[mapguide-users] Tiled map using GETMAPIMAGE

Hello *velen,*
**
I stumbled across your mapguide-users enquiry regarding point labeling with
GETMAPIMAGE. I have made a custom cache for use with my own interface, with
the exact same problem.

I wondered if you had a solution to this, or if you live with the problem
like I do. Here are some thoughts of mine on a solution.


   - Use the GETTILEIMAGE command, the drawbacks are, you are limited to
   mapguides positioning, and a hardcoded tile size of 300x300 (which is my
   tile size anyway). This is only available as a PNG as far as I know, which I
   don't like.
   - The new 1.2 mapguide is supposed to have several improvements in
   this area, so that could be worth waiting for.
   - I have tried playing with base layers to force nice labeling..
   unsuccessfully.
   - I have made my image request to GETMAPIMAGE about 2000x2000 pixels
   to limit the occurance of this problem..

If you have any thoughts on this, please get back to me.

Cheers, Brendan.
