[mapserver-users] rectangle in reference map

[Vincent Schut]

Hmm, strange.
I don't see any significant difference between my reference section and the 
one cited below which 'should be sufficient'.
To be sure, I tried with the following:

REFERENCE
	IMAGE "/home/samboja/ms_data/data/reference/sl_ref.png"
	EXTENT 492499.336 9879200.289 502498.366 9890199.289
	COLOR -1 -1 -1
	OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0
	SIZE 100 110
	STATUS ON
END

The ref image displays OK, but no rectangle appears after zooming in.
I even tried a full recompile/install of the libs (libpng, libgd, libgdal, 
libproj) and mapserver.

Is it something in my php?
essentially, I do the following:
after calculating the new extent (depending on zoomin in/out or panning),
$map->setextent($extent[0],$extent[1],$extent[2],$extent[3]);
$image = $map->prepareImage();
$image = $map->draw();
$ref_image = $map->drawReferenceMap();
and then the necessary stuff to save the temp images and so on.

Did I miss something here?

Vincent.
