According to the STYLE-> WIDTH documentation, for POLYGON
symbols (filled symbols of type vector) WIDTH refers to
the width of the outline of the symbol:

"If used with SYMBOL and OUTLINECOLOR, WIDTH specifies the width of the symbol outlines. This applies to SYMBOL TYPE vector (polygons), ellipse and truetype."

The documentation is probably a bit imprecise in not
including the word "filled" for the vector and ellipse types.

If you add OUTLINECOLOR 255 0 0, you will see the outline
of the symbol in red with a width of 5.

Apparently, leaving out OUTLINECOLOR seems to be equivalent
to OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255, and since your outline is
thicker than the half the width of the symbol, the outline
will erase the blue (0 0 252) interior of the symbol.

If you want to see some of the interior of the symbol
(blue), you will have to reduce the value of WIDTH or
increase the value of SIZE.

Hi,
I think I am confused on styling polygon.
I normally displayed the map without using symbol. When
I used symbol. Nothing is displayed.

here is the relevant code.


  STATUS OFF
  TYPE POLYGON
  OPACITY 80
  CLASS
     STYLE
           SYMBOL "diagonal-auf2"
           COLOR 0 0 252
           SIZE 10
           WIDTH 5
     END
  END

​SYMBOL
  NAME "diagonal-auf2"
  TYPE vector
  POINTS
    0 0.8
    0.2 1
    1 0.2
    0.8 0
    0 0.8
  END
  FILLED TRUE
END
​
What am I doing wrong?

regards
