Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver tile generation - google maps
Tilecache probably is not what you want if you have very dynamic tiles. Or at least a tile cache that is persistent. Your problem is with tile edge artifacts. It might be possible to draw on a slightly larger image than the tile, then cut the tile out of it to avoid some of those, but there are some tile artifacts that you can not get away from when you draw single tiles, like label positioning and label thinning over multiple tiles. For an alternative, you might look to mapscript where you could have more programmatic control over the rendering and do things like render a larger image than needed and cut out the tile like I mentioned. You might also write a bug against mode=tile and see what the developer response to that might be. -Steve W On 8/24/2010 8:04 AM, Wim Vanbelle wrote: For reference sake: The issue is also present when using Bing maps as overlay.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver tile generation - google maps
Hi Wim, If your data is that dynamic then there is not much advantage in using tilecache. Perhaps there is not much advantage in making tiled requests either. Applications asking for 256x256 pixel sized tiles from on-demand bases are generating rather a lot of load for Mapserver. There is an advantage on the user side because tiles are cached on the client side and panning is fluent. However, the feeling is not necessarily bad even if the client is making single tile WMS requests. With OpenLayers single tile requests used together with transition effect resize is not bad at all. Perhaps Google maps and Bing have some similar modes. Rendering and labeling problems should go away by using single tiles. -Jukka Rahkonen- -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] Puolesta Stephen Woodbridge Lähetetty: 24. elokuuta 2010 16:43 Vastaanottaja: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver tile generation - google maps Tilecache probably is not what you want if you have very dynamic tiles.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver tile generation - google maps
I have a solution to this, a client had exactly the same problem. Wanting to use tile mode, but not wanting caching, and wanting meta-tile flavored rendering results. Here is the ticket: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3323 Note that basically you render and throw away a whole metatile for every tile you output -- the system is stateless. So it's best to keep the metatiles small (2x2). But if you have the horsepower to throw at it you can get real-time metatiled output. P.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver tile generation - google maps
Hi, At first I did try with single full page requests to mapserver. However we do intend to have a fullscreen map available for our customers. Which means it will at least render 1024*768 png's. That would indicate that panning/scrolling behaviour will not be fluent, as you have indicated. We're quite pleased with the current tiling output and performance. Perhaps I will need to write a proxy that translates tiles to actual boundary requests and then add some buffer space there. Or take a look at Paul's reply :). I'll try some things tomorrow if I have the time.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver tile generation - google maps
I'll try updating GD. Thanks. TileCache is probably not an option, as the color of the data changes every minute. That would mean that tilecache has to reset its data every minute. Not sure if that is possible, or rather, wanted behaviour. OpenLayers would have been a good option, but for some odd reason the client wants the 'real google maps' interface :). In any case, thanks for your help.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver tile generation - google maps
I was using AGG for the rendering. I suppose I need to look for updates for that? ;). On 20 August 2010 14:08, Wim Vanbelle wimvanbe...@gmail.com wrote: I'll try updating GD. Thanks. TileCache is probably not an option, as the color of the data changes every minute. That would mean that tilecache has to reset its data every minute. Not sure if that is possible, or rather, wanted behaviour. OpenLayers would have been a good option, but for some odd reason the client wants the 'real google maps' interface :). In any case, thanks for your help.
