[Geomoose-users] Displaying rectangles

[Bob Basques]

All, 

I would have to experiment to be sure, but there may be a way to do this type of calulation via templates.  You would need the view window in ground coordinates, which you can get from a template, and I think there is a method to convert to PIXELs, that's how we do our imagemaps from MapServer.  So I think all the feeds are available, it's just putting it all together .. .

Carl,

  Have a look at mapserver's technique to place a copyright notice on the map  (http://mapserver.org/faq.html#how-do-i-add-a-copyright-notice-on-the-corner-of-my-map), although it may be difficult to calculate the center of the map.    Or perhaps you could use the "drawing" layer of GeoMoose/OpenLayers to automatically render some polygons.

Best Regards,

Hello all, 



this may be more appropriate on the mapserver list but I am not sure so here goes. 



I am going to need to display two rectangles as layers on my map, they will need to be just a rectangular box with an outline and transparent centre panel, sizes have not been given yet but will most likely be 25km high and 45km wide or something of that order, the rectangles will be of a different size and have a different colour outline. 

I am then going to need to try to get 1 or other of the rectangles to display on the maps at all times and to "follow" the centre point of the map as the user pans and zooms around. 



Anyone have any ideas on how best to accomplish this? 



Cheers 



Carl
