[mapguide-users] RE: MgTileService - GetTile - Cannotestablishconnection

[Andy Morsell]

Originally I was thinking for viewing higher resolution tiles or generated
images but now realize that wouldn't help since screen resolution is 96 dpi.
But, yes, for printing purposes it could be handy.  I guess if the option is
available in the mapagent operation, it seems like it would make sense that
it would also be available directly in the API if possible.

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.
