RE: [mapguide-users] Silverlight/Moonlight Viewer
Hi All The reason that MG6.5 was great in 1996, is as valid today as it was then. When the rest of the industry said you could only use raster as a web client, Mapguide proved that you could do it with vector. Raster and Ajax is great if you want to do public websites and shings that do not have to be live, but as GIS moves into mission critical status at utilities, with many layers and huge datasets, tiling and raster just does not cut it. We are in the process of migrating from 6.5 (like Carl) and would be very interested in a vector viewer, whether it is silverlight or another technology. (Interestingly that is also where some others in the industry are moving toward). What would be the process to move this into a design direction. If Carl and others are willing to contribute we could look at that from our side as well.

[mapguide-users] Maestro and Search
Hello everyone. I'm using Maestro 1.0.9 with Mapguide 2.0.2 and want to search or query by an ID number. I have looked at the example data and search was working fine but query wasn't. Even the example on Mapguides site wasn't working for me(or maybe I just don't know what I'm doing) For the most part I have been using Fusion for my personal data since it's very easy to use. My question is does Maestro have a built in feature for creating a search or query? If not then what's the easiest way to include this in my map? Is it easier with Fusion or the Java/php viewer. I haven't found much on this so that's why I'm asking the questions. I'm very new to this so sorry in advance. I just would really like to search for a parcel by a simple 4 digit number and haven't had much luck figuring it out with fusion and Maestro. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Maestro-and-Search-tp2374188p2374188.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users

RE: [mapguide-users] Silverlight/Moonlight Viewer
Hi Carl, MGOS supports an image type of PNG8, which automatically reduces the bit depth of images from 24 to 8 bits as they are rendered. This can't really be used with tiled images though because each tile would have a different palette. I think that Zac did some experimentation running third-party compression tools over his tile cache?

Re: [mapguide-users] Silverlight/Moonlight Viewer
There have been some potential improvements in the performance of the AJAX viewer in MapGuide 2010. One issue that has been a problem though as I have heared reported from others in the company is the matter of image compression. This hits performance on both the AJAX and DWF viewer simply because the images being sent across the internet are larger than in MapGuide 6.5. I have not been personally involved in investigating this so don't have all the details. I was just curious given that this thread suggested that someone might try and work on a replacement for the DWF viewer in Silverlight. If nothing has come of that then that answers the question. In reference to the last post, in terms of performance I had in mind a viewer which wasn't using image tiles at all rather was rendering the DWF on the client directly as the ActiveX plugin does. This would be a big undertaking as essentially you would need a component to parse DWF and another to graphically render it. Finally you would need to add the MapGuide control to this component to handle things like the menus and exposing the client API. If a Silverlight viewer were used that just used the Image Tiles like the AJAX viewer then I suspect the performance might not be so much different. If the key performance issue is bandwidth and time taken to transmit image tiles across the internet that will be an issue regardless of the client side technology rendering those tiles. I might fear also that if the DWF view is not going to be supported anymore there might also be a case for pulling the plug on supporting transmitting the map image data from the server in DWF form too. If that becomes the case a new viewer replacement viewer to take the place of the ActiveX control becomes useless. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Silverlight-Moonlight-Viewer-tp1812471p2371322.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
