PHP/MapScript: How to add a point as an inline feature ?

[Lars V. Nielsen (Hvenegaard)]

Thanks Artur,

It works, and it was simple, but I just couldn't see it :-)

I had an additional problem, having trouble getting transparent pixmap
symbols to display transparently. I got that solved too, now my display
problem was fixed.

Appararently setting  $layer->set("transparency",MS_GD_ALPHA)  in MapScript
trashes the mapfile layer setting  TRANSPARENCY ALPHA, rendering the symbols
in the layer non-transparent. !??

lokk a this code:

$spoint = ms_newPointObj();
    $spoint->setXY(your x, your y);

$sline = ms_newLineObj();
    $sline->add($spoint);

$sshape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_POINT);
    $sshape->add($sline);

$slayer = $gpoMap->getLayerByName("selpoint");
$slayer->addFeature($sshape);

this works for me - adds dynamic point to a layer, layer is set in mapfile,
like this:

LAYER
    NAME selpoint
    TYPE POINT
    STATUS DEFAULT
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326" #lon/latwgs84
END
   CLASS
       NAME "selpoint"
       STYLE
          SYMBOL 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mapserver\framedefs\etc\tutaj_red.gif'
       END
   END
END

is this what your looking for?

Hello list,

Using MapScript 4.5, and I've now re-read the class doc several times, but I
can't seem to find the appropriate way to add points to a layer as inline
features.

Adding features to a layer require shapeObj's. I can create a shape with
type MS_SHAPE_POINT, but can't set the coordinate values.

I can use the x and y to create a pointObj, but can't seem to find a way to
use a pointObj to create a shapeObj.

I probably missing something obvious here, but what ? Please help ....
