Hi Robert, Assuming you use the mapfish print module, I can explain why the vector layers on the map are not printed:
Currently, the print module only supports printing layers that come through a WMS, such as MapServer. By hitting the “print” button in the web app, you are initiating a request to the print module with some parameters, such as an extent, the layers to be printed and some other text variables, such as title and comment etc. However, I haven’t seen or come across it sending also a whole vector layer. As far as I know, this is not implemented. I might be wrong, because I haven’t checked this in the source code, but I also haven’t seen it in the documentation. You can however print vector WMS by letting the print module request an SVG instead of raster tiles. Good luck, Tim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Buckley Sent: Sunday, 3 April 2011 8:26 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [Users] How to print vectors? Hi, I am trying to incorporate a print function into my app. The app basically shows a vector layer and creates a grid, When I try to print the mappanel the vectors are not present. Can anyone help me understand why and why this is a problem when printing? thanks, Robert ________________________________ Please consider the environment before printing this email Warning: This electronic message together with any attachments is confidential.
