Alexandre,

Try this as a hack and see if it helps.
Create a dummy LAYER like:

LAYER
  NAME "pixel"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TYPE POINT
  TRANSFORM OFF
  FEATURE
    POINTS 0 0 END
  END
  CLASS
    COLOR <backgroundcolor>
  END
END

and make it your first layer. This will draw a one pixel dot in the upper left corner of the image in background color, but it might fake out mapserver if you have it some funny corner case.

Also can you reproduce this with a mapfile with one layer like the above, but with POINTS -2 -2 END so that it is drawn off the image? THen post you that makefile and we can try it.

What version of mapserver?

Otherwise if that doesn't work, maybe someone has other ideas.

Stephen,

The MAP imagecolor isn't black and to put it at first position in my palette file but that didn't help.

Thanks for your help,

Alexandre

Another thought on this is the because you are asking for a transparent image, the IMAGECOLOR tag is usually transparent and I have seen that come up as black in some cases.

Alexandre,

Do you have IMAGECOLOR "#000000" set at the MAP level? Also I would put the background color as the first color in the mypalette.txt file and see if that helps.

Hi,

== problem ==

I'm pretty sure I saw this problem on the list somewhere, but I couldn't find the actual thread so here it is : while using agg & palette option, when there's no data to draw, instead of having the backgroundcolor drawn it's all black instead.
 How can I go around this problem ?


== my actual need ==

I want to produce smaller images. Currently, my getMap renders a 66K png image. With the palette, it's down to 17K but with a black background.


== ouputformat definition ==

   OUTPUTFORMAT
               NAME aggpng24
               DRIVER AGG/PNG
               MIMETYPE "image/png"
               IMAGEMODE RGB
               EXTENSION "png"
               FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
               FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=ON"
               FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/my/path/mypalette.txt"
               TRANSPARENT ON
               FORMATOPTION "TRANSPARENT=ON"
   END
