Hi, I would say that if it is not possible at the moment to make a logical WMS layer that automatically swithes between several external overviews and the original imagery through tileindex according to scale settings, then it would be very useful to have. However, it feels so obvious demand that I would be a bit surprised if there is not such an option. Anyway, if it is missing then I will give +1 for feature request.
There seems to be an option called wms_layer_group in the layer metadata section of mapfile, but I must admid that I do not understand what it stands for. -Jukka Rahkonen- > -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- > Lähettäjä: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Puolesta > Eichner, Andreas - SID-NLK > Lähetetty: 6. maaliskuuta 2008 9:26 > Vastaanottaja: [email protected] > Aihe: [mapserver-users] Re: Hiding overviews > > > Hello Jacob, > > thanks for your try but this didn't help, sorry.
