Hello list,
A little problem, I hope someone can help.
Using Mapserver 5.2 - I am attempting to use a character symbol: "|"
as a STYLE for the outline of a polygon class. However, I cannot get
the symbol to remain perpendicular to the polygon boundaries ie: the
symbol is always vertical. Can this be done or should I be using a
vector or point symbol somehow?
/Symbol file:/
SYMBOL
NAME "rawmat"
TYPE truetype
FONT arial
CHARACTER "|"
GAP 20 # distance between symbols
END
/Mapfile/
CLASS
NAME 'Extraction Areas'
STYLE
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
WIDTH 1
ANTIALIAS TRUE
END #STYLE
STYLE
SYMBOL 'rawmat'
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
SIZE 5
ANTIALIAS TRUE
END #STYLE
END #CLASS
Regards
Todd
