[Qgis-user] WMS-T printing issue

[Giovanni Manghi]

Dear Bernhard and Frederick,

I finally found the time to make some tests.

I tested your servers on both Linux (4gb of system RAM) and Windows
Seven (2GB of system RAM, using a Virtual Machine).

The GWC one is correctly recognized as "tiled" (the layers are shown in
the "tilestes" tab) on both QGIS 1.7.1 and trunk.

I was able to create A0 PDF outputs, adding the "Luftbild" layer and
using the QGIS pdf printer (so I didn't used any external pdf printer). 

I tested up to 300 dpi.

Under Windows with just 1GB of system RAM, when creating the A0 output
at 300dpi, qgis crashed, so it may be very well a memory problem.

I had no particular problems with the WMS server and the
"raster:jena_2008" layer, when printing to A0 at 300 dpi.


cheers

PS

yes, at 300dpi/A0 it takes a lot (10 minutes or so) to create the PDF,
but it works.
