Jon, The rr data are in NH state plane coordinates--are the other data you are using in the same projection? ------------------------------------------ Thanks Peter, I had to specify the raster layer as: LAYER NAME "usgs" TYPE RASTER STATUS on DATA o43071a4.tif PROJECTION "init=epsg:26719" END END So, I think the answer to your question is, no they're not in the same projection. What do I need to do to get mapserver to translate between the two? Seems to me that mapserver should be able to read the information out of the files (like ogrinfo and gdalinfo do) and do the "right thing". I admit this might be a total misunderstanding on my part... still learning about mapserver's capabilities. _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
