I'd invite interested parties to look at the RFC and
comment back with possible additional use cases, to see how well the
prescribed mapfile syntax for this supports those uses.
Hi Robert,
Here
I'm looking at implementing RFC 74 Includes from non-file connections, i.e.,
using a database query to bring in a section of mapfile, as an alternative to
the INCLUDE filename that's in there already.
Some interesting and powerful capabilities hinted at in the RFC, such as,
A common use case
Eric,
Several years ago I did some experimental
work with SOAP and REST inside the mapserv
engine. The archives may contain a few old
messages about the details, but what I was doing
was to consume (now defunct) ESRI ArcWeb
Services map images as raster backdrops for
added mapserver vector
Are there definitive statements somewhere in the mapserver/mapscript
documentation on whether/how multiple labels, with their own string
content, color, font, placement, etc., can ALL be simultaneously displayed
on each placed feature within a layer? I've seen some hints that this can
be
Bob,
Without knowing more details of your app environment, I'd approach as follows:
Have your client-side code collect the user's address entry and include it as
an
arg to your php/mapscript program (which will return a map image). Have the
php encode the user's address into the ArcGIS
You're basically describing generalization here. I don't think mapscript has
facilities for this, but you may be able to perform your own generalization on
your shape objects. Try a google on Douglas-Peucker algorithm and see what
you find. In some cases I think people simplify their
In other words, you want to have Mapserver consume Mappoint and pass along the
images along with Mapserver's own layers to a client app?
Mappoint is SOAP-based? If so, what I'm doing with ESRI ArcWeb Services SOAP
may be similar enough to what you're trying to do to be of interest.
