Years ago we had experimented with using Mapserver to do
automated mapping (to produce printed maps 34 x 46 inches). The
maps were of pipeline alignments and needed to be rotated so the
pipeline was roughly parallel to the X axis of the paper. And
they required imagery as a backdrop. And they required a
[rotated] labelled graticule. In the end we had to use a
combination of Mapserver, Arcview, and custom s/w. <br>
<br>
Let me know how your efforts turn out...<br>

about doing some sort of pipeline for drawing with

In the past I've dabbled with having layers to " erase"the
map data around the perimeter:<br>
<br>
LAYER<br>
NAME "Margin"<br>
TRANSFORM FALSE<br>
STATUS DEFAULT<br>
TYPE POLYGON<br>
CLASS<br>
COLOR 255 255 255<br>
END<br>
FEATURE<br>
POINTS 0 0 0 600 70 600 70 0 0 0 END<br>
POINTS 70 0 70 70 800 70 800 0 70 0 END <br>
POINTS 70 600 800 600 800 530 70 530 70 600 END<br>
POINTS 730 70 730 530 800 530 800 70 730 70 END<br>
END<br>
END<br>
<br>
#-----------------------------------------------------------<br>
LAYER<br>
NAME "NeatLine"<br>
TRANSFORM FALSE<br>

Also I've experimented with adding FORMATOPTIONs to
OUTPUTFORMAT code (see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2009-January/008050.html">http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2009-January/008050.html</a>)<br>
<br>
How big do you plan to make your maps? Will they include
imagery?<br>

style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS ,

USNG collaring to maps in general as a grid overlay. I’m
pretty sure I ca do this with PERL, but all the
re-projection capabilities in MapServer make it much more
attractive. There are also quite a fe desires finishing
options that I would like to include related to rotation
and alignment. I’m open to applying the collar on or off
(outside of ) the map itself.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS ,

ESRI and AutoDesk tools for accomplishing the same results
as well. AutoDesk has a fairly well thought out XML file
format for defining the grid labeling, it’s almost SLD-ish
as a matter of fact. I’ve also been involved in a couple
of Javascript mashups to provide USNG overlays to maps,
but they aren’t hardcopy centric, which is what I need to
focus on.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
