Bob,
In the past I've dabbled with having layers to " erase"the map data
around the perimeter:
LAYER
NAME "Margin"
TRANSFORM FALSE
STATUS DEFAULT
TYPE POLYGON
CLASS
COLOR 255 255 255
END
FEATURE
POINTS 0 0 0 600 70 600 70 0 0 0 END
POINTS 70 0 70 70 800 70 800 0 70 0 END
POINTS 70 600 800 600 800 530 70 530 70 600 END
POINTS 730 70 730 530 800 530 800 70 730 70 END
END
END
#-----------------------------------------------------------
LAYER
NAME "NeatLine"
TRANSFORM FALSE
STATUS DEFAULT
TYPE LINE
CLASS
COLOR 0 0 0
END
FEATURE
POINTS 70 70 70 530 730 530 730 70 70 70 END
END
END
Also I've experimented with adding FORMATOPTIONs to OUTPUTFORMAT code
(see

How big do you plan to make your maps? Will they include imagery?
Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

All,
Anyone have any insights into using/modifying MapServer to label maps
collar wise (along the edges)??
I’m interested in applying USNG collaring to maps in general as a grid
overlay. I’m pretty sure I ca do this with PERL, but all the
re-projection capabilities in MapServer make it much more attractive.
There are also quite a fe desires finishing options that I would like
to include related to rotation and alignment. I’m open to applying the
collar on or off (outside of ) the map itself.
I’ve worked with both the ESRI and AutoDesk tools for accomplishing
the same results as well. AutoDesk has a fairly well thought out XML
file format for defining the grid labeling, it’s almost SLD-ish as a
matter of fact. I’ve also been involved in a couple of Javascript
mashups to provide USNG overlays to maps, but they aren’t hardcopy
centric, which is what I need to focus on.
Thanks
Bobb
