[mapserver-users] Map collaring techniques.

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

All,

Anyone have any insights into using/modifying MapServer to label maps collar wise (along the edges)??

I'm interested in applying USNG collaring to maps in general as a grid overlay.  I'm pretty sure I ca do this with PERL, but all the re-projection capabilities in MapServer make it much more attractive.  There are also quite a fe desires finishing options that I would like to include related to rotation and alignment.  I'm open to applying the collar on or off (outside of ) the map itself.

I've worked with both the ESRI and AutoDesk tools for accomplishing the same results as well.  AutoDesk has a fairly well thought out XML file format for defining the grid labeling, it's almost SLD-ish as a matter of fact.  I've also been involved in a couple of Javascript mashups to provide USNG overlays to maps, but they aren't hardcopy centric, which is what I need to focus on.

Thanks

Bobb
