SV: [Spam] Re: [mapserver-users] Rendering line crossing iteslf

Yes, I can't see any solutions, other doing something special in the
crossings, or maybe exploding the theme into all segments, and create a
layer for each segment. But that seems to be a troublesome way to get around
the problem.

The image examples I supplied, was made with ArcGIS. Here it's just outline
definition on a line theme. 
Is there no way to do the same in Mapserver ?
