A quick search of the list on transparency would probably get you a good answer.
Take a look at TRANSPARENCY here: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer Remember that TRANSPARENCY actually acts like you might expect a term called OPACITY to work. In other words TRANSPARENCY 10 is quite see-through and TRANSPARENCY 90 is not very see-through. Of course, pick TRANSPARENCY 50 and it won't be confusing at all! ; / David. -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sam Young Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Transparent Layer Question? As a background for my application I would like to overlay a colored shape file on top of a black and white hillshade .tif. Is it possible, in the map file, to set the colored shape file to have some transparency so that the hillshade is visible?
