[Geomoose-users] Retireve XY

[Fischer, Brian]

Yep, you could just create a dummy layer that is a big polygon that
covers your entire area and then use a copy of the identify service to
return the XY coordinate.  I think all you need to do is put [mapx]
[mapy] in your query template.  Also this mapserver reference guide
tells you everything you can have MapServer return in the template.

Subject: [Geomoose-users] Retireve XY

 

Is there a way to modify the Select or Identify tool to not select or
identify layers but to only retieve the XY into the information tab?

 

RIght now the only way I can get the XY and open the information tab is
to use the identify or select.

 

And that is limited because I have to select a feature....what I want to
do is click anywhere in the map (on the aerials) and open the
Information Tab and return the XY

 

Any thoughts...

 

Can I modify the identify?
