why don't you just put all your hotspot tiffs into an image catalog (strangely called 'tileindex' in mapserver). And then use this tileindex shapefile for zooming to the desired initial extent, using the functionality to start the application zoomed onto an initial extent (there was a posting 2 days ago with regard to this function).
this functionality requires currently pmapper version 1, it's not included in version 2 yet. Since you do not mention which one you are using (as at least half of all others on this list), I cannot say if this is then working for you. armin > --- Urspr?ngliche Nachricht --- > Von: "Dejan Gambin" <dejan.gambin at pula.hr> > An: <pmapper-users at faunalia.it> > Betreff: [Pmapper-users] Dynamic map creation in pmapper > Datum: Wed, 17 May 2006 21:24:47 +0200 > > Hi, > > I have an imagemap with 100 hotspot areas.
