Hello everybody! I've build external overviews, both with raster and vector data, put them into layers with MIN-/MAXSCALE and it works like a charme. My only problem is that I can not get the switching of those layers transparent to the user. A "GetCapabilities"-WMS-Request returns all layers separately. But it makes no sense for the user to turn only one layer on/off. Instead the only useful thing a user can do is switching the hole _group_ of detail/overview layers on/off. So is there a way to only show the hole group as _one_ single layer in a WMS with mapserver? The WMS specs (v1.3.0) suggests that only the group layer should have a name, the single detail/overview layers should not. Therefore only the group layer can be contained in a WMS request and should be shown by a WMS client as one single layer, I think.
It would be nice to make external overviews appear as transparent as GeoTIFF's internal overviews... Any tipps, suggestions, help? Thanks a lot! _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
