Re: [mapserver-users] MapCache missing a service error
Hi, It's a server IP address. The web site hosted on that server can be accessed well. And adding the service and request parameter to the URL works too. What I'm wondering is that why I can't access http://192.168.56.101/mapcache/demo/ as the document says.

I do not know if that address is also your own computer or some other machine. If it is the same computer where your keyboard is connected then localhost and 127.0.0.1 addresses should work as well.

Re: [mapserver-users] STYLEITEM AUTO or similar for other connection types?
Hi Tamas, Thanks for your reply. I've made the OGR part right, and can generate maps. However, the work I have on hand is not satisfied yet. Basically, the project uses MapInfo+Oracle. So in order to make it work on both MapInfo and MapServer, I have to populate two style columns, MI_STYLE populated by MapInfo automatically, and the OGR_STYLE populated by hand or extra program (or script). I have used ogr2ogr to convert data originally. But ogr2ogr can only populate the OGR_STYLE column. Whilst MapInfo can only populate the MI_STYLE column. I still figuring out a solution to this. On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 4:39 PM, Tamas Szekeres szeker...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Assuming the style definition exists in OGR style format or in MapServer STYLE or CLASS definitions, you can use STYLEITEM attributename which should work with all drivers (not just with OGR) When using the OGR driver (and not using the MapInfo driver), you should use OGR_STYLE as the attribute name to have the feature style set up by OGR automatically. In this case the style attribute should contain OGR style strings.

[mapserver-users] File size of generated PNG
Some background first. I'm currently using MapServer + TileCache, and planning to try out the new MapCache stuff. While using MS+TC, there was a headache bothers me. Although not specific to MS, I'm not sure where to start, so posting here in hope of getting some pointers. The problem is the file size of PNG images genereated by MS. They are relatively much larger than we want. Now we have one lengthy process that runs stuffs like pngcrush after seeded a cache with TC. This is a painfully lengthy proccess, which takes months to finish due to the coverage of map. Just wondering, how to make MS generates minimum size PNG, or how to make TC to slice images with minimum file size? Or is using post-process the only way to achieve it? We are not talking about the absolute minimum, just want to have the smallest size in average. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Labeling behavior at the edge of image
Hi all, I've met an issue during my work. There is a polygon right at the edge of an generated image. By setting position to auto, the label is rendered, shifted a little bit off. It's as expected I would say. However, a question arose immediately, what happen to the label of the other part of the same polygon in the tile right next to this image? Answer is that it's not render, no label to the other part. It seems reasonable too. But it does seems a bit odd to viewers, since after tiles are shown on a browser tile by tile side by side. No one will notice that there is the edge slicing the polygon right into two parts, and the label is shifted off from the center of the polygon. So, if I would like to have the label sits right at the middle (position cc) of the polygon, then what? Not sure if it can be achieved. I've tried allowing partial label, but doesn't seem working. Anyone have any idea? ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] Why failed to hard wrap labels?
Hi all, I have met a weird situation while using hard wraps on labels. I haven't tried on English labels, the same wrapping setting yields different results when applied to Chinese labels. It's not the first time i have met this problem, nor the sending mail here. This time I have made a test case. Attached is a map file for testing, and its output (cropped). In the output image, you can see the there is a single-line label at the upper left corner, while another wrapped label at the lower right. Both labels are set to hard wrapping on the fourth character (MAXLENGTH -4). However, only the longer one seems wrapped correctly. Since the font displaying is not important here, i have not attached the font used here. Below are two more strings for testing, one can just replace the TEXT with them. In case anyone curious enough, the first 6 characters in the second string are exactly the same as the first string. 船湾郊野公园 船湾郊野公园 (扩建部份) attachment: testwrap.png testwrap.map Description: Binary data ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Hi Nyon, Not sure about your exact situation. Think you may want to add a FILTER to the layer, or use the CLASSITEM to differentiate them with different display style or even hiding them.

It was quick and dirty but it shows MapServer can possibly render like the example you referenced. Key is producing the cube (sides, top, and bottom) data. I would expect that could be done ahead of time via a script where you offset the footprint in the y direction by a height value and then compute the sides- each as a separate shape. I suppose it would be possible to create a plugin layer for this type of data (footprint + height) but easiest route is probably data pre-processing Something to try anyway.

[mapserver-users] Label size proportion to geometry size
Hi all, Say, I have two polygon in the same layer, and they are at the same logical group/level on the map. Means that both feature should be drawn and labeled at the same scale. However, one polygon is much larger than (say 10 times larger) than the other. Currently, I let MapServer to handle the scaling automatically, so that in a display scale, the label of the larger one looks too small while the larger one looks gigantic. My thought is straight forward: tie the font size to the size of the polygon. However, since the label must be scaled with respect to the map display scale, it has to be dynamic; further, since they belongs to the same logical group, they'll eventually be in the same size when zoomed in enough. My first thought is to bind the MINSIZE to a data attribute, so that they start with different font sizes and eventually scaled to the same MAXSIZE.

We are using PostGIS, and the database is using UTF8 (pgpr.png), while all Arabic data can be shown correctly on my English Windows XP, and we've tried some more machines, or on IE, to make sure that Arabic text in database are really UTF8. Here's the images: http://www3.mapasia.com/jackout/ara.png The part of the map file is as follow, where the arbic-trans is a Arabic TrueType font named Arabic Transparent: LABEL ANGLE FOLLOW PRIORITY [priority] ENCODING UTF-8 COLOR 0 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255 TYPE TRUETYPE FONT arbic-trans SIZE 7 POSITION AUTO PARTIALS FALSE MINDISTANCE 500 BUFFER 1 MINFEATURESIZE 50 END Any clue?

I beleieve this is also designated as version fribidi-0.19.1 2) A typetype font file that contains the shape gliphs that you might need along with the characters that you need to display. 3) And I'm sure this works with UTF-8, but unsure about other encodings. 4) your data converted to UTF-8 if it is in some other encoding 5) and finally you mapfile label definition which specifies an encoding of utf-8. You might get other variations of this to work, I would be interested in hearing your reports of you can get others to work. I have sucessfully gotten the above to work.

I've asked this problem in MS4W mailing list but no success. it sounds it originally relates to mapserver According to what History.txt for MS4W2.2.8 says, problem for arabic and hebrew languages has been solved by using UTF8. But i couldn't get a good result. In fact, UTF8 doesn't show letters correctly (just some symbols). i have tried lots of fonts but the same result. in current version, the problem of joining letters have been solved because i can get result using 'ISO8859-6' encoding which is for arabic but now this encoding changes some of letters with each other. In last version, 'Windows-1256' encoding (for arabic) worked well for showing letters just they were separate not joint. but in cuurent versions this encoding just shows some symbols. I'm confused. maybe i should setup sth which i don't do or i don't know sth else. that would be my appreciate to help me because it is really a need. Maps without labels have less usage. Thanks in advance (See attachments) My Mapfile: LABEL TYPE TrueType FONT timesnewromans ENCODING 'windows-1256' SIZE 12 END ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] Failed to show Arabic labels with MapServer 5.2
I've located the problem, it seems that the TTF font (Arabic Transparent) is not 100% unicode safe. And maybe I've messed something up, so that the font Arial didn't produce the correct result. But now I can use Arial to produce image. However, there still seems to be a slight problem (well, I'm not sure whether it is a proble, since I can't read Arabic). When the label has an angle, the words are broken a bit. Although they are using the joined character but there are tiny gaps between them.

If you are using a windows machine, try getting mapserver via the fonts.txt file to point to the arial.ttf in the fonts folder. And change you FONT ... to select the windows arial font. This assumes that you can display arabic text correctly using the arial font from a windows application like excel. -Steve W. Jackey Cheung wrote: Greetings!

[mapserver-users] Problem making mapserv on Linux with fribidi
Greetings! We've tried to build MapServer on our Linux test server, and it goes fine with no error reported. However, when we put it to test, all Arabic words are broken but the character sequence is correctly ordered from right to left (attached jpg). We've tried to download the latest version from MapServer's and FriBidi's official site and done it again, still no success. The box is a CentOS 5.1, and here's the command line we've used: ./configure \ --with-jpeg \ --with-png \ --with-freetype \ --with-proj \ --with-geos \ --with-ogr \ --with-gdal \ --with-curl \ --with-tiff \ --with-gd \ --with-libiconv \ --with-zlib \ --with-xpm \ --with-agg=/usr/local/agg \ --with-grass \ --with-httpd=/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd \ --with-php=/usr/local/php \ --with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config \ --with-fribidi-config=/usr/local/lib/pk and here's the mapfile: MAP SHAPEPATH/map/map FONTSET/map/fonts.list SYMBOLSET/map/symbols.list UNITSDD EXTENT-180 -90 180 90 OUTPUTFORMAT NAMEAGGA DRIVERAGG/PNG MIMETYPEimage/png IMAGEMODERGBA TRANSPARENTON EXTENSIONpng FORMATOPTION INTERLACE=OFF END OUTPUTFORMAT NAMEPNG24 DRIVERGD/PNG MIMETYPEimage/png IMAGEMODERGBA EXTENSIONpng TRANSPARENTON FORMATOPTION INTERLACE=OFF END IMAGETYPEAGGA IMAGECOLOR255255255 PROJECTION init=epsg:4326 END WEB IMAGEPATH/map/tmp/ms_tmp/ IMAGEURL/ms_tmp/ END LAYER NAME12 STATUSDEFAULT TYPEPOLYGON TRANSFORMFALSE FEATURE POINTS 0 0 0 400 400 400 400 0 0 0 END END CLASS STYLE COLOR 220 220 220 END END END LAYER NAME12 STATUSDEFAULT TYPEANNOTATION TRANSFORMFALSE FEATURE POINTS 350 350 END TEXT 12 طريق شيخ عسى سلمان END CLASS LABEL ANGLEAUTO ENCODINGUTF-8 COLOR0 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR255 255 255 TYPETRUETYPE FONTarabic-trad SIZE12 ANTIALIASTRUE POSITIONAUTO PARTIALSFALSE END END END LAYER NAME16 STATUSDEFAULT TYPEANNOTATION TRANSFORMFALSE FEATURE POINTS 250 250 END TEXT 16 طريق شيخ عسى سلمان END CLASS LABEL ANGLEAUTO ENCODINGUTF-8 COLOR0 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR255 255 255 TYPETRUETYPE FONTarabic-trad SIZE16 ANTIALIASTRUE POSITIONAUTO PARTIALSFALSE END END END LAYER NAME20 STATUSDEFAULT TYPEANNOTATION TRANSFORMFALSE FEATURE POINTS 150 150 END TEXT 20 طريق شيخ عسى سلمان END CLASS LABEL ANGLEAUTO ENCODINGUTF-8 COLOR0 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR255 255 255 TYPETRUETYPE FONTarabic-trad SIZE20 ANTIALIASTRUE POSITIONAUTO PARTIALSFALSE END END END LAYER NAME24 STATUSDEFAULT TYPEANNOTATION TRANSFORMFALSE FEATURE POINTS 50 50 END TEXT 24 طريق شيخ عسى سلمان END CLASS LABEL ANGLE
Re: [mapserver-users] How do I make a shapefile polygon thicker within UMN Mapserver
The good news is, if I recall correctly, starting from MapServer 5.0, the WIDTH parameter affects the width of the outline of polygon layers.
