[mapserver-users] Anyone used MapServer to draw (things other thanmaps) with?

[Ian Walberg]

Bob,

We draw some data tables with maps as backgrounds by setting the
transform off and then using simple x y locations and everything works
very well.

Regards

Ian

All, 

 

I'm needing to draw some simple, but longish charts showing a GPS
timeline.  I'm thinking about trying to set up MapServer to generate
them dynamically. 

 

In the past I would have went to PGPLOT for this type of thing (It's
what I used for mapping before finding MapServer), And I see that it's
installed in Ubuntu now by default. 

 

So, my question, is this worth anything to anyone else?  has anyone done
this already, got any pointers?  The data is all in POSTGIS, so I have a
fair level of flexibility with formatting the data for MapServer use.  I
could for example format my data in such a way as to fool mapserver into
thinking it's some sort of map projection for display, etc.  I assume
all should work well with straight Cartesian Coordinates. 

 

Thanks
