Oh, wanted to also note that there are some distance methods associated with points in mapscript so that you could avoid the query methods altogether. They are (for a point): - distanceToSegment(a, b); # where a and b are pointObj's - distanceToShape(a); # where a is a shapeObj These are plan

Hi Daniel: Sadly, no. It's primarily because there's only one querymap for potentially all the layers so symbolization could become quite complex as different layers are processed. A better solution is to store a selection style with each layer. Depending on your application you might be able t

May well be a tolerance issue. By default it's in pixels and based on the extent you're setting (I don't know what the map SIZE is set to) it's probably a super tiny value. Have you tried setting a tolerance in map units? E.g. TOLERANCE 5 TOLERANCEUNITS meters # or whatever Just an idea...

Hi Worth: When you define a vector symbol you're essentially defining a default size as well (I believe) relative to 0,0. The SIZE you set is then used to scale the symbol based on that default size. If things are anchored to 0,0 then it generally works ok. I always try to work on the unit square

MapServer 5.4 does open up this possibility. It's not done via substitution but rather by passing a bit of mapfile syntax. For example, ...&map.layer[foo]=LABELITEM+newitem&... However, you must set a validation pattern for MapServer to compare the new value against before it will change it.
