<font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3">Also, and this may seem like a way left thinking thought, what about using a regular layer definition for Legend output, either by adding in some (or all) of the legend capabilities to a regular layer definition as an option. I haven't thought this through completely, but some of the legend controls seem to lend themselves to building up a markup layer of sorts. Could this be a way of making the legends for these odd layers and at the same time begin build out of some map markup tools as well?</font> </p>

Problem is that your transparency is occurring over other layers (e.g. aerial photos) so it will never<br>match unless you're drawing over the same background (typically defined by IMAGECOLOR) in<br>both cases. I'm not sure how easy a fix it is. Feel free to create a ticket though.<br><br>Steve<br><br>>>> On 6/18/2009 at 8:54 AM, in message<br><9D58C43BDFE3F846ADF3A0F8100940B3137CA5@DBEXVS02.erau.edu>, Steven Lehr<br><lehrs@erau.edu> wrote:<br>> I'd think so - should be a simple fix, and would improve the overall MapServer<br>> product.  If somebody needs some funds to make this happen, let me know, I'd<br>> gladly fund it getting fixed.<br>><br>> Thanks<br>> Steve<br>><br>><br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: Richard Greenwood [mailto:richard.greenwood@gmail.com]<br>> Sent: Wed 6/17/2009 10:45 PM<br>> To: Lehr, Steven<br>> Cc: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br>> Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] HTML Legend vs Transparency in Layer<br>> <br>> I've run into exactly the same thing.
