[mapserver-users] Using a attribute substring for labeling
Hello, while using a ShapeFile, created with gdaltindex, as data source for a layer I'd like to use a substring of the location attribute for labeling. I could (and probably will) preprocess the ShapeFile to add the label text as additional attribute. But I wanted to try this step within MapServer first. My current example contains a path and file name. The file name has a 4 digit number in it I would like to use as label. To make it more complicated, the substring has various positions within the whole string. Maybe there is a way with tostring() which accepts sprintf formatting, but I couldn't figure out the correct syntax yet. With a database layer of course I would be able to use SQL to extract a substring and pass it as additional attribute, but not with a ShapeFile. Is there a way to extract a substring from an attribute value and use it as label? It would be nice to have a function available to use in EXPRESSION or TEXT parameter. Thank you in advance for any hints. Lars ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Keep in mind that your system may have individual settings like where to store the data, what user accounts and permissions are available. These where often the things I had to struggle with. [...] have got mapserver working as a cgi OK - with the usual error message to say it is working from the browser, No query information to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty. That is actually a good sign. I would try to get MapServer running first and then configure MapCache. MapServer needs to be told where the mapfile is and what the request is about. At first I'd try a capabilities request like this: http://yourserver.tld/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/path/to/your/mapfile.mapREQUEST=GetCapabilitiesSERVICE=WMSVERSION=1.1.1 If everything is fine, you'll get the capabilities document in xml format. The path to your mapfile needs to be accessible by MapServer/webserver and regarding security aspects it shouldn't be accessible from outside world. How did you configure your webserver with cgi and MapServer? Can you show some configuration like a vhost file from apache? When MapServer can't access it, you will get an error message about it. When it is accessible but it have configuration issues within your mapfile, you will also get a error message most often with a hint where in your mapfile the (first) error is. The message is displayed in your browser and probably in you webserver error log file. If you are interested in verbose messages you can enable DEBUG [1] in your mapfile. There you can set a global logging and logging at layer level and log everything in an separate file. Even if your mapfile is syntactically correct and all your data sources are configured properly, especially projections and expressions for filtering, you can end up getting a completely white (depending on your background color) image. That happens when you are requesting via GetMap an area where you have no data or your mapfile simply don't have a configuration for this specific bounding box and/or scale. Here is a valid GetMap request from the MapServer docs [2] http://my.host.com/cgi-bin/mapserv? map=mywms.map SERVICE=WMS VERSION=1.1.1 REQUEST=GetMap LAYERS=prov_bound STYLES= SRS=EPSG:4326 BBOX=-173.537,35.8775,-11.9603,83.8009 WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 FORMAT=image/png That implies that the server can access mywms.map AND is actually serving projection with epsg:4326 (*) AND your mapfile as a layer configured with name prov_bound AND you have data within this BBOX. For testing MapServer you don't have to craft the requests by hand. I'm using the build in openlayers mode [3] and Qgis [4].

Re: [mapserver-users] searching for a solution to render polygons crossing the antimeridan
Hi Peter,
I could reproduce your findings. Excellent issue report btw. Data-SQL
and mapfile are just working with copy paste :)
Displaying in epsg:4326 is working fine.
I noticed a difference in your epsg code 3785 (in your request URL and
3875 in your wms_srs parameter. But even if I add 3785 to it nothing
changes.
Interisting: When I'm viewing the data in QGIS (postgis layer), with
3785 the geometries have a similar artistic look.
Best wishes,
Lars

We have polygons in a postgis 2.1 db describing the satellite images

to a map via WMS calls using google Mercator in the map client (or any
other projection supported by the WMS). The problem is that the polygons

Re: [mapserver-users] WMS Server Optimization?
Hi, thats an interesting case. Like Jukka said, could you check your Apache log files and identify the request URL send by AutoCad? I would run these request by hand and check the resulting image. For comparison it would be interesting to do this also with a request from GrobalMapper or other clients who run normally. MapServer itself can also write timing information to the log file. Enable debugging by adding DEBUG 3 at map level (see docs for more settings). Than you will see how much time each layer as well as the whole map needed to complete. Maybe these information can help.

No other WMS layers behave like that in AutoCAD Map and as I mentioned previously, the layers don't work like that in any other program. The layers are made up of about 1600 PNG images that are referenced in the .map file by tileindexes. One layer is at 2 metre pixels and the other at 5 metre pixels. If I remove the layer that references the 2 metre images and only use the 5 metre images, the layer is attached quite quickly. If I switch and use only the 2 metre image layer the speed is slow again. My output format is PNG8. The images are stored in the same projection as they are being queried. I have added the wms_extents metadata to each layer. The MAXGEOWIDTH is such that no data is queried on inital loading of the layer. I have asked the question in the AutoCAD support forums, from the AutoCAD MAp perspective, but was hoping there might be some suggestions as to configuration/map options, in Mapserver, that might help speed up this operation.

[mapserver-users] layer mask without clipping
Hello, I really like the MapServer layer mask feature. Is there a way that MapServer doesn't clip the mask, instead just setting a opacitiy / color value? I'm getting the result by rendering two passes with mask and inverted mask. The latter is using a white opacity layer on top. Afterwards I can stack the images together. The is working well, as long as there are no labels rendered along the mask boundary. If they are, then they are not clipped.

Re: [mapserver-users] Σχετ: Σχετ: Mapserver can't read mapfile
Hi Stefanos, thanks for the mapfile. Here are some points I would check: - you habe MAP two times in your file (might be ok, though) - you don't have a projecten defined In which projection are your data? The white color you see in your browser come from the IMAGECOLOR. So MapServer is actually creating a image without objects rendered. I would enable the debugging to check in the logfile whether MapServer is getting any data out of your data source.

[mapserver-users] really huge maps / MAXSIZE
Hello MapServer users, with the MAXSIZE parameter I can limit the output size. Does the value depend only on the available memory? When I set it to high, MapServer is crashing. I was wondering if there is an option to force MapServer to use an additional (slow) memory like a hard disk to make sure the rendering size doesn't matter. An other solution would be to write a script which splits a render request into smaller ones and stitches the results together. That would be independent from MapServer. With really huge maps I mean more than 5 pixel. With 32GB I can manage up to 4 pixel. Is anyone else running MapServer at its pixel limit? How do you handle it?

Just thinking out loud... Raise the debug level to 3 at map level and layer level. You can let MapServer write its own error logfile, so your apache log stays clean. Could you find anything in the MapServer log file? Here I would identify a working 4326 GFI request and compare the corresponding log with a 900913 request. There should be a difference.

[mapserver-users] group layer and GetFeatureInfo
Hello, my mapfile has three layers (same data, but different Min/MaxScale) and each of them is queryable. Every Layer is in a group and the group get advertised in the Capabilities-Document. Only the queryable info is missing for the group layer. The gfi request itself works on the group layer. But I have to modify my Capabilities-Document, so my webclient will recognize it can query the group. I found an posting from last year [1] but no open/closed ticket.

[mapserver-users] mapserver, ogr, osm/pbf
Hello, since gdal 1.10 it is possible to access OSM files directly. Somehow I'm struggling with the configuration. I'm using a small extract from Berlin [1]. The ogrinfo output looks fine [2] to me. Within in the mapfile [3] I managed to access the osm file and getting a map back. For the rendering I need to access the fields and their values. Thats where I'm struggling. This works: ... CONNECTIONTYPE ogr CONNECTION /data/berlin-small.osm DATA 1 ## that are the lines ... This doesn't: ... CONNECTIONTYPE ogr CONNECTION /data/berlin-small.osm DATA lines ## DATA SELECT * from lines ... I also tried using a VRT file [4] so I can access the lines directly and applying a filter. But this didn't work either. Probably I'm making something wrong with the DATA statement. The second problem is with accessing a pbf file directly. Response is File not found or unsupported format. I compiled MapServer with ogr/gdal 1.10 and the system is Ubuntu 12.04 and with ogrinfo I get back all infos like from the osm raw file. My goal is to create a service which processes a small extract and renders a overview map, without using any database. Anybody listening here who solved something like this? Or can give other feedback?

Re: [mapserver-users] How can I avoid long notation of double values in label or info template for shapes?
Hi Lars, thanks for the information! It works fine for the label. Before I defined LABELITEM mycolumn and got the long notation: 2.540e+000 with definition TEXT mycolumn the label looks fine (without using any function): 2.54 Is there a solution for the query result too? I assume that you cant use any of these functions in your template file. Would be nice if I'm wrong. An workaround could be to use the ogr connection type. This way, you can access and modify your features/attributes with SQL. Look at example #4 here [1]. I think you can use SELECT ..., round(numbercolumn,2) as mycolumn FROM... here. But than... if the performance isn't good enough, it might me worth to just preprocess the shape files. Or put them in a database to be more flexibel.

When I use epsg:3857 with the geodesic=true option the scalebar in OpenLayers looks correct. Whereas MapServer is still wrong. Is MapServer able to calculate an correct scalebar for 4326?

[mapserver-users] how does mapserver determine shapefile encoding?

QGis is also displaying everything fine. But when I try to convert with shp2pgsql or ogr I get only garbage back. I tried different source encodings. Since I need the data to be in the database I'm now trying to find out where the problem is. I tried converting the data on different systems (Ubuntu, RedHat), with postgis/shp2pgsql from repository as well as self compiled. Same results. Also iconv and recode wasn't a help. As I said QGis is displaying everything fine it fails in converting the shapefile too. Opening the dbf in LibreOffice doesn't helped either. Finally my (odd) questions are: Why does MapServer do everything right? How is the encoding determined? Can I see somewhere which encoding is used by MapServer? Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Re: [mapserver-users] how does mapserver determine shapefile encoding?
Hello Carlos, I should have been be more precise. By using all the tools, shp2pgsql, iconv, recode I set the source encoding parameter. And I tried different encodings. My database is configured for utf8. But the problem arise before the data is send to the database. With shp2pgsql I generated an sql file, containing wrong character strings. With ogr2ogr I tried to convert to csv or json just for testing, but without success. Depending on the encoding I get garbage or the error message that the data couldn't be converted to utf8. Thank you for your answer. Lars Am 02.08.2011 22:01, schrieb Carlos Ruiz: Lars, When you try to load some data to a PostgreSQL server, you can specify the encoding to use. This can be done with client_encoding. For example, if you want to populate a table with some CSV file contents, you have to do the following: SET client_encoding = 'LATIN1'; COPY my_table FROM '/usr/file.csv' WITH CSV Now, when you use shp2pgsql you can't set the client encoding, but you can set the default client_encoding of your database and every data transfer between some client and your database will be encoded properly: ALTER DATABASE my_database SET client_encoding = 'LATIN1' Hope this helps Cheers from Guadalajara, México IC Carlos Ruiz From: Lars Lingner gislars+l...@googlemail.com To: 'mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org' mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Sent: Tuesday, August 2, 2011 2:45 PM Subject: [mapserver-users] how does mapserver determine shapefile encoding?

I am running Mac OSX Snow Leopard with Apache. I'm not familiar with OSX but I hope to be at least of some help. According to my httpd-conf file, my document root is /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ ; however, when I use the tutorial data the files need to be in my root directory i.e. /ws4w/etc... I thought that all the data had to be in the document root. Can someone explain this to me please? In your htdocs folder you have to place everything which should be delivered by your webserver, in this case apache. So here you place any html or php files you need for your application as well as icons or images you need. When you put files in here make sure apache can read them. Its usually a good idea to make apache own the files. Then you have your mapserver application staying in a directory configured for cgi applications, like mapserver is. In the end mapserver can be called by an URL like this: http://server.tld/cgi-bin/mapserv Configuration files for almost all applications stay in /etc, so for apache its /etc/apache2. There is also the configuration where the cgi directory and your document root is configured. To build an mapserver application you need a mapfile and some data you want to show. You don't want to put this in your document root, because then these files would be accessible by anyone. If you are using an mapserver version 5.0 then you need obey some rules which are described in [1]. Basically your mapfile has to start with the keyword MAP Another problem I am having...I bought the book Beginning Mapserver: Open Source GIS Development. The first simple example is a Hello World example. The program starts off with a Click Me botton and a broken image. When you click on the button, it is supposed to show the Hello World text. When I click, I get an error like this: msLoadMap(): Premature End-of-File. Below are the two files that I used for the program premature end of file means that something with your mapfile is wrong. Could be a missing quote, a missing keyword... Maybe the examples in the book are a little old (I don't know this tutorial).

Is there an option to trim the values with a dedicated mapfile-parameter, e.g. where a prinft-syntax can be used to format the values? The shapefiles are generated automatically so adding another column with trunc()ed or round()ed values is no option. Are there any options to format label-values/strings? I have not found anything in the docs. AFAIK there isn't a trim/cut function. If the numbers have the same ending you could define them as WARP character and they would be replaced by a line break.

I can offer a couple of sites as could others I bet. I like your example, nice and colorful. If someone could point me to MapServer powered sites, I'll update the screenshot in the flyer. - Perhaps the screen shots could be a bit taller, more of a square aspect ratio? Ok, I'll take a further look. - Under features it might make sense to highlight output options: all sorts of raster images, PDF, SWF, SVG and templated text - Might include input and the new output plugin architectures as features - The Leverages best-of-breed sentence could be reworked to say we leverage other OSGeo projects including GDAL, GEOS, PostGIS and Proj.4. I think we should really emphasize the reliance on other OSGeo projects. - In the last feature sentence I think MapBuilder can be removed. There are some frameworks specific to (or that at least favor) MapServer (e.g. p.mapper and GeoMoose) that could get some love here... Thanks for this info. I'm putting it in. I think the 5.6 features are performance centric (raster rendering improvements, single pass, etc...). The 6.0 release *should* have a more output-based focus with full support for the rendering plugin, new object structures including references, better SLD support, styles within labels and so on. XML mapfiles will be in 5.6. It's important to note that XML mapfiles allow users to define a configuration in XML but you must transform it to a .map file for use.

Lars ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users That didn't seem to work. It made all my fonts really small, but the labels still duped. Do you have at MAP level the UNITS parameter? [feet|inches|kilometers|meters|miles|dd] Please try that, I should have told you that in my last reply ;) also: which projection have you set at MAP level? The help says layer.sizeUnits Sets the unit of CLASS object SIZE, does that include label font size? it sets the unit of the object size, not the size itself. The font size is controlled by the SIZE parameter (LABEL object) It defaults to pixels, yes? Wouldnt a really big MINDISTANCE still have removed dups? Not necessarily... Often they are different in orders of magnitude Lars ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

The font size is controlled by the SIZE parameter (LABEL object) Then why did the labels font size change? I'm not sure about this. If I'm changing sizeunits from meters to kilometers, my style looks realy awkward but my labels are stay the same.

I'm unsing MINDISTANCE the same way for controlling road labels. One other thing you can try is to play with BUFFER for the labels. Which version of MapServer are you using? I know along with 5.4 there where some enhancements for labeling. One last thought: Do you have this problem just with the layer annotate_pin? Does the labeling of other layers work as you expect? lars ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Natural is reserved keyword in PostgrSQL, but it is not actually denied to use it as a column name. It just needs to be queried like select natural from osm_line limit 10; Renaming the column may make living a bit easier, many PostGIS drivers I have used with GIS programs are sending SQL simply like select natural... and that will fail.

[mapserver-users] LABELMAXSCALEDENOM at class level possibly?
Hello, since I can have several classes in an layer and a class can have a label object, I thought I can use LABELMAXSCALEDENOM (or LABELMINSCALEDENOM) at class level. But LABELMAXSCALEDENOM seems only valid at layer level. Of course I can use MAXSCALEDENOM at class level, but this effects the whole class not just the label. Am I doing something wrong, do I oversee something? Or is this behavior intended like it is? I'm using current trunk: ./mapserv -v MapServer version 5.3-dev OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE Lars ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] different attribute values of subfeatures and its visualization
Hello list, I have a bunch of spatial data in my PostgreSQL/PostGIS-DB. They are polyline features. Each polyline has some global attributes, which means the attributes are describing the whole line. Length is such an attribute but also the overall diameter could be one. To make it more visual, the polylines should represent tubes. A polyline consists (of course) of one or more lines. Such a line I would call subfeature. Every line has its own length and also e.g. its own diameter attribute. Sometimes the values of diameter are equal at the whole length, that is no problem. I have issues if the values are not equal. My idea was to give the subfeatures with different values an different stroke width, to represent the diameter, or at least an different color. Is there a way to tell mapserver that a feature should have such a complex visualization? I have the coordinates stored at the DB and can query it, if it helps at any point. 1) First I thought I cut the features apart and can then define classes in my mapfile. The drawback is then: I'll loose the state of the whole feature. I want to be able to query the feature and the response should include the global attributes and the ones specified by the subfeature. Hmmm... 2) I also could store the global attributes with the subfeature. But then I'll end up with a lot redundancy, which I want to avoid. Hmmm... At the end I want to define an WMS and WFS. With way 1) I also get a lot of features returned by the WFS which makes the handling at the client very memory consuming and very very slow. Therefore I want to start with the WMS but now I'm at a dead end. My question is: Is there a an other way (independent from my 1+2) to make the sizing of a feature depended on the attribution on a subfeature? I hope I could make myself understandable. But with such a complex issue (isn't it?) I'll happy to answer any open questions. Thanks in advance lars ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
