On both Linuxes it is no problem to install Perl Mapscript but as far as I've seen MS4W and OSGEO don't come with Perl Mapscript. As my Scripts have to run on Windows I wonder whether there is an easy way to install it or does it mean compiling for Windows? Is there some kind of howto for installing PerlMapscript? Thanks very much In the source directory mapscript/perl the README file explains the compilation process. I've never tried on Windows however and don't know if it will work. ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
[mapserver-users] A Thank You
Good day. I wanted to forward a thank you from our end-users to the developers, maintainers & repository maintainers. We recently updated from 5.0 to 6.0 and although it's not the latest version the users really like the AGG output vs. the GD output we've used in the past. Kudos to all.

Re: [mapserver-users] A Thank You
And thanks to you Lowell, for pushing this FOSS4G use in your corporate environment. I'm also curious to know what platforms and packages of MapServer your infrastructure runs on, at the development and production levels? (I've seen you on here mentioning Windows before) On my side, I feel it's as important to promote the software users as well. Thanks, -jeff Jeff, The platform has varied through the years but is now all Linux (Ubuntu Precise) using ubuntugis-stable for updates. I think the Windows reference points to an attempt to help out a user with PerlMapscript which we use.

[mapserver-users] Mapserver WMS & Grey-scale Images
Good day. We currently use Mapserver/Mapscript for several different functions. One of those functions is to serve orthophotography via WMS. Does anyone know if there is a way to configure Mapserver or Perl Mapscript to consume color images and serve grey-scale? Thank you.

Perhaps to use OUTPUTFORMAT with FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/path/to/palette.txt" FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=on" may help http://gis.ibbeck.de/ginfo/apps/OLExamples/OL210/MapServer_SLD_World/MapServ er_Grayscale.asp Arnd Arnd, Thank you, that should work.

[mapserver-users] IE/Windows mis-registered clicks
We have been having a persistent problem which seems to be occurring more with the advent of MS-Windows 7. We were able to track the problem down in MS-Windows XP some time ago and could provide users with an easy fix but now the setting changes needed under Vista & 7 are more cumbersome. We found that a user running XP, using IE, and who had changed their screen DPI from "Normal Size" to "Large Size" could not click on the map image and have IE return valid pixel coordinates. When the user picked on pixel 400,400 of the map image IE would return something like 200,200. I'm sure it's the difference between the default 96DPI and their modified 120DPI. Unfortunately the problem is not easily reproducible in XP and only seems to effect XP installs that have undergone some sort of "update", but we don't know what. With 7 I'm beginning to wonder if every user of our site using 7 & IE is having issues. At least with XP the one case I was able to study proved that it effected not just our site but google maps also, but with 7 I can't verify anything. Is anyone else experiencing this issue and have a fix? Thanks in advance!

[mapserver-users] SWIG MapScript Documentation Notes
Good day all. Thanks to a bad rule that has been sending my mapserver-users mail to /dev/null I'm sure I'm probably missing something... However, where should notes regarding the SWIG MapScript documentation be sent for inclusion in the doc? Thanks.

Re: [mapserver-users] problem renaming the mapscript module for perl (swig problem???)

Hello everybody!
For evaluation purposes we need to run a mapserver 5.6.3
incl. mapscript for perl in parallel with version 5.0.0
(system is a 64 bit SLES 10 with swig 1.3.27).
So i need to store the mapserver binaries in a separate
directory (no problem of course) and rename the mapscript
module for perl to something like 'mapscript563'.
Following the instructions on
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/PerlMapScriptBuild35
i did the following:
1. In .../mapserver-5.6.3/mapscript/perl/plmodule.i
changed the line '%allowexception;' to
'%feature("allowexcept");' (the former being an alias
to the latter introduced in swig 1.3.28...)
2. In .../mapserver-5.6.3/mapscript/perl/Makefile.PL
changed the line "'NAME' => 'mapscript'," to
"'NAME' => 'mapscript563',"
3. In .../mapserver-5.6.3/mapscript/mapscript.i
changed the line "%module mapscript" to
"%module mapscript563"
4. Changed directory to .../mapserver-5.6.3/mapscript/perl/
and issued:
swig -shadow -perl5 ../mapscript.i
rm mapscript.pm
perl Makefile.PL
make
So i ended up with files
.../mapserver-5.6.3/mapscript/perl/mapscript563.pm
and
.../mapserver-5.6.3/mapscript/perl/blib/arch/auto/mapscript563/mapscript563.so
which seemed fine at first glance.
However, examining those files shows that not all
function calls in mapscript563.pm got changed from
'mapscript::*' and 'mapscriptc::*' to
'mapscript563::*' and 'mapscript563c::*'
Function calls starting with 'mapscript::' are always calls
to RFC24_ADD_PARENT_REF(...) or RFC24_DEL_PARENT_REF(...)
Function calls starting with 'mapscriptc::' always appear
in subs that call one of mapscript::RFC24_ADD_PARENT_REF(...)
or mapscript::RFC24_DEL_PARENT_REF(...)
Everything else is changed to the intended '563' names.
Is this due to an incomplete interface file for swig?
And will it become a problem after deployment anyway?
(I just test the installation process as such but don't
have access to the applications for actually testing the
functioning of the mapscript module...)
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance...
Christian
Christian,
It may be splitting hairs but is it possible that mapscript.pm needs to be
removed prior to re-swig.
Aside from that, this question is beyond me.
Can you obtain a small snippet of code to test with?
There should be some sample Perl scripts in the install.
Lowell

The oblique images are not mosaicked and are just indirectly georeferenced. There do exist ground-footprints as shape with path to each file - comparable to a tileindex. One way I thought of, could be mosaicking each direction (N-E-S-W) and add them as separate layers to the service... (I know the results look a bit strange and I also don't know such software for mosaicking - Google's/Bing's secret? Are there any open solutions for that?) Another idea could be to use a "special tileindex mode" for each direction, where just the most matching oblique will be rendered from footprint-tileindex. Would you suggest a real 3D-solution? How to serve that? Any more hints are welcome :) ... and a happy new year! Regards Ben Ben, For the oblique images, we use the ground footprint layer to populate a DB table with the four corners of each image and a calculated center for each shot. That table is used as a match against the center of the current map extent to locate the oblique that is the "closet" as a view starting point. We then use Imagemagick for three different operations to merge the oblique and the map image. Rotate the current map image to match the orientation of the oblique image. Distort (-disort Perspective) to stretch the map image to match the perspective of the oblique. Composite to merge the map image and oblique into a single image. The navigation is not fancy, there are pan arrows provided to allow the user to move to the next oblique to the N,S,E,W of the current oblique and a compass rose to allow the user to change the oblique perspective N,S,E,W. With the pan arrows and compass rotated to match whatever perspective is being viewed. We have yet to investigate the methods used in Birds-eye to see how that works. We expect that the plugin provided by the oblique vendor is being used. Hope that helps.

Re: [mapserver-users] Oblique aerial images with mapserver?
Hi Lowell, thank you for your response. < For the oblique images, we use the ground footprint layer to populate a DB table with the four corners of each image and a calculated center for each shot. That table is used as a match against the center of the current map extent to locate the oblique that is the "closet" as a view starting point. OK so far... could be done in a lot of ways. Ben, We use PerlMagick for the image manipulation but there are plenty of ways to access the ImageMagick tools. The trouble with creating a WMS service of the oblique is that the image needs to be warped to fit into the orthogonal map view or the map needs to be warped to fit into the oblique view. What we experienced, is that warping the cadastral data to the oblique has the best end result. Otherwise, you loose the clarity in the oblique and it is slow. Perhaps if a projection string for each tile was generated and saved in the DB table, the projection could be used for the layer when rendering a map image instead of the basic image type of re-projection being done via ImageMagick.?
