Hi, (Re-sent as edited to mailing list because the body was originally too long.
Are you sure about “I actually found that 6.4 produced small, aliased images with both the GD and AGG drivers”. Originally the AGG library could only do anti-aliasing and that affected also Mapserver 5 https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2007-September/025467.html. I guess that Mapnik folks have since that added support for controlling anti-aliasing with gamma setting http://mapnik.org/mapnik-reference/. I can see that gamma can be used also with Mapserver https://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/outputformat.html Have a try with gamma=0. However, Even wrote that turning off antialiasing is possible only in master, so perhaps gamma=0 does not work. The documentation for Mapserver 5 tells that “All ANTIALIAS keywords are now ignored". But the keyword still appears in quite a many places: https://mapserver.org/search.html?q=antialias Would it be time to remove them as well as now not useful references to GD renderer (removed by RFC 99 in 2013)? -Jukka Rahkonen- Lähettäjä: mapserver-users <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Puolesta Richard Greenwood Lähetetty: maanantai 17. toukokuuta 2021 15.26 Kopio: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] differing image size with different mapserver versions Thanks for the suggestions. The consensus seems to be that anti-aliasing is causing the increased size. The documentation here<https://mapserver.org/output/antialias.html> says "Since version 6.0, MapServer will produce aliased output for the “gd/” drivers, and antialiased output for the “agg/” and “cairo/” ones" and it's also mentioned here<https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/2012-April/072011.html> in Thomas Bonfort's reply. I actually found that 6.4 produced small, aliased images with both the GD and AGG drivers and regardless of my ANTIALIAS true/false setting. Would anyone consider re-enabling the ANTIALIAS true/false option? Thanks, Rich
