You’re a mad man! From: Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2017 9:58 AM To: Lime, Steve D (MNIT) <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: GRABBING some default CGI parameters in MapFile.
All, I’ve been wanting to build a HUD display sort of thing like this for quite a while, thankfully a project came along to let me do it. I think I’ll have a bunch more similar work come in after some other folks see this in operation. I’m to a point of sitting back and watching it be used now. Here is an image and screenshot of the final product. All Mapserver, and only Mapserver (oh, and PostGIS too.): https://www.dropbox.com/s/xwt2rmp1pvdktzc/rc_parcels_assessment.02d.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/x04lsjlpk24n9yk/Screen%20Shot%202017-09-12%20at%209.56.36%20AM.png?dl=0 The bottom boxes are actually Labels generated from a SQL ARRAY output from PostGIS. All relational work for the Parcel Edges to Street/Alley Centerlines also built entirely inside of PostGIS/Postgres. Worked really well as a matter of fact. The new Materialized view stuff in Postgres was invaluable. I still have some stuff to do with Condos, some of them are stacked on top of each other which presents some problems, but I think I have that figured out now. I can send the MAPFILE to anyone interested. I need to santize it first though. there were some definte gotchas in this mapfile, namely, the effects of the GEOTRANFORM on other mapfile things needs a bit more documentation I think. Thanks for the help on this. bobb P.S. I had a thought about stacking the Labels along the bottom, but justified to a corner, problem is, they are all variable width/height, if they are cached is there a way to squish them all into a corner along an edge somehow, either vertically or horizontally?
