[mapserver-users] How to fill in an area to the right of a line

[Michael Shishcu]

Hi Matt,

with symbol you are limited to 50 by default but can redefined to something
bigger, see MAXSIZE for CLASS in docs
though you can create a new polygon to cover the sea near the coast. I'm
not sure which way is faster in production, just make some tests

regards, michael
