[Geomoose-users] RASTER & GEOmoose frustration

[Hose]

Thank you Sir,

I have tried the suggested /zindex =-1/ but without success.

It looks like the  raster image is loaded without any trouble the problem is that it only turns up a white layer or blank layer . The Fade/unfade option works on the raster layer so  when i place the raster on top of the list and turn any other layer underneath the raster on i can make the raster transparent and so other layers start showing through raster. So i can make it solid white or translucent but the DME raster image in tif, jpg,..... is simply not there. Only what it looks like a "Blank piece of paper" taht i can pan arround. 

Thank you 
 Sincerely Joze

First I would submit similar questions to the GeoMoose list, more info

I'm copying this reply to the list.


It sounds like you need a ZINDEX=-1 parameter set in your MAPBOOK for
the Raster layer.

In the Demo package released with GeoMoose take a look at one of the
MAPBOOKS and do a search for "zindex",  This parameter, tell the
GeoMoose application how to stack the layers in the interface by
default, setting the zindex to -1 will place that layer behind all
others as they are loaded, keep in mind that only one background layer
at a time can be used, but you can have as many set to -1 as you like. 
All other layers that are not set to -1 will be place on top of the
interface.

You can also see the results in this interface by examining the Mapbook
(I would check with FireBug in Firefox if possible):

https://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/gis/gismo_public/html/

All the "Background" layer have a setting of "-1", which you can see
here:

I have not been so Lucky with RASTERS. I have tried to add .Jpg .GIF,
TIFF,..... nothing realy works. maybe its the problem with compsing my
.map file. I really dont have a slightest clue any more. I have been
searching the internet for quite a while an tried lots of things but
nothing really works for me. The closest i got to showing a raster  over
geomoose is that when i put the raster on top  i can fade and unfade
(transparency) it and the shape layers underneath shows up.
