[mapserver-users] .png or .jpg as reference object image?

Reference maps have nothing to do with GDAL, but rather the version of
GD you're using. Best to stick with GIF or PNG. I too have seen strange
things with PNG output (anyone else) and am checking further...

Hi all,


Quote of reference object @ mapfile documentation :
###################


IMAGE [filename]

    Full filename of the base reference image. Must be a GIF image.

#####################

I'm using the new GDAL (without .gif support). Is ist impossible to use

a reference images other than .gif?

I tried .png: The [ref] image shows up, but without a highlighted
area.

Regards,
Stefan
