[mapserver-users] RE: Smaller polygon sizes when using mapserver 5.4.1 compare to 5.2.0

[Nikolai Nikolov]

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks to Thomas Bonfort I have resolved the issue of the smaller polygons -
he advised me to define the OUTLINECOLOUR with the same as COLOUR for the
polygon layer in the map file and it works.  I wonder what has changed in
the new Mapserver version 5.4.1?

 

However, the issue with the "background rectangle (i.e. billboard) shadow"
created using BACKGROUNDCOLOR in the LABEL definition is still unresolved.  

 

I have two different maps one using DRIVER AGG/PNG in the OUTPUTFORMAT
definition and another with DRIVER GD/PNG.  For the first one I have the
problem with BACKGROUNDCOLOR size, in contrast, in the other (GD) map, the
size is good, i.e. the same as for Mapserver 5.2.0 (regardless of the use of
AGG or GD).  I have not changed the AGG library or any other library, only
the Mpserver code.

 

Thanks,

Nick

Subject: Smaller polygon sizes when using mapserver 5.4.1 compare to 5.2.0

 

Hi everyone,

 

I've just upgraded one of my test servers from 5.2.0 to 5.4.1.  I have an
issue there and I wonder whether anybody have noticed it.  My map polygones
seems to be fractionaly smaller (compare to those drawned by 5.2.0).

 

I am using the same maps, map files, PHP scripts, etc.  The plygons which
belong to the same layer, do not quite well "fit" with each other - their
borders match perfectly before the upgarde to 5.4.1.

 

Also, I use BACKGROUNDCOLOR in my map file to create shield like square
behind a label.  Those squares are now significantly smaller too. 

 

I wander what causes this effect and what I should do to achieve the same
image as with 5.2.0?

 

Thanks,

Nick
