[Geomoose-users] Printing wms layers

Wed Nov 23 10:11:31 EST 2011

Looks like I'm using png.  

One thing I tried was to use gif in the mapbook.xml, for those WMS
layers, but while they displayed alright, the quality was awful.

What version of PNG, PNG8 PNG24, etc.

Yes, the WMS is outputting PNG.  What would be recommended instead?

Something to look at . . . 

What is the format of the images from the WMS service? 

PNG24 vs other PNG formats have caused problem in cross browser
situations.  Some versions of IE don't like one or the other for
example.

I had brought up this question before but it seems to be happening
again.  I have a few layers that I consume in GeoMoose by WMS.  Some of
these are vecot line layers such as roads.  They work perfectly in
GeoMoose map view.  But when I compose a printable map, these layers
have a black background which obscures other layers and just plain looks
ugly.  If I set the "transparent"  property to false, the black
background goes away, but then I can't see any underlying data.    

By the way, I do have control over the WMS services in this case.  I
tried to set Offsite to 0 0 0, but that didn't seem to help either.  The
WMS is at MapServer 6.0.1.  Any suggestions?
