The ArcIMS map engine connector allow for a direct connection to an ArcIMS map service.

The ArcIMS map engine also allows the map service used to generate the map image to be switched depending upon a list of layers that the user has checked, this allows for switching between a PNG and JPEG image if aerial photography is enabled for example.

Notes

If an alternate map service is used the underlying AXL file must have the same layers in the same order as the original map services AXL file. Ideally they should be made from the same AXL file, but they can be different, for example if you want different renderers for the two services.

The possible values for the format are:

  • jpg
  • jpeg
  • gif
  • png

Default is png
