All,

Sorry about posting to my own post, but I just discovered something interesting in the printing data.  Inside of the PARAMS hash for each layer there is:

MAP => <some stuff>

And

Map => <same stuff as above>

They both show the same thing for all layers so far.  Is there a situation where they are potentially different, or is this a legacy piece??

Thanks

Bobb

All,

This message is directed at the printing gurus of GeoMoose.

I've put together a PERL (I know, I know) parser for the printing requester in GeoMoose.  The output, so far, can be seen below.  I just used the default print layers from the Demo interface to get this far.  I did add in some drawn objects, a point, line and polygon.  Focusing on parsing of the "layers" parameter I've made good progress so far, but . . .

Question: Are there other optional TYPEs of objects that I need to worry about?  Is there a MAPSERVER type for example or ??, do any of the baselayers (BING, GOOGLE, assuming I have a API key to print with . . .) have types assigned to them for printing?  I see four sub hashes from the top level for PARAMS, LEGENDS, LAYERS and FEATURES. So far I just see TYPEs for WMS and VECTOR out of GeoMoose DEMO.

Also, can I assume that the stacking order is the same as the top level (layer) listing order?  I don't see any Z-index info.

Looking in print_util.php I see something for AGS as a type, (ArcGIS), but mysteriously MapServ types are missing . . . . Can I add these in via parameters in the mapbook for a Mapserver layer and they'll get passed through automagically?

I may be using the wrong keywords for looking this up in the docs, but I didn't get any results from trying there.

Thanks

bobb
