[mapserver-dev] Transparency attribute on Layer Object

[David Graham]

Daniel:

That is strange.  I looked for it in the MapFile refrence and it is not 
there.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/mapfile-reference.html

I don't think it exists for raster stuff.  My look into mapraster.c did 
not turn up anything that looked like it.
