[mapserver-users] Image output is flattened - projection issu e?

[Arthur, John]

Actual, I'm using a PHP script modeled after the "gmap" example, not the cgi
version. The image sizes match because PHP pulls it from the .map file. This
is verified by viewing the source.

Maybe I'll try to do the CGI version.

sounds like the problem is not in mapserver's output, but rather how you are
displaying that output in your html template. 

make sure that the size parameters in you map file match the img display
sizes in you HTML.

ie: if in your mapfile you have: SIZE 600 600 (as in the demo), in your HTML
you should have:

<INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="[img]" width=600 height=600>
(as in the demo).

I think you can specify whatever sized output you want from mapserver, and
your map will look fine as long as you ensure that the size values match in
these 2 places...

Good luck,
TCH
