[mapserver-users] symbol circle (ellipse) rendered not round but oval

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

Are you requesting your image through a WMS and maybe getting a ‘non-square pixel’ effect?

If you are using WMS, are the symbols round when you do a cgi request in mode=map or mode=tile?

Hi Thomas :)

thanks for the answer, but sadely it didnt solve my problem:

here are a few tests I did:

using GAP 20 gave me really weird result:

using PATTERN 1 22 END gave me better result, but the dot are still slightly oval:

I wondered if the visual effect may have come from the fact im pilling up two circle one over the other, but even when trying to display only the outer or inner circles, the circle are still slightly off:

http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache5_innercircle.png
(both at once http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache3_bothcircle.png)

any other idea? ^_^

hi Oliver :)

try with GAP 20 instead of STYLE 1 20 END (which is deprecated btw, use PATTERN now)

cheers,

hello

I have a weird problem with symbology.
Im rendering a line with dots, but the dots are not round but slightly oval, see image http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache.png

Any idea what could be the cause ?

Here is my symbol definition:

SYMBOL
 NAME "linie-gepunkt10"
 TYPE ELLIPSE
 POINTS
  1 1
 END
 STYLE
  1 20
 END
 FILLED TRUE
END

and my layer's class definition:

  MAXSCALEDENOM 200001
  STYLE
    SYMBOL "linie-gepunkt10"
    SIZE 10
    COLOR 102 51 0
  END
  STYLE
    SYMBOL "linie-gepunkt10"
    SIZE 8
    COLOR 204 102 0
  END
 END

and the map outputformat:

OUTPUTFORMAT
 NAME png
 DRIVER "AGG/PNG"
 MIMETYPE "image/png"
 IMAGEMODE RGBA
 EXTENSION "png"
 FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=OFF"
END
