[mapserver-users] How to open a new window for print layout

[Steve Lime]

Here's an older templated application that does this. It uses the current map extent
and layers to make another call to MapServer that changes the output template. Click
on the print button so see how it works. It's complete trial and error though to make
it fit on one sheet of paper.

  http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/animap/mapper.html?map=ANIMAP_MAPFILE&imgext=125105.727952+4680758.883785+788393.592828+5593403.088840&imgxy=200.0+275.0&zoomsize=3&zoomdir=0&mode=browse&layers=all&type=mammals&property=cname&species=TAXTAX&queryby=base_geography&geography=county&place=&placetype=any

This is MapServer 4.6 wrapped in our content management system which functions
as a proxy.
