[mapserver-users] TRANSPARENCY PROBLEM

[Pietro Giannini]

Hi john,
simply omit the whole STYLE in the class, this make the layer transparent.
Or, if this seems dirty, set COLOR -1 -1 -1 and OUTLINECOLOR -1 -1 -1.
In fact the TRANSPARENCY 1 render a very faded layer, while TRANSPARENCY 0
is like TRANSPARENCY 100...

(TRANSPARENCY is deprecated in ms5, use OPACITY)

let me know, ciao
