[mapguide-users] Rendering defect?

[Dave Wilson]

Ok that makes sense. At least the user can test your option.

I still think an enhancement request should be logged for this as I've seen this mentioned before. I recall discussing the same question with Bob Bray about 2+ years ago.

I'm not sure users really expect to see the border and I'm guessing it's probably not worthwhile to make this a configurable option. I think we should look at changing the default behavior to not display the border.

I can also log an internal defect on this to.

Regards,
Dave

If the polygon is clipped geometrically before rendering, like we see in the screenshot, there will be a border. If it is not clipped geometrically before rendering, like when one uses the RenderMap API, then there will not be the artifact we see. I understand that it is undesirable to see the border lines even if the polygon is clipped geometrically -- however this is not possible without a code change, while the suggestion I gave can potentially remove the problem without any code changes.

I don't think the issue is so much about the clipping, it's about the false border that's introduced. Users don't want a false border on the clipped polygon.

There are APIs in the rendering service for both clipped and unclipped rendering. RenderDynamicOverlay clips, while RenderMap doesn't. I'm not sure which one Fusion uses though. You can try manually issuing a RenderMap to see if you get the result you want. Using the un-clipped rendering carries a performance penalty.

Exactly, that's what I wanted to express - I'm not an native speaker
I want to be able to switch off that current behavior of MG
