MapServer does have a "Symbology Exchange" section on the wiki; it would be great to share your great symbol examples there: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-Symbology-Exchange

Thanks Andy,

My 'tie' symbol is same as your 'railway', the actual problem is the track...

My original one is as follow:
        SYMBOL
          NAME "line_solid"
          TYPE ellipse
          POINTS 1 1
          END
          FILLED true
        END

I changed it to what you suggested, and it works perfectly for SVG output.

Really appreciate your help.

Best regards,
Teng

Thanks for sharing your method.

However that is still brush line for the railway symbol which is not supported 
when using SVG format, isn’t it? Could you verify if a wms getmap call which 
contains the railway layer and in the getmap request set the output format=SVG 
to see if that works at your side?

Thanks again,
Teng

Hi all,

I am working on a project to export the wms to SVG format, it is the from the 
requirement of the features to be in vector format. And I am facing trouble to 
use the render engine to render the railroad symbol as a brush line.

RailRoad Symbol I am using is as follow:

        CLASS
                NAME "MD_Railroad"

                STYLE
                   SYMBOL "line_solid"
                   SIZE 2
                   COLOR 0 0 0
                END
                STYLE
                   SYMBOL "tie"
                   SIZE 6
                   COLOR 0 0 0
                   GAP -10
                END
        END

It works as expect when the return image in raster format such as PNG, but when 
using SVG it shows error:

"msDrawLineSymbol(): Renderer error. renderer does not support brushed lines"

Does anyone have any suggestion about how to design a vector-enabled symbol for 
railways please? I am using MapServer 7.0, data is in SQL Server Spatial.

Best regards,

Teng

Without seeing the "tie" symbol, its hard to say if mine is different.
Here's how I draw mine:

SYMBOL
        NAME "railway"
        TYPE truetype
        FONT "Vera"
        CHARACTER "|"
END

CLASS
        NAME 'Railroad'
        STYLE
                SYMBOL 0
                COLOR 0 0 0
                SIZE 1
        END
        STYLE
                SYMBOL 'railway'
                COLOR 0 0 0
                SIZE 7
                GAP -10
        END
END
