Precise symbol placement is among the issues that are being
addressed in RFC45 (Symbology, Labeling, and Cartography
Improvements)
URL: http://mapserver.osgeo.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-45.html
In RFC45, a new tag called CENTER or ORIGIN is proposed. ANCHORPOINT
is perhaps a better name for it.

the maximum number of points that can be used
by default it's 100. you can change the MS_MAXVECTORPOINTS constant in
mapsymbol.h to change that limit.
and the highest positive/negative numbers that can be used.

Thomas,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
If I take just part of the above then it still doesn't work:
SYMBOL
NAME 'boulderGeometry'
TYPE VECTOR
FILLED FALSE
POINTS
-0.154 0.236
-0.111 0.365
-0.116 0.501

Another potential solution would be to create a true
type font character and use that as your symbol.
That might be worth a try. I'll be working on this problem later today wo
will give it a go and see how I get on. I also want to try getting the
polyline points into a vector format just to
I believe the size is computed from the max x, y coordinates and 0,0. That size
(and the Style size) is then used
to offset the symbol so it is centered accordingly. Typically I always develop
vector symbols on a unit square (0
to 1) so that things work predictably. As suggested later in this
I've been struggling with this problem all day and cannot make any progress.
I hope that someone can help.
I want to convert a polyline points array into a MapServer Symbol but keep
getting errors.
Here's the polyline array:
polyline points='-0.154,0.236 -0.111,0.365 -0.116,0.501 -
0.165,0.616
