FW: [mapguide-users] Watermarks and licence agreements [No Viruses detected]

[Tom Chadwin]

Thanks for the advice, Kenneth. We are required by our base mapping
suppliers to overprint a licence agreement on maps, say, along the
bottom edge. They also require us to watermark maps with our logo. This
is what I am trying to achieve. An absolutely positioned DIV could
probably do the former, though it would be nice to give the text a
semi-transparent white background so that it was more legible over the
map. PNGs could do this, as well as the watermark logo, but I believe
PNG alpha transparency is not supported in IE6.

Any further ideas on how I should proceed?

Thanks again

Tom

My first attempt would be to create a transparent image, and place it in
the mapframe with absolute coordinates, and a high z-index, so that it
will show all the time.
If you are refering to "google-like" watermarking, I think you must hook
into the imager render, and place the watermark algorithm there.

I don't know how you want to display the license statement, is it a kind
of  EULA the user must accept before displaying the map?
