[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] imagemap not following bounding box

[Adrian Versteegen]

Hi,

I am trying to produce an imagemap using mapserver 4.8.3 cgi. The issue
is that I can't seem to make it respect the bounding box or image size
specified in the url request. 

When trying the shp2img utility with the -e flag, the extents are obeyed
and the html is produced for the restricted area.

The image and the imagemap are produced by a perl script calling the
mapserv executable with the following commands:
http://my_url/mapserver/mapserv?map="/mapserver/simple.map&version=1.1.1&service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=${layers}&bbox=${bbox}&height=${height}&width=${width}

http://my_url/mapserver/mapserv?map="/mapserver/simple.map&qlayer=name_tag&mode=nquery&searchmap=true&bbox=${bbox}&height=${height}&width=${width}

The aim being that with the bbox, height and width variables we can
alter the image to suit a particular client. This works well with the
image but the imagemap insists on sticking to the size and extent from
the original map file.

How do we make the imagemap use the bounding box and size restrictions?
Or am I going about it the hard way and should be using mapscript?

Thanks,
Adrian
