I seem to have reached the top level of psychical disorder - I answer my own posts. Anyway .. Traian was right - I found a workaround for this problem (N:1) - massages usually relief the situation. I will add the working SymbolDef to the ticket - don't know if this is the correct way to proceed .

I created 2 tickets for these 2 bugs, with screenshots and symboldefinitions. Hope it would help. I use 1.2.0 RC2. without any patches, on Win XP, IIS and PHP as dev environment, AJAX viewer

Yes it would help to get the underlying SymbolDef xml. Sometimes it is possible to massage those to work around some of the bugs. This is particularly true in the case of line styles. Traian

    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:

    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

    Any of you have any insight into this one?  Cool to see someone
    trying
    to use the new symbol stuff...

    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
