Havard, #3867 seems reasonable, we would just need to document that in the migration guide for people who are using a symbol who's size is larger than the gap they specified, as this will result in messed up rendering.
#3879 is more involved, as it requires the addition of two mapfile keywords. You might want to bring this up on the -dev list to see what the reactions are w.r.t these keyword additions. regards, thomas On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 12:09, Havard Tveite <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Bob, > > Mapserver does not allow sensible styling of dashed lines with for > instance point symbols. > To be able to do this, a new mechanism will have to be introduced > (for instance INITIALGAP, as used in the SLD specification).
