Hi Steve,<br><br>I am trying to achieve the transparency effect as described in the documentation:<br><dl class="docutils" id="datapattern"><dt>"IMAGECOLOR [r] [g] [b]</dt><dt>Color to initialize the map with (i.e. background color). When
transparency is enabled (TRANSPARENT ON) for the typical case of 8-bit
pseudocolored map generation, this color will be marked as transparent
in the output file palette. Any other map components drawn in this color
will also be transparent, so for map generation with transparency it is
best to use an otherwise unused color as the background color."</dt></dl>Perhaps I'm not clear on what constitutes "8-bit
pseudocolored map generation". I am using the AGG/PNG driver with TRANSPARENT ON.<br><br><br clear="all">Glenn Waldron : Pelican Mapping : <a href="http://pelicanmapping.com">http://pelicanmapping.com</a> : +1.703.652.4791<br>

IMAGECOLOR just sets the background color for an image.<br>
