Thanks for the response, not quite what I mean't though. I need the layer to turn only when your view extent is completely within the extent of the layer. Its what a client whats for some raster tiles. E.g if your completely within a tile turn it on but if your half over the extent of one tile and half over the extent of another, turn them both off.
I know it sounds a little silly to do this (why not just display both tiles!) but this what the client watns and I'm just trying to figure out if its possible. :) Cheers, Benjamin -----Original Message----- From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Lime Sent: Wednesday, 8 November 2006 2:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] limiting layer visibility by extent If I understand you correctly MapServer does this automatically if you set STATUS DEFAULT. The layer is always on and is shown if it's extent overlaps the view extent. Steve >>> Benjamin Wragg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/07/06 6:15 AM >>> Hi All, I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to limit a layers visibility by the current extent? E.g if the current extent is within the layers extent, turn the layer on I looked around and all I could find was this feature request http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=786 . It seems like Howard Butler may have got something going but I can't see mention of it in the mapfile reference on the site? Cheers, Benjamin -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
