[mapserver-users] Label Line Layers Question

2008-06-02 Thread Jeshua Lacock


Greetings,

I am working on a tutorial for MapServer using a Postgis backend, and  
I just want to check if I am setting a correct example. This is my  
first .map file so please forgive me for my noob question.


Is there a way to have text labels and lines on the same layer?  
Instead of two Postgis queries, I was wondering if it is possible to  
do with a single query.


Here is the pertinent portion of my .map files:

LAYER
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  NAME roads
  CONNECTION user=postgres dbname=ca_hwy host=localhost
  DATA the_geom FROM (SELECT roads.oid AS oid, roads.the_geom AS  
the_geom, roads.fename AS fename FROM roads) AS named_roads USING  
UNIQUE oid USING SRID=-1

  STATUS ON
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  LABELITEM fename
  CLASS
LABEL
  POSITION auto
  ANGLE follow
  SHADOWCOLOR 120 255 120
  SHADOWSIZE 1 1
  SIZE 8
  COLOR 0 192 0
  FONT sans-bold
  TYPE truetype
  BUFFER 4
  MINDISTANCE 200
  ANTIALIAS TRUE
END
  END
END

LAYER
  CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
  NAME roads
  CONNECTION user=postgres dbname=ca_hwy host=localhost
  DATA the_geom FROM roads USING UNIQUE oid USING SRID=-1
  STATUS ON
  TYPE LINE
  CLASS
SIZE 2
COLOR 0 0 0
  END
END

In the getMap statement, add FORMAT=agg, as in

Thanks for the tip. I am using ka-map, so it renders beautifully now  
after following these brief instructions:

what's up, are there no students interested in working on MapServer?



Ahhh, now if I were only a student!

Is it possible to process the submeter part of the coordinates too?  
If the answer is yes (what I hope), than how?



I personally don't know if it supports MM, but I suppose one could  
always multiple their values by 1,000.

Re: [mapserver-users] upload/stream data from GPS unit?

My guess is that you will need some sort of device to log the data  
from the GPS and then transmit it across a wireless network (pager,  
SMS, cell phone).  At your base station, you would have capture the  
messages, parse them, and then probably stuff the data into a  
database (PostGIS?).


Your MapServer map file could then point to the spatial data layer  
in PostGIS.  Every hit to MapServer would show the latest data.


Bill,

I would just like to mention that if help with automating this is  
needed, I could easily develop a solution for Mac OS X.


GIS automation on the Mac is my specialty. ;)

Re: [mapserver-users] Running with MrSID (not scissors)

Searched my archives and found a few references to MrSID ... mostly
that people are getting it to work.  However, is there an explicit
how-to for getting MrSID going?  Namely, how to compile GDAL with the
support.  Also, are there any licensing requirements?


Hello,

It might be good to share for what platform...

I suspect that the GDAL list would be a more appropriate place to  
inquire about GDAL support.
