[mapserver-users] problem displaying mask

2012-12-18 Thread Ethan Alpert
I'm trying to display a water mask as all black. Along the edge of the
mask a set of lighter colored pixels appears when zoomed out. It appears
this is from resampling the data. I have OFFSITE set and I have NO_DATA
set in the GeoTIff yet something is ignoring these during render.

 

Any suggestions? I've attached an image. Black is water white (which is
set to transparent) is land. I assure you the lighter pixels are not
beach/coastline. I'm using a 5.6.7.

Re: [mapserver-users] Hindi and Thai text rendering (thomas bonfort)

2012-12-18 Thread Ian Walberg
Some more info, this issue has the same symptoms as we have. The initial
description and the correct.png and wrong.png show the same rendering
issue we are seeing.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4153

We are still investigating this but at the moment do not even know what
those parts of these characters are called so it's tricky to find
information.

Can anyone on the list read these characters?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Thomas,

I was able to properly render the Hindi characters from the screenshot
you had previously provided (Wazirabad), however we are still unable to
render the Hindi text that I had provided earlier (Mexico City).

Is there any way you could provide an image showing a Hindi translation
for Mexico City from your map?  This way I can match characters that I
know are not rendering properly on my side.

Thank You again for your help,


Peter Mallen

Thomas,

 

We are currently using fibidi 0.19.2 and can try the later versions.

 

I have just had a look at 0.19.4 and 0.19.5 and I am not sure how to
build them, there does not appear to be build instructions in them or a
configure script.

 

Have you (or anyone else on the list) built these for Linux?

 

Thanks

 

Ian

Peter,

We don't do any shaping directly inside mapserver, but rely on the
fribidi library to do that for us. Your mapfile definitions are correct
to activate this (i.e. it includes an LABEL.ENCODING parameter).

I'll leave it up to you to confirm that the image sample I sent you is
correct or not. If so, check that you have configured your mapserver
with fribidi enabled and uptodate (the supplied image was rendered with
0.19.2 . some stable distros use a very outdated fribidi version, so you
might need to upgrade manually) . If not, you can try with a bleeding
edge fribidi (0.19.5 was released a few days ago), and/or report the
issue or find help from the fribidi project directly.

 

please report back with your findings.

 

regards,

thomas

Hi Thomas,

Here is a link to a png Image I have created of using the simple Map
File I provided in the previous postings, this is exactly how the Hindi
text is rendering in Map Server:

It is appearing incorrectly and should appear as shown in this link to
Google Translate:

I am not sure if the Hindi you have provided is displaying correctly,
although it appears to be similar to what I looked up in Google
Translate.


Thank You for your help,

Re: [mapserver-users] JPEG and OVERSAMPLE_RATIO

2012-12-18 Thread Cédric MOULLET
Hi,

Thanks to Thomas, the problem has been solved by removing an OFFSITE
parameter configuring the layer (http://mapserver.org/en/mapfile/layer.html).

With the following layer configuration:
PROCESSING RESAMPLE=AVERAGE
PROCESSING OVERSAMPLE_RATIO=16
the visual quality of the produced image is very good (for the PNG and JPEG
format).

Best regards,
Cédric
