[mapserver-users] TEMPLATE generation completion (NOT!)

[Bob Basques]

All, 

Still more info . . . 

I think I may have found the problem.  Some of these polygons have holes in them.  I know I've seen threads before about polygons with holes in them and such.  Could this be where the problems are originating? 

Thanks

All, 


More info: 


Is there possibly a limit to how large a point list can be in POLYGON imagemap, either in MapServer output, or as a standard for imagemaps? 


This dataset that I'm working with has some really intricate polygons with lot's of vertices.  I just zoomed in on a couple of areas very tight, only displaying three features. and even at this scale, the number of vertices is huge for two of the polygons.  I only see maybe 10-15 vertices on screen, but there are many other offscreen as well. 


As far as I understand how the imagemaping process works (and is bared out by the output I'm seeing), is that the imagemap grabs the vertices of the polygons, even those off screen and displays the feature in it's entirety even though it's not displayed completely inside of the current query BBOX. 


Is there a way to clip the imagemap output to the current BBOX request size, this would essentially truncate the polygons at the edges of the view, which would reduce the number of overall vertices dramatically. 


Thanks

All, 


Ok, this problem has returned, and on the same layer.   I've traced everything around even through our weird file repository, I've made sure everything is synced on the backend file servers and the files are all replicated as they should be, with the proper permissions.  I cannot get this particular layer to output the closing tag in the imagemap. 


any other ideas on what to check?

Steve, 


Ok, I have no idea what happened, but fixing the name of the footer file (back to what it was) fixed the call, it now pops out with the FOOTER content. 


Must have been some weird permission error, but wouldn't that throw an error just like breaking the name?   Looks like it fixed itself as a result of editing the name . . . . 


Thanks, I think, (I'm going to leave it alone for a while while it's working . . . . ;c)  I still wonder what went on there though. 


I should mention too that this is updating via WEBDAV, I always forget this part because I use it day in and day out and it's always there as a folder.  Also, all the configuration files reside inside of SVN.  Anyway, those are the funky configuration elements I was talking about earlier. 


Thanks again, though really, this one was driving me over the edge . . . .
