Hi Etienne, First you have to select your favorite language for mapscript, there are several choices, php, pyton, perl, c#, ....
First check mapserver.gis.emn.edu/docs page, there are reference, howto and faq topics. I started with http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/phpmapscript-byexample GMap is a sample application written in php. You cab customize it for your aims. http://www.maptools.org/dl/gmap-ms46.zip Chameleon is high level approache, few programming neccessary http://chameleon.maptools.org I have used phpmapscript so far. I hope this helps you Zoltan On Sat, 11 Mar 2006, Etienne Sévin wrote: > That's it Zoltan, thanks for your answer > > I wanna be able to use the two ways, but the second one is really the > way I wanna go first. > So it will be MapScript. > > Is there any good document to start with ? > Do I have to redefine boundaries for every map or is there already > something existing ? > > best regards, > > Etienne > > Siki Zoltan a écrit : > > >Hi Etienne, > > > >If you would like to display predefined thematic maps then mapserver CGI > >is ready to do it.
