Fantastic, thanks for the feedback everyone.

Dane,
I think it would be implemented by means of replacing the int-s with
doubles at the style and the symbol definitions and the corresponding
interfaces since AGG have already been using doubles internally in the
code.

Tamas,
Great, thanks!. I'll file a ticket then regarding the agg render
and adding
a FORMATOPTION for generating 'thinner' looking lines.
My question comes from the context of comparing Mapnik's agg output
to
mapserver. Mapnik seems to interpret user-entered fractional widths
in a
clever way, by lightening the color and intensity.
I'm comparing this graphic generated with a width=0.1 with Mapnik:
http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tutorials/hello_world/xml_config/map/hello_world_using_xml_config.png
to this graphic generated with Mapserver with Width 1.0:
http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tutorials/hello_world/mapserver_comparison/mapfile_config/map/hello_world_with_mapserver_mapfile.png
It fully possible that my mapfile is not doing an equal comparison,
so if
anyone has suggestions I've pasted it below.
Thanks,
Dane

Dane,
I think it's reasonable but would only be feasible for the AGG
renderer
though.

I can see from http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/style
that only integers are supported for the Style > Width parameter.
Are thinner lines (a float type) a possibility or have they been
considered
in the MapServer code base?
I can't find anything in trac to suggest so, but I thought to check
here
before filing a ticket.
Thanks,
Dane
