We Can Also Help You With :

Queries and Zoom-To-Selection Handling

This is possible to change the IMS queries "zoom to results" default rendering. This is possible to zoom to a constant scale. This is also possible to add more space around results to avoid having results sticked in the map border.

Making the Queries Results and Selections Persisting On the Map

Geocoding Addresses in IMS by Using Your Own Data, Without Geocoding Extension

Setting a Minimum and a Maximum Scale and North, South, West and East Boundaries For IMS Map

Thinning the Content of the Layer Pane

This is possible:
- to show a layer on the map, but not in layer list;
- to group layers and show just one in the layer pane.
(ex: showing a drawing layer name but not it's bounded labels layer name. If the drawing is turned off, the labels layer is turned off too.)

Automatically Creating Reports From IMS Results & Streaming Reports to the User

Parsing XML IMS Results to Customized HTML Content

Using mapserver.ResultXML method is the right choice if you have to customize the results of query, info, find or hyperlink tools.

Examples:
- Adding an hyperlink to each feature's ID plus an event on this hyperlink, such as a "zoom-to-feature" event;
- Choosing which field to display in the results panel;
- Showing intrinsics (I) fields in the info tool results;
- Adding formatting & style to the tabular results;
- Building a customized and fast-displayed tooltip content from the mapserver results.
