Description

PNG24 looks great, but is way too large for non-broadband connections. JPG has really ugly compression artifacts.

Please consider support for PNG8 as a general output format.

Yes JPG make aplication faster specifically when you use this to raster...

PNG8 support has been added to MapGuide with ticket #409.

Will be opening a new enhancement request for user-defined palletes.
