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.
Feedback and thoughts welcome,
Seth
