[Mapserver-users] Reference map to show bounding coordinates extent not map extent works in 3.5 but ont 3.6

[John.Hockaday at ga.gov.au]

Hi,

I have found the solution to my problem.  Although I thought that the problem
was with my map file it turned out that it was a problem with the PNG that I
was using.  I used mapserv35 to create another reference PNG and used that as
the IMAGE.  Everything seems to be working now.

No wonder no-one could provide a solution. ;--)

Thanks.
