Geography and MapServer
04 Nov 2009Can you use the new PostGIS GEOGRAPHY
type with MapServer? Yes! Just make sure your LAYER declares a geographic projection (e.g. "init=epsg:4326", or "proj=lonlat"
) so the correct coordinates are passed in. For simple DATA definitions(e.g. DATA "thegeog from thetable"
), that’s all you have to do. I haven’t tested out more complex DATA statements yet, but I am pretty sure they should work fine.
