[MapProxy] Rounding error in clipped WMS requests Was: (no subject)

[Carpenter, Tim]

Thanks, Oliver.

I just applied your patch to my environment and that has cleared up the
issue.

Yes, you're certainly right that WMS-C would make more sense.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi,

see https://github.com/mapproxy/mapproxy/issues/48

My comment from the ticket:

It is a rounding error indeed. You are requesting a tile that is not
completely within the boundaries of the grid (362800 vs. 350000) and
MapProxy clips the source to that boundary in the WMS service. That
clipping used floats for calculation that were converted to integers
later (for PILs Image.paste), but the size calculation still used the
floats and that resulted in one missing pixel line (int this case).

It is now fixed in b9deb20.

But I guess that you don't want to have this clipping at all if you are
requesting tiles, since it will open, modify and save the tile for each
request (at least for the first tile row in the north). So you should
force MapProxy to use WMS-C with thetiled=True option. This will make
sure that MapProxy won't modify any tiles
(seehttp://mapproxy.org/docs/nightly/services.html#wms-c)

the map images. See WMSTileEdge.png. The attached file WMSTile.png has a
1px transparent line along the bottom edge where there should be data.

stop them happening but the effect is that the content outside of the
boundary of the WMS becomes opaque which looks bad as well.
