Hi, Hi,
The SLD output of QGIS can be good but I am not so sure how good Mapserver is with importing SLD. That could be tested through WMS GetMap and &SLD= or with &SLD_BODY= but there is no tool for converting SLD into layer styles as text which could be saved and used in static mapfiles, or is there? -Jukka Rahkonen- -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- Lähettäjä: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Puolesta [email protected] Lähetetty: 19. maaliskuuta 2015 9:38 Vastaanottaja: [email protected]; [email protected] Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] Is there a way to convert a QGIS layout into a ".map" file? I am all for QGIS-MapServer integration! As an aside, getting QGIS styling per se into MapServer can of course also be done through SLD: QGIS SLD export is pretty good -- although of course will only give you layer styles, not a full map setup. -- Barend Köbben On 19-03-15 00:10, "Jeff McKenna" <[email protected]> wrote: >I wonder the same, especially seeing that plugin code living on GitHub. > Think of how QGIS has become the frontend for GRASS, it >could(should!) be the frontend for MapServer. > >There is definitely huge momentum in the QGIS community (I've even been >asked to attend their first QGIS conference, and followup dev meeting, >in May).
