[mapserver-users] KML generation-partially working

[Sowmya Tiramdasu]

Hi Michael,

 

  I see your point. But, the images itself are blank. So making the paths
absolute has no difference. When the output format is png, I get all the
layers rendered correctly. But when the Output format is set to KML only,
the image outputs from each layer are coming blank :(.

 

So any inputs regarding this? Has anyone else ran in to the same situation?

 

Thanks, 
Sowmya.

You probably have to set your WEB / IMAGEURL to an absolute path since
otherwise the kml references are relative and not picked up.

 

And please, reply to the list, there are others that can learn and respond
that way.

Hi Michael, 

 

  I looked in to the KML file. It looks fine. But the Images which have been
generated in the ms_tmp files are blank. There was an image for each layer,
which came out to be blank and for my layer 'ControlPoints' I gave under
class ->Symbol-> Circle. So I have an image corresponding to this symbol in
ms_tmp which is being used as the styleUrl in the KML. yet I am seeing a
cross mark for that place mark in the Google earth. 

 

For the layer 'sbet' - it is a line, so there is no image generated at all
and this layer is being displayed good on the Google earth. 

 

                LAYER

                                NAME         ControlPoints #Photogrammetric
points

                                DATA         Photogrammetric_Point

                                STATUS       OFF

                                TYPE         POINT

                                CLASS

                                                STYLE

                                                                # Symbol to
be used (reference)

                                                                SYMBOL
"circle"

                                                                # Size of
the symbol in pixels

                                                                SIZE 8

                                                                COLOR 190 20

                                                                # Outline
colour (RGB) - black

                                                                OUTLINECOLOR
0 0 0

                                                END 

                                END

                                PROJECTION

                                                "init=epsg:2246"

                                END

                END 

 

KML :

 

<Style id="style_symbol_circle_8.0_ffbe14be">

      <IconStyle>

        <Icon>

          <href>/ms_tmp/502a9927_2bc4_10.png</href>

Have you looked inside the KML file?

 

You can also set a DEBUG value on your layer (and mapfile) and look for
anything that might be interrupting your KML write.
