External image map #28

Open gkafk opened 3 years ago

gkafk commented 3 years ago

Hi Iain,

is there any option of using external image maps instead of using boundaries and colours?

Do we need WMS icon to just load a map image? Does mimport give any hope?

Thank you, George

Hi George,

Although mimport() can load an image, it is not geo-referenced - you specify its bounding box in 'paper coordinates', i.e. cm, assuming A4 paper size. So in principal it would be possible, with some work for you to get the image in just the right place, but you'd have to work out the coordinates for each zoom area. This is something we do have in our to-do list, but have not had time to tackle yet.

Best, Iain

I think its better to wait for your new supported release with geo-referenced images.

Best regards, George
