Re: [mapserver-users] Min/max pixelsize vs. min/max scaledenom

Hey there, yes, that's me again :-) I'm currently poking around in map rendering software like mapserver and mapnik. I'd like to find out how I can organize my map publishing scheme most efficiently. It seems I'm hitting the same spot with all rendering softwares. I wrote my mapserver

Hi, Not quite identical because I can write my suggestion shorter. I think that this was my meaning: If I set MINPIXELSIZE in a mapfile, let Mapserver to multiply it by 2834.645669 and use the result as MINSCALEDENOM and do the same thing with MAXPIXELSIZE and MAXSCALEDENOM. I am not sure
