Re: [mapserver-users] Min/max pixelsize vs. min/max scaledenom
Hey there, yes, that's me again :-) I'm currently poking around in map rendering software like mapserver and mapnik. I'd like to find out how I can organize my map publishing scheme most efficiently. It seems I'm hitting the same spot with all rendering softwares. I wrote my mapserver question Thomas refers to, to the mapserver-dev list because I thought this would be a more appropriate place than the general user list. So I guess it didn't trigger that much attention ... BTW. I created a google spreadsheet [1] for calculating a scale based on a desired meter / pixel value. Probably very trivial but maybe helpful in some situations ...

Re: [mapserver-users] Min/max pixelsize vs. min/max scaledenom
Hi, Your spreadsheet may be trivial but still was useful. I had used resolution of 72 DPI in my scale-to-pixel-size conversion because I had understood that it is what Mapserver is using when it calculates the WMS scalehint. But now I see that when playing with min/maxscaledenominators the screen pixel size of 0.28 mm is used which makes 91 DPI. Could someone who knows the Mapserver code say the final word and verify that scaledenominator 3.571,4286 is producing 1 metre pixels? -Jukka Rahkonen- Frank Broniewski wrote: Hey there, yes, that's me again :-) I'm currently poking around in map rendering software like mapserver and mapnik.

Chheang Be, You will want IMAGEMODE INT16 which takes a quite distinct code path which supports multiple bands. You may also need to use FORMAT GDAL/GTiff in your OUTPUTFORMAT declaration for this to work properly, I don't exactly recall. The BANDS declaration may also be of use if you want to control the band selection.

Hi everybody,
thanks for all the hints and solutions. After switching to a shell script
wrapper everything works perfectly. I needed to adapt my reg expressions to get
it work by removing the ^ at the beginning and the $ at the end.
Thanks again for the great support. I know why the umm mapserver is one of the
best software projects in the OSGEO environment. Functionality is great and
stable and support through dev and user list is always great.
Best,

Hi Thomas,
this is the wrapper script which is used:
Somewhere in the documentation it says that this should do the same than
using the standard cgi way so i expected it would also handle the variable
substitution in the same way.
import mapscript
req = mapscript.OWSRequest()
req.loadParams()
map = mapscript.mapObj(r'/***/OwsDataStreamingTest/LI_USA-MT.map')
map.OWSDispatch(req)
exit()
So if i switch to:
#!/bin/sh
MAPSERV=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mapserv
MS_MAPFILE=/***/OwsDataSteamingTest/LI_USA-MT.map exec ${MAPSERV}
everything works fine.
But if i try to run this as fcgi to make use of keeping the db connection
and GDAL_CACHEMAX i get an error that map param is not set.
Which mechanismn should be used in context of fcgi to make the map param in
the URL unnecessary?

By the way i tried the leaving away of the single ' ' already but it
just
fails again because the parameter name doesn't get replaced. Thanks for

of your hints.
Just to complete the circumstances. The map file uses the include
mechanism
to get the layer definitions and the layer which needs the substitutions
is
only referenced by a raster layer as an tile index. Don't know if this
have
something to do with it. If i use static values everything is working
