In the image [1] you can see a district (10e Arrondissement) in Paris and his surrounding. The area of interest is only the district, which I marked with a dotted line in gimp. Everything outside is rendered differently, here in gray scale. But also some kind of hatching or a colored transparent overlay would be thinkable. But only for the unmasked area (outside) - the masked area (inside) should use the original style. My current work flow is a) render the whole area with the gray style b) render the district (applied mask) with the colored style c) put b) on top of a) with image processing software I probably should mention that this isn't for a interactive map, just for one time rendering. My first try was slightly different, which raises a issue at the border: a) render the masked area b) render everything else (masked area is a whole) c) put a) and b) together When you look at the result [1] you see - doubled labels (blue A) here was the feature labeled in the both (masked and inverted mask) and they are overlapping - cut labels (blue B) The rendered label of the inverted mask is actually placed partially in the masked area I acknowledge these aren't issues at all when you stick to clipping the mask. Don't know why I'm attracting lots of special use cases, but then... this is what keeps my work with MapServer interesting. :) Thanks for listening, Lars [1] http://s1.directupload.net/images/140226/w2kjgxbm.png _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
