[mapserver-users] What is needed to display map coordinates ?

Scott -
 
You don't need an applet to do this; although it's not (currently) a MapServer site, you can just take a look at TopoZone (www.topozone.com).  It just uses JavaScript to put coordinates in the status bar when the mouse is moved over the image, and can display them as UTM, decimal degrees, or D/M/S.  The same approach works just fine if the map image is generated by another source, such as MapServer.

	Hello,
	
	I have built the mapserver program on Solaris 2.6
	configuring it with ./configure -with-proj
	to include thr proj.4 libraries.
	
	The built went fine. We are trying to get the coordinates (UTM etc.)
	to be displayed in the status bar when the mouse moves
	over the maps.
	
	We have put in the map_applets to try to get this to work.
	
	Does mapserv need to be built with more than the proj.4
	libraries to have this functionality ?
	
	Thanks in Advance,
	
	Scott
