I am writing an article to discuss the use of geospatial technologies
ineducation. I have used ArcIMS extensively and want to discuss MapServer
aswell. However, my expertise in programming and setting up server
applicationsis pretty limited. Actually FORTRAN 97 in 1998!. So I find myself
in
I've figured out my issues through trial and error (and mode=map). I'm
now wondering if there's an easy way to get the scale legend to display
the SCALEDENOM directly, rather than having to guess and/or convert
units? That would be really useful.
Thanks,
chris
I'm not sure that there is something built in for MapServer for this, but I do
know that we built this capability into GeoMoose, which takes the pixel sizes
into account and does the scaling on the fly at the client for any view size.
Just click in the Scale window at the bottom right of this
I'm just starting to play with query mode and find it very useful. I have an interaction style in
mind that would let me select and highlight several (possibly connected) links in a layer in a
fairly interactive style (more like one would do with ArcGIS, I guess). I'm pretty sure that I won't
You'd be surprised with what you can do with the CGI backend. It's certainly
possible, with the right
web client (e.g. something like GeoMoose or OpenLayers) to craft queries
against the CGI to select
one or many features from one or many layers using a point, box or arbitrary
geometry. Perhaps
Sure. The basic use case is:
User navigates to a particular, known, lat/lon as starting point; this can be by entering the known
lat/lon values, or by navigation around cities.
User then selects one or more links and can inspect attributes associated with those links - in
particular, link_id
Hi
We use the back end CGI extensively and it is extremely fast. It is simply
a case of being able to define what type of constraint you want against each
layer (tolerance etc) - I'm normally surprised if mapserver takes more than
a second or two to query up to 20-30 individual layers...
Hope
I've been using the ogr2ogr kml exporter to build some nightly conversions
of shape data. I'm wondering if there's a way to include symbolization
here...something that accepts a mapfile and a layername (or just a
mapfile, or whatever) and exports kml.
Alternatively, I've used the ArcObjects 9.3
Josh, you can use MapServer templates to do this sort of thing. With this
approach
you can control most aspects of the output file because you have to write the
basics. MapServer then adds feature specific things like geometries and
attributes
based on your template. You can run this nightly
Thank you for attention,
I checked my data source and since it was a polygon layer I generated
centroids out of them and
now it works.
Weird I did'nt noticed that before :S
