RE: [MAPSERVER-USERS] Displaying population density with Mapserver
Faldor, When you have point coordinates stored in a text file, there really is no way to encode/attach the projection definition. Even if you could, it doesn't sound like you really know what spatial reference system (SRS) or projection that it is in. The key to projecting to another SRS or translating ground units to another measure (from degrees to meters) is knowing what the current SRS of the data is. Since your data is worldwide and it is unprojected (lat/lon), a good first guess would be to assume that it is unprojected with using the WGS84. Try defining your layer projection by including this block in your layer definition. PROJECTION init=epsg:4326 END David. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pierre-Benoit Besse Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 4:11 AM To: Fawcett, David Cc: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [MAPSERVER-USERS] Displaying population density with Mapserver Well, I confess, I'm new to GIS applications and I do not know a lot about projections.

Best regards, Faldor 2008/5/27 Fawcett, David [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Have you defined an output projection for your map and input projections for each of your layers?

Regards 2008/5/27 Fawcett, David [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Before you create lots of different layers to simulate symbol scaling, you may want to try something else. It has been a long time since I have played with scaled symbols, but give it a try. You should be able to scale the symbols by setting a SYMBOLSCALE in the LAYER object. This is the scale at which you want the symbol to appear at the SIZE stated in the map file. You may want to modify STYLE MAXSIZE if you think that you will want your symbols to be larger than 50 pixels. Another completely different approach that just came to my mind would be to use ground units (e.g. meters) to set the size of your symbol. To do this, set LAYER SIZEUNITS to meters. Calculate the size of a symbol in meters on the ground that will touch adjacent symbols, or give you the desired amount of space between the symbols. That way, the symbols should scale consistently.

[mapserver-users] bgd_i.lib?
Hi All, I'm trying to compile MapServer 5.0.2 on windows XP using MSVC 7.1 and the MapServer buildkit. The buildkit includes the source for GD-2.0.35, which is the latest stable release of GD. I followed the instructions to build GD from the readme, and successfully built GD, but it doesn't build a bgd_i.lib file. There is a bgd_a.lib and a bgd.lib file though. I've tried pointing the MapServer nmake.opt file at both of those files, but it always fails to build due to unresolved external symbols, all related to GD. Where do I get the bgd_i.lib file from?
