When I try and save the resource I get: Spatial context extent appears to be invalid (or Default).

The XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

OSGeo.Gdal.3.4 Default This coordinate system has been overridden. LOCAL_CS["XY-MT",LOCAL_DATUM["X-Y",10000],UNIT["Meter", 1],AXIS["X",EAST],AXIS["Y",NORTH]] LOCAL_CS["XY-MT",LOCAL_DATUM["X-Y",10000],UNIT["Meter", 1],AXIS["X",EAST],AXIS["Y",NORTH]] Dynamic -10000000 -10000000 10000000 10000000 0.001 0.001

These sids are 205mb a piece and theirs 53 of them (sat images). I decoded them to geotiff and they came out 2+gig ea.

What do I need to do to get these to display in MG? Whats the smartest method to get them web ready?

  • How do you tell if your sids are G3 or G2?

  • Grab the MrSID GeoInfo tool from here: lizardtech.com/downloads/tools.php - it will tell you if it's MG2 or MG3 encoding.

I'm guessing you're authoring this through Maestro right?

I've gotten this error too. Here's how i fixed it:

I dont remember why, but Gdal 1.6 didn't do it for me, i had to upgrade to the latest stable version of 1.8 (may work with 1.7, but why use older one?). You can probably compile this yourself or get FWTools, which may have the latest version of Gdal.

Then after you've loaded it the mrsid file (i do it from alias directory in mapguide) from Maestro:

  • click the “Edit configuration document” button on the bottom right,
  • scroll to the bottom of the xml document and find the tags MinX MinY MaxX MaxY. You would probably see the messed up extents (something like 1000000)
  • Enter the actual extents of the sid file (you can find this with any other tool like gdalinfo, arcview, and im sure anything from lizardtech)
  • Save that and you should be done

Let me know how it goes. This worked for me... Good luck!

  • yea, i had to do that with each of my sid layer.. if they're all the same extent, copy and paste will be your friend. of course, make sure this solution actually works for one of the sid layers first before you fix them all i guess. oh, and my images are mg3 too.

  • Also in arcView should I use the Display extent or the layer extent?
