[Mapserver-users] shapefile transparency

[Stender, Amy ERDC-CRREL-NH Contractor]

Hello,

I'm a little confused as to how TRANSPARENCY works within a LAYER object. I have urban area polygons I would like to overlay states/counties, with TRANSPARENCY set to 50. When this layer turns on, not only are the urban areas transparent, but the states/counties go transparent as well. This appears only to effect the layers on by default. When I turn on other layers, they are still completely opaque.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? (I'm using v3.7)

Thanks,
Amy
