[Mapserver-users] saveImage --> save in 4.0

[Simpson, Andrew]

Thanks, for the response.  That helps clarify the new functionality.
Is there code to instantiate an outputFormat object and access its
methods/attributes from code without the use of map files?

If output formats are properly defined in your map file (see the
map file reference), you change formats using setImageType().

$map->setImageType('JPEG') 				# JPEG is a built-in
$map->setImageType('JPEG_TRANSPARENT')  # Using a named outputformat
	
# in your map file

outputformat is documented at

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/mapfile-reference.html#outputformat

cheers,
Sean
