Richard is looking into this and has made the same observation. He's
on the job and says he'll have it fixed by friday. Thanks Rich.

uDIG requests a 3x3 image. And then it requests the topleft pixel
(X=1, Y=1).
I don't know the internals ofcourse, but should it not request the
center pixel (X=2, Y=2)? At least that gives the correct results
for my testcase :-)
Why else would it request 3x3, it might as well request 1x1 or 2x2
if it is using the topleft pixel.

In that case we will need to ask Richard to implement a different
plugin for the InfoTool for each renderer he creates. Not fun but
possible. I did think he ended up making a 2x2 reference image and
selecting the first pixel (after having a few WMS fail on a 1x1
image reference image.

I think the problem with this approach, as now demonstrated, is
that it doesn't work :) It might take something a little more
"arbitrary", like a pretend image of "about 300 pixels in size"
with the click point in the "middle of that image" to get a
correct-seeming answer. Sending back a one-pixel map with a
click "on the pixel" is begging to hit corner cases in the WMS
server side code.

Ah, interesting question ... because of a difference between
what we display and what we requested from the WMS.
- often we will have to make several requests and tile content
onto the screen in WMS happy chunks,
- or we will need to make slightly larger requests and resample
them onto the screen (as mentioned previously).
It was just easier to back project a pixel and use it to make a
request in the correct location once, rather then trying to
reverse several rendering process es to exactly match the
original request (aka the approach we used for uDig 0.8).

Hi Jody,
why did you end up changing the BBOX and width/height client-
side? Why not leave it up to the WMS server like Gaia does?
Best regards,
Bart

Indeed, we eventually figured out that WMS getInfo is
considered a check in the center of a single pixel.
Thinking,
Richard for a while we forced the renderers to leave us a hook
so we could make our info request, is there any way we can ask
the WMS renderers to leave some hints on the layer blackboard
about the image rendered? The same plugin making the rendering
contribution can provide the hint ...

Hi Jody,
the projections I am trying are both supported by the WMS.
Unfortunately I have no Java hosting, but it's a simple
shapefile which can be set up with Geoserver. I am using 1.4.
The shapefile can be found here (200 Kb, native projection
EPSG:28992, uDIG set to RD / New projection):
http://www.osgis.nl/lausanne/nl-prov.zip
An example request which uDIG is fyring off is (this request
is really strange since the BBOX is not the BBOX of the map
image shown anymore! and X and Y are always 1):
/geoserver/wms?Y=1&X=1&SERVICE=WMS&INFO_FORMAT=text/
html&LAYERS=ogctestbed:nl-prov&FORMAT=image/
png&HEIGHT=3&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&WIDTH=3&BBOX=188907.50415179
788,391802.21024004533,192453.4125990071,395348.1186872545&SRS=E
PSG:28992&QUERY_LAYERS=ogctestbed%3Anl-prov&VERSION=1.1.1
HTTP/1.1" 200 447
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Bart

Good question, it makes a direct call when able to make a
direct rendering of the WMS image (ie udig is using a
coordinate system supported by the WMS). In rare cases it
may have to resample the image onto the screen (making up
for lack of WMS projections), we could check that we back
project the query into the coordinate space of the original
image... but as I recall I wrote this one and went to some
trouble to get it right.
Can you point us at a service illustrating the problem,
perhaps in a jira report.
Jody
Hi list,
how accurate is uDIG with respect to GetFeatureInfo?
I have tried it against 2 WMS's, Geoserver and Deegree, and
at the borders of provinces, a lot of times the wrong
element is returned. Ofcourse this could also be due to the
WMS's.
So I checked Gaia, and using Gaia it is very accurate for
Geoserver, so I am assuming it is a uDIG problem.
Any input appreciated.
Best regards,
Bart
