Re: [mapserver-users] two lines form one inside the other
Hi Ahmet, You can use two styles in your class. Something like: CLASS ... STYLE #bigger white one COLOR "#FF" OPACITY 0.5 WIDTH 4 END STYLE #smaller black one COLOR "#00" WIDTH 2 END ...

[mapserver-users] label outline not changing when sizeunits meters
Hi all, I filed a but about a month ago (https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/5107) about an issue that I started having with a mapfile where the outline on labels with SIZEUNITS METERS no longer seemed to be correct. No matter what I set OUTLINEWIDTH to, the outline stays the same. I would appreciate it if someone would let me know if I'm doing something wrong, or if there really is a bug there.

Re: [mapserver-users] About FILTER and FILTERITEM
You do not need to set both FILTERITEM and FILTER. You can just set FILTER to an expression using as many attributes as you need. e.g. FILTER (( [POPULATION] 50 ) AND ([DISPLAY] == 1)). Just like you can have multiple attributes in a class EXPRESSION. I think it's the section of the document that is key - the MapServer Expressions section talks about using FILTER and EXPRESSION in more complex logical expressions, where as the section you quoted is talking about basic string comparison.

FILTERITEM is set to the attribute name. FILTER is set to the value for comparison. The same rule applies to CLASSITEM in the LAYER object and EXPRESSION in the CLASS object.

Re: [mapserver-users] Projection values of mapfile
Hello, If you are using a recent version of PROJ.4, you should be able to use epsg:3857 for Web Mercator. MapServer can reproject your data on-the-fly if you also have projection blocks in your layer definitions to say what projection the data are (i.e. epsg:4326). This will slow down the map draws somewhat, so if you are planning to always display this map in Web Mercator, it's a good idea to reproject your shapefiles. ... oh, it looks like Jeff beat me to it :) Christy On 11/05/2012 11:06 PM, Forest wrote: Hello everyone, I've been using shp2img tools to generate tile image by mapfile.

[mapserver-users] Cairo SVG PDF output
Hi all, I have been looking into something I just noticed when I change the output of a map draw from png to Cairo svg or pdf. A 300px by 300px png image became a 375 px by 375 px svg according to Inkscape. I realized this is because the size of the svg was specified in points and Inkscape was assuming a dpi of 90 instead of 72. I tried changing the RESOLUTION parameter in my mapfile to 90, but (and I already knew this) changing the RESOLUTION value only affects the sizes of features in the map, not the output map size. I edited the svg xml for the size to be in px instead of pt, which seemed to make the svg draw the same size as the png in Chrome and Firefox. Is there a way to have the units for cairo output images set to be pixels instead of points? Am I wrong in thinking there is a problem with the way it works now?

Hello, I was wondering if someone could let me know if my logic here is flawed... I am testing layers of TYPE UNION.

E.g.: # == # Layer: Layer 1 for union # == LAYER NAME layer_1_for_union STATUS OFF TYPE POINT SIZEUNITS PIXELS DATA points1 END # == # Layer: Layer 2 for union # == LAYER NAME layer_2_for_union STATUS OFF TYPE POINT SIZEUNITS PIXELS DATA points2 END # == # Layer: UNION Layer # == LAYER NAME union_layer STATUS DEFAULT TYPE POINT SIZEUNITS PIXELS CONNECTIONTYPE UNION CONNECTION layer_1_for_union,layer_2_for_union PROCESSING ITEMS=TYPE,ELEV CLASS NAME At 4ft or lower EXPRESSION ([ELEV] = 4) STYLE SYMBOL 'circle' COLOR 0 255 0 SIZE 15 END END CLASS NAME Above 4ft EXPRESSION ([ELEV] = 100) STYLE SYMBOL 'circle' COLOR 0 255 255 SIZE 15 END END CLASS NAME Other STYLE SYMBOL 'circle' COLOR 180 180 180 SIZE 15 END END END However, if I have styling in the source layers (i.e. layer_1_for_union and layer_2_for_union) and use STYLEITEM AUTO in the union layer, the two source layers must have STATUS DEFAULT for anything to show up (which, I think, causes them to be drawn twice?).

Re: [mapserver-users] Rendering bridges
Hi,
If you draw it in two layers, one with the colour and width you want for
the bridges, and the other with the road line to go on top, you will
essentially cover up the end caps. The bridges layer would have to come
first in the mapfile, followed by the road line layer.

The feature that he is referencing is just a line segment with an additional
attribute of 'bridge=yes'.
* bridge: yes
* highway: trunk
* layer: 1
* name: Manchester Road
* ref: A56
If you just wanted to use the road data and not create an additional bridges
data set, you would likely need to split up the road features so that the
segment that is a bridge is an individual feature.
I haven't worked with any shapefile extracts from OSM, so the data may already
be like this.
Assuming that you have a line shapefile that has a column called 'bridge', you
could set up two classes in your roads layer. The first one would have an
expression like ('[bridge] = 'yes') and the second class wouldn't have an
expression so it would catch the rest of the lines.
In the first class, you would stack two lines, the bottom one being the color
of your bridge and wider than the roads line that will go on top of it.
David.

Re: [mapserver-users] How do I have a polygon with an outline with a width?
Hi, If you are indeed using MapServer 5.4, you should be able to control the width of a polygon's outline by specifying an OUTLINECOLOUR and a WIDTH. I just tested with the 5.4 svn branch and had no trouble. I'm not sure what you mean by it seems that MapServer cannot read a symbol file for polygons - I have no problem using it to specify a fill pattern, but I don't think it can be used to specify an outline style.

[mapserver-users] Multiple WRAP Characters

I've found some discussion about the feasibility of introducing the ability to specify multiple WRAP characters related to RFC 40. Has there been any further discussion? I have been working on a dataset with many French names, and am wondering how to proceed to have both spaces and hyphens treated as WRAP characters (I guess, for now, separate classes could be used.

it be a nice idea to allow for a commaseparated set/list of

Re: [mapserver-users] data handling capacity of map server
Hi, As far as I know, there is no particular limiting data size that MapServer can work with. A lot will depend on how you optimize the data (see http://mapserver.org/optimization/index.html ). I am currently working on a map that has more than 60GB of vector data (shapefiles) and 64GB of raster data (geotiffs). There are other methods not discussed in the optimization document that can also be explored (e.g. using shp2tile/tile4ms, to create tiled shapefiles so that only the required features are considered for a given map extent) but I would suggest trying out the described methods to see if they suffice. In my experience, one of the best ways to speed up the drawing of vector layers is to limit the use of filters and class expressions on large data files.

Re: [mapserver-users] mapfile: displaying a feature from a shapefile.
Hi, As already mentioned, what is missing is the LABELITEM in your layer definition. Without this, MapServer will not know what attribute to use for labelling. Your layer should look something like this: # Road tracks LAYER NAME 'mytown' TYPE LINE DATA '/var/www/manual/examples/mytown/data/mytown.shp' *LABELITEM road_name* METADATA 'wms_title' 'mytown' 'gml_include_items' 'all' END DUMP TRUE STATUS DEFAULT TRANSPARENCY 80 PROJECTION 'proj=longlat' 'ellps=WGS84' 'datum=WGS84' 'no_defs' '' END CLASS STYLE COLOR 102 0 0 SIZE 2 SYMBOL line_solid END STYLE COLOR 204 51 51 SIZE 1 SYMBOL line_solid END LABEL TYPE truetype FONT PerspectiveBlack SIZE 11 END END END Best regards, Christy -- Christy Nieman GIS Technician DM Solutions Group, Inc.

Thanks. Hi, Looks like there is no LABELITEM set on layer descriptions.

Ah, never mind, Thomas' answer is better. But for future reference, symbol type simple provides the LINECAP and LINEJOIN options for line styling that cartoline used to provide.

Re: [mapserver-users] installing 2 ms4w versions on same server?
I could be mistaken, but I believe that you can have as many ms4w's that you want so long as there is only one on a drive. I.E. they each need to be installed to the root of the drive (one on C:\, one on D:\, etc.). I know that this structure definitely works; I'm not sure if there are other ways to have more than one ms4w on a machine. -- Christy Nieman GIS Technician DM Solutions Group, Inc.

Re: [mapserver-users] why 5.0.3 on latest linux distro's
There is the FGS installer package (http://maptools.org/fgs/) for Linux. But it's still using version 5.0.2, as far as I know. Christy Willy-Bas Loos wrote: exactly. i built my own 5.2.0 too. But i'm not a system admin really and it's a bit of a hassle. If i were planning to compile my software myself i would use a different distro (Gentoo?). I've been posting some stuff on the ubuntu forums too, but i don't get too much response there. I guess that 5.2.0 doesn't get into lenny (and so ubuntu 8.10) because it hasn't been tested for long enough. It is still in the experimental repository (thanks nico mandery for pointing this out to me), so not even in unstable yet. And that will probably mean that we won't see any higher than 5.0.x in lenny - the stable debian versions for the next ±4 years. I know it's a choice for stability and security -- all about priorities, so nothing to make a fuss about -- but it's unconfortable nonetheless. So lets try a different angle: if OSGeo are providing a package manager for windows (osgeo4w), why not provide a repository for Debian / Ubuntu and another one for RedHat / Fedora ? Easy for me to say of course, but doesn't it seem unfair that Windows should be favoured above open source OS's ? (then, maybe i got it all wrong, so please correct me) cheers, WBL In my experiences with Fedora, they tend to keep the same version of MapServer that the OS version was released with (so Fedora 9 has 5.0.2, or something like that, by default). As I want to use the latest version, I build it for myself. I bet that distributions tend to stay with what they had when first released for map compatibility reasons.

Re: [mapserver-users] Thickness of outline/border of polygons
Hello, I'm not exactly sure what you mean about the border being broken, but if you want the polygon border thickness to be larger than one pixel, I believe the only way is to create a line layer to put on top of the polygon. For example: #Polygon layer on the bottom LAYER NAME States STATUS DEFAULT TYPE POLYGON SIZEUNITS PIXELS DATA states CLASS NAME States STYLE COLOR 242 236 230 END END END #Line layer on the top LAYER NAME State_Borders STATUS DEFAULT TYPE LINE SIZEUNITS PIXELS DATA states CLASS NAME State Borders STYLE COLOR 100 100 100 WIDTH 4 END END END Christy Subha Ramakrishnan wrote: Hi All, I had asked about how to mention thickness of the border as the border was broken when i rendered the image.
