VIEW30 "location id, "
Set View Extents
Get the map extents for the view you want to display and set the minx, miny, maxx, maxy values inside the double qoutes " " separated by coma ','.
VIEW1 "location id,minx,miny,maxx,maxy"
Adding in the Views
A Mapfile contains a WEB object. Inside the WEB object the METADATA keyword can be used to store your views and close it with an END. You can have up to a maximum of 30 views.
