[mapserver-users] produce hardcopy maps

[José María Michia]

Hi all.

I have worked several days, trying to get MapServer maps in vector format
(PDF, SVG), to produce printed maps. I had intended to open the maps with
Inkscape, to make the final composition with this program.

But I encounter many difficulties. Especially with:

- scale and resolution of the map
- scale of the symbols
- style of the symbols
- labels (angle = follow not work; incorrect alignment in SVG format)

As my maps are relatively small, and also need to move forward with my work,
I have decided to use the PNG format (with the driver AGG).

Is a correct decision? Or instead, should it be possible to get maps in PDF
/ SVG as these maps are seen in picture format?

Sorry for my english.
Thanks for any advice.
José María

PS: Later I hope to continue working towards bringing the maps to Inkscape.
