Hi Thomas,

I believe we are using fribidi but I am not sure which version, I will
look further into this and report back to with my findings.

Thank You,


Peter Mallen

Hi,

I have been running TinyOWS r558 for quite a long time because it is
dealing almost right with the axis order of the projections I am
commonly using. Now I had a fast try with the current TinyOWS 1.1.0
version but unfortunately I realized that it is doing wrong thing by
flipping the axis with urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3067. That system is
officially an Easting-Northing system and axis should not be flipped
ever.  Also, TinyOWS does not flip the axes with
urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::2393 which is officially a Northing-Easting system
and axis should be flipped with WFS 1.1.0

I can see that TinyOWS is flipping the axis with WFS 1.1.0 if I I give
srsName=urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::3067 or if I do not give it at all, which
means the same because the uri-format is the default srsName.  Axis
order is correct if I give it as srsName=EPSG:3067.  With EPSG:2393 axis
are not flipped with either srsName format. What should be done next is
to flip the behaviours of 2393 and 3067.

What is the logic that TinyOWS is using when it decides whether the axis
should be flipped or not  for WFS 1.1.0?  Can I manipulate TinyOWS
somehow myself to behave in a correct way with EPSG:2393 and EPSG:3067
by editing something in the PostGIS or in  TinyOWS sources?  Another
question is that is it guaranteed that axis order is handled similarly
everywhere, also in filters? I mean that can I trust that once TinyOWS
someday will again send  urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::2393 data as
Northing-Easting with WFS 1.1.0 it will then also treat the GML3 filters
so that is knows that first comes Northing and then Easting?  Does the
srsName format have the same meaning if filters, so that if short
srsName is used then axis order is always Easting-Northing or lon-lat,
but when the uri format is used then TinyOWS is trying to check the
official axis with WFS 1.1.0?

You could create a GDAL VRT file for your image in which you associate a
color table to the raster band, and then point your MapServer layer
definition to the VRT.

See:

Subject: [mapserver-users] Problem with Transparency and IMAGECOLOR
Message-ID: <50CF1B06.2060902 at terrestris.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15"; Format="flowed"

Hi,

I have a question regarding the transparency of my mapfile together with

mapserver 6.2.
The documentation tells me, that using the Parameter IMAGECOLOR together

with TRANSPARENT ON in OUTPUTFORMAT, the resulting image of a wms 
request should have the defined color transparent.

I tried different approaches but none of them work.

So here is an example of my layer:

LAYER
     TYPE POLYGON
     STATUS ON
     GROUP "default"
     NAME "land"
     PROJECTION
         "init=epsg:900913"
     END
     DATA "../shapefiles/test"
     CLASS
         STYLE
             COLOR 255 255 0
         END
     END
END

The relevant Map parameters:

OUTPUTFORMAT
     NAME 'test'
     DRIVER GD/PNG
     IMAGEMODE PC256
     FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=false"
     TRANSPARENT ON
END

IMAGECOLOR 255 255 0

I also tried agg/png drivers together with IMAGEMODE RGBA, but all 
combinations give me a yellow, non transparent response (i request the 
layer with transparent=true and image/png as format).

Can anyone give me an advice what i am doing wrong, or is this a bug?
Thanks,

J. Weskamm

Hi,
The following issue has been observed with MapServer 6.0.3:

1. Very good quality for a PNG with RESAMPLE=BILINEAR and
OVERSAMPLE_RATIO=16:
[image:
http://wms-bgdi.bgdi.admin.ch/?lang=xx&LAYERS=ch.swisstopo.pixelkarte-gr

IGHT=256]

2. Less good quality for a PNG or JPEG with default resampling settings:
[image:
http://wms-bgdi.bgdi.admin.ch/?lang=xx&LAYERS=ch.swisstopo.pixelkarte-gr
au-pk100_original&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=G

6&HEIGHT=256]

3. Awful quality for JPEG with RESAMPLE=BILINEAR and
OVERSAMPLE_RATIO=16:
[image:
http://wms-bgdi.bgdi.admin.ch/?lang=xx&LAYERS=ch.swisstopo.pixelkarte-gr

EIGHT=256]

Any idea why the OVERSAMPLE_RATIO affects heavily the quality of JPEG
images ?

Thanks in advance for your help,
C?dric
