Thanks guys for your thoughts...still green to this and trying to learn
I would make real sense to me to create the .sym file where I would not have to
redefine the particular symbol sets
DO I HAVE THIS RIGHT?
1. BUT how do I define the symbol set or point to the .sym file from the map
file ?????
SYMBOL FILE: So in the Symbol file I would have this (example of two of them)
SYMBOL
NAME 'bike'
TYPE pixmap
IMAGE '/home/mapserv/proj/pmap/bike.png'
TRANSPARENT 2
END
SYMBOL
NAME 'church'
TYPE pixmap
IMAGE '/home/mapserv/proj/pmap/church.png'
TRANSPARENT 5
END
MAP FILE: I would simply call them?
CLASS
STYLE
SYMBOL "bike"
COLOR 0 0 0
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
END
END

You can put the symbol definition in your map file, or in a symbols file (e.g.
symbols.sym) and then set SYMBOLSET at the MAP level to point to your
symbols.sym file.

Ok that seems to make sense...but where do I place the image SYMBOL (your
example below)? DO I place that in the map file as well?
Little confused there....
Thanks Michael and Adam for your return replys.

Hi,
yes, you have to define an image symbol in your symbolset and use that:
SYMBOL
NAME 'church'
TYPE pixmap
IMAGE 'church.gif'
TRANSPARENT 5
END
then use
SYMBOL 'church' in your style.
Cheers, Michael
