umm... i think i *may* have answered my own question... does it have to do with the dimensions of the ouput image that is set? i have a final image that has a 4:3 ratio, and does the setExtent function automatically account for the image dimensions? It seems so, for when I do this: === PHP code === $map->setExtent(-1,-1,1,1); echo "<pre>final extent is: "; print_r( $map->extent ); echo "</pre><br>\n";
=== End PHP code === I get: === HTML Output === final extent is: ms_rect_obj Object ( [_handle_] => Resource id #7 [minx] => -1.33333333333 [miny] => -1 [maxx] => 1.33333333333 [maxy] => 1 ) === End HTML Output === Just threw me... thanks, matt ________________________________ From: UMN MapServer Users List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pettis, Matthew (TOC TGTI) Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 3:24 PM To: MAPSERVER-USERS@LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] PHP Mapscript: Map extent not being set to what I am passing setExtent on my map object Hi, I am passing an extent to my map object to set it, but it is not being set to what I am telling it.
