I think that someone else pointed out that the path to your symbol image is 
relative to the location of your map file.

A quick test would be to drop bike.png in the same folder as your map file.

Looking at your dir tree, I would move your symbol stuff out of the htdocs 
branch and into the area where your map files are.

I added a few things to my sym file and got a few  to work

I can now call circle and get a circle….BUT for some reason the image will not 
work, maybe an issue with the image?  You have any test images that are known 
to work?
I have the image like this IMAGE 'bike.png' because the images are in the same

Any other thoughts….greatly appreciated….thanks

RE: [mapserver-users] Symbology

2010-09-21 Thread Jay Kapalczynski 
Thank you all for your help here….and I am quite embarrassed as to my 
solution…and more importantly sorry to take up your time, although I did learn 
a few things.
I moved everything into the map section and created a Symbol folder to hold the 
images and .sym files.
I placed the png in the map folder (as requested by David)
And it still didn’t work…looking closer I realized that the symbol name was 
“bike” although the image name was “bikes” one stupid ‘s’ and this results.

Although your help allowed me to move the files into the correct location, 
understand the connection between map file and sym file and images etc.

I thank you for all your help..much appreciated

Jay,

A couple of additional steps.

1). Add SYMBOLSET as the first line in your symbol file

2). In the mapfile, in the MAP section add a line

SYMBOLSET /path/to/symbolset_file

You can put the symbol definition in your map file, or in a symbols file (e.g. 
symbols.sym) and then set SYMBOLSET at the MAP level to point to your 
symbols.sym file.

A couple of additional steps.

1). Add SYMBOLSET as the first line in your symbol file

2). In the mapfile, in the MAP section add a line

SYMBOLSET /path/to/symbolset_file

 Hi,
  
 yes, you have to define an image symbol in your symbolset and use that:
  
 SYMBOL
   NAME 'church'
   TYPE pixmap
   IMAGE 'church.gif'
   TRANSPARENT 5
 END
  
 then use
 SYMBOL 'church' in your style.

Jay,

you need to reference the symbolset file in the map section of you mapfile
SYMYBOLSET '/path/to/your/symbolset.sym'

then you can simply use the names of the defined symbols.

Cheers, Michael

Jay,

all pathes in the mapfile are relative to the mapfile.

e.g.

mapfile.map
subfolder-symbols/symbset.sym

leads to the reference

subfolder-symbols/symbset.sym

This is true to all references in the mapfile AND included files such as 
symbset.sym!

[mapserver-users] Symbology rotation (again)

2008-04-04 Thread KMR - Kåre Mølgård Rasmussen 
Hi list

 

I´ve recently posted a question regarding symbology rotation. I´ve got two 
great replies suggesting 

1)  Upgrade mapserver (I was running 4.10)

2)  Implement angleitem in a STYLE definition

 

I´ve done both, and when I run mapserv.exe with -v as argument, version 5.0.2 
is returned. But when I try to display the map, mapserver fails with the 
following error:

Error: loadStyle(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (ANGLEITEM):(line 
3328)

java.lang.UnknownError: loadStyle(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near 
(ANGLEITEM):(line 3328)

 

The CLASS/STYLE looks like this

  CLASSITEM  TYPE

  CLASS   

 EXPRESSION LOCK 

 STYLE

   COLOR 192 192 192 

   SYMBOL WATER_L 

   SIZE 10

   ANGLEITEM LCK_ANGLE #column contains float values

 END

  END

 

Any suggestions to this error?

 

TIA

[mapserver-users] symbology rotation

2008-04-01 Thread KMR - Kåre Mølgård Rasmussen 
Hi list (sorry if it is reposted - I´m not sure, if the first mail got around)

 

Currently I´m using mapserver 4.10 to display tab-files. Due to the fact, that 
I´m unable to get mapserver to display the right symbol (I use my own true type 
font) 

I´ve mapped the neseccary symbols like this

 

SYMBOL

  NAME mysymbL 

  TYPE TRUETYPE

  FONT mytruetype

  FILLED true

  ANTIALIAS true

  CHARACTER L

END

 

Then  in the different layer definitions I do like this:

  STATUS OFF

  CONNECTIONTYPE OGR   

  CONNECTION /.../water.tab

My problem is that MapServer ignores the symbology angle used in the tab file. 
Does anyone have any suggestion to this problem

You are using a very old version of MapSever.  Are you sure that 4.1 supports 
symbology rotation?  I can't remember when that feature was added.  
 
I suggest upgrading to a more recent version of MapServer.

  [mapserver-users] symbology rotation 
  
  Hi list (sorry if it is reposted – I´m not 
  sure, if the first mail got around)
  
  Currently I´m using mapserver 4.10 to 
  display tab-files. Due to the fact, that I´m unable to get mapserver to 
  display the right symbol (I use my own true type font) 
  I´ve mapped the neseccary symbols like 
  this
  
  SYMBOL
   NAME "mysymbL" 
  
   TYPE TRUETYPE
   FONT 
  mytruetype
   FILLED true
   ANTIALIAS 
true
   CHARACTER "L"
  END
  
  Then in the different layer 
  definitions I do like this:
  LAYER
   NAME Water 
   
   TYPE POINT
   STATUS OFF
   CONNECTIONTYPE 
  OGR 
  
   CONNECTION 
  "/…/water.tab"
   METADATA
   "themename" 
  "Water"
   END
   
   TOLERANCEUNITS

   TOLERANCE 4
   TEMPLATE "dummy.html"

   COLOR 
  0 0 255 
   
  SYMBOL "mysymbL" 
   SIZE 
  1
   
  END
  END
  
  My problem is that MapServer ignores the 
  symbology angle used in the tab file. Does anyone have any suggestion to this 
  problem
  
  TIA

You are using a very old version of MapSever.  Are you sure that 4.1 supports 
symbology rotation?  I can't remember when that feature was added.  
 
I suggest upgrading to a more recent version of MapServer.

[mapserver-users] symbology showing line direction

2008-02-29 Thread Adam Feidt 
  I'm working in a GeoMoose application and trying to display
utility lines with the correct line direction via some arrow character
or symbol.  I've had no luck so far.  I've successfully labeled my lines
with a truetype font character by defining the TEXT  parameter in the
CLASS object.  I've also tried a pixelmap symbol definition using a .gif
file.  Both appear to work at first, but when you compare it to the
actual line direction it isn't true in all cases.  Has anybody found a
way to accomplish this?  I would appreciate if you could send me any
examples.

I was hoping it could read ESRI's From and To node structure much like
ArcMap, but by the sounds of it that isn't possible. Shapefile geometry
is saved in the Shape column, which I'm guessing is useless in
Mapserver.  What you're saying is I need to create an attribute and
populate it with the angle of the line and use that to define my label
direction?

Could you try to use a simble like this?

SYMBOL

NAME arrow
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT verdana
CHARACTER '\#62;' # don't use the backslash! (the verdana greater
than tag)
FILLED true
ANTIALIAS true

direction when computing the angle

and use it in the STYLE of the layer CLASS

Put attention on the GAP parameter

 Adam, you gave me a little doubt abotu shp line directions and Mapserver...

  Could you try to use a simble like this?

  SYMBOL

 NAME arrow
 TYPE TRUETYPE
 FONT verdana
 CHARACTER '\#62;' # don't use the backslash! (the verdana greater
  than tag)
 FILLED true
 ANTIALIAS true
 GAP -10 # the negatation tells MapServer to honor the vector
  direction when computing the angle

  END

  and use it in the STYLE of the layer CLASS

  Put attention on the GAP parameter


  2008/2/29, Adam Feidt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
   I was hoping it could read ESRI's From and To node structure much like
ArcMap, but by the sounds of it that isn't possible. Shapefile geometry
is saved in the Shape column, which I'm guessing is useless in
Mapserver.  What you're saying is I need to create an attribute and
populate it with the angle of the line and use that to define my label
direction?

A question: how can you derive a line direction by a shp without
having an appropriate attribute?

 David,

  Below is my Layer definition.  I've tried a truetype symbol and
label
 with the ANGLE parameter set to AUTO or FOLLOW.  Neither case pointed
out
 actual shapefile line direction.  I'm reading an ESRI shapefile so
there is
 no specific column for line direction.

 Adam,





 What does your layer definition, with the classes look like

RE: [mapserver-users] symbology showing line direction

2008-02-29 Thread Fawcett, David 
Adam, 
 
I am quite sure that MapServer is not going to read the line topology.
To display direction, you will need to add an attribute for flow
direction and populate it.  You would then use an expression for each
class that combined both the pipe type and the direction.  (Maybe use -1
and 1 for values?)
 
Something like ('[FUNCTION]' = 'Main' AND [DIRECTION] = -1)   
 
I haven't tested this.  Note the difference in quoting for string fields
vs number fields.  
 
David.

What does your layer definition, with the classes look like?

 

Does your data have the direction column properly populated for
all records?

direction

  I'm working in a GeoMoose application and trying
to display utility lines with the correct line direction via some arrow
character or symbol.  I've had no luck so far.  I've successfully
labeled my lines with a truetype font character by defining the TEXT 
parameter in the CLASS object.  I've also tried a pixelmap symbol
definition using a .gif file.  Both appear to work at first, but when
you compare it to the actual line direction it isn't true in all cases.
Has anybody found a way to accomplish this?  I would appreciate if you
could send

Yes it does work.  The negative GAP value seems to be the solution.  I
did not compare it extensively, but the areas I checked do appear
correct.

David, I had your opinion too, but Adam seems to have solved it. Adam,
do you confirm that you can display correctly directions?
