In the past I've dabbled with having layers to " erase"the map
data around the perimeter:<br>
<br>
LAYER<br>
NAME "Margin"<br>
TRANSFORM FALSE<br>
STATUS DEFAULT<br>
TYPE POLYGON<br>
CLASS<br>
COLOR 255 255 255<br>
END<br>
FEATURE<br>
POINTS 0 0 0 600 70 600 70 0 0 0 END<br>
POINTS 70 0 70 70 800 70 800 0 70 0 END <br>
POINTS 70 600 800 600 800 530 70 530 70 600 END<br>
POINTS 730 70 730 530 800 530 800 70 730 70 END<br>
END<br>
END<br>
<br>
#-----------------------------------------------------------<br>
LAYER<br>
NAME "NeatLine"<br>
TRANSFORM FALSE<br>
STATUS DEFAULT<br>
TYPE LINE<br>
CLASS<br>
COLOR 0 0 0<br>
END<br>
FEATURE<br>
POINTS 70 70 70 530 730 530 730 70 70 70 END<br>
END<br>
END<br>
<br>
<br>
Also I've experimented with adding FORMATOPTIONs to OUTPUTFORMAT
code (see

<br>
How big do you plan to make your maps? Will they include imagery?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans
MS","serif"">I’m interested in applying USNG
collaring to maps in general as a grid overlay. I’m pretty
sure I ca do this with PERL, but all the re-projection
capabilities in MapServer make it much more attractive.
There are also quite a fe desires finishing options that I
would like to include related to rotation and alignment.
I’m open to applying the collar on or off (outside of ) the
map itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans
MS","serif"">I’ve worked with both the ESRI
and AutoDesk tools for accomplishing the same results as
well. AutoDesk has a fairly well thought out XML file
format for defining the grid labeling, it’s almost SLD-ish
as a matter of fact. I’ve also been involved in a couple of
Javascript mashups to provide USNG overlays to maps, but
they aren’t hardcopy centric, which is what I need to focus
on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
