[mapserver-users] Label opacity
Hello all, While OPACITY [1-100] works fine for drawing features and symbols (ie. anything described in a STYLE section within the layer), it does not seem to affect labels. OPACITY does not appear to be a valid keyword in a LABEL section, so is there a way of achieving less than 100% opaque labels? Thanks, David ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Importing a Google/Yahoo maps raster layer
Hello everybody, I'm not sure if it's been disscussed on the list already or not, but I wanted to ask if it's possible to integrate mapserver (and starting with which version?) with Google/Yahoo maps. I would like to display the raster (satellite) images from google/yahoo as a layer in the map. The thing is - I don't want to store the actual raster data on my server - but to make requests to google/yahoo on the fly.

RE: [mapserver-users] Importing a Google/Yahoo maps raster layer
Take a look at OpenLayers. http://www.openlayers.org Here is an example of an OpenLayers application that uses Google as the base layer. http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/sundials-spherical-mercator.html (When the app first loads, it is using OpenStreetMap data as the base layer. Click on the '+' icon on the right side of the map to expand the layer switcher and you can then switch to a Google layer.) You can also use Microsoft Virtual Earth data http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/ And using MapServer, you can publish your data as a WMS and pull it in to the same OpenLayers app. (You can also connect to MapServer with a native MapServer CGI call, but the developers are encouraging the use of a standard WMS call.)

Hello Christopher, Your example has the elements that I need :) Is this basic functionality included in openlayers by default, or is it an addon?

Re: [mapserver-users] Label opacity
Not at the moment, no. The label cache rendering takes place independently of layer drawing and layer opacity isn't taken into account when labels are rendered. Probably should be... I start a ticket. Labels would need their own OPACITY keyword in this case or would have to respect LAYER OPACITY. Labels drawn independently of the cache, e.g. LABELPRECACHE ON are affected by LAYER OPACITY but are not subject to collision avoidance.

Both, but WMS is highly recommended, because using MapServer as CGI is prone to hide errors due to misconfiguration. (Setting up WMS requires only adding: metadata web wms_srs "EPSG:4326" end end to your mapfile to work minimally; everything else is optional.) The recovery map example has a significant amount of code, but it is using the trunk version of OpenLayers with no additional features. The UI, some of the popups, the layer addition/removal are all additional pieces added to that UI, but there are other toolkits (Like GeoExt) that provide these in open source software as well.

[mapserver-users] Using mapserver to print a large "plotter" sized image
Hello all, I am trying to figure out a way I can use Mapserver to print out a large image, one that will look good coming off a plotter (probably around 300 dpi). There is an open ticket (http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-55.html) for something somewhat related but it offers some good advice on what I am trying to do, however the maximum size that Mapserver allows you to request is 2048 x 2048, and my current viewport is 757 which scales like: 757 (old size) * 300 (new resolution that is good for 300 dpi according to ticket) / 72 (old resolution) = 3154.1667 which is way to big to request from Mapserver.

Re: [mapserver-users] Using mapserver to print a large "plotter" sized image

Re: [mapserver-users] Using mapserver to print a large "plotter" sizedimage
Robert, That's not so big. You can compile MapServer with larger output numbers, I think there is even an optional output method that has been recently added (or is going to be added) to help with this type of thing. The limits are in place for good reason BTW, so be careful with what you set up. We set our up for larger than stock image output as well. But we still have an upper limit in place. See here. http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/SHP/METC/TLG/CENTERLINES_TLG/tlg_googlish1_public.map?mapext=531979.4411764706%20126619.81457800511%20611328.5588235294%20183199.1854219949&mapsize=3000%203000&mode=map&MOOSETIME=1243877325243 ( http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/datasets/SHP/METC/TLG/CENTERLINES_TLG/tlg_googlish1_public.map?mapext=531979.4411764706%20126619.81457800511%20611328.5588235294%20183199.1854219949&mapsize=3000%203000&mode=map&MOOSETIME=1243877325243 ) You can see that it takes a little while for the response to come back with this larger image size (3000x3000), but the images does eventually com back. You can bog your server down if you have too many folks grabbing too big of images too often. I've been contemplating a whole separate server just for this type of printing operation on this end for example. We still run into problems with folks using multiple monitor spanning Browser windows that request really large images, but this has only sporadically been a problem so far. But I can tell that the newer users are starting to expect some of these capabilities as well as newer high rez screens are installed. bobb >>> Robert Hicks wrote: Hello all, I am trying to figure out a way I can use Mapserver to print out a large image, one that will look good coming off a plotter (probably around 300 dpi).

Re: [mapserver-users] Using mapserver to print a large "plotter" sizedimage
Hi, There is nowadays MAXSIZE that is used at MAP level. Set it to 5000 and try again. MAXSIZE [integer] Sets the maximum size of the map image. This will override the default value. For example, setting this to 2048 means that you can have up to 2048 pixels in both dimensions (i.e. max of 2048x2048). -Jukka Rahkonen- -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org puolesta: Robert Hicks Lähetetty: ma 1.6.2009 19:47 Vastaanottaja: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org; mapserver-us...@lists.umn.edu Aihe: [mapserver-users] Using mapserver to print a large "plotter" sizedimage Hello all, I am trying to figure out a way I can use Mapserver to print out a large image, one that will look good coming off a plotter (probably around 300 dpi). There is an open ticket (http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-55.html) for something somewhat related but it offers some good advice on what I am trying to do, however the maximum size that Mapserver allows you to request is 2048 x 2048, and my current viewport is 757 which scales like: 757 (old size) * 300 (new resolution that is good for 300 dpi according to ticket) / 72 (old resolution) = 3154.1667 which is way to big to request from Mapserver. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks! ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Re: [mapserver-users] Finding the centroid given the feature
MapServer templates can produce a center point for a geometry but it's not a true centroid but those aren't guaranteed to be "in" the polygon. MapScript could be used as well I suppose. In either case you'd send a lookup request to the CGI or MapScript, do an attribute query and return whatever you'd need.

[mapserver-users] sample WMS raster map file and sample data
Hi, I am trying to set up a WMS mapserver, but I can't find a sample image and map file to test with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
RE: [mapserver-users] sample WMS raster map file and sample data
Check out the MapServer OGC Web Services Workshop at http://ms-ogc-workshop.maptools.org/). There are mapfile examples for WMS with vector and raster data. ..Tom -Original Message- From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org on behalf of Chris Weed Sent: Mon 01-Jun-09 17:44 To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [mapserver-users] sample WMS raster map file and sample data Hi, I am trying to set up a WMS mapserver, but I can't find a sample image and map file to test with.

Re: [mapserver-users] Importing a Google/Yahoo maps raster layer
Thank you for the info - I will give it a try on a testbed installation :) Christopher Schmidt wrote: On Mon, Jun 01, 2009 at 05:20:25PM +0300, Adrian Popa wrote: Hello Christopher, Your example has the elements that I need :) Is this basic functionality included in openlayers by default, or is it an addon? Also - will openlayers work with mapserver by default - or through WMS (I don't have experience with WMS)? Both, but WMS is highly recommended, because using MapServer as CGI is prone to hide errors due to misconfiguration. (Setting up WMS requires only adding: metadata web wms_srs "EPSG:4326" end end to your mapfile to work minimally; everything else is optional.) The recovery map example has a significant amount of code, but it is using the trunk version of OpenLayers with no additional features. The UI, some of the popups, the layer addition/removal are all additional pieces added to that UI, but there are other toolkits (Like GeoExt) that provide these in open source software as well.
