what is polyline

[imap at chesapeake.net]

Markus,

I believe that

Polyline is  FROM, TO, TO, TO, TO, etc.

Use polyline for rendering outlines and polygons for fills.
You can do both like this:

LAYER
  NAME ctycu
  TYPE POLYGON
  STATUS ON
  DATA "ctyindex"
  CLASS
    SYMBOL 0
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
    COLOR 255 255 204
  END
END


Use both OUTLINECOLOR and COLOR for your CLASS item.

Later,

-Chris
