[mapserver-users] SVG

[ANDREW WOOLEY]

I think this is a good idea.  I wonder if this will allow the web user to print out better quality maps than just a JPG or PNG.  Is that the case?  If so, I would really welcome such an addition.

Hello,

I am thinking about adding SVG ( Scalar Vector Graphics ) to mapserver.  
My questions are:

1. Is someone already doing this?  There was some talk on the mailing in 
Oct 2000 but I  did not see a conclusion.
2. Is it a good idea?  I think it is since we would like to use it 
ourselves.
3. What approach would be best.  I have looked at the code and have some 
ideas but I am a far cry from an expert on mapserver.

If I can come up with a good solution I will release back to the 
mapserver community.  Also I would be glad to pitch in and help anyone 
that has started with solution.  I will even try to comment the 
code.  :-)

Thank you,
David
