Sorry. I don't see your point . Label placement works like always... (?)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">> What is the typical size (pixels/lines)
of the PNG?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Important point. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">* Papersize A4(210mm x 297mm ) and
A3(297mm x 420mm)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">* Maps cover about 80% of the Paper</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">* 150DPI<br>
</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">-> Approx 1,700,000 pixels for A4
and 3,400,000 pixels for A3.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">We'd like to generate bigger Maps:
More dpi, bigger papersizes.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Problem is not Mapserver but the PDF-Generator.
(Runs out of memory).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">In the case, that the generated pics
become to large for mapserver,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">one could use tiles. But this would
not solve the memory-problem of the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">PDF-generator. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">> Where is the Mapserver-generated
PNG integrated into the <br>

This is done by the Apache-FOP. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">> How do you ensure the PNG is rendered
to a specific scale (e.g. 1:50,000)?<br>
The program controls the extent of the Map (in Meters).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">The program controls the size of the
image in the PDF (in mm).</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">-> Control over the scale.</font>
