[mapserver-users] WMS GetMap request - incorrect layer ordering

Wed Oct 19 10:01:11 PDT 2011

Hi,

Sorry, you are right, having STATUS DEFAULT is placing the mask layer on the bottom. Please consider creating a bug or feature request.

Here is an example.

http://188.64.1.61/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/usr/map/osm-mapserver_i.map&REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&WIDTH=459&HEIGHT=353&LAYERS=borders&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&BBOX=2517824.575070821,6461673.824362606,4426029.305949009,7929203.824362606&SRS=EPSG:2393&STYLES=

And this is my the mask layer

LAYER
    TYPE POLYGON
    STATUS DEFAULT
    REQUIRES "[borders]"
    #GROUP "default"
    NAME "mask"
    DUMP TRUE
    PROJECTION
        "init=epsg:2393"
    END
    DATA "/usr/data/vektorit/mask.shp"
    CLASS
        STYLE
            COLOR 100 100 190
        END
    END
END

Hi,

Works for me. Do you have raster layer first in the mapfile, mask underneath it?

Thanks Jukka.  Unfortunately, setting "STATUS DEFAULT" forces the mask
layer to the bottom of the draw order so it can't do it's job.

Approaching the problem from a different perspective - are you aware of
any raster processing directive which would clip a layer on the fly?

Thanks again for all your help on this.
