[mapserver-users] Rendering VMAP1 & VMAP2 in VPF Format

[Francis, Mike]

Thanks, I was converting to shape files for performance reasons and to merge multiple vector maps of the same type into one shape file.   For my application the user imports one or more vector maps and software has to automatically generate the layers for rendering them.  I guess a better question would have been if there is an easy way to rendering a lot of separate vector maps in map server via an automated software process.

Thanks again

Mike

You don't have to convert it (although it may bring you performance to do so). If your GDAL contains the OGDI driver, you can read it natively (http://www.gdal.org/drv_ogdi.html)

Good Morning,

What is the easiest way to load Vector Maps (VMAP1 & VMAP2) into map server.  From what I have read vector maps need to be converted into a shape file and then a layer needs to be defined for that shape file.  I have created a script that takes set of VPF files and creates a point, line, area, and text shape file.  From that point I am able to create a layer that is able to render lines and points. I have not been able to get areas and text vector data to display anything.   Does a layer require a special property to render area and text?  Is there an easier way to render VPF data?

Thanks,

Mike Francis
