Thanks for the response Steve,<br><br>I've tried all sorts of variations for PNG and GIF, and it hasn't been<br>successful.<br><br>Any other options for "logo water-marking" maps from MapServer? I was<br>

<br><br>Randy: I'm thinking we have a documentation issue here. I'm not sure that<br>the TRANSPARENT option is even supported anymore. Typically MapServer<br>respects the transparency of the image itself, so you need to create a
<br>transparent GIF for that to work. Give that a shot and I'll check the source<br>(and update the docs) to make sure.<br><br>Steve<br><br><br>>>> Randy How <<a href="mailto:rhow@I3.COM" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

<br>I'm attempting to set the background transparency for a symbol that I've<br>created, but with no success.<br><br>My symbol definition<br><br> SYMBOL<br> NAME "logo"<br> TYPE PIXMAP<br> IMAGE "h2o_logos/logo.GIF"
<br> TRANSPARENT 0<br> END<br><br>According to the reference setting a color index in the GIF sets the<br>transparency (i.e. TRANSPARENT 0). Color index is 0 is black, and the<br>output map layer symbol is not transparent!
