Hi,

The usual 'size' in an SLD is pixels for the generated bitmap, while one
can select geoserver extension unit of measurements, which relate to
'real' measurements of what is being rendered (e.g. this would be X
meters wide in reality).

I wonder if any thought has been given to a unit of measurement
definition that is not pixel-based, but specifies the size of rendering
as will be seen on the target device? for example, a specific feature
would be always 2mm wide on the target device.

the reason is that pixel per inch (ppi) metrics are very different for
different display devices - even among PC monitors, but if one takes
high-res mobile devices into account, the ppi values can be very
different based on each device.

this would of course require knowledge about the ppi of the target
device, which info could be sent by the device as part of the WMS
request sent to GeoServer.

has this issue been raised before? if so, what was the conclusion at
that time?

best regards,


Akos
