[Chameleon] KeyMap question

[Sears, Jeremy]

Hi Paul,
I am picking over 'drawmap.php'. There is a function defined in drawmap.php
that is also called in drawmap.php named 'DrawKeyMap()'. Near the end of the
function are the following lines:

/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
/*      draw the image and output it.                                   */
/* -------------------------------------------------------------------- */
      //  $imgObj = $oMapSession->oMap->drawReferenceMap();

      //  $szWebImage = $imgObj->saveWebImage();

...(lines 1408 thru 1413)...

You have to excuse me but Im in the process of learning php. It appears to
me that by uncommenting the two lines there, the keymap should be created
($imgObj) and the location of the keymap should be then stored in
($szWebImage). 

I have uncommented the two lines however I dont see the keymap image in my
tmp folder. Also, it would seem that nothing gets written to the $szwebImage
variable.

Have I overlooked other parts of drawmap.php that are relavent to my task?
Why does uncommenting the two above mentioned lines of code seemingly have
no effect?

Thanks
Jeremy

Jeremy, the image is returned from drawmap.php.  You can modify  
drawmap.php to save the image as well as/instead of just returning it.

Cheers
