Hi Steve,<br><br>Thanks for the response. It's always good to know there's someone out there that can help!<br><br>Here's our situation. We use MapServer CGI wrapped in a C# application. The app would call MapServer with various CGI parameters depending on what the user is doing in the application.
<br><br>One functionality we need is to hilite features on a map and for it to return results of features from other layers intersecting it. The return results party is working great.<br><br>A single feature can be hilited at the moment using mode=featurenquery, slayer, and passing
img.x and img.y. For example, this might be a building parameter. This works to a degree. We haven't been able to control the colour correctly with QUERYMAP and COLOR. But that's another issue.<br><br>Hiliting multiple features is what we are after. We would like our users to be able to click on a feature on the map through our application. Then we would hilite this through MapServer. Then the user can click on more features. We'd like the initial feature, and any features clicked on after to be all hilighted.
e.g. user clicks on three building parameters.<br><br>The problem we are facing is hiliting multiple features. Do you have any suggestions on how we may do this?<br><br>Xin<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 13/04/06,

Xin: There's a big difference between a feature and a shape though. The<br>imgshape parameter was intended for use with something really simple<br>like a DHTML digitizer so at this point it only supports a single feature. It
<br>would not be hard to hack mapserv.c to allow mulitple instances of<br>imgshape to build up a more complex feature (holes, multiple outer rings).<br><br>I'm not sure if that's what you need though. There are other ways to
<br>highlight features. Perhaps you could describe the steps in which the<br>application is used along with desired outputs. That would make it easier<br>to suggest alternatives.<br><br>Steve<br><br>>>> Xin <<a href="mailto:crazygecko@GMAIL.COM">
