When I set transparency to true and tell it imagetype is PNG, then the image

served as a JPEG are not "see through" so if you have an ECW that covers the
City, mapserver will fill the rest of the image with a color (typically
white). Transparency comes into play, because if you serve the image
as a PNG or GIF then the "white" becomes "see through" (aka
"transparent").<BR><BR>This isn't a limitation of Mapserver or GeoMOOSE,

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The
image is an ECW but JPG acts the same way. My question is why does
transparency come into play when I do not want to see under the image, I
want to see beyond the extent of the image. For example the image is 1
mile by 1 mile and it still covers up the whole county. Is that
because the mapserver still thinks the image is
county-wide?</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
