[mapserver-users] Export SVG

[Maria Neywell]

Hi,

Yes it can be improved,

see my post on Mapserver development mailing list :
http://n2.nabble.com/Export-SVG-with-and-without-Mapserver-td4098474.html.



I solve the problem but without using Mapserver. I don’t know if it can be
implemented in the SVG export in Mapserver.



Regards,



Maria
