[Cartoweb-users] How to set extent properly

[Gambin Dejan]

Thanks Alexandre,

Do you mean I should fix the map width defined in images.ini file? I
have tried that by settint the ratio of mapsizes.width and
mapsizes.height to be similar to (xmax-xmin)/(ymax-ymin) ratio defined
in EXTENT. It is better but not completely because I still don't see a
little bit of the extent on the right side of my map. I didn't
completely understand the thing about the margin too.

many thanks

regards, dejan

Hi
You have to take into account the width/height ratio of your image. In 
your case, ymin and ymax correspond probably to the vertical extent 
defined in the mapfile. This, with the height, sets the scale; and at 
this scale your image width doesn't cover the whole horizontal extent.
Try to have a better fit between the extent and the width/height ratio, 
specially if you have a very small margin around your largest objects in

the map. Or consider slighlty extending the extent.
