[mapserver-users] How to draw custom rectangles with bounding box coordinates

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

MapServer doesn't have a bbox shape type you can draw from so you'd need to turn the bounding boxes
into true polygons and draw them that way. That's just a matter of feeding the bbox corners in the right
order. MapScript has a toPolygon method for rects that should make that easy.

Subject: [mapserver-users] How to draw custom rectangles with bounding box      coordinates

Hi everyone...

                 Well i am using phpmapscript with mapserver. Well I need to
draw custom rectangles on the extent of the map with the user-defined BBOX
coordinates..

I mean the way I was able to query the map with the BBOX coordiantes, I need
to represent that part of the map with the custom rectangle ala the
screenshots below.

So I was hoping anyone over here could provide me an insight of how I may
proceed to achieve this... Do  I need work on javascript for the
customization?!!

Thanks....
