[Mapserver-users] Printing - PHP code

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Satyajit,

Very nice job indeed! I had a problem that I could not see the map in 
the Rosa applet in either IE6 or Netscape 7.1, so I think something is 
broken.

As for printing, I think the best strategy is to have a link the opens a 
new page with the map, scale bar and legend as image tags and the layout 
designed for printing. If you want to support multiple page formats the 
have the user select them from a drop down. Doing your print pages in 
straight html will be much cleaner. You will have to pass the current 
map parameters and layers to the code or template url that does the 
layout and possibly make some changes to it to adjust the size of the 
image for the new page layout. It would probably be easiest to do this 
in mapscript, but you could also do the image size/scale adjustments in 
javascript before you submit the link.

Great job,
   -Steve W.
