Tamas,

Great, thanks!. I'll file a ticket then regarding the agg render and adding a FORMATOPTION for generating 'thinner' looking lines.

My question comes from the context of comparing Mapnik's agg output to mapserver. Mapnik seems to interpret user-entered fractional widths in a clever way, by lightening the color and intensity.

I'm comparing this graphic generated with a width=0.1 with Mapnik:

http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tutorials/hello_world/xml_config/map/hello_world_using_xml_config.png

to this graphic generated with Mapserver with Width 1.0:

http://mapnik-utils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tutorials/hello_world/mapserver_comparison/mapfile_config/map/hello_world_with_mapserver_mapfile.png

It fully possible that my mapfile is not doing an equal comparison, so if anyone has suggestions I've pasted it below.


Thanks,

Dane

Dane,

I think it's reasonable but would only be feasible for the AGG renderer though.


Best regards,

I can see from http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/style
that only integers are supported for the Style > Width parameter.

Are thinner lines (a float type) a possibility or have they been considered
in the MapServer code base?

I can't find anything in trac to suggest so, but I thought to check here
before filing a ticket.

Thanks,

Dane
