Rép. : [ms4w-users] WMS format question

[SIMON MERCIER]

Hi michael  
ArcGIS always make the WMS GetMap request in png image format... I
think theres no workaround in arcgis...! and mapserver surpport this
output format by default ..but in a 8-bit format...

OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME png
  DRIVER "GD/PNG"
  MIMETYPE "image/png"
  IMAGEMODE PC256  # -- 8-bit
  EXTENSION "png"
END

so... maybe you can try to overwrite this format with 2 OUTPUTFORMAT in
your mapfile ...!
...
OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME png
  DRIVER "GD/PNG"
  MIMETYPE "image/png"
  IMAGEMODE RGB  # --> 24-bit or png24 or RGBA for transparency use ...

  EXTENSION "png"
END
#and
OUTPUTFORMAT
  NAME jpeg
  DRIVER "GD/JPEG"
  IMAGEMODE RGB
  EXTENSION "jpeg"
  FORMATOPTION "QUALITY=75,PROGRESSIVE=TRUE"
END
...


OR ... you can try to add this in your orthos image layer ... but not
sure
PROCESSING "DITHER=YES"

more info look the raster data access page of f.wamerdam 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/raster_data 
 ..good luck

Greetings,

I am a newbie to MapServer and WMS, but an old ESRI hand.  I have
MapServer (MS4W) running with ka-Map on a Windows XP PC.  I have
created
a simple MapServer .map file which works fine in ka-Map.  Since it is
based on raster data (MrSID file which is 24-bit NAIP 2007 orthophoto
mosaic), I set the output format to JPEG.  This works fine in ka-Map
and
looks the way I want it.  However, when I add this WMS to ArcMap, it
appears to make 8-bit files.

I can see in my temp folders that indeed, the ka-Map output is JPEG
like
I want, but the ArcMap output is PNG.  The JPEGs are nice 24-bit
images
and the PNGs 8-bit garbage.

Any suggestions?  My .map file is below.  Looking at web resources, it
seems like I need a "wms_format" "img/jpeg" somewhere, but after many
permutations of those parameters in my map file, I still can't seem to
get jpegs in ArcGIS, only PNGs.
