To be precise, if repeat is set to zero or a negative number, the symbol will only be placed at the start and/or end offset positions. I assume that removing the repeat element just sets it to zero which has the desired effect.
Here is some extra information from Walt for about what happens when repeat <= 0: For non-positive Repeat values the VertexControl option is ignored, and the following rules apply to the StartOffset and EndOffset parameters: * if the StartOffset is specified (>=0) then a symbol is drawn at the start offset location * if the EndOffset is specified (>=0) then a symbol is drawn at the end offset location * if the StartOffset and EndOffset are both specified but their sum is greater than the polyline length (the EndOffset offset location comes before the StartOffset location) then no symbols are drawn * if the StartOffset and EndOffset are both unspecified (< 0) then no symbols are drawn Traian > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:mapguide-users- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of GordonL > Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 9:39 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [mapguide-users] Re: Enhanced Stylization - <repeat> value > > Ok, I figured it out.
