[mapserver-users] WMS and transparent

[Jim Klassen]

This get's close... add OFFSITE 255 255 255 to the layer. (The problem is the border is not all 255 255 255 because JPEG mangles the colors a little)

Thanks for the reply.  I was hoping maybe MapServer could consume that
jpeg and set the white color to transparent, then mapserver would output
a PNG that has transparency to the web client.  Does the offsite
parameter do this by chance or is there another trick that could be
used?

Hi,

jpegs can not be transparent. Only if you switch to another image format
like image/png.

Best regards,
Bart
