[mapserver-users] Color the world, but not my country

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

How about Inline polygon covering -180 -90 180 90 in epsg:4326 http://www.mapserver.org/input/vector/inline.html?

I came across this, but I'm not quite sure to what other layer it should relate? I would only have the 'Netherlands' description of the borders.

I do not want to use the world dataset file, because it's too big. I cannot just add a 'complement' to the country layer or am I misinterpreting the mask function?

It would be solved I believe if I could add a LAYER which did not require a datasource and renders everything black, but that is not possible I believe, because mapserver always requires a type and the annotation type is deprecated since 6.2

Thanks in advance.

I think the MASK layer should do what you want:

Dear,

I have a country shapefile and I would like to style everything, besides
the one feature in the polygon.

This is a shapefile layer, so I'm wondering on how I could possibly
improve this:


         LAYER
                 NAME "gadm"
                 TYPE POLYGON
TRANSPARENCY 70
                 DATA "gadm28.shp"
                 STATUS default
DEBUG 4

                 CLASS
EXPRESSION ("[ISO]" != "NLD")

                         style
                                 color "#000000"
                         end

                 END
         END

Basically, I would like to only use the data from the netherlands (NLD),
because it's a lot less data, and color everything else, besides the one
feature that it has.

My above (working example) is taking the entire world and only filtering
out what I want to see.

The goal is to visually create a map of a single country and block out
all the rest ;-). It's rendered as a tile layer. (gmaps)

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Best regards,
Wim
