[Geoserver-users] SLD references

Hi folks,

just wondering if there are any good SLD tutorials/references that people use. Right now I’m using scattered examples and the XSD. but just wondering if people knew of very good online documentation (or books) of writing SLD’s.

thanks

I am working on an SLD Cook Book, a collection of "recipes" for simple styles. I haven't had any time recently to work more on it, although a coworker is helping me now, and we have most of the content locally. Will be here when completed:

http://docs.geoserver.org/1.7.x/user/styling/sld-cookbook/index.html

In the meantime, you could always read the not-completely-painful SLD spec from the OGC.

Thank you so much.

George, currently I am using uDig to look at what properties my shapefiles have ( I am using Tiger shapefiles ). I am attempting to write SLD’s for the 2008 Tiger shapefiles to make them look like:

http://sigma.openplans.org/

I looked at this reference:

http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Geoserver+and+Google+SLDs

But the SLD’s in the tutorial don’t work with 2008 Tiger shapefiles at all it seems. For example:

gen_full

“gen_full” doesn’t exist at all in the 2008 lines shapefiles.

Another thing is that these SLD’s use:

ogc:PropertyIsNull
ogc:PropertyNamestatehighway</ogc:PropertyName>
</ogc:PropertyIsNull>

To figure out which lines are state highways, but when I look at the shapefiles it seems that the only way to get state highways is to look at the MTFCC ( with a value of S1100 ).

Was that tutorial written for completely modified tiger shapefiles? It mentions

" but I wanted to build something more general that could be used for (mostly) out of the box Tiger data".

However this does not seem to be the case at all.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

You could work through the second half of lecture 5 of my web mapping
course (http://www.e-education.psu.edu/geog585/l5_p4.html).
