Hi Jelmer,
Concering ZoomRectangle you said "I'll be working with more than one coord
system"
From that I get the following:
1. Either you mean that the coordinate system of the map can change
during the application
flow (alas you change your projection using
mapObj.SetProjection(...) (the most usual)
2. Or the map projection stays put and you want to input a rectangle
expressed in various
projections to use with ZoomRectangle
In both cases (where different coordinate systems are involved) you still
need a way to reproject
the input coordinates to the current map object projection. After you do
this a function like the
one i posted, can do the trick and convert to image coordinates (so you
can use ZoomRectangle)
As for the next problem you describe, I can't tell much because you use the
FullExtent variable for
which I can not know its contents (is it expressed in lat/long maybe i
don't know, if so you must
reproject lat/long to the map projection too). Possible a glimpse at
your mapfile would help.
Sorry if my post is not so useful to you but errors and misconceptions
using mapscript are very common.
Regards,
Jim
