[mapserver-users] problems with the reference map

[Rodrigo Cabral]

I guess here it's your solution... Maybe we should do a HOWTO on this:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/html/01
11/msg00078.html
and
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/majordom_lists/archives/mapserver-users/html/01
11/bin00001.bin

The PHP reference map generator needs a fix though, need to put 'set width &
height' before 'setextent', like this:

$map->setextent( $minx, $miny, $maxx, $maxy );
$map->set( 'width' , $width );
$map->set( 'height' , $height );

changes to:

$map->set( 'width' , $width );
$map->set( 'height' , $height );
$map->setextent( $minx, $miny, $maxx, $maxy );

Rod.

That almost implies problems with the reference map defiinition. That is,
the extent is wrong or perhaps the size values don't actually match the
image you're using. Those are certainly the first places to check.

Hello,

I'm having problems with the drawing of the box on the reference map ... It
draws a bit "off" of where it should be, and the more I zoom in, the worst
it gets!

I checked other tools I've built, and it works fine there.

The map and reference map share the same inital extent, and the image size
is a perfect fraction of the main map, so everything should fit ok ...

The only thing that comes to mind would be differences in the underlying
data ... has anybody experienced this before?

Thank you,
