[mapserver-users] Polygon border with marker line symbol

[Anton Bakker]

Hi list,

I am trying to create the following symbology in MapServer, a marker line 
symbol on the border of a polygon, see the following ArcMap screenshot 
(https://i.imgur.com/9qN16tx.png <https://i.imgur.com/9qN16tx.png>). 

I tried the two following options, but could not manage to recreate the above 
symbology:

1. Renders with marker fill on polygon (https://i.imgur.com/sFFznbq.png 
<https://i.imgur.com/sFFznbq.png>):

         CLASS
            NAME "countries_europe"
            STYLE
              ANTIALIAS TRUE
              COLOR 204 204 204
            END
            STYLE
              ANTIALIAS TRUE
              GAP 30
              OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
              COLOR 255 0 0 
              SIZE 6
              SYMBOL 'square'
              WIDTH 1.0
            END
          END

2. Renders with marker line symbol on polygon border 
(https://i.imgur.com/Qwrw8wP.png <https://i.imgur.com/Qwrw8wP.png>), but the 
marker is missing the fill:

         CLASS
            NAME "countries_europe"
            STYLE
              ANTIALIAS TRUE
              COLOR 204 204 204
            END
            STYLE
              ANTIALIAS TRUE
              GAP 30
              OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
              SIZE 6
              SYMBOL 'square'
              WIDTH 1.0
            END
          END

Does anyone know whether it is possible to achieve this symbology? It seems the 
only way to set a picture line symbol on the border of a polygon is to only set 
the outlinecolor, but then there is no way to set the fill color for the 
marker. I could not find any any information about this in the documentation or 
the mailing list. 

Thanks and kind regards,
Anton Bakker
