[mapserver-users] Large scale PDF output on Windows
Hello everybody, dear Mr Anderson, on the web I found your post regarding pdf-output to scale: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2008-April/055586.html In your post you said you would supply the php-code. I'm currently working om a similar project, where I need a pdf-output to scale. Therefore I would be highly interested in your code. Would you be willing to share it. Kind regards Helmut ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Brent, If there's enough interest, I'd be willing to contribute the code changes he made if there's a Mapserver developer/committer willing to review, upgrade them to v5,and test (and it may require an RFC as there was a map file addition to OUTPUTFORMAT/FORMATOPTIONS, I think). I would be willing to review/apply patches on this. I have created a bug on this http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2596.

Re: [mapserver-users] Large scale PDF output on Windows
Kristian (and all), Back in 2005 I challenged one of our new engineers to create a 34 inch by 44 inch PDF map (with a graticule!) of a satellite image using Mapserver (v4.6). There were several problems, the most serious in mappdf.c which uses an 8-bit GD library image format restricting the images inserted into the PDF to 8 bit only (although just prior to insertion they're converted to JPEG, a 24-bit format!). One of the other problems was memory usage. Mapserver creates two or three copies of the image when rendering it to PDF (and at 300 dpi an RGB image of that size can be 500 mb). But if your format is smaller than 34 x 44, it may not be a problem. If there's enough interest, I'd be willing to contribute the code changes he made if there's a Mapserver developer/committer willing to review, upgrade them to v5,and test (and it may require an RFC as there was a map file addition to OUTPUTFORMAT/FORMATOPTIONS, I think).

Carl,
I would like to get a copy of this as well. I think this would make a
great contribution to the mapserver wiki or a mapserver HowTo if you are
willing to contribute it.
Thanks,

Re: [mapserver-users] Large scale PDF output on Windows
There is MAXSIZE for this on the MAP object: MAXSIZE [integer] Sets the maximum size of the map image. This will override the default value. For example, setting this to 2048 means that you can have up to 2048 pixels in both dimensions (i.e. max of 2048x2048). Wrt resource issues, we have seen Masperver fail (internal server errors) on such big images depending on the dataset. For instance with aerial photography (ECW) I've run into resource issues in the past. Sometimes the limit was a bit below 10.000 pixels, sometimes 15.000 went fine. It all depends how lucky you are :-) Best regards, Bart On Wed, 23 Apr 2008 07:38:24 -0400, Christopher Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 01:30:12PM +0200, Kristian Thy wrote: >> I'm trying to generate pdf output from mapserver to be printed in A3 >> format at 600 dpi (which is not negotiable).

I'm trying to generate pdf output from mapserver to be printed in A3 format at 600 dpi (which is not negotiable). We're currently using the 5.0.2 binary from ms4w, which has a limitation of 2048 px square. I have calculated I need 9921 by 7015 px output.
