What is WBMP? BMP format export file, I don't knwo what W means (World ?) Here is a definition from Wikipedia, but I don't know if it is correct here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Application_Protocol_Bitmap_Format.
"WBMP images are monochrome (black & white) so that the image size is kept to a minimum. A black pixel is denoted by 0 and a white pixel is denoted by 1." > OUTPUT=SWF -> Does anybody know what this means? What is SWF? SWF is the Flash format extension. > SUPPORTS=THREADS -> What are threads? > SUPPORTS=GEOS -> Geos is used by PostGIS, but for what does Mapserver need > that? GEOS is used for some spatial treatment. I think MS use it for EXPRESSION parameter or some other else. > Why are INPUT=SHAPEFILE and INPUT=JPEG are listed even if INPUT=OGR and > INPUT=GDAL are written? ? OGR/GDAL already mean that JPEG andShapes are > implemented??? Isn`t that a "double-listing"? Thank you very much, Jakob SHAPEFILE are managed directly by MS, I don't know for JPEG. So it is not a "double-listing", as you could not have GDAL or OGR input but you always got the INPUT=shapefile item. Regards, Y. -- Yves Jacolin --- http://softlibre.gloobe.org
