again. I have a few layers that I consume in GeoMoose by WMS.
Some of these are vecot line layers such as roads. They work
perfectly in GeoMoose map view. But when I compose a printable map,
these layers have a black background which obscures other layers and just
plain looks ugly. If I set the “transparent” property to false,
the black background goes away, but then I can’t see any underlying
data. <o style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial" p="#DEFAULT"></o></span></font> <o p="#DEFAULT"></o>
