[mapserver-users] WMS services from a NetCDF file layer

[Bill Hudspeth]

After determining the data value range (min/max) with gdalinfo -stats for a specific layer, I have now tried both with no satisfactory results...

PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO"
PROCESSING "SCALE=313.72549438477:425.49020385742"

For the PROCESSING "SCALE=<low>:<high>" option you have to replace the
<low> and <high> with the respective values (you can use gdalinfo -stats
to see what the minimum and maximum values of the image are).

Perhaps, you could transform your image on the command line using
gdal_translate with the respective "-scale" option and see what the
output is there.

Fabian
