== Map Printing ==
We want to be able to Print maps.

Currently we use Java:
 * [http://www.mapfish.org/doc/print/ MapFish Printing Module]
  * [wiki:InstallationGuidelinesGISData#Printing InstallationGuidelines]
  * Reasons why Java was chosen: http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Proposals/PrintModuleSpec
 * We'd like to be able to print to an Image not just a PDF:
  * http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/ticket/161

Alternate Java:
 * [http://www.geomajas.org Geomajas]

3 potential Python libraries:
 * [http://www.reportlab.org/rl_toolkit.html ReportLab]
  * [http://code.google.com/p/rst2pdf/ rST2PDF]
 * [http://www.htmltopdf.org/ XHTML2PDF (Pisa)]
 * [http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/ PyPDF]

A !JavaScript library:
 * [http://code.google.com/p/jspdf JSPDF]

Other:
 * http://www.htmldoc.org - used by http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TracWikiToPdfPlugin

PDF export will be a representation added to the [wiki:BluePrintREST RESTlike controller].

Printing the current view would be the same as printing a [wiki:BluePrintGISWebMapContext WebMapContext].
