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

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
