SVG is really nice when you later apply the Mapfish printing.

On Thu, Apr 5, 2012 at 3:39 PM, David Winslow <[email protected]> wrote: Probably the two most used formats are PNG and JPEG. PNG is good for images with few distinct colors - typically, rendered vector data fits this profile well. To really optimize the bandwidth usage in PNG output, you can use a color palette[1]. If there are not a lot of areas of constant color (for example, serving imagery,) JPEG is probably a better option. For the case of symbolizing point graphics, PNG is probably the best option. SVG is recommended only if you need to rescale symbols, different sizes out of the same icon, which does not work as well, visually, when starting from png/jpeg Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
