STYLE->MAXWIDTH, MINWIDTH, MINSIZE, MAXSIZE are not scaled with resolution

[aboudreault]

cnieman reported:

When we scaled these styles for print [(width/resolution)*dpi] which was, for example, in the first class of the attached sample, [(16/96)*300 = 50] and [(10/96)*300 = 31.25] we found that the ratio between the two line >widths was not consistent with what was displayed with no scaling; the line that should have >had a width of 50 was only getting drawn with a width of 32 because of the default MAXWIDTH >value. When MAXWIDTH was set using the same scaling calculation, the lines were drawn with the >correct ratio between the widths.

An example with three line styles can be downloaded at this url:  http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/attachment/ticket/2948/MAXWIDTH_example.zip

Due to the current API, that bug cannot be fixed for 5.6. We can't easily access the defresolution/resolution scalefactor in most part of the code. Also, the API will totally change in 6.0 with a lot of improvements. Changing milestone to future.

STYLE (MAXWIDTH, MINWIDTH, MAXSIZE, MINSIZE) and LABEL(MAXSIZE, MINSIZE) will have to be scaled properly with a scale factor depending on defresolution and resolution setting.

FYI I have updated the RFC to include a note about this limitation for MAXWIDTH, MINWIDTH, MAXSIZE, MINSIZE in v5.6, and that the issue should be resolved in 6.0. (r9390, r9392)

Due to another issue, this bug have been fixed at the same time. The note in the RFC about the limitation should be reversed.

See related bug:  http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3157

[aboudreault]

The limitation in the RFC has been removed. Closing this ticket.
