[mapguide-internals] tile edge effects using gdal provider in tiledmode

[Tom Fukushima]

Hi Paul,

This is a problem with the tiling code when it creates a tile with a
raster (using the Autodesk raster provider or the GDAL provider).  I
debugged into this a while back and it looks like either: 1) the
extracted image (from the source feature source) used to create the tile
is sometimes offset incorrectly (like you say, this is a rounding error)
and/or 2) the image is not being stretched to fill the whole area of the
tile (GDRenderer.cpp line 553, has comment //TODO: do we need +1?). 

I tried #2 but the lines still came up a bit faded.  Someone with more
time is going to have to look into this.

Tom

Subject: [mapguide-internals] tile edge effects using gdal provider in
tiledmode

I've got a client using the GDAL provider to render an ECW file.   
He's set up the map/viewer to use tiles rather than straight map draws
and he is getting some edge effects (white lines in this case) in his
tiles.  I've attached a small screengrab of part of the problem.

Any ideas?  Could this be a problem with the provider or is it more
likely a problem elsewhere?  Note that the edge effects do not appear on
every tile, nor on every edge of every tile, so perhaps it is a rounding
issue in tile generation somewhere?  Or in the provider?
