[Geomoose-users] Printing wms layers

[Mark Volz]

Hello,

I have had some issues printing, particularly from ArcServer.  Here are a couple things that I might try:


1)      Make sure that the WMS is in the same projection

2)      Used a lower image quality.  ArcServer would not serve images that are in the highest quality.

3)      If the WMS server is a Mapserver, make sure MAXSIZE is set

4)      I had issues when preserve scale was set to no.  Try changing that value to Yes (preserve)



Hope it helps.

Thanks Jim.  Yeah, I can't understand it either- the display is perfect in the application, it's just the print map where I have this problem.  This occurs with the pdfd, html and image options, so it's not limited to pdf, as I originally thought.  I've been trying to examine the php files, but does anyone know how the map image goes from application window to print?  Apparently, not just copying the image.

PNG is good. Don't use IE6.. It can't handle PNG24 with alpha.

Not sure what that has to do with printing though as that all happens on the server in PHP.

Yes, the WMS is outputting PNG.  What would be recommended instead?

Something to look at . . .


What is the format of the images from the WMS service?


PNG24 vs other PNG formats have caused problem in cross browser situations.  Some versions of IE don't like one or the other for example.

I had brought up this question before but it seems to be happening again.  I have a few layers that I consume in GeoMoose by WMS.  Some of these are vecot line layers such as roads.  They work perfectly in GeoMoose map view.  But when I compose a printable map, these layers have a black background which obscures other layers and just plain looks ugly.  If I set the "transparent"  property to false, the black background goes away, but then I can't see any underlying data.

By the way, I do have control over the WMS services in this case.  I tried to set Offsite to 0 0 0, but that didn't seem to help either.  The WMS is at MapServer 6.0.1.  Any suggestions?
