SV: [MAPSERVER-USERS] image in an output
If you look at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/copyright-layer You should be able to use the SYMBOL keywork of the CLASS definition to insert your compass. One problem though, if your images are not of a known size you can't relablily place labels or symbols except in the upper left corner of the image. /james -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] På vegne af Kristian Thy Sendt: 23. marts 2008 23:21 Til: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Emne: Re: [MAPSERVER-USERS] image in an output On Sat, Mar 22, nickthegreek- wrote: > fist in my output i try to insert in mapfile a image so as to display > a compass.. what i do is to try to put in mapfile a layer which shows > only this image, the compass... i haven't tried that up now..any help > would be great (what exactly to write in the layer)!!! http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq/copyright-layer http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/feature However, you can't use a picture for that as far as I know ... but if you could make/find a font with a compass glyph, you should be able to insert that. > and secondly ..i wanna a big help in how to insert my shapefiles in a > database.. the postgis does that? what i should know is if i should > put shp shx and dbf files in tables in postgis??

Re: [MAPSERVER-USERS] PHP MapScript AGG
Bryn Roberts-2 wrote: Everything works fine but the following two lines seem not to trigger AGG rendering (I have never tried setting output format options from within MapScript before and was unable to find any examples). . $map->outputformat->setOption("name", "AGG"); $map->outputformat->setOption("imagemode", MS_IMAGEMODE_RGB); $map->outputformat->setOption("driver", "AGG/PNG"); . Can somebody set me straight and point out where I am going wrong? The setOption() method is for FORMATOPTIONs only. Name, imagemode and driver are properties of the OutputFormatObj class and are set using the set() method: $map->outputformat->set("name", "AGG"); $map->outputformat->set("imagemode", MS_IMAGEMODE_RGB); $map->outputformat->set("driver", "AGG/PNG"); BTW, I believe a predefined "AGGPNG24" output format is available by default, so you could simply select it using: $map->selectOutputFormat("AGGPNG24"); Daniel -- Daniel Morissette http://www.mapgears.com/ ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
RE: [mapserver-users] Pan Mapserver C# asp.net
Venkat, There are a couple samples out there. Paulo Corti has one, there is another here: http://www.coordinatesolutions.com/Samples.aspx. This one is in VB.NET but as the code is pretty concise, a port to C# would be a simple matter. Hope that helps!

[mapserver-users] OT - Seeking a Good (Mapping-Related) JavaScript Forum
I've been intrigued by tools like dBox and in general using JavaScript for driving web-based mapping applications, but I need to learn more about the JavaScript side of things. Can anyone here recommend a good discussion group for JavaScript so I can ask some dumb questions? Even better if you know of a *mapping* oriented JavaScript forum, because I've got some SVG questions too. Searching Google came up with a number of JavaScript-L's, but if there's one that stands out I'd appreciate somebody pointing it out to me.

[mapserver-users] PHP/Mapscript: MapObj: Create obj from string instead of filename?
Hi, I've created a mapfile as a PHP/Smarty template file with a bunch of template variables in it in order to manage my mapfiles more efficiently. I'd like to create my PHP mapObj from the string the template returns, rather than write the template result to a file and then have the mapObj read in that file to create itself. I'm checking the documentation, and it appears that a mapObj can be created from a file. Can someone confirm if this is true? If so (or not), does anyone know of an easier workaround than write-to-file/read-in-file to do this? I ask, because doing it this way defeats some of the template caching speed enhancements that Smarty gives me (this workaround adds a write-to/read-from disk to the chain of events). By the way, if you do use PHP/Mapscript with a mapfile that can be templated, Smarty is a pretty good solution, imho (modulo this problem).

Re: [mapserver-users] OT - Seeking a Good (Mapping-Related) JavaScript Forum
Hello Bill, I have had some good success on the rails spinoff list; mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] They constantly discuss javascript and AJAX topics and are the only mailinglist as far as I know where rubber-banding is also discussed. Some of the OpenLayers developers are also on the list.

[mapserver-users] tile server
Hello list, a little while ago I read somewhere that it is possible to connect a tileserver via a virtual layer to mapserver. The trick was to store an xml file and create a layer definition in the mapfile that pointed to the tile server with information about the tilesize, zoomlevels and so on. I can't seem to find it anymore... Can anyone point me to a succesfull tileserver connection sample? I don't mean running mapserver as tileserver, but attaching a layer from a tileserver.
