[mapserver-users] RE: Documentation for serving large raster images using tile cache.

[Roger André]

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.
