Gladly. Here is my legend code:<br>
<br>
[leg_group_html]<br>
<tr><br>
<td colspan=3 bgcolor=#cccccc><b>[leg_group_name]</b></td><br>
</tr><br>
[/leg_group_html]<br>
<br>
[leg_layer_html]<br>
[/leg_layer_html]<br>
<br>
[leg_class_html]<br>
<tr><br>
<td width=15>&nbsp;</td><br>
<td><br>
<img src="[leg_icon width=15 height=15]" width=15 height=15><br>
</td><br>
<td><br>
[leg_class_name]<br>
</td><br>
</tr><br>
[/leg_class_html]<br>
<br>
<br>
However, it does not work as you say (and as the documentation on the web
page says!). Layers that are "off" do not show up (that's as expected and
what I want), that's fine, but layers that are out of SCALE DO show up, and
that's not as expected and that's not as the documentation states and that's
NOT what I want. For example, I have a layer called Ethiopia_Rivers...here's
what it looks like:<br>
<br>
LAYER<br>
NAME "Ethiopia_Rivers"<br>
TYPE LINE<br>
STATUS off<br>
GROUP Ethiopia<br>
DATA "ethiopia_rivers"<br>
HEADER 'ethiopia_rivers.shp_header.html'<br>
CLASS<br>
MAXSCALE 8710165<br>
Name 'Ethiopia Rivers'<br>
COLOR 102 204 255<br>
TEMPLATE ethiopia_rivers.shp_query.html<br>
END # CLASS<br>
END # LAYER<br>
<br>
Now, when I'm viewing my map at full extent, my scale factor is 1:<font size="3"><b>
20136789</b></font>, therefore if I click on the Ethiopia_Rivers layer at
that zoom level, nothing shows up in the map. This is the exact behavior
that I would expect...I'm out of scale for that layer, so it doesn't show
up in the map until I zoom in. The PROBLEM, however, is that the "Ethiopia
Rivers" icon and label pop up in my legend...this is counter-intuitive, contrary
to the documented behavior of Mapserver, and just flat-out frustrating! If
the layer is not showing up in my map (because it's out of scale), then it
should NOT be in my legend either. Grrrr!!! Pardon me for sounding bitter...I'm
not lashing out at you, I'm very grateful for your help, I'm just frustrated
at Mapserver.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

I <br>have sub-classed many of my layers so that symbols show up in different <br>sizes depending on how far zoomed in you are. In other words, I'm using <br>"MINSCALE" and "MAXSCALE" in my classes, but all of my classes show up <br>in the legend and that's really annoying! I want ONLY the in-scale <br>symbol to show up in the legend as it does in the map...any tips on how <br>to do this without Mapscript? I see the "if" conditional statements in <br>the HTML Legend How-to, but there's no status of "SCALE" to
check with <br>those statements... if I could put an if statement in my legend template <br>that checked whether or not a class or layer was in scale, then I'd be <br>in business...any way to do this?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br><br></pre>
