[mapguide-internals] PNG8 color quantization problem

[UV]

The RFC60 was intended to correct the quantization errors of the color 
table between adjoining map tiles.
To understand your ticket # 1518 better it would be important to know 
how the images were created.

So please augment the ticket with the relevant information:
1. How is the map generated (which api calls are used)
2. How is the map structured. (layers and such)
3. Provide a sample map.
Given this information it should be easy to assess how the concepts of 
RFC60 can be applied to our use case.
 From your ticket desription I only get that the color quantization is 
wrong.... which is no news as we had to fix it before.

The work on RFC60 showed that the used quantization algorithm used to be 
completely detached from the map definition in
the rendering service causing those quantization errors.
RFC60 used an analyzation pass of the layer definitions to create an 
explicit base color table of the map which is then passed on to the 
renderer service to preserve those colors during the color quantization. 
This has been applied to the use case we had then.

I can imagine that rfc60 logic can be easily be applied to your use 
case, but this use case needs to be provided more specific
so it can be mapped to the inner workings of the mapguide server.
I am currently not able to understand your problem sufficiently to act.
