[mapserver-users] draw map at a precise scale

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

Via the CGI you can use a combination of mapxy, mode=map, and scale parameters.

Subject: [mapserver-users] draw map at a precise scale

I've been searching for a way to draw my map at a specific map location and a specific scale.

IE -90, 38 (Decimal Degree) at 1:100,000 scale

I've seen the zoomscale() and zoompoint() functions but they appear to be pixel coordinate driven and require extents which you wouldn't know, that's the point.

I can write the math to do the extent calculation manually but figure this is such a basic functionality it must
already exist in mapserver?

Anyone done this before?

Thanks
