[mapserver-dev] Question on SVG symbol sizes

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi Thomas,

I think this is working now. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I 
resized the files in Inkscape and saved them and now they seem to be 
scaling based on the MINSIZE, MAXSIZE paramaters. It is likely the 
Inkscape modified or deleted some problematic tags in the svg file.

If I have the original files still here, I'll look at the XML and see if 
anything obvious stands out.

Meanwhile, I want to convert all my POI/Landmark symbols to SVG.

I also use an image file for the country borders that is basically a 
wide white line with a smaller black line down the center. I can 
probably just replace that with two styles like for wide roads.

At that point, all the symbols and styles should be scalable so 
generating a PDF or print image with higher output resolution should 
work great.

If you have a chance, can you look at my patch on #4247 and check it in 
if it looks ok to you.

Thanks,
   -SteveW
