[mapserver-users] Mapserver for indoor maps

[Benjamin V.]

Hello there,

I'm currently involved in a project where I used the OpenLayers
framework to display a set of wireless nodes (as features) on a google
maps layer. What I'm trying to achieve now is to do the same for an
indoor testbed where I only have a "map" of the floor as a raster image
(png). I want to serve this through mapserver using an arbitrary extent
(I don't care much about meaningful lon/lat-values) on a single layer
which I then want to integrate using an OpenLayers.Layer.MapServer
I've been looking through a lot of tutorials to get an idea of how to
place a raster image somewhere on a layer but couldn't find any solution
that does what I need. Basically, starting off with something like this
in a map file - what would I have to add to achieve what I had in mind:
MAP
...
  LAYER
        NAME indoor
        TYPE RASTER
        DATA indoor_map.png
        STATUS DEFAULT
...
  END
...
END

Best regards,
