Hi Daniel, I'm not sure if mapserver can do this for you; how I did it was to create two different shapes, and use the minscaledenom and maxscaledenom to display one of the two in different scale levels. Cheers, Tom On Sun 28/11/10 18:00 , mapserver-users-requ...@lists.osgeo.org sent: Send map

Hi, If you data are in a database it should be possible to take them out through simplify function. For PostGIS see http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ST_Simplify.html You should define the layer DATA in the mapfile with simplifying factor as a variable and then make OpenLayers to send the val

Florencia, As far as I know, Mapserver only works with vectorial data on PostGIS. So having a kind of BLOB (bytea) column doesn't work. I guess you will have to had those TIF files as a file to be able to load it using a RASTER layer. Cheers from México IC Carlos Ruiz From: florencia.bujan

Hi Florencia, You just can show a layer per LAYER section at a time. However, you can use the GROUP label within each LAYER section of each raster you want to show, to turn on/off all those layers. Solo puedes mostrar una capa por cada sección LAYER a la vez. Sin embargo, puedes hacer uso de

If I remember correctly, you can use a PostGIS data set as a tileindex. Perhaps it would be possible to have a PostGIS polygon layer that serves as the tileindex with a where clause that only includes the footprint polygons for the rasters that a particular user should be able to see. Has anyo

Florencia, Since you are using this strategy for vector layers, I think that it could work for rasters. You would use gdaltindex or something else to create a polygon data set that represented the 'footprints' of your raster files. http://mapserver.org/optimization/tileindex.html One of t
