<p class="MsoNormal">I know the GD stuff has been a long running conversation in the MapServer realm, but does this indicate that maybe discussing something on adding GD back in might be prudent? Or are there methods to get down to these previous files sizes

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Thanks to several helpful replies to my previous thread I know that the increased image size between MapServer 6 with the GD driver and MapServer 7 with the AGG driver is due to differences in anti-aliasing (and
lack of) in the two drivers. (AGG <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Grain_Geometry">
features anti-aliasing and sub-pixel resolution</a>). <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Gamma setting from 0-1 affects the size of a filled polygon layer by a factor of almost 3x. But gamma has no effect on text, lines, and polygon outlines. So images comprised of these types of features are approximately
2x larger with the AGG/PNG8 driver than with the GD/GIF driver. <o:p></o:p></p>
