Thanks, but I'm not that far.

I've just compiled mapserv
After that I call the next command's:

$ ./shp2img -m ../mapserver-utils-read-only/osm.map -o osm.png
loadOutputFormat(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT clause references
driver AGG/PNG, but this driver isn't configured. <br>

My configure command gave me the next result:

Thank you very much. I am afraid I am not allowed to upload any data ( the map would  be fine , but without the data I think it'll be useless).
   Anyway, I made the metatile larger (from 5x5 to 6x6) and now the map looks acceptable (some minimal duplication still persists, though.)
    Thanks a lot again.

Asunto: Re: [mapserver-users] LABEL_NO_CLIP seems not working inmapserver 5.4.1

Hi Rodriguez: I did a couple of quick tests and it seems like the directive is
working as intended, at least with some government unit boundary data. Any
chance you could put together a small test case? Perhaps converting some
data to shapefile and whipping up a simple mapfile that shows the problem.

Are others experiencing the same issues?

Hi everyone,
              We have just upgraded from mapserver 5.2.0 to 5.4.1
Our application use OpenLayers, Tilecache with metatiles on, and
postgis.
The label positioning in polygons has improved a lot but now we are
experiencing  label duplication on metatile boundaries.

The layer with the issues is parcelas. We are using
labelcache_map_edge_buffer and LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON .

Has anyone an idea why  this is happening? The labels length varies from
2 to 4 characters maximum .


A fragment of our map is the following

Hi Steve,

I tested GetFeatureInfo directly with the folowing sentence:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/prueba_grid?REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&VERSION=1.1.0&SERVICE=WMS&QUERY_LAYERS=mapa_apicola&FEATURE_COUNT=1&X=521&Y=426&SRS=EPSG:25830&BBOX=462204.1344,4460380.45879,463515.19339,4461472.57092&WIDTH=1000&HEIGHT=833&LAYERS=mapa_apicola&STYLES=default&FORMAT=image/jpeg

and the response is the same: GetFeatureInfo results:  Search returned no
results.

TIFF file has an attribute table. I made a shot:

http://n2.nabble.com/file/n3188765/tiff.jpg 


That?s the layer code; maybe could be useful to guess the problem:

Subject: [mapserver-users] GeoJSON output from MapServer
Message-ID: <OF425313EF.2215E677-ONC12575E6.004595DF-C12575E6.00460800@pula.hr>

Hi,

Is it possible to use GeoJSON template for getting GeoJSON output from 
MapServer? I have tried using outputformat as described in:

http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-36.html and
http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-56.html

Is it supported at all? I have a project where I need a GeoJSON output. 
This project originally uses GeoServer whcih has a plugin for this. Is 
this possible with MapServer? I am using MapServer 5.4.1

thanks very much

regards, dejan

Message-ID: <web-2474238@be1.uni-bonn.de>

Hi everybody,

does anybody know, how I can integrate SLD-Files with the 
UMN Mapserver?
According to the Mapserver documentation, this can be done 
by adding wms_sld_url in the Metadta-Part within the 
Layer-Description in the Mapfile and pointing to a remote 
SLD File.
I have done all this, but the layer ist stylied by the 
styling-information contained in the mapfile and not by 
the SLD-File (like it sholuld be.

Can anybody give me a hint, how i can embedd SLD Files 
with Mapserver?

Best regards, Sebastian!

Hey Steve,
           I found what the problem was. It was a silly mistake I made.
	     Some time ago the labels were separated from the polygon in another layer ( the labelling was no good so we provided the centroids to draw the labels) Since they were points ,in that case partials=False was fine.
           I changed partials to true and that solved my problem. I hope this comment can help someone if they face the same problem I do.
 To sum up 
     I use "labelcache_map_edge_buffer" "-10"  at map level
	       PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON"     at layer level
            Partials=true with labels
 Thanks and regards.

Hi Rodriguez: I did a couple of quick tests and it seems like the directive is
working as intended, at least with some government unit boundary data. Any
chance you could put together a small test case? Perhaps converting some
data to shapefile and whipping up a simple mapfile that shows the problem.

Are others experiencing the same issues?

Hi everyone,
              We have just upgraded from mapserver 5.2.0 to 5.4.1
Our application use OpenLayers, Tilecache with metatiles on, and
postgis.
The label positioning in polygons has improved a lot but now we are
experiencing  label duplication on metatile boundaries.

The layer with the issues is parcelas. We are using
labelcache_map_edge_buffer and LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON .

Has anyone an idea why  this is happening? The labels length varies from
2 to 4 characters maximum .


A fragment of our map is the following 


WEB
    	#	TEMPLATE "set in index.html"
    	#	MINscale 1000
    		MAXscaleDENOM 1550000

Depends on how you need to access it. You certainly can create a template that will output GeoJSON. However,
at the moment you can only access that output though calls to the CGI and (probably) MapScript. WMS and WFS
do not recognize the template output format although there are plans to do so in the upcoming release.

Let me know if I can help further...

Hi Asif,

I don't know of any specific applications or methods to stress test
MapServer.  However, I would think that you could use some web-based tools
such as Selenium (possibly) to exercise a web-based setup, or write a
test-script which does the same.  Sean Gillies has an excellent set of unit
tests written to exercise Python Mapscript.  You can view them here -
http://kentuckykarst.org/mapserver/mapscript/python/tests/cases/.  It might
be possible to adapt some of these to suit your needs, but I would think
that a utility which exercises your installation in the same way a user does
would be better.

There is a good, generic description of how to approach load testing of web
applications here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb924374.aspx.

Best of luck,

Roger

Subject: [mapserver-users] mapscript perl  fastcgi
Message-ID: <4A4BA1CB.8080705@squeakycode.net>

Hi All,

I have linux/apache/mapscript/perl/cgi working ok, but wanted to try fastcgi to speed it up.

This is a wms server, and under fastcgi it seems to work, but all the output is sent to stderr, not stdout.

I dont need to do any buffering or anything after the request, so I am not using msIO_installStdoutToBuffer.

OWSDispatch returns a zero (MS_SUCCESS), but there is no output.  If I look in /var/log/httpd/error_log however, there is lots and lots of binary'ish crap.

The script:

#!/usr/bin/perl                                                                        

use strict;
use mapscript;
use FCGI;     

my $request = FCGI::Request();

my $map = new mapscript::mapObj( "/var/www/maps/hamilton.map" )
        or die 'cant load hamilton.map';


while($request->Accept() >= 0)
{
        my $req = new mapscript::OWSRequest();
        my $x = $req->loadParams();
        print STDERR "loadParams: $x\n";

        $x = $map->OWSDispatch( $req );
        print STDERR "OWSDispatch: $x\n";

        my $errObj = new mapscript::errorObj();
        while ($errObj) {
                print STDERR "ERROR: $errObj->{code}:$errObj->{message}:$errObj->{routine} \n";
                $errObj = $errObj->next();
        }
}


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Andy

I believe the include closing problems have long since been resolve. I'm using
22 layer includes in one app with no worries via the CGI. You can always keep
a master mapfile that uses includes and then write a simple script to open that
mapfile and save a production version with all the includes expanded.

Subject: [mapserver-users] GeoJSON output from MapServer
In-Reply-To: <4A4B2E35.5157.008F.0@dnr.state.mn.us>
Message-ID: <OF7CBBDF61.6D65DA5A-ONC12575E6.006968CA-C12575E6.006EECDD@pula.hr>

Steve,

Here are more details, I am sure you'll have some further suggestions:

There is a project called GeoReport, part of GeoBI suite, that integrates 
the data coming from Business Intelligence processes (Pentaho BI) with 
their cartographic representation. Since I am pretty much involved in both 
areas (WebGIS, BI), this seems very interesting to me, although I first 
saw it yesterday :-(

Here are the main informations about GeoReport: 
http://www.geobi.org/2009/01/georeport-module.html

As I can see, basically, there is a MapOL module that runs BI process in 
order to get resultset, join it with geometries coming from GeoServer 
(WFS) and returns GeoJSON data to WebGIS client (MapFish and OpenLayers + 
Geostat widgets) which displays it on the map.

I have been in contact with Fabio (he is "responsible" for all this). 
Based on what he said, I understood (maybe wrongly) that WFS server needs 
to return GeoJSON, and GeoServer can do it. Now, as I write this to you, 
it seems like MapOL is responsible for creating GeoJSON data ?!

Anyway, I am new to this almost as you and if you can take a look on above 
link, I would appreciate it very much. I "only" want to use MapServer 
instead of GeoServer. If I can't do it, then I'll rather do nothing as I 
have no intentions to use anything but MapServer :-)

thanks very much

regards, dejan

You are right David ,thanks, I realized the culprit was having set partials=false as I told  Steve in a previous e-mail.

Rodriguez,

I can report having a similar problem, but have noticed that seeems to 
be related to use of some of the other settings in the LABEL section. I 
don't recall the details exactly unfortunately, but if you are trying to 
reproduce a test case then try different values of MINDISTANCE and 
POSITION in particular (including AUTO and not present). I know 
something I did at some point was causing LABEL_NO_CLIP to not function, 
but I don't recall what.

Regards,
David

Hello,
sorry ...but i read also this mailing list :-)

Well,  our project wants to be indipendent from web application used to
transfer GeoJson because GeoBI is compliant to the OGC standards such as
WFS, WMS, SLD, etc...

Now, about this first implementation of GeoReport we used GeoServer because
it gives the possibilitiy to use in append to the WFS HTTP request
"outputformat=geojson" instead of GML.

Anyway MapOl makes a WFS request and reads the output by using
mapfish-geojson-lib...so there are 3 ways to use MapServer to do the same:

   1. use a GeoJSON template for WFS output
   2. use a GeoJSON template for mapserver CGI output
   3. GeoReport must do the conversion from WFS-GML to GeoJSON

At the moment we have choosen GeoServer but this is not exclusive respect
other WFS service implementations!
Anyway I think you can use at the moment both MapServer and GeoServer: you
must serve with GeoServer only the LAYER on which you want to do BI analysis
(so...one, two layers...not all cartographic levels)...while you can display
your layers by using MapFish Client and OpenLayers as WMS, WFS or MapServer
Layers!

PS:  what kind of geometries you want to analyze (by using GeoJSON)? POINTS,
POLYGONS....MULTIGEOMETRIES?

Thank you very much!

Fabio, 

Glad to here you are here too :-)

I can certainly use both GeoServer and MapServer but this is not something 
I would like at the end. Since I am still investigating all this, I am not 
in such a hurry to get it working with my data ASAP. So, I would rather go 
with one of your Mapserver solutions.

My first question, to be sure - so MapOl reads/gets the GeoJSON data from 
Geoserver WFS and outputs GeoJSON data to WebClient? If I understand Steve 
correctly, there is no way currently to get GeoJSON output from MapServer 
WFS, only with CGI? So we come to your solution 2.

I have tried getting GeoJSON outuput from MapServer using CGI, but I 
didn't succeed. There is little written about this. I have tried setting 
something like:

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME 'geojson'
  DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'
  MIMETYPE 'application/json; subtype=geojson'
  FORMATOPTION 'FILE=myTemplate.js'
END

but I got errors (using the newest MS4W beta with MapServer 5.4.1)?

Regarding my geometries - I am planning to analyze some cadastral data 
(that's why I was so interested in your "italian" example). This will be 
points and polygons mostly. We have our cadastral data vectorized but 
still in dwg/multyline. We can identfy parcels as points with parcel IDs, 
but in near future we'll make polygons for all of them.

regards, dejan

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem with WFS Filter
Message-ID: <F8FDFB20658C4FA097D0035F7F05DA0E@eapc>

Hi,

i want to filter set a filter in a wfs request:
I want to get all polygons, where ("von_pegel" >= 70 or "bis_pegel" < 70) and datumzeit = 2009-07-09 12:00:00.
I tried it with the request:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/webgis/mapfile_wfs.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=flood&Filter<Filter><And><Or><PropertyIsGreaterThanOrEqualTo><PropertyName>von_pegel</PropertyName><Literal>70</Literal></PropertyIsGreaterThanOrEqualTo><PropertyIsLessThan><PropertyName>bis_pegel</PropertyName><Literal>70</Literal></PropertyIsLessThan></Or><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>datumzeit</PropertyName><Literal>2009-07-09%2012:00:00</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></And></Filter>

and with this request (is the same request,without %20 in date)

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/webgis/mapfile_wfs.map&SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.0.0&REQUEST=GetFeature&TYPENAME=flood&Filter<Filter><And><Or><PropertyIsGreaterThanOrEqualTo><PropertyName>von_pegel</PropertyName><Literal>70</Literal></PropertyIsGreaterThanOrEqualTo><PropertyIsLessThan><PropertyName>bis_pegel</PropertyName><Literal>70</Literal></PropertyIsLessThan></Or><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>datumzeit</PropertyName><Literal>2009-07-09 12:00:00</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></And></Filter>

Both requests response me only all polygons.

Example: 
(1)        0 - 50
(2)        50 - 100
(3)        100 - 150
(4)        150 - 200

Setting the filter should response only (2), (3) and (4)
Plz, can anyone tell me, what is wrong in my filter.

It is not so difficult...just 2, 3 minutes to load your layer in 
GeoServer ;-)

If you want to use the second solution you must create the HTTP string 
to get GeoJSON from CGI-MapServer and than you must change MapOl request 
to receive data and read them.
If you want send me the URL and I'll send you the new MapOl as soon as 
possbile!

Thanks Fabio,

As I said in my last post, I can't get GeoJSON output using this 
outputformat:

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME 'geojson'
  DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'
  MIMETYPE 'application/json; subtype=geojson'
  FORMATOPTION 'FILE=myTemplate.js'
END

:-(

hi

just an idea: do not use the TAB extension but the raster extension for
feeding gdaltindex (i.e. tif).

Hi All

I am doing a GetFeatureInfo Through Openlayers. All seems to be working fine
(i.e. template comes up) except it is not returning any values. What happens
is that template is returned but the values are not populated - i.e Compt
No: [Compt_No] instead of Compt_no: A03 etc

Here is my URL

It may be the case that MapServer isn't recognizing the variables
because they are in the wrong case.  I believe that when the columns
come from a shapefile, the column names are all upper case.  Try
changing all of the substitution vars in your template to upper case.

Message-ID: <8EA33237DDDB244E860ADDE976124AE50202CBD7@ONOTTAXMS2.AGR.GC.CA>

Hi,
I am brand new to MapServer, and I am trying to figure out WCS.

I've been following the instructions on
http://mapserver.org/ogc/wcs_server.html
and was making some progress as executing a GetCapabilities request
returns what I was expecting. However when I try to execute a
DescribeCoverage request I only see the following:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<CoverageDescription
   version="1.0.0" 
   updateSequence="0" 
    ... Etc ....
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wcs
http://schemas.opengis.net/wcs/1.0.0/describeCoverage.xsd">
</CoverageDescription>

Based on the tutorial I am also expecting to see a CoverageOffering
element as well with something like:

<CoverageOffering>
  <name>week19</name>
  <label>Week19</label>
 ... Etc ....
</CoverageOffering>

However, only the the CoverageDescription element shows up.

The relevant portions of my .map file are as follows:

MAP

If anyone can see anything obvious as to why I am not getting the
expected result I would greatly appreciate some advice.

Cheers,

Message-ID: <ae9185aa0907021331w13b3b12foe63294c1c789de81@mail.gmail.com>

My Apache error log is full of "In msCleanupOnSignal." entries. Can
anyone tell me what it means and if I should be concerned? I built
5.2.2 with the config options below:

./configure --with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config\
 --with-geos\
 --with-gdal\
 --with-proj\
 --without-eppl\
 --with-ogr

Mapserver is running fine, but I figure anything in an error log is
worth investigating.

Thanks,
Rich

Message-ID: <OFA82DFB5F.67E53647-ONC12575E7.0073E271-C12575E7.0074CA4C@pula.hr>

Steve,

Is there any GeoJSON example I can see? I must be missing something 
trivial,

When I put:

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME 'geojson'
  DRIVER TEMPLATE
  MIMETYPE 'application/json; subtype=geojson'
  TEMPLATE 'myTemplate.js'
END

in my.map file and call for example 
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/pmapper/pmapper-3.2.0/config/default/geojson_demo.map&layer=countries" 
(this works correctly without geojson part), I get: getString(): Symbol 
definition error. Parsing error near (TEMPLATE):(line 74) 

If I put DRIVER 'TEMPLATE' then I get: loadOutputFormat(): Unknown 
identifier. Parsing error near (TEMPLATE):(line 76) 

Finally, putting FORMATOPTION 'FILE=myTemplate.js' instead of TEMPLATE 
gives me: loadOutputFormat(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT clause 
references driver TEMPLATE, but this driver isn't configured. 

So, I am obviously doing something wrong regardless the myTemplate.js 
file? (anyway, can you give me an example .js file, anything that could 
help :-)

Hi,

You can use the MapScript C# wrapper to achieve the desired functionality
according to the following steps:

1. Download the binary package which suits best to your compiler and
architecture: http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx
2. Add reference to the mapscript_csharp.dll in your Visual Studio project.
3. Copy the dll-s from the /bin and /bin/ms/csharp directory into your
target directory.
4. use the classes of the OSGeo.MapServer namespace to make up your
application

Refer to the following tutorial for more detailed information
http://www.paolocorti.net/2006/09/20/mapserver-tutorial-for-c-mapscript-asp-net/

Best regards,

Tamas

I do not want to be rude to the mapserver community, since I moved to
linux 2 years ago I have never abandonned it ;-) but...

If you want to create mapping applications from the dotnet framework,
you might want to consider sharpmap. I have had some really good
experience with their toolkit when I was still programming for windows:

http://sharpmap.codeplex.com/

Maybe it can be of use for you.

Kind regards,

We've successfully used SharpMap but I would be wary of choosing it today. The project seems to have lost its way after its creator Morten Nielsen left for ESRI. The last stable release, 0.9, is from 2006 when he was still with the project.

Lewis.

I do not want to be rude to the mapserver community, since I moved to
linux 2 years ago I have never abandonned it ;-) but...

If you want to create mapping applications from the dotnet framework,
you might want to consider sharpmap. I have had some really good
experience with their toolkit when I was still programming for windows:

http://sharpmap.codeplex.com/

Maybe it can be of use for you.

Kind regards,

Subject: [mapserver-users] Can't get JOIN to work with Postgis
Message-ID: <005801c9fbb1$154e83a0$a301a8c0@avantias.local>

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the tag JOIN in a layer in order to join two tables in
POSTGIS. 

 

The layer gets displayed on the map but it seems that the join is ignored (a
subset of the layer should be displayed normally after the join and when I
select some features I don?t see the attributes from the join table).

 

BTW: I use MapServer 5.2.1 on Windows

 

Is there anything wrong with the layer that has been defined:

 

LAYER

    CONNECTION "host=localhost user=scott dbname=basepiad password='tiger'

    CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS

    DATA "the_geom from dept_aquitaine using unique oid using SRID=27581"

      CLASS

      NAME "classe"

      STYLE

        ANGLE 360

        COLOR 255 255 255

        OPACITY 100

        OUTLINECOLOR 180 180 180

        SYMBOL 0

      END

    END

    JOIN

      NAME "test_join"

      TABLE "webigeo.wap1"

      FROM "code_depar"

        TO "f0"

      TYPE ONE-TO-ONE

    END

    NAME "departements_join"

    STATUS ON

    TEMPLATE "ttt"

    TYPE POLYGON

    UNITS METERS

  END

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Gana?l

You're right, the two tables are not in the same schema but they have the
appropriate select rights.

Having a join defined in the data works fine:

DATA "the_geom from (SELECT dept_aquitaine.the_geom as the_geom, wap1.f0 as
name0, wap1.f1 as name1, dept_aquitaine.oid as oid from dept_aquitaine INNER
JOIN webigeo.wap1 on (dept_aquitaine.code_depar = wap1.f0)) as tmp using
SRID=27581"

However I would have preferred using a JOIN since it is easier to generate
in a program and more generic.

Cheers
Ganael

wap1 is in webigeo schema and dept_aquitaine is in public schema ?

Try to do a simple SQL join query, first test in in pgsql and then
just paste it in your data sections, easier to debug.

DATA "the_geom from (
SELECT dept_aquitaine.the_geom as the_geom,  wap1.some_field as name
from dept_aquitaine
LEFT JOIN webigeo.wap1 on (dept_aquitaine.f0 = wap1.f0)
) as tmp using SRID=YOUR_SRID using unique YOUR_GID"

Subject: [mapserver-users] ms_newprojectionobj

Hi,

I'm using php-mapscript to project a point from epsg:31466 
(Gauss-Krueger-Zone2) to epsg:4326 (WGS84):

//create point
$qPoint = ms_newPointObj();
$qPoint->setXY(2521189,5541667);

 // Calculate -> WGS84
$projInObj = ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:31466");
$projOutObj = ms_newprojectionobj("init=epsg:4326");
$qPoint->project($projInObj, $projOutObj);
$WGS_X = round($qPoint->x,6);
$WGS_Y = round($qPoint->y,6);
echo 'WGS84: <strong>'.$WGS_Y.','.$WGS_X.' </strong>';

I let the script running on two diferent Servers with the same 
Mapserver-Installation:

The first Server calculates the correct coordinates:
WGS84: 50.010907,6.295043

http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=de&geocode=&q=50.010907,6.295043&t=h&ie=UTF8&ll=50.010907,6.295043&spn=0.009542,0.015407&z=16&iwloc=near


The second server calculates the wrong coordinates:
WGS84: 50.012688,6.295651

http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=de&geocode=&q=50.012688,6.295651&t=h&ie=UTF8&ll=50.012688,6.295651&spn=0.009542,0.015407&z=16&iwloc=near

Both Servers have the same Mapscriptversion:
MapServer version 5.0.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG 
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT 
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS 
INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

What is wrong with the second installation? Is there a different 
geosversion, how can I test this?
Thanks
Sven

Hello Sven,

I suggest you search for a file called epsg on both systems. It is a
text file containing EPSG projection parameters.
Search both for <31466> and  <4326>
Compare the lines and check to see they match.

Good luck!

Hi,

thanks for the hint, but I checkt the proj already, it's the same.
I work with Windows and have the same proj-dir under C:\proj installed on 
both servers.
Any idea?

You could test it on both servers with a Windows package like MS4W 
(http://www.maptools.org/ms4w), so you are sure that the same library 
versions are used.

Hallo Sven,

Did you check the environment variables PATH and PROJ_LIB? May be one of
your servers refers to another project directory.

Hi Jeff,
thank you for your reply.

I got the failure:
in my proj-file the epsgcode is following:

<31466> +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=6 +k=1.000000 +x_0=2500000 +y_0=0 
+ellps=bessel +units=m +no_defs  no_defs <>

But it must be:

<31466> +proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=6 +k=1.000000 +x_0=2500000 +y_0=0 
+ellps=bessel +datum=potsdam +units=m +no_defs  <>


There is no definition of the datum. That makes the wrong coordinates.
I didn't see it because one Server had a PROJ_NAD System variable on the 
correct proj-file

Sven

Hi,
I trying to compile mapserver 5.4.1 for Windows.
In the nmake.opt file I need to address the bgd_i.lib file from GDlib.
I can't find this file anywhere.

Thanks in advance,

Hi there,

  The wms_sld_url metadata is used on WMS layers (wms client) in the map 
file, so that when a GetMap request is done to retrieve the layer from a 
remote WMS server, the SLD is sent in the request and used by the remote 
WMS server to style the layer. Is that your understanding and what you 
attempted?
There is no  way currently to use the styling out of an sld on a 
map/layer by specifying it in the map file. There is a possibility to do 
so using Mapscript's functions applysld (on map and layer objects).

Best regards,

Hi,

  I don't see any obvious problem with your filter. Can you try to set 
the filter element on your layer to an expression equivalent to your wfs 
filter, (assuming that the underlying data is a shape/OGR), something 
like this:  FILTER (([von_pegel] >= 70 or [bis_pegel] <
 > 70) and '[datumzeit]' = '2009-07-09 12:00:00')  and see if you get 
what you expect.  If you get what you expect, you can send me off line 
your map/data and I can look at it using the wfs filter.

best regards

Hi Thorsten,

You can download the SDK packages containing all the required files to
compile MapServer with Visual Studio:

http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx


To compile just type 'nmake ms' in the root directory with the Visual Studio
command prompt.

Best regards,

Tamas

Craig,

You did not provide the request you issued in your email.  I am suspecting
there is an issue with the name of the coverage you requested to be
described but I would need to see the request issued.  If the server is
public it would also be helpful to know the url so I could experiment against
it.

Craig,

I have reviewed the request url, the .map and the code and I can't see
any
obvious reason it would not be working.  It should be returning a
coverage
description for the requested layer.  You might want to try omitting the
&COVERAGE= request in which case it should try to describe all
coverages.

It might also be helpful to see the capabilities you are getting.

I can confirm the service is not externally visible.

Best regards,

Hi Thorsten,

Here is what I use for that section of nmake.opt:

   !IFNDEF GD_DIR
   GD_DIR=$(MS_BASE)\..\gd-2.0.35
   GD_LIB=$(GD_DIR)/gd.lib
   !ENDIF

Thx for your answer,

i have solved the problem.

The filter is ok
i think the problem was:
First, i edited the filter in notepad++ an than copied and pasted it in 
firefox.
I think this caused the problem, because some "undefined" characters were 
also copied (but i dont know which characters!?!)

When i edit the filter in a php-script, i get the right response.

Subject: [mapserver-users] point layer symbols
Message-ID: <3684FED92D7A43618E4C56EDCE0ADB93@Worthlaptop>

Can anyone help describe how point symbols defined as type vector are placed
upon the point on the map.

My symbol and layer are listed below.  I get a good looking symbols.

 

My problem occurs when clicking on this symbol (and others like a triangle)
to query it.

 

If I click at the bottom of the airplane, I often get no results.

 

If I click above the top of the airplane, I can get results.

 

Raising the tolerance causes multiple results when the symbols are close
together but not touching.

 

How is the box surrounding the symbol (the bounds of the symbol) placed upon
the point on the map?  And how does size 9 in the class definition relate to
the size of this box?  Can anyone shed some light on this for me? 

 

Thanks,

Worth

Suman

I am doing this another way.... Although I am using GeoMoose/MapServer...
I am using an OGR connection in my map file to connect to a MySQL database via a OVF file....this is plotting Points based on XY Coordinates, which is querying the database.  I am would have to look up again what I am doing if you are interested in this.

Is this something like you are doing Bobb.  I am not familiar with the Query/Render engine in map server.

The best approach I can think of, would be to figure out how to add the points to the database in a dynamic method, and use MapServer as the Query/Render engine.  This is how we do GPS location points for example.  The points are loaded into the Database (POSTGIS) and simply (re)read as a display request by MapServer.


Just set up both sides, the Database and the MapServer connectivity to the database as two separate processes, and that should get you what you are after.

Hi all,


I am working on a project which requires adding points to a basic map dynamically. That means  the basic map will be read from the map file. Then the points will be queried from a database preferably PostGreSQL  and then plotted on the map. I cannot add the query to the map file because the points will be generated dynamically at regular intervals.


Is there any way I can do this in mapserver?

Message-ID: <4A51D656.5157.008F.0@dnr.state.mn.us>

Hi Worth: When you define a vector symbol you're essentially defining a default
size as well (I believe) relative to 0,0. The SIZE you set is then used to scale the
symbol based on that default size. If things are anchored to 0,0 then it generally
works ok. I always try to work on the unit square (0,0,1,1) when defining symbols
although that's not required. Being relative to 0,0 is important.

Anyway, a symbol is always centered on the point. Where the actual point is depends
on how you laid out the symbol. To see this try adding another styleObj after your
main symbol like so:

CLASS
    NAME "Major Airport"
    EXPRESSION "MAJOR AIRPORT"
    STYLE
      COLOR 139 0 139
      SYMBOL 'airplane'
      SIZE 9
    END
    STYLE # a red pixel
      COLOR 255 0 0
    END
    ...
END

You should see a red pixel over your airplane. That may help explain why you see the
clicking issues you do. The placement is based on the bounds of the symbol (0,0,maxx, maxy)
so if a symbol is defined well away from 0,0 then odd things can happen. We hope to 
fix this in upcoming releases.

If you're having trouble with multiple results why not use mode=query instead of nquery?

1) TEMPLATE is a keyword and must be quoted at the moment, so use DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'

2) The file to be used in the OUTPUTFORMAT is given like this:

  FORMATOPTION 'FILE=/some/template/file/...'

3) You're call to MapServer needs to be a query. For example:

  http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/pmapper/pmapper-3.2.0/config/default/geojson_demo.map&layer=countries&mode=nquery&qformat=geojson

This call will use all the default EXTENT value in the mapfile to query all eligible layers and run the
results through the geojson driver.

I'm doing this to produce javascript code that gets executed by an Ext.JS component. Not purely
GeoJSON but it works similarly.

Thanks for the help.  The red pixel trick allows me to see the point. It is
in the center of the plane and it looks like I have about a 10 pixel
wingspan for the chosen SIZE 9. 

Now my question is about the tolerance.  Does "TOLERANCE 5" mean a 5 pixel
radius or a 5 pixel diameter?

I'm querying with PHP mapscript and expect multiple results in some cases
where items are very close together.  I'm just seeing some multiples where I
do not expect them, but this may be due to the TOLERANCE being set too high.
I'm still playing to get a grip on how this works.

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] point layer symbols

Hi Worth: When you define a vector symbol you're essentially defining a
default
size as well (I believe) relative to 0,0. The SIZE you set is then used to
scale the
symbol based on that default size. If things are anchored to 0,0 then it
generally
works ok. I always try to work on the unit square (0,0,1,1) when defining
symbols
although that's not required. Being relative to 0,0 is important.

Anyway, a symbol is always centered on the point. Where the actual point is
depends
on how you laid out the symbol. To see this try adding another styleObj
after your
main symbol like so:

CLASS
    NAME "Major Airport"
    EXPRESSION "MAJOR AIRPORT"
    STYLE
      COLOR 139 0 139
      SYMBOL 'airplane'
      SIZE 9
    END
    STYLE # a red pixel
      COLOR 255 0 0
    END
    ...
END

You should see a red pixel over your airplane. That may help explain why you
see the
clicking issues you do. The placement is based on the bounds of the symbol
(0,0,maxx, maxy)
so if a symbol is defined well away from 0,0 then odd things can happen. We
hope to 
fix this in upcoming releases.

If you're having trouble with multiple results why not use mode=query
instead of nquery?

Thanks Steve,

I did all that and I get:

loadOutputFormat(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT clause references 
driver TEMPLATE, but this driver isn't configured. 

Do I have an older MapServer version? Currently, I run this on ms4w 2.2.7 
(MapServer 5.0.2), but as I remember, I have also tried with 3.0-beta3 
(MapServer 5.4.0) and got the same result. 

Does it mean this driver is not supported in those versions?

Hi all,
I
am just introduced to Map Server, I've developed a web server with
Fedora 7 and would like to develop a tool for map analysis in web by
using Map Server. Advise please, how to make a map interpolation with
Map Server? and also the requirement for developing the interpolation?

Dear Gito,

UMN is not a real "GIS application" itsself, UMN is more capable for 
showing processed GIS data in the internet. There are some possibilities 
to interact with PostGIS, but if you really want to interpolate data 
from points to surfaces, you should think about using a GIS in your 
backend (e.g. GRASS, which supports a PHP, python (and some others 
based) interface to web-applications).
As an example we use GRASS as backend so that users may interpolate 
time-series of measured soil-moisture data and present this data via UMN 
Mapserver in an OpenLayers based client.

So, what you need is an architecture, not purely UMN.
Correct me, if I'm wrong... -)

Hope this points you in a direction

Dear Till

Thank you for your explanation, my friend alredy told me that I suppose to used a GRASS.
But there's another question that being my thought, 
first, the scripts to connect between mapserver and the GRASS software

second, how to interpolate the data [in this case I use Rainfall data]
in GRASS then mapserver shows the interpolation result from GRASS in
mapserver? 

I am loooking for ur advice

best,
Gito

Dear Gito,

UMN is not a real "GIS application" itsself, UMN is more capable for showing processed GIS data in the internet. There are some possibilities to interact with PostGIS, but if you really want to interpolate data from points to surfaces, you should think about using a GIS in your backend (e.g. GRASS, which supports a PHP, python (and some others based) interface to web-applications).
As an example we use GRASS as backend so that users may interpolate time-series of measured soil-moisture data and present this data via UMN Mapserver in an OpenLayers based client.

So, what you need is an architecture, not purely UMN.
Correct me, if I'm wrong... -)

Hope this points you in a direction

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapserver 5.2.0 and 5.4.1,
	QUANTIZE_FORCE or PALETTE_FORCE do not produce
	8bit colour PNG file - only reduce the number of colours used.
Message-ID: <000801c9fef5$4b2a5d40$0401a8c0@BenefonUK.local>

Hi everybody,

 

I have tried unsuccessfully to reduce the size of my PNG image tiles,
generated by the Mapserver using the QUANTIZE_FORCE or PALETTE_FORCE
options.  The resulting file is marginally smaller than the one not using
those options.  

 

Using "IrfanView" I could get some information about the colours used and
the number of bits used to code the colours.  The repost shows a decrease of
the number of colours used from over 1600 to either 241 (Mapserver defined)
or 193 (using palette file containing 71 predefined colours).

However, tool reports 24 bits used for colour mapping.

 

If I put the PNG image through tools like "pngquant", "OptiPng" or
"pngcrush", the resulting image is much smaller and "IrfanView" reports that
only 8 bits are used for colour mapping!

 

The relevant map file part is:

 

    IMAGETYPE AGG_PNG24

    OUTPUTFORMAT

        NAME AGG_PNG24

        DRIVER AGG/PNG

        MIMETYPE  "image/png"

        IMAGEMODE RGB

        EXTENSION  "png"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/var/www/html/maps_gypsii/palette.txt"

        FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"

    END

 

The Mapserver, both 5.2.0 and 5.4.1, has been configured with
--with-experimental-png or --enable-experimental-png (I have not noticed any
difference in using either option).

 

Please, advise what I am missing here.

 

Many thanks,

Nick

Hi Steve (and others)

Finally I got GeoJSON output from MapServer. I have used the newest ms4w. 
The point is - I have already tried with this one, but probably didn't use 
FORMATOPTION or something like this. Now it works correctly.

A note - I had to use backslash notation for template FILE (on Windows of 
course)

That's it for now,

Thanks very much

Subject: [mapserver-users] Cascading WMS layer requests in MapServer
Message-ID: <2a955f950907070709h626c2cb0neb45c3a1ddb1e744@mail.gmail.com>

Hi

I was wondering if anybody knew whether it is possible to combine
multiple requests to a cascaded WMS service.

For example, my WMS service has lots of layers in it.  Amongst them
are six cascaded layers from a 3rd party service.  If a user requests
all six of those layers in one request currently, it makes six
individual requests to the 3rd party service in order to draw those
layers.

Whilst this makes sense if the layers= parameter has different layers
in between the 3rd party layers, when 2 or more layers are together,
surely it would make more sense to make fewer requests where possible.

Is this something that Mapserver already does and I havent spotted
it(in the WMS_METADATA for example?) , or is this a future requirement
;o) ?

Hi There,

  MapServer by default should try to merge WMS requests for adjacent 
layers unless specifically asked not to using the metedata 
wms_force_separate_request (http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_client.html).

  Do you have an example of the full URL of the GetMap request for 2 
adjacent layers that should be merged?  Note that all parameters of the 
2 request should be the same except parameters such as LAYERS, 
QUERY_LAYERS, STYLES that could be different.

Best Regards,

Hi Nikolai: I'm using the exact same output format and it works fine
for me (PALETTE_FORCE, 5.4.1). With that format my output images are
1/4 the size of their RGB counterparts. Have you tried a version without
any of the experimental PNG options enabled?

This means that you have not compiled MapServer with support for Oracle Spatial. Are you using a binary distribution, if so you'll need to compile from source and include that path to your local Oracle Client install. What OS are you running under?

I don't work with Windows myself, only Linux/Unix, and that is all I've done compiles on. The first step would be to try and following the following guides to compile for Windows:

	http://mapserver.org/installation/win32.html
	http://mapserver.org/installation/oracle.html

Perhaps someone else here on the list has first-hand experience compiling on Windows with Oracle Spatial support.

- use the latest installer (currently MS4W 3.0 beta4) and follow the 
instructions in the README document inside that package (or online at 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL_3.0.html#oracle-10g-11g)
- if you have configuration questions please use the MS4W mailing list:

MapServer relies on GDAL for many data formats. GDAL can be configured 
in a way that it can access directly the GRASS database. In case, some 
googling should help.

Hello Thomas,

I've compiled all the source again on a clean system and now I've got:

./mapserv -v
MapServer version 5.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

so it looks better to me.

Thanks for your help.

Peter.

Hi Steve, and everyone else,

Thanks for your responce!

Late last night I discovered what the issue was.  It took me several days of
reading other people's problems and solutins in this area.  It turned up
that it is not the Mapserver settings, but the PHP functions I use to save
the immage on the HD.

I am using PHP "imagepng" after cropping the original image to remove the
"gutter".  However the function always seems to saves the image using 24
bits for colour mapping even if a palette is used and the colours are less
than 256.

The solution was to use "imagetruecolortopalette" PHP function like this - 

imagetruecolortopalette($tile_image, false, 256)

I have to do some more investigation, but the PNG file now is using 8 bits
for colours and is dramaticaly amaller.

Best regards,
Nick

Hi Nikolai: I'm using the exact same output format and it works fine
for me (PALETTE_FORCE, 5.4.1). With that format my output images are
1/4 the size of their RGB counterparts. Have you tried a version without
any of the experimental PNG options enabled?

Hi everybody,

 

I have tried unsuccessfully to reduce the size of my PNG image tiles,
generated by the Mapserver using the QUANTIZE_FORCE or PALETTE_FORCE
options.  The resulting file is marginally smaller than the one not using
those options.  

 

Using "IrfanView" I could get some information about the colours used and
the number of bits used to code the colours.  The repost shows a decrease of
the number of colours used from over 1600 to either 241 (Mapserver defined)
or 193 (using palette file containing 71 predefined colours).

However, tool reports 24 bits used for colour mapping.

 

If I put the PNG image through tools like "pngquant", "OptiPng" or
"pngcrush", the resulting image is much smaller and "IrfanView" reports that
only 8 bits are used for colour mapping!

 

The relevant map file part is:

 

    IMAGETYPE AGG_PNG24

    OUTPUTFORMAT

        NAME AGG_PNG24

        DRIVER AGG/PNG

        MIMETYPE  "image/png"

        IMAGEMODE RGB

        EXTENSION  "png"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/var/www/html/maps_gypsii/palette.txt"

        FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"

    END

 

The Mapserver, both 5.2.0 and 5.4.1, has been configured with
--with-experimental-png or --enable-experimental-png (I have not noticed any
difference in using either option).

 

Please, advise what I am missing here.

 

Many thanks,

Nick

Subject: [mapserver-users] Smaller polygon sizes when using mapserver 5.4.1
	compare to 5.2.0
Message-ID: <65D1C555BE9443A180F3B1697EF7E69F@BenefonUK.local>

Hi everyone,

 

I've just upgraded one of my test servers from 5.2.0 to 5.4.1.  I have an
issue there and I wonder whether anybody have noticed it.  My map polygones
seems to be fractionaly smaller (compare to those drawned by 5.2.0).

 

I am using the same maps, map files, PHP scripts, etc.  The plygons which
belong to the same layer, do not quite well "fit" with each other - their
borders match perfectly before the upgarde to 5.4.1.

 

Also, I use BACKGROUNDCOLOR in my map file to create shield like square
behind a label.  Those squares are now significantly smaller too. 

 

I wander what causes this effect and what I should do to achieve the same
image as with 5.2.0?

 

Thanks,

Nick

Message-ID: <AF04A9D93DF042FFBECDB1ABCEC5B571@BenefonUK.local>

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks to Thomas Bonfort I have resolved the issue of the smaller polygons -
he advised me to define the OUTLINECOLOUR with the same as COLOUR for the
polygon layer in the map file and it works.  I wonder what has changed in
the new Mapserver version 5.4.1?

 

However, the issue with the "background rectangle (i.e. billboard) shadow"
created using BACKGROUNDCOLOR in the LABEL definition is still unresolved.  

 

I have two different maps one using DRIVER AGG/PNG in the OUTPUTFORMAT
definition and another with DRIVER GD/PNG.  For the first one I have the
problem with BACKGROUNDCOLOR size, in contrast, in the other (GD) map, the
size is good, i.e. the same as for Mapserver 5.2.0 (regardless of the use of
AGG or GD).  I have not changed the AGG library or any other library, only
the Mpserver code.

 

Thanks,

Nick

May well be a tolerance issue. By default it's in pixels and based on the extent you're setting (I don't
know what the map SIZE is set to) it's probably a super tiny value. Have you tried setting a tolerance
in map units? E.g. 

  TOLERANCE 5
  TOLERANCEUNITS meters # or whatever

Just an idea...

Here is another posting from Bob, posted here last year,


All,

I'm done with the cartography, I think.

Anyone see any problems with it that are obvious?  Again, this is only
the road network, and it's only for a local dataset.   

http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/gis/gismo_public/html/?mapbook=/datasets/CONF
IGS/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/MAPBOOKS/TS/gismo3_test_public.xml#

Unless someone comes up with an errors somewhere, I think I may post
this tomorrow sometime.  It still needs some work and I'll be adding to
the comments the rest of the week.  I think I'll version the releases
until I get to something stable, but I think it's usable as is already,
and I got a couple of requests for it already.

I'm also planning on adding in the TIGER lines to this test interface, I
only got out as far as six steps away from the world view in Google. 
I'll finish it off with the TIGER data.

-------

Some stuff that came up this week, I've done all the thresholding based
on FEET as the units of measure, and our data is in a local County
coordinate system.  Anyone have an idea for a good neutral coordinate
system to use for the TIGER line dataset that would be the most flexible
for folks?

Another item I wondered about, would it help to separate up the MAPFILE
for clarity into sections and use the INCLUDE parameter?  This should
make it a lot easier to follow some of the cartography settings, but
maybe I'm making too much of it.  I was wondering if this might be some
sort of performance hit as well, I doubt it though.

I'm also planning on doing some performance tuning, and separate up some
of the TIGER data into road classes for performance reasons.  I'm doing
this for a couple of reasons, but the community gets to reap the
results, so if there is interest, I'll keep going with the intention of
publishing the TIGER data in a performance enhanced version.  Otherwise,
I'll just move onto the Railroad, Parks, and water layers to complete
the look.

If anyone wants to help out after taking a look at the thresholding I
already have set up in the MapFile, it would be appreciated, we can pull
all these layers together into a single package for distribution.

Let me know your thoughts . . .

Hi all,

I am trying to develop an application in C# (VS2005) with mapscript. I
saw the material of Paolo. But I am facing a problem 

 

In the line 

 

mapObj map= new
mapObj(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Ap
ache/htdocs/mapservertest/Addison.map"].toString())

 

It is generating the error " Object reference not set to an instance of
an object"

 

How can I correct this? If anyone helps me in correcting it, it will be
great.

 

Suman

Subject: [mapserver-users] mapserver or MS4W package on Windows x64
Message-ID: <4A5513DB.4000702@udel.edu>

I have an existing server running x64 Windows Server 2008.  I've been 
running x64 version sof Apache 2.2.10 and PHP 5.2.5 as downloaded and 
described here: 
http://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/64bit-apache-php-mysql-windows.html   
(PHP is currently running as an apache module)


My question is could I use MS4W and follow the instructions under 
Installing for other Environments 
(http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL_3.0.html#j-installing-the-ms4w-mapserver-binaries-in-other-environments)

Or, should I install the pieces (mapserver, gdal, etc...) separately, 
and possibly got the x64 versions from 
http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx ?


At the start, I'll be using Mapserver for viewing of basic WMS services, 
nothing fancy.  Not too far in the future though, I'll be using PHP or 
Python mapscript code, and/or implementing a package like GeoMoose. My 
data will be shapefiles, PostGIs features, and a few raster formats.   


Any suggestions on where I should start with setting up my server?  Thanks.

Hi Suman,

I suspect
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[?C:/ms4w/Apache/htdocs/mapservertest/Addison.map?]
evaluates to null in your case, and therefore the ToString() operation on
the null reference is failing which problem is not related to the MapScript
library itself.

Best regards,

Tamas

The link posted below, is an old testing link.   I'll dig out a link at the office in the morning for a MAPFILE download.  If you don't want to wait, a copy of the finished product ended up tacked on to the end of this PDF:

Hi Steve and everyone,

 

The images below are from Mapserver 5.2.0 (left) and 5.4.1 (right) of the
same map using AGG. Please note the difference in the size of the road
shields (green shields). 

 

     

 

 

The following are images from the same servers (Mapserver 5.2.0 (left) and
5.4.1 (right)) of the same map (different zoom) using GD.  Please note that
the two maps are practically the same.

 

     

 

 

The complete map-file used for the first example is attached to this e-mail.
The parts of it specific to the issue are like that:

 

    OUTPUTFORMAT

        NAME AGG_PNG

        DRIVER AGG/PNG

        MIMETYPE  "image/png"

        IMAGEMODE RGB

        EXTENSION  "png"

        #FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=TRUE"

        #FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/var/www/html/maps_gypsii/palette.txt"

        FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"

    END

 

and

        CLASS

            EXPRESSION /^E/

            LABEL

                PRIORITY 4

                PARTIALS false

                MINFEATURESIZE 10

                MINDISTANCE 300

                COLOR 255 255 255

                BACKGROUNDCOLOR 128 208 100

                BACKGROUNDSHADOWCOLOR 81 145 58

                ANGLE 0

                BUFFER 2

                FONT arial-bold

                TYPE truetype

                SIZE 7

            END

        END

 

The difference for the second examples is in the output format used:

 

    OUTPUTFORMAT

        NAME PNG

        DRIVER GD/PNG

        MIMETYPE  "image/png"

        IMAGEMODE RGB

        EXTENSION  "png"

        #FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=TRUE"

        #FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/var/www/html/maps_gypsii/palette.txt"

        FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"

    END

Perhaps you could post image samples and a mapfile?

References: <4A5513DB.4000702@udel.edu>

I started working with the x64 binaries from Tamas' site at 
http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx.  MSVC2005 (Win64) seemed 
most appropriate for me.  However, I did not see php mapscript support.  
Is that true?  I did see mapscript for java, python, and csharp. 

Can php mapscript run at all with x64 versions of Apache/PHP and/or 
Mapserver?   If not, then I'll have to give up x64 or PHP.  Bummer.


I've also been reading that I should run Mapserver in fastcgi mode, in 
either Win32 or Win64 versions. Does that mean to use PHP mapscript that 
I need to run PHP in cgi/fastcgi mode and NOT as an apache module?


Thanks for any advice.  It's a bit confusing.

Subject: [mapserver-users] An example of GeoPDF output (not from
	Mapserver... yet)
Message-ID: <4A56024B.7060706@geoanalytic.com>

     This post likely belongs in Geowanking (http://geowanking.org), but since 
we're getting close to releasing Mapserver with Cairo/PDF, I thought I'd stir 
the pot.

     The Canadian federal government's mapping department released a new 
rendered map product CanTopo 
(http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/collection/detail.do?id=37505) last 
week.  So far they've only released about 50 of a possible 13,000 1:50k map sheets.

     Some interesting points:
   - The PDF info is vector (not simply a scanned map stuffed into a PDF)
   - they are GeoPDFs (if you use Acrobat Reader on Windows there will be a 
dynamic Lat/Lon/MGRS readout)
   - the info is organized onto layers you can switch on/off
   - the map is based on their CanVec GIS data 
(http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/product/search.do?id=28954)
     but the feature name label placement must have been done by hand!

You can download them from the .ca link above, but here's one I've made 
available on my server:
http://139.142.13.163/Download/Mapserver/092b12_0601_geo.pdf

   It will be interesting to see how close we can get to similar output with 
Mapserver 6.0...

Hi,

I corrected my problem. Actually, I changed the code a little bit. 

 

Const string MAP_FILE = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/Addison.map"

Map= new mapObj(MAP_FILE)

 

The line
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Apache/ht
docs/mapservertest/Addison.map"]  

 Is throwing error. No idea what it is trying to do.

 

Now my application is working fine in IIS and C#.

Hi Suman,

I suspect
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Apache/ht
docs/mapservertest/Addison.map"]  evaluates to null in your case, and
therefore the ToString() operation on the null reference is failing
which problem is not related to the MapScript library itself.

Hi all,

I am trying to develop an application in C# (VS2005) with mapscript. I
saw the material of Paolo. But I am facing a problem 

 

In the line 

 

mapObj map= new
mapObj(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Ap
ache/htdocs/mapservertest/Addison.map"].toString())

 

It is generating the error " Object reference not set to an instance of
an object"

 

How can I correct this? If anyone helps me in correcting it, it will be
great.

 

Suman

Hi John,

PHP support is lacking at the moment. I think if libphp could be compiled
for x64 then it wouldn't be a problem to compile php mapscript against it.
I'll give it a try this weekend if I have enough time.

I think that's not a strong requirement, you could either use fastcgi and
cgi equally well, however fastcgi will perform better.

Hi Suman,

Check your web.config file- You probably have an entry similar to:

<appSettings>

        <add key="mapfile" value="C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\...addison.map"/>

.

 

In your code you want to create the mapfile object by reading the mapfile
path from web.config. So what you need to do is:

 

mapObj map= new
mapObj(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mapfile"].toSt
ring())

(or whatever the variable in the web.config is called)

 

You don't really want to use a constant to point to the mapfile...

 

Pano

Subject: [mapserver-users] GetCapabilities response being truncated
Message-ID: <4A565A3C.2060905@udel.edu>

This seems to be a strange problem...  I can generate maps fine through 
the browser and mode=map.   However, responses to GetCapabilities 
requests are being truncated.  They are being truncated to 4053 
characters.  I've tried this using two separate map files, using 
different data, both WMS 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 versions, and the same result 
every time. 

I found some references to old posts but they didn't seem to apply 
here.  My data in each map file is just one shapefile.  My map file 
symbology is also very simple; it's listed below.

When run from the command line (mapserv 
"QUERY_STRING=map=...REQUEST=GetCapabilities"), it works perfectly.


I'm using the x64 stable build from 
http://vbkto.dyndns.org:1280/sdk/Default.aspx (MSVC2005 Win64)  Apache 
2.2.10 and PHP 5.2.5 (x64 versions) if that matters.


I just don't know what's going on.  Sounds like a problem with my server 
setup.  Has anyone experienced this before?  Any suggestions on what I 
can check?  Thanks.

- John

"QUERY_STRING=map=...REQUEST=GetCapabilities" > geomap.xml, then the 
output is again truncated. 

The limit is not 4053 characters but rather 4096 characters.  At least 
the number makes more sense.

Using MapServer 5.4.1, x64 in Windows 2008 Server.   More details on the 
environment is:

Message-ID: <28efbb70907100108p5f2b0034g15bd20c5da9ebeb0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,



anybody knows how to associate an image legend (.png) to a raster layer? I?m
trying to do so with this .map, but it doesn?t work.



LAYER

            NAME Mapabase20

            TYPE raster

            STATUS on

            DATA "mapa_base20.png"

            MINSCALE 60000

            MAXSCALE 400000



            PROJECTION

            "init=epsg:23030"

            END



            METADATA

            "wms_title" "Mapa Base 20"

            "wms_abstract" "Imagen raster"

            "wms_keywordlist" "WMS imagen raster"

            "wms_srs" "EPSG:23030"

            "wms_style" "leyendaMapabase20"

            "wms_style_leyendaMapabase20_legendurl_href" "

            "wms_style_leyendaMapabase20_legendurl_width" "75"

            "wms_style_leyendaMapabase20_legendurl_height" "50"

            "wms_style_leyendaMapabase20_legendurl_format" "image/png"

            END

END #fin de mapabase20


Is there anything left? Is it possible to do it? Thank you.

Hi Suman,

Check your web.config file- You probably have an entry similar to:

<appSettings>

        <add key="mapfile"
value="C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\...addison.map"/>

...

 

In your code you want to create the mapfile object by reading the
mapfile path from web.config. So what you need to do is:

 

mapObj map= new
mapObj(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mapfile"].
toString())

(or whatever the variable in the web.config is called)

 

You don't really want to use a constant to point to the mapfile...

Hi,

I corrected my problem. Actually, I changed the code a little bit. 

 

Const string MAP_FILE = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/Addison.map"

Map= new mapObj(MAP_FILE)

 

The line
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Apache/ht
docs/mapservertest/Addison.map"]  

 Is throwing error. No idea what it is trying to do.

 

Now my application is working fine in IIS and C#.

Hi Suman,

I suspect
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Apache/ht
docs/mapservertest/Addison.map"]  evaluates to null in your case, and
therefore the ToString() operation on the null reference is failing
which problem is not related to the MapScript library itself.

Hi all,

I am trying to develop an application in C# (VS2005) with mapscript. I
saw the material of Paolo. But I am facing a problem 

 

In the line 

 

mapObj map= new
mapObj(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Ap
ache/htdocs/mapservertest/Addison.map"].toString())

 

It is generating the error " Object reference not set to an instance of
an object"

 

How can I correct this? If anyone helps me in correcting it, it will be
great.

 

Suman

Hi Pano,

Thank you very much. It worked. Yes, it was the thing I wanted to do.
Now I understand the meaning of the ConfigurationManager.

Hi,
I have a URL (which is good and functionnal) but the GetCapabilities return
a invalid URL in the <OnlineResource> tag.

Is there a way to tell Mapserver to use the url specified in the mapfile
(tag CONNECTION) instead of the url return in the <OnlineResource> of the
getcapabilities request?

Thank you in advance!

Youness,

Generally speaking the direct connection should be faster since it avoids
a lot of OGR overhead.  They are completely distict implementations so
you might find each has quirks and strengths though I can't really identify
them off hand.

For what it's worth - we've used the oracle direct connect in a production

Hi

I'm obviously having Friday afternoon blindness, as I can't see what I
am doing wrong!  I am trying to set up a basic Mapserver install (MS4W
v3.0 Beta 4)

MapServer version 5.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF

PORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS SUPPORTS=RGBA_PNG INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR

which points to a WMS service which only supports a single projection.
I want to get my Mapserver to reproject that data on the fly to other
projection systems, but don't seem to be doing it right!

This is my mapfile

but when I make a WMS request against it

I get

I'm guessing I'm missing something simple, but I don't know what it
is.  Any help gratefully accepted!

Subject: [mapserver-users] access problems from cgi-bin on Mac OS X 10.4.11
	/ MAMP
Message-ID: <1247243283076-3236919.post@n2.nabble.com>


So I'm a first time MapServer user and have been trying to navigate the
installation process. I think I almost have it, but I am having some last
problems. When I access my executable mapserv file from the command line, I
get this: 


This script can only be used to decode form results and should be initiated
as a CGI process via a httpd server.


All sounds good, right? Well, I am using MAMP to host an Apache2.0 server.
The httpd.conf file has the following in it:

Alias /cgi-bin/ "[rootfile]/cgi-bin/"

 Directory "[rootfile]/cgi-bin/\>
 
   AllowOverride None
 
   Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Indexes
 
   Order allow,deny
 
   Allow from all
 /Directory\>

 AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py


I know that first line should probably be ScriptAlias, but I kept getting a
"Permission Denied" message and read in a forum that this was a solution
somebody had come up with, and indeed it worked for me as well. 


Anyways, the problem is that in this cgi-bin I have my  mapserv  executable
(though one of the things I'm thinking is that maybe I need to add something
else to AddHandler to make it think that this file is executable?). But when
I got to //localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv it tries to download the file as
"Untyped Binary Data" and it doesn't execute anthing.  


In case its of any help the  ls -l for my cgi-bin gives the following
information:
-rwxr-xr-x   1 Rebecca  Rebecca   51244 Jul  9 07:52 mapserv


Do I not have this installed correctly? Or is my server just not realizing
that this is executable. I would be thrilled if I could just get to the
point where //localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv just brought up a "No query
information to decode" message, since I think I can handle it from there. 


Thank you very much,

Rebecca

Hi,

I've already tested these 2 methods with a couple of mapfiles on Windows,
but I haven't found significant differences in the rendering speed.

In my special case the OGR option was more compelling, since in this case we
can use STYLEITEM "AUTO" option. Therefore I could easily migrate all the
stuff from OGR TAB files to Oracle spatial by keeping the labeling and style
information and only some trivial replaces had to be done in the existing
mapfiles to switch from the tabfiles to the Oracle data sources.

Best regards,

Tamas

Just a check: are you using my installer, or compiling from source?   
What OSX version?

If you are using my installer, and are on OSX 10.4, Mapserver is built  
for Apache 1.3, as found in the system, and it probably won't work  
correctly, if at all with an added-on Apache 2.

If you are on OSX 10.5, why not just use the system Apache 2?

Are the starting '<' really missing, or did Mail strip them out?  I  
also see closing quotes missing and extra \ chars.  Should be:

<Directory "[rootfile]/cgi-bin/">
AllowOverride None
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

That addhandler is to run scripts as CGI.  Mapserv is a binary, so all  
it should need is ExecCGI.

I'm not sure, but you may need to load the mod_cgi module in your  
httpd.conf.  Though it may only apply to script CGIs also.

And, make sure to restart Apache after changing httpd.conf ;)

Oh, and make sure that the system Apache is not running (System  
Preferences->Sharing->Web Sharing), as it will be using the same port  
and your MAMP Apache won't even start.

some of our clients have come up with a few quirks in the native
oracle driver that should be taken into account:

* the strings storing the fields returned by the database have a fixed
length in mapserver, so that might have to be overridden at compile
time if you are planning to return data longer than a certain value
(2048 bytes from memory). For normal map rendering this shouldn't be a
problem, but problems may arise when doing wfs queries and returning a
paragraph of text for example in an attribute.

* I haven't investigated this much more, but we've also had problems
with long query strings (we're talking DATA mapfile strings of several
kbytes here)

Hi,

 

I'm new to GIS and MapServer and was hoping I could get some help with a
few questions.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

1.	From a high level, how do you display attribute data after
clicking on a map?  I've seen examples but am unsure how this is
accomplished.  Is this done by using a WMS GetFeatureInfo request or
through querying?
2.	Is it possible to change the attribute data (whether in files or
a spatial database) and what is the method to do this?

 

Thanks,

Jason

this can be a solution in some cases yes. In ours the the query is
dynamically built and passed on through the url, so it isn't as simple
as that.

Rob,

Anyone can correct me if I am wrong on this however I think you have to enter
projection information in 3 times.

1) the projection of your map
2) the projection of your data, in this case the wms service so that
mapserver knows what to reproject from.
3) the projection that you are requesting from the wms service - in the
metadata section.

I am doing this on some of my applications so let me know if your having
trouble, otherwise if someone has a better thought let me know if I am
wasting lines of code.

Example:

MAP
...
Projection # of the Map
End Projection
...
..
	Layer
	Projection # of the Source
	End Projection
	...
	Metadata
		"wms_srs" "ESPG:27700"  #projection you are requesting in WMS
	....
	End #Metadata
	...
End #layer

which points to a WMS service which only supports a single projection.
I want to get my Mapserver to reproject that data on the fly to other
projection systems, but don't seem to be doing it right!

This is my mapfile

but when I make a WMS request against it

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=example.map&request=getmap&service=w

I get

I'm guessing I'm missing something simple, but I don't know what it
is.  Any help gratefully accepted!

Thanks

Subject: [mapserver-users] .map file wont display in Open Layers
Message-ID: <COL101-W126FC1311AA387B1CDD1DE9220@phx.gbl>


Hi, If anyone can help would be greatly appreciated i have been have difficulties displaying my map in Open Layers for little while now.

 

I have a map file (uk.map) pulling in one layer which is a .shp file consisting of .tiff files i created using FWTools.

 

However i call the .map file from my html page and the map 

will not display in openlayers just a blank screen within the

Open Layers Window. Can anyone see where i am going wrong?

 

Here is my map file

 

MAP

END

 

And my html page:

    <script type="text/javascript">

     var bounds = new OpenLayers.Bounds(-888385.321101, -31000.000000, 1548385.321101, 1271000.000000);      
     var map, layer;
      
      function init(){
      map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', {maxExtent: bounds});
      map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.PanZoomBar());
      map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MouseToolbar());
      map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition());
      map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.OverviewMap());
            
      
      layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer( "OpenLayers WMS",
      "http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe", { layers: 'basic', map: 'c:/ms4w/apps/openlayers-2.5/data/uk.map' }, { gutter: 15 });      
      map.addLayer(layer);
      map.zoomToExtent(bounds);

      map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(lon, lat), zoom);      
      
      }

    </script>
  </head>
  <body onload="init()">
    <div id="map"></div>
  </body>
</html>

 

 

Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hello,

Yes the most stable and recommended tool to use is QGIS 
(http://qgis.org/)...create your map through that and then choose in the 
menus Plugins/MapServer Export.

Have fun!

Subject: [mapserver-users] ArcSDE compilation and connectivity problems
Message-ID: <F89AFF981E734BD2A3889F857D0F7021@lptopfranz>

Hi all,

I've just compiled mapserver 5.0.3 changing nmake.opt ArcSDE section into:

SDE_OPT=-DUSE_SDE
SDE_OPT= -DUSE_SDE_PLUGIN
SDE_VERSION = 91
SDE_DIR = "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\ArcSDE"
SDE_INC = -I$(SDE_SDK)\include

The complation has been succesful for both mapserver and php_mapscript.

I have the following problems:
1) if I run mapserv.exe -v I got no INPUT=SDE (or something similar)
2) from my PHP app I get "msSDELayerOpen(): SDE support is not available" on
trying openig ArcSDE layer

Please note that ArcSDE is on and I can get data from ArcCatalog.

Any idea or suggestions?...

Best regards

Francesco

Paul,

   You may need to define your output projection instead of using "AUTO" (I 
didn't know mapserver would tolerate that in the MAP section!).


And IMAGEPATH is the file-system path to a folder writable by mapserver.  Here's 
an example using standard ms4w:

   IMAGEPATH '\ms4w\tmp\ms_tmp\'

with IMAGEURL being its web-based equivalent (the same location on disk but 
access via your web server):

   IMAGEURL '\ms_tmp\'

since "ms_tmp" is set as an alias in Apache's httd.conf:

     Alias /ms_tmp/ "C:/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/"


Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Besides those mentioned there's also:

1)  MSCompanion. It's relatively new and I've not had occasion to use
it but it might be worth checking out.

2) Camptocamp's MapFish Studio has a mapfile builder as well...

Message-ID: <BAY121-W92A34A5A57E21F58CF019D0220@phx.gbl>


Hi all,



I am trying to compile GDAL-1.6.1 with lipdap 3.8.2:

./configure --with-threads --with-ogr --with-geos --without-libtool --with-proj=/tools/share/COTS/proj-4.6.1
--without-python --without-perl --with-libtiff=internal --with-geotiff=internal

--with-pg=/usr/bin/pg_config --with-dods-root=/var/tmp/www/libdap-3.8.2 --without-ogdi
--without-geos --prefix=/var/tmp/www/gdal-1.6.1

But I always get the error:

/var/tmp/www/gdal-1.6.1/libgdal.so: undefined reference to `libdap::DAS::DAS(libdap::AttrTable*, unsigned int)'

Who can help me figure it out? Thanks a lot.

Wonder if it's the same issue as with the polygon size you noted. Even though the shield
is a rect it's rendered as a polygon. Thomas, should polygons be drawn with an outline
same as the fill color if no outline color is specifiied?

Hi Steve and everyone,

The images below are from Mapserver 5.2.0 (left) and 5.4.1 (right) of the
same map using AGG. Please note the difference in the size of the road
shields (green shields).  

The following are images from the same servers (Mapserver 5.2.0 (left) and
5.4.1 (right)) of the same map (different zoom) using GD.  Please note that
the two maps are practically the same.

The complete map-file used for the first example is attached to this e-mail.
The parts of it specific to the issue are like that:

 

    OUTPUTFORMAT

        NAME AGG_PNG

        DRIVER AGG/PNG

        MIMETYPE  "image/png"

        IMAGEMODE RGB

        EXTENSION  "png"

        #FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=TRUE"

        #FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/var/www/html/maps_gypsii/palette.txt"

        FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"

    END

 

and

        CLASS

            EXPRESSION /^E/

            LABEL

                PRIORITY 4

                PARTIALS false

                MINFEATURESIZE 10

                MINDISTANCE 300

                COLOR 255 255 255

                BACKGROUNDCOLOR 128 208 100

                BACKGROUNDSHADOWCOLOR 81 145 58

                ANGLE 0

                BUFFER 2

                FONT arial-bold

                TYPE truetype

                SIZE 7

            END

        END

 

The difference for the second examples is in the output format used:

 

    OUTPUTFORMAT

        NAME PNG

        DRIVER GD/PNG

        MIMETYPE  "image/png"

        IMAGEMODE RGB

        EXTENSION  "png"

        #FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=TRUE"

        #FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"

        FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/var/www/html/maps_gypsii/palette.txt"

        FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"

    END

 

Many thanks,

Nick

Subject: [mapserver-users] Performance in regular expressions or an
 alternative way to select a list of features
Message-ID: <4A5C2277.80204@romtelecom.ro>

Hello everyone,

Here's my problem: I'm trying to highlight segments from a line layer by 
using an expression in a specific class. This portion of the mapfile is 
dynamically generated and when it is done, it is sent to mapserver for 
rendering.
My problem is that I have to select between 10 - 400 features at a time 
and I noticed when I have a lot of features there is a severe 
performance degradation in mapserver (takes a lot of time to render or 
even times out).
Right now, my expression is built using regular expressions: something like:
*EXPRESSION /^ITEM1$|^ITEM2$|^ITEM3$|^ITEM4$/*
This works ok, but as I said has a performance penalty when you reach 
~400 items.  My data is selected from a shapefile layer which has about 
5500 items.

Since I wouldn't be using the regular expressions at full capacity (I'm 
matching the full name), I might rewrite the expression using something 
like:
*EXPRESSION ( ([NAME]=="ITEM1") OR ([NAME]=="ITEM2") OR 
([NAME]=="ITEM3") OR ([NAME]=="ITEM4") )*

 From the documentation I see that:
/Regular expression with MapServer work similarly to string comparison, 
but allow more complex operation. They are slower than pure string 
comparisons, but might be still faster than logical expression. As with 
the string comparison use regular expressions, a FILTERITEM or a 
CLASSITEM has to defined, respectively.

/I would like to know if there is an efficient way of selecting a list 
of elements from a layer, or what are your recommendations.

Also - have there been significant changes in performance for this issue 
from mapserver 4.10 (I am now migrating to mapserver 5.4)?

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

 

I have used long EXPRESSION list in the past, but my data are "static", so
eventually I modified the map data and removed the polygons I didn't want to
render.

 

I could suggest to you to use in your map file several LAYERs or CLASSes to
"spread around" long EXPRESSION lists. Those LAYERs or CLASSes would be
identical but for the EXPRESSION lists.  You could put a limit of let's say
10 selected features per CLASS definition.

 

Best regards,

Nick

Hello Nikolai,

As far as you know - the Layers/Classes are processed in paralel 
(threads)? Would it even be more efficient not to use expressions, but 
to use simple string matchings and dynamically generate 10-400 Classes 
in a layer (one class per item)?

What would be the best/most scalable approach?

Thank you,
Adrian

Hi Mark

Thanks for the reply.  But I am already putting the projection
information in three places arent I?

MAP

PROJECTION
 "init=epsg:27700"
END

WEB
 METADATA
"http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=example.map&"
   WMS_SRS "EPSG:27700 ESPG:4326"
 END
END

 LAYER
       NAME "layer"
       CONNECTION "http://externalwmshost/&"
       CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
       METADATA
               "wms_srs"                       "EPSG:27700"
        END
  END

The external WMS only supports 27700 - thats why I want to reproject
in my mapserver instance.

Any other clues?

Thanks

Rob

Hi everyone,
		 We are using mapserver 5.4 with openlayers 2.7 and tilecache 2.10. Mapserver is running as a CGI application.
             
             Our data are in planar coordinates ,and since we are using mapserver as a WMS server and a WFS server we must set a projection in the mapfile.
             We are cheating mapserver and setting a fake projection in order to make WFS and WMS features work.
             When we use mapserver via mapscript ( using tilecache ) the results are what we expected.
              The problem arises when we try to invoke mapserver via wms.
Those layers that have  maxscale , minscale ,etc setted are not drawed or don?t behave as expected.
              We are running in a lot of problems to make the application works ( not listed in this post) and all of them would easily solved if mapserver supported CRS:1 or SRS=NONE.
              The only reference I found regarding this topic  was the  ticket #485 from 2003 and mentioned in the MS RFC 30: Support for WMS 1.3.0.
               
              I will really appreciate if someone could tell me if there is  a chance that this feature will be added in a (near) future version of mapserver . Or if there exist some guidelines to workaround this.
            
             Thanks in advance . regards.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Backgrounds and Graticules in Pseudo-cylindrical
	Projections
Message-ID: <00151750ed981f591c046ea9c767@google.com>

I am using MapServer to create some web maps using equal area projections.  
Most of these are pseudo-cylindrical, and I am currently using Mollweide  
for the initial development.

This works fine and I even have it working with WMS to OpenLayers  
(OpenLayers and adding layers from different projections is a different  
kettle of fish, but I've asked that question elsewhere!).

With a projection like this, a zoomed out map has two areas: projected  
space, and non-projected space. Ie. the projected globe does not take up  
the entire map "canvas".
To me, this means we have two background colors: the background for the  
shapes in projected space, and the true background of non-projected space.  
I hope that makes sense?
I'll try with a real world example. I have a layer that shows land masses.  
This is green. The mapfile is set to have a blue background (for the  
oceans). These are being drawn correctly, but the blue is also used for  
areas outside the projected globe.

Is it possible to specify a different color (or "transparent") for the area  
outside the projected globe?
The best idea I have is that I create a new layer of three shapes that  
cover the entire globe completely. This would be drawn as blue as the  
lowest layer in the mapfile, and the mapfile's background would be set to  
white. Is there a more efficient way?

I would also like to add a geographic graticule (ie. meridians and  
parallels). I've tried the GRID definition in the mapserver map file, but  
this simply draws a cartesian grid in projected space. Can this be done in  
MapServer? I guess I could again solve this with a new layer of shapes.  
Otherwise it is OpenLayers (with a dev version of a graticule control, or  
more likely - write my own code)

Adrian, 
 
One method that I have used is to use an IN statement in my expression
and then use a variable to populate the list of IDs in the statement.  
 
I create a class like this:
 
 CLASS
       NAME "Low"
       EXPRESSION ('[COUNTY_FIP]' in '%group1%')
       OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0   
       COLOR 255 204 204
    END
 
And then in the URL calling the map, I include &group1=27001,27003,27005
 
I actually use this with five classes (five different URL vars) to
create a thematic map of counties based entirely on data passed in
through the URL.  
 
I have no idea on how the performance of this method compares to what
you have done, but it might be worth a try.  There are only 87 counties
in Minnesota, so that is the largest number it gets, but the performance
isn't bad.

	Hello everyone,
	
	Here's my problem: I'm trying to highlight segments from a line
layer by using an expression in a specific class. This portion of the
mapfile is dynamically generated and when it is done, it is sent to
mapserver for rendering. 
	My problem is that I have to select between 10 - 400 features at
a time and I noticed when I have a lot of features there is a severe
performance degradation in mapserver (takes a lot of time to render or
even times out).
	Right now, my expression is built using regular expressions:
something like:
	EXPRESSION /^ITEM1$|^ITEM2$|^ITEM3$|^ITEM4$/
	This works ok, but as I said has a performance penalty when you
reach ~400 items.  My data is selected from a shapefile layer which has
about 5500 items.
	
	Since I wouldn't be using the regular expressions at full
capacity (I'm matching the full name), I might rewrite the expression
using something like:
	EXPRESSION ( ([NAME]=="ITEM1") OR ([NAME]=="ITEM2") OR
([NAME]=="ITEM3") OR ([NAME]=="ITEM4") )
	
	From the documentation I see that:
	Regular expression with MapServer work similarly to string
comparison, but allow more complex operation. They are slower than pure
string comparisons, but might be still faster than logical expression.
As with the string comparison use regular expressions, a FILTERITEM or a
CLASSITEM has to defined, respectively.
	
	I would like to know if there is an efficient way of selecting a
list of elements from a layer, or what are your recommendations.
	
	Also - have there been significant changes in performance for
this issue from mapserver 4.10 (I am now migrating to mapserver 5.4)?
	
	Thanks,
	Adrian

Is it possible to switch WFS layers on/off on a zoom basis in the same 
way as you can with WMS layers?
If I specify the individual layers in my request, the layer is returned, 
regardless of zoom, and if I request the group name, I get Typename 
doesn't exist error.
Should this work,  and if so what am I doing wrong?

Cheers!

There is no concept of zoom or scale in the WFS spec... that's why the 
min/max scaledenom are ignored. Not a MapServer problem, it's the way 
WFS works.

Have you tried a simplified version of your regex? I think you can do:

  EXPRESSION /^ITEM1|ITEM2|ITEM3|ITEM4$/

You might also consider writing a temporary set of geometries if a user will continually display from
that set. In that case your overhead would be in managing the set of features which would be higher
the first time but then very fast to render. Your dynamic portion of the mapfile would reference the
temporary data.

The way I would approach this would be to generate a physical
graticule. That is, an actual polygonal lat/lon grid on the spacing
desired and with vertex densification between the corners. The
polygons can then be added and projected, color filled for the effect
you want, and the outlines highlighted (or not) to form a graticule.

	(MS 5.4.1 and C#)
Message-ID: <3ead4aba0907140841t7ccce1cejacec034975a44c78@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, there.

I'm experiencing some troubles with the new release of MapServer. You may
take a quick look at the excerpt of code bellow:


if (ret == (int)MS_RETURN_VALUE.MS_SUCCESS)
{
    resultCacheObj results = layer.getResults();

    for (int i = 0; i < results.numresults; i++)
    {
        int shpidx = results.getResult(i).shapeindex;

        layer.open();
        shapeObj shape = layer.getFeature(shpidx, -1);
        layer.close();
        ...

But I got the following while debugging that (Visual Studio IDE):

results.getResult(0)
{OSGeo.MapServer.resultCacheMemberObj}
    classindex: 0
    shapeindex: 1
    tileindex: -1
results.getResult(1)
{OSGeo.MapServer.resultCacheMemberObj}
    classindex: 1
    shapeindex: 1
    tileindex: -1
results.getResult(2)
{OSGeo.MapServer.resultCacheMemberObj}
    classindex: 0
    shapeindex: 1
    tileindex: -1

The new version of MapServer auto-increments the index property of a feature
as soon as it's added to a layer (unlike older releases). I know there's a
couple of shape.setValue() and shape.getValue() functions one may use to
store and recover values, but I'm not able to get the actual index value
(unlike this, my classindex values are correct).

am I missing or doing something wrong? It used to work fine before the last
release (namely, the auto-incremented shape.index property).

I've posted a little bit more detailed investigations of the above
here<http://cubicpurunga.blogspot.com/2009/07/shapeobjindex-round-two-fight.html>and
here <http://cubicpurunga.blogspot.com/2009/07/shapeobjindex-in-ms-5x.html>in
my blog.

I'd really appreciate if anyone could spend some time to help me with that.
If you need more details, just let me know.

Thank you very much. Best regards,

I used QGIS to create a mapfile, and it generated this:

PROJECTION

   'ellps=WGS84'
   'datum=WGS84'
   'no_defs'
   ''
END

I was kind of thinking this (Thanks to FrankW for helping me find the 
right epsg code):

PROJECTION
  'init=epsg:3417'
END


Is the first one even right?  Would there be a difference?  Why might I 
choose one over the other?  I'm going to put this into postgis, with 
srid = 3417, will that make any difference.  (I'd like to avoid 
re-projections.. I think... don't I?)

Hi, there.

I'm experiencing some troubles with the new release of MapServer. You may
take a quick look at the excerpt of code bellow:


if (ret == (int)MS_RETURN_VALUE.MS_SUCCESS)
{
    resultCacheObj results = layer.getResults();

    for (int i = 0; i < results.numresults; i++)
    {
        int shpidx = results.getResult(i).shapeindex;

        layer.open();
        shapeObj shape = layer.getFeature(shpidx, -1);
        layer.close();
        ...

But I got the following while debugging that (Visual Studio IDE):

results.getResult(0)
{OSGeo.MapServer.resultCacheMemberObj}
    classindex: 0
    shapeindex: 1
    tileindex: -1
results.getResult(1)
{OSGeo.MapServer.resultCacheMemberObj}
    classindex: 1
    shapeindex: 1
    tileindex: -1
results.getResult(2)
{OSGeo.MapServer.resultCacheMemberObj}
    classindex: 0
    shapeindex: 1
    tileindex: -1

The new version of MapServer auto-increments the index property of a feature
as soon as it's added to a layer (unlike older releases). I know there's a
couple of shape.setValue() and shape.getValue() functions one may use to
store and recover values, but I'm not able to get the actual index value
(unlike this, my classindex values are correct).

am I missing or doing something wrong? It used to work fine before the last
release (namely, the auto-incremented shape.index property).

I've posted a little bit more detailed investigations of the above
here<http://cubicpurunga.blogspot.com/2009/07/shapeobjindex-round-two-fight.html>and
here <http://cubicpurunga.blogspot.com/2009/07/shapeobjindex-in-ms-5x.html>in

I'd really appreciate if anyone could spend some time to help me with that.

Thank you very much. Best regards,

I am Ryan Nestor, of Monadnock Media in Sunderland, MA, USA.   We are looking
for an experienced Mapserver developer to configure a server for us.  We
plan on putting together a system which will serve watershed data as well as
DEMs and several other layers.  The final product is a computer interactive
for an educational museum environment.  If you are interested, please email
me at the below address.

Paul,

Assuming the desired coordinates are in the same spatial reference system as
the layer you could use mapObj.setCenter and mapObj.scaleExtent.

Hi,

In my understanding it's up to the driver how the index is specified and it
's not safe to expose the setter of the shape index value. The most trivial
option of setting the indexes to different values by the driver is to
increment the index in each addfeature for the inline layers. Otherwise the
shapes cannot be distinguished in the query result sets.

Best regards,

Tamas

the previous versions of mapserver (incorrectly I think) used the
value of the label buffer to expand the background billboard. You'd
get nice results whith a 1 or 2 px buffer like in your case, but
unusable ones when you added larger buffers.

I hope we can work around this for 5.6 with the possible label style rewrite.

Hello David,

I wasn't aware of the "IN" syntax. It looks cleaner, and hopefully will 
be better. I think in the end I will try all sollutions and see which 
one is the fastest for a given (large) expression.

Thangs again,
Adrian

Hello Steve,

I haven't tried out the simplified regex so I don't know if it will be 
faster. I will try to test it as part of a speed test of the various 
methods...

I'm not sure what you mean by writing a temporary set of geometries. Do 
you mean adding an index to my data so that I can select it by a 
different (grouping) field instead? Unfortunately I can't do that 
because the same item can be part of 10-20 groups, so there would not be 
an easy way to group items apart from duplicating them in the 
shapefile/dbf. I'm not sure if there's a problem if the same feature 
appears 12 times in the same shapefile.

In the end data reorganizing might be the fastest method available. 
Problem is some items will belong to groups dinamically, so I will have 
to implement a selection mechanism based on item id...

Regards,
Adrian

Subject: [mapserver-users] Displaying a string instead of a label
Message-ID: <4A5D7514.5060002@romtelecom.ro>

Hi everybody,

Can someone point me to the relevant part of the documentation/example 
that shows how to display a static string (set at the layer level) for a 
layer instead of displaying a label? Does 'annotation' have anything to 
do with this?

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Thomas,

Please note, that this Mapserver behaviour (correct or incorrect) still
exists in 5.4.1 version, when the GD library is used.  The change of
behaviour affects the rendering of the background when AGG library is used.

Also, in the documentation, the use of BACKGROUNDCOLOR is regarded as
creating a "billboard" effect.  It would be nice to have capability to
control the size (and appearance) of this "billboard", which seems to exist
in the older 5.2.0 version, but have been partially removed in the new 5.4.1
version.

The other point was about the rendering of polygons. I would suggest to put
some kind of a note or explanation for the 5.4.1 version, that when the
OUTLINECOLOR is not specified, the polygon will be one pixel smaller in size
in all directions, from the real one and to avoid this, the OUTLINECOLOR
needs to be always defined either with the same colour as the rest of the
polygon or with another desired colour.

Best regards,
Nick

the previous versions of mapserver (incorrectly I think) used the
value of the label buffer to expand the background billboard. You'd
get nice results whith a 1 or 2 px buffer like in your case, but
unusable ones when you added larger buffers.

I hope we can work around this for 5.6 with the possible label style
rewrite.

Thanks for your reply.

 

 

 

I have set up the IMAGEPATH and IMAGE URL as you have suggested and i can now view the outline of my map however it is in red. As you suggested is is probably my projection which i causing this. Any ideas what the correct projection setting might be?

 

Thanks again

 

Paul

Hi Adrian,

You can set the TEXT property of the CLASS object like this :

CLASS
  NAME "departement"
  LABEL
    ANGLE 0.000000
    ANTIALIAS TRUE
    FONT "Arial"
    MAXSIZE 256
    MINSIZE 4
    SIZE 8
    TYPE TRUETYPE
    BUFFER 0
    COLOR 0 0 0
    FORCE FALSE
    MINDISTANCE -1
    MINFEATURESIZE -1
    OFFSET 1 1
    PARTIALS TRUE
    POSITION CC
    SHADOWCOLOR 0 0 0
  END
  STYLE
    ANGLE 360
    COLOR 232 246 9
    OPACITY 100
    SIZE 10
    SYMBOL "Carre"
  END
  TEXT "my static text"
END

It will override the label. You don't need CLASSITEM, LABELITEM, 
LABELMAXSCALEDENOM and LABELMINSCADENOM but you need the LABEL object.
The documentation is here : http://mapserver.org/mapfile/class.html

/TEXT [string]/
    /Static text to label features in this class with. This overrides
    values obtained from the LABELTIEM. The string may be given as an
    expression delimited using the ()?s. This allows you to concatenate
    multiple attributes into a single label. For example:
    ([FIRSTNAME],[LASTNAME])./


I think you can set the TEXT property on classical layer types such as 
POLYGON, LINE, POINT, not only ANNOTATION.
If you use ANNOTATION, then the text will be placed at the centroid of 
the polygon of the middle of the line.

Regards,

Hi

Paul,

   The PROJECTION in the MAP portion refers to your desired output map 
projection.  It's whatever you want it to be.  The EXTENT values (and UNITS) 
must be relevant for your chosen projection.

Paul, 
 
Your polygon data is red because you are telling MapServer to color it
red.  
 
In the class in your layer 'map' (probably not a great layer or class
name), you are using a style to color your polygons.  
 
    CLASS
       NAME 'map'
       STYLE
         COLOR 255 0 0
       END
       LABEL 
   TYPE bitmap
    END
    END

You have set the value of the color property to be 255 0 0.  Colors are
set as RGB (Red Green Blue) triplets.  In that line, you are saying,
'color it with the full amount of red and don't use any green or blue'.
 
If you change the value to 0 0 255, you will see blue polygons.  
 
For an easy way to come up with prettier colors, take a look at
ColorBrewer:
http://www.personal.psu.edu/cab38/ColorBrewer/ColorBrewer_intro.html
 
David.

For testing your mapfile, just use the shp2img commandline utility, 
included in MS4W (http://www.mapserver.org/utilities/shp2img.html).

Make sure the EXTENT parameter is set to the extents of your shapefile - 
you can use the ogrinfo utility (also included in MS4W) to grab the 
shp's extents.  I would also remove all projection objects, if you only 
have one layer.

Also, I don't understand what data your layer consists of.  Are you 
saying that the shapefile is an indexfile of the extents of the tiffs? 
(if yes, note that all the tools you needed to create it are also 
included in MS4W)

If you have any questions about the tools in MS4W feel free to fire an 
email to its mailing list: 
http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users

Since I have seen you asking MS4W questions before, you're best examples 
will be in the MS4W add-on packages that you can download for MS4W.  (I 
recommend studying one of the mapfiles in the "PHP/MapScript Sample 
Application", and you can even just use its font files.

If you have any questions about using MS4W add-on packages or MS4W 
configuration, please send questions to its mailing list at:

Ahh, so QGIS didn't export a projection that matched my data.  (I assume 
its a default that it always exports...)

Heh.. that's one of those answers that brings up more questions.  But 
google is helping me out.

Thanks for the help,

I'm on 10.5 and never played with 10.4, but I'll see if I can help as it's all just UNIX, right? :-)

I'm also assuming that your directory definition was not copied, pasted and emailed correctly so the superfluous "\" are not really in that file.

Have you checked the permissions on the directory itself?  It may not be possible for the apache user to cd into the directory where the cgi-bin directory resides.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Java mapscript on Linux
Message-ID: <011b01ca0571$11b74ff0$a301a8c0@avantias.local>

Hello,

 

I?m trying to deploy on Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) a Java application that uses
mapscript.

 

And I can?t find any libmapscript.so for Java (Ubuntu has some packages for
Perl, Python PhP but not Java). Is there any other choice than getting the
source code and compile it?

 

(I believe that mapscript for PhP5 won?t contain the correct JNI headers to
be used by mapscript.jar)

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I am afraid you have to compile java mapscript from the sources.

Good luck,
Umberto

Hello ^^

I?ve defined a Marker layer like that:
 LAYER
  NAME MarkerLayer
  TYPE POINT
  FEATURE
  END
  STATUS ON
  TEMPLATE "dummy"
  CLASS
   SYMBOL "circle"
   SIZE 15
   COLOR 255 120 0
  END
 END


Now, with mapscript I add several points (with method addFeature) ...
How can I delete that points?

There's no such function at the moment, the only chance is to remove and
re-create the entire layer in order to remove all features.

Hi,

no you can also use OpenLayers.Layer.Mapserver, but this is not the
recommended way.

Mapserver has  a native CGI interface, e.g. stuff like
mapserv?map=/mymap.map&layers=all&mode=map

But there is also a standard way of getting maps out of a web mapping
server, and this is called WMS.

The parameters are then something like:
mapserv?map=/mymap.map&service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=mylayer1,mylayer2&styles=,&bbox=......
etc.

Setting up a WMS with Mapserver is quite easy, check the Mapserver WMS
Server HOWTO on the website. It just requires a few extra entries in the
MAP file.

http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html

Also check the OpenLayers tutorial by OpenGeo:

http://workshops.opengeo.org/openlayers-intro/

Best regards,
Bart

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problems with non-square pixels
Message-ID: <1247743602628-3268002.post@n2.nabble.com>


Hi everybody,

we have problems with one of our WMS services.
The wms services delivers a map for our printing tool.
Map extents from A1-A4 are working fine and fast.
As a example try these two wms requests:

http://www.sogis1.so.ch/cgi-bin/sogis/sogis_print_test.wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/jpeg&LAYERS=Orthofoto&STYLES=&TRANSPARENT=true&BBOX=605110.844342816,226276.93355594442,609035.4971205938,229116.79466705554&WIDTH=6181&HEIGHT=4472&SRS=EPSG:21781
A1 landscape 

http://www.sogis1.so.ch/cgi-bin/sogis/sogis_print_test.wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/jpeg&LAYERS=Orthofoto&STYLES=&TRANSPARENT=true&BBOX=605653.2401761494,225734.5377226111,608493.1012872604,229659.19050038885&WIDTH=4472&HEIGHT=6181&SRS=EPSG:21781
A1 portrait 

But with A0 map extent we have problems.
Landscape is still working fine. Try this wms request. The map should be
displayed after ca. 10 seconds in your browser.

http://www.sogis1.so.ch/cgi-bin/sogis/sogis_print_test.wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/jpeg&LAYERS=Orthofoto&STYLES=&TRANSPARENT=true&BBOX=604241.2471205938,225659.57244483332,609905.094342816,229734.15577816663&WIDTH=8921&HEIGHT=6417&SRS=EPSG:21781
A0 landscape 

In contrast portrait needs now much longer than landscape. From A1-A4 it
needs exactly the same time.

Try this wms request

http://www.sogis1.so.ch/cgi-bin/sogis/sogis_print_test.wms?SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&FORMAT=image/jpeg&LAYERS=Orthofoto&STYLES=&TRANSPARENT=true&BBOX=605035.8790650383,224864.94050038885,609110.4623983715,230528.7877226111&WIDTH=6417&HEIGHT=8921&SRS=EPSG:21781
A0 portrait 

This request needs over 1 minute.
It seems that mapserver gets in the non-square pixels mode for this request.
See the outcome of the Debugger for the request

[Thu Jul 16 11:59:59 2009].111090 msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): enabling
non-square pixels.[Thu Jul 16 11:59:59 2009].452278 msDrawMap(): kicking

[Thu Jul 16 12:01:41 2009].956896 msFreeMap(): freeing map at 0x82c1688.

In all the other wms requests mapserver does not enable non square pixels

[Thu Jul 16 13:00:47 2009].107521 msDrawRasterLayerLow(Orthofoto07):
entering.
[Thu Jul 16 13:00:49 2009].925029 msDrawMap(): Layer 1 (Orthofoto07), 2.818s
[Thu Jul 16 13:00:49 2009].925076 msDrawMap(): Drawing Label Cache, 0.000s
[Thu Jul 16 13:00:49 2009].925085 msDrawMap() total time: 3.160s

[Thu Jul 16 13:00:52 2009].544066 mapserv request processing time (msLoadMap
not incl.): 5.787s
[Thu Jul 16 13:00:52 2009].544073 msFreeMap(): freeing map at 0x8486740.

So the question for me is: Why is this happening?
I think the ratio is OK. Width and height are the same. I only swap them
between portrait and landscape.
I've tried with CONFIG "MS_NONSQUARE" NO and with CONFIG "MS_NONSQUARE" YES
but nothing changed

Any help is much appreciated.

We're using MapServer 5.2.1 with an apache server on Linux
I've attached the mapfile of the WMS.

http://n2.nabble.com/file/n3268002/wms_print_test.map wms_print_test.map 

The relevant layers are Orthofoto07 and Orthofoto5m

thx for the help

Michael

Subject: [mapserver-users] Dynamic Label Size
Message-ID: <1247746900943-3268099.post@n2.nabble.com>


Hi

A couple of weeks ago, i posted a question about dynamically changing the
label field through the URL. Steve pointed me to the answer of using a
VALIDATION pattern and Substitution. This worked very well. 

I am now in another instance needing to look at changing the label size.

I have tried adding a "size" validation pattern -i.e.:
 VALIDATION 
       'size' '^7|8|9|10|11|12$' 
    END

 as well as tried "map.layer[Compartments].class[0].label[0]=SIZE+10"

both to no joy

Could some please lead me in the right direction

Thanks in advance
Andrew

Subject: [mapserver-users] wfs getcapabilities doesn't use namespace in
	featuretype's name?
Message-ID: <e750b12e0907160634s1aeaffbekadcbbbee0aafc007@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I am wondering why mapserver doesn't specify a featuretypes name with
it's namespace in the getcapabilities response (e.g. the default "ms"
namespace)? I have tested it with the latest 5.4.1 version, neither
wfs 1.0 nor 1.1 do that. Is this intended behaviour? Because as far as
i read in the specs, it should output the namespace qualified name of
the feature type.

Any clarification is appreciated.

Cheers, Michael

Message-ID: <2c4bbbeb0907161008x574bd4d9w6b114fab9296bece@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm trying to build Mapserver 5.4.1 against AGG 2.4 with Python Mapscript on
Centos 5 and I'm having some trouble.

I followed the instructions on
http://mapserver.org/installation/unix.htmland modified the
Makefile.in.Linux of AGG to include the -fPIC option to
support mapscript.  AGG seems to build libagg.a just fine in the src
directory.

When I build mapserver against that version of AGG, it compiles fine and so
do the python bindings.  However, when I install and try to use mapscript in
python, I get an error when I try to import the mapscript module:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_mapscript.so: undefined
symbol: _ZN3agg12g_sqrt_tableE

This appears to be an error due to the -fPIC option not being specified in
the AGG build, which I've done.

Are there any other steps that must be done to successfully compile
Mapserver against AGG to get the python bindings to work?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

 

Mapserver 5.2.0 and later versions build successfully with AGG 2.5 !!!  So I
would suggest, as the best option for you, to get AGG 2.5 and then build AGG
and Mapserver.

 

Best regards,

Nick

Hi all,

I'm trying to build Mapserver 5.4.1 against AGG 2.4 with Python Mapscript on
Centos 5 and I'm having some trouble.

I followed the instructions on http://mapserver.org/installation/unix.html
and modified the Makefile.in.Linux of AGG to include the -fPIC option to
support mapscript.  AGG seems to build libagg.a just fine in the src
directory.

When I build mapserver against that version of AGG, it compiles fine and so
do the python bindings.  However, when I install and try to use mapscript in
python, I get an error when I try to import the mapscript module:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_mapscript.so: undefined
symbol: _ZN3agg12g_sqrt_tableE

This appears to be an error due to the -fPIC option not being specified in
the AGG build, which I've done.

Are there any other steps that must be done to successfully compile
Mapserver against AGG to get the python bindings to work?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Nick,

I've also tried AGG 2.5 and get the same result.  I can build it just fine,
its just that the Python bindings don't work correctly.

Thanks,

Jason

When you do a make, if you scroll back up into the output do you see 
-fpic on the command line?

You say you modified Makefile.in.Linux?  Do you use the automake stuff?

I didnt, I used the normal Makefile, which includes src/Makefile.  I 
modified src/Makefile and changed:

CXXFLAGS= $(AGGCXXFLAGS) -I../include -L./

to

CXXFLAGS= $(AGGCXXFLAGS) -fPIC -I../include -L./

and then just did:

make

Hi Andy,

I tried modifying both the Makefile.in.Linux as well as the regular
makefile.  I can see -fPIC on the command line, so it appears to be doing
what I want, but I still get the same error in both cases.

Did you build mapserver with agg first, before mapscript?  I'm using the 
perl stuff, but saw a similar error.  I went back and did a 'make clean' 
and make for each of agg, mapserver and then mapscript/perl.  (in that 
order)

Otherwise, I'm afraid I dunno...

Nick,

Thanks for your suggestion of updating to AGG 2.5 from rpm forge!  Doing so
gave me a nice shared library of AGG and I've got my mapscript Python
working now, thanks!

>From what I've been reading on the mailing list, there are talks of just
including AGG directly into the Mapserver source, which would be wonderful.
The less dependencies the better :)

Thanks again!

Jason

Yes, version 5.6 or 6.0, whatever it's called, will include the agg
tree, in a hope to cut down on the multiple problems that folks were
having with compiling agg correctly. you can already try it out by
using a trunk version of mapserver and report back to us if any
problems arise.

Michael,

There seems to be a modest difference in the aspect ratio of the BBOX
and the SIZE in the given request. The logic in mapwms.c that tests whether
non-square mode needs to be used looks like this:

   /* Check whether requested BBOX and width/height result in non-square pixels
    */
   nonsquare_enabled = msTestConfigOption( map, "MS_NONSQUARE", MS_FALSE );
   if (!nonsquare_enabled)
   {
       double dx, dy, reqy;
       dx = MS_ABS(map->extent.maxx - map->extent.minx);
       dy = MS_ABS(map->extent.maxy - map->extent.miny);

       reqy = ((double)map->width) * dy / dx;

       /* Allow up to 1 pixel of error on the width/height ratios. */
       /* If more than 1 pixel then enable non-square pixels */
       if ( MS_ABS((reqy - (double)map->height)) > 1.0 )
       {
           if (map->debug)
               msDebug("msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): enabling non-square pixels.\n");
           msSetConfigOption(map, "MS_NONSQUARE", "YES");
           nonsquare_enabled = MS_TRUE;
       }
   }

I suspect the asymmetry is just enough to amount more than one pixel at
this size.  I didn't run all the numbers but I suspect at smaller paper
sizes (smaller SIZE values) the assymmetry amounts to less than one pixel.
I'm not sure why it would affect portrait and not landscape.  I only ran
the ratios on the case you mentioned was slow.

So there are a couple of possibilities here.

  1) It is possible the above computation is wrong.  I vaguely recall there
     is an issue with map->extent actually being from the center of edge
     pixel to the center of edge pixel, not the outer edges, in which case
     the calculation should perhaps be:
       reqy = MS_ABS(((map->width - 1) * dy / dx) + 1);
     which might or might not make a difference in this case.

  2) Perhaps you just need to generate your WMS requests with more precise
     BBOXes corresponding to the aspect ratio of the SIZE requested.

Well, I'm sure there could be other possibilities too.

Best regards,

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapScript ShapFileObj
Message-ID: <4A5F8F2E.1010707@rogers.com>

I have a quick question about the ShapeFileObj class in PHP mapscript
then I'd like to throw out an offer and see who wants to take me up on it.

First my question. I'm trying to write a quick data exporter. The
general process is, query a spatial database, loop through the results
and build a shapefile, export the shapefile. I'm not having any run-time
failures but my result has only .SHP, .SHX files.  When I look at the
shapefile in ogrinfo I see my points but no projection,  and when I use
ogr2ogr to add a projection I see that there's no attribute
information...only the points.

My code looks similar to this:

// Open map object
$map = ms_newmapobj($mapPath);
$layer = $map->getLayerByName($layerName);

// Create shapefileobj with random name
$rnd = time();
$filePath = "C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\tmp\\Extract\\$rnd";
$fileName = $filePath . "somename"; // no extension

$oShapeFile = ms_newShapefileObj($fileName, $layerType); // assume
MS_SHP_POINT for this example

$status = $layer->open();
$status = $layer->whichShapes($map->extent);
while ($shape = $layer->nextShape())
{  
    $id = $shape->values[$idField];
    echo "Adding shape with ID = $id\n";
    $oShapeFile->addShape($shape);  
    $shape->free();
}
$layer->close();
$oShapeFile->free();

// zip up and return to browser

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Now my offer.  I usually get by with the available documentation and a
decent archive of old projects to compare from. The documentation for
this object is pretty sparse:
http://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html#shapefileobj-class  The
SWIG api doc looks about the same. I'd like to put together an example
for each class function to flesh out the doc. If there are a lot of
interested participants we could do all the classes,  but for now I'll
start with ShapeFileObj.  If there's something like this on the go
already, let me know how I can help.

Thanks,

Josh Hevenor

Most scripting languages have nice DBF interface modules already so we elected to leverage those
instead of writing one.  So, you'd need to find your favorite for PHP and use that to initialize a table
and add records. It's probably just a few additional lines of code as you've done most of the hard
work already.

Also, any one willing to help with documentation would be most welcome! (Should take that offer
to mapserver-dev...)

The nonsquare_enabled check is occurring *before* the WMS bbox (in map->extent) is converted
to the MapServer extent model so I believe the code is correct. I'd lean towards option 2 below.

Message-ID: <9C37154DC7C8074FBC34214363755B7C330883@ITB-SVR-01.itbeyond.local>

I am developing a new application and am rendering around a load of
graphic symbol layers using a Map file layer such as

LAYER

    NAME        cape_headland_point

    STATUS      ON

    GROUP       all

    DATA        'ExplorOz/Places/Cape,Headland,Point'

    TYPE        POINT

    SYMBOLSCALE 1000000

    CLASS

        STYLE

            SYMBOL [POIImage]

            MAXSIZE 15

            MINSIZE 4

            SIZE 8

        END

    END

    METADATA

          "wms_title"         "Capes, Headlands & Points"

      END

    PROJECTION

        "+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +no_defs"

    END

END

As you can see I am sizing the output symbol which is a 20x20px PIXMAP
image - this is working great however the position of the image needs to
be OFFSET up by half the size of the image (to make the actual point be
the center of the image) - I have tried using OFFSET however when the
image size changes (based on SYMBOLSCALE)the offsets are wrong. Is there
a way to OFFSET image symbols based on the SYMBOLSCALE and MAX/MIN
SIZES?

Regards

David

Hi,

thx for your answers.
It seems that possibility 2 solves the problem.
Although I can't understand wherefore this is only a problem for portrait and not for landscape.
Now we have the problem that we do need exactly this BBOX because we want to print a user given scale.
So is it possible to send a float width and height to mapserver or do we have to change the logic in mapwms.c?

thx

best regards

Michael

David,

unfortunately, OFFSET behaves exactly the way you are pointing out, that 
is, it doesn't scale because it's values are expressed in pixels no 
matter what SIZEUNITS or SYMBOLSCALE.

As to the task you would like to accomplish, though, what about making 
the image itself twice as tall and moving the symbol into the upper half 
of the image, thus having the center of your image located beneath the 
symbol itself? The image would still scale correctly and account for 
offsetting the symbol by itself.

Best regards,

David,

I've always seen Mapserver/AGG putting the PIXMAP symbol centered CC
onto the point geometry, and this seems to be confirmed by a quick look
at the code in mapagg.cpp.

I might add, though, that I always define a symbol for any PIXMAP in my
symbol file before using it in my mapfiles. If the path to the image is
given directly inside the mapfile or there's a binding to a field as in
your case, things might actually be different. Still, it would seem
quite odd to me...

Best regards,

RFC 45 suggests several rendering improvements for Mapserver,
including adding a tag (CENTER/ORIGIN) for specifying the
centre of a symbol.  This feature has, however, not been
given priority yet (there are workarounds for the most
important cases).

http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-45.html

--------------------------------------------------------------
CENTER/ORIGIN [x y]

Defines the centre of the symbol using decimal pixels (x axis increasing to the right, y axis increasing downwards).

     * Is used for placing a point symbol on the map or on a ?decorated? line
     * Defines the center of rotation if an ANGLE is specified for point symbols.
     * Default value is the centre of the symbol?s bounding box.
     * Applies to TYPE ellipse, vector, pixmap, truetype.

Here's how I "fixed" this issue. I ended up regenerating the shapefile 
and dbf and adding a separate column with the grouping I desired. Now, 
my map file selects from that column, and the syntax is much simpler (by 
one or two orders of magnitude). I am happy with the results, however, I 
didn't get the chance to try out all the other methods because of lack 
of time.

Thanks again,
Adrian

Message-ID: <COL101-W187CF2A7F80F96365B9F0EE91E0@phx.gbl>


Hi, i am having trouble trying to display my map in Open Layers via OpenLayers.Layer.wms.
 
 
Firstly I Built a shape file of the UK as a raster tileindex. I can now view my map via "//localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe/mymapfile.map" and the map looks fine.
I am now trying to view my map via OpenLayers. Firstly I used Openlayers.Layer.MapServer which displayed my map however zoomed in very close. However I have read Layer.Mapserver should be avoided and Layer.WMS should be used instead.  
 
I attempted to amend both my map and openlayers files to display via WMS by
Including:
 
METADATA 
      ?wms_srs? ?EPSG: 32119 EPSG: 4326?
END
 within the WEB section of my map file and adding OpenLayers.WMS within my OpenLayers file.
 
 
However I now get the following error message within the openlayers map window ?msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS Server Error?
 
I also added ?projection: "epsg: 32119 epsg:4326? into my openlayers file which hasn?t made any difference
 
Does anyone have any idea where I am going wrong? Any help greatly appreciated. My map and openlayers files are below.
 
Cheers

Hi,

there are several things wrong here.

'wms_srs' "epsg: 32119 epsg: 4326"

should be (uppercase EPSG for METADATA and no space in between):

'wms_srs' "EPSG:32119 EPSG:4326"

however Mapserver cannot reproject your data if you do not add a
PROJECTION block to your LAYER stating the projection in which your data
resides.

Also, in OpenLayers the syntax is (your map can only be in 1 projection):

{projection: "EPSG:32119"}

Best regards,
Bart

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

You mentioned adding a projection block to the layer.

 

Is that done by the following:

Sorry for my fat finger mistake. When I run a GetCapabilities request it results in the download of mapserv.exe. I

Paul,

If you are trying to serve your mapfile through WMS then you should 
follow this document: http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html

Also, you should read the following page on MapServer projection use: 
http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/projection.html

Subject: [mapserver-users] reprojected layer = changed min/max scale ?
Message-ID: <23D5759506D14051BD68FEDDB30E2F31@maunakea>

Hello

This is probably a silly question but I cant find an answer for it.

I have a mapfile with a given EPSG projection (EPSG:27582)
In this mapfile I have a WMS layer with a different projection (EPSG:4326)

when displayed, the max scale of the wms layer is different from the max 
scale value specified in the layer's definition in the mapfile

so I would like to know, when mapserver does the reprojection of the wms 
layer from EPSG:4326 to EPSG:27582, the min/max scale are also modified in 
the process ?

thanks in advance

Oliver

Michael,

It is not possible to send floating point WIDTH and HEIGHT values to
MapServer.  I'm not sure why you want the exact BBOX instead of adjusting
it a bit to reflect the actual aspect ratio of the raster requested, but
if you feel strongly about it just let things go into non-square pixel mode.

Hi All,


Here is a screen shot:

http://maps.camavision.com/map.jpg


There are, as far as I can tell, 4 lines.  The label is duplicating and 
I dont want it too.  Here is the layer from the mapfile:


	LAYER
		NAME annotate_pin
		TYPE line
		STATUS on
		CLASS
			NAME "HIGHLIGHT"
			STYLE
				COLOR 0 255 0
				OUTLINECOLOR 0 255 0
				WIDTH 3
			END
			LABEL
				TYPE truetype
				FONT "Vera"
				SIZE 10
				COLOR 0 0 0
				ANGLE follow
				POSITION auto
				BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 255
				MINDISTANCE 900
			END
		END
	END


I have played with MINDISTANCE from 0 to 99,000 and it does not seem to 
make a difference.  I googled a little but have not found a useful answer.

I am adding features to this layer in perl mapscript using something like:

	my $shape = new mapscript::shapeObj($mapscript::MS_SHAPE_LINE);
	$shape->add($line);
	$shape->{text} = sprintf('%.2f', $p1->distanceToPoint($p2));
	$shape->setBounds();
	$newlayer->addFeature($shape);


Any hints would be appreciated,

-Andy

If you want to use MINDISTANCE you have to set the SIZEUNITS parameter
at layer level like this:

LAYER
 ...
 SIZEUNITS meters # one of [pixels|feet|inches|kilometers|meters|miles]
 ...
 LABEL
  ...
  MINDISTANCE 500
  ...
 END
 ...
END

So the label wouldn't repeated for distances smaller than 500 meter.

That didn't seem to work.  It made all my fonts really small, but the 
labels still duped.

The help says layer.sizeUnits "Sets the unit of CLASS object SIZE", does 
that include label font size?

It defaults to pixels, yes?  Wouldnt a really big MINDISTANCE still have 
removed dups?

Do you have at MAP level the UNITS parameter?
[feet|inches|kilometers|meters|miles|dd]

Please try that, I should have told you that in my last reply ;)

also: which projection have you set at MAP level?

it sets the unit of the object size, not the size itself. The font size
is controlled by the SIZE parameter (LABEL object)

Not necessarily... Often they are different in orders of magnitude

Hi,
 
with a right click on the pink tile you can get the url of the image. Test
it in the browser and you should get an error message.
 
Perhaps it's the wrong parameter SRS (it's a wms parameter) or the absent
parameter map_projection (mapserver parameter).
 
You should also declare options for your map object. I think by default
OpenLayers uses EPSG:4326 with the extent -180,-90,180,90.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Geo-Referencing questions
Message-ID: <d5dc5b380907171403mf598a5epf8fbe7ebafbf6917@mail.gmail.com>

Alright, so after some great help last week from some people on this
listhost, I have mapserver up and running on my local apache webserver. Now,
however, I have tons of newbie questions, so sorry if these are painfully
obvious/ignorant. I've spent a lot of time reading through documentation,
and these are the things I still don't understand.

My goal right now for the project I'm working is to use a .jpeg of my
neighborhood, geo-reference it, and then get different "line" shapefiles
with all the different bus routes and shuttles up. I have a bunch of
questions in trying to accomplish this.

First of all, I downloaded HyperCube and used Google Earth to get four
longitude/latitude points that I could identify on my .jpeg of my
neighborhood. Then used the Image to Reference Coordinates utility on
HyperCube to add in this data, then resave this as a .tif.

I was sort of skeptical that this could actually make it a geo-referenced
TIFF file, so I called gdalinfo on it and got:

/gdalinfo /Library/WebServer/Documents/TrialCampusMap.tif
Warning 1: TIFFReadDirectoryCheckOrder:Invalid TIFF directory; tags are not
sorted in ascending order
Warning 1: TIFFFetchNormalTag:ASCII value for tag "GeoASCIIParams" does not
end in null byte

First of all -- what are the differences between the two different sets of
coordinates in parentheses for "upper left/ lower left.....etc". Next, is
this actually a GeoTiff? And moreover, what do I do with it now? I tried
displaying it as

        LAYER
                NAME "campusmap"
                TYPE RASTER
                STATUS ON
                DATA "TrialCampusMap.tif"
                CLASSITEM "[pixel]"

with a GeoTiff OUTPUTFORMAT and also with different types of files as
IMAGETYPE. But each time, the image came out as horrible quality, and oddly
tilted (though it might be tilted so that the latitude line is the
horizontal axis?). Also, I wasn't sure what to use for the EXTENT, and used
the numbers -87.60 41.75 -87.57 41.81 which seemed to display the whole map,
but this was only after some trial and error with the upperleft/lowerleft,
etc. data. How can I normally find the EXTENT?

Second of all - I want to start adding some Vector layers, but the problem
is that no shapefiles or anything exist for the data I want to add. I
googled about a bit, but didn't find any good advice on how to make your own
Vector data from personal knowledge. Can anybody point me in the right
direction on this?

Thank you very much,

Rebecca

Rebecca,

The first set is reported in decimal degrees.  The second set is the
same values described in degrees, minutes and seconds with hemisphere
codes (W=west vs. using a negative sign for instance).  The values
all look plausible.

> Next, is this actually a GeoTiff?

It appears to be a valid geotiff though if the details of this
were particularly important to you it might be better to inspect a
listgeo report instead of a gdalinfo report.

I have no idea why you are using CLASSITEM.  Normally RGB images would
be used directly with no classes or classitem defined in the raster layer.

I would encourage you to use an output format like PNG24 or JPEG
to avoid significant color degredation.  PNG or GIF will generally
be inappropriate choice for RGB imagery.

The photo is apparently not oriented north up, so MapServer is
rectifying it on the fly.  Based on the geotransform it seems the
angle of rotation should be modest - perhaps a few degrees?

Normally you could find this by looking at the corner coordinates
in the gdalinfo report.

My suggestion would be to draw them by hand over the photo image you
have using software like QGIS for instance.  Ensure that whatever
software you use understands rotated geotiff files - this is not
universal.

If you want predefined local data you might want to discuss
data sources with your campus engineering office, or your local
city/municiple GIS people.

Good luck,

Subject: [mapserver-users] Error running ./configure on a Linux machine
Message-ID: <829a3c190907171500ica72bcek8cafed4cc720d5ff@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all.

 I have tried to compile MapServer 5.4.1 for the last few hours to no
 avail. I cannot get past the ./configure command for some reason. Any
 input will be greatly appreciated.

 Basically, my problem is that ./configure refuses to recognize some of
 the commands I give it for some reason (for example, --with-agg or
 --with-png). It also refuses to find files on the system when I
 specify paths. For example, /usr/sbin/httpd or /usr/bin/xml2-config. I
 have made sure that the files are there, installed correctly, running
 just fine and are accessible by the user running ./configure.

 Any ideas what might be the problem? The following information may be useful.

 Thank you in advance,

 Michalis

I'm not sure about this. If I'm changing sizeunits from meters to
kilometers, my style looks realy awkward but my labels are stay the same.

The mapfile looks fine. I'm unsing MINDISTANCE the same way for
controlling road labels.

One other thing you can try is to play with BUFFER for the labels.

Which version of MapServer are you using? I know along with 5.4 there
where some enhancements for labeling.

One last thought: Do you have this problem just with the layer
"annotate_pin"? Does the labeling of other layers work as you expect?

I'm using 5.4.1, perl mapscript, via OpenLayers vai WMS.  (Jeez, I hope that conveys meaning, because it could really easily be complete gibberish :-) )

Hum... good question.  I'll try it Monday when I get back to work.  Thanks for the help on this.

Did you by chance edit myconfigure.sh in windows?  Leave around some carriage returns or something?  Got extra spaces/tabs after the \ ?

like: 

--with-libiconv=/usr        \{tab}

No. The WMS standard states that WIDTH and HEIGHT are integer values.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Spatial operations with PHP MapScript? (plus,
	intersecting raster and polygon?)
Message-ID: <866143.8424.qm@web110612.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>


Is it possible to do spatial operations with PHP MapScript? Currently, if I want to do intersection between two shapes, I have to write the following postgis queries in my map file:

? ?     DATA    'the_geom from (
            select h.gid, intersection(k.the_geom, h.the_geom) as the_geom
            FROM test.jawabali_konservasi k INNER JOIN  
            test.jawabali_hutanlindung h 
            ON
            (k.the_geom && h.the_geom AND intersects(k.the_geom, h.the_geom))
            ) as foo using unique gid using srid=-1' 

Is it possible to do such thing on the fly with MapScript?

And if spatial operations are possible with MapScript, is it possible to intersect a particular color range of a raster (which is defined in mapfile as CLASS) with polygons?

Many thanks,
-Kresh

Give a good search of the PHPMapScript documentation.  For example, I 
would start by searching for "intersect" on 
http://www.mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html#php-mapscript  (I 
believe the spatial operations are handled through the GEOS library by 
MapServer)  That should at least help you with your first question.

Thanks for your response Jeff,

 

Ive read the document you suggested (http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html ) however i am still experiencing the same problem.

 


As the document suggests i have set a projection and then added the folowing to WEB section of my mapfile   
 

      METADATA
        "wms_title" "UK1"
        "wcs_onlineresource" http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=wms.map&
        "wms_srs" "EPSG:32119 EPSG:4326"
      END
 
*Note 'wcs_onlinesresource' as my layer is a Raster
           
then wihtin the layer i have olny added "wms_title" "UK1" wihtin METADATA.
 
However i still get the error message "msWMSLoadGetMapParams(): WMS Server Error message "   i have also looked throught the error documentation however i cannot find anything.
 
Any help appreciatted thanks

Subject: [mapserver-users] Spatial operations with PHP MapScript? (plus,
	intersecting raster and polygon?)

Thanks, Jeff. I'll tinker around with intersection function.

Roppola, it seems putting the raster mesh in the database (BLOB data type?) is not feasible in this situation. I wonder if anyone has ever succeeded in intersecting polygon and raster before.

And so it works or it does not?

Assuming it does not: if you make it all on one line, does it work?

Subject: [mapserver-users] Shapefile with first FID = 0 not showing..
Message-ID: <0FB1F527BFBF944991C0DBF8910F5B0A97C272@candle.idir.bcgov>

Hello List, 

I am currently using Mapserver 5.2 on Windows Server 2003.
(<!-- MapServer version 5.2.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG
OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI
SUPPORTS=THREADS INPUT=JPEG INPUT=SDE INPUT=ORACLESPATIAL INPUT=OGR
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE -->)

We have just observed,  that when we publish a shapefile that has two
features..
With FID = 0 and FID =1, it only displays the feature with FID = 1..
(for other Shapefiles it is all features greater than 0 only)

For some reason it seems to skip the feature if FID = 0
Has anyone else come across this before?

Is there a work around? (Other than editing the Shapefile),

Many thanks, 
Michelle

Hello Michelle,

I have never seen your issue before.  Test your mapfile with a shp2img 
command - does your problem still occur (in the resulting map image)? 
Or are you saying that this only occurs when you consume your mapfile 
through a WMS client?

Hi Jeff, thanks for the quick reply.. I haven't tried the shp2img..
My tests are through WMS only..

I was able to create a png from MAPSERVER 4.10 / SHP2IMG..
and it does show both features.. (see image ..

http://n2.nabble.com/file/n3290653/test.png 

When I attempt to run MAPSERVER 5.2 / SHP2IMG .. 
I get this..

Perhaps it is my compiled version..

Just did a test and this wasn't an issue with our version of Mapserver 4.10..
The feature with FID = 0 did display via WMS using mapserver 4.10 (same
mapfile, same shapefile).

I would download the latest MS4W[1] (with MapServer 5.4.1) and try a 
shp2img with your mapfile.  If that correctly displays the 2 features 
then you know it is not a MapServer version issue.

Thanks Jeff.. 
I download the Stable setup.exe Installer for MS4W.
Which installed the  ms4w-2.3.1-setup.exe 142 KB (contains MapServer 5.2.1).

And it worked properly..
Both polygon features were displayed.


I am not sure what could be the issue, but I believe it may be related to
our compiled version  
MapServer version 5.2.0

Regards, 
Michelle

Subject: [mapserver-users] Performance in
	regular	expressions	or	analternative way to select a list of features
In-Reply-To: <4A604CE0.3090704@romtelecom.ro>
References: <4A5C2277.80204@romtelecom.ro>	<4A5C5216.5157.008F.0@dnr.state.mn.us>	<4A5D740D.10605@romtelecom.ro>

Message-ID: <4A657D19.9050105@romtelecom.ro>

Just for reference:

I tried to select about 130 items using a regular expression in the form 
of EXPRESSION (/^ITEM1|ITEM2|ITEM3|...|ITEM130$/) and rendering took 
about 4.5-5 seconds.

I tried to select the exact same 130 items using "IN" syntax: EXPRESSION 
("[myfield]" IN "ITEM1,ITEM2,ITEM3,...,ITEM130") and the query took 
about 8.5-9 seconds.

The tests were run several times in the same conditions - so the 
relative results should be relevant.

So - performance favors regular expressions :)

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problems when using complex expressions
Message-ID: <4A65838E.6050404@romtelecom.ro>

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to filter items by using a regular expression and a 
string/number comparison. Here's what works, and what doesnt:

EXPRESSION (/MYREGEXP/i)    -> doesn't work (doesn't match anything)
EXPRESSION /MYREGEXP/i      -> works
EXPRESSION "[myColumn]" ==1 -> doesn't work (loadClass(): Unknown 
identifier. Parsing error near (=))
EXPRESSION ("[myColumn]" ==1) -> doesn't work (doesn't match anything)
EXPRESSION ("[myColumn]" eq "1") -> works

EXPRESSION (/MYREGEXP/i) && ("[myColumn]" eq "1")  -> doesn't work 
(doesn't match anything)
EXPRESSION /MYREGEXP/i && ("[myColumn]" eq "1")  -> doesn't work 
(loadClass(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (&))
EXPRESSION ((/MYREGEXP/i) && ("[myColumn]" eq "1"))  -> doesn't work 
(doesn't match anything)

I have checked my data and it should match - most likely, my expression 
is wrong. Any suggestions? What is the correct syntax for mixing regular 
expressions with other values?

Thanks,
Adrian

Adrian,

have a look at this: http://mapserver.org/mapfile/expressions.html

As far as mixing regular and other expressions goes, this is the correct 
way to do it:

EXPRESSION (("[myColumn]" =~ /MYREGEXP/i) && ("[myColumn]" eq "1"))

Thanks, Andreas,

I've tried your solution (and already looked over the manual) but it 
still doesn't match anything...

Also - EXPRESSION ("[myColumn]" =~ /MYREGEXP/i) doesn't match anything
and EXPRESSION "[myColumn]" =~ /MYREGEXP/i   complains of a syntax error.

myColumn is the exact same thing as what I use in the layer's CLASSITEM 
definition.

I am puzzled... I think I'm using the EXPRESSION syntax the wrong way, 
but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Regards,
Adrian

Message-ID: <4A65B249.7020906@romtelecom.ro>

I managed to find a workaround for my problem: I used a FILTER statement 
in the layer definition and an EXPRESSION in my classes:

LAYER
    ...
    FILTERITEM "myColumn1"
    FILTER /MYREGEXP/i

    CLASS
       NAME "Test"
       EXPRESSION ( "[myColumn2]" eq "1" )
       ....
    END
END

This configuration seems to work - I will test it some more...
If anywone has an idea why the previous examples didn't work - I'd be 
happy to hear it out...

Adrian

Adrian,

brackets are always required around expressions like that, so that 
explains why the second example you posted doesn't work.

The first one, however, should. I'll admit, though, that I've never used 
it with the /i (case-insensitive, I guess) at the end.

Best regards,

Hi,

I am having trouble viewing my map correctly via open layers, the map is zoomed in very close I cannot zoom out anymore. 

I have tried different zoom extents however it is the same. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong is it the epsg code? If I enter a different epsg code I just see the background colour of my map file.

Andy help greatly appreciated

My map and openlayers files are below

Thanks

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem getting WFS results after zoom +
	queryByRect / PHPMapscript
Message-ID: <4A66CF41.7020804@alkante.com>

Hello,

Here is the thing : I am adding the WFS in my map => that creates a 
first gml temporary file (temp1.tmp.gml).
Then I am doing a zoom => creates second temporary gml file for the WFS 
(temp2.tmp.gml).

After, when I want to do a queryByRect, I am getting the right 
shapeindexes but
$oShape = $oLayer->getShape(0, shapeindex)  doesn't return any shape 
because it reads the wrong GML (temp2.tmp.gml) and should read the 
temp1.tmp.gml that contains all the values for the gml.

If a do a second queryByRect with the full extent of the map, it is ok, 
I get my results because the layer does point again the right GML 
(temp1.tmp.gml).

Any ideas, advices for avoiding query the map a second time?

In the javascript, I set the zoom between 17 (all the way out) and 5 
(zoomed in), you have zoom set to 1 so that would be way way in.

Also, in the constructer add numZoomLevels, like:

map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', { maxExtent: bounds, numZoomLevels: 10 });

That'll give you 10 levels to hit the + / - to zoom in/out.

Paul,

   The PROJECTION, EXTENT, and UNITS objects in the map file are closely 
related. If the PROJECTION is geographic (as yours is), you need to set the 
UNITS to DD and the EXTENT to something in that coordinate system, eg:

PROJECTION          # a spherical coordinate system
   "init=epsg:4326"
END
UNITS DD            # Decimal Degrees
EXTENT -11 50 2 60  # UK extent in degrees


and in your Javascript:

   var bounds = new OpenLayers.Bounds(-11,50, 2, 60);

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Subject: [mapserver-users] problem on java mapscript queryByPoint
Message-ID: <1248282391886-3304559.post@n2.nabble.com>


Hello,

I'm using java mapscript
I'm confused with queryByPoint function in  layerObj class.

I want to query a raster layer (Arc/Info Binary Grid) from specific
coordinates to check if
a point is covered by the layer.

The code is the follow:

        pointObj centerPoint = new pointObj(centerX, centerY, 0);
        layerObj layer = map.getLayerByName(layerName);
       
        int resQuery = layer.queryByPoint(map, centerPoint,
mapscript.MS_SINGLE, 180.0);
       .....

calling queryByPoint with mode mapscript.MS_SINGLE is the same as I call the
function with  mapscript.MS_MULTIPLE. My expectation is to have only one
result, but I get many resuts.

I tested the same function using python mapscript and it works correctly.

The question is why this does not work in Java?

Thanks
Marco

Subject: [mapserver-users] WMS client sample
Message-ID: <4A6768EF.80209@paranacidade.org.br>

Hi all,

I'm trying to show a WMS layer in Mapserver (5.4.1). I've tried to use 
lots of samples from the Internet, but without success.
It woks fine with some local data (shapefiles), so it's not a 
Mapserver/Apache problem (I'm using MS4W). I also have tested the 
connection url in ArcGis, and was ok.
When I try to get WMS layer, it just show a blank rectangle...
Does anyone could help or send me some working sample (html and .map)?

Below is my last tried.

Thanks,
Evemar

Hello,

My guess is that you're running into projection problems.  Here are some 
quick notes:

- make sure your MAP level EXTENTS match the projection defined at the 
MAP level
   - if you don't have a projection object at MAP level then add one 
(think of this as output projection)
- make sure your WMS layer contains a projection object, in order to 
tell MapServer what the requested image's projection is
   - the EPSG code is the code that you requested from the WMS server

Hope that helps.

-jeff

Hello all,

I am creating a symbol layer which uses images as the symbols.  The images
themselves are fairly high quality, however, when mapserver renders the
images, they are losing a significant amount of that quality.  I am using 24
bit pngs but they don't seem to get the job done. What are the other
rendering alternatives that could get a better output?

Hi Adam
 
What pixel dimensions are your image symbols? If they are not already scaled to an appropriate size for display on a map, Mapserver has to downsample them to fit in with the overall image dimensions of your map (eg. 512x512), within which your sumbols might only occupy a very small size - say 16x16 pixels. That is likely the issue here. You need to have symbols that are clear at these sizes.
 
Regards,
 
Robert Sanson

Subject: [mapserver-users] Symbol Image Quality
Message-ID: <4A6798FE0200008F000265DD@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Kinda need more info:

  - which version of MapServer
  - format of symbols (8-bit, 24-bit-, 32-bit)
  - which driver (GD vs AGG) 
  - what output format parameters

etc... It's safe to say there's a mismatch but with what who knows without more
information.

Hello all,

I am creating a symbol layer which uses images as the symbols.  The images
themselves are fairly high quality, however, when mapserver renders the
images, they are losing a significant amount of that quality.  I am using 24
bit pngs but they don't seem to get the job done. What are the other
rendering alternatives that could get a better output?

Hello MapServer Users,
I've been using the Querymap-Feature of MapServer. As I understand the 
objects are highlighted by changing the color. It would be very nice to 
have the possibility to define other style-properties like SIZE, 
OUTLINECOLOR, etc. Is this possible?

Best regards

I hope someone can solve this problem, our project is delayed by this error.
the GetFeatureInfo function is failed:

msConvertWideStringToUTF8(): General error message. Encoding not supported
by libiconv (UTF-16LE)


this error accured when I'm setting up a webgis on the second Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.3, on the first RHEL 5.3, GetFeatureInfo is
working perfect.

Some other info:(the same for both 2 server)
- Database server: oracle 10g
- ArcSDE 9.2
- Mapserver 5.4.1
- Libiconv 1.13
- Database encoding: AL32UTF16

Please help me !

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your help. I already tried to change projections/extents. Even following the original samples available on the Internet, it didn't work...

I don't know what is wrong... So, I think it would be better if someone who have a working code could send it to me... If it still not work, could be my mapserver.

Regards,
Evemar

This error message is telling you that the libiconv library, which is 
used by MapServer for encoding conversions, does not support UTF-16LE on 
that server.

You need to find out which libiconv your Mapserver was compiled with and 
then make sure that copy of libiconv has support for the UTF-16LE 
encoding. You can list the encodings supported by libiconv on a given 
system using "iconv -l"... make sure UTF-16LE is there.

Look for a difference between the two servers related to libiconv.

A few more notes:

- On some systems, there may not be an separate libiconv library 
installed, but instead the iconv*() functions are provided by glibc. I 
don't know if that's the case with RHEL 5.3 or not.

- If you downloaded a mapserv binary that was compiled on another system 
then it may be compiled with a different libiconv than the one you have 
on your server, and in this case the info returned by "iconv -l" may not 
be a good indication of the encodings supported by your copy of MapServer.

Ok, took longer than I thought to get back to this, but I've tried it 
with the roads layer and still cannot adjust the distance between labels.

here is a screen shot:

http://maps.camavision.com/map2.png

I've changed MINDISTANCE from 9 to 900000, and the image stays the 
same... the labels don't move.

If I set the layer.sizeunits to feet, then the font size scales with the 
image as I zoom in and out... I assume the font size is being set to 7 
feet instead of 7 pixels?  (I have label.size = 7).  But still, the 
mindistance seems to make no difference.

Also, some of the labels are being messed up, in the screen shot you can 
see it.  And the road didnt get draw right either.

hum... it occurs to me... I dont know how many different lines were used 
to draw 110th st.  If they used multiple lines, would I get a label for 
each line?  Casper seemed to get one label.

Hi,

(I don't remember if this has been asked yet or not, but...) does your 
OpenLayers application use tiles?  Is it possible the duplicate labels 
are actually on separate tiles?  If so, you can try setting OpenLayers 
to single tile mode to see if this is indeed the problem.  Then you can 
try defining PROCESSING 'LABEL_NO_CLIP=1' for the layer.

(Taking this back to the mapserver-users list... )

Your problem is very likely related to the use of multiple iconv copies
on your system... that LD_PRELOAD doesn't smell good. Do you absolutely
need to do that? Why not use the iconv that comes with glibc?

You wrote that "iconv -l" lists UTF-16LE ... but are you sure that it is
reporting the info for the same version of iconv that your mapserv
binary is using?

The only advice I can provide is make sure you *compile* your MapServer
with the same copy of iconv that you run with, and that this copy of
iconv does include UTF-16LE support.

Ok, that makes a difference.  Which makes sense if you think about it. 
Thanks for the pointer.  However...

http://maps.camavision.com/map3.png

some of the labels came out ok, and some didnt.  I removed all the 
lables from all other classes and if I change the font color, they all 
change, but they never get the backgroud.

This happens regardless of the LABEL_NO_CLIP=1 setting.

Also, note, however, it does not fix my original problem, my 
annotate_pin layer still has dup labels.  (yes, I added the PROCESSING 
'LABEL_NO_CLIP=1' to the layer).

I even tryed setting OpenLayers to single tiled mode, and it still dups 
the labels.

So looks like when I'm adding Features it gets drawn different than line 
layers?

Would help if you could put together a test case for us to try. Without being familiar with your
data it's hard to know what is right or wrong in the images. The label parameter MINDISTANCE
is always given in pixels. In current versions it works of the centers of labels although that will
change in the next release so that label size is taken into account.

Anyway, MINDISTANCE is considered when two labels are from the same layer, same class and
have the same exact value. Would be interesting to see your data and mapfile...

I can.  What would be best for you?  I can put the wms server on the 
outside so you can query it.  Or I can send shapefiles and the mapfile. 
  (I dont have permission to give everything to everybody, but I'd bet a 
select few would be ok.  So I'd rater not post a download to the mailing 
list, but would give it to a select few.)

Also, I think there are two problems:

1) some labels dont get background
2) my perl script adds features to a layer and that layer is drawn 
different than line layers.

1) I can get you stuff pretty easy, but 2) might be more difficult.  Let 
me play around with it a little and see if I can make a mapfile with the 
features in it and see if shp2img will draw it.

Thank you very much for the help,

-Andy

Ok, after some playing I have a simple test that show's the label 
background problem.

The dup label problem on a line layer (road names) is not a problem, the 
LABEL_NO_CLIP=1 fixes my problem (or using OpenLayers singleTile).

The dup label problem on my annotate-pin layer is a problem.  The layer 
seems to ignore LABEL_NO_CLIP=1.  If I set OpenLayers to use singleTile 
then it displays correctly.  I have a mapfile with the features defined 
inside (so no perl script is needed).  shp2img displays it correctly 
because, I assume, it draws as one tile.

I also noticed, when drawn as one tile, all the lines (roads n stuff) 
draw correctly, but in OpenLayers with mult-tiles, it get's messed up.

One Tile:

Muiti-Tile:

I have a shape file, and a mapfile if anyone wants it, I'd prefer to 
send you the link privately though.

Hi,

Change "stderr" to some filename and debug info will be written directly into that.

I can use a file instead of stderr and have the same problem - restart 
apache to see the logs.

Um... the only reason I can think of for this to happen would be if your 
mapserv processes hang and never close/flush the log output. Actually, 
are you using the mapserv CGI or MapScript? On which OS is this happening?

If you built from source, you could possibly work around the problem by 
adding a fflush() call in msDebug() after the msIO_vfprintf() line. That 
could keep you going but would not solve the key issue which seems to be 
that your processes possibly hang or something like that. We'd need more 
info to help with that.

Just a note, no solution:

I have an installation of MapServer (a week old svn version) with
fastcgi and lighttpd. There are 6 processes available. The logging isn't
reliable, if I "tail -f" the log file, I don't see the messages in real
time. The idle timeout is set to 20.

I didn't try the restart of lighttpd.

I assume that this behavior depends on my lighttpd config (and not in
MapServer), but I did not put time in it to find the cause.

Not sure if this helps at all, I just wanted to say something ;)

Hi kapilmanoj

I do have actually the same problem (exept I use Ubuntu 8.04). I had to
compile mapscript by myself since I use Java and Java mapscript is not
pre-packaged by Ubuntu. Maybe I missed a dependency during the compilation ?

Anyway, if anyone has a solution to this problem, I'd be glad to know it!

Cheers,
Ganael

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your answer. The info I get with mapserver -v is:

MapServer version 5.0.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS
INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

It doesn't say anything about AGG, however it has PNG (which I believe use
the same driver).

Cheers,
Ganael

Hi,

If it does not say it supports AGG then it does not. Without AGG pngs are created with GD renderer. Mapserver -v output will look like this when AGG is included. 

MapServer version 5.2.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF
 OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICO
NV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUP
PORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS SUPPORTS=RGBA_PNG INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR
 INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Subject: [mapserver-users] how to retrieve 2 records at the same point with
	getfeatureinfo
Message-ID: <4A69A312.9070701@thinkpad>

Hi list,

I have a shapefile with 2 points at the same location. Displaying the shape and 
selecting this point in gvSIG shows two records.

However a getfeatureinfo request always retrieves only one record. I have the 
following settings in the mapfile

       WMS_FEATURE_INFO_MIME_TYPE  "text/html"
       WMS_INCLUDE_ITEMS           "all"
       OWS_INCLUDE_ITEMS           "all"

The problem remains the same if I change the mime type in request and mapfile to 
text/plain. Is this a feature of ogc wms, is this a bug or do I have to set a 
special parameter ?

Markus

Hi,

  Have you tried the FEATURE_COUNT (1) property in your request ?

Daniel,

Great - the fflush worked. The OS is Debian Etch 64. I am using 
php/mapscript.

Perhaps you recall that I had a similar problem with the same server 
with PHP/mapscript and calling flush caused a segmentation fault to show 
in the apache error logs. Perhaps there is something similar I could 
experiment with that would flush mapscript output?

Um... the only reason I can think of for this to happen would be if your 
mapserv processes hang and never close/flush the log output. Actually, 
are you using the mapserv CGI or MapScript? On which OS is this happening?

If you built from source, you could possibly work around the problem by 
adding a fflush() call in msDebug() after the msIO_vfprintf() line. That 
could keep you going but would not solve the key issue which seems to be 
that your processes possibly hang or something like that. We'd need more 
info to help with that.

Subject: [mapserver-users] distance between line and a given point using
	mapscript
Message-ID: <4A6A132F.3090207@ncsu.edu>

I'm trying to create several new line objects and then find the lines
that are within x miles of a given point.  (i.e., how far away a given
point is from the track of a hurricane or the path of a ship).  I'm
having some difficulties and I hope someone can help.

How do I query a layer with one or more line features to find all 
features with X miles of a given point?

Here is how I'm approaching the problem in PHP:

// Test array of points.  This is used to make a line.
$points[0]['lat'] = 35.5;
$points[0]['lon'] = -78.8;
$points[1]['lat'] = 36.5;
$points[1]['lon'] = -79.8;
$points[2]['lat'] = 37.5;
$points[2]['lon'] = -80.1;

// make new map object.
$map = ms_newMapObj('mapdata/mymap.map');

// Create new line
$my_line = ms_newLineObj();

// Loop through points, and add to the line
while (list(,$coordinate)=each($points)){

         // Create new point object
         $my_point = ms_newpointObj();
         $my_point->setXY($coordinate['lon'],$coordinate['lat']);

         // Add point to line object
         $my_line->add($my_point);
}

// Now create a new shape
$my_shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_LINE);
$my_shape->add($my_line);

// create new layer
$my_layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);

// set some fields for this new layer
//$my_layer->set("units","miles");  // does not seem to work as expected

// Create new class and add TEMPLATE.  This is required for queries on 
the layer to work?
$my_class = ms_newClassObj($my_layer);
$my_class->set("template",'/home/www/html/query_template.html');

// Add feature to the layer
$my_layer->addFeature($my_shape);

// Draw map. Query doesn't work if I don't do this now.
$map->draw();

// Make a new point object that will be our ref point
// to check how far away the line is from this point.
$my_point = ms_newpointObj();
$my_point->setXY(-82,36); // lon, lat

// Run a point query on the line object layer; layer must have a class 
with a LAYER TEMPLATE value
// The third argument is the buffer tolerance.  Default unit is pixels? 
  Must figure out how to make miles or km.
if ($my_layer->queryByPoint($my_point,MS_SINGLE,1)==MS_SUCCESS){

         $my_result = $my_layer->getResult(0);  // Get the result
         $my_layer = 
$my_layer->getShape($my_result->tileindex,$my_result->shapeindex);  // 
Get the shape

}

Subject: [mapserver-users] Querymap
Message-ID: <4A6A35010200008F00026805@co5.dnr.state.mn.us>

Hi Daniel: Sadly, no. It's primarily because there's only one querymap for potentially
all the layers so symbolization could become quite complex as different layers are processed.
A better solution is to store a selection style with each layer. Depending on your application 
you might be able to work around this limitation using dynamic expressions. For example:

# selected feature layer
LAYER
  NAME 'selected'
  ...
  LABELITEM 'keyfield'
  CLASS
    EXPRESSION '%keyvalue%'
    ...styles to draw the feature in a selected manner...
    METADATA
      keyvalue_validation_pattern  'some regex to make sure the keyvalue is of the proper form'
    END
  END
END

Then if using the CGI you could call MapServer with a primary key from the selected
feature, e.g.:

  /cgi-bin/mapserv?map=...&layer=selected&keyvalue=1234

If your app knows stuff about the selected feature (either as part of a template presentation or
perhaps the query was done via ajax) then this works nicely.

Hello MapServer Users,
I've been using the Querymap-Feature of MapServer. As I understand the 
objects are highlighted by changing the color. It would be very nice to 
have the possibility to define other style-properties like SIZE, 
OUTLINECOLOR, etc. Is this possible?

Best regards
Daniel Degasperi

Your line layer should like so:

  LAYER
    NAME 'lines'
    TYPE LINE
    ...other junk...
    TEMPLATE 'dummy' # to be queryable
    TOLERANCEUNITS MILES
    TOLERANCE X
  END

Then in mapscript you'd do a 

  $my_layer->queryByPoint($my_point, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);

The buffer parameter is used to override a layer tolerance so setting to -1 tells
the method to ignore it.  If you do use it then it's given in the units of the layer
being searched (before any projection).

Does that help?

Oh, wanted to also note that there are some distance methods associated
with points in mapscript so that you could avoid the query methods altogether.

They are (for a point):
  - distanceToSegment(a, b); # where a and b are pointObj's
  - distanceToShape(a); # where a is a shapeObj

These are planar distances, no great circle computations.

Subject: [mapserver-users] Applying a hatch over a line layer
Message-ID: <4A6D753F.30009@romtelecom.ro>

Hello,

I'm trying to apply a hatch over a line segment, but it doesn't seem to 
work.
My symbol definition is:

SYMBOL           
     NAME 'hatch'
     TYPE HATCH  
END              

My layer definition is:
LAYER
    TYPE LINE
    ...
    CLASS
       NAME "Test"
       EXPRESSION ( "[flag]" eq "1")
       STYLE                           
            SYMBOL 'hatch'              
            ANGLE 45                    
            SIZE 3 #spacing between lines
            WIDTH 4 #width of each line 
            color "#000000"             
        END                             
        style                           
          color "#fff94d"               
          width 2                       
          antialias true                
        end                             
    END
END

The behavior is the following: mapserver draws the lines using the 
second style (a yellowish color), but doesn't draw a hatch over my line.

I've tried with the hatch symbol after the style definition, but it 
still doesn't work.  The hatch worked for POLYGON layers just fine.

Is there any way I can use it for LINE data?

Thanks,
Adrian

P.S. I'm using mapserver 5.4.1

hi,

hatches only apply to polygon layers.

what you are probably looking for is the PATTERN keyword:

symbol
  type simple
  pattern 2 2 end
  name "dashes"
end

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your reply. I tried your solution and it draws a dashed 
line paralel to my feature (on each side because the symbol is thicker). 
This is nice, but I was wondering if it's possible to draw the lines at 
an angle relative to my feature, thus created the "hatch" effect.

If this is not possible with a simple symbol - would it be possible with 
a graphical symbol (picture)? And if yes, should I expect a high 
performance penalty?

Thanks again,
Adrian

yes, you can definitely do that with an image symbol, although that
won't be very flexible if you want to change the width.

another solution would be with a vector symbol.

in both cases, you'll have to add a negative GAP to your symbol definition.

cheers,

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your reply. I tried first with an image, but the output 
didn't look so hot, so I created my own symbol by following this guide: 
http://umn.mapserver.ch/MapServer/en/sym_vector.htm

It still doesn't look very nice, but I will tune it from here.

Thanks again,
Adrian

Steve,

This is a huge help.  The only thing I had not figured out was the 
'toleranceunits' and 'tolerance' fields.  I appreciate your help!

I intend to add many, possible hundreds, lines to a layer.  Then query 
it with a given reference point.  How do I get the number of results and 
then loop through each one?

Best Regards,
Mark

There are lots of samples that show you how to loop through a set of search
results. There's a getNumResults() method for layer objects and then a getResult()
method to retrieve each one individually.

Steve,

This is a huge help.  The only thing I had not figured out was the 
'toleranceunits' and 'tolerance' fields.  I appreciate your help!

I intend to add many, possible hundreds, lines to a layer.  Then query 
it with a given reference point.  How do I get the number of results and 
then loop through each one?

Best Regards,
Mark

I got the looping through each result.  However, all distances are
calculated to -1, which I know can't be right.  In debugging, I'm also
echo'ing the shape index for each result, but it's always the same.  Am I
constructing the layer correctly?


// create array of points from database query results.
for ($i=0; $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $i++){

        $points[$row['snum']][$i]['lat'] = $row['lat'];
        $points[$row['snum']][$i]['lon'] = $row['lon'];

} // End loop through points

// create map object
$map = ms_newMapObj('wms.map');

// create new layer for hurricane tracks.
$my_layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);

// set some fields for this new layer
$my_layer->set("toleranceunits","miles");
$my_layer->set("tolerance","20");

// Create new class and add TEMPLATE.
$my_class = ms_newClassObj($my_layer);
$my_class->set("template",'query_template.html');

// Loop through points, create line for each storm, and add track points
to new line object.
while (list($snum,$coordinates)=each($points)){

        // Create new line object
        $my_line = ms_newLineObj();

        // Loop through each point coordinate for this snum
        while (list($num,$coordinate)=each($coordinates)){

                // Create new point object
                $my_point = ms_newpointObj();
                $my_point->setXY($coordinate['lon'],$coordinate['lat']);

                // Add point to line object
                $my_line->add($my_point);

        } // done adding this storm's points to the line object

        // Now create a new shape object
        $my_shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_LINE);
        $my_shape->add($my_line);

        // Add feature to the layer
        $my_layer->addFeature($my_shape);

} // end creating and adding points to line objects and line objects to
the layer.

// Draw map.
$map->draw();

// Make a new point object that will be our reference point.
$my_ref_point = ms_newpointObj();
$my_ref_point->setXY(-78.7,35.4);  // user-entered coordinates of where we
are querying from.

// Run a point query on the line object layer.
if (@$my_layer->queryByPoint($my_point,MS_MULTIPLE,-1)==MS_SUCCESS){

        // Loop through results.
        $num_results = $my_layer->getNumResults();
        echo "# results = $num_results\n\n";

        // Loop through each result
        for ($num=0; $num<$num_results; $num++){
                echo "result # $num:\n";

                // Get this result
                $my_result = $my_layer->getResult($num);

                //$my_shape =
$my_layer->getShape($my_result->tileindex,$my_result->shapeindex);
 // Get the shape
                echo "shapeindex = ".$my_result->shapeindex."\n";
                $my_shape = $my_layer->getFeature($my_result->shapeindex);
 // Get the feature
                echo "distanceToShape =
".$my_ref_point->distanceToShape($my_shape)."\n\n"; //

Why python mapscript is not used as php mapscript??
What are problems using python mapscript??
If i am using python mapscript can i develop an webgis interface which can
perform faster than interfaces built on php-mapscripts such as
cartoweb,ka-map etc...

Can i get more speed with python mapscript apps..

Is there any benefit in moving from php to python??

anybody please help
Any suggestion are always welcomed..

Thanks in advance

Subject: [mapserver-users] Legend: Calling one of two layers shows both
	legend entries
Message-ID: <4A6F103F.3010205@uni-bonn.de>

Dear all,
I am using a mapfile with two layers.

When using Geomoose 2 as client and turning the first of these layers on 
from the legend, the respective signature will appear in the legend at 
its respective location (as expected), but also the legend location of 
the second layer.

I tried using STATUS ON / OFF at layer level - but no success. How can I 
change this? I added two screenshots for clarification. Mapbook snippets 
are below.

When calling the legend via URL in my browser, there is no such problem:
http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/coffeeshop/map/conservation.map&mode=legend&layer=LAYER-01&layer=LAYER-02
shows both legend signatures

http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/coffeeshop/map/conservation.map&mode=legend&layer=LAYER-01
shows only the signature of LAYER-01

Any hints on that?

Thanks,
Nils

Subject: [mapserver-users] Mapserver Security
Message-ID: <4A6F2B9F.8060405@gisnet.com>

I have some questions about securing a MapServer WMS. From the googlits 
I've gathered it seems that the easy way is to use Basic Authentication 
if you have Apache. I do have that on my Linux-based server, so I sealed 
off the directory in which I have my mapfile and web template. And so 
far so good. If a browser attempts to access that directory it is 
challenged to produce a valid username/password.

However, in my CGI directory, I have a wrapper set up for this directory 
that looks something like this:

MS_MAPFILE=/var/www/html/theDir/theFile.map
export MS_MAPFILE
QUERY_STRING="map=${MS_MAPFILE}&zoomdir=0&zoomsize=2&layer=counties&layer=states&...
/var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv

It works fine, but I don't know why it works because it accesses the 
mapfile in /theDir/, and /theDir is supposed to be password protected 
now by Apache. To make sure that I didn't already have a valid user in 
my browser, I shut it down and then tried again. When I ran that wrapper 
it picked up its info from the mapfile and then happily drew the map 
using the web template file that's also in that "protected" directory. 
It's as if there was no security at all!

But if I steer my browser to that directory and try to access the 
mapfile directly, I get challenged to produce a password before I can 
access any file in that directory.

I also just discovered another issue that should have been  obvious but 
I didn't realize the implications until now. That is, if someone just 
tries a getCapabilities and gets a list of what's on my server, then 
they can view those layers via calls to getMap regardless of whether my 
map file is in a protected directory or not. But I thought they had to 
read the map file for getCapabilities to work, and yet on my system, the 
map files in protected directories seem to be just as friendly to 
strangers as the mapfiles in my public directories.

So can anybody explain what I need to do to secure a Mapserver WMS site 
or can you point me to a "HOW TO" document that explains things? Also, 
are there any  other possible security surprises that I probably don't 
know about? I'd like to get these information leaks plugged up.

Thanks in  advance,
- Bill Thoen

Without reading/answering all your questions:

apache security protects apache paths, so /xyz is protected because you 
put access rights on /xyz.

you didnt put access rights on /cgi-bin, so /cgi-bin is not protected. 
A cgi program (mapserv in this case) does not know anything about apache 
security, so it can access any path it wants.  Apache also has no 
control over cgi programs, so it cannot stop mapserv from acccessiinng

PHP is just a lot more popular/easier than python for dynamic websites. I

There is a no significant performance gain between the two languages.

I don't understand your question...... if the performance of your application 
would be very important, you wouldn't choice a mapscript binding.

Of course... the use of python itself. ;)

Correct. But the browser is not calling /theDir/ as an URL. The browser 
is calling /cgi-bin/wrapper.cgi

Therefore, Apache will only apply security for /cgi-bin/ to the request. 
After the request has been approved (since cgi-bin is not protected) 
Apache pays no attention at all to what the program DOES, including 
accessing file paths.

Exactly right. Apache matches the URL or directory that the BROWSER 
requested, and in this case the browser was in fact trying to access 
/theDir/


> So can anybody explain what I need to do to secure a Mapserver WMS site 
> or can you point me to a "HOW TO" document that explains things?

Sure.

Remove MapServer from cgi-bin and place it somewhere where it will not 
be directly accessible from the web -- for example /usr/local/bin/mapserv.

Modify your wrapper.cgi to use the new path to mapserv

Then password-protect the directory which contains wrapper.cgi

The result will be that one can only access MapServer through 
wrapper.cgi, and that wrapper.cgi will be password protected. If you're 
the only one using MapServer and only to serve "protected" layers, this 
should be just what you need.

> know about? I'd like to get these information leaks plugged up.

As far as MapServer bugs, nope. This one isn't even an Apache bug; it's 
the way Apache works and is documented to work, just misunderstood. But 
following the above (password-protect cgi-bin and move mapserv out of 
it) will get past this surprise.

Others may have different ideas but it seems to me you'll need to secure the wms binary 
rather than a directory. (I wouldn't store mapfiles and templates in a web accessible location
anyway.) There are probably many ways to do this. One idea might be to have separate
WMS binaries, one for password-protected stuff and another for public stuff, call 'em 
wms1 and wms2. Latest versions of MapServer allow you to set an env variable called
MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN. This is used as a regex test against the requested mapfile and can
help restrict what can be loaded. It's not fool proof but is a good start. You could set that
variable conditionally based on what binary (wms1 or wms2) is requested (see mod_setenvif).
You'd apply password protection against the wms1 in this case.

You can go further and not allow full path mapfiles at all. (see MS_MAP_NO_PATH in this
document: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/EnvironmentVariables). In this case
you'd set:

  SetEnv MS_MAP_NO_PATH 1
  SetEnv WMS1_MAPFILE 'some path'
  SetEnv WMS2_MAPFILE 'some other path'

and users could only use WMS1_MAPFILE or WMS2_MAPFILE in WMS calls (or CGI calls for that 
matter). You might even be able to secure one wms binary based on the mapfile requested. That
is, any URL request with WMS1_MAPFILE requires basic authentication.

Problem with MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN is that if using it for the path part of a mapfile you
could use back references to get elsewhere. I imagine it's possible to craft a regex that
wouldn't allow '..' but it's not trivial (examples welcome!). Not allowing path'd mapfiles 
at all is more restrictive and is certainly a goal of mine now when setting apps up.

I should add that we are very interested in security improvements so please let us know
if you run into issues or have ideas!

Hi All,

I am a programmer, and not an artist or a mapper.  (I cant even draw 
good stick figures.)

So my question is, how do ya'll make pretty maps?  Is there a tool you 
use?  Are there standards/common colors/symbols that should be used? (I 
assume watter should be blue... and red-green dotted lines to show alien 
landing sites :-) )

Also, are there people/company's around that we could hire to make my 
maps look pretty?  (I'm think of sending them my mapfile and shapefies, 
and they'd send me a mapfile back, and it wouldn't be too expensive)

I don't have permission to spend money on this yet, but I can see it 
coming down the road.  I'd like to know what my options are.

Thanks,

-Andy

Nils,

  Sounds like a GeoMoose problem; you might try asking their email list.

  I seem to recall a similar problem with GeoMoose 1.6.1; try using
underscores (_) instead of a dash (-) in the layer name.

Message-ID: <49dc012b0907290438p76ee12c0sc761985ad3f31b49@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I am labeling streets (again) and have two questions. I would be
enormously thankful If anyone could help me.

1) First, if I set labels of the street line features to ANGLE FOLLOW,
the output is sometimes weird as it is seen here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/snaperski/Ort#5363839637825485026 :
Aleksander Pushkin's street is positioned weirdly on the top.
Then, if I change to ANGLE AUTO, then that label is positioned better:
http://picasaweb.google.com/snaperski/Ort#5363839638912023874

I am aware that in case of ANGLE FOLLOW the label is placed different
from ANGLE AUTO, but that concrete street (Aleksander Pushkin)
contains only one line segment, so it should'nt be different.

The label section in the mapfile:
		LABEL
			TYPE truetype
			FONT "arial"
			COLOR 240 240 240
			OUTLINECOLOR 52 52 52
			SIZE 9
			priority 3
                        ENCODING UTF-8
			force false
			MINDISTANCE 200
			MINFEATURESIZE 15
			ANGLE follow

2) Another question arouses from previous screenshots (ie
http://picasaweb.google.com/snaperski/Ort#5363839637825485026)
and is an encoding problem.
Namely, I could'nt display correctly symbol "?" - that one appears
crippled on the screen.

My system uses mapserver 5.4.1 and libiconv package version 1.13.1.
Data to be displayed uses shapefile. I already tried to edit those
street label values in the shapefile to make sure that input character
"?" is from UTF-8 charset. I tried to change encoding to ISO-8859-1
also (in the mapfile), but nothing. So, I would appreciate a little
help here ;)


Best wishes,

Dear Brent,
thanks a lot. Replacing the dashes with underscores helped.

I'll post that to the Geomoose list as well.

You can use the OGR C# bindings (add reference to ogr_csharp.dll).

You can download binary packages for various MSVC versions from this

I thought I knew how regex worked but I guess not. Attempting to follow 
your advice, I'm trying to run this file from a wrapper: 
/var/www/mapfiles/MyMapfile.map

and in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I've set the following line:
SetEnv MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN='^/var/www/mapfiles/.*$'
and restarted the httpd service.

But what's wrong with my regex? I'm getting this error:
msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String 
(/var/www/mapfiles/MyMapfile.map) failed expression test.

Message-ID: <d33d7cc00907290828i78ea3eccu5dcfc8f38b860b2f@mail.gmail.com>

I saw in the WMS Server documents online, that there is a flag -
"ows_sld_enabled".  I have tried it, and it doesn't seem to work.  It
doesn't look like it should yet, but I wanted to confirm I'm not going mad.

My my expectations stem from reading bug
#1395<http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/1395>which details the
implementation.

The history.txt file modified with the update seems to suggest it was
included after the 5.4.0 beta.  However the bug milestone is set for 6.0.
Also, the online docs already show it - so it's not clear to me if it's
actually implemented in 5.4.1.

Can someone clarify if it's current functionality or if it's in the trunk
waiting for 6.0?

Thanks!

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapScript querybypoint using mapObj rather than
	layerObj
Message-ID: <000001ca105c$ef8c37a0$cea4a6e0$@nunn@usegis.co.uk>

Hi 

 

I am using MapScript to perform a querybypoint and I have succeeded in
querying each individual layer however this is slow and I wonder if this is
possible (as the documentation suggests) by querying the mapObj and come
back results from all layers within the mapfile.

 

My current code is:

 

$o_map = ms_newMapObj("QueryCounties.map");

$v_nl = $o_map->numlayers;

$o_point = ms_newPointObj();

$o_point->setXY($v_longitude, $v_latitude);

 

//loop through layers in mapfile

for($j = 0; $j < $v_nl; $j++) {

                $o_query_layer = $o_map->getLayer($j);

                $o_query_layer->set("status",1);

 

                //select layer if point lies within layer

                if ((@$o_query_layer->queryByPoint($o_point, MS_MULTIPLE,
-1))==MS_SUCCESS) {

                                $o_query_layer->open();

                                

//gets the first result from each query

                                $o_result = $o_query_layer->getResult(0);

                                $o_shape =
$o_query_layer->getShape(-1,$o_result->shapeindex);

 

                                //return values from columns of shapefile

                                $v_decade = $o_shape->values["NAME"];

 

 

 

And my attempt to perform queryByPoint on a mapObj is like this:

 

$o_query = $o_map->queryByPoint($o_point, MS_MULTIPLE, -1);

echo "query_results:   ".$o_query;

 

My Mapfile looks like this:

 

                           MAP

  NAME "Counties"

  SHAPEPATH "C:\Data\

  STATUS ON

  PROJECTION

    "init=epsg:4326"

  END

 

  LAYER

    NAME Counties1790

    STATUS ON

    DATA "US_county_1790_region.shp"

    TYPE POLYGON

    CLASS

       NAME "counties"

       TEMPLATE "void"

    END 

  END 

  

  LAYER

    NAME Counties1810

    STATUS ON

    DATA "US_county_1810_region.shp"

    TYPE POLYGON

    CLASS

      NAME "counties"

      TEMPLATE "void"

    END

END

.....

          END

Anyone know how to get this querybypoint working on a mapobj and if it will
speed up the code?

 

All the best

 

Joe

It works just fine for me. Maybe your firewall doesn't permit accessing an
outbound connection with TCP 1280.

Hi Liz,

It is only available in the trunk that would be released as 5.6 (or 6.0) 
sometime this fall
The 5.4 branch was created just after the 5.4.0 betas (before actually 
the 5.4.0 release), and that would explain the history file entries.
I will check for the docs and update it accrdingly.

Hi all,

I apologize if the question has already been asked, I looked the july
archive and couldn't find it.

When performing a :
queryByPoint($click,MS_MULTIPLE, -1)==MS_SUCCESS)

On PHPMapscript 5.4.0, getNumResults() returns the correct number of
results. On 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 getNumResults() returns a single result.

Has anything changed ? Does anyone know why it's doing this ?

Hello Bill.

Try escaping the forward slashes... Although they are not a special 
character, usually regexes are called between forward slashes /REGEX/, 
so it could mess things up.

Try:
SetEnv MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN='^\/var\/www\/mapfiles\/.*$'

Also, $ after .* is irrelevant... :)

Good luck,
Adrian

Hi Bill,

That's because it's not Apache reading the content in the directory.
Apache is running the CGI and the CGI is accessing the directory
directly. The CGI is already "behind" the access policy layer.

As the CGI is usually running as the Apache user, it has the same access
level as the Apache user (i.e. everything that any Apache process can
see).

It's not *that* great a problem as you can only interact with content
using methods supported by the Mapserver CGI. For example, "draw".
Mapserver is unlikely to have any methods that will enable wholesale,
unaltered transfer of raw content, using mapserver to access most files
is unlikely to elicit a useful response.

Some ideas:
 - Wrap your CGI and use _established_ tools to test/assert canoncial
paths on inputs
	* Within the CGI wrapper i.e. Might Perl's bless/taint be
applicable?
	* using server level tools like mnodern equivalents to
"mod_security"?
	* Home brew regexp style security tools are probably always
faulty
 - Your CGI wrapper could use sudo to contain different contexts to
different roles/permissions
 - Put sensitive data into a database (like PostGIS) and use RDBMS
roles/permssions (with login details kept out of the map file!)
 - Use security frameworks like SELinux or AppArmor to assert contexts
(example below)

The last option makes it easy to restrict particular CGIs to particular
paths and is probably easiest to manage. Say put a sensitive map ito a
separate VirtualHost with its own CGI and use SELinux or AppArmor to
restrict each VirtualHost to its own content. In a single host system,
you could keep two CGIs and place a context policy on the generic
mapserv.exe that keeps it out of "theDir". Here's a sample snippet from
an AppArmor context that could be applied:
	1) Allow that conext to execute object as in a specified
location ("bin/*.sh", think "mapserv.exe")
	2) Those executables are only allowed to read .jar files (think
"path/*.map") from another specified location

/data/some/app {
...
  /data/some/app/bin/*.sh rix,
  /data/some/app/common/**.jar r,
...

By no means a "ready rolled" solution, but rather some avenues to
explore.

Cheers,

Antti

-----Original Message-----

It works fine, but I don't know why it works because it accesses the
mapfile in /theDir/, and /theDir is supposed to be password protected
now by Apache. To make sure that I didn't already have a valid user in
my browser, I shut it down and then tried again. When I ran that wrapper
it picked up its info from the mapfile and then happily drew the map
using the web template file that's also in that "protected" directory. 
It's as if there was no security at all!

Subject: [mapserver-users] Intervalls for EXPRESSION in CLASS object
Message-ID: <4A716BD4.9060602@uni-bonn.de>

Hello,
I have a shape file with isohyets and want to draw only certain values 
at different map scales. The larger the scale, the more detail I want.

Currently I use

CLASS
  EXPRESSION ( ([value] = 250) OR ([value] = 500) OR ([value] = 750)...)
  MAXSCALEDENOM 1000000
  MINSCALEDENOM 500000	
..
END

CLASS
  EXPRESSION ( ([value] = 100) OR ([value] = 200) OR ([value] = 300) ...)
  MAXSCALEDENOM 500000
  MINSCALEDENOM 250000	
..
END

which becomes a pretty long list in large scale class definitions, since 
I got precipitation values up to 3000mm intervals.

Can I do something like

EXPRESSION ( ([value] = 'all values in 100 intervals')

Thanks,
Nils

Nils,

you might want to try something like this using the modulo operator:

EXPRESSION ( ([value] % 100) = 0 )

Subject: [mapserver-users] label SIZE parameter
Message-ID: <4A7193D0.1040605@dmsolutions.ca>

Good morning,

I was just playing around with the sizes of some labels, and, after 
checking the mapfile documentation, I'm a little confused with the 
results I've seen.  In the documentation it says that SIZE takes an 
integer for truetype fonts, but I was able to specify "SIZE 5.5" which 
did not give the same result as "SIZE 5" (which is what I would have 
expected) or "SIZE 6" with MapServer 5.4.2.  Is this an error in the 
documentation?

Thanks,
Christy

Message-ID: <38FFFA96BE9C224893B3559563614BEA12CC45@begemsrv01.sodiplan-begem.local>

Hello list,

I'm using Mapserver CGI 5.0.2 (and i'v tried with the 5.4.x too) to render a layer from an Oracle Spatial database (SDO geometries). 
Everything is working fine except for some geometries : multipolygons with interpretation 2 (vertex connected by arcs).

Here is an example of such geometry :
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2007,26273,null,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,2,11,1003,2,21,1003,2),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(83933,89879.010577196,83936.989422804,89883,83933,89886.989422804,83929.010577196,89883,83933,89879.010577196,83345,89445.010577196,83348.989422804,89449,83345,89452.989422804,83341.010577196,89449,83345,89445.010577196,82793,89490.010577196,82796.989422804,89494,82793,89497.989422804,82789.010577196,89494,82793,89490.010577196))
The layer is rendered but no feature are displayed.

The geomtries are correct (verified with the Oracle MapViewer).

If someone knows a solution for this case it will be very useful...

Thanks in advance,

Julien Collaer

Message-ID: <6924A68BEE67AA46A1E95CC0EB4F98D002797773@sc-exchange.addisongov.org>

Hi,

I have created 2 tables in postGIS and POSTGreSQL  - in one, I am
storing the GPS coordinates which are in the form of say lat= 32.4 and
longitude = 72.45 ( which are in degrees) with SRID 2276

And in another I am capturing the user defined points from a projected
map in mapserver. So here the points are having the projected
coordinates like 2479589   7037631.  The projection of the map has
epsg=2276

 

Now I want to find the distance between the GPS points and the user
defined point. For that I require the projected coordinates for both.

So how can I store the projected coordinates of the GPS points in the
table? Is there any function for that?

 

Any help will be great!

 

Thanks

Suman

I think I've got this now, but for a newbie to CGI, this is a subtlety 
that's easy to miss. I was so focused on preventing unauthorized  
browser access (because I kept seeing MapServer in a browser context 
only) that I completely forgot that there's plenty of other vectors into 
the data to consider.

And in this case, even protecting the WMS image of the data is 
important. It would be bad news if an attacker could get to the raw 
data, but it would be just as bad if they got a look at maps made from 
it, too. I like the idea of virtual hosts; I think I'll look more into 
that.

you post a picture of how it's supposed to look?

Hello Bob,

thanks for your fast response.

These geometries are generated by Oracle : SDO_Buffer function on multipoints geometries.

When i look to the SDO_GEOM example,there are three geometries (polygons) composed of five points with the first point being the same of the last one :

MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2007,26273,null,
MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(
1,1003,2,
11,1003,2,
21,1003,2),
MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(

--Geom 1 :
83933,            89879.010577196,
83936.989422804,  89883,
83933,            89886.989422804,
83929.010577196,  89883,
83933,            89879.010577196,

--Geom 2 :
83345,            89445.010577196,
83348.989422804,  89449,
83345,            89452.989422804,
83341.010577196,  89449,
83345,            89445.010577196,

--Geom 3 :
82793,            89490.010577196,
82796.989422804,  89494,
82793,            89497.989422804,
82789.010577196,  89494,
82793,            89490.010577196
))

So i suppose that the problem must be something else.

Other thing : If i change manually (but, of course, it's not a solution for the production version) the interpretation of the vertex from 2 to 1 (arcs to lines) Mapserver is able to draw the rectangles.

Thanks,

Julien Collaer

Julien, 

Looking at the SDO description in the Oracle MAN for . . . 


----------- 
1003 or 2003     2 

Polygon made up of a connected sequence of circular arcs that closes on itself. The end point of the last arc is the same as the start point of the first arc. 

Each circular arc is described using three coordinates: the start point of the arc, any point on the arc, and the end point of the arc. The coordinates for a point designating the end of one arc and the start of the next arc are not repeated. For example, five coordinates are used to describe a polygon made up of two connected circular arcs. Points 1, 2, and 3 define the first arc, and points 3, 4, and 5 define the second arc. The coordinates for points 1 and 5 must be the same (tolerance is not considered), and point 3 is not repeated. 
----------- 


It looks like the first and last points need to be the same and your record shows different points for the first and last entries.  You may have one extra point on the end as well (I think), or maybe you are just missing the last point on the end . . .

Hello Steve,

I'm currently using AGG driver. 
OUTPUTFORMAT
 NAME jpeg
 DRIVER "AGG/JPEG"
 MIMETYPE "image/jpeg"
 IMAGEMODE RGB
 EXTENSION "jpg"
 FORMATOPTION "QUALITY=80" 
 TRANSPARENT TRUE
END

I've just tested with GD and there is no change... the problem is still there.
I've put an attachment to this email : the png image from Oracle Mapviewer : the difference is that with Mapserver only the non circular geometries are drawed (These geometries are of interpretation 1 (vertex joined by lines and not arcs)).

Thanks,

Julien Collaer

Subject: [mapserver-users] SLD with Mapserver 5.4.2
Message-ID: <4A71CF1A.9070004@gmail.com>

Hi,

i've started using Mapserver few days ago and i cannot apply SLD styles.

i'm using  MapServer version 5.4.2
OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG
OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP
OUTPUT=SVG
SUPPORTS=PROJ
SUPPORTS=AGG
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=ICONV
SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=FASTCGI
SUPPORTS=THREADS
SUPPORTS=GEOS
INPUT=EPPL7
INPUT=POSTGIS
INPUT=OGR
INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE

under Ubuntu 9.04.

I want to user mapserver as WMS Server and the apply SLD styles on the 
fly... the common query is:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/wms?SERVICE=WMS&
VERSION=1.1.1&
REQUEST=GetMap&
BBOX=-74.012362,40.752314,-73.948216,40.791051&
SRS=EPSG:4326&
WIDTH=500&
HEIGHT=500&
LAYERS=myground,myroads&
FORMAT=image/gif&
TRANSPARENT=TRUE&
SLD=http://localhost/mysld.xml

But sld is not applying.

The question is: there are specific parameters for using SLD in mapfile?
I'm feeling a bit confused about this.

Thank You,

Andrea

Subject: [mapserver-users] label character spacing and curves
Message-ID: <379300.45451.qm@web83408.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>


Hello,

I'm having trouble with labels that follow a curve.  When the curves are tight,  the letters are too close together and appear in a jumble.  I'm using a true type font arial.  I'd like to space the characters but don't see an option for that.  What have others done to solve this problem?  Are there suggestions for other true type fonts that have a wider spacing?  Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

Unfortunately, I'm unaware of any current way to work around this 
problem, but Thomas would be the expert on this.

There are couple of issues in dealing with this problem in the code but 
they have not been implemented mostly because they would have an impact 
on performance and require time/effort of a developer.

Hi Thomas,

I'm not sure if you have thought about this at all, but here are a few 
ideas:

1) check that the bbox of the character being placed against the prior 
character and increase the space between the character if they collide.
2) on segments that double back on themselves, like bowties, you might 
need to perform the above check on all prior characters, taking more 
time, to avoid these type of collisions.

These checks might be dynamically enabled/disabled doing a quick scan of 
the part of the line segment that is being labeled and checking the 
angle between segments and maybe the length of the segments to see if 
there may be a need to do additional checking.

Yup, a documentation error. Doubles have been supported for label size, and style size/width
since 5.2 I believe. If you would, please file a documentation ticket in trac.

Hi Andrea,

to use SLD you won't need very special mapfile configuration. You
should pay attention to setting the imgpath parameter of the web
section correctly, i.e. accessible and writable by mapserver-cgi,
since the sld's are stored there temporarily while/after downloading
them from the specified URL. I am not aware of any other special
configuration, but very helpful are the debugging outputs, that you
can enable with the keyword DEBUG "on" at map or layer level. I find
it most convenient to specify an errorfile path via CONFIG
"MS_ERRORFILE" "/ms4w/tmp/ms_error.txt" at map level.

Be sure to set the SLD's NamedLayer Name tag value exactly the same as
your mapfile's layer name you want to style.

Cheers, Michael

hello

I am confused with regular expression. 

EXPRESSION ('[lkod]'  =~ /andezit | bazalt/' )

I just want to choose "andezit | bazalt" containing records.

But I got nothing. 

can you tell what the correct expression is ?

Hi,

maybe try removing the last quotation mark after the regex. Also, I
think the spaces are taken into account in your regex, so you should
try remove them and see if it works. I think sth. like

EXPRESSION ('[lkod]'  =~ /andezit|bazalt/ ) could work.

If the field "lkod" only contains the rock names and nothing else you
could try the logical expression form:

EXPRESSION ('[lkod]' == 'andezit' OR '[lkod]' == 'bazalt')

Cheers, Michael

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your answer :)

Now SLD is working i had a mistake with names references.

I have just another question: how is possible to "add" a style
using SLD without overriding the whole server style?

I explain what i want to do: I have a map served by MapServer, so a
mapfile with layers and styles. I want to add a style with "new"
characteristics (could be outline or overriding just the color of the text).

Thanks,
Andrea

Julien,

I know you said you verified the geometries by Mapviewer but have you tried
the sdo_validate layer routine? Just to be sure...

 

Example from the manual:

 

-- Is a layer valid? (First, create the result table.)

CREATE TABLE val_results (sdo_rowid ROWID, result varchar2(1000));

-- (Next statement must be on one command line.)

CALL
SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_LAYER_WITH_CONTEXT('COLA_MARKETS','SHAPE','VAL_RESULTS');

Call completed.

SQL> SELECT * from val_results;

SDO_ROWID

------------------

RESULT

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Rows Processed <12>

AAABXNAABAAAK+YAAC

13349 [Element <1>] [Ring <1>][Edge <1>][Edge <3>]

 

 

Cheers,

Pano

Hello Bob,

thanks for your fast response.

These geometries are generated by Oracle : SDO_Buffer function on
multipoints geometries.

When i look to the SDO_GEOM example,there are three geometries (polygons)
composed of five points with the first point being the same of the last one
:

MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2007,26273,null,
MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(
1,1003,2,
11,1003,2,
21,1003,2),
MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(

--Geom 1 :
83933,            89879.010577196,
83936.989422804,  89883,
83933,            89886.989422804,
83929.010577196,  89883,
83933,            89879.010577196,

--Geom 2 :
83345,            89445.010577196,
83348.989422804,  89449,
83345,            89452.989422804,
83341.010577196,  89449,
83345,            89445.010577196,

--Geom 3 :
82793,            89490.010577196,
82796.989422804,  89494,
82793,            89497.989422804,
82789.010577196,  89494,
82793,            89490.010577196
))

So i suppose that the problem must be something else.

Other thing : If i change manually (but, of course, it's not a solution for
the production version) the interpretation of the vertex from 2 to 1 (arcs
to lines) Mapserver is able to draw the rectangles.

Thanks,

Julien Collaer

Julien,

Looking at the SDO description in the Oracle MAN for . . .


-----------
1003 or 2003     2

Polygon made up of a connected sequence of circular arcs that closes on
itself. The end point of the last arc is the same as the start point of the
first arc.

Each circular arc is described using three coordinates: the start point of
the arc, any point on the arc, and the end point of the arc. The coordinates
for a point designating the end of one arc and the start of the next arc are
not repeated. For example, five coordinates are used to describe a polygon
made up of two connected circular arcs. Points 1, 2, and 3 define the first
arc, and points 3, 4, and 5 define the second arc. The coordinates for
points 1 and 5 must be the same (tolerance is not considered), and point 3
is not repeated.
-----------


It looks like the first and last points need to be the same and your record
shows different points for the first and last entries.  You may have one
extra point on the end as well (I think), or maybe you are just missing the
last point on the end . . .

The layer is rendered but no feature are displayed.

The geomtries are correct (verified with the Oracle MapViewer).

Subject: [mapserver-users] Bad image quality with PHP Mapscript
Message-ID: <20090731110429.66180@gmx.net>

Dear user list,

I have a simple question: What could be the reason (in my case) why the image output of PHP Mapscript generated files are much worse than with the mapserv binary file?

Both use the same mapfile with 3 layers - each for one zoomlevel.

The PHP Mapscript file reads the mapfile and writes the data to the browser without saving it - that's all ... I tried to enhance the quality by using the function "outputformat", but nothing changed.

Unfortunately I'm not able to show you the Code because I'm on holiday at the moment and I have no access to the files.

I hope you can help me on this issue.

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Andrea,

mapserver uses sld in "library" mode, meaning that if for a certain
layer of the mapfile an sld symbolization is provided it takes
precedence over the mapfile symbolization. If for another layer no sld
id provided, then the mapfile symbolization is used. Thus, As far as I
know you can only "replace" the symbolization of a complete layer and
not add styling in a sense of taking the labelling definitions from
the mapfile and the fill-color from the sld for one layer.

It may nevertheless be that some definitions regarding symbolization
are mixed, e.g. the transparency settings of a layer is kept when
applying an sld (at least this was the case for older versions).

When you really want to add something to the symbolization, a possible
approach would be to use the getstyle request to obtain mapserver's
sld-representation of the current layer styling, then you could add or
modify that and sent it back modified for a getmap request.

Cheers, Michael

I guess it would help if you were more explicit on what you mean by 
"much worse"... is it a color problem, font rendering problem, antialias 
vs no-antialias problem, ??? Perhaps post two sample maps for us to see 
and maybe someone will have an idea?

My first suggestions would be:

1- For your tests, make sure the CGI and the PHP versions both use the 
default output format and don't try to change it (via URL or scripting).

2- Did you compile and/or install multiple versions/copies of MapServer 
on your server? Make sure both the CGI and your PHP use the exact same 
version from the same build of MapServer. Different compile options 
could explain a difference in rendering quality.

Hello Pano,

 

Thanks for the idea, it wasn't done yet !

I've just executed the validate_layer_with_context verification Oracle function and my geometries are ok (the result table is empty for the circular / problematics geometries).

 

But some of the others geometries (correctly rendered by Mapserver) are presenting some errors (only some 13367 - vertex in wrong order)...

 

Thanks,

 

Julien Collaer

Julien,

I know you said you verified the geometries by Mapviewer but have you tried the sdo_validate layer routine? Just to be sure...

 

Example from the manual:

 

-- Is a layer valid? (First, create the result table.)

CREATE TABLE val_results (sdo_rowid ROWID, result varchar2(1000));

-- (Next statement must be on one command line.)

CALL SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_LAYER_WITH_CONTEXT('COLA_MARKETS','SHAPE','VAL_RESULTS');

Call completed.

SQL> SELECT * from val_results;

SDO_ROWID

RESULT

Hello Bob,

thanks for your fast response.

These geometries are generated by Oracle : SDO_Buffer function on multipoints geometries.

When i look to the SDO_GEOM example,there are three geometries (polygons) composed of five points with the first point being the same of the last one :

MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2007,26273,null,
MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(
1,1003,2,
11,1003,2,
21,1003,2),
MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(

--Geom 1 :
83933,            89879.010577196,
83936.989422804,  89883,
83933,            89886.989422804,
83929.010577196,  89883,
83933,            89879.010577196,

--Geom 2 :
83345,            89445.010577196,
83348.989422804,  89449,
83345,            89452.989422804,
83341.010577196,  89449,
83345,            89445.010577196,

--Geom 3 :
82793,            89490.010577196,
82796.989422804,  89494,
82793,            89497.989422804,
82789.010577196,  89494,
82793,            89490.010577196
))

So i suppose that the problem must be something else.

Other thing : If i change manually (but, of course, it's not a solution for the production version) the interpretation of the vertex from 2 to 1 (arcs to lines) Mapserver is able to draw the rectangles.

Thanks,

Julien Collaer

Julien,

Looking at the SDO description in the Oracle MAN for . . .


-----------
1003 or 2003     2

Polygon made up of a connected sequence of circular arcs that closes on itself. The end point of the last arc is the same as the start point of the first arc.

Each circular arc is described using three coordinates: the start point of the arc, any point on the arc, and the end point of the arc. The coordinates for a point designating the end of one arc and the start of the next arc are not repeated. For example, five coordinates are used to describe a polygon made up of two connected circular arcs. Points 1, 2, and 3 define the first arc, and points 3, 4, and 5 define the second arc. The coordinates for points 1 and 5 must be the same (tolerance is not considered), and point 3 is not repeated.
-----------


It looks like the first and last points need to be the same and your record shows different points for the first and last entries.  You may have one extra point on the end as well (I think), or maybe you are just missing the last point on the end . . .

Michael, using java, we get the layer's style from the request.
Before doing the new request to WMS server, we tried to extract the
old style and then add a new style (in the new request there are  the 
old and the  new ones)

So using geotools we have:

    [...]
      StyleImpl styleImpl = new StyleImpl(); // istantiate new Style
      List<FeatureTypeStyle> featuresStyles = new
    ArrayList<FeatureTypeStyle>(); //define list of styles
      featuresStyles.add(featureTypeStyle); // defining style list
      styleImpl.setFeatureStyles(featuresStyles);   // applying feature
    styles to the current style
     
      List<StyleImpl> st = new ArrayList<StyleImpl>(); // the new style list
      st.add(style); // adding the old style coming from the request
      st.add(styleImpl); // adding our new style
      
      // then defining the new request with layer...
      Layer l = new Layer(); 
      l.setStyles(st);
      l.setName("nycroads");
      request.addLayer(l);

    [...]

So we are trying to:
 - ask getCapabilites to WMS  server
 - retrieving the style list from the layer
 - retrieve the old style from the layer
 - create a new style for the layer
 - insert one old style and a new one to the layer
 - do a request with the elaborated layer

result: not working :)

is it a good approach?

Thank you,
Andrea

One of your SRID codes will need to be corrected (I suspect the 1st
one). You are using coordinates in degrees, and some other units for
thesame SRID?

Once you get your coordinates in the same projection (you can use the
postgis transform function), you can use the postgis distance
function. And you wouldn't need to necessarily store the coordinates
captured from the user, just build a point geometry from the numbers.

Hello,

 

I created a tile index for an air photo.  I would like to know how to
determine an appropriate scale for each tile index level.

 

Thanks

Hi Alex,
Thank You very much for pointing out the mistake. But still I am facing
some problem. My GPS is collecting data in NAD1983 which I found
corresponds to SRID 4269. The extent of the Addison area is 
2445459.0713  7001896.9648  2514178.5480  7070616.4415
 It is in LCC NAD1983(ft) which I found to correspond with SRID 2276.
I am using the Transform function like below:
The coordinates with which I am testing are :lat 32.98 and long -96.83

Select ST_Transform(gpscoords,2276) from gpsdata;

But it is throwing error :
ERROR: transform: couldn't project point:-14 (latitude or longitude
exceeded)SQL state:XX000

Any idea how to proceed?
Thanks
Suman

It means what it says: one of your points has a invalid ordinate, so it 
cannot be transformed.

Try this to debug it. Look through them manually and find the one that 
has the wrong latitude or longitude then correct or delete it.

SELECT astext(the_geom) from gpsdata;

You can also try these, to sort the list and perhaps make the bad 
coordinate show up at the start or end of the list:

SELECT astext(the_geom) from gpsdata order by x(the_geom);
SELECT astext(the_geom) from gpsdata order by x(the_geom) DESC;
SELECT astext(the_geom) from gpsdata order by y(the_geom);
SELECT astext(the_geom) from gpsdata order by y(the_geom) DESC;

Hi Greg,
Thank You very much. I was just trying and found the fault.Actually the
longitude should come first and then the latitude. I was doing otherwise
and so the error.
Now the transform function is working.
Thanks

It looks like if I switch to the OGR driver for Shapefiles, my issues are
resolved. 
Are there any drawbacks to using the OGR driver vs the Native mapserver
drivers?

Many thanks,
Michelle

Michelle,

The OGR driver is slower - quite a bit of extra overhead going from shape
objects to OGR objects to mapserver objects.

Mark,

  Take the pixel size in meters and multiply by 4,000; that will get you
close.  So for a image with a pixel size of 5 meters, a good scale would
be 1:20,000.  Any larger than that (say 1:10,000) and you'll start to
see pixel edges.

  Unless you meant something else?...

Brent Fraser
