[mapserver-users] Anaimated images as map sources

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

I'm not an AGG expert but that's probably not the component in play here anyway. Presumably whatever the source imagery it would/should be considered a raster dataset. I guess I'd look into how GDAL deals with animated input and then figure out if that can be configured through MapServer. I guess it wouldn't surprise me if GDAL considered individual frames as bands. Maybe that's the way to think about.

Hi Steve,

So,

What AGG functions are used in MapServer?  I just went looking for what AGG stood for.  Found some animation examples, but they were final constructs, not specifically clipping an existing animated image.

What I was going to attempt, was to to try and set up a animated image from NOAA as a data source for Mapserver.  They have the separate images available as well, which I would need to assemble after clipping into a image, Hmmm, maybe a layer per time index, ten hit that from the CGI through MapServer, then into a animated image for use in the map.  Still sounds clunky though.

Not that I'm aware of.

All,

Can Mapserver slice and dice an Animated (GIF or PN or ??) map source image and return a resulting animated image?

I found a refernce to it NOT owrking for a WMS to WMS call where the upstream WMS service would produce a Animated GIF, but the downstream Mapserver WMS client would only see (present) the first frame of the animation.

Thanks
