Yes, I've always found the background color setting odd with the OGCServer, but I assume that is it simply matching the WMS spec.
To get the standard OSM background color, you need to send the HEX color in the Query string, but replace the '#' with '0x', so something like: BGCOLOR=0xb5d0d0 Also note the additional variable you can send of TRANSPARENT=<bool> Lastly, keep in mind that although the OGGServer is a bit buried in the Mapnik code base, it simply a few python scripts and you should (as others should) feel free to peek inside and provide patches for additional functionality: http://trac.mapnik.org/browser/trunk/bindings/python/mapnik/ogcserver Dane On Nov 7, 2009, at 1:06 AM, John Mitchell wrote: > Hi, > > I have been using the Mapnik OGC server to display open street map > data and it looks identical to tiles that I generated via > generate_tiles.py except that the background instead of the being > blue is white.
