We need to create 8-bit PNG images in MS 6.0 that have one single colour
(white) designated as transparent with all other colours as 100% opaque.
Using the GD driver with PC256 works well with vectors but not with fonts
(see
http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Font-rendering-in-MapServer-6-0-td6555935.html
). Using the AGG driver with quantization creates nice images but with
semi-transparent colours, a feature Internet Explorer 6 tends to butcher. Is
there another option?
As an example, right now we're using this as our output format to create the
image that follows:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME png8
DRIVER "AGG/PNG8"
MIMETYPE "image/png; mode=8bit"
IMAGEMODE RGBA
EXTENSION "png"
FORMATOPTION "INTERLACE=off"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=on"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"
TRANSPARENT ON
END

What we need is the following image (created using GD and PC256):

Is this possible in MS 6.0?
