[mapserver-users] problem with raster data..

[Robert Sanson]

Hi Melvin
 
Sure - create a TILEINDEX. gdal has a utility called gdaltindex to create it. This creates a Shapefile of the extents of each raster. You specify the name of this Shapefile in your Map file eg.
 
 LAYER
  NAME nz250ktm
  GROUP "Toposcans"
  TYPE RASTER
  STATUS ON
  TILEINDEX ../data/nztm/250k_index
  TILEITEM Location
  MAXSCALE 300000
  MINSCALE 75000
 
  METADATA
   "ows_title"    "NZ 1:250k scale NZTM"
   "ows_abstract"    "This layer came from scans of the LINZ NZMS262 series maps in NZ Map Grid projection re-projected to NZTM"
   "ows_keywordlist"    "LINZ,TOPO"
   "wms_opaque"    "1"
   "wms_group_title" "Toposcans"
   #"wms_group_abstract" "Topo layers"
   "wms_resx" "25"
   "wms_resy" "25"
   "ows_extent" "1073500 4734000 2102100 6224500"
   END
 END
 
Cheers,

hi all,

right now i have 50 .TIF files (a whole map of my region) my question is, 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

if not, then how do i merge all the TIF files into a single TIF? because when i load them all together in ArcMap it forms a whole map.

for the information, i'm still a newbie...so i still need alot of advices from the experts.

thanks for your help,
Melvin
