[mapserver-users] Displaying and printing GIS data with mosaicked ECW images

[Rainer Kalliany]

Dear all,

For a web-based GIS application (forest-management) we are implementing
a solution based on MapServer and ka-map. There are 2 critical issues:

1) The system has to cope with huge number of high-resolution
    orthophotos in ecw format.

2) Printing/plotting on small desktop printers and/or large plotters.

Our current questions are in particular:

ad 1) If (and how) we may introduce one or more levels of intermediate
       resolution. The generation of such data is no problem, but how
       to organize it properly ?

ad 2) Shall we use shp2img.exe for printing and is it possible to start
       it inside ka-Map application (with the option to continue after
       printing). Or should we use print_map.php shipped with ka-map -
       (our first test did not print the ecw images ...)

Can anybody provide us with hints and possible ideas for those issues ?
we would be most gratefule for any useful information
