I have a question. I need to create shapes "on-the-fly" and I don't know =
how to do this using MapServer.=20
The use case is: after a selection of an area on the map by the user all =
the elements inside this area and related to the active layer, have to =
be highlighted or have their color changed. A quadratic shadowed shape =
drawn arround them should solve the case. Sometimes the shape have to be =
circular with its radio, previously got, from the point of the unique =
item selected: case of one-item selected.
Does anybody can tell me if it's possible and how to do that using =
MapServer?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Gleiner.
