Adding WMS Layers

WMS layers are layers obtained remotely from a WMS server. These can include dynamic data and quite rich data sets from NASA and other organisations. The following is an example of adding a WMS layer to the map file:

LAYER

	NAME "NASA Landsat WMS service"

	STATUS OFF

	TYPE RASTER

	GROUP "Background"

	CONNECTIONTYPE WMS

	CONNECTION "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?"

	PROJECTION

		"init=epsg:4326"

	END

	METADATA

		"Notes" "NASA Geospatial Interoperability Office.

		http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/"

		"wms_name" "global_mosaic"

		"wms_server_version" "1.1.1"

		"wms_srs" "EPSG:4326"

		"wms_format" "image/jpeg"

		"wms_style" "visual"

		"wms_width" "800"

		"wms_height" "400"

	END
