KB10817 - How to open a WMS layer using the DK or Editor product?

To open a WMS just provide the URL, like:

   GIS.Open( ‘http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi’ )

or

  ll :=GisCreateLayer ‘OneEarth’, ‘http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi’ ) ;
  if Asisgned( ll ) then
  Gis.Add( ll )

It is also possible to force a particular parameter by embedding one of the WMS request parameters. The following example forces an image format of a particular layer:

  GIS.Open( ‘http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgiFORMAT=image/jpeg&LAYERS=global_mosaic’)

With the Editor product, the URL is entered via the “Open from server” window which is opened using the menu: File/Open from sever.
