[mapserver-users] reference map - points & polygons

[Steve Lime]

I do this on our recreation compass application by using a bit of
javascript to trigger reference map creation. You probably could avoid
the javascript entirely by using minscale/maxscale appropriately. The
important thing is that I don't use a reference map object at all,
rather a special mapfile for just the reference map. I'll pass along my
setup if interested. Let me check out the scale issue (removing
javascript) to simplify matters first though.

I think this question has gone around before, but I struck out in my
search 
of the archive, so here goes - How can you switch between having the 
reference map show points instead of polygons? With a reference map that

shows a large area, the rectangle can pretty well disappear when the
user 
zooms in a lot.

Thanks,
Rich
