[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Try a negative gap value (e.g. GAP -20)...

Subject: [mapserver-users] MapServer - how to draw a ttf-symbol along a line which follows the line

Hello list,

I want to draw a ttf-symbol along a line which follows the line.

With the definition I use at the moment the symbol is drawn along the
line, but the angle of the symbol is always the same and does not follow
the line.

I use MapServer 5.6.3., problem occurs with AGG and GD rendering.

Is there a parameter I missed? Any idea?

Thanks for your help

Astrid


This is my symbol:
	SYMBOL
		NAME 'hecke'
		TYPE TRUETYPE
		FONT 'symbols'
		CHARACTER 'ª'
		GAP 20
	END


This is the definition in the mapfile:
	STYLE
		COLOR 0 0 0
		SYMBOL 'hecke'
		SIZE 4
		MINSIZE 3
		MAXSIZE 5
	END
