<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">When I change the extents, it will always zoom out so it can fit everything in the extent in the window. So if I change the extent to be only a thin vertical line it makes no difference. Changing the size makes no difference, it was 500 600, I changed it to 100 5000 and 5000 100 and there is no difference.<br><br>--- On <b>Fri, 8/20/10, Rahkonen Jukka <i><Jukka.Rahkonen@mmmtike.fi></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Rahkonen Jukka <Jukka.Rahkonen@mmmtike.fi><br>Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] maps all look squished<br>To: "Josh Jordan" <outerspaceman81@yahoo.com>, mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br>Date: Friday, August 20, 2010, 11:22 AM<br><br><div class="plainMail">Hi,<br><br>I have never used any MabObj things, only shp2img, Mapserver
CGI and WMS clients. However, I guess that your system is taking the EXTENTS from your mapfile as well as SIZE. If you change the output projection without changing extents you will see nothing because the view window is no more in the same place as the data are. And SIZE parameters can squeese your image, play with them and see.<br><br>-Jukka-<br><br><br>-----Alkuperäinen viesti-----<br>Lähettäjä: <a ymailto="mailto:mapserver-users-bounces@lists.osgeo.org" href="/mc/compose?to=mapserver-users-bounces@lists.osgeo.org">mapserver-users-bounces@lists.osgeo.org</a> puolesta: Josh Jordan<br>Lähetetty: pe 20.8.2010 17:24<br>Vastaanottaja: <a ymailto="mailto:mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org" href="/mc/compose?to=mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org">mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org</a><br>Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] maps all look squished<br> <br>The projection in the mapfile is "init=epsg:2023".
