Hi Olivier,
(CCing the mapbuilder and mapserver lists because they might be
interested in this)

yep vincent,
I love your demo .
Thanks :)
I've question about mapserver, I begin to use it and I see You use too
so I ask you :
visibly we can use a context doc , do you know how?
I've saw a docs on it but this doc explains how to generate a WMC
with a map file and not how to use a context directly in place of the
mapfile, Do you know if it possible? or do you know if it possible to
generate a mapfile with a WMC?
I'm sorry, but I have never tried to do this. Actually, I don't think
it's possible because a Context file lacks some important information
for mapserver, like where a layer's data is physically stored on disk,
postgis, etc. The map file does not only configure layers like a Context
doc, but it is also the main configuration source for the mapserver
rendering engine.
That being said, there might actually be some WMC support in mapserver,
and therefore I have CC'ed this message to the mapserver list too. Maybe
one of the Mapserver users/developers can comment on this and enlighten
Olivier and the rest of us?
Do you have commit your change for the GroupLayer options in
mapbuilder trunk? because it is very useful
I have not yet committed my custom legend to trunk. I might do so when
it is more or less finished, though I think it should be more feasible
to put it somewhere on the mapbuilder site as a legend xsl example, then
to trunk as another legend renderer again. I think legend xsl/js files
are typically widgets that can be changed and adapted by any user, and
many users will have different opinions and needs about how a legend
should look and behave. However, as an example of an advanced legend
(ahum, if I may say so...) it might be good to post it somewhere.
However, if other MapBuilder developers disagree with me and think the
addition of my legend js/xsl code to trunk would be a good idea, I will
commit it.
If you would like to see my code, I can send you the files of course.
Regards,
Vincent.
Thanks for all
bye

Hi Gertjan (Olivier, I cc you so you know I have answered Gj),
I think it was me. It is a still ongoing project, but I regularly
release a demo to our client so they can review the progress. I think
it is no problem to give you the url, so you can view it too, as long
as you focus on the technology, not on the data which might not be
free (though viewing will be no problem, that's why I develop this
thing in the first place).
You can see the latest demo at
http:www.sarvision.nl/vision2/ies/greatlakes/demo11/index.html
For the thematic layer grouping I use the extension tag in the
context document, which defines the groups and which layers belong
where. It is parsed and rendered by a custom legend xslt file.
If you have more questions regarding my implementation of MB, don't
hesitate to ask.
Cheers,
Vincent.
