Tiling the map is a good idea, but the problem is the symbology and label that are drawn between 2 tiles, with a buffer can't be possible why there is no possibility to know how the symbol or text will be.

I'm trying to configure php mapscript to output directly in pdf with CAIRO but with no success.

MapServer version 6.1-dev OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=CAIRO SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

setting output format driver CAIRO/PDF mimetype application/x-pdf imagemode RGB and extension pdf i get this error:

[MapServer Error]: msSaveRasterBuffer(): unsupported image format

Failed writing image to /tmp/4ed5e30c_4d9_0.pdf

In php i have the support of pdflib lite enabled (PDFlib GmbH Version 7.0.5)

Is there something particular in the configuration that I'm missing to get pdf output work correctly?

Thanks in advance

Daniele

Why don't you try requesting the images in a tile-based manner so that the requests are managable, and then weave them together in your software? Mapserver isn't intended to pull in tiles that big. You should be able to pull in 2048x2048 tiles just fine.

        The solution is not pumping up the memory limit of the server,

    It sounds like you have not adequately sized the server for the
    tasks you are asking it to perform. Mapserver is designed for
    performance so that it can handle requests quickly and free up the
    memory it is using for the next request. If you start swapping or
    paging data to disk that slows down all processes and can
    overwhelm the system with too many slow requests that are all
    consuming memory and not exiting as fast as new requests are
    coming in.

    If you are making an enhancement request for say making mapserver
    use less memory and temporary disk files or swap space at the cost
    of performance, then you should add a ticket to the tracking
    system. This is not a short term solution.


        Which is the best way (output format) to generate high
        resolution map
        images with full symbology support?


    I defer to Thomas on this one. But he has already mentioned that
    probably doing something like direct pdf output and converting any
    pixmap symbols into scalable symbols is the best way to go.

                Hi,
                with mapserver trunk version (but i think with others
                too) I have to
                generate very big map to be imported in a pdf file.
                I use php mapscript to generate maps with 300 dpi for
                an A1/A0 pdf page
                or bigger.
                This mean that the map has dimensions like 15000x25000
                pxl and when I
                call the MapObj->draw method i get this error:

                PHP Warning: mapObj::draw(): [MapServer Error]:
                agg2CreateImage():
                mapagg.cpp: 708: Out of memory allocating 1550851152
                bytes.

                Map server is configured with the AGG/PNG driver with
                imagemode RGBA.

                Is it normal that need so much memory to generate the
                image?


            Just for the image buffer you need 15000x25000x4 pixels =
            1500,000,000
            and AGG might actually allocate a slight larger image
            buffer so it
            does not create edge effects while antialiasing objects
            close to the
            edges. So the above request does not seem unreasonable.

                I already tryied the php ini_set memory_limit but with
                a limit of 2048M
                i still have some problem with memory.


            Try setting the limit a little higher like to 2564-3072M
            can see if
            your memory problems go away. Of course this assumes you
            have a system
            with a lot of memory.

                I checked other possible outputs but generating maps
                in pdf through
                Cairo driver but doc says that polygons filled with
                symbols are not
                supported, and for that reason I cant use it.
                SVG output has some limitations too like line drawn
                without symbols or
                pixmap symbols not supported.

                Is there a better way to generate so big map images
                and imported in a
                pdf file?

                Hope you guys can help me.
