[mapserver-users] Layer - conditional on image size

[Peter Schmitt]

I have had the best luck with SCALETOKEN. Occasionally I'll have two
layers: a and b which each set MINSCALEDENOM and MAXSCALEDENOM
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html#index-52
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html#index-49

Set the MINSCALEDENOM of one layer to the MAXSCALEDENOM of the other.  Then
for the WMS request, set layers=a,b.

You can use two layers with the MINSCALEDENOM/MAXSCALEDENOM and add "GROUP
c" to each layer. Then you can make a single request for `layers=c`.
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/layer.html#index-38

One downside with using GROUP: Some metadata, like extents, are not
calculated correctly with a GROUP.  SCALETOKEN with runtime substitution
seems to have largely solved this problem for me.

Cheers,
Pete
