[mapserver-users] problem with raster data..

[Christy Nieman]

Hi Melvin,

Using a tool such as gdaltindex (see http://www.gdal.org/gdaltindex.html 
and http://mapserver.org/optimization/tileindex.html#tileindex) you can 
create a shapefile tile index that will give MapServer the information 
it needs to use the required rasters for the current map extent.  In the 
shapefile there will be one feature that is the bounding box of each 
raster file, and an attribute that contains the path to the raster that 
each feature represents.
