Hi
I’ve read in the FOSS4G2008 GeoServer MapServer performance comparision that GeoServer’s 1 pixel width is too thin and that it will be fixed in 1.7.1. But I don’t see a difference to older GS? Will it be fixed with another version?
regards
Stefan

Ah yeah, very nasty issue.
I was thinking to actually fix it in GeoServer 2.0.
The main problem I'm facing with this change is that it will invalidate
all existing SLD that do not specify a line width or those that
do specify a line width less than 1.5 pixels, since the line will
be drawn almost twice as thick when the patch is made.
So as you can see I'm facing a backwards compatibility issue.
The same goes with the other issue we've found during that test,
that is, fonts sized in points instead of pixels. If I find a way
to get fonts sized in pixels, all font sizes will be invalidate
as well, because points are smaller than pixels.
Another option I could look into would be to provide, for the
moment, an option to setup in web.xml, something like
ENABLE_NATURAL_STROKE_SIZE=true and ENABLE_FONT_SIZE_PIXELS=true...
Suggestions?
Cheers
Andrea

Hi, when i want thicker line then 1px but thinner then 2px, i just add
another symbolizer with width of 2px, but i set opacity to 20-30%...it
comes out pretty good.
