Yes, the map elements should be scaled as well. Otherwise, when
printed, they appear smaller than the web-map. This is not a fun task,
because you have to worry about a layer's scale dependency, are the
labels being sized proportionally, etc. I also wonder if this is a
feature request in MapServer? Seems to be a common topic throughout the
years.<br>

Thank you for your response Flavio.<br><br>Does that mean that all sizes of map elements must be sized larger so they<br>scale with the map?<br><br>Does anyone know if this is something that is being worked on or has been a
<br>feature request? Can GD or Imagemagick scale the image to an 8 x 8 at 150<br>dpi without degrading the image?<br><br>On 3/23/06 2:30 AM, "Flavio Hendry" <<a href="mailto:flavio@TYDAC.CH">flavio@TYDAC.CH</a>
