[mapserver-users] polygon symbol image fill problem

[John Callahan]

@Matt: I doubt I can use the standard symbol features of Mapserver.  Maybe.
 The hatch symbol is but one example.  I have approx 10 - 20 image-based
fills of all different types.  These were created for our published,
standardized geologic maps.  Our web-based maps need to look identical to
our publications.  Thanks for the suggestion.

@Havard: Thanks for the info.  I'm glad there's a fix for this in 6.2.   I
can wait until then.
