[mapserver-users] insert png image in svg output

[Barend Kobben]

Hi,

I do not use the mapserver SVG output much myself, mostly because last time
I tried (over a year ago), the SVG output was not very good. It lacks
graphic quality in that it does not really use the possibilties of SVG like
I'd wish. But I am quite a bit biassed, firstly because I'm  the WMS
interface and secondly because we have our own RIMapperWMS that is a WMS
exlusively for SVG output (kartoweb.itc.nl/RIMapper/)...
