Re: [udig-devel] strange problems with png8 image format

Well, I just created new pictures with the missing parameter transparency=true and the returned pictures of these requests are different. The "ugly" labels using the image format png8 are generated from geoserver. My fault :(
Sorry for that post, I'm going to move this question to the geoserver/geotools list.

Interesting.

I wonder if the alpha buffer is being used to soften the edges of the fonts? uDig is probably trying to respect any transparency so content can show through.  If you are just looking at the image on its own perhaps this is not noticeable?  Could you try loading the images into a paint program to see what is going on with transparency...

Other then that we should ask on the geoserver-users email list to see if we can learn the specific of how encoding transparency occurs.

Hi,

after the fix of bug UDIG-1650 (transparency and image format png8) the labels of rendered features are ugly. What I've done:

- default image format png8
- checked out response from geoserver with image format png8 and transparency
- I run the app with anti-aliasing option enabled and compared it to the result when anti-aliasing was disabled. -> no difference


The effect of ugly labels (see attachment wms-2.png) I only get with the udig WMS client (1.2 RC2 btw.). Do you have any suggestions why this happens?
