[Mapserver-users] Legends

[Ed McNierney]

John -

If you use the "mode=" commands to have MapServer generate just the map, or just the scalebar, or just the legend, etc. then the image is written to cgi-bin stdout - that is, back to the caller, so you can use the MapServer URL as the SRC property of an IMG tag, as in:

	<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?mode=legend&.....">

If you have the legend generated as one of several images in processing an HTML template, then MapServer will write the legend image to the tmp directory (specified in the MAP file) and substitute the URL to that image for the [legend] tag in the template.
