Hi, The question might be actually in how the polygons and outlines actually are rendered. Gilles seems to suppose that polygon in first rendered with COLOR and after that outline is rendered outside the polygon with OUTLINECOLOR, resulting to a shape that widened from the original by the line width. But perhaps Mapserver is rendering the outline just inside (effectively, above) the coloured polygon that is on the bottom, or maybe half and half? I suppose that would lead to similar results in cases 2) and 3). Who knows? -Jukka Rahkonen-

I tried with the OUTLINECOLOR property set to a valid color, to -1 0 0 and without any OUTLINECOLOR property, is that what you mean ? Let me describe my results : 1) COLOR set to 153 179 204, OUTLINECOLOR is set to 0 0 0 => My shape appear in blue with a 1 pixel black border. 2) COLOR set to 153 179 204, OUTLINECOLOR is not set (default value) => My shape appear in blue, there is no black border but polygon is as thick as the previous one. I assume that Mapserver draw a 1 pixel border using the filling color. 3) COLOR set to 153 179 204, OUTLINECOLOR is set to -1 0 0 (or to -1 -1 -1) => The result is the same as case no 2. Attached are some map excerpts illustrating these 3 cases. If I understand, the value -1 0 0 is a way to say to Mapserver: "Draw this transparent", right ? So, every pixel that appear black in the first case shouldn't appear in blue in the 3rd case, isn't it ? As you can see on the third map (case3.png), it's not. :( Flavio, thanks for checking my mapfile. I tried with and without antialias and it looks better with it. I don't know how to check whether my polygons are valid (closed polygon), could you give me a way to check that ?
