I'm working on a map layout engine using Python and ReportLab and have come across a problem and was wondering if anyone can give me some insight.
I'm trying to generate an image using OWSLib (see example code). The layer that I'm trying to render has an opacity of 40%. When I generate the image using the sample code the background is transparent but the features are not but if I generate the image using shp2img -m /www/cgi-bin/mapfiles/40e6b3a8.map -o test.png the features are 40% opaque. Any ideas how I can make this work using OWSLib or if I'm doing something wrong? Thank you for any help.
OWSLIB EXAMPLE CODE
from owslib.wms import WebMapService wms = WebMapService('http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?MAP=/www/cgi-bin/mapfiles/40e6b3a8.map&', version='1.1.1') img = wms.getmap( layers=['vlyr_oqiJw4Ib4U'], srs='EPSG:26910', bbox=(685400,5616300,689500,5619500), size=(800, 600), format='image/png', transparent=True ) print(img.geturl()) out = open('c:/temp/test2.png', 'wb') out.write(img.read()) out.close()
