[Chameleon] RGB Map Output and Keymap Problems

[Rene Teniere]

Paul,

Unfortunately, that did not work. It is still outputting in 256
colours, not RGB values. You should know that I am using the sample as a
testbed for my data to make sure everything works.

Rene,

try imagetype png24, you should not need the outputformat object.

as for the keymap, if everything is right, then it should line up.  It

is somewhat tricky to get all the pieces right though, I will be 
evaluating different options for the keymap to simplify it in January
(I 
hope).  In the mean time, look at the relative sizes of the map and 
keymap, the extents, and the projection of the extents ... make sure 
that the values are the same everywhere.

Cheers,

Paul
