Bart,
I have entered a bug on this 2305. I think the default pixel size for
Markers is 6 and I assumed that it was the same for external symbols. I
will update the code so that if size is omitted, the image size is used
(I think that even just setting the size to -1 would force the rendering
to get the image size before drawing).
BTW there was no change in this regard in the SLD code for quite some time.
Later,

Something additional, Mapserver does not comply with the SLD spec if you
omit the Size in the SLD. The SLD 1.0 spec says:
"The default size of an image format (such as GIF) is the inherent size
of the image."
but Mapserver seems to use a default of 6 pixels ...
if (psSize && psSize->psChild && psSize->psChild->pszValue)
psStyle->size = atoi(psSize->psChild->pszValue);
else
psStyle->size = 6; /* defualt value */
Best regards,
Bart

Hi list,
I just spent half of my day finding out why an SLD with external
graphics did not work anymore with 5.0, something like:
<PointSymbolizer><Geometry><PropertyName>msGeometry</PropertyName></Geometry><Graphic><ExternalGraphic><OnlineResource
'.
'xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
xlink:type="simple"
xlink:href="'.$this->externalgraphic.'"/><Format>GIF</Format>'.
'</ExternalGraphic><Size>1.0</Size></Graphic></PointSymbolizer></Rule>
I used a PointSymbolizer with Size 1 and this results in something like:
STYLE
ANGLE 360
COLOR 0 0 0
SIZE 1
SYMBOL "....."
END
In Mapserver 4.10 this used to draw the symbol in its native
size/dimension, but in 5.0 this does not work anymore, i.e. I do not
see anything in the map.
If I change Size to 17 (the size in pixels of the image used), the
SLD works fine again.
Was this change intentional? Anyways, I guess this should be
documented in the migration guide :-) ?
Best regards,
Bart
