Niels-Peter,

I believe that you will need to split the line at the intersection into multiple lines to get the display that you want. Because you line just crosses itself there is no intersection there. If you split the line into multiple segments that there will be an intersection and mapserver should render it is desired.

Hi Thomas

The bridge was used as an anology. In fact, the line feature is a bus route
that crosses itself, and we just want to show where the route passes through
an intersection.

Hi Thomas

Thanks for the quick answer.

We cannot make the style work in the mapfile and have to place it in
the symbol file. By the way, we are using Mapserver 5.4.2.

But anyway, I don't think it solves our problem.
We don't have any "bridge" in our line data, it is just a single line
feature that crosses itself.

then how can you distinguish the case of the bridge with the case of the
intersection ? applying the solution I proposed on all lines will give
incorrect cases everywhere you don't have a bridge, so it would not be a
possible solution.

An undocumented and "not guaranteed to work in future versions" is to
trick mapserver in not drawing the cached base style for bridge lines.
As you are avoiding the line caching mechanism, you have to tweak the
linecaps for the base style.

CLASS
   EXPRESSION ([bridge]=1)
   STYLE
   END
   STYLE
      color black
      width 5
      linecap butt
   END
   STYLE
      color yellow
      width 3
      linecap round
   END
   STYLE
      color black
      width 1
   END
END

I haven't tested this recently, so please keep in touch if this solves
your problem or not.

regards,
thomas

Hi users

We have a problem in rendering a route based on a line feature.

When we use the common way to do that, by using two styles, with a
thick black line that defines an outline, and a thinner defying the
road center, we will not get the desired result.

But I want to show where routes cross ("bridge" intersection), and
not as a "normal" intersection, see the attached examples.

As there is no outline definition on linefeatures I can't se how that
can be done in a simple way.
