Ted, If you go the tile route, each image request to MapServer is independent, so it will get a copyright notice.
You can go use an OpenLayers Layer.WMS layer with singleTile set to True and a ratio of 1 to get one tile that only fills the viewport. (This is similar to the deprecated OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.Untiled). http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/examples/notile.html The only issue with ratio of 1 is that you see the white background when you pan. I think that the best solution would be to add an attribution layer using OpenLayers. http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/attribution.html David. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Basques Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 7:20 PM To: Ted Spradley; [email protected] Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Repeating annotation, using LABEL_NO_CLIP=1 with Open Layers It probably still there, only out of frame if you are using OpenLayers, which I believe grabs a tile larger than the current view for panning by the user. Other than adding another layer or restricting the tiles retrieved to the same size as the current view port, I don't know of a way of getting a copyright into view. There may be some OpenLayers settings that aloow for a center tile that is as large as the current view with tiles arouand the edges, but this may be a performance hit. bobb On 1/26/2010 5:51 PM, Ted Spradley wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I recently added a copyright notice via an annotation layer.
