[mapserver-users] differing image size with different mapserver versions

[Even Rouault]

Actually, I just tried to open mapserv64.png with gimp, and export it as 
a non-interlaced or interlaced PNG. And the non-interlaced version is 60 
kB vs 96 kB for interlaced. So interlacing vs non-interlacing isn't the 
cause here.

Looking more closely at mapserv64.png  vs mapserv76.png , they are 
visually different. I suspect the rendering to be of higher quality in 
7.6 due to anti-aliasing and perhaps better quantization to 8-bit. You 
could perhaps try to turn off antialiasing in your CLASS.STYLE. This has 
been re-vived very recently for AGG line rendering. It is master only 
however.
