[mapserver-users] elevation DEM color ramp map file

[pcreso at pcreso.com]

Not mapserver specific, but there are several options at CPT city.

You'll need to code them into mapserver yourself. It is often easier to generate a georeferenced image (geotiff, PNG with world file, ...) with an appropriate palette with something like GMT & just use this with mapserver. Even have a CGI build the raster map on the fly for mapserver to access.

I'm just curious but does anyone know of Mapserver .map files, or color map text files, with classes designed for a elevation DEM?  Or possibly a list of color ramps that work well for DEM maps? I read that GRASS had some predefined templates for applying color to DEMs and wondering if Mapserver has a similar thing, perhaps shared on a wiki or other site.  The DEM I'm working with now has low relief, from -5 meters to about 150 meters, however a general method or set of map files that can be applied to a range of DEMs could be helpful to many.  Does something like this exist?  Thanks.
