It's up to the user. Suppose the real GIF is 600 x 550 pixels. For some zoom level, the browser might have to rescale to 300 x 200 pixels in order to fit the bounding box. At the next higher zoom level, it would have to be rescaled to 600 x 400 pixels. At the next lower zoom level, it would have to be rescaled to 150 x 100 pixels. The animation will be faster if the browser does not have to rescale the GIF but it will still work if the browser does rescale the GIF. If the CPU is fast enough, it may not really matter. The browser does pixel "replication" rather than interpolation which results in blocky appearance rather than smooth transitions. The server can improve it with interpolation. IE7 has an interpolation capability but Firefox does not. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
