Hi Stefan, See below response from Walt (developer / style guru)
For numbers 1 and 2, if you could put together reproducible test cases and submit as bugs, that would be great. This process is documented here: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/SubmitTicket Jason -----Original Message----- From: Walt Welton-Lair Subject: RE: [mapguide-internals] FW: [mapguide-users] Cartographicsymbolsproblems Well, line styles with the new symbolization are not yet officially supported (i.e. there are bugs) You're right though - nice to see someone looking at this. 1 & 2 most likely bugs 3. All properties, including line thickness, are in millimeters. You won't see much difference between 0.12mm and 0.25mm - both probably one pixel. 4. This gives you a circle (using two arcs): <Geometry>M -1,0 A 1,1 0 1 1 1,0 A 1,1 0 1 1 -1,0</Geometry> Here's what the parameters mean: - move to (-1,0) - arc to #1 (lower half of circle) x/y radii (1,1) x-axis rotation in degrees (0) use a large arc sweep (1) draw clockwise (1) end point (1,0) - arc to #2 (lower half of circle) ... 5. This will eventually be supported Walt -----Original Message----- From: Jason Birch Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 6:03 PM To: MapGuide Internals Mail List Subject: [mapguide-internals] FW: [mapguide-users] Cartographic symbolsproblems Any of you have any insight into this one? Cool to see someone trying to use the new symbol stuff... -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Dalakov Subject: [mapguide-users] Cartographic symbols problems Hi all, I have some problems with complex line styles. If anyone can help with information, a workaround or at least with information if this is a known problem. 1. When placing symbols along a line there are problems in displaying them. See attached screenshots. 2. When selecting a feature with such styling only symbols are marked as selected, not the main line. I tried changing the order in the definition, but this does not help. 3. Line thickness on screen changes incorrectly. If there are 2 lines with width 0.12 and 0.25, they are displayed with same thickness, next visibly different line is with 1.25 and is very thick. 4. How to draw a circle - I could not find a document with description of parameters of A (arc to) option ? 5. Is there a way to place symbols only at vertices of a line - I need a simple, solid line with a circle at every vertex? Thank you in advance Stefan Dalakov _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
