Re: [mapserver-users] Showing pop up for a line

In my experience it's easier to do a buffer on the line features first (something nominal) which turns it into a polygon. In this way, the operators you want to use work consistently. - Original Message From: Subha Ramakrishnan su...@gslab.com To: Steve Lime

You can actually call the legend and individual layer images. For the legends, mode=legend will help you out. For the layer images, you could iterate through the layer name list to generate each individual image. - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:
