Armin Thanks very much for the suggestions. I have posted a question to mapserver-users list. In the meantime I'll try with your workaround.
I am interested in one more thing - I need to somehow download the map together with legend and embed it in a Word document. Is it better to download the map as the png image or print it to pdf? I suppose the first option is better but how can I download the legend as in pdf print? thanks very much regards, dejan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 27.07.2008 11:45:57: > On 25/07/2008 13:07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Can I influence the size of legend icon/image in any way?
