[OpenLayers-Users] How to print map area with openlayers

[Paul Spencer]

We get vector layers into print by using WFST via tinyows and then adding layers to a mapserver map file which draw the features from the same postgis database that tinyows uses.

Cheers

Paul

The returned image is turned into a PDF by the Python ReportLab module which is then returned to the calling Web page.
