[mapguide-users] How to set layer's order for WMS in Mapguide Maestro?

[Berg, James]

Are you talking about making a single layer resource whose feature class comprises of more than one image available from the WMS?

If so, then by default a single image provided by the WMS is made into a single feature class which can be turned into a single layer. In this case you could have multiple layers with individual images and order them in the map definition like normal.

However, it's possible to use multiple images from the WMS in a single feature class which can be made into a larger layer composed of many image. As far as I know, the only way of doing this is by manually editing the config.xml that is created for your WMS feature source. This process is described here in the "Multiple WMS Layers in a Single MapGuide Layer" section of this document: http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoWmsNotes

My guess is that the order you list the layers in the config document  will determine the draw order for those images.

Hi, Jackie!
I thought if WMS client isn't using order settings and getting all information via getcapabilities request it is a WMS server responsobility. Isn't?

Huh?

I would've thought draw order of WMS layer would be the responsibility of
the WMS *client* application and not the WMS server.
