[mapserver-users] Symbol Image Quality

[Robert Sanson]

Hi Adam
 
What pixel dimensions are your image symbols? If they are not already scaled to an appropriate size for display on a map, Mapserver has to downsample them to fit in with the overall image dimensions of your map (eg. 512x512), within which your sumbols might only occupy a very small size - say 16x16 pixels. That is likely the issue here. You need to have symbols that are clear at these sizes.
 
Regards,

Hello all,

I am creating a symbol layer which uses images as the symbols. The images themselves are fairly high quality, however, when mapserver renders the images, they are losing a significant amount of that quality. I am using 24 bit pngs but they don't seem to get the job done. What are the other rendering alternatives that could get a better output?
