Tiling the map is a good idea, but the problem is the symbology and
label that are drawn between 2 tiles,
with a buffer can't be possible why there is no possibility to know how
the symbol or text will be.
I'm trying to configure php mapscript to output directly in pdf with
CAIRO but with no success.
MapServer version 6.1-dev OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=CAIRO SUPPORTS=FREETYPE
SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL
INPUT=SHAPEFILE
setting output format driver CAIRO/PDF mimetype application/x-pdf
imagemode RGB and extension pdf i get this error:
[MapServer Error]: msSaveRasterBuffer(): unsupported image format
Failed writing image to /tmp/4ed5e30c_4d9_0.pdf
In php i have the support of pdflib lite enabled (PDFlib GmbH Version 7.0.5)
Is there something particular in the configuration that I'm missing to
get pdf output work correctly?
Thanks in advance
Daniele
