I have been working with mapbuilder and have found it a very nice tool. I
would like to enhance the way I have it now with a couple of things that I
cannot seem to find I was wondering if you could help me with this.
What I am using mapbuilder for is to take around 13 spatial layers and 10
vectors and turn them into a dynamic map. I have already gotten the map
working with Ka-Map, but Ka-Map does not provide some additional
components that mapbuilder does. The working Ka-Map version can be found
at "http://na.unep.net/swera_ims/map/";. While making this conversion to
mapbuilder may be an option, I need to provide the users of the system the
same functionality that is already provided by Ka-Map. There are three
major portions that have yet to be worked out.
Problem 1 is that I need to be able to print the map as an image as seen
on the page when some "Print" button or widget is activated. Does
mapbuilder allow this or is there some way to program around it. If not I
was thinking of saving the wmc to disk, which mapbuilder says it provides,
with a dynamic name and making a config and html file on the fly to
produce just the map widget with some additional text and images also on
the html.
Problem 2 is that we have been using Ka-Map to tile and display the tiles
becuase some of the data sets are large and can take a long time to load.
I was wondering if Mapbuilder has a way to access the that file or
configuration the way that OL does. If not I have gotten mapbuilder to
pull in transparent maptiles from TileCache with the mapbuilder defined
resolutions. The problem with this is that for the levels of zoom that I
did not seed, I get pink blocks. I was wondering if there was a way to get
it to go to the tiles for certain resolutions and go to the map file for
others?
Problem 3 is that I have gotten a tree structure going with the layers and
vectors, but the layers that won't display till a lower resolution keep
showing up in that list. Is there anyway to hide the layers that won't be
displayed on the map for that resolution?
Thank you for taking the time to look at these questions and I look
forward to your response.
