Re: [mapserver-users] symbol circle (ellipse) rendered not round but oval
If Thomas B. agrees, I think it would be reasonable to also open a bug on the gap calculation. In my opinion, since the word gap is used, the correct way to specify a symbol with ellipses that has the same gap between them as the diameter of the ellipses should be as follows: symbol name dots type ellipse points 1 1 end gap 1 end or an equivalent scaled version such as: symbol name dots type ellipse points 23 23 end gap 23 end The actual size of the ellipses (and the width of the gaps) should be determined by the SIZE in CLASS- STYLE. If SIZE is 10, the ellipses should have a 10 pixel diameter (and should have a 10 pixel gap between them). I have been hesitant to file bugs regarding symbology, since the documentation on symbology is lacking and there is not complete agreement on how some of the things that has to do with symbology should work. There have also been discussions on changing some behaviour and mechanisms for symbology. First we have to agree on how things should work and document it, then we can file bugs if behaviour is not as expected.

Yes, if the rendering behaviour had been according to my preferences, POINTS 10 10 END GAP 1 (or 2 or 3) should do it (if you had specified SIZE 10 in the STYLE). You specify the gap, and not the centre to centre distance between the ellipses. But currently, this is not the behaviour. Currently (with AGG in 5.6.0) you would have to specify: POINTS 10 10 END GAP 6 (or 7 or 8) to get something close (if you specify SIZE 10 in the STYLE). Something seems to be wrong when the GAP is close to half the diameter specified in POINTS - some of the gaps will be as expected, while others are larger (closer to the actual number specified in GAP).

thank you Thomas so if I have a dot of, for example, 8px and I want a space pf 20px between the dots, I need a gap of 20/8 = 2.5 but as far as I can see, Mapserver doesnt like none-integer value for gap. what should I do? :( 2010/1/12 thomas bonfort thomas.bonf...@gmail.com gap in pixels = symbol-gap * style-size On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 16:52, Oliver Christen oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com wrote: GAP 20 is really giving unwanted result: http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache9.pnghttp://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache9.png though using only one style instead of two seems to solve the oval problem (but why ???) style symbol dots size 8 color 204 102 0 outlinecolor 102 51 0 end I dont understand how GAP is supposed working: with GAP 2, I had ~10px between dots, with GAP 3, I had ~18px between dots, with GAP 4, I had ~26px between dots whats the logic ? - Original Message - *From:* thomas bonfort thomas.bonf...@gmail.com *To:* Oliver Christen oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com *Cc:* mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org *Sent:* Tuesday, January 12, 2010 4:36 PM *Subject:* Re: [mapserver-users] symbol circle (ellipse) rendered not round but oval symbol name dots type ellipse points 1 1 end gap 20 end ... style symbol dots size 8 color r g b outlinecolor r g b end On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 16:31, Oliver Christen oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com wrote: Hi Thomas :) thanks for the answer, but sadely it didnt solve my problem: here are a few tests I did: using GAP 20 gave me really weird result: http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache6_gap_20.pnghttp://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache6_gap_20.png using PATTERN 1 22 END gave me better result, but the dot are still slightly oval: http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache7_pattern.pnghttp://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache7_pattern.png I wondered if the visual effect may have come from the fact im pilling up two circle one over the other, but even when trying to display only the outer or inner circles, the circle are still slightly off: http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache4_outercircle.pnghttp://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache4_outercircle.png http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache5_innercircle.pnghttp://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache5_innercircle.png (both at once http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache3_bothcircle.pnghttp://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache3_bothcircle.png ) any other idea? ^_^ - Original Message - *From:* thomas bonfort thomas.bonf...@gmail.com *To:* Oliver Christen oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com *Cc:* mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org *Sent:* Tuesday, January 12, 2010 3:18 PM *Subject:* Re: [mapserver-users] symbol circle (ellipse) rendered not round but oval hi Oliver :) try with GAP 20 instead of STYLE 1 20 END (which is deprecated btw, use PATTERN now) cheers, thomas On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 15:04, Oliver Christen oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com wrote: hello I have a weird problem with symbology.

Re: [mapserver-users] symbol circle (ellipse) rendered not round but oval
Dear Oliver Christen, Using Mapserver 5.6.0 and AGG rendering, you can achieve what you want by using a combination of ellipse size and gap size in the symbol definition. There is something strange in the calculations (a gap of about half the ellipse size seems to produce touching symbols), so in your case, you could try to use 8 as the diameter of the ellipses, and 20 + 4 (half the ellipse size) = 24 as the gap: symbol name dots type ellipse points 8 8 end gap 24 end Håvard Oliver Christen wrote: thank you Thomas so if I have a dot of, for example, 8px and I want a space pf 20px between the dots, I need a gap of 20/8 = 2.5 but as far as I can see, Mapserver doesnt like none-integer value for gap. what should I do? :( 2010/1/12 thomas bonfort thomas.bonf...@gmail.com mailto:thomas.bonf...@gmail.com gap in pixels = symbol-gap * style-size On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 16:52, Oliver Christen oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com mailto:oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com wrote: GAP 20 is really giving unwanted result: http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache9.png http://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache9.png though using only one style instead of two seems to solve the oval problem (but why ???) style symbol dots size 8 color 204 102 0 outlinecolor 102 51 0 end I dont understand how GAP is supposed working: with GAP 2, I had ~10px between dots, with GAP 3, I had ~18px between dots, with GAP 4, I had ~26px between dots whats the logic ? - Original Message - *From:* thomas bonfort mailto:thomas.bonf...@gmail.com *To:* Oliver Christen mailto:oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com *Cc:* mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org mailto:mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org *Sent:* Tuesday, January 12, 2010 4:36 PM *Subject:* Re: [mapserver-users] symbol circle (ellipse) rendered not round but oval symbol name dots type ellipse points 1 1 end gap 20 end ... style symbol dots size 8 color r g b outlinecolor r g b end On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 16:31, Oliver Christen oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com mailto:oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com wrote: Hi Thomas :) thanks for the answer, but sadely it didnt solve my problem: here are a few tests I did: using GAP 20 gave me really weird result: http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache6_gap_20.png http://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache6_gap_20.png using PATTERN 1 22 END gave me better result, but the dot are still slightly oval: http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache7_pattern.png http://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache7_pattern.png I wondered if the visual effect may have come from the fact im pilling up two circle one over the other, but even when trying to display only the outer or inner circles, the circle are still slightly off: http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache4_outercircle.png http://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache4_outercircle.png http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache5_innercircle.png http://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache5_innercircle.png (both at once http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/tilecache3_bothcircle.png http://dev.camptocamp.com/%7Eochriste/tilecache3_bothcircle.png) any other idea? ^_^ - Original Message - *From:* thomas bonfort mailto:thomas.bonf...@gmail.com *To:* Oliver Christen mailto:oliver.chris...@camptocamp.com *Cc:* mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org mailto:mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org *Sent:* Tuesday, January 12, 2010 3:18 PM *Subject:* Re: [mapserver-users] symbol circle (ellipse) rendered not round but oval hi Oliver :) try with GAP 20 instead of STYLE 1 20 END (which is deprecated btw, use PATTERN now) cheers, thomas On Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 15:04, Oliver Christen
Re: [mapserver-users] symbol circle (ellipse) rendered not round but oval
Thank you Håvard I see you have changed points 1 1 end by points 8 8 end. Tell me if im wrong, but these values are only used to render the proportions of the elipse but not it's size, is that correct? so if I understand correctly, using larger values for the elipse width/height refine the rendering of the vectorised dot geometry ? regards Oliver Dear Oliver Christen, Using Mapserver 5.6.0 and AGG rendering, you can achieve what you want by using a combination of ellipse size and gap size in the symbol definition.
