[Mapserver-users] MINSCALE in webobj

[Ed McNierney]

Vincent -

Yes, I've used it and it has always seemed just fine to me.  You should display the [scale] value on your map to make sure the units are indeed correct, and see whether that value becomes less than your MINSCALE value.

Hi,

Did any of you succesfully use the MINSCALE item in the webobject of the 
mapfile? The mapfile reference sais:

MINSCALE [double]

Minimum scale at which this interface is valid. When a user reuqests a map at 	
a smaller scale, MapServer automatically returns the map at this scale. This 
effectively prevents the user from zooming in too far.

I tried this but could not get it working.
If anyone can give me a hint, please do so.
And before getting the too obvious hint: yes, my units are right. Everything 
works, just the minscale item does nothing. I'm using mapserver through 
php_mapscript, version 3.7 (cvs of not too long ago).

Note btw that this is a different MINSCALE than the one used in a LAYER 
object.

Regards,
