[mapguide-internals] Re: TCPDF based plot solution

[Mars Wu]

Hi Jackie,

Thanks for the feedback. 
Regarding the DPI of the plot, what the prototype showed is: PDF doesn't compress (at least we can control it) the image so that the image size fits the size of the document. That means if I stuff an 300dpi image into a A4 PDF, the image resolution will be 3508 pixel x 2480 pixel (I confirmed that by copying the image out of the PDF and paste it in MS Paint). So I guess this solution can handle the high DPI plot.

Thanks,
Mars

Having said that, the TCPDF does sound like a decent one for the short-medium term (long term, we should definitely have a dedicated SE_Renderer). All MG installations will have PHP included regardless of installation choice so no problems there.

Would this still choke on high DPI plots? I'd think so since we're still instructing the rendering service to give us an image, but we now stuff it inside a PDF correct?
