Re: [OpenMap Users] printing with openmap

Hi Johan,

I'd check your size of your MapBean against the size of the print area.
  I think the MapBeanPrinter tries to scale the map to fit the page, at
least in one dimension, and you might be seeing an effect of the
scaling. I'd make the map window bigger before printing to see if that
helps, and then at least you would know you're on the right track.

You might want to modify the MapBeanPrinter to call the Layers'
renderDataForProjection() method instead, creating a new Projection for
that method call that better fits the size of the page you are printing
to by setting the height and width of the projection. You might have
to play around with the scaling algorithm to make that happen
correctly, though.

Hope this helps,

Don
