Jess, This might depend a little bit on what interface you are using to display the map. If you are using templates, you have access to the Map Geometry information, check out :
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/template.html#template I think you can access similar information using OpenLayers. If not, do you specify the IMGEXT of your map in your URL? Could you use this information? cheers Ben On 01/05/2012, at 12:00 AM, "Jessica Clarke" <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to find out the geographic coordinates of an output map. > Please correct me if there is an easier way, but I have added the GDAL/GTIFF > output format to my mapfile, and I am calling it with ...&qformat=GTiff&... > in my URL so that it selects that instead of the png output format (which is > already in use by a large number of people). > > What I want to do now, is produce a report that gives the top-left coordinate > of the map. > Is there a way to extract this information and produce a report? > > My thought process at the moment: > Include another outputformat which is text so my URL would be > ...&qformat=GTiff+report&... > But I'm not sure how to do that exactly, or how to extract the coordinates. > > I have run GDAL info in cmd, so I'm aware of the data that is contained. > > Any advice would be appreciated.
