[Mapserver-users] Re: jBox -> Select Polygon Region?

[Wim Blanken PI]

Hi There too,

Richard is right, I've made some small modifications to the jbox code to let
me
digitize polygons, lines and points in my mapserver application.
It works with jbox, mapserver-cgi and some additional mapscript code.
I will be happy to share this, but at the moment it is heavily relient on my
application structure.
It's also quite straightforward but anyway expect somewhere this weekend a
post from me with the code I am using.......

Regards,

Wim Blanken
