Overview

This document describes the Rendering Service HTTP APIs supported by the MapGuide mapagent.

MapGuide 2.1 and later APIs

GetDynamicMapOverlayImage

Overview

GetDynamicMapOverlayImage returns a rendered raster image containing all visbile layers at the current center and scale for the map. This API is used in conjuction with the GetVisibleMapExtent HTTP API to provide dynamic map updates for end user interactions.

Parameters

Name Value Required Supported
In Version
Description
OPERATION GETDYNAMICMAPOVERLAYIMAGE Yes 1.0.0(+) Operation to execute
VERSION 1.0.0/2.0.0/2.1.0 Yes 1.0.0(+) Operation version
CLIENTAGENT text Optional 1.0.0(+) Descriptive text for client
SESSION session identifier Yes 1.0.0(+) MapGuide session identifier containing map to display
MAPNAME text Yes 1.0.0(+) Name of the map to display.
This corresponds to the GetName() value for the resource identifier.
FORMAT JPG/PNG/PNG8 Yes 1.0.0(+) Image format for rendered image
SELECTION XML selection text Optional 1.0.0(+) XML representing selected features generated from MgSelection.ToXml()
KEEPSELECTION 0/1 Optional 1.0.0 only If true, render selected feature(s) even if they are outside the current scale.
BEHAVIOR bitmask Yes 2.0.0(+) Bitmask representing rendering behavior. See below for more details.
SELECTIONCOLOR RGBA hex color Yes 2.0.0(+) Selection color encoded in hexadecimal RGBA format 0xRRGGBBAA.

BEHAVIOR Parameter

The behavior parameter specifies how the rendering is performed. The value is encoded as a bitmask to facilitate future enhancements to the API. One or more bits may be combined to determine overall rendering behavior.

Value Description
1 (RenderSelection) Renders the selected feature(s)
2 (RenderLayers) Renders the features on the map
4 (KeepSelection) Renders the selected feature(s) even if they are outside the current scale

Examples:

  • BEHAVIOR=3 (RenderSelection|RenderLayers) will render selection and layers within the current scale
  • BEHAVIOR=5 (RenderSelection|KeepSelection) will render only the selection regardless of scale
