<span class="gmail_quote"></span>Hi all, <br><br> Iīve been successfully converted vmap0 data from VPF to shapefiles.<br> After tests on mapfile, i noted that boundary lines are very crispy. <br> No matter what i do, they donīt look well...
<br><br>
In very curvy places the dash donīt obey the gap.<br> In other hand, solid line is vertically very thin...<br> I tried the cartoline, but was worse than ellipse!<br><br><br> Iīm using PNG rather than JPG. <br>
But had the impression that I'm missing something...<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Crispy one: <a href="http://img77.imageshack.us/my.php?image=crispy8ik.png" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
