11. Supported Styles

The following map images have been generated using a custom ArcPy script that uses the Bridge CLI to publish a number of MXD’s. The script uses ArcPy to generate an image for each layer in ArcMap and uses the WMS GetMap request to generate an image for MapServer and GeoServer. The script uses the Bridge managed workspace mode, so for every MXD published Bridge will create a new workspace in GeoServer.

RGB Raster

Raster with red, green and blue band. Bridge exports the rasters with the band sequence changed to the server. This way it is not required to style the layers at the server.

RGB stretch is not supported by Bridge, because the support for this is limited in GeoServer and MapServer.

The contrast can be enhanced in MapServer by applying the following to the layer element:

PROCESSING "SCALE=AUTO"

The contrast can be enhanced in GeoServer by setting the following in the SLD:

<ChannelSelection>

  <RedChannel>

    <SourceChannelName>1</SourceChannelName>

     <ContrastEnhancement>

        <GammaValue>2</GammaValue>

     </ContrastEnhancement>

  </RedChannel>
