RE: [mapserver-users] WMS GetFeatureInfo beyond scale

Hi David, hi list, thank you very much for the reply. I already use scale-dependent layers. That's why I believe I can't organize my data as scale-dependent classes within one layer instead of as various separate layers in a group . But I'm not sure - so please have a look at my data

Thanks for the help Benoît, but the project you sent me doesn't seem to be able to generate tiles from map files. It seems to be able to generate tiles from other images. Maybe I'm missing something Benoît Andrieu wrote: Very quick answer, some could add comments ! ^^ 1.

If you don't need the placing of points to be a web-based application, you might want to try either qgis or udig. Both will allow you to create GIS data that you can then use in mapserver to display. If you need it to be a web-based application, then your best bet is to use OpenLayers.

Nina, I guess that your data was more complex than I originally assumed. Would it be possible to create one layer with classes that incorporated both the scale and magnitude? Something like: LAYER CLASS # low-res, low magnitude MAXSCALEDENOM 1000 MINSCALEDENOM
