There used to be a sym2img utility but it's been busted awhile. If you have
class names defined you could simply request a legend from the CGI and look at
things that way (e.g. mapserv?mode=legend&map=foo.map).
There's another option too. I added a legendicon mode to the dev (5.2) version
of the MapServer CGI. The mode is "legendicon" and there's a new "icon"
parameter that takes a value like [layer]{:class} where layer is a layer name
and (optionally) class number (starting with 0 I think). Here's an example:
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv50?map=COMPASS_MAPFILE&mode=legendicon&icon=lake_dnrpy2
You could probably easily create an HTML page full of these links and preview
things that way. The legendicon is not dependent on the presence of a class
name so it can be used on any layer/class combination.

Hi guys,
I want to preview the symbols in a symbol file by drawing them without drawing
the whole mapfile, is that possible and how can I do that? Is there a utility
like shp2img available?
Thanks a lot.
