[Geoprisma-dev] Print server update

[Alexandre Dube]

Yves,

  Here's some comments :

  - First, see the print examples in GeoExt :
  http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/print-page.html
  http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/print-preview.html
  http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/print-extent.html
  http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/print-form.html

  - Rather than modifying the existing PDFPrint widget, I would create a 
complete new one.  Since it's a GeoExt widget directly used as it is, I 
would create a 'geoext' directory and create a 'printpage' widget in 
it.  I know some other widgets should have been inside that folder as 
well... it doesn't matter for now...

  - Looking at the examples above makes me think of a bunch of options 
the widget could have in order to be able to 'draw' the widget in every 
different way (just look at the examples)

  - I wouldn't use the 'mapfishlayertree' in the first example.  
Instead, use the GeoExt LegendPanel.  Even better, at first, don't use 
any at all.  Just concentrate on having a new print widget.

  What do you think ?

Kind regards,

Alexandre
