Hi all. Currently, WMS layers are printed by subdividing a single WMS request (ok for display on a video) into multiple tiles. This works very well, apparently better than in several proprietary systems. One problem, however, arises: if the server adds a disclaimer (copyright text, or similar) to each image produced, when the map is printed the text is replicated for each tile, thus giving an horrible result. I do not see an easy and foolproof way of avoiding this. A couple of approaches could be: - add a setting for overlaying adjacent tiles, so that one could choose how many pixels should be hidden by the left/right/top/bottom adjacent tile; a bad hack, and fails when labels are placed in the middle of the tile - add a proprietary extension to the server, i.e. "WMS series": the client could then ask the tiles as a series, and the labels could be applied to e.g. the first tile only; this would not solve the problem for other WMS backends. Any better strategy? Thanks for suggestions and thoughts. All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini - Faunalia www.faunalia.eu Full contact details at www.faunalia.eu/pc Nuovi corsi QGIS e PostGIS: http://www.faunalia.it/calendario _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
