[OpenLayers-Users] How to Set Up Layer Visibility by Scale

[Bill Thoen]

Thanks... I never would have guessed that. Is the sense of "max" and 
"min" backwards as well? In other words, does maxscale apply to the 
largest denominator or the largest scale (1/denominator)? To put it more 
explicitly, if I set maxscale to 100000 does that mean that the layer is 
visible between 1:1 and 1:100,000 or that it is visible only at scales 
smaller than 1:100,000?
