v9 v10 28 28 == Motivation == 29 29 30 The GD renderer was !MapGuide's initial image-based renderer. While it does a good job, the AGG renderer now provides superior image quality, especially when it comes to anti-aliasing. The AGG renderer is now also mature in terms of stability and performance. For this reason AGG is configured as !MapGuide's default image-based renderer. As of today (7/2 4/2008) there are two reported issues involving AGG (#632and #634).30 The GD renderer was !MapGuide's initial image-based renderer.

As of today (7/28/2008) there are three reported issues involving AGG (#459, #632, and #634). 31 31 32 32 One of GD renderer's biggest issues is that it doesn't provide full support for the new stylization ([wiki:MapGuideRfc32 MapGuide RFC 14]). In particular it does not support clipped area styles. While support for this could be added, it seems like a waste of time given that AGG already fully supports the new stylization ''and'' provides better image quality. A recent RFC around raster reprojection ([wiki:MapGuideRfc32 MapGuide RFC 51]) also raised the issue as to whether GD renderer would need to be updated.
