[Mapserver-users] need help in creating a mapfile

[Björn Platzen]

Hi Murat,

Does ArcExplorer show you any coordinates eg. when you drive with your 
mouse over a map? The upper left and the lower right edge should be 
your extend.

But I think, if you don's specify an extend, Mapserver will calculate it 
for you...

Bye,

Bjoern.

PS: A small tool to show shapefiles and get some information out of it 
(if you work with Windoze) is Blue Marbles Geographic Explorer wich can 
be downloaded here:

PS2:You should always send a copy of your message to the mailinglist 8~)
