[mapserver-users] float raster

[Burgholzer,Robert]

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.

Subject: [mapserver-users] float raster

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.

ciao
