Re: [mapserver-users] Attribute based symbol
You can bind a style symbol to an attribute. The value needs to be the name of a system already loaded by MapServer or the name of a local image. You cannot reference a image url.

Re: [mapserver-users] Attribute based symbol
It doesn't seem to be working for me I get the following error from apache: [MapServer Error]: msAddImageSymbol(): Error opening image file /var/www/htdocs/maps/[symbol]. I am using the symbol as: SYMBOL [symbol] I also tried SYMBOL [symbol] neitehr works Is this only possible with mapserver 5? I believe I am using 4.10 Thank you -Adam On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 2:26 PM, Steve Lime steve.l...@dnr.state.mn.uswrote: You can bind a style symbol to an attribute.
