[mapserver-users] Really general question about Mapfiles and GetMap requests

2009-05-29 Thread Robert Hicks 
In a GetMap request what are the arguments 'height' and 'width' measured in?
Pixels?
Also what does changing RESOLUTION and SIZE in a mapfile actually do?

MAP
  ...

RESOLUTION 300

SIZE 1667 1667

  ...

END

Thanks!

Yes, it's in pixels.


Also what does changing RESOLUTION and SIZE in a mapfile actually do?



http://mapserver.org/mapfile/map.html

See RESOLUTION and SIZE

If you use the mapserver cgi to draw your map (mode=map ), then the map 
draw will have the SIZE defined in your mapfile.


See : http://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html to know more about 
mapserver cgi.



MAP
  ...

RESOLUTION 300

SIZE 1667 1667

  ...

END


Thanks!


Regards,

Alexandre
