RE: [mapserver-users] Symbology
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 From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Fawcett, David (MPCA) Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 9:20 AM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: FW: [mapserver-users] Symbology Apologies for the dup, my original response got embargoed due to the large image included… From: Fawcett, David (MPCA) Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 9:13 AM To: 'Jay Kapalczynski'; 'Bob Basques'; mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org; 'adams' Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] Symbology I think that someone else pointed out that the path to your symbol image is relative to the location of your map file.

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.

RE: [mapserver-users] symbology showing line direction
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.

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.

What does your layer definition, with the classes look like?
Does your data have the direction column properly populated for
all records?

Re: [mapserver-users] symbology showing line direction
Hi. I'm not sure if I understand what you are trying to do, but if I'm right you need to draw a > symbol over your lines in the direction of the line. If this is what you want you must define a SYMBOL and set it to your line. The trick to get the symbol drawed along line direction is to set the symbol GAP with a negative value. By example: SYMBOL NAME "arrow" TYPE truetype FONT arialbd * CHARACTER '»'* FILLED true ANTIALIAS true *GAP -100* END where the -100 value represents that CHARACTER must be drawed in the direction of the line (the minus) and CHARACTER must be drawed with a GAP of 100 map units between each other (In my case, my map unit is meters, so there will not be two > symbols for the same line in a radius of 100 meters). Then you must use this symbol in your line layer definition as SYMBOL for your CLASS element. Something like: LAYER STYLE ANTIALIAS TRUE COLOR 255 255 255 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0 *SYMBOL "arrow"* SIZE 15 END . END I hope it works for you. Sorry my english. Rodrigo.

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.

RE: [mapserver-users] symbology showing line direction
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. LAYER NAME 'Utilities Sanitary Lines' DATA './UtilitiesSanitaryLines.shp' TYPE LINE STATUS DEFAULT CLASSITEM "Function" CLASS NAME 'Main' EXPRESSION "" STYLE COLOR 85 255 0 SYMBOL "plainline" SIZE 2 END END # end class CLASS NAME 'Low Pressure' EXPRESSION "Low Pressure" STYLE COLOR 255 85 0 SYMBOL "plainline" SIZE 2 END END # end class CLASS NAME 'Sub Trunk' EXPRESSION "Sub Trunk" STYLE COLOR 85 255 0 SYMBOL "plainline" SIZE 2 END END # end class CLASS NAME 'Trunk' EXPRESSION "Trunk" STYLE COLOR 112 168 0 SYMBOL "plainline" SIZE 2 END END # end class CLASS NAME 'Force Main' EXPRESSION "forcemain" STYLE COLOR 255 170 0 SYMBOL 'dashed1' SIZE 2 END END # end class CLASS NAME 'Private' EXPRESSION "private" STYLE COLOR 161 33 240 SYMBOL 'plainline' SIZE 2 END END # end class END #end layer Adam M.

Adam, What does your layer definition, with the classes look like? Does your data have the direction column properly populated for all records?
