Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Edu] Web cartography, SLD

Right! seems the link to my old sample data is missing. I will try to 
find them back and tell you.


Yep, would be interesting to test with the latest GeoServer.

Especially I remember that I had some difficulties to use the MarkIndex 
capability of SE with deegree3 (see discussion 
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/SE-Styling-MarkIndex-glyph-index-td5022210.html). 
No idea how GeoServer does implement what the SE spec describes about 
this MarkIndex (at the time of writing the tutorial, I finally decided 
to remove the Markindex example from it).


Best regards,
Olivier.

GeoServer also provides incomplete support for SE 1.1, and full 
support for the transformation functions, but they are so seldomly 
used in combination

that I cannot be sure they would be handled properly.

I was hoping to find an example ready to customize in the tutorial 
you're linking, but could not see it (I could also not find a full
style to just cut/paste, is it by any chance available along with the 
sample data? I'd be curious to try that map out on a recent GeoServer).


The main missing point in GeoServer SE support is raster symbolizer, 
the vector symbolization should mostly work.
Hopefully it's going to get better with the interest the user 
community is showing for style export between
QGIS and GeoServer (and for once, that will make for a use case meant 
for SE/SLD, that is, machine generation of the

styles as opposed to manual editing).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Edu] Web cartography, SLD

2016-12-09 Thread Olivier Ertz 

Regie,
may be this tutorial on SLD/SE1.1 with deegree3 is useful (it has been 
built at the time of FOSSGIS 2013 in Switzerland):

http://mediamaps.ch/doku.php?id=ogo:sld_se_part1

Like GeoServer, deegree3 is a WMS/SLD OGC reference implementation, but 
in 2013, it was also compliant with Symbology Encoding 1.1 (SE) which is 
part of the replacement of the deprecated SLD 1.0. Moreover SE1.1 does 
offer few new capabilities, especially transformation functions 
(interpolate, recode, categorize).


Of course, GeoServer does offer interesting additional "vendor 
capabilities", but if you want portrayal interoperability, then you 
shall not use them. Nonetheless, these are often relevant capabilities 
which are currently taken into account in the current on-going redesign 
process at OGC, although it is quite a slow process, unfortunately.


If you are interested in this redesign, there is an article "/Redesign 
of OGC Symbology Encoding standard for sharing cartography/" which tries 
to summarize some of the major ideas to build a sustainable next 
generation SE standard (https://peerj.com/preprints/2415). Feel free to 
comment.


Hope this can help you.

Best regards,
Olivier.

but its not about SLD. For SLD it may be best to check the GeoServer 
Documentation directly
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/styling/sld/cookbook/

Although it also turns out that only half of the stuff is documented if I

[OSGeo-Discuss] PAL community platform

2009-10-20 Thread Olivier ERTZ 

Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the start of PAL community platform and we 
invite you to visit http://pal.heig-vd.ch.


The major focus is to federate and bring together forces to maintain, 
offer support and follow innovative new developments in the field of 
labeling through PAL opensource library. Currently, a stable release of 
PAL automated label placement library is available, and the source code 
can be downloaded from the website. Also a start of documentation is 
ready to help new integrations and developements on the core library. A 
Trac instance and mailing-list was setup to manage the project 
(http://geosysin.iict.ch/pal-trac).


Notice there are currently two integrations of PAL : for gvSIG and for 
QuantumGIS. Also, an integration for MapWindow is in progress.


If you plan a new integration or enhancements on the core library, feel 
free to join the mailing-list so as to post your needs, comments and 
ideas (http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/pal-developer).
