I've set maxsize to 24000 in my .map file to plot WMS layers at 600dpi on a 40" wide plot without a problem. <br>

To increase the maximum size that MapServer will generate, add the MAXSIZE keyword to you mapfile (in the MAP section)<br>
<br>
eg<br>
<br>
MAXSIZE 8000<br>
<br>
<br>

<ul><font face="Calibri">Hello all, I am trying to figure out a way I can use Mapserver to print out a large image, one that will look good coming off a plotter (probably around 300 dpi).<br>
<br>
There is an open ticket (</font><a href="http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-55.html"><u><font color="#0000FF" face="Calibri">http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-55.html</font></u></a><font face="Calibri">) for something somewhat related but it offers some good advice on what I am trying to do, however the maximum size that Mapserver allows you to request is 2048 x 2048, and my current viewport is 757 which scales like: 757 (old size) * 300 (new resolution that is good for 300 dpi according to ticket) / 72 (old resolution) = 3154.1666666666666666666666666667 which is way to big to request from Mapserver.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have experience with this? <br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
