Overriding WMS Settings for MapGuide Open Source Consumption

Configuration of WMS feature sources within MapGuide Open Source is generally done using one of the commercial (such as Autodesk MapGuide Studio) or open source (such as Webstudio) GUI's. Unfortunately, these GUI's currently do not allow the overriding of configuration information used in the WMS requests. Examples of these configuration options include:

• Image transparency
• Image format (png, jpeg, gif, etc)
• Image background color
• Coordinate system
• Displaying of multiple WMS layers in a single MapGuide layer
