Hi. I have a pointlayer with about 10000 points (will probably become 25000 later), and I want to find the nearest point when I click in the map.
To solve this, I've loaded the layer into qgis, and using the mmqgis plugin, I created a voronoi diagram layer. I'm now serving this layer with mapserver, and a click on the map will trigger a GetFeatureInfo request from this layer, which returns the metadata from the corresponding point. Everything works fine, but I get this nagging feeling that I've overcomplicated things, so I'm wondering: 1. Can mapserver find the nearest point directly? If so, how do I set it up? 2. Is this faster than finding the polygon the click is inside? -- Trond Michelsen _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
