= Overview =
This document describes the Rendering Service HTTP APIs supported by the !MapGuide mapagent.  The Rendering Service APIs are used to render a map into a bitmapped image.  In addition to bitmap rendering, the APIs support basic updates to the underlying !MgMap object state including changes to center, scale, and layer visibility.

== !GetDynamicMapOverlayImage ==#GetDynamicMapOverlayImage2.1
=== Overview ===
!GetDynamicMapOverlayImage returns a rendered raster image containing all visbile layers at the current center and scale for the map.  This API is used in conjuction with the !GetVisibleMapExtent HTTP API to provide dynamic map updates for end user interactions.
