[GRASS-dev] geotiff to wms

All,
Is there any way to show GRASS GIS raster data as a wms layer
anything like r.out.wms ?
i want to visualize data from GRASS GIS on openlayers. openlayers doesnt support raster maps. So one solution is to convert geotiff or raster data to wms layer

if GRASS GIS raster can be converted to WMS. Please let me know how to show geotiff as WMS Layer

A fast, maybe non optimal solution can be something like :

  • read raster data from a grass location/maopset and generate VRT data from them ()so you can change at any time bouncy-box and resolution
  • generate a mapserver mapfile for each VRT raster layer
  • serve the map file as wms using map server

the VRT and map file creation can be generated on the fly, based on used request.

Make sense ?

Massimo.

Hi,

There is a script r.out.geoserver to export raster layer (with colour table) to GeoServer. If you have running copy of GeoServer with WMS service then you can obtain access to the data using WMS and OpenLayers interface. This script was tested (and mainly used) under linux.
