[mapguide-internals] ServerRenderingService API bloated

[Trevor Wekel]

Nope.  Our modified version of SWIG still does not support default arguments.

It's because SWIG did not support default arguments at that time (a few years ago). It may do now.

For clarification:
Is there a platform with a stupid compiler that does not understand C++
default arguments?

Or is there another particular reason why the ServerRenderingService
does not use default arguments  but instead provides 3 method signatures?

Its such a hazzle to read through all this code to find out eventually
that its simply default arguments which have not been implemented as
such.....


    virtual MgByteReader* RenderMap(MgMap* map,
                                    MgSelection* selection,
                                    CREFSTRING format);

instead of

                                    MgSelection* selection,

                                    bool bKeepSelection =true ,
                                    bool bClip=false);
