[mapserver-users] AGG OUTPUTFORMAT Question

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi Thomas, et al,

I need to generate tiles using AGG output and need them to be 8 bit png 
images.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/agg-rendering-specifics

Does not make it clear if any of the formats shown are 8 bit png images 
and it does not note the use of:

     FORMATOPTION "PALETTE_FORCE=TRUE"
     FORMATOPTION "PALETTE=/u/data/maps/palette-agg.txt"

What is the proper way to set up OUTPUTFORMAT to use AGG to get the best 
quality 8 bit output. I think I need to use the PALETTE* options to 
control color shifts in adjacent tiles.

I would be happy to add a comment to the above link with this additional 
info.

Best regards,
   -Steve W
