[Mapserver-users] I have some landsat 7 data that I want to tile : overlap + transparency

Ed or others,

If you have the time could you look at the LAYER below and help me out with
the appropriate parameters to get a 300 dpi image at 6 inches using the
BBOX, WIDTH and HEIGHT centering on UTM Zone 10 coordinates 583695, 6267684.

Has there been some discussions on this in the Archives because I have come
up with a blank on this..?

thanks
Stephen
