Thanks again, but I'm afraid, that won't work for me. Each 3 of that total number of features are combined to form one "metafeature" which is selectable and modifiable. On selection further information is displayed. I don't see, how I would achieve that through an image of the features?!
Maybe I just don't know the technology to "render" an image from the feature information on server side (geoserver?). Could you provide an example documentation or something on that? So I at least could have a deeper look in the theory.
