[mapserver-users] GPS to GIS

2008-08-07 Thread Peter Falk

Hi David,

Yes I know i was a bit vague. What I need is a simple function, that can turn a 
point in GPS - a lattitude and a logitude value - into a point in GIS.

I.e. I got these coordinate:
GPS: N: 54.9809  E: 8.86707

that applies to

GIS: X: 491055.41Y: 6092507.928

What I need is the correlation between the two.

Regards
Peter

Re: [mapserver-users] How do i define my SLD inside the mapfile?

2008-08-07 Thread bartvde
No you can't use an SLD directly in a WMS server MAP file.

What I normally do is apply the SLD to the MAP file using a simple PHP
script:

#!/bin/sh
sudo -u apache php -f $0 $*; exit $?

?php

if ($argc != 4) {
  echo Usage: applysldurl.php input MAP file SLD url output MAP
file\n;
  echo \n;
  echo Applies the SLD url to the layers in the MAP file\n;
  echo \n;
  exit(1);
}

$oMap = ms_newMapObj($argv[1]);
$oMap-applySLDURL($argv[2]);
$oMap-save($argv[3]);

echo Output saved to $argv[3]\n;

?

Best regards,
Bart

 Hi mapserver list,
 i need to style my map project with SLD. But because using a special
 client which doesn't support a whole request with
 SLD=http://placeofmysld/. i have to put the reference to the SLD
 inside my mapfile. I was researching a way, but the only thing i found
 was a method to do it in the METADATA element when binding a remote wms.
 But thats no way - to create a separate wms and bind it in another one
 because that slows down the map creation drastic. Is there another way
 to define my SLD inside the map file?
 Thanks
 Albrecht

Re: [mapserver-users] GPS to GIS

2008-08-07 Thread Benoît Andrieu

Hi Peter,

What do you mean with 'GIS' coordinates ?

For me, GIS means Geographic Information System and is a very common term.
Looking at your 'GIS' coordinates I would say that your GIS coordinate 
system is a UTM 32 coordinate system.


And in your case, you could use cs2cs 
(http://proj.maptools.org/man_cs2cs.html) in order to make the translation.


cs2cs.exe +proj=latlong +datum=WGS84 +to +proj=utm +zone=32 +datum=WGS84 -r
input : 54.9808N 8.86707E
output : 491492.61   6092662.95 0.00

The results are not exactly accurate with yours but they are close enough to 
me (by what ? 600 meters ? ^^).


I hope it will help.

Regards,
Benoît Andrieu

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your input. It's been a great help. The fact that I'm now 
aware of the translation - from WGS84 to UTM Zone 32 - has narrowed the 
problem down.

[mapserver-users] Reg: QueryMap(Zoom To Shape) with Mapserver PostgreSql/PostGIS

2008-08-07 Thread Venkat Rao Tammineni
Dear All,

 

I am getting error with query map.But it is working fine for Shape
files.Only  I am getting error with Postgresql/PostGIS.I do not know where
I am doing wrong.

 

Here is my Map File Code :- 

   Name Continents

   CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS

   CONNECTION host=192.168.1.158 dbname=GIS password=administrator
user=postgres port=5432

   DATA the_geom from rgp_gis_continent

 

And I have also used like 

 DATA the_geom from rgp_gis_continent using unique gid and SRID=-1

 

But this also getting the same error.I am  using Mapserver 5.0  and
Postgresql8.1.

Please let me know where  I am doing wrong.

 

 

 

Below is my error 

 

 

prepare_database(): Query error. Error executing POSTGIS DECLARE (the actual
query) statement: 'DECLARE mycursor BINARY CURSOR FOR SELECT
continent::text,asbinary(force_collection(force_2d(the_geom)),'NDR'),gid::
text from rgp_gis_continent WHERE (Africa) and (the_geom  setSRID(
'BOX3D(-180 -112.415519399249,180
112.415519399249)'::BOX3D,find_srid('','rgp_gis_continent','the_geom') ))' 

 

Postgresql reports the error as 'ERROR:  column africa does not exist

'

 

More Help:

 

Error with POSTGIS data variable. You specified 'check your .map file'.

Standard ways of specifiying are : 

(1) 'geometry_column from geometry_table' 

(2) 'geometry_column from (sub query) as foo using unique column name using
SRID=srid#' 

 

Make sure you put in the 'using unique  column name' and 'using SRID=#'
clauses in.

 

For more help, please see http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/ 

 

Mappostgis.c - version of Jan 23/2004.

 

 

 

I am waiting for your great response.

 

 Thanks and Regards

Venkat.

Thanks stephen for your kind help.
I'm thinking on a solution of using mapscript. i don't know whether it 
is true or not.
using mapscript, getting the label positions from it and then compling 
labels in programming language,finally giving the result as an image to 
mapscript to show iton top of other layers. because i haven't use 
mapsript up to know, i'm not sure about it. Do you think it works?




Why not just let MapServer handle everything? If the issue is simply 
that the MS4W package doesn't have fribidi2 included in it yet, then 
please ask for it on the MS4W mailing list and that option should be 
added in the next MS4W release.

Hi list.
I have a problem running ogrinfo.exe.

When i press enter i get the following message:

This application has failed to start because gdal15.dll was not 
found.Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Well,i re-installed ms4w but the problem remains.
Does anyone know where the error might be?

Open up a dos prompt and first run ms4w\setenv.bat, after that you can 
use ogrinfo.
