<tt>Ok, I'm not talking about "tiling" as a cache system, I know
that in webgis this is the common meaning of the word, so I will
not use it anymore :)<br>
<br>
I have a customer that asked me to implement a service that
generate in background (during night) pdf file for later print. To
do that I have encapsulated the image I retrieve via
GETDYNAMICMAPOVERLAYIMAGE in pdf file. To obtain a decent result i
have increased SETDISPLAYDPI parameter to 300 and adjusted
SETDISPLAYWIDTH,SETDISPLAYHEIGHT and SETVIEWSCALE to produce the
image I need. This work well till A3 print format. Then my
customer ask me to generate A0 pdf file with the same quality. I
explained him that it is not possible, since the image to retrieve
it simply to big for MapGuide to generate. He pointed me out that
A0 are just 8 A3 paper side by side, so what I'd should do is to
make 8 independent request to GETDYNAMICMAPOVERLAYIMAGE and then
make a collage inside PDF...<br>
The problem is that each request produce an image that is
optimized for the specific view, so the combined image does not
looks well at the border of two adjacent "tile". A label for a
polygonal feature, for example, could be render in both "tile" if
the polygon is splitted a half in and a half in another tile.<br>
<br>
I know that this is how MapGuide work and there is nothing to do.
I just wonder if in the future, could be technically possible to
have a rendering option to tell MapGuide to stylize feature
without optimization at the border of the view. I'm interested to
this not much for printing purpose, but to develop mobile
application.<br>
<br>
I'm sorry for my poor english :)<br>
