[mapserver-users] geotiff 48bit with mapserver 7 wms

So, i did some testing.

The wms is not serving the images with float32 as data type. It shows 
the same issue, false colors.
The wcs is working and serving the float32 data type data.
For my use-case setting the MAXSIZE higher than the tile dimension was 
important.

Well QGIS does show just a black image, but GlobalMapper is loading the 
data.

Just out of curiosity, can somebody explain "WCS_SIZE" "..." to me? Is 
this the size in pixel x y for the complete TILE_INDEX?

David
