Web Map Service (WMS) ===================== The **1.1.1** and **1.3.0** WMS standards implemented in QGIS Server provide a HTTP interface to request map or legend images generated from a QGIS project. A typical WMS request defines the QGIS project to use, the layers to render as well as the image format to generate. Basic support is also available for **Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD)**. Specifications: - `WMS 1.1.1 `_ - `WMS 1.3.0 `_ - `SLD 1.1.0 WMS profile `_ Standard requests provided by QGIS Server: .. csv-table:: :header: "Request", "Description" :widths: auto ":ref:`GetCapabilities `", "Returns XML metadata with information about the server" ":ref:`GetMap `", "Returns a map" ":ref:`GetFeatureInfo `", "Retrieves data (geometry and values) for a pixel location" ":ref:`GetLegendGraphics `", "Returns legend symbols" ":ref:`GetStyle(s) `", "Returns XML document with style description in SLD" ":ref:`DescribeLayer `", "Returns information about WFS and WCS availability respectively for vector and raster layers" Vendor requests provided by QGIS Server: .. csv-table:: :header: "Request", "Description" :widths: auto ":ref:`GetPrint `", "Returns a QGIS layout" ":ref:`GetProjectSettings `", "Returns specific information about QGIS Server" ":ref:`GetSchemaExtension `", "Returns XML metadata about optional extended capabilities" .. _wms_getcapabilities: GetCapabilities --------------- Standard parameters for the **GetCapabilities** request according to the OGC WMS 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 specifications: .. csv-table:: :header: "Parameter", "Required", "Description" :widths: auto ":ref:`SERVICE `", "Yes", "Name of the service (**WMS**)" ":ref:`REQUEST `", "Yes", "Name of the request (**GetCapabilities**)" ":ref:`VERSION `", "No", "Version of the service" The **GetCapabilities** request supports as well the following vendor parameters: .. csv-table:: :header: "Parameter", "Required", "Description" :widths: auto ":ref:`MAP `", "Yes", "QGIS project file" URL example: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgis_server?

SERVICE=WMS &VERSION=1.3.0 &REQUEST=GetMap &MAP=/home/qgis/projects/world.qgs &LAYERS=mylayer1,mylayer2,mylayer3 &STYLES=style1,default,style3 &OPACITIES=125,200,125 &CRS=EPSG:4326 &WIDTH=400 &HEIGHT=400 &FORMAT=image/png &TRANSPARENT=TRUE &DPI=300 &TILED=TRUE .. _wms_version: VERSION ^^^^^^^ This parameter allows to specify the version of the service to use. Available values for the ``VERSION`` parameter are: - ``1.1.1`` - ``1.3.0`` According to the version number, slight differences have to be expected as explained later for the next parameters: - ``CRS`` / ``SRS`` - ``BBOX`` .. _wms_layers: LAYERS ^^^^^^ This parameter allows to specify the layers to display on the map. Names have to be separated by a comma. In addition, QGIS Server introduced some options to select layers by: * a :ref:`short name ` * the layer id The project option allowing to select layers by their id is in :menuselection:`QGIS Server --> WMS` tab of the :menuselection:`Project --> Properties...` dialog. Check the :guilabel:`Use layer ids as names` checkbox to activate this option. .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &LAYERS=mylayerid1,mylayerid2 &... .. _wms_styles: STYLES ^^^^^^ This parameter can be used to specify a layer's style for the rendering step. Styles have to be separated by a comma. The name of the default style is ``default``. .. _wms_srs: SRS / CRS ^^^^^^^^^ This parameter allows to indicate the map output Spatial Reference System in WMS **1.1.1** and has to be formed like ``EPSG:XXXX``. Note that ``CRS`` is also supported if current version is **1.1.1**. For WMS **1.3.0**, ``CRS`` parameter is preferable but ``SRS`` is also supported. Note that if both ``CRS`` and ``SRS`` parameters are indicated in the request, then it's the current version indicated in ``VERSION`` parameter which is decisive. In the next case, the ``SRS`` parameter is kept whatever the ``VERSION`` parameter because ``CRS`` is not indicated: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.3.0 &SRS=EPSG:2854 &... In the next case, the ``SRS`` parameter is kept instead of ``CRS`` because of the ``VERSION`` parameter: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.1.1 &CRS=EPSG:4326 &SRS=EPSG:2854 &... In the next case, the ``CRS`` parameter is kept instead of ``SRS`` because of the ``VERSION`` parameter: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.3.0 &CRS=EPSG:4326 &SRS=EPSG:2854 &... .. _wms_bbox: BBOX ^^^^ This parameter allows to specify the map extent with units according to the current CRS. Coordinates have to be separated by a comma. The ``BBOX`` parameter is formed like ``min_a,min_b,max_a,max_b`` but ``a`` and ``b`` axis definition is different according to the current ``VERSION`` parameter: * in WMS **1.1.1**, the axis ordering is always east/north * in WMS **1.3.0**, the axis ordering depends on the CRS authority For example in case of ``EPSG:4326`` and WMS **1.1.1**, ``a`` is the longitude (east) and ``b`` the latitude (north), leading to a request like: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.1.1 &SRS=epsg:4326 &BBOX=-180,-90,180,90 &... But in case of WMS **1.3.0**, the axis ordering defined in the EPSG database is north/east so ``a`` is the latitude and ``b`` the longitude: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.3.0 &CRS=epsg:4326 &BBOX=-90,-180,90,180 &... .. _wms_width: WIDTH ^^^^^ This parameter allows to specify the width in pixels of the output image. .. _wms_height: HEIGHT ^^^^^^ This parameter allows to specify the height in pixels of the output image. .. _wms_getmap_format: FORMAT ^^^^^^ This parameter may be used to specify the format of map image. Available values are: * ``jpg`` * ``jpeg`` * ``image/jpeg`` * ``image/png`` * ``image/png; mode=1bit`` * ``image/png; mode=8bit`` * ``image/png; mode=16bit`` * ``application/dxf``: only layers that have read access in the WFS service are exported in the DXF format URL example: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0 &REQUEST=GetMap &FORMAT=application/dxf &LAYERS=Haltungen,Normschacht,Spezialbauwerke &CRS=EPSG%3A21781 &BBOX=696136.28844801,245797.12108743,696318.91114315,245939.25832905 &WIDTH=1042 &HEIGHT=811 &FORMAT_OPTIONS=MODE:SYMBOLLAYERSYMBOLOGY;SCALE:250 &FILE_NAME=plan.dxf .. _wms_transparent: TRANSPARENT ^^^^^^^^^^^ This boolean parameter can be used to specify the background transparency. Available values are (not case sensitive): - ``TRUE`` - ``FALSE`` However, this parameter is ignored if the format of the image indicated with ``FORMAT`` is different from PNG. .. _wms_bgcolor: BGCOLOR ^^^^^^^ This parameter allows to indicate a background color for the map image. However it cannot be combined with ``TRANSPARENT`` parameter in case of PNG images (transparency takes priority). The colour may be literal or in hexadecimal notation. URL example with the literal notation: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.3.0 &BGCOLOR=green &... URL example with the hexadecimal notation: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.3.0 &BGCOLOR=0x00FF00 &... .. _wms_dpi: DPI ^^^ This parameter can be used to specify the requested output resolution. .. _wms_imagequality: IMAGE_QUALITY ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter is only used for JPEG images. By default, the JPEG compression is ``-1``. You can change the default per QGIS project in the :menuselection:`OWS Server --> WMS capabilities` menu of the :menuselection:`Project --> Properties...` dialog. If you want to override it in a ``GetMap`` request you can do it using the ``IMAGE_QUALITY`` parameter. .. _wms_opacities: OPACITIES ^^^^^^^^^ Comma separated list of opacity values. Opacity can be set on layer or group level. Allowed values range from ``0`` (fully transparent) to ``255`` (fully opaque). URL example: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.3.0 &WIDTH=400 &HEIGHT=200 &CRS=EPSG:4326 &LAYERS=countries,places &BBOX=42,-6,52,15 &OPACITIES=255,0 .. figure:: ../img/wms_getmap_opacities.png :align: center To the left ``OPACITIES=255,0`` and to the right ``OPACITIES=255,255`` .. _wms_filter: FILTER ^^^^^^ A subset of layers can be selected with the ``FILTER`` parameter. The syntax is basically the same as for the QGIS subset string. However, there are some restrictions to avoid SQL injections into databases via QGIS Server. If a dangerous string is found in the parameter, QGIS Server will return the next error: .. code-block:: bash The filter string XXXXXXXXX has been rejected because of security reasons. Note: Text strings have to be enclosed in single or double quotes. A space between each word / special character is mandatory. Allowed Keywords and special characters are IS,NOT,NULL,AND,OR,IN,=,<,=<,>,>=,!=,',',(,),DMETAPHONE,SOUNDEX. Not allowed are semicolons in the filter expression. URL example: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &VERSION=1.3.0 &WIDTH=400 &HEIGHT=300 &CRS=EPSG:4326 &BBOX=41,-6,52,10 &LAYERS=countries_shapeburst,countries,places &FILTER=countries_shapeburst,countries:"name" = 'France';places: "name" = 'Paris' .. figure:: ../img/wms_getmap_filter.png :align: center Server response to a GetMap request with FILTER parameter In this example, the same filter ``"name" = 'France'`` is applied to layers ``countries`` and ``countries_shapeburst``, while the filter ``"name" = 'Paris'`` is only applied to ``places``. .. note:: It is possible to make attribute searches via GetFeatureInfo and omit the X/Y parameter if a FILTER is there. QGIS Server then returns info about the matching features and generates a combined bounding box in the XML output. .. _wms_selection: SELECTION ^^^^^^^^^ The ``SELECTION`` parameter can highlight features from one or more layers. Vector features can be selected by passing comma separated lists with feature ids. .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &LAYERS=mylayer1,mylayer2 &SELECTION=mylayer1:3,6,9;mylayer2:1,5,6 &... The following image presents the response from a GetMap request using the ``SELECTION`` option e.g. ``http://myserver.com/...&SELECTION=countries:171,65``. As those features id's correspond in the source dataset to **France** and **Romania** they're highlighted in yellow. .. _figure_server_selection: .. figure:: ../img/server_selection_parameter.png :align: center Server response to a GetMap request with SELECTION parameter .. _wms_formatoptions: FORMAT-OPTIONS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter can be used to specify options for the selected format. Only for ``FORMAT=application/dxf``. A list of key:value pairs separated by semicolon: * SCALE: to be used for symbology rules, filters and styles (not actual scaling of the data - data remains in the original scale). * MODE: corresponds to the export options offered in the QGIS Desktop DXF export dialog. Possible values are ``NOSYMBOLOGY``, ``FEATURESYMBOLOGY`` and ``SYMBOLLAYERSYMBOLOGY``. * LAYERSATTRIBUTES: specify a field that contains values for DXF layer names - if not specified, the original QGIS layer names are used. * USE_TITLE_AS_LAYERNAME: if enabled, the title of the layer will be used as layer name. * CODEC: specify a codec to be used for encoding. Default is ``ISO-8859-1`` check the QGIS desktop DXF export dialog for valid values. * NO_MTEXT: Use TEXT instead of MTEXT for labels. * FORCE_2D: Force 2D output. This is required for polyline width. .. _wms_tiled: TILED ^^^^^ For performance reasons, QGIS Server can be used in tiled mode. In this mode, the client requests several small fixed size tiles, and assembles them to form the whole map. Doing this, symbols at or near the boundary between two tiles may appeared cut, because they are only present in one of the tile. Set the ``TILED`` parameter to ``TRUE`` to tell QGIS Server to work in *tiled* mode, and to apply the *Tile buffer* configured in the QGIS project (see :ref:`Creatingwmsfromproject`). When ``TILED`` is ``TRUE`` and when a non-zero Tile buffer is configured in the QGIS project, features outside the tile extent are drawn to avoid cut symbols at tile boundaries. ``TILED`` defaults to ``FALSE``. .. _wms_getfeatureinfo: GetFeatureInfo -------------- Standard parameters for the **GetFeatureInfo** request according to the OGC WMS 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 specifications: .. csv-table:: :header: "Parameter", "Required", "Description" :widths: auto ":ref:`SERVICE `", "Yes", "Name of the service (**WMS**)" ":ref:`REQUEST `", "Yes", "Name of the request (**GetFeatureInfo**)" ":ref:`VERSION `", "No", "Version of the service" ":ref:`QUERY_LAYERS `", "Yes", "Layers to query" ":ref:`LAYERS `", "Yes", "Layers to display (identical to `QUERY_LAYERS`)" ":ref:`STYLES `", "No", "Layers' style" ":ref:`SRS / CRS `", "Yes", "Coordinate reference system" ":ref:`BBOX `", "No", "Map extent" ":ref:`WIDTH `", "Yes", "Width of the image in pixels" ":ref:`HEIGHT `", "Yes", "Height of the image in pixels" ":ref:`TRANSPARENT `", "No", "Transparent background" ":ref:`INFO_FORMAT `", "No", "Output format" ":ref:`FEATURE_COUNT `", "No", "Maximum number of features to return" ":ref:`I `", "No", "Pixel column of the point to query" ":ref:`X `", "No", "Same as `I` parameter, but in WMS 1.1.1" ":ref:`J `", "No", "Pixel row of the point to query" ":ref:`Y `", "No", "Same as `J` parameter, but in WMS 1.1.1" "WMS_PRECISION", "No", "The precision (number of digits) to be used when returning geometry (see :ref:`how to add geometry to feature response `). The default value is ``-1`` meaning that the precision defined in the project is used." In addition to the standard ones, QGIS Server supports the following extra parameters: .. csv-table:: :header: "Parameter", "Required", "Description" :widths: auto ":ref:`MAP `", "Yes", "QGIS project file" ":ref:`FILTER `", "No", "Subset of features" ":ref:`FI_POINT_TOLERANCE `", "No", "Tolerance in pixels for point layers" ":ref:`FI_LINE_TOLERANCE `", "No", "Tolerance in pixels for line layers" ":ref:`FI_POLYGON_TOLERANCE `", "No", "Tolerance in pixels for polygon layers" ":ref:`FILTER_GEOM `", "No", "Geometry filtering" ":ref:`WITH_MAPTIP `", "No", "Add map tips to the output" ":ref:`WITH_GEOMETRY `", "No", "Add geometry to the output" URL example: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver?

In this way, if you want to configure a specific map, you have to use ``mapX:`` parameters where ``X`` is a positive number that you can retrieve thanks to the **GetProjectSettings** request. For example: .. code-block:: xml ... ... .. _wms_template: TEMPLATE ^^^^^^^^ This parameter can be used to specify the name of a layout template to use for printing. .. _wms_getprint_format: FORMAT ^^^^^^ This parameter specifies the format of map image. Available values are: - ``png`` (default value) - ``image/png`` - ``jpg`` - ``jpeg`` - ``image/jpeg`` - ``svg`` - ``image/svg`` - ``image/svg+xml`` - ``pdf`` - ``application/pdf`` If the ``FORMAT`` parameter is different from one of these values, then an exception is returned. .. _wms_atlaspk: ATLAS_PK ^^^^^^^^ This parameter allows activation of Atlas rendering by indicating which features we want to print. In order to retrieve an atlas with all features, the ``*`` symbol may be used (according to the maximum number of features allowed in the project configuration). When ``FORMAT`` is ``pdf``, a single PDF document combining the feature pages is returned. For all other formats, a single page is returned. .. _wms_mapextent: mapX:EXTENT ^^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter specifies the extent for a layout map item as xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax. .. _wms_maprotation: mapX:ROTATION ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter specifies the map rotation in degrees. .. _wms_mapgridintervalx: mapX:GRID_INTERVAL_X ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter specifies the grid line density in the X direction. .. _wms_mapgridintervaly: mapX:GRID_INTERVAL_Y ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter specifies the grid line density in the Y direction. .. _wms_mapscale: mapX:SCALE ^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter specifies the map scale for a layout map item. This is useful to ensure scale based visibility of layers and labels even if client and server may have different algorithms to calculate the scale denominator. .. _wms_maplayers: mapX:LAYERS ^^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter specifies the layers for a layout map item. See :ref:`GetMap Layers ` for more information on this parameter. .. _wms_mapstyles: mapX:STYLES ^^^^^^^^^^^ This parameter specifies the layers' styles defined in a specific layout map item. See :ref:`GetMap Styles ` for more information on this parameter. .. _wms_getprojectsettings: GetProjectSettings ------------------ This request type works similar to :ref:`GetCapabilities `, but it is more specific to QGIS Server and allows a client to read additional information which are not available in the :ref:`GetCapabilities ` output: * initial visibility of layers * information about vector attributes and their edit types * information about layer order and drawing order * list of layers published in WFS * show if a group in the layer tree is :ref:`mutually exclusive ` The **GetProjectSettings** request supports the following parameters: .. csv-table:: :header: "Parameter", "Required", "Description" :widths: auto ":ref:`MAP `", "Yes", "QGIS project file" ":ref:`SERVICE `", "Yes", "Name of the service (**WMS**)" ":ref:`REQUEST `", "Yes", "Name of the request (**GetProjectSettings**)" .. _wms_getschemaextension: GetSchemaExtension ------------------ The **GetSchemaExtension** request allows to retrieve optional extended capabilities and operations of the WMS service such as implemented by QGIS Server. .. csv-table:: :header: "Parameter", "Required", "Description" :widths: auto ":ref:`MAP `", "Yes", "QGIS project file" ":ref:`SERVICE `", "Yes", "Name of the service (**WMS**)" ":ref:`REQUEST `", "Yes", "Name of the request (**GetSchemaExtension**)" URL example: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetSchemaExtension The XML document looks like: .. code-block:: xml .. _wms_external: External WMS layers ------------------- QGIS Server allows including layers from external WMS servers in WMS :ref:`GetMap ` and WMS :ref:`GetPrint ` requests. This is especially useful if a web client uses an external background layer in the web map. For performance reasons, such layers should be directly requested by the web client (not cascaded via QGIS server). For printing however, these layers should be cascaded via QGIS server in order to appear in the printed map. External layers can be added to the LAYERS parameter as EXTERNAL_WMS:. The parameters for the external WMS layers (e.g. url, format, dpiMode, crs, layers, styles) can later be given as service parameters :. In a :ref:`GetMap ` request, this might look like this: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetMap &LAYERS=EXTERNAL_WMS:basemap,layer1,layer2 &STYLES=,, &basemap:url=http://externalserver.com/wms.fcgi &basemap:format=image/jpeg &basemap:dpiMode=7 &basemap:crs=EPSG:2056 &basemap:layers=orthofoto &basemap:styles=default Similarly, external layers can be used in :ref:`GetPrint ` requests: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &REQUEST=GetPrint &TEMPLATE=A4 &map0:layers=EXTERNAL_WMS:basemap,layer1,layer2 &map0:EXTENT= &basemap:url=http://externalserver.com/wms.fcgi &basemap:format=image/jpeg &basemap:dpiMode=7 &basemap:crs=EPSG:2056 &basemap:layers=orthofoto &basemap:styles=default .. _wms_redlining: Redlining --------- This feature is available and can be used with :ref:`GetMap ` and :ref:`GetPrint ` requests. The redlining feature can be used to pass geometries and labels in the request which are overlapped by the server over the standard returned image (map). This permits the user to put emphasis or maybe add some comments (labels) to some areas, locations etc. that are not in the standard map. The :ref:`GetMap ` request is in the format: .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &VERSION=1.3.0 &REQUEST=GetMap &HIGHLIGHT_GEOM=POLYGON((590000 5647000, 590000 6110620, 2500000 6110620, 2500000 5647000, 590000 5647000)) &HIGHLIGHT_SYMBOL=HighlightSymbol%23ea117311.6 &HIGHLIGHT_LABELSTRING=Write label here &HIGHLIGHT_LABELSIZE=16 &HIGHLIGHT_LABELCOLOR=%23000000 &HIGHLIGHT_LABELBUFFERCOLOR=%23FFFFFF &HIGHLIGHT_LABELBUFFERSIZE=1.5 The :ref:`GetPrint ` equivalent is in the format (note that ``mapX:`` parameter is added to tell which map has redlining): .. code-block:: bash http://localhost/qgisserver? SERVICE=WMS &VERSION=1.3.0 &REQUEST=GetPrint &map0:HIGHLIGHT_GEOM=POLYGON((590000 5647000, 590000 6110620, 2500000 6110620, 2500000 5647000, 590000 5647000)) &map0:HIGHLIGHT_SYMBOL=HighlightSymbol%23ea117311.6 &map0:HIGHLIGHT_LABELSTRING=Write label here &map0:HIGHLIGHT_LABELSIZE=16 &map0:HIGHLIGHT_LABELCOLOR=%23000000 &map0:HIGHLIGHT_LABELBUFFERCOLOR=%23FFFFFF &map0:HIGHLIGHT_LABELBUFFERSIZE=1.5 Here is the image outputed by the above request in which a polygon and a label are drawn on top of the normal map: .. _figure_server_redlining: .. figure:: ../img/server_redlining.png :align: center Server response to a GetMap request with redlining parameters You can see there are several parameters in this request: * **HIGHLIGHT_GEOM**: You can add POINT, MULTILINESTRING, POLYGON etc. It supports multipart geometries. Here is an example: ``HIGHLIGHT_GEOM=MULTILINESTRING((0 0, 0 1, 1 1))``. The coordinates should be in the CRS of the GetMap/GetPrint request. * **HIGHLIGHT_SYMBOL**: This controls how the geometry is outlined and you can change the stroke width, color and opacity. * **HIGHLIGHT_LABELSTRING**: You can pass your labeling text to this parameter. * **HIGHLIGHT_LABELSIZE**: This parameter controls the size of the label. * **HIGHLIGHT_LABELFONT**: This parameter controls the font of the label (e.g. Arial) * **HIGHLIGHT_LABELCOLOR**: This parameter controls the label color. * **HIGHLIGHT_LABELBUFFERCOLOR**: This parameter controls the label buffer color. * **HIGHLIGHT_LABELBUFFERSIZE**: This parameter controls the label buffer size.
