Two tiled layers in a .map file do not show up.

[zamil.murji@…]

Always shows the first tiled layer and nothing else below it. Also does not 
show a tiled layer that follows a normal polygon shapefile. I know this for 
sure because I removed the tiled layer and replaced with corresponding DATA tag 
and both layers show up fine.

Here is my .map file:
NAME TEST1
EXTENT -130.635 24.396 -39.974 31.001
SYMBOLSET "c:\\mapfiles\newsym.sym"
#EXTENT 49 -110 60 -120
SIZE 900 900
SHAPEPATH "e:\\"

LAYER
  NAME "counties"
  TILEINDEX us_data/culture/countytileindex
  TILEITEM "LOCATION"
  STATUS default
  TYPE POLYGON
  MAXSCALE 29
  CLASS
   OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
  END
END    

LAYER
  NAME "cities"
  TILEINDEX us_data/culture/citiestileindex
  TILEITEM "LOCATION"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POLYGON
  MAXSCALE 29
  CLASS
   COLOR 0 0 0

  END
END
END

counties over top of cities

cities over top of counties

changed to DATA tag

IMPORTANT: Last known version of mapserv.exe where this .map file worked was 
3.6.3.

Could you post screen shots of with cities over counties and vice versa with the
layers drawn as polylines of different colors and no fills? It's hard to tell
what's up from the existing images and the mapfile. For example, the mapfile has
cities drawn as white polygons with black outlines based on the second
attachement I wouldn't expect to see any counties. Anyway, just the line work in
seperate colors would help.

Also, what's the corresponding DATA tag? Do you have untiled versions of each layer?

Cities and counties both on a map

[zamil.murji@…]

Hi Steve,

The corresponding data tag is in the comment for the last attachment (Cities 
and counties both on a map). You'll notice that their is some white space 
around the image because I'm only using one of the states in my DATA tag.

I don't have untiled shapefiles so to say. I have 50+ shapefiles, one for each 
state, and I used tile4ms to merge them into one tileindex.  

Sorry about all the emails. This is my first time using bugzilla.

Hi Steve,

I also tried switching the TYPE tag to LINE, but I got the same output (3 
attachments above). I also tried this process with a third tiled layer, it 
also doesn't display if it is the 2nd or 3rd layer in the .map file.

Ok, working on this one. I gotta create a test dataset first though.

I downloaded the demo data, and with basically the same mapfile got it to work, 
no problem. That doesn't mean there isn't a bug but it's not something big like 
tiling doesn't work. So for the moment I'm marking this one as invalid. We can 
always reopen or get more specific if need be...

Note that my tests were done with MapServer 4.0 beta 2 on Linux (RH7.3).

Zamil confirmed that all is well on Linux. So this is a windows only issue. I 
would've imagined confirmation of the error given the popularity of the Windows 
builds, but I've not heard a peep. I'm still leaning towards a data problem or 
an issue with the tile indexes themselves. I'll repopen and mark this one as 
something we need to look at for 4.1 (sooner if other folks have problems).

[dmorissette]

If it's windows-specific then perhaps Assefa could check this when he works on
4.1.  I'll add him to the CC.

Closing as invalid...
