[mapserver-users] bug in mapscript colorObj ?

[Jachym Cepicky]

Daniel,

problem is, that the COLOR object is *not* written to mapfile, when one 
of the RGB components is set to "-1"

It can be seen in the script, I send in my previous e-mail and, I 
created ticket to this

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/4042

Thanks

Jachym
