Mapserver 44 image display problem

[Mark Adams]

Well, I did the same and it worked - I now get the image in colour. But
surely this isn't the way it's supposed to work? One immediate problem
that arises is that none of the map file elements that exist at the
CLASS level can now be used with raster layers, including the keyimage
element I had been using.

Should I file a bug for this?

Also, I still have the problem with transparency on the GIF I'm using
for the north arrow. On both machines that I'm using mapserver 44 on,
this image shows with an opaque grey colour background, which should be
transparent. I tried setting TRANSPAREMT ON in the map file, now
anything white becomes this grey colour - legend image background, map
window background etc. Is this a GD issue?

Thanks for your help.

Mark,

I ran into a problem with the same symptoms today.  I had been
assigning an default class and style to the raster layer.  Once
I fixed this, full RGB output was restored.

cheers,
Sean
