[mapserver-users] Map Border

[Brent Fraser]

Matt,

   Personally, I think if you are using WMS protocol the generation of 
printed map should be responsibility of the WMS client, not the server 
(this would include page layout components of border, graticule, north 
arrow, key map, titles,  etc).

   That being said, I don't know of an Open Source desktop WMS client 
that is capable of rendering a good graticule, but I haven't checked 
lately (you could check Quantum GIS, gvSIG, and uDig).  GeoMoose 
(http://www.geomoose.org/), a web-mapping solution, does map composing 
and printing using PHP and MapScript, but no graticule support.  
Mapfish, another web mapping solution, has some nice printing support, 
but I don't know if it does a graticule.

   As for plain-old Mapserver, here's a link to an old discussion with a 
couple of tricks:
