Hi,
Thank you. The SLD definitions in the standard are given in a literal form:
“The WellKnownName element gives the well-known name of the shape of the mark.
Allowed values include at least “square”, “circle”, “triangle”, “star”, “cross”,
and “x”, though map servers may draw a different symbol instead if they don't
have a
shape for all of these. The default WellKnownName is “square”.”
Arrow is not on the list, I think that I copied it from the Geoserver docs. If
arrow was on the list and if your symbol looks like an arrow then it would
match the SLD definition for sure.

Aihe: Re: [MapServer-users] Well-know SLD symbols
Hi Jukka,
Here are some that I have, hopefully they work for what you are looking for, I
never compared to the SLD so I don't know if they match SLD definitions. The
arrow for example may not.

Hi,
The SDL standard defines some well-known symbols: circle, square, triangle,
arrow, cross, star, and x. Can I find somewhere the mapfile versions of these
symbols? I found circle and star from GitHub
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/2b263e96d1b44fb74caf20581256c71419da802c/msautotest/sld/data/symbols.map.include#L11
and I also found code that probably generates the well-know symbols
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/2b263e96d1b44fb74caf20581256c71419da802c/src/mapogcsld.cpp#L48
but that code is rather useless for me.
Triangle and cross can be found here
https://mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/examples.html If somebody has
ready-made square, arrow, and x and is willing to share them I would be
grateful.
