[mapserver-users] [mapserver-dev] RFC113 Chainable Compositing Filters

Tue Oct 6 08:26:51 PDT 2015

Hi Marc: Thanks for the snippet - always easier when you see practical examples. Again, your maps are great. The detail is insane -  line-work in the sporting facilities, boats in the harbor and the trees... wow. No cars on the roads but I'm sure it's just a matter of time!

Steve

Hi Thomas, Hi Steeve,

Thanks for your nice comments on our maps ... and thanks for the great implementation of the new filters that will help us to improve our cartography. We are great fans of mapserver here at SITN.

In the current version http://sitn.ne.ch/production/wsgi/short/oyno9  we use the 7.0 hack. We will use the new possibilities developed by Thomas asap.
Here is an example for the lakes

LAYER
    NAME "lakes_situation"
    METADATA
        "wms_title" "Lacs suisse"
        "wms_srs" "EPSG:21781 EPSG:54004 EPSG:3785 EPSG:4326 EPSG:900913"
    END
    GROUP "Fonds_carto"
    TYPE POLYGON
    STATUS ON
    CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
    CONNECTION ...
    PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"
    DATA "geom from mobilite2030.lacs_mobilite using unique idobj using srid=21781"    
    CLASS
        STYLE
            COLOR 180 230 255
            OUTLINECOLOR 107 185 235
            WIDTH 0.5
        END
    END
END

LAYER
    NAME "lakes_situation_shading"
    METADATA
        "wms_title" "lacs_situation ombrage"
        "wms_srs" "EPSG:21781 EPSG:54004 EPSG:3785 EPSG:4326 EPSG:900913"
    END
    GROUP "Fonds_carto"
    TYPE POLYGON
    CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
    CONNECTION ...
    PROCESSING "CLOSE_CONNECTION=DEFER"
    DATA "geom from mobilite2030.lacs_mobilite using unique idobj using srid=21781"
    STATUS ON
     COMPOSITE
      OPACITY 50
      COMPFILTER "10"
    END
    CLASS
        STYLE
            GEOMTRANSFORM (buffer([shape],-8))
            COLOR 255 255 255
        END
    END
END

All credit for those beautiful maps go to the http://sitn.ne.ch/ team, I didn't have a play in them. I've cc'd Marc who might be able to share more details as to what he was using exactly (note that those maps predate the actual filter chaining implementation, and used a hack present in 7.0 along with drawing the shaded layers twice).
For the water bodies, I suspect it can be done with:

COMPOSITE
 #first we render normal water color
END
COMPOSITE
 COMPFILTER "whiten()"
 COMPFILTER "blur(5)"
 COMPOP "soft-light"
 OPACITY 50
END
CLASS
 STYLE
  COLOR water-color
 END
END

At present filters are not supported on labels (unless they don't go through the labelcache). They could be supported in the longer run if we explicitely had a "labelcache" layer that we could draw into and that we could therefore plug into the compositing chain.

regards,
thomas
