[mapguide-users] AW: RAM & RASTERS

[Andy Morsell]

Thanks for sharing your site.  It is a perfect example of why the raster
provider needs to have support for non-bitonal image transparency.   Your
Kamloops_Raster layer is one large image mosaic with a black background.
Due to the image's need to be orthogonal, the remaining area is filled in
with the background color of black.  If we could simply specify that the
color black is the color to be treated as transparent, it would not block
out the information underneath.  This is one of my top wishlist enhancement
items for MapGuide.

Hello,  it has been a very painful and slow process to see rasters images
for us.  You need to download the free raster fdo from the open source
website.
It is general and works with ecw formats and other raster formats. If you
are interested you can view our demonstration here:
