Hi, I would like to achieve in mapserver something like this google map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Paris,+France&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=47.174895,-1.624206&spn=0.005594,0.012167&sll=44.437711,26.097367&sspn=0.376038,0.778656&t=m&z=17 Please notice the round crossroads. Before I place my question, here is my setup. the map editor: a custom openlayers tool. It saves labels, lines, polygons through WFS-T with tinyows into a postgres+postgis db. a mapserver to render these vector features. There are 2 questions: 1. As my starting point is raw satellite images, what would be the best approach for the editor? Should I let him make only the lines for the street and then I compute the intersections in the sql query in the layer section of the mapserver? should i give him the possibility to make a point at the intersection of the 2 lines on a different layer? or maybe a regular polygon with many sides ? 2. Once I have the lines on the street layer and optional point/regular polygon on the crossroads layer, how do I go about and make it look like the google map shown at the link above ? I will take as example the crossroads at Rue Eugene Pottier and Route de Paimboeuf. Coming from North-East the thin red line acting as border goes around in a nice curve and goes north to Rue Eugene Pottier [the border below goes south the same nice way]. and in the middle there is a circle showing underneath layers with the same color - thin red.
I didn't find any examples, or any mapserver map that can do this? Is it even possible? Or is there a trick in STYLE section that can achieve this result?
