[postgis-users] new simplify version (0.2)

[Vincent Schut]

Well, I should be carefull... I did an upgrade to postgis 0.7.5 and simplify 
0.2 at the same time... So it could, in theory, be one of both or both...

I am using several gis files of indonesia (provinces, districts, concessions, 
etc.) which have been produced at a very high resolution. These are 
shapefiles. I load them in postgis to do some querying, and processing, and 
then display them with mapserver (either from postgis, or from pgsql2shp 
generated shapefiles) well, that's where your simplify comes in handy, of 
course...
However, with postgis 0.7.4 / simplify 0.1 the result often lacked some 
polygons, sometimes even all except one.
Now, new postgis and simplify, I get at least all my polygons. Though the 
shapefiles seem to be buggy (or hard), cause mapserver has problems 
rendering/placing some labels (they just disappear, see my post about this on 
the mapserver-users mailing list...).
Well, anyway, the combination postgis0.7.5/simplify0.2 is handling my (buggy) 
shapefiles better now.

BTW strange about that pop server not wanting to allow my mail.... Hope it was 
a coincidence...
BTW2: I'll be off now and in Brasil next week so alas, no more 
conversations... Don't expect a reply on an eventual reply on this email 
before monday may 12th. Then, I'll be more than happy to continue this...

Cheers,
Vincent.
