[mapserver-users] Is there a way to convert a QGIS layout

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

Hi,

>Not sure if this is what you meant though?

I meant that I did not know if these two things can be done:

1) I did not know if I can create styles for a layer with QGIS, save style as SLD and that SLD without any further modification with Mapserver.  So I had to test it and it seems to work at least with a rather simple SLD . I used the Geoserver demo data "states.shp" as data and the SLD that I made with QGIS is here http://latuviitta.org/documents/states_qgis.sld

2) I did not know if it is possible to convert styles from SLD into CLASSes and STYLEs as they are used in mapfiles but deduikertjes wrote "You can do this conversion by python-mapscript". Well, "you" there does not mean me because I can't do anything with python-mapscript but if QGIS exporter is using that under the hood then the answer is Yes also for this question.

The SLD output of QGIS can be good but I am not so sure how good Mapserver is with importing SLD. That could be tested through WMS GetMap and &SLD= or with &SLD_BODY= but there is no tool for converting SLD into layer styles as text which could be saved and used in static mapfiles, or is there?

MapServer handles application of external SLD just fine.

Not sure if this is what you meant though?
