[mapserver-users] problem with raster data..

[MeLv1n wAuRaN]

Ok from the example: " gdaltindex doq_index.shp doq/*.tif "  how do i
include the different tif files? 

for example there are 3 .tif : 1. sample_1.tif  
                               2. sample_2.tif
                               3. sample_3.tif

location: c:\ms4w\data\raster\

how will the syntax look like when i create an index name sample_index?

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.

is it possible for mapserver to load 50 .TIF files all together as a basemap?
because from the tutorial i read, the samples only load 1 raster file..so,
i'm wondering if it's possible to load all the 50 TIF files to the same
.MAP

when i load them all together in ArcMap it forms a whole map.
