[ka-Map-users] Panning and zooming question

[Paul Spencer]

Hi,

panning without reloading the page is done by drawing the map as a 
series of small (200x200 pixel) tiles that are loaded separately.  When 
the user clicks and drags, the images are moved inside the page.  When 
one set of images are off the visible part of the map, they are moved to 
the other side and a new set of tiles are loaded.  The 'tiles' are 
rendered using MapServer and so whatever you can get MapServer to draw, 
you can display ... tileindexed raster data should work just fine. 
Overviews just make it more efficient for MapServer to render at 
different scales

The 'box zooming' is not something I am planning to add, but I will take 
contributions.
