[mapserver-users] draw hatch pattern with image file (ex. gif, etc)

[Isao NASUNO]

Hi, Thomas,
Thank you for your response.
But, my question was wrong, I am sorry. What I want to do is filling up
polygon with a pattern using image file with transparency attribute.

Finally I found how to do it as following.

------------
   :
type polygon
class
   name "xxxxx"
   expression "x"
   color 255 200 200
   style
     symbol "pattern"  #
   end
end
------------
SYMBOL
     NAME "pattern"
     TYPE pixmap
     image /home/myhome/pattern.gif
     transparent 1  # color index
END
------------

It's closed, thank you,
