[Chameleon] RE: Measuring Distances.....

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

1) Chameleon has a Ruler widget that can be used to measure distance. 
See the sample with enhanced widgets. It's the little ruler beside the 
panning tool.

2) TECHRELEASE widgets have been tested and reviewed by the team in the 
inital release of Chameleon 2.0. BETA widgets were still in development 
at the time and less time have been involve in the testing of those. 
That's the only difference. You can be fairly confident that BETA widget 
are working perfectly. Most of the time ALPHA widgets have not had 
enough feedback from the community to be move to BETA.

3) Which information do you want to export? There's the PrintProduction 
widget that can create a PDF for you.

4) See the projection documentation in the mapserver doc. You can 
probably find there all the information you need:
