Methods

OWSDispatch(req: OWSRequest) int[πηγή]

Processes and executes the passed OpenGIS Web Services request on the map. Returns MS_DONE (2) if there is no valid OWS request in the req object, MS_SUCCESS (0) if an OWS request was successfully processed and MS_FAILURE (1) if an OWS request was not successfully processed. OWS requests include WMS, WFS, WCS and SOS requests supported by MapServer. Results of a dispatched request are written to stdout and can be captured using the msIO services (i.e. mapscript.msIO_installStdoutToBuffer() and mapscript.msIO_getStdoutBufferString()

__init__(*args)[πηγή]

Create a new instance of mapObj. Note that the filename is optional.

appendOutputFormat(format: outputFormatObj) int[πηγή]

Attach format to the map’s output format list. Returns the updated number of output formats.

applyConfigOptions() void[πηγή]

Apply the defined configuration options set by setConfigOption()

applyDefaultSubstitutions() void[πηγή]

Apply any default values defined in a VALIDATION block used for runtime substitutions

Parse the SLD XML string sldxml and apply to map layers. Returns MS_SUCCESS or MS_FAILURE

applySLDURL(sld: char) int[πηγή]

Fetch SLD XML from the URL sldurl and apply to map layers. Returns MS_SUCCESS or MS_FAILURE

applySubstitutions(names: char) void[πηγή]

Pass in runtime substitution keys and values and apply them to the map. Note - this method is currently enabled for Python only. Typemaps are needed for other MapScript languages.

clone() mapObj[πηγή]

Returns a independent copy of the map, less any caches.

Σημείωση

In the Java module this method is named cloneMap.

convertToString() char[πηγή]

Saves the object to a string. Provides the inverse option for updateFromString.

draw() imageObj[πηγή]

Draw the map, processing layers according to their defined order and status. Return an imageObj.

Draw map’s label cache on image. Returns MS_SUCCESS or MS_FAILURE.

drawLegend(scale_independent: int = 0) imageObj[πηγή]

Draw map legend, returning an imageObj.

getLayerByName()[πηγή]
getLayerOrder() PyObject[πηγή]

Python MapScript only - returns the map layer order as a native sequence

getLayersDrawingOrder() intarray[πηγή]

Returns an array of layer indexes in drawing order. Note Unless the proper typemap is implemented for the module’s language a user is more likely to get back an unusable SWIG pointer to the integer array.

getNumSymbols() int[πηγή]

Return the number of symbols in map

getOutputFormat(i: int) outputFormatObj[πηγή]

Returns the output format at the specified i index from the output formats array or null if i is beyond the array bounds. The number of outpuFormats can be retrieved by calling mapObj.getNumoutputformats().

getOutputFormatByName(name: char) outputFormatObj[πηγή]

Return the output format corresponding to driver name imagetype or to format name imagetype. This works exactly the same as the IMAGETYPE directive in a mapfile, is case insensitive and allows an output format to be found either by driver (like “AGG/PNG”) or name (like “png”).

Return the index of the named symbol in the map’s symbolset.

Σημείωση

This method is poorly named and too indirect. It is preferable to use the getSymbolByName method of symbolSetObj, which really does return a symbolObj reference, or use the index method of symbolSetObj to get a symbol’s index number.
