just installed ms4w onto a D:\ drive on a new server. Trying to get SDE connectivity going. When trying to access a layer that uses SDE i get the following error:

Where is this location set so I can re-point to d:/ms4w/apache/specialplugins/msplugin_sde_91.dll?

Hi Asif,

Why not giving a try to gdal2tiles ? it will build a whole tileset from
your input raster, and will set up for you a GoogleEarth kml, a Google
Maps sample app and an OpenLayers sample app as well, from which you'll
be able to read your tiles.

Regards,

Guillaume

You can see the documentation for SDE with MS4W in your local install 
at: /ms4w/README_INSTALL.txt, and also online at: 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#sde

You can also subscribe to the MS4W mailing list to ask configuration

filter the extent to 250 250 500 500.
Is this possible?

You can set ows_extent, but there is no guarantee that a WFS client will
honour this.

Then I fear it won't be possible with Mapserver, I don't even think WFS
has something for this. The only way would be preprocessing your dataset
before serving it out with WFS.

You sometimes see this as a feature of OWS security systems, maybe Deegree
OWSProxy can do it for you?

Bart

Message-ID: <49198537.7030701@i-real.nl>

Hi,

As in the subject. Is it possible to do a substr on a string like SQL 
can do.

I use SDE for source and in the description there is a long string, but 
i only need the last 3 characters.

I can't add column in the database so thats no option. I only have a sde 
host username and password.

Can anyone help me?

kind regards,

Rob ter Haar

Closer investigation of the GeoTiff files produced by UKHO shows that
although the cut out areas are white, they are all drawn with a different
pixel index.  That makes the whole job pretty simple to pull out the chart
data.

Now I'm fighting to get the "MapServer Demo" from the New User's
documentation to work.  It isn't acting like I expect and I'll probably
start another thread about it after searching for others who have had the
same frustrations that I'm having...

Thanks!

you'd use something like this:

* in your mapfile:
DATA "the_geom from ( select * from customised_point AS f where
user_id='%userid%' AND f.subcat_id IN (select subcat_id from subcat_info where
maincat_id =0))AS foo USING UNIQUE gid"

you can add a regular expression for validating the %userid% string
for your layer:
metadata
 userid_validation_pattern "[a-zA-Z]*"
end

* the the wms url should include a userid=foo in it:
wms[5] = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.Untiled("Customization",
"http://gis.rtbi-iitm.in/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/customisation/mapfile/customNR.map"
{'layers': "NR_point",'transparent':"true", 'userid':'foo'},
{'isBaseLayer':false} );

note that openlayers capitalizes the url params, so you should
probably use %USERID% in your mapfile

cheers,
thomas

Subject: [mapserver-users] ms4w with MapServer Demo...
Message-ID: <1226443262232-1487301.post@n2.nabble.com>


I've really tried to figure it out.  I've searched the forum and I've only
found one other person who had the exact same problem that I'm having - and
no one ever responded to his posting.

I've installed ms4w.  It worked fine.  As background, I'm barely familiar
with Apache.  I then downloaded the "MapServer Demo" which looks like a set
of tutorial datasets based around something called "MapServer Itasca
Application" - this is all from the MapServer New Users document.  I'm now
directed to place the "workshop" folder "someplace in your web tree."  Then
you're supposed to edit index.html and view it in a local browser window.

I put the workshop folder into the Apache/htdocs directory because I believe
that puts it at the root of my localhost server.  And in fact, when I load
http://localhost/workshop/index.html, the html file gets loaded.  The
problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to edit the html file to have
it point to the proper directories for the rest of the MapServer
configuration.

The things that need to be edited in the index.html file are:


        // EDIT THE NEXT 2 LINES TO MATCH YOUR SETUP
        var snippet = "IMAGEPATH '/usr/local/www/docs_maps/tmp/'";
        snippet += " IMAGEURL '/tmp/'";

and

    <!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION -->
    <form name="demo" method="GET" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv50"
onSubmit="configure()">

and

      <!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->
      <input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/usr/local/www/docs_maps/mapserver_demos/workshop-5.0/itasca.map">
      <input type="hidden" name="program" value="/cgi-bin/mapserv50">
      <input type="hidden" name="root"
value="/mapserver_demos/workshop-5.0">


I've made scores of edits to those three sections.  This is how I think they
really should be:

        // EDIT THE NEXT 2 LINES TO MATCH YOUR SETUP
        var snippet = "IMAGEPATH '/workshop/tmp/'";
        snippet += " IMAGEURL '/tmp/'";

and

    <!-- EDIT THE FORM ACTION -->
    <form name="demo" method="GET" action="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe"
onSubmit="configure()">

and

      <!-- EDIT THESE HIDDEN VARIABLES -->
      <input type="hidden" name="map" value="/workshop/itasca.map">
      <input type="hidden" name="program" value="/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe">
      <input type="hidden" name="root" value="/workshop">


Launching the index.html file produces:

mLoadMap(): Unable to access file. (/workshop/itasca.map)

The file "htdocs/workshop/itasca.map" does exist but it obviously isn't
going through the Apache path to get there.

What am I doing wrong?  This is terribly embarrassing...

Subject: [mapserver-users] How to set SCALEBAR size and intervals in
	MapServer CGI >5.0?
Message-ID: <491A2138.8090609@nsidc.org>

Dear MapServer Users,
Prior to MapServer 5.0, I could set the map scalebar size and intervals 
using CGI variables named "map_scalebar_size" and 
"map_scalebar_intervals". After upgrading to 5.2.0, however, these 
variables are no longer recognized; I get an error saying 
"loadScalebar(): Unknown identifier". Is it true that we can no longer 
reference map settings in this fashion? When I change these variables to 
"map_scalebar=size+value+intervals+value" it works, but this no longer 
fills in my template variables [map_scalebar_size] and 
[map_scalebar_intervals]. If I try using a template variable with 
[map_scalebar] instead, the value (e.g. 
"size+width+height+intervals+value") doesn't seem to be interpreted by 
MapServer since the scalebar settings never get subsequently modified. 
What am I doing wrong?  Thanks for any insights!
Cheers,

Subject: [mapserver-users] Adding symbols on top of polyline elements

Hello everybody,

I managed to draw the arrows for the polyline layer, and they look ok, 
but (for a strange reason) I am required to draw these arrows both ways 
sometimes for the same element. I would like for the arrows to overlap, 
but instead only one of them is displayed. I attached 3 small pictures 
(sorry for the spam, but I hope it's not against the mailing list 
policy) with the displayed outcome in these three cases:

Case 1: displaying arrows with the 'right' symbol
 CLASS
    NAME "Right"
    EXPRESSION /^FO040314$/
    STYLE
        SYMBOL right
        SIZE 24
        COLOR 51 102 0
    END
   END
   CLASS
    NAME "Left"
    EXPRESSION /SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS/
    STYLE
        SYMBOL left
        SIZE 24
        COLOR 102 51 0
    END
   END

Case 2:
displaying arrows with the 'left' symbol
  CLASS
    NAME "Right"
    EXPRESSION /SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS/
    STYLE
        SYMBOL right
        SIZE 24
        COLOR 51 102 0
    END
   END
   CLASS
    NAME "Left"
    EXPRESSION /^FO040314$/
    STYLE
        SYMBOL left
        SIZE 24
        COLOR 102 51 0
    END
   END

Case 3: displaying both arrows on the same element:
  CLASS
    NAME "Right"
    EXPRESSION /^FO040314$/
    STYLE
        SYMBOL right
        SIZE 24
        COLOR 51 102 0
    END
   END
   CLASS
    NAME "Left"
    EXPRESSION /^FO040314$/
    STYLE
        SYMBOL left
        SIZE 24
        COLOR 102 51 0
    END
   END

How can I display both arrows on the same object (or do they display, 
but they overlap completely?)

Thanks for your help,
Adrian

Message-ID: <453056.21371.qm@web57108.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

Hello everyone,

I'm new, and am currently having trouble figuring out what's wrong with my .map files.  I've checked all the lines in my .map files for missing parenthesees.  I'm getting this error when I try to click the button to load both test map files:

loadWeb(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp):(line 1)

Is there something wrong with my environment?  Are there differences in reading code in version 5.0.0.  I am using Windows XP, Mapserver 5.0.0, Apache, and PHP 5.2.4.
Any help is appreciated!
Here is my sample hello.map file:
# This is our "Hello World" mapfile

Thanks, but I know all of that already and am already aware of 
MapServer's online references and am an experienced user. I also know 
about the CGI reference that describes how to change map file parameters 
via a URL in >5.0 versus <5.0:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi/referencemanual-all-pages

On further investigation, I've discovered that I must specify a map file 
parameter as so in an HTTP GET request:

map_scalebar=size+width+height+intervals+value

But alternatively, I must use a different method for specifying these 
map file parameters in an HTTP POST request:

map_scalebar_size=width+height
map_scalebar_intervals=value

This requires me to code for two different scenarios. Is MapServer's 
intended behavior or is this an oversight/bug?? Thanks!
Cheers,
John Maurer

Hi,

  Here two ways where you can show scalebar. One is through mapfile and
another through Coding(C#, what I am using).
Thanks
Venkat.

I am sure you realize this violates the copyright of the book, so I find
this request very inappropriate to be honest.

Just buy it, it's less than 32 USD.

map files should contain a MAP object, ie. It should start with

Are you sure that map.scalebar=size+width+height+intervals+value doesn't 
work for both GET and POST? Are you really pointing to the same copy of 
mapserver in both cases? What errors do you get when you use that?

That's really what you should be using for 5.0, if that doesn't work 
then there is a bug and we'd need a ticket with a reproduceable test 
case to look into it. More examples are available in the 5.0 migration 
guide at

Subject: [mapserver-users] PHP/MapScript - Export SLD
Message-ID: <491AF54C.4010803@r3-gis.com>

Hello,

I would like to export a mapfile to sld using the following PHP/MapScript.

function ms_create_sld($map) {
  for($i=0;$i<$map->numlayers;$i++) {
    // - get Layer
    $layer = $map->getLayer($i);
   
    // generate the sld for that layer
    $SLD = $layer->generateSLD();

    // save sld to a file
    $fp = fopen("sld/merano/".$layer->name."-sld.xml", "w+");
    fputs($fp, $SLD);
    fclose($fp);
  }
}

Unfortunately it seems that OUTLINECOLOR is not exported, see following 
mapfile-fragment. It seems that this happens only with POINT Layers.
I'm using MapServer 5.0.3 on Centos5. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Regards Daniel

Yes there are difference with 5.0.  In fact I recommend that you always 
search the archives of this list before posting, as this is a common 
problem:

The MapServer Itasca demo application is available as an add-on package 
for MS4W and can be downloaded at the same location: 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html (no 
configuration needed)

Also, be aware that the MS4W mailing list exists for configuration 
questions like yours (subscribe at: 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=mailinglist.html)

Message-ID: <491AF7DF.2030905@r3-gis.com>

Hello,

the attached SLD should render a point layer with an outlinecolor (see 
stroke), unfortunately the stroke-color seems to overwrite the fill color.
Images are attached. withoutsld.png would be the expected result, 
withsld.png is the actual result.
Can anybody help me?

I'm using MapServer 5.0.3 on Centos5 and the render client is OpenLayers.

These tickets could be related:

No need to be embarassed; this is one of the most difficult things to do with Mapserver (the other is coordinate systems and EXTENT).  The Itasca Workshop demo is set up for Linux, so the paths are not very typical for a Windows installation. And some of the variables are relative to the Web Server's Document Root and others are relative to the Windows file system Root.  And for MS4W, some paths are "aliased" in Apache's hppd.conf file!

Here are some Windows-style values (I'm doing this from memory, so some tweaking may be required) appropriate for an MS4W install:

IMAGEPATH 'C:\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp\'
	- relative to file system root
	- forward or back slashes ok; drive letters ok (but not "mapped" shared drives)

IMAGEURL '/ms_tmp/'
	- relative to Apache document root (C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs)
	- for MS4W, this is aliased in Apache's hppd.conf file

map	"C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\workshop\itasca.map"
	- relative to file system root

program	"/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe"
	- relative to Apache document root 
	- for MS4W, this is aliased in Apache's hppd.conf file

root	"/workshop"
	- I'm not sure about this one, my guess is it is relative to Apache document root

And as Jeff M. points out, there are demos available on the MS4W site that are pre-configured to work painlessly with MS4W.  

Good luck!

only ONE class is drawn for each feature, the first one in the rder of
the mapfile to meet the expression and scale tests. so your second
class is never rendered in this case.

CLASS
     NAME "Rightand left"
     EXPRESSION /^FO040314$/
     STYLE
         SYMBOL right
         SIZE 24

     STYLE

Dear MapServer Users,
Please disregard this inquiry. I since found the problem in my CGI file. 
I was using MapServer 5.2.0 in one place but accidentally still calling 
MapServer 4.99 in another, thus causing the discrepancy in how I needed 
to reference parameters in my map file. Still, though, I wonder why 
MapServer >5.0 didn't retain the ability to reference parameters in a 
hierarchy like "map_scalebar_size" since now I have to go back and 
change all of these references in my code to "map_scalebar=size+value"?? 
Unfortunately, this change makes things so they are not backwards 
compatible.
Cheers,
John

That's what I'm doing (with lines) and it works great ...

	Hello,
	
	the attached SLD should render a point layer with an outlinecolor
(see stroke), unfortunately the stroke-color seems to overwrite the fill
color.
	Images are attached. withoutsld.png would be the expected result,
withsld.png is the actual result.
	Can anybody help me?
	
	I'm using MapServer 5.0.3 on Centos5 and the render client is
OpenLayers.

Subject: [mapserver-users] RESOLUTION problem
Message-ID: <b5e984250811120919q3c9c6682iba8956610b3fc893@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

I'm developing an aplicattion based on mapserver in which I have a text box
to set a numerical scale. This numerical scale ($_scale = 20000) is used to
render the image via the following mapscript:


$_scale = 20000;
$center_point=ms_newPointObj();
$center_point->setXY($map->width/2, $map->height/2);
$map->zoomscale($_scale,$center_point, $map->width, $map->height,
$map->extent);

However the image retrieved doesn't have the correct dimensions. The
graphical scale is correct, but 1 cm on the image doesn't corresponde to
20000 (in this case) on the ground.

I know that the RESOLUTION parameter is used to perform scale computations,
so what RESOLUTION should I use on the mapfile?
RESOLUTION depends on monitor size and monitor resolution, right?
How can the server/browser know the monitor size/resolution?


Best regards,
Andr? Silva

Daniel,

  I could confirm that http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2548 was 
still an issue in the current mapserver code. I have committed the fix 
in the trunk and updated the bug. Please give it a try and let me know. 
I will also possibility fix it in the 5.2.x branch so it will be 
available for the upcoming release.
With this fix, I was able to use your example SLD and have the expected 
result. Note that I did not so any testing with the 5.0.x release

Best Regards,

Hello all;

I have the same problem with MS4W.  I have set up the MS4W succesfully. But
I can't set up the demo file. I can't understand which files should be
edited and where to store these files on apache server and also map server.
I am looking forward to solve this problem. Unfortunately I can't find the
sections needed to be edited in the demo folder in index.html file. I am
also very upset about this problem. My aim is to understand how to use map
server and develop my own applications.

Kind regards.

Cemre Y.

Subject: [mapserver-users] GeoMoose 1.6.1 Released
Message-ID: <491AE021020000A80000EB21@jeckle>

The Moose herd is pleased to announce that GeoMoose 1.6.1 has been officially released.

    * Release History <http://www.geomoose.org/moose/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=39>

    * Download (GeoMoose 1.6.1 [SourceForge]) <http://sourceforge.net/projects/geomoose>

The GeoMOOSE project is client-side code that uses a variety of JavaScript,
XML, and DHTML technologies to interface with other web-clients. The primary
target of GeoMoose is for integration with the UofM MapServer, but it is not dependent
upon it for operation.

Design objectives include:
    * Code must be developed in an Services Oriented Architecture.
    * Configureability for users.
    * Easy maintenance for data owners.
    * A client interface for MapServer, but designed to be open to other server engines.
    * Targeted use cases for local governments.

Subject: [mapserver-users] dBox - Hide mapfile source
Message-ID: <491B05DB.819C.00CA.0@state.tn.us>

I am looking for some help in how to hide the map file source in a dBox application.  My environment is IIS 6 on Win Server 2003 with
Python mapscript using Mapserver 5.0.2.  I am accessing my dBox source files from a network file server.
 
In my application html, my config.mapfile variable is set something like this:
 
config.mapfile = '//someserver/somehiddenshare$/webapps/RockMS.map';
 
When a user views the web page source code in the browser, the file server name and path are exposed which I do not want.  I have seen references to CGI wrappers but can't
see how they apply to dBox applications.
 
Thanks

Easiest way is to use an environment variable in your web server. In Apache you just do:

  SetEnv RockMSMap //someserver/somehiddenshare$/webapps/RockMS.map

and then in javascript:

  config.mapfile = 'RockMSMap'

Not sure how you'd do that with IIS but I imagine it's possible.

Thanks for the reply Thomas,

I will try a workaround by creating a third symbol with both arrows on 
top of it ><

you don't have to... you can use the multiple style blocks as I showed
in my last email....
althoug you will have to play with offsets to avoid the symbols overlapping

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] Setting offset on a symbol within STYLE
Message-ID: <20477081.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hi,

I'm trying to move my icon, which is a small flag, to fit correctly on my
map. I'm reading the geometry from a PostGIS table. Displaying the icon
works, except for the offset, which doesn't work at all. MS sytematically
puts the icon on the point (i.e. the point is in the "middle" of my icon). I
tried all possible values for OFFSET, negative/positive, but it just won't
move. I'm working on Mapserver 5.0.0. Did anyone know why this happens?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I read the documentation and found a thread
in the forum dealing with a similar problem, but it didn't help me much.

http://www.nabble.com/Symbol-Origin-to18715006.html#a18734570

Here's an example taken from my mapfile (the icon is 22*31px):

CLASS
  EXPRESSION ([idstatus] eq 2)
  SIZE 24
  STYLE
    SYMBOL 'etc/icons/pos/ti_icon_tourende_pos.gif'
    OFFSET 11 15
  END # style
END #class


Thanks,

Philippe

Subject: [mapserver-users] White screen after editing mapfile
Message-ID: <20081113135646.53490@gmx.net>

Hello list,

I?m very new to mapserver and all his tricks.
I run a mapserver together with the pmapper software on a virtual server (1&1 in Germany) in Linux. For testing I load one shapefile into the map and everything runs fine. But when I try to edit the mapfile to show a second shapefile my screen is white and nothing happens.
I copied the running file to the server and everything runs fine. 
To test, if my edits caused the crash, I deleted to mapfile from server and copied it to the server again. Even the file is the same as before (same contents, same savingdate, ...) the screen remains white and the mapserver does nothing.
It?s a mystery.

Has anyone the experience? Or can point me a way to solve this problem?

Any suggestions are helpful.
Thanks in advance

My thoughts:

- use the MapServer commandline utility 'shp2img' to debug your mapfile 
(see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/utilityreference/shp2img)
- try removing all layers but the one problem layer and then try shp2img 
with that tiny mapfile
- make sure the EXTENT parameter matches that extents of that one layer
- do some reading on the PROJECTION object, as you could be using 2 data 
layers in difference projections:

Hello,

thanks for your response. I attatched the mapfile. 

But I don?t think somethings wrong with the mapfile. Everything runs fine, then I delete the mapfile from the server and copy the same mapfile to the server again. Everything is identical, but the mapserver crashes.

Steve,
It seems to me that once Javascript interprets the variable, a user will see the value of the env variable if they view the source code in a browser.  I am not sure of this though.

I'm sorry, I got the impression from your original posting that you were having trouble when adding a second shapefile to your map, thus I assumed your problem was with adding a second LAYER, or with the second shapefile.   Now, it seems as if you are suggesting that simply editing the file, and making NO changes will cause a crash?

Perhaps you are running into a problem with Unix and Windows file types?  

Please, more info,

What system did you create your "original" file on?
What system are you performing your edits on?

Hello,

thanks for your response. I attatched the mapfile. 

But I don?t think somethings wrong with the mapfile. Everything runs fine, then I delete the mapfile from the server and copy the same mapfile to the server again. Everything is identical, but the mapserver crashes.

Robert,

I make the hole mapserver on my local machine under windows. I tested it with a local apache server. Then I make some edits to the mapfile (e.g. imagepath) and put it on the internet server (virtual server under linux). It runs fine. I want to do my changes on the local machine and put the updates via ftp to the internet server.
The mystery is, that that mapserver works fine at one moment, but without doing edits on the mapfile, just deleting and copiing again to internet server, it crashes.
Could there be a link between the mapserver (or some other process or file) and the mapfile, which is cut when deleting the mapfile. I thought that, the mapfile is read new by the mapserver everytime a new map is build.

Hi list, 

I'm configuring Mapserver to support WMS/WFS Server and client features, but it doesn't 
works. 

I execute the ./configure script and this is what i get : 

MapServer is now configured for

Once I execute the make script and then check with ./mapserver -v, this is what i get :

OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE 
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS 
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

But it doesn't shows SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT nor SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER nor 
SUPPORT=WFS_CLIENT


Does anyone knows how to solve this ?

Thanks in advance

The web server interprets the variable, not the browser. The browser never sees the expanded value
unless you want it to.

What does your ./configure look like?  Did you specify
--with-curl-config=PATH ?

Yes, i specify --the with-curl-config parameter. This is my configure string :



./configure --with-proj=/usr/lib --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config

What does your ./configure look like?  Did you specify

Hi,

I'd like to add some examples to the
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/mapscript_python page.
Unfortunately, when I try to register for an account at
mapserver.gis.umn.edu, I get an error saying "No space left on device".

Could someone let me know if there is another way that I can register?

Thanks,

Roger

Thanks, but it now the registration service appears unable to contact either
my company's mail server, or GMail's.  Is it possible something is still

It's not possible within mapserver itself. With PostGIS or Oracle Spatial you can specify functions in your data
statements essentially creating a column on-the-fly. Perhaps that's possible with SDE as well?

Message-ID: <0FB1F527BFBF944991C0DBF8910F5B0A47398D@candle.idir.bcgov>

Mapserver 5.2 build for ArcSDE 9.1 point layers

I am having an issue with ArcSDE 9.1 SP3 point layers and Mapserver 5.2.
I took a .map file that works in mapserver 4.10 and since it didn't work
with point data, I have gone ahead and tried to tweak a simple point
layer to try and figure out what it doesn't like.. I have tried most of
the things listed here
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/vector_data/arcsde 

- Adding the sde.default didn't seem to make a difference. 
- using or not using attribute data to label seems to not affect the
outcome. I have tried with and without a template reference. 
- I have tried 
CONNECTION
slkux1.env.gov.bc.ca,port:5153,sde,proxy_mapserver_dev,password" (which
works with lines and polygons)
CONNECTION "slkux1.env.gov.bc.ca,5153,sde,proxy_mapserver_dev, password"
CONNECTION
"slkux1.env.gov.bc.ca,port,5153,sde,proxy_mapserver_dev,password"
CONNECTION
"slkux1.env.gov.bc.ca,port:5153,idwprod1,proxy_mapserver_dev,password"
CONNECTION
"slkux1.env.gov.bc.ca,port:5153,,proxy_mapserver_dev,password"
CONNECTION
"slkux1.env.gov.bc.ca,port:5153,sde,PROXY_MAPSERVER_DEV,password" 
- I have tested with and without labelitem to no affect.

- invalid or null geometries in the layer: I could check that there are
no invalid or null geometries for one point layer. But I find it odd
that all point layers failed, while all line/polygon layers passed. And
no other applications that use these layers complain (ie. ArcIMS,
Geoserver)

Attached is the latest debug 5 result as well. 
ArcSDE INFO - idwprod1	
   Solaris 64bit	
   RDBMS Version - 10.2.0.2 	
   RDBMS Edition EE		
   ArcSDE Version 9.1	
   ArcSDE patch level SP3

Hi,

I want to know if it is possible to generate a legend for a layer with a 
filter.
I am getting a blank response with a mode=legend for this layer.
I tried passing the parameter that i am using in the filter, in the 
request but didn't work either.

This is the layer in the mapfile:
layer
  name filterlayer
  connectiontype postgis
  connection "user= username dbname=db password=passwd host=localhost"
  group world
  type polygon
  status on
  class
    style
      width 3
    color 170 153 175
    outlinecolor 000 000 000
   end
  end
  filter 'id IN (%pid%)'
  data "topology from dbtable"
  transparency 65
  end

Thank you.

Regards,
Subha

Hi list,

anyone is experienced about creating raster on-the-fly in a mapscript
application?

I generate a regular grid of georeferenced values (floats) and I want to
display this values as raster, classifying the values using a colorrange.
Can mapserver read an ascii grid as datasource? if not, in your experience
which format is the best?

thanks for any hint.

Message-ID: <BLU132-W34C510198E019A7033571AFA160@phx.gbl>



I came across a problem while using python mapscript's queryByAttribute
function. I have a layer containing the fieldname "STATE" amongst
others. Issuing:

try:
   layer.queryByAttribute(map,"STA","AZ",MS_MULTIPLE)
except:
   print "attribute error"
   pass

By now the mapserver exception is caught for the faulty attribute. If a draw function is now issued:

map.draw()

The following error occurs:

<class '_mapscript.MapServerError'>: msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'countries'. msDBFGetItemIndex(): DBASE file error. Item 'STA' not found.
I reproduced it many times and in many occasions. I tried to
clear any result cache but in vain. Shouldn;t mapserver handle the
situation more logically?

Pietro,
Mapserver uses gdal to read grids, and thus, the type of grid is controlled by your gdal configuration options.

The following command line will tell you the formats your install supports:
gdalinfo --formats

More info on the mapserver docs:

http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data

I have successfully loaded a raster grid in the past, and your proposed approach seems fairly straightforward.

Message-ID: <BAY137-W21CC3A912B41B358CF9D8BDA160@phx.gbl>


  I am trying to duplicate a web application using mapserver.  The old application uses this cgi-bin call to pull data when you click on the map.  http://hdsc.nws.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/hdsc/buildout.perl?type=pf&units=us&series=pd&statename=UTAH&stateabv=ut&study=sa&season=All&intype=5&plat=40.754&plon=-110.596&liststation=0&slat=lat&slon=lon&mlat=40.754&mlon=-110.596&elev=11682

Is there some way to use this same callout but set the state name and x,y coordinates to variables tied to the map in mapserver?  Please help!

Two ideas:

  - write a simple wrapper script around MapServer to translate variables between the old and new
  - use Apache mod_rewrite to do that translation

I tested and wrote that note...and am not aware of a workaround yet.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Failed to show Arabic labels with MapServer 5.2
Message-ID: <5BE670BDF87643C092DFDBB4E729213F@jcdesktop>

Hi,

We've build the MapServer 5.2 on a Linux server, with fribidi2 0.19.1, to
try show Arabic labels. But the words has been broken down to characters in
the generated images (line.png). Then we've tried on a MS4W 2.3.0 server,
but the images (ms4w.png) are even worse.

We are using PostGIS, and the database is using UTF8 (pgpr.png), while all
Arabic data can be shown correctly (pg.png) on my English Windows XP, and
we've tried some more machines, or on IE, to make sure that Arabic text in
database are really UTF8.

Here's the images: http://www3.mapasia.com/jackout/ara.png

The part of the map file is as follow, where the "arbic-trans" is a Arabic
TrueType font named "Arabic Transparent":
LABEL
ANGLE FOLLOW
PRIORITY [priority]
ENCODING "UTF-8"
COLOR 0 0 0
OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT "arbic-trans"
SIZE 7
POSITION AUTO
PARTIALS FALSE
MINDISTANCE 500
BUFFER 1
MINFEATURESIZE 50
END

Could anyone please help.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Ubuntu libpdf support for Mapserver
Message-ID: <9c2015090811151723w5f7bf677v5861bf5fd5cb3438@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

I'm just about done building a fresh copy of Mapserver 5.2 on my Ubuntu 8.04
machine and have one final snag to overcome - PDF support.  I've specified
"--with-pdf" in my compile options, but when I look carefully, I see "libpdf
not found or too old", and my resulting mapserv executable lacks PDF
support.  Problem is that there doesn't seem to be a "libpdf", or "pdflib"
package for Ubuntu, so I'm not really sure what to do.

There are a couple other *pdf*.so files in /usr:
/usr/lib/tracker/extract-modules/libextract-pdf.so
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/libpdffilter680li.so
/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.7/modules-Q16/coders/pdf.so
/usr/lib/evince/backends/libpdfdocument.so

Could I use one of those instead?

Thanks,

Roger

Hi guys,
I need suggestions for the following problems:

1. I want to put transparency on polygon layer so that aerial photo could be seen below it. I have tried TRANSPARECY and OPACITY but i only get faded not transparent layer. My imagetype is PNG
?
2. The explanation notes of wfs on mapserver web page is very confusing. Can someone walk me through on how to set up wfs server and client maps?

What is unclear about the docs?

In addition to http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_server and http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wfs_client, check out the MapServer OGC Web Services Workshop (http://ms-ogc-workshop.maptools.org/) which has examples of how to setup both.

Not really sure what you are asking here.  Some other client
application?  OpenLayers would be one that I would use to see if I could
connect to WFS.  There are some examples in the OpenLayers code base for
connecting to WFS servers, so you should b able to test that by simply
changing the info to reflect your server specs.

You could get the PDFLib lite source from 
http://www.pdflib.com/download/pdflib-family/pdflib-lite/ and compile it 
locally on your system. The usual 'configure; make; make install' recipe 
should install it to /usr/local/bin by default, and then using 
--with-pdf=/usr/local on your Mapserver configure line should do the trick.

Please see also the README.CONFIGURE file in the MapServer source 
package which has some notes about building PDFLib vs libpng and zlib 
that you may need to take into account... i.e. you may have to configure 
your pdflib '--with-pnglib --with-zlib' as it is suggested there.

Jackey,

Try locating a different font. if the text is being rendered as glyphs 
and they look correct, but is missing the joining information, it is 
likely that the font you are using does not include the joining glyphs.

If you are using a windows machine, try getting mapserver via the 
fonts.txt file to point to the arial.ttf in the fonts folder. And change 
you FONT "..." to select the windows arial font. This assumes that you 
can display arabic text correctly using the arial font from a windows 
application like excel.

Hi john,
simply omit the whole STYLE in the class, this make the layer transparent.
Or, if this seems dirty, set COLOR -1 -1 -1 and OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1.
In fact the TRANSPARENCY 1 render a very faded layer, while TRANSPARENCY 0
is like TRANSPARENCY 100...

(TRANSPARENCY is deprecated in ms5, use OPACITY)

let me know, ciao

Subject: [mapserver-users] Join shapefile to csv
Message-ID: <s91d6427.019@co.benton.mn.us>

I am trying to join my parcel shapefile to tax information stored as a
.csv file.  I have follwed the instructions at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/join with no
success.

Here is the Layer object from the mapfile:

LAYER
	NAME 'Parcels'
	DATA './Parcels.shp'
	STATUS DEFAULT
	TYPE LINE
	JOIN
		NAME "TaxInfo"
		TABLE "./20081008.csv"
		FROM "TaxPIN"
		TO "PIN"
		TYPE ONE-TO-ONE
	END
	CLASS
		NAME 'Parcel Boundary'
		TYPE LINE
		STYLE
		     COLOR 3 3 3
		     OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
		     WIDTH 1
		END
	END
END

Here is the html identify template:

<tr BGCOLOR="969696">
<td colspan="2"><u><b>Parcel Information</b></u></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><em>Parcel ID:</em></td><td>[TaxPIN]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><em>Owner Name:</em></td><td>[TaxInfo_PRIM TAXP NAME]",
"[TaxInfo_PRIM TAXP NAME 2]</td>
</tr>

Here is what is an example of what is returned when I identify the
parcels:

Parcel Information 
Parcel ID: 040023800 
Owner Name: [TaxInfo_PRIM TAXP NAME]", "[TaxInfo_PRIM TAXP NAME 2] 

Using the tool does not cause any sort of an error.  I'm hoping that
there is something simple I am missing.  Any help would be much
appreciated.

Hi,

I don't think if there were any significant change in the codebase in
this regard. However many of the issues are handled by locks according
to http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/thread_safety .
However I consider we could possibly improve the code further by
avoiding the need of the global resources/locks to improve the
performance, but many of these are dedicated to the dependent
libraries which cannot be easily controlled by the mapserver project
itself.

Best regards,

Tamas

looks like mod_fastcgi is not an option with ms4w and oracle 10.
anyway it had little benefits.

i now got mapserver 5.2 and 4.8:
i thought 5.2 had native built-in support for oracle 10, but it is
giving me "OracleSpatial is not supported" error. i also thought 4.8
could get ogr support for oracle 10 by following the steps on
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#oracle-10g.
4.8 connects, but returns multiple ORA-xxxx errors.

so:
do i have to install oracle 10 client locally and make changes to
httpd.conf for 5.2 to work?
how do i find correct srid for 4.8 to work? (DATA "GEOMETRY from
(select GEOMETRY from STATES where NAME = 'New York')")
any performance difference between native built-in and ogr supports?

btw i got oracle 10 client (with tnsnames.ora) on 4.8 box. other than
returning multiple ora-xxxx errors, 4.8 also returns "web template
error" if i use /ignored-libmap/oracle10g/libmap.dll. this error is
even for only shapefile maps. error goes away when i switch back to
normal libmap.dll.

Steve,

Thanks for the advise, but we've tried the Arial font already in the first
test, it's just the same. We thought it was the fribidi2's problem since
0.19.1 doesn't have their configure script changed, and tried the 0.10.9,
but it's all the same, every word is broken.

Jackey,

I don't have experience rendering arabic fonts, but I wonder if the  
ticket for supporting Indic Fonts might provide some clues for your  
further testing:

We've build the MapServer 5.2 on a Linux server, with fribidi2 0.19.1, to
try show Arabic labels. But the words are not joined. Then we've tried on an
MS4W 2.3.0 server, it's worse.
We are using PostGIS, and the database is using UTF8 (pgpr.png), while all
Arabic data can be shown correctly on my English Windows XP, and we've tried
some more machines, or on IE, to make sure that Arabic text in database are
really UTF8.

Here's the images: http://www3.mapasia.com/jackout/ara.png

The part of the map file is as follow, where the "arbic-trans" is a Arabic
TrueType font named "Arabic Transparent":
LABEL
ANGLE FOLLOW
PRIORITY [priority]
ENCODING "UTF-8"
COLOR 0 0 0
OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT "arbic-trans"
SIZE 7
POSITION AUTO
PARTIALS FALSE
MINDISTANCE 500
BUFFER 1
MINFEATURESIZE 50
END

Any clue?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Failed to show Arabic labels with MapServer 5.2

I've located the problem, it seems that the TTF font (Arabic Transparent) is
not 100% unicode safe. And maybe I've messed something up, so that the font
Arial didn't produce the correct result. But now I can use Arial to produce
image.

However, there still seems to be a slight problem (well, I'm not sure
whether it is a proble, since I can't read Arabic). When the label has an
angle, the words are broken a bit. Although they are using the joined
character but there are tiny gaps between them.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem making mapserv on Linux with fribidi
Message-ID: <bfb704a40811172357j7fd4dcb6peecf52df5d936a4e@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings!

We've tried to build MapServer on our Linux test server, and it goes fine
with no error reported. However, when we put it to test, all Arabic words
are broken but the character sequence is correctly ordered from right to
left (attached jpg).

We've tried to download the latest version from MapServer's and FriBidi's
official site and done it again, still no success.

The box is a CentOS 5.1, and here's the command line we've used:
./configure \
--with-jpeg \
--with-png \
--with-freetype \
--with-proj \
--with-geos \
--with-ogr \
--with-gdal \
--with-curl \
--with-tiff \
--with-gd \
--with-libiconv \
--with-zlib \
--with-xpm \
--with-agg=/usr/local/agg \
--with-grass \
--with-httpd=/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd \
--with-php=/usr/local/php \
--with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config \
--with-fribidi-config=/usr/local/lib/pk


and here's the mapfile:

Also you must set the transparency (opacity in ms5) at LAYER level.
The scale is from 1 - very transparent, almost invisible - to 100 - full
color.
I use this as mapfile:
_______________________
map
	...
	imagetype		png
	...
	outputformat
		name		png
		driver		"gd/png"
		mimetype		"image/png"
		imagemode	rgb
		extension		"png"
	end
	...
	layer
		...
		transparency 	20  # from 1 to 100
		...
	end
	...
end
____________________________

No matter set the TRANSPARENT ON at map level

let me know

Zach,

Your DATA statement is almost correct. If you are going to use the UNIQUE
keyword (for supporting queries), you must put a column name after UNIQUE
and before the SRID.

Either of these would work:

DATA ' GEOM from STATES using UNIQUE ID srid 90112'

or

DATA ' GEOM from STATES using srid 90112'

Assuming you have a column named ID, of course.

Mike

Hi Tio,

The 'ttt' template should exist but it should be blank. Open an empty
document
in notepad or textpad etc and save that empty document as 'ttt.html'. Each
layer
in the mapfile has to reference a template in order for that layer to be
considered 
queryable by mapserver. If you want your getfeatureinfo results to be
presented in 
html format however, you will have to write an html template that fits your
data 
(with header and footer if you want multiple results returned). If all your
layers 
reference the 'ttt' template, the only output formats for getfeatureinfo
results you
can use are text/plain and text/gml. hope that helps a little,

Tom

using 4.8 with /ignored-libmap/oracle10g/libmap.dll. how do i tell if
i have native or ogr support for oracle 10g? i also edited httpd.conf

still no luck.

Hi,

Have you checked that the SQL statement
SELECT ID, GEOM FROM STATES WHERE SDO_FILTER(
GEOM, MDSYS.SDO_GEOM(2003, 90112,
NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),MDSYS.SDO
_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-179,-89.5166667,179,83.5166667) ),'querytype=window')
= 'TRUE'

works from SQL*Plus or something else that you are using with your Oracle? If not, then investigate and adjust the DATA string accordingly.

sql*plus returns this error:
ORA-06553: PLS-221: 'SDO_GEOM' is not a procedure or is undefined
06553. 00000 - "PLS-%s: %s"
*Cause:
*Action:
Error at Line:x Column:x

"select ID, GEOM from STATES" works though. i have oracle locator not
spatial, if that matters. also column GEOM is type SDO_GEOMETRY with
MDSYS.SPATIAL_INDEX.

Hi Steve,

Which version of MapServer do you use? There was an issue in V5.0.0 and 
older that was fixed only in 5.0.1. I wonder if that's what you're 
running into:

   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2312

If you are using 5.0.1 or a more recent release then perhaps you could 
file a ticket with a short mapfile to reproduce and we'll have a look.

I'm not setup to test this, but it seems to me that calling 
msResetErrorList() in the exception handling block might do the trick.

Jackey,

I'm not sure how much more I can help other than to say:

1) make sure you are building with fribidi2 version 0.19.1+
2) Since character are generated individually on rotated labels, there 
may be an issue. Thomas Bonfort would be the person that implemented the 
AGG. You should probably try doing this with the AGG driver if you have 
not tried that yet. That is what I'm using.
3) try to locate a better/different font that supports Arabic

It seems that the --with-ld-shared config option is not bullet-proof... 
it is intended to be used to specify the link command to use to build 
shared libs, and calling it with no argument results in the link command 
being set to "yes"... and then you get the error that you got.

If you don't need it (and I don't think you do) then take it out.

I have also modified the configure script in trunk (future 5.4) to 
ignore --with-ld-shared if it is passed with no argument to avoid this 
error.

on re-reading Steve W's point #2 - perhaps the specific bug is that
there is a difference with when in the sequence of drawing,
OUTLINECOLOR is applied

i) when ANGLE is AUTO, OUTLINECOLOR is applied after the whole label is drawn

ii) when ANGLE is FOLLOW, OUTLINECOLOR is applied after each letter is drawn

so this ends up making a joined Arabic label look "fractured" if both
OUTLINECOLOR and ANGLE FOLLOW are used at the same time.

Hello,

I ve got a big problem with php/mapscript.I ve tried a simple "hello world"
example (from Beginning MapServer Open Source GIS Development) and I didn't
get any error message, but the browser couldn't generate the rendered pic. I
don't know what the problem could be, but all codes what I ve made had the
same problem. I attached the bad codes. Thx for ur help and I'm looking
forward to your answer.

*The php/mapscript file:*

<?php
dl('php_mapscript.dll');

$image_name = sprintf("phpms-hello%0.6d",rand(0,999999)).".png";

$map = ms_newMapObj("c:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/hello_world/hello.map");

$image=$map->draw();

$image->saveImage("c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/".$image_name);

?>

<html>
<head><title>PHP MapScript Hello World</title></head>
<body>
<form action="hello.php" method="POST">
    <input type="image" name="img"
        src="c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/<?php echo $image_name; ?>">
</form>
</body>
</html>

*The map file:*

# "Hello World" mapfile

here are some comments:


- MS4W is pre-configured for the following settings:

   IMAGEPATH "/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"
   IMAGEURL  "/ms_tmp/"

Make sure to use those settings in all of your MS4W mapfiles.

- you can test that your mapfile generates a map image properly by using 
the shp2img commandline utility, that is included in MS4W 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/utilityreference/shp2img)

- MS4W also comes with a small PHP file that can generate a map image 
(see /ms4w/Apache/htdocs/quickmap.php)

Message-ID: <33c7a1e70811181714p1a523238w399a1b05eb4502a0@mail.gmail.com>

G'day;

I am having a few problems with mapserver segfaulting when it tries to draw
a map. Am a little stumped as to why...

Am on Ubuntu 8.10, x64. Started with the packaged mapserver that came with
it (5.0.x) but have moved up in the world firstly to 5.2.0 and am now using
5.3-dev from the nightly builds (this one was the 17th I think). All
versions have produced the same segfault.

The call the browser makes is as follows:
http://192.168.0.35/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/wa_coast.map&LAYERS=possie&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&ISBASELAYER=false&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&BBOX=115.9375,-32.1875,117.25,-30.875&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256

Which returns a 500 error.

Examination of the syslog produces:
Nov 19 10:13:06 spoor kernel: [130315.478944] mapserv[4986]: segfault at
7fff04e39ff8 ip 00007f0efbb2ae6e sp 00007fff04e3a000 error 6 in
libgdal1.5.0.so.1.12.2[7f0efb9f2000+4f4000]

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers;
Sam Ingarfield

Sam,

Is the crash consistent with this request?  Do other requests succeed?

It looks like it is crashing in GDAL.

I would suggest that you run and run mapserv at the commandline with the
same request.  If you can reproduce the crash that way, then try running
it in gdb and getting a traceback.  You may want to rebuild GDAL with
debug info though that may be a hassle if you are using a pre-packaged GDAL.

What input raster formats are you using?

Best regards,

Following TC's suggestion, I've done a test.

With this map file layer:

    LAYER

        CONNECTION                "host=localhost dbname=ttt user=uuu

        DATA                            "geom FROM view_road_ar USING UNIQUE

        LABELITEM                    "name"

        CLASS
            STYLE
                WIDTH                    16
                COLOR                    0 0 0
                ANTIALIAS            TRUE
            END
            STYLE
                WIDTH                    15.8
                COLOR                    255 200 64
                ANTIALIAS            TRUE
            END
            LABEL
                ANGLE                    FOLLOW
                ENCODING            "UTF-8"
                COLOR                    0 0 0
                OUTLINECOLOR    255 255 255
                TYPE                    TRUETYPE
                FONT                    arial
                SIZE                    24
                ANTIALIAS            TRUE
                POSITION            AUTO
                PARTIALS            FALSE
                BUFFER                50
            END
        END
    END

With nothing changed, only change the ANGLE to AUTO and FOLLOW, the
generated images confirms the different processs of ANGLE AUTO & FOLLOW.
Then I've done one more test which uses ANGLE FOLLOW, but with OUTLINECOLOR
removed, then generated image shows "fractured" words.

On a related note--I wasted about 2hrs last night scratching my head
as to why php/mapscript wasn't working... It turned out the
php_mapscript library was from the 5.0.2 mapserver release, while the
mapserver executable was 5.2.0.

OK, this is great. I think I learned something new then.
With ANGLE AUTO you can ask GD to draw the whole string at the specified 
angle. But there is not equivalent function in GD for ANGLE FOLLOW. The 
only way we can do that is one character at a time, changing the 
insertion point and angle of each character.

I know Thomas has put a lot of effort into make the AGG render well 
integrated with mapserver. It would probably be a good idea to document 
this issue and the fact that the outlinecolor is what is causing in a 
bug. http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/  If you do not have an OSGeo 
userid, follow the link to get one first.

Thank you for your patience and Thank you, Tanya, for your excellent 
observations on this issue.

I've subscribed to your ticket in case I can be of further help down the road.

In the meantime, based on looking at your last example, the labels
without OUTLINECOLOR are pretty good, the one thing I would recommend
further is decreasing your font size by a point or two. This will
minimize the occurence of small fractures that happen when the label
bends around a tight curve (something almost inevitable).

Hi Frank,

You're absolutely right.  Changing those values in mapresample.c to 10
removed the artifacts when using a WMS request.  They're still present when
the request is made via mapscript though.  I need to manually code a
mapscript example though, because right now I'm testing that via TileCache,
and I'm not 100% certain how the image is being requested.  Can you think of
a reason why WMS would be different from a straight read and reproject
through mapscript?

cc'ing TileCache list and mapserver lists as well

the shipped gcc with 8.10 does not play nice with mapserver and gdal.
Try setting your compile optimisation flag to -O0 and -O2 to see if
this fixes the segfault.

Subject: [mapserver-users] ms4w (fastcgi) and oracle 10?

Hi,

Sorry, I cannot help you much further. I checked, however, the SQL against our Oracle 10g Spatial, and I got the same error 'SDO_GEOM' is not a procedure or is undefined. Reason is a typo in SDO_FILTER parameters.  Now it reads
WHERE SDO_FILTER( GEOM, MDSYS.SDO_GEOM(2003
It should read 
WHERE SDO_FILTER( GEOM, MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003

If it is not just copy and paste error then it looks like MapServer is generating bad SQL

Thank you.

Yes I have a little advanced. I found the location where the file must be 
ttt.html record.

As against, the answer is empty and the message server is "X-FirePHP-Data" 
response header not found in request response. " I stayed in format text / 
html.

I tried to put a format model, but I have trouble positioning. How to use 
the default format?

Thank you for assistance tio

Subject: [mapserver-users] C# mapscript: create features programmatically
Message-ID: <52587.192.168.1.60.1227093211.squirrel@localhost.localdomain>

Ciao list.

Anyone knows how to add dynamically a feature in a layer, working in
cshap_mapscript?

I must to add programmatically this features, without adding them to the
layer source.

Following code don't works... i.e. the new feature is not showing
(map is a valid MapObject, shp a valid ShapeObject, "kriging" is a valid
layer name, type of layer and kind of shape is line)


            layerObj kl = map.getLayerByName("kriging");
            kl.addFeature(shp);
            imageObj imgMap = map.draw();
            string fname = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
            string imgpath = map.web.imagepath + @"\" + fname + ".jpg";
            if (File.Exists(imgpath)) File.Delete(imgpath);
            imgMap.save(imgpath, map);


many thanks for your help.

Ciao Attila,

the IMAGEURL cannot be 'c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/', it would be something like
'/tmp/ms_tmp/', a URL not a local path.

Ok, I've changed a couple of things in the mapfile and you need to add a
Couple of variables as well. I've added the code on lines 34 and 35, you can
Just leave that. On line 58 you need to add a port (you can find this by 
clicking on the properties of the db in postgis). On line 59, you just need 
to add the name of the unique identifier column from your table, possibly 
ogc_fid? I've also commented out the bottom 2 layers, its probably easier to 
concentrate on 1 layer at a time. Because you have referenced a blank html 
(ttt.html) you need to set the info_format in the getfeatureinfo url to 
text/plain or text/gml. This mapfile should be correct, but you can make 
sure I haven't made a typo by looking at the capabilities document. Let me 
know how it goes,

Cheers

Subject: [mapserver-users] Join to CSV
Message-ID: <s923ba75.040@co.benton.mn.us>

I am trying to join my parcel shapefile to tax information stored as a
.csv file.  I have follwed the instructions at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/join with no
success.

Here is the Layer object from the mapfile:

LAYER
	NAME 'Parcels'
	DATA './Parcels.shp'
	STATUS DEFAULT
	TYPE LINE
	JOIN
		NAME "TaxInfo"
		TABLE "./20081008.csv"
		FROM "TaxPIN"
		TO "PIN"
		TYPE ONE-TO-ONE
	END
	CLASS
		NAME 'Parcel Boundary'
		TYPE LINE
		STYLE
		     COLOR 3 3 3
		     OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
		     WIDTH 1
		END
	END
END

Here is the html identify template:

<tr BGCOLOR="969696">
<td colspan="2"><u><b>Parcel Information</b></u></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><em>Parcel ID:</em></td><td>[TaxPIN]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><em>Owner Name:</em></td><td>[TaxInfo_PRIM TAXP NAME]",
"[TaxInfo_PRIM TAXP NAME 2]</td>
</tr>

Here is what is an example of what is returned when I identify the
parcels:

Parcel Information 
Parcel ID: 040023800 
Owner Name: [TaxInfo_PRIM TAXP NAME]", "[TaxInfo_PRIM TAXP NAME 2] 

Using the tool does not cause any sort of an error.  I'm hoping that
there is something simple I am missing.  Any help would be much
appreciated.

Message-ID: <7BA6F57E003ADF4EA12DAA3043BB13D43B184A@geoexchange.DesLauriers.local>

So I kind of feel stupid at the moment...

 

I had one understanding of thread safety and now I think I have another

 

My first understanding was that if multiple users were accessing a site
programmed very basically (not with any type of "multi-threading" code)
but simply the fact that multiple users were making requests that they
could potentially bump into requests and not return the same result if
only one user were making requests.

 

Now, I think it means specifically programming for a "multi-threaded"
application so that you are using multiple code paths asynchronously in
a given request would not be recommended without placing code-locks for
various features.

 

Can someone please clarify for me what the thread-safety is in regards
to Mapserver and Mapscript C#, PHP and Java and perhaps clarify one
thing; If I am programming without implementing multiple threads in code
but plan to have multiple users accessing the site, will they bump into
any requests?

 

Sorry for the ignorance, and thank you..

I think you should also include the ogrinfo '-summary' output for both 
your shp and your csv (as shown on the web page you referred to), so 
people on this list can see all field names.  I'm guessing that your csv 
contains a "PRIM TAXP NAME 2" field right?  Maybe those spaces in the 
column-name are causing trouble...I might try to see what happens if you 
rename the column with a simpler name without spaces.

Depending on the platform you are using both statements can be true as
they are different cases of multi-threading.

In the case of mapserver the checklist is as follows:

If you are using mapserver as a CGI then thread safety is not an issue
for you because each request will be handled by a new process that
will die immedately after so basically there is no chance of 'bumping
into others' requests' as you call it.

Same if you're using python, because of a quirk in the python
interpreter called GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) which stops the whole
python interpreter when entering external code such as the C shared
library of mapcript.

If you are using fastcgi AND have compiled mapserver with thread
support also no need to worry, unless you use one of the unsafe
components listed in the thread safety FAQ on the mapserver web site.

If you are using Java/C#/PHP/Ruby AND have compiled mapserver with
thread support you don't have to worry that much actually because
mapserver will lock properly when entering the same thread-unsafe code
paths listed in the FAQ cited above.

So your question eventually boils down to: should I also place locks
in my C#/Java code?
In general I would say it is not (I don't in my java app) provided
that you don't share mapscript objects between requests: don't create
a mapObj at the beginning of the session and reuse it for all the
session. Create a new mapObj with every request instead.

HTH,
Umberto

            $ln[$i]->add($poi[$i]);  
            $shp[$i]->add($ln[$i]);
            $shp[$i]->set(index, $row[0]);

Your image link in http is a direct link to your hard drive.  I do not think your web server likes this.  The ms_tmp directory has to be readable by apache, and therefore, it must be in the apache htdocs path, or specified in the httpd.conf file to be readable.

Attila,
It is strange, because the IMAGEURL in mapfile is correct, but the html
generated from the script report <IMG
SRC="c:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/4923f091_c84_0.jpeg">, i.e. a local path and not a
url.
The correct tag should be something like <IMG
SRC="/tmp/ms_tmp/4923f091_c84_0.jpeg">

Are you sure the mapfile of the script is the same you are editing?

ciao .................pg

Hi all,

I have some PNG files with bounding box. I am willing to publish them using MapServer WMS. I use the vrt file to specify geolocation like this:

But the MapServer outputs a total black image if output format is png, and outputs a black-white image if output format is gif.  What should I do?

Thanks.

Dear Folks,
I am continually having issues with the LABELREQUIRES item in my MAP file. I
have tried to write several expressions and continue to get recursion
errors, even after following specific instruction:
http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer

LABELREQUIRES "![sampling1]"

Any thoughts?

Hi Again,
The MAP File is here. See line 94 which causes the recursion error and let
me know if you have a tip:

What version? Recursion errors will occur if two layers reference each other or if a layer
references itself. From your mapfile snippet that doesn't seem to be the case.

It's a pretty lightly used feature so it's possible there is a flaw in the code. If you use
just REQUIRES (so the whole layer would be off unless it passes the test) do you get
the same error?

Message-ID: <a37ffbf90811200530o712598b7k671ef4151a69b38e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I want to create a data file, in "GML", starting with a layer of type
"annotation" generated by "MapServer" as "WFS".

I've only been able to create the file "GML" using LAYER-> TYPE = POLYGON.
This does not serve me, because it includes all the elements of the layer. I
want a layer that contains only the items that "MapServer" decided that
should be labeled.

The goal is to use data from the labels in other programs. So, other GIS
formats can be fine.

Thanks for any advice.

Ciao Jos?.

You can get the WFS layer in a free desktop GIS, like QGis (qgis.org) via
a default plugin which must be activated, and then export in shapefile.

If you need GML use ogr2ogr; qgis also has a converter plugin, but I never
used - be careful to GML version...

Hope this help

ciao

hi,
yes this is the behavior that's used (with agg, but gd also): the
label text is split in individual characters, and each one is rendered
individually with a specific position and angle, and therefore the
joining between characters is lost (this isn't specific to the
outlining case, as can be seen on jackey's "no_outline" example).

Unfortunately, there's no simple fix, and even if so this would
require rewriting the entire angle follow code. This would require
that the text be rendered in one pass, following a smoothed curve that
fits the line geometry. AGG can sort of do this (see the trans_curve
examples in your agg source dir or on the website
http://antigrain.com/demo/index.html), but the characters are
deformed. It's an option that I have tested locally but gave up with
seeing the quality of the results.

does anyone have experience with pango and know if it could solve this problem ?

cheers,
thomas

Subject: [mapserver-users] UTF-8 + SDE + GetfeatureInfo
Message-ID: <BAY106-W33E2F0DBDC269D0B85FEEDED0C0@phx.gbl>


Hey everyone,

We're having a bit of a problem performing getfeatureinfo queries with mapserver.  The french characters are coming out of the database as ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8.  The database and servers are configured as UTF 8, the map files and the query templates too.  Actually text/plain also has problems so it's not the templates.  We're trying to encode everything as UTF 8 so me specificying ISO-8859-1 in the meta tag of the html query template doesn't work.
GetFeatureInfo results:

Layer 'SoilOrder'
  Feature 10894: 
    OBJECTID = '10894'
    SLC_SOIL_ORDER_V31_22_ID = '81600931'
    SOIL_ORDER_NAME_EN = 'Chernozemic'
    SOIL_ORDER_NAME_FR = 'Chernoz?mique' <- error is here in my browser.
    SOIL_ORDER_PCNT = '84'
    SHAPE = '<shape>'
Any idea if there are outstanding problems here with SDE and mapserver not playing nice with this?  We're beating our heads against the wall thinking about what config we could have missed.

Oh - labels with french are fine, and so are legends; it's only the getfeatureinfo queries that have troubles.

Cheers,

Chris Whitteker

The problem is that "WFS" works only for layer of type polygon, and
not for layer of type annotation. The need to use an annotation layer,
is because i wish to get labels generalized.

Through the use of "WMS" I've been able in QGIS to show the annotation
layer. But QGIS not allow me to select elements, so that I can not
export them.

Yes, I use ogr2ogr to convert the GML files to GMT format. But, until
now, i can not obtain the GML that i hope.

Hi,

Maybe is useful explain more precisely my goal.

The attached image is a PNG obtained by using shp2img. The layer
displayed is an ANNOTATION LAYER. The labels are generalized by
MapServer. I wish to get the labels displayed in this extent, in this
scale, with this degree of generalization, in a GIS format, like GML,
or ShapeFile. I wish to use these file in GMT, that no have
implemented labeling algorithm.

My attempts:

1. shp2img: i obtained PDF files, which can be integrated in the final
map using something like Inkscape.
2. WMS: only can obtain a raster image.
3. WFS: I have been able to generate GML files using an WFS request,of
type GetFeature. However, GetFeature work on all elements, without
caring for the widespread labeling. I do not want all the labels, only
those that have been generalized to a certain scale.

In the past, I used MapScript. If I remember correctly, I could do
this by using a script in PHP or Python. Correct?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

I guess that annotation layers are not supported for this use and you should somehow create a point type layer that acts like the annotation layer. There needs only be two colums in the schema, geometry and name.  I don't know it could be done, but have you tried just to change the layer type to point?

You are right. The server "WFS" does not support ANNOTATION layers.

I have not tried to change the type of geometry of the layer to point.

However, the geometry type of data is polygon, so I can easily convert
to centroids.

The test that I've done it, is to change the type of geometry of the
layer to the type polygon, instead of annotation. In this way, I've
moved closer to the goal. But the GML file that I have been able to
obtain, is the product of a "REQUEST = GetFeature". Because of this,
the result contains all elements, not only those items with
generalized labels by MapServer.

I think that some scripting can be used to read de labels cache, and
write the data in a convenient way. I still have not been able to
explore this alternative.

according to my little knowledge, php cannot store an instance of an
object in a session, only primitives variables like strings, integers,
floats and arrays (asp.net instead can).

for your app you must save the context (mapfile path, the extent, the
layers status etc.), and re-instance the map object at each postback.

And even if it was possible it is NOT recommended to reuse mapscript
objects across requests, see my previous post on the "Mapserver Thread

If I understood, you want to use mapserver as a label-generator, because
the algorithm used satisfy you, but IMHO there is no method to extract the
labels generated from mapserver, also using mapscript.

In your place, I would use directly a desktop GIS, whatever you want, to
generate labels directly from layer source.
Try UDig (udig.refractions.net) as free GIS, it has a non-collision
algorithm for objects labels.

Ciao Umberto,

excuse me, but your statement has put me in a state of anxiety :)

Currently I'm involved in an ASP.NET C# mapscript developement, and I use
extensively the method of saving mapscript object in session.
Naturally I tested the envirenmnet with a certain number of concurrent
users, and I don't get any strange issue, like accessing to an object of
another session.

Why do you say this is NOT recommended?

so, do you share objects (like a mapobj) between sessions (ie:
different requests use the same mapObj instance to perform map
drawing) without locking at application (c# in your case) level?
If the answer is yes you've just been lucky so far as this approach
will surely lead to errors.

I'm sorry, I can't provide technical arguments right now, but in my
experience (+3years with Java mapscript) this solution proved to be
the most stable.
YMMV.

Subject: [MAPSERVER-USERS] CLASSITEM and EXPRESSION issue in trunk?
Message-ID: <20622309.post@talk.nabble.com>


Hi!

I've compiled 5.3-dev from trunk yesterday and got some trouble with some
mapfiles that works well on 5.2. The problem is that the EXPRESSION
parameter in the CALSS object does not work with direct string comparison.
Her are some examples:

Does NOT work: (This is the original layer definition from the 5.2 mapfile)

LAYER
   ...
   CLASSITEM "maxhoyde"
   ...
   CLASS
      NAME "test"
      EXPRESSION "600"
      ...
    END
END


Using RegEx instead WORKS:

LAYER
   ...
   CLASSITEM "maxhoyde"
   ...
   CLASS
      NAME "test"
      EXPRESSION /600/
      ...
    END
END


Using logical expression WORKS:

LAYER
   ...
   #CLASSITEM "maxhoyde"
   ...
   CLASS
      NAME "test"
      EXPRESSION ([makshoyde] == 600)
      ...
    END
END

The data is stored in PostgreSQL (PostGIS), and the actual field type is
character(5). Anyone have a clue about what is causing this strange
behavior.

The PostGIS support underwent major changes recently so I'd suspect this
is specific

Hi Steve,

thanks for the quick response! I know about the PostGIS refactoring
activity, and that is one of the things that we wanted to test. For the
overall speed it looks great, but it can be some troublesome if old
expressions don't work. One of our mapfiles is almost 12000 lines (with
quite complex expressions), and I do not intend to change all the
expressions :-). Do you know if anyone has the opportunity to look at this
issue?

Regards,
P?l Kristensen

The problem is very likely SDE.  Can you get things to work with a  
simple shapefile?  Do you know what the SOIL_ORDER_NAME_FR  column  
type is defined as?

Chris,


When you attempt to start a session, you need to load the class definition first. For example

<?php 
require('myclass.php');
session_start();
?>

Hi,
I would like to have attributed of a layer, displayed according their area.
For example, I want to display a simple polygon layer, which have in
the attribute table the field "AREA" which is the field in meter sq.
I would like to display the layer in 3 different color schemes, like -
color a for AREA < 1000,  color b for AREA > 1000 && AREA < 5000, and
color c for AREA > 5000 .
>From map server tutorial I saw I can refer to string attribute, for example:
I used the files from:
http://biometry.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/tutorial/htdocs/example2.map&layer=states&zoom=0&mode=browse&root=/tutorial&program=/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe&map_web=template+example2-4.html

Here is what I am talking about...

   CLASSITEM 'FEATURE'

    CLASS

      NAME 'Lakes'

      EXPRESSION /(^B|^C|^L|^R)./

      STYLE

        COLOR 72 64 254

    CLASS

      NAME 'Rivers'

      EXPRESSION 'Stream'

      STYLE

        COLOR 136 128 255

      END

    END  # CLASS

    CLASS

      NAME 'Wetlands'

      EXPRESSION 'Swamp or Marsh'

      STYLE

        COLOR 195 252 255

        OUTLINECOLOR 195 252 255

        SYMBOL 'circle'

        SIZE 0

      END

    END  # CLASS

  END  # LAYER


But all my attempts to classify water bodies according to their area
did not succeed. Can anyone help me?

Thanks, Oz

Hi Jim-
Thanks for responding...

Actually, I can store non MapScript objects in the $_SESSION just fine,
but when I attempt to either:
1) add the MapScript object as a private member of my class
2) simply save the MapScript object to the $_SESSION and then reuse, I
get the error.

Have you managed to store MapScript objects in sessions?

Chris,

No I haven't saved a Mapscript object. Perhaps this is more a response 
to another post that said you could only access session variables, and 
not classes, from another page. However, you might try replacing

require('myclass.php');

with 

if(!extension_loaded('MapScript')){
	dl("php_mapscript.so");
}

There must be a way to persist a mapscript object, but I don't know enough of OO design to tell you the answer.

Jim

Ah, MapScript object persistence... the restless leg syndrome of  
MapServer. Though neither convenient nor pretty, the One True Way (TM)  
to persist MapScript objects is the mapfile format.  Every other  
approach will just cause hair loss, unexplained rashes, nausea, and  
memory leakage.

The UpdateFromString and save methods are the way to go.  Your target  
MapScript language has no problem persisting strings, and you don't  
have to worry about the mess of object lifetimes that might result  
from trying to light up a once dead mapObj.

I tried UDig. I like the labels. However, I have not found a way to
export the labels out of uDig (generalized to a certain scale). And
what I wish, finally, is to use the results of labeling in GMT.

interesting. I'm going to try this. I knew it existed, but I did not
know that PAL was ready to use.
I hope to be ready to use me too.

I downloaded libpal, and the file "COPYING" said it was "GPL".

If I can use PAL, I think that is a very good alternative.

Thanks Pietro

Subject: [mapserver-users] Confirmation of status of UTF8 support,
 and where transcoding to Latin-1 may be happening.
Message-ID: <49284AB9.9010407@flora.ca>


   I have a customer that is using MapServer, talking through ArcSDE to 
an Oracle database.

   When we do a GetFeatureInfo we notice that substitutions from the 
database have been transcoded from UTF8 (how the data is stored in the 
Oracle Database) to Latin-1 being output from MapServer (as viewed by 
the browser).  Other aspects of the page are UTF8 encoded, and the 
server is otherwise configured to set character encoding to UTF8.  The 
intention is to have everything be UTF8 from end-to-end (It is 
departmental standard).

   Legends and other such things are coming out correctly.

   When we connect directly to the ArcSDE server via the ArcGIS Desktop 
products the characters are displayed 'correctly', but not knowing these 
tools well I don't know if that means they are recognizing the Latin-1 
character set correctly and displaying that or recognizing the UTF8 
characters and displaying that.  We aren't using any characters that 
couldn't be correctly transcoded from UTF8 to Latin-1.  Either way, 
these tools are being told the correct character encoding and displaying 
correctly.


   We are looking for options of where to look next.  I'm not the person 
who compiled MapServer with the ArcSDE 9.2 SDK, but can easily confirm 
things with them if I knew what questions I should be asking.  Is there 
a quick way to confirm what character encoding is being output from 
ArcSDE so that we will know we need to be looking at settings there (IE: 
the NLS_LANG settings for SDE connecting to Oracle), or looking for 
something on the machine running Mapserver that is doing the transcoding.

Thank you for any help!

I searched Mapserver site for UpdateFromString and found only MS RFC 31: 
Loading MapServer Objects from Strings. I was able to use the save 
function and print out the file which did work. However, my 2 attempts 
failed.

$map->UpdateFromString('saved_map.txt');  got Call to undefined method 
ms_map_obj::UpdateFromString()

 and

$map2 = msLoadMapFromString('saved_map.txt'); got Call to undefined 
function msLoadMapFromString()

I am using mapserver 5.0.0

Chris,

Try providing the full path to the map file.  Something like

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/opt/maps/world.map&mode=browse&layers=all&mode=map 


Otherwise it will only work if your world.map happens to be in the currently
working directory of the mapserv process (I have no idea where that would
normally be).

Apologies in advance as total nube at this. The map exists in the postgesql db 
and the mapfile makes a call to that db to render it via mapserver processes. 
At least that's how I understand the references sited and followed. ????

The shapefile download was processed into a .sgl file and loaded into the 
spatially enabled db. The mapfile presented is supposed to make a call to 
that db. Perhaps Im missing something as I see no significant errors in the 
postgresql logs. The processes dont seem to be talking to each other. 

Many thanks for your comments however.

Hi,

First thing to do is to call "mapserv" cgi-bin program.  Then the program is searching for a "mapfile" that is given by "map" parameter in the request. And finalle the mapfile is interpreted for making the final map image.  Mapfile has all the instruction about where to find the data and what to do with it.

In your case mapserv program is found, but the error message tells that the second step fails and the mapfile "world.map" is not found. Either the request must be edited so that Apache finds it or the mapfile must be moved to the directory where Apache now tries to find it with the current request.  I suggest the first solution. As did Frank, even his example request may be nonsense with two different "mode" options.
> http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/opt/maps/world.map&mode=browse&layers=all&mode=map

Most secure way is to give to full absolute path in the file system. In Windows it is something like map=c:\ms4w\apps\map\world.map, but I don't know about Linux.

Apologies in advance as total nube at this. The map exists in the postgesql db 
and the mapfile makes a call to that db to render it via mapserver processes. 
At least that's how I understand the references sited and followed. ????

The shapefile download was processed into a .sgl file and loaded into the 
spatially enabled db. The mapfile presented is supposed to make a call to 
that db. Perhaps Im missing something as I see no significant errors in the 
postgresql logs. The processes dont seem to be talking to each other. 

Many thanks for your comments however.

Hi Chris,
what you see is a typical mapserver error.

The cgi is not able to load it's mapdefinitions from the (map)file 
'world.map' (it's doesn't even know yet that it has to load something 
from postgis :-) ).

Either the user that is running your apache/cgi's is not able to read 
tha world.map which as you do  should sit next to the cgi: existence? 
permissions?
Another option is to give the full path to mapserver:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/world.map&request=getcapabilities&service=wms
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/world.map&mode=browse&layers=all&mode=map

But it sounds that the map-file is just not there/readable for mapserv?

You can also check your mapfile (so also your postgresgl connection) 
using the shp2img command line utility:

shp2img -m world.map -o /home/yourname/world.png

(given your layer has 'status default') this should give you a map also.

Richard Duivenvoorde

Hi Chris,

in mapserv-lingua a 'map-file' is a init-file for the mapserv-executable 
that is running as a cgi in you webserver (apache).

in the instructions there is a link to a mapfile stub:
http://www.duif.net/postgis/world.map
(please change username/password in it for the postgresql connection)
It's this mapfile that should sit next to the cgi and from which the cgi 
gets the information where to find data to paint your map-image.
And it's that mapfile that is not next to your cgi apparently.

shp2img is just a shortcut/another way to instruct mapserv to generate 
an image based on a map(definition)file.

be sure that you mapfile is readable for the user that is running your 
webserver (which by the way should not be root). The user is probably 
www-data or somethink like that. Use
ps -ef
for example to find out WHO is running /usr/bin/apache

have a dive into this one:
http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/cgi
and
http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml

hope this helps.

Richard Duivenvoorde
ps sending this to the list also so other newbies benefit from your 
questions also.

Dear List,
I would like to open a little debate about the objects persistence in a
session.

I found objects persistence very useful and, in my little experience, I
get no problems like sharing objects across different sessions or data
loss.
In fact I entrust the thread safety systems of the environment, and I
don't lock threads at application level.

Methods to make persistent mapscripts objects in sessions vary according
to the web engine used. I know only php and ASP.NET environments: php can
only store primitives as strings, floats, integers; ASP.NET can instead
store instanciated objects, like mapscript objects.
In fact, php don't store the variables in memory but write a session file
to re-read on the next postback, so the app must to re-istanciate the
object according to a saved set of parameters, like extent-coordinates,
layers status ...

So I'm a bit amazed (read: worried) reading recent posts like:

> And even if it was possible it is NOT recommended to reuse mapscript
> objects across requests...

> Ah, MapScript object persistence... the restless leg syndrome of

Why you don't recommend this methods? can you pls share your experience,
before my hairs fall :) ?

Message-ID: <10920474.2899.1227521199557.JavaMail.adm-moff@moffice5.nsc.no>

Hi

Have a PostGIS dataset where the data is defined as LAT/LON (EPSG:4326).

We have made a mapserver WFS layer based on this dataset, and populated it in EPSG:32633.

We are able to do regular BBOX Filter on this theme, but when we try to do an Intersect filter, Mapserver only returns WFS null.

If we make a view on the dataset, transforming the data to EPSG:32633 everything works fine.

Is there a problem using WFS Filter (e.g. Intersect) in Mapserver when the source data is in one projection, and the mapfile another?

E.g. in our case where the source data is in EPSG:4326, and the mapfile is in EPSG:32633?


Regular GetFeature returns null
http://myserver/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=getfeature&MAXFEATURES=100&TYPENAME=layer_1

Regular BBOX works fine

Hi folks,

I display several boundingboxes on a map from a PostgreSQL database.
There is a big boundingbox which contains several
smaller boundingboxes.

The User can click on each boundingbox to retrieve further information
of the boundingbox.

The Problem now is that the user also retrieve the information
of the big boundingbox and not only this of the small ones.

Maybe someone can help me solving this problem?

Thanks a lot,

It seems that the updateFromString() methods were never implemented in 
PHP MapScript. We'll try to work on that soon and get them in 5.4. Here 
is the related ticket:
   http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2298

Note that there is no updateFromString() on the mapObj, only on the 
individual object classes that compose a map (layerObj, classObj, etc.). 
To instantiate a map from a saved file, you can pass the path to the 
saved mapfile the mapObj constructor itself.

Actually, here is a list of the classes that implement 
updateFromString(), from a quick grep of the SWIG MapScript code:

class.i:    int updateFromString(char *snippet)
label.i:  int updateFromString(char *snippet)
layer.i:    int updateFromString(char *snippet)
legend.i:  int updateFromString(char *snippet)
querymap.i:  int updateFromString(char *snippet)
referencemap.i:  int updateFromString(char *snippet)
scalebar.i:  int updateFromString(char *snippet)
style.i:    int updateFromString(char *snippet)
web.i:    int updateFromString(char *snippet)

The problem, it seems, is with Mapserver's UTF-8-type of support. To
clarify, UTF-8 is supported just fine in Mapserver, but if it is a
UTF-typeof encoding, then it tried to convert to UTF-8 which doesn't
seem to work well.

The data is in latin1 but is Unicode encoded, so that you achieve the
same thing in most environments and just about every program can
interpret this. Mapserver does have a little trouble with this. The
thing is, though, that it isn't so much ArcSDE as it is MSSQL, I think.
Could be wrong on that part but to make a long story short, I think
Mapserver is the component that converts the unicoded encoded latin1
into something that doesn't work. It's a standard-based process, I
think, so I doubt anything will change on the SDE half of it for the
seeming future. 

Not finger-pointing, I'm just expressing my interpretation of the
situation.

You can dump your ArcSDE config to a file and disable UNICODE_ENCODING
(I think that's the name of the field) and then reimport the file into
SDE and this will mean the collation and encoding will remain latin1 in
your case, but you will need to re-import all of your SDE data for the
change to take affect. This proved to be unsatisfactory for us and we
decided to take a 'wait-and-see' approach.

An idea . . .

Sort the database return by the area of the BBOX, with smallest area 
first, the first row returned with be the smallest, reverse the sort for 
the largest BBOX.

If you are using a Imagemap in the client, the sorting still matter, 
since you can effectively stack the output of the imagemap in the same 
way.  The first item in the imagemap stacking that satisfies the browser 
will be read and displayed.

The problem is most definitely MapServer's, not ArcSDE's.  If I  
suggested otherwise, I was wrong.

It supports UTF8 for *rendering* with GD and iconv.  I don't think  
MapServer internally supports UTF8 for string comparisons (ie,  
FILTERs, queries, etc), which is why you're seeing problems doing a  
GetFeatureInfo.

Yes, I was asking if this was an NSTRING column or a STRING column.   
The MapServer ArcSDE code makes an attempt to transcode the data if it  
is an nstring column, but it is highly likely this is broken.  I  
didn't have very extensive data to test this with, and all I looked to  
ensure was that a few pictures looked right.  The problem might be as  
simple as the function msConvertWideStringToUTF8 being broken.  Here's  
where MapServer tries to convert it: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/trunk/mapserver/mapsde.c#L750

The reason that this is such a problem is that MapServer doesn't  
really have its unicode/wide character strategy well defined. ArcSDE  
forces the issue on us now because by default they're using nstring  
columns for loading data by default, so the ArcSDE users are on the  
front lines of this, but I think it will be more of a problem as time  
marches on.  Questions the MapServer devs need to answer are:

- how are strings to be internally represented in MapServer (lots of  
things to balance by answering this question)?
- who is responsible for transforming the data?  The driver for both  
the in and out?  Have a smarter string object that carries its own  
encoding around?
- Unicode is a conspiracy :)

Sorry I'm not much help,

Howard

Message-ID: <72c962640811250255l43ced911n836681121fbefd2e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
I have a polygon-layer from a postgis-table:

LAYER
  NAME "polylayer"
  TYPE polygon
  STATUS on
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "user=postgres password=mypass dbname=mydb host=localhost
port=5432"
  DATA "the_geom from mytable using unique gid"
  TEMPLATE "template/query.html"
     CLASS
        NAME "Polylayer"
		STYLE		
		COLOR 0 100 100	
	        OUTLINECOLOR 0 50 50
		WIDTH 2
		END
     END  # CLASS
END

I want to add a point-layer in my mapfile with the centroid of the
polygonlayer, this SQL works:
SELECT x(ST_Centroid(the_geom)) AS xvar, y(ST_Centroid(the_geom)) AS
yvar FROM  mytable

My Point-Layer:

LAYER
  NAME "pointlayer"
  TYPE point
  STATUS on
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "user=postgres password=mypass dbname=mydb host=localhost
port=5432"
  DATA "?????????????????????????????????????????????"
  TEMPLATE "template/query.html"
    CLASS
     NAME "Pointlayer"
        COLOR 255 0 0
        SYMBOL 'circle'
	    SIZE 10
     END  # CLASS
END

My Question: How can I use my SQL in Mapserver?

Thanks
Jochen

Subject: [mapserver-users] SQL for Point-Centroid
Message-ID: <28756058.17906.1227612048360.JavaMail.adm-moff@moffice9.nsc.no>

Hi...

What you have to do is make shure that your SQL returns a valid geometry..

Your SQL returns 2 colummns containing x and y coordinate...

Try something like this:

the_geom FROM (SELECT gid, GeometryFromText('POINT(' || x(Centroid(the_geom)) || ' ' || y(Centroid(the_geom)) || ')', 32633) AS the_geom FROM mytable) AS mytable USING UNIQUE GID

Where , 32633 = the EPSG code (coordinate system)

Sture



Hi,
I have a polygon-layer from a postgis-table:

LAYER
  NAME "polylayer"
  TYPE polygon
  STATUS on
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "user=postgres password=mypass dbname=mydb host=localhost port=5432"
  DATA "the_geom from mytable using unique gid"
  TEMPLATE "template/query.html"
     CLASS
        NAME "Polylayer"
		STYLE		
		COLOR 0 100 100	
	        OUTLINECOLOR 0 50 50
		WIDTH 2
		END
     END  # CLASS
END

I want to add a point-layer in my mapfile with the centroid of the polygonlayer, this SQL works:
SELECT x(ST_Centroid(the_geom)) AS xvar, y(ST_Centroid(the_geom)) AS yvar FROM  mytable

My Point-Layer:

LAYER
  NAME "pointlayer"
  TYPE point
  STATUS on
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  CONNECTION "user=postgres password=mypass dbname=mydb host=localhost port=5432"
  DATA "?????????????????????????????????????????????"
  TEMPLATE "template/query.html"
    CLASS
     NAME "Pointlayer"
        COLOR 255 0 0
        SYMBOL 'circle'
	    SIZE 10
     END  # CLASS
END

My Question: How can I use my SQL in Mapserver?

Thanks
Jochen

Hi Steve!

We did an interesting discovery yesterday when we compiled the 8002 revision
of the MapServer code. The Expression error were still present, but revision
8002 was the last one before the rewritten PostGIS code was submitted. When
we then tried to compile the 5.2 stable, everything worked as expected. The
error can't then be linked to the new PostGIS support, but must be caused by
some other enhancements posted after 5.2.

Regards,
P?l Kristensen

Have you tried mode=legend calls? How about setting "TRANSPARENT TRUE" in the LEGEND object?

Steve

I have a problem that mapserver legend is never transparent even when using php-mapscript or querying WMS layer.
Tested at few of mapserver 5.x.x versions.

I have TRANSPARENT ON set in OUTPUTFORMAT.

Is this only my case ? Thanks.

I would like to have attributed of a layer, displayed according their area.
For example, I want to display a simple polygon layer, which have in
the attribute table the field "AREA" which is the field in meter sq.
I would like to display the layer in 3 different color schemes, like -
color a for AREA < 1000,  color b for AREA > 1000 && AREA < 5000, and
color c for AREA > 5000 .

I haven't been able to find anything on this, so I'm hoping someone will
have a suggestion or more information. I'd hoped to have a template call
a php file rather than an html file on a query. It does bring up the
file. Any regular html in the file loads okay, and javascript will run
all right, but php code in the file doesn't do anything; even trivial
php such as 'echo "Hi";'. The same php runs fine under other
circumstances. Does it have anything to do with the way mapserve's query
handles loading the html?

William,

You could probably do something like:

layerObj layer = map.getLayerByName("POINTLAYER");
      layerObj layer2 = map.getLayerByName("OTHERLAYER");
      layer.queryByPoint(map, point, mapscript.MS_SINGLE, 0);
      resultCacheObj results = layer.getResults()
      if (results != null && results.numresults > 0)
      {
         layer.open();
         resultCacheMemberObj res = results.getResult(0);
         shapeObj shape = layer.getFeature(res.shapeindex, res.tileindex);
         if (shape!= null)
         {
            layer2.queryByShape(shape.buffer(width));
            resultCacheObj results2 = layer2.getResults()
            if (results2 != null && results2.numresults > 0)
            {
               layer2.open();
           for (int i=0; i < results2.numresults; i++)
           {
                  resultCacheMemberObj res2 = results2.getResult(j);
                  shapeObj shape2 = layer2.getFeature(res2.shapeindex,
res2.tileindex);
                  // do something with shape2
               }
               layer2.close();
            }

Message-ID: <29237876E2F56546975A098DC25F3D4A030AA211@officeho2.bom.gov.au>

Hi,
 
I'm hoping someone can help, I've been trying to get Perl mapscript to
work using a couple of examples from the "MapScript wrappers for WxS
Services" page http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wxs_mapscript
 
Using python mapscript it works, when I run it on the command line I get
xml output, however if I try doing the same using perl mapscript I get
no xml output on the command line, I get errors telling me that I cannot
set the SERVICE, VERSION or REQUEST parameters.  I've included the
python and perl scripts and their respective map files below.  If I  try
using $req->loadParams() in the script, and pass the same parameters as
part of the query string, then do a wget I get a zero length file.
 
Am I doing something wrong?  Or is there a bug in perl mapscript?
 
Cheers - Justyna.
 
===========================================
#!/usr/bin/python
 
import mapscript
 
req = mapscript.OWSRequest()
req.setParameter( 'SERVICE', 'WMS' )
req.setParameter( 'VERSION', '1.1.0' )
req.setParameter( 'REQUEST', 'GetCapabilities' )
 
map = mapscript.mapObj( 'test.map' )
map.OWSDispatch( req )

      NAME "Coast "
    END
  END
END
===========================================
 
I get the following errors using perl mapscript:
cannot set wms parameter  at ./test3.pl line 6.
cannot set version parameter  at ./test3.pl line 7.
cannot set request parameter  at ./test3.pl line 8.

Hello all,

I'm trying to use a generated query map (itemnquery) and insert it back
into my main MS interface foe further processing, e.g zoom/pan/query...
My map is generated with &mapext=shapes

I'm making an Ajax call to MS, and returning a pointer to the generated
querymap, and updating my map.

This part works...

Problem is that when I then go to zom/pan/query, the results are not what
are expected, e.g my form still has the "before query" instance/variables
and takes off from there, meaning it does not for instance zoom to the
iamge displayed

would appreciate some help,

Hello Nick. I was stumped by the same thing for a time. I solved it by running the query twice. It feels kludgy, but it works--I'll clean it up later. The first time through is an itemnquery, which does an AJAX call to a template. That returns a set of JSON variables from the template (all I need are the new map extents). These are then stored in the mapserve object extents, following which I rebuild the query as an itemnquerymap. This produces the map of the same query with the qstring items highlighted. I can then pan, zoom, etc. from there. Here's the code I used in the main file. Much of it is shamelessly stolen from better coders than I. The JSON setup in the template is pretty straightforward. I've put it below the javascript. Note that the routines that build the URLs use different mapfiles. One is tailored just for JSON, while the other handles regular queries.

--Jim Haug

// javascript code to do itemnsearch and itemnsearchmap.

// we will be doing searches using ajax/json to provide data. function item_search(),
// which is called from form 'searchform' in the document,
// will set up an itemquery url to send to the server. It will then call
// function getData(url), which will make an ajax call using the itemquery url.
// Data will be returned from the template in json format, which will allow
// function onResponse() to parse it to variables.

  function item_search() {
    var query_url = "";

Hi,

can you please stop cross-posting e-mails, when this is one is clearly
intended for the users list. Your chance of getting an answer is actually

Thanks.

Hi,

I suppose that could maybe be a stupid question, but: is there any 
function in PHP/Mapscript for geometry resizing/scaling? Let's say I would 
like to implement a functionality that could resize a polygon shape after 
user inputs some parametar that somehow defines this scaling (by formula)

If I can see, there is ST_Scale function in PostGIS but nothing possible 
with Mapscript?

regards, dejan

Hi Venkat.

I found this tutorial very useful:

http://www.paolocorti.net/public/wordpress/index.php/2006/09/20/mapserver-tutorial-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 found a formula RGB2grayscale = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B and would like to apply this on a class section in order to use the STYLE-parameter for serving a raster layer colored or generic grayscaled. Due to processing instructions work on layer level only, they do not help in this case. I'm looking for a solution like this:

  CLASS
    CLASSGROUP 'grayscale'
    STYLE
      COLOR [grayscale] [grayscale] [grayscale]
    END
  END

  CLASS
    CLASSGROUP 'color'
    STYLE
      COLOR [red] [green] [blue]
    END
