[Chameleon] RE: further keymap question ...

[Sears, Jeremy]

Wicked!
You're right, drawReferencemap() is doing exactly what I needed.
Thanks again for your help!

Jeremy ... drawReferenceMap should do that for you, its a mapserver  
internal thing.  The reference map object in the map file has defined  
extents that match the geographic extents of the image and when you  
set the map extents (which is done in the session handling stuff  
automagically) and call drawReferenceMap, it automatically adds the  
current extents based on your settings in the reference map object.

If it is not adding the extents, then there may be another problem :(

Cheers

Paul
