How to increase resolution of image?

[Aaron Koning]

Yes, the map elements should be scaled as well. Otherwise, when printed,
they appear smaller than the web-map. This is not a fun task, because you
have to worry about a layer's scale dependency, are the labels being sized
proportionally, etc. I also wonder if this is a feature request in
MapServer? Seems to be a common topic throughout the years.
