Hi list, A couple of MapServer related updates that may be of interest. There is a new 0.8.x release of mappyfile - a Python library to parse, validate, and format Mapfiles: https://pypi.org/project/mappyfile/ Release notes are available at https://mappyfile.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#releases The main new feature is adding Mapfile class names to their associated END blocks, e.g.
LAYER NAME "Polygon" TYPE POLYGON FEATURE POINTS 30 10 40 40 20 40 10 20 30 10 END # POINTS END # FEATURE END # LAYER You can see this in action in the online demo at http://mappyfile.geographika.net/ by going to Settings > Add Closing Block Comments There is also a new mappyfile plugin available - https://github.com/geographika/mappyfile-colors This allows you to add colour names as comments to your Mapfile, and convert and harmonise colour formats (RGB or HEX), e.g. COLOR 75 0 130 Can be converted to: COLOR "#4B0082" # indigo Again this can be seen in the online demo at http://mappyfile.geographika.net/ - go to Settings > mappyfile-colors Plugin Settings it is also available on PyPI at https://pypi.org/project/mappyfile-colors/ and can be installed using pip.
