[mapserver-users] Anaimated images as map sources

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Steve,

I can get the individual images online, I can run them together with PERL too, was just wondering where support was at in MapServer.

I'll hit it tomorrow with some hacking

Bob,

You might look at doing something like using mapcache to generate the
images needed for the animation as multiple separate layers. Then look
at using imagemagic in a perl script to combine the layers into a single
animated gif image and putting the combined image into another layer in
the cache. If you configure the new animated layer in mapcache and don't
ask mapcache to modify the image it will just serve the animated gifs, I
would think. If it doesn't a little bit of apache mod-perl can be done
to efficiently serve them. What other formats support animation? gif,
flash, others?

Anyway, my guess  is that you will need to do some custom work to get it
going.
