I also hope that there will be a solution for paper print (i'm so old fashioned that i find a printed map pleasing and if it's good made aslo beautiful) But as i wrote, we have abdonned the printed maps for our planning. Here is a link to the index of the proposal http://www.miljo.viborgamt.dk/sw3780.asp The text is in danish, but one example could be "retningslinje 16" about forest, here is a link to the map http://www.miljo.viborgamt.dk/sw4196.asp and if you click on the pam, the there is a link to a new page with a interactive (MapX based) map where you can pan, zoom etc. There is also link to combined maps, eg. http://gis.vibamt.dk/arealinfo/ai_MapInclude.asp?Page=REGIONPLAN&GroupOn=218 Our legal plan document is now the map on the web, but we has delivered A0 plots to several municipalities and NGO's as a extra service The plan is in the approval process and when it's approved, we will add download in TAB and MIF, WMS and WFS access :-) Ole Gregor, Udviklingskonsulent i Milj� og Teknik Viborg Amt (45) 87 27 13 07 Bill Thoen <[EMAIL PROTECTED] m> Til [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20-03-2005 16:58 cc David Reid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'MapInfo-L (E-mail)'" <[email protected]> , "'Neil Havermale'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Emne Re: MI-L Vedr.: RE: MI-L Map2PDF....

I've had good success using PDF for E-size (44 x 34 in) plots by designing the maps for 300 dpi resolution. As long as you plan for a lower resolution your maps still look reasonably good, and generating hard copy plots is no problem. The development of PDF as an output medium is the right idea I think, and the hardware and software necessary to support large, high-res hard cpoy output will improve. > By the way, we solved our problem by moving to a entirely web based > planning, with all our maps avalible on a MapXtreme server (as web gis, > as download and WMS, with WFS in the near future) So you don't need a hard copy plot after all? - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 15730 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 15731
