Thanks for your reply Roger André, But i specified my own outputformat in mapscript. When using this outputformat without the quantize options, the image comes out as wished and configured. (transparent and fullcolor) When using this outputformat with the quantize options on: -with the CGI mapserv.exe (and the saved mapfile from mapscript) the image is as configured. (transparent and all needed colors in a small png) -with mapscript, the mapobj.draw(), the image is crippled and not as wished.(not transparent, black lines are strange and labels are disapearing) It should be equal to CGI.
I do'nt know why this difference between mapscript and mapserv.exe exists with the same configuration of mapfile. Has someone an idea? I tested this on MS4W 2.29 (mapserver 5.2.0) and MS4W 3.0 (mapserver 5.4.2) Greetings Gerben ________________________________________ Van: Roger André [[email protected]] Verzonden: donderdag 5 november 2009 19:55 Aan: Tiemens, Gerben CC: mapser all users Onderwerp: Re: [mapserver-users] mapserver vs mapscript: agg + transparency + quantize not working Hi Tiemens, Not sure if this helps, but in some of the testing I did with Python mapscript, I specified the following in my code: map.selectOutputFormat("AGGPNG24") That seemed to do the trick for me. The script is inline below, in case it might help give context.

Currently I am facing the earlier mentioned problems of agg + transparent images + quantization. Is the new MS4W compiled with the quantization options? The image background is now Black. The labels are dissapearing. It should be an image wich is completly transparent with some colored lines and some black labels. Setting the imagecolor will not help me. Images without quantization options on, are perfect and beautiful png's. What I am using now is this: MS4W 3.0 Beta 7 which contains Mapserver 5.4.2 C# mapscript Mapfile is completely written in C#, so all default options apply.

So if I set imagecolor 99 99 99 transparent = true And outputformat to: OUTPUTFORMAT NAME "PNG_mapscript" MIMETYPE "image/png" DRIVER "GD/PNG" EXTENSION "PNG" IMAGEMODE "RGBA" TRANSPARENT TRUE FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=on" FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256" FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_NEW=on" END The image appears grey. The black labels with white backgroundcolor and black shadowcolor in original image are mapped to: white background with gray outline characters and transparent filling and the shadow is grayoutlined with transparent filling. Probably the antialiasing generates the grey outline, the black filling is converted to transparent. Something is going wrong. If I set output format to: OUTPUTFORMAT NAME "PNG_mapscript" MIMETYPE "image/png; mode=24bit" DRIVER "AGG/PNG" EXTENSION "PNG" IMAGEMODE "RGBA" TRANSPARENT TRUE FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=on" FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_DITHER=off" FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256" END The same applies for the text/labels, but background of the image is now black in all circumstances (no matter what color of imagecolor setting. --------------------------------------------------- Further research drills down to where the problem may occur: If i test my saved mapfile from mapscript into the apache/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe The image is coming out as it should be. Transparent background, features like it should be, and text also as it should be., but if I use the draw() method from mapscript, it comes out crippled. Am i doing something wrong in mapscript? Are there configurations that I may miss in mapscript that are default in mapserv.exe? I also do'nt know if this is a problem of Mapserver or MS4W, therefore crossposting it.
