[mapguide-users] Creating and adding layers

[oshan]

By the way I'm using mapguide os 2.0 with jsp extension. does this come with
the GDAL plugin to handle all the raster data? I checked in my bin folder
and there is no gdalplugins folder! But inside FDO I have a file called
gdal14.dll. If this is not enough where do I get this full plugin from and
which version. The version of the gdal14.dll is 1.4.3.0

cheers
