Thomas,
When I first used AGG it was not obvious how to setup the outputformat.
It would probably be a good idea to add those outputformat infos to your
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/agg-rendering-specifics page.

Another question, I tested the new outputformat with AGG, is it
possible
to get jpg or gif image with it? If so, how can I setting up my mapfile
to realize this? Do I need special flag when building mapserver?
gif isn't supported with agg.
these are the main outputformats you can use with agg:
base outputformat, will output a 24 bit png:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME 'AGG'
DRIVER AGG/PNG
IMAGEMODE RGB
END
24 bit png, rendered on a transparent background:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME 'AGGA'
DRIVER AGG/PNG
IMAGEMODE RGBA
END
24 bit jpeg output:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME 'AGG_JPEG'
DRIVER AGG/JPEG IMAGEMODE RGB
END
png output, with number of colors reduced with quantization:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME 'AGG_Q'
DRIVER AGG/PNG
IMAGEMODE RGB
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=ON"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_DITHER=OFF"
FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_COLORS=256"
END
as for building, it will depend on your platform, but generally speaking
you'll run
./configure [...] --with-agg=/usr [...] if you're using a distro build
of agg
or
./configure [...] --with-agg=/path/to/agg-source [...] if you're using a
downloaded version from antigrain.com <http://antigrain.com> (you'll
have to build agg in the source directory before doing this. just
running 'make' should be enough)
happy to answer other questions if any (en francais aussi, si c'est plus
facile)
