[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Set symbol in python mapscript

[Rob McCulley]

Hi All,   I’m creating a new layer in python mapscript, but I can’t figure out how to set the symbol for that layer.   I add my layer using:   newLyr = mapscript.layerObj(projMap) newLyr.name = ‘Project ‘ + projNum newLyr.type = mapscript.MS_LAYER_LINE newLyr.data = "">   I can create class and style for my newLyr using:   newCls = mapscript.classObj(newLyr) newStyle = mapscript.styleObj(newCls)   I can access my symbolset, and I know my desired symbol is at index 8.  What I can’t figure out is how to make my new layer draw using the symbol from index 8.     Rob McCulley GIS Coordinator County of Vermilion River No. 24 (780) 846-2244 www.vermilion-river.ab.ca
