[mapserver-users] AGG Rendering problem

[Tony Baylis]

Thanks to Rahkonon and and Paul for their responses but neither solved 
the problem.  I eventually moved a map from my existing working 
mapserver/agg instance to the rebuilt one and after doing the required 
bits to point it at the right data IT also did not work in AGG rendering 
mode.

I then removed all layers and started adding them back to the map one by 
one to see if it was a problem with the layer setup somewhere...sure 
enough one of the layers was referencing a symbol in the symbolset that 
AGG obviously dislikes.  Once I removed the 'SIZE' criteria from the 
'STYLE' AGG rendering worked.  Since putting the original map together I 
have created another (better) symbol for this object and using this all 
is working well.

So there you have it...a symbol working with standard rendering but not 
with AGG, the result being the application seemed to lose connection.

If jpeg2 works you know that Mapserver if using your own imageformat because otherwise image/jpeg2 would not be recognised. Then rename AGG MIMETYPE to image/jpeg and see if the output now seems to be generated by AGG.
