[mapserver-users] php/mapscript HATCH symbol

[alim karim]

hello all.

i am trying to read a mapfile which has a hatch symbol defined as:

SYMBOL
   NAME "hatch test"
   TYPE hatch
END

once i make some changes to the mapfile and write it out to file, the "TYPE
hatch" disappears from the symbol definition for some reason.

as a workaround, i thought i could add the hatch symbol to the mapfile via
mapscript, but  the only symbol type constants that appear in the API are :

MS_SYMBOL_SIMPLE,  MS_SYMBOL_VECTOR, MS_SYMBOL_ELLIPSE,
MS_SYMBOL_PIXMAP, MS_SYMBOL_TRUETYPE, MS_SYMBOL_CARTOLINE

i am running mapserver v5.0

has anyone had similar problems?

thanks in advance for any help.
