Couple more questions about MapServer...I am using mapplet with just the cgi
commands. No mapscript of any sorts yet.
1) When I print out the scale variable, what are the units of this value?
My map is just using a lat/lon extent of -180,-90,180,90.
2) How does one go about using the TILEINDEX variable? Is there an example
out there to look at? I have say 4 shape files that each represent a 5
degree by 5 degree area. Am I correct to assume I add the pathes to each of
these files to the TILEINDEX file and that represents that layer?
3) I am trying to use the maplat/maplon variables and I never see any value.
Do I need to set a projection? When I try to set it to latlong, I get
errors. I have compiled mapserv with proj4.
4) Lastly...sort of releated to number 3, how can I get the lat/lon for the
positions points on the map?
Thanks again for all the help!!
Chris
