[mapserver-users] Indexing Shape files

[Hankley, Chip]

Armando -

When you're using a TILEINDEX, you don't need a DATA line... the TILEINDEX
line IS the data line. Here's an example -

LAYER
  NAME "LANDCOVER"
  MAXSCALE 500000
  MAXSCALE 500000
  STATUS OFF
  TILEINDEX "Raster\lc_tile"
  TILEITEM "Location"
  TYPE RASTER
  OFFSITE 0
END

In this case, TILEINDEX is the path (relative to the mapfile's SHAPEPATH) to
the indexing shapefile, and TILEITEM is the field name in the index
shapefile that points to the individual tile data sources (in this case
images).

HTH.
