[Gvsig_english] The Printing Issue: The "definitive" wish and development list ; )

[Wolfgang Qual]

Hi Marcel,
the north arrow in 2.0 devel can be already linked to the view -
therfore, this issue seems to be solved. Hein?

> 1) Printing bugs
> 1.1) wms-layer is not exported when printing to pdf
> 1.2) printing size of labels different from size of labels in view /
> layout 
> (map)
> 1.3) labels are not drawn on the map (Rory Hill, 6.6.08)
> 1.4) transformed labels of annotation layer are not drawn (6.6.08,
> Silvio 
> Grosso)
> 1.5) printing to ps/pdf (large map) resulted in a uncomplete ps/pdf-file
> - even with quite some memory (25.7. Wolfgang Q)
> 1.6) North arrows (svg) loose quality when map is exported to pdf
> 1.7) all fonts should be embedded into ps/pdf-file (are they???)
> 1.8) elements of map are deleted when typing in name of output
> ps/pdf-file 
> (Wolfgang, 16.10) -- known bug. When will it be resolved?
> 1.9) background colour in view (defined in preferences) is lost when
> exporting map to ps/pdf (Silvio, 24.10)
> 
> 2) Development of printing module
> 2.1) Possibility to create printfiles ready for professional printing
> (pdf/x-3 
> etc.)
> 2.2) Possibility to export to eps-format with different resolution (300,
> 600 
> dpi) 
> 2.3) Export map to image format
> 2.3.1) tiff (best quality, compression yes/no
> 2.3.1) jpg, png
> 2.4) export map to vector format
> 2.4.1) svg
> 2.5) allow export of components of the map (not only the whole layout)
> 2.6) add functionality to add graticules and coordinates around the map
> (like in grass, gmt?)
> 2.6.1) Possibility to add multiple graticules to map (layout) - (Marcel,
> 5.10)
> 2.7) Possiblility to draw lines with arrow-peaks (Silvio, 24.10) comment
> Wolfgang: this should go into another section: symbology!
> 2.8) shortcuts for tools in Map- and View- Mode. Possibility to add
> custom shortcuts (silvio)
> 2.9) add custom svg-symbols to symbol-library (the new one; @silvio: I
> have found a page with svg(?)-symbols for trees etc. Is it from you? -->
> http://www.gfoss.it/drupal/simboli ???)

> 3) What we have to test:
> 3.1) try to load eps-files (big ones) into
> 3.1.1) scribus
> 3.1.2) sk1
> 3.2) test svg-import in scribus, check known issues
> and make printfile (pdf/x-3) out of it. Report your findings to the
> list 
> (stability of DTP program, is it an alternative to 2.1?)
> 3.3) import ps/pdf-files into scribus and report known issues (labels
> and 
> outlines were not drawn in my case, import took very long)
> 3.4) clearify colour profile issue with ps/pdf - is colour profile
> mechanism 
> needed for ps/pdf export
> 3.5) alternatives to sk1/scribus for converting eps/ps to pdf/x-3 etc. 
> ("professional printout file"): pdf-edit??? (silvio grosso, 15.10)
> 3.6) alternatives to scribus/sk1 for final map layout:
> 3.6.1) inkscape (but how to handle fact, that file can only be exported
> to 
> png-file), plus: svg seems not to be accepted in the professional
> world... 
> (Marcel, 15.10.)
>      what about colour definition and svg?
> 3.6.2) GIMP (but where to export to: ps, eps, ...)
> 3.7) Test new symbology of coming gvSIG 2.0: which issues remain? Which
> can be 
> done even better (please keep on testing devel-version)
> 3.8) check svg-import in software like scribus and export that to
> "known" 
> printout file (pdf). issues?
