MGOS 2.4 RC1: Quick Plot Scaling Issue

[JanvW]

Hello,
I've done some tests with the Quick Plot tool: When I print a map with a fixed scaling (for example 1:500), the printed map is always 10% to 20% too big. I measure a line in the viewer and compare it with the printed line. I made sure to fix the printer's scaling to 100% when printing, so that it doesn't adjust to the paper size, but still: The printed map is always too big.
Maybe I am missing here something? Any thoughts?

Regards,
Jan

I confirm that I have exactly the same problem. Unfotunatelly I have no workaround. I think it's a bug.

can you reproduce it with the sheboygan sample?

Yes, I used the Sheboygan example for the tests.

I'd look at plotting to DWF or backporting the Fusion PDF plotting in RFC124 if you care about print accuracy.

Hi Jackie,

Are they options for AjaxViewer?..

Before you can generate the image, you need to set the map.DisplayWith and DisplayHeight first. They seem to be 0/empty.
I had the same error when I tried to select features from a map, and setting those solved the issue.

Best regards Hans Milling...

For Ajax Viewer I've had some success by changing the number "25.4" twice in line 49 of quickplotgeneratepicture.php:
$printSize   = new Size($paperSize->width / 25.4 * $printDpi, $paperSize->height / 25.4 * $printDpi);
For example, with my configuration I get correct scaled prints on A4 portrait by replacing the "25.4" with "33.4". For A4 landscape it's "31.0". The printer's scaling has to be set to 100%.
I know this isn't a very elegant solution and I don't recommend it for cases in which print accuracy is really important.

Jan
