Layers that are not in the config.ini will very likely not work with various functions like queries since they are not referenced in the p.mapper layer and groups objects (thats different objects than pure Mapscript layers). Hence they produce errors when trying to read some specific attributes.
What you mention is more a solution for always displaying annotations, north arrows, copyright notice, a permanent background raster layer, etc. I personally would find it a bit confusing seeing something on the map and in the query but not in the Toc/legend. armin On 29/10/2008 23:12, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi, > > I want to display a point layer (labeled by its attribute field) on the > map, without showing it in TOC/legend.
