You can specify a type in the gml metadata and that will impact how the
conversion is done in the mvt encoding. Something like:
gml_mapcolor7_type integer
Otherwise things are treated as strings...

Great, Thanks Steve
I added "gml_include_items" "mapcolor7"
to the Metadata block and got it working.
One quirk seems to be that when I am trying to the values as integer (from the
mapcolor7 column) specifying the style as in 1.) below did not work.
However it I treat them as characters instead, quoted them and used "type":
"categorical" in the json file for the style as in 2.) below it is working.
Cheers
Karsten

I believe the default WxS behavior is to expose no attributes. You need to be
explicit and I don’t see the gml_include_items metadata property in the mapfile
for the layer allcountries. You’d need something like:
“gml_include_items” “mapcolor7”
Added to the allcountries layer. The mvt-demo does this for most layers…

Dear All,
I was working on the configuration of MapServer generated MVT tiles for a demo
country world map and had success with MS v 7.2 outputting tiles in MVT format
( all thanks to
https://github.com/sdlime/mvt-demo<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fsdlime%2Fmvt-demo&data=02%7C01%7Csteve.lime%40state.mn.us%7C8cad89d7aa6f4f29f40e08d68bad2b0d%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C636849973214573577&sdata=5L4SwL6sPn9%2BFDEQbvM1%2BKzCQ6KtXdc6OACIm4afEDc%3D&reserved=0>
).
I am trying to work on the client side style for my demo map (using
mapbox-gl.js) and defined them in a similar way as JSON as in Steve's mvt-demo
above. The whole thing is later intended to be used in a benchmark for
MapServer MVT rendering speed versus T-Rex ( see
http://blog.sourcepole.ch/2018/09/06/the-tale-of-a-vector-tile-benchmark/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.sourcepole.ch%2F2018%2F09%2F06%2Fthe-tale-of-a-vector-tile-benchmark%2F&data=02%7C01%7Csteve.lime%40state.mn.us%7C8cad89d7aa6f4f29f40e08d68bad2b0d%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C636849973214583591&sdata=x0OMGP7hH2SvVQysWctAAAlzU5kML4sxg1m9ZHj3yNM%3D&reserved=0>
) .
For now I am struggling with specifying the correct style syntax for the client
side and it seem that I missing something as I was not yet able to successfully
use attribute properties to render Countries as different colors based on an
attribute field of my PostGIS source.
Below is the configuration of my 'allcountries' layer. The mapcolor7 filed is
an integer field (in the input PostGIS source) but my set-up fails to output
multiple colors , instead I am getting all default black for the country fill
color. A second layer where I specified only Italy as one Country
'country-italy' to show up renders fine - see

My complete style JSON is at
https://github.com/karstenv/mvt-benchmark/blob/master/MapServer/ms_ne_simple.json<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fkarstenv%2Fmvt-benchmark%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2FMapServer%2Fms_ne_simple.json&data=02%7C01%7Csteve.lime%40state.mn.us%7C8cad89d7aa6f4f29f40e08d68bad2b0d%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C636849973214593596&sdata=rW0SwiqaGZDf1P%2FhVw4677fS69GIdjaQnk5G2cKLWow%3D&reserved=0>
and the corresponding map file is here
https://github.com/karstenv/mvt-benchmark/blob/master/MapServer/ne.map<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fkarstenv%2Fmvt-benchmark%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2FMapServer%2Fne.map&data=02%7C01%7Csteve.lime%40state.mn.us%7C8cad89d7aa6f4f29f40e08d68bad2b0d%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C636849973214603601&sdata=N4PGCLEg6xD8VMz6bA%2BnaQPFDyITriOP5V40S4AGt%2FA%3D&reserved=0>
Would anyone know what I need to change in order to render the countries with
different colors according to the 'mapcolor7' attribute ?
To me it seems that somehow the attribute is not available to the renderer even
though in the MapServer map file I am selecting all fields in the sub-query ...
Thanks
Karsten
