Are you hoping to generate rasters at higher dpi for printing purposes?

	I just ran into a case where exposing a Set DPI method to the
	MgRenderingService::RenderMap function would be very handy and would allow
	more control by the programmer.  I hope it is a considered addition to the
	API soon.
	
	Thank you.
