[ka-Map-users] print system pdf

[David William Bitner]

Lorenzo,

I just went through and tried to add some comments to the print system that
I use based on FPDF.  I think that we can mesh together what you are doing
with some additional things that I have implemented.

I am throwing the php code below used for printing in the mapping
application (non-ka-map) that I have running at
http://maps.macnoise.com/interactive/

The things that you might want to take a look at are:
- increasing the resolution of the jpeg images used for the map and used in
the legend
- use vector text for the legend
- variable height map image and legend area -- map gets smaller, legend gets
bigger as more objects get added to the legend
    try adding/removing layers from the application above to see what I mean

An additional thing that I haven't yet had time to implement would be a
vector scalebar using the rectangle draw tools in fpdf. (Currently my in
image scalebar is rather pathetic as you can see especially if you make a
pdf then throw an extra paramater &resolution=300 on the end).

I hope that some of this can help you!

Ciao,
bit
