[mapguide-users] Creating and adding layers

[oshan]

Hi Kenneth 

Thanks for you reply. I'm basically trying to get a map displayed in the
ajax viewer and the map I'm planning to use is a raster image.

I tried doing it using map guide maestro but I couldn't get the image
displayed. I tnk its something to do with the coordinate system may be its
way off the screen.

I was looking at GDAL and found this link. It kind shows how to add
coordinate to raster image. I'll try that and see if it works.

By the way do you mean data files like .shp? what is a good free client I
used to create such data? 

Thanks
