[mapserver-users] Masking labels

2010-03-12 Thread windfreak
Hello, I have made a mapserver image (see the example). This image consists of 2 layers. The top layers works as a mask over the bottom layer so I only see the bottom layer where I want it to see. Unfortunately, the labels of the bottom layer aren't masked. Can somebody tell me how to do that in

Hi, In a surveillance application I am creating (DraconesPH), I build new maps by dynamically adding features on static layers (for instance, convex hull polygons computed with PostGIS, illustrating the results of a cluster detection algorithm). Someone asked me recently if there was a way to

This isn't a built-in feature... If the masking layer has no labels associated with it then you can try setting a parameter called POSTLABELCACHE to TRUE. That will draw the layer in question after the labels have been placed. However that will result in partially obscured labels. Your best

I don't see anything obvious. You can test at the command-line with the CGI (shp2img won't work). Syntax is like so: mapserv -nh QUERY_STRING=map=/srv/www/htdocs/mapdata/catch.mapspp=TAR The -nh switch suppresses the HTTP headers which helps if you're creating an image. Steve -Original

Christian, From what you describe (and I'm not sure I understand it 100%), I think you are simply talking about a Listener service for your surveillance process, similar to a GPS listener. If that's the case, then I would simply set up a database table in POSTGIS and feed it records (CML or
