layers, its a completely custom written site. It could definitely be done, but
then there would be a lot of processing going on the background x 3 and I don't
think thats practicle. I also thought about just physically moving the
shapes closer to the US, but theres about 15 layers that would have to be
updated, that still might just be easiest though. I was hoping there was
maybe someway I could use mapservers querymap feature to do this, but I guess
not?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>If you are using something like OpenLayers under the hood,
you might just create three separate maps, one for each region. You can set the
maxextents for each map to prevent scrolling outside that area.<br>
<br>
This way each map would have its own controls and its own div and each could
respond to events in their respective div.<br>
<br>
This is definitely not a mapserver issue, but it is an interesting problem.<br>

There's so many other things going on server side to calculate the data

Hi, I am working on a site that displays thematic
data for the<br>
United States, and I would like to include small
maps for Alaska<br>
and Hawaii in the corners of the main map, rather
than having to<br>
zoom so far out to see them. Does anyone have
any suggestions<br>
about the best way of going about doing this? Thanks.<br>
<br>

This is really a composition problem where you need to compose a<br>
single image from multiple separate images. The answer really<br>
depends on what media you are using like html, pdf, etc.<br>
<br>
If you are trying to do this in a web application I would
recommend<br>
an approach some like:<br>
<br>
Using PHP/Mapscript, generate you three images and then use PHP GD<br>
to compose the three images into a single image and then return
that<br>
to the browser. You can use a similar approach if you are using
PDF<br>
depending on the PDF lib you are using.<br>
