Hi, From document page http://www.mapserver.org/mapfile/symbol.html#symbol:
"Symbol 0 is always the degenerate case for a particular class of symbol. For points, symbol 0 is a single pixel, for shading (i.e. filled polygons) symbol 0 is a solid fill, and for lines, symbol 0 is a single pixel wide line." Also, from http://mapserver.org/mapfile/style.html#style I can read: "If SYMBOL is not specified, the behaviour depends on the type of feature. For points, nothing will be rendered." I made a few tests and this CLASS does not render anything: CLASS STYLE SYMBOL 0 COLOR 100 200 100 END #STYLE END #CLASS I can make points to render if I have this in the mapfile: SYMBOL NAME "circlef" TYPE ellipse FILLED true POINTS 1 1 END # POINTS END # SYMBOL ... CLASS STYLE SYMBOL "circlef" SIZE 15 COLOR 100 200 100 END #STYLE END #CLASS Does this mean that "SYMBOL 0" is not supported any more but documentation lags behind, or should "SYMBOL 0" work for point layers but there is a bug? I have been wondering about ten years now why I can give just color in a class and get something to show from lines and polygons, but for points I need to define symbol as well. I guess there is some good reason for that. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
