[Gvsig_english] 0.x thickness of line-shapefiles in print

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Hi Da,

So if I understand your problem... You can view a line geometry on the 
screen, superimposed on a DEM, at what appears to be the correct size 
but when you print it to postscript it is too thick.

There are too avenues you can investigate here. The first is check what 
you map is setup to show -- look at the settings in the 'cartography' 
section of your preferences and change the values to see how they 
influence the output. The second option is change your output from 
PS/PDF to an image. I have successfully used ImagePrinter to 
export/print to a JPG with much better results than working through 
postscript files. Not sure why this occurs as both systems are based on 
the same libraries but it does.

Cheers Simon
