[mapserver-users] mapscript and image extent

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

With the CGI version the extent of the map being returned can be accessed
via "[mapext]" ...

In Perl, something like "$map->{extent}->{minx}" (or miny,maxx,maxy) should
give it to you ... Just make sure you call this after any operation has been
performed obviously.  This would return the extent of the map for the
current state of the map object.

Hi,

is it possible to get mapscript access to the calculated image extent
(in map coordinates) when/after drawing the map image? Because this is
not the same as the actual map extent set in the mapfile, is it?

Thanks, Michael
