[OpenLayers-Users] Configuring min/max extents in OL

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi,

 I am a bit struggling with the min/max settings for 
 extent/resolution/zoomLevel whatever. There are so many (partially 
 contradicting) parameters where I don't know which takes precedence.

 My setup is that I use only untiled WMS with fractionalZoom enabled (no 
 fixed scales). I want to constrain the maximum zoomed in extent by 
 setting the maxScale value and maximum zoomed out extent by setting the 
 maxExtent. I do not want to fuss around with resolution or zoom levels, 
 as I do not use tiles.

 Is there a tutorial or explanation of all the involved parameters that 
 would help me and better explain what they mean and how they are 
 connected with each other? From just reading the documentation at 
 http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.10/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Map-js.html 
 I can't figure it out.

 Thanks for any pointers,
 Andreas
