[Mapserver-users] set zoom level to 1:1?

Twan -

Since your pixels are reported to be 1.5 units in each dimension, you should simply ask MapServer for a map whose spatial EXTENT (i.e. the mapfile EXTENT statement) is 1.5 times the number of pixels in the requested image size.  If you ask for an image that's 400 pixels by 400 pixels, and you ask for geographic extents that are 600 units by 600 units, you'll get exactly one output pixel for each input pixel.

Hello list,

Here comes a quick question:
When i open my raster layer in paint shop pro or photoshop, the raster 
(tiff) file is displayed at zoom level 1. You see the streets and parks the 
way it should be.

When i view the raster layer with mapserver the first view is a resized 
raster layer, so it does fit into the boundries of the map extent.

How can i calculate the zoom/scale level which is needed to get the same 
viewing result in mapserver as viewing the raster layer in paint shop pro? 
With other words, how can i zoom into a map so the zoom level is 1:1.
