[mapserver-users] Styling (classes) based on zoom/extent?

2011-10-19 Thread Michael G.
Hello everyone,

I would like to render a layer only on closer zoomlevels. I am using
OpenLayers that requests the map via WMS. I assume a zoom-level is not
passed via WMS, so I would have to use the extends of a tile, which is
fine, too.

Can I somehow use these values in the EXPRESSION statement of classes?

Best wishes,
Michael

Hmm, any hints for what I should search for?

 Hello,
 
 I am rendering vectordata from a PostGIS database which works like a charm.
 My layer definition looks like this:
 LAYER
 NAME vector
 METADATA
 wms_include_items all
 wms_title dortmund_basic
 END
 TEMPLATE gfi.html
 TYPE POLYGON
 ## Should be inherited from MAP level, but is good practice to have
 here, too: ##(or not? .)
 #PROJECTION
 #   init=epsg:900913
 #END
 DUMP true
 
 CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
 CONNECTION host=x dbname=x user=x password=x port=5432
 DATA the_geom FROM x
 
 CLASS
 STYLE
 COLOR 200 50 50
 OUTLINECOLOR 60 60 60
 #SYMBOL 0
 ANTIALIAS true
 OPACITY 80  # in percent
 END
 END
 END
 
 Right now, I have not fully grasped how features/information is saved along
 with the vector data in the PostGIS database, but I am also not maintaining
 it. Supposingly we will have a float-value saved along with every vector.
 Can someone explain or give me hints, how I could map such a value which is
 saved along into a color? Like a brighter shade of red the higher the value 
 is?
 
 Sincerely
 Michael Gajda

[mapserver-users] Meaning of PROJECTION and WMS - using OpenLayers

2011-08-10 Thread Michael G.
Hi,

since a couple of days we try visualize data from a postgis database using
mapserver and openlayers. As far as we know is our postgis data in EPSG:25832
and our mapfile for mapserver looks like this:

http://dpaste.com/hold/591626/

Now we have created an index.html containing the following JS snippet:

http://dpaste.com/hold/591627/

We can test the WMS using a direct WMS URL to our MapServer and asking for
EPSG:25832 and the correct extends, and it displays the map just fine
(Everything is protected so I cannot provide this URL here).

If we try to display the map using the openlayers code above we do not see
anything at all. You can zoom and move it around but that's
everthing you get with openlayers. Networkdebugging tools tell me, that
OpenLayers by default is requesting that google projection of EPSG:3867. But
even providing coordinates that should somehow be in Dortmund it does only
display the backgroundcolor.

Maybe you can help me clearing up a few things. Like the list of projections
in 'wms_srs' is what MapServer provides via WMS. And the PROJECTION entry on
the 'LAYER' level should be set to the projection of my data. Correct? And
the PROJECTION on the MAP level is ignored? Does MapServer automatically
convert the coordinates? MapServer requires to have EXTEND set. Which
projection should I use? The one defined at MAP level?

Best regards,
Michael
