Hi,<div><br></div><div>I'm very happy that mapserver is now capable of server side clustering. However I wonder if it's possible to completely get rid of the tile clipping.</div><div><br></div><div>Currently I've clustered a point layer with 44k points:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div> CLUSTER</div><div> MAXDISTANCE 100</div><div> REGION "ellipse"</div><div><br></div><div> END</div></div><div><br>
</div><div>It is displayed with a simple image:</div><div><div> STYLE</div><div> SYMBOL "small_shaded.png"</div><div> SIZE 21</div>
<div> OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0</div><div> END</div></div><div><br></div><div>However, when viewing this on google maps, the images are often clipped at the tile edges.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I figured that I could solve this with mapcache:</div><div><br></div><div><div> <tileset name="ld"></div><div> <source>ld</source></div><div> <cache>disk</cache></div>
<div> <grid>g2</grid></div><div> <format>PNG</format></div><div> <metatile>2 2</metatile></div><div> <metabuffer>30</metabuffer></div><div> <expires>3600</expires></div>
<div> <auto_expire>2592000</auto_expire></div><div> </tileset></div></div><div><br></div><div>i've tried higher values for metatile and it helps a bit, but the problem simply shifts location. Also with higher values (eg 5 5 metatile) mapserver doesn't return the tiles on time for mapcache and I get gaps in my results.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Would preseeding the data help with the timeouts? Any other solutions that I may try? The metadata parameter for tile_edge buffer only works with labels as far as i know.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance, this issue has been troubling me for some time now :).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Wim</div><div><br></div>
