[Carto] Overview diagram - high quality maps and memory cost

Thu Aug 27 14:52:54 EDT 2009

Dear Tyler

Our experience trying to translate several high quality maps with A3 page size from PS to PDF was terrible bad!! It's create files so huge (more than 60 Mb of size) very difficult to manage. But anyway pdf is still an option who wants only create simple maps.

HPGL is also other option but I do not know how HPGL handle layer superposition. I remembered that language was designed for pen plotters and at that time (15 years ago) it wasn't efficient managing layer superposition (the colors were combined due to it hasn't have color masking capabilities ).

Best regards
