Re: [MapServer-users] Qgis layer style file in mapfile

[Seth G]

Hi Marcin,

Good timing with the question! There is currently a code sprint happening for 
the GeoStyler project [1]
This allows conversion between different styles including QGIS and MapServer 
Mapfiles.
If you are looking to convert from QGIS to Mapfile you need to use the 
geostyler-cli [2] to convert the QGIS style to the intermediary GeoStyler 
format and then use the GeoCat script [3] to convert this to a Mapfile. 
This is currently a fairly complex way do do things but we're looking at a 
Python wrapper to make this a simple one line command.

This would be very useful. Is that work also potentially identifying gaps
(or opportunities) with MapServer styling to make things easier? --Steve

Re: [MapServer-users] Qgis layer style file in mapfile

Hi Steve,

I've so far only experimented with simple styles, but attempting to convert 
more complex examples from QGIS styles should highlight what type of style 
properties are missing in MapServer.
