Jeff,<br>
<br>
I tried that already.<br>
<br>
What I'm basically after is a sysmbol that is a empty circle with a
thickness aplied to the line. Ideally it would be a symbol like
anyother that I could apply a COLOR and OUTLINECOLOR to.<br>
<br>
Paco's idea of the close "u" shap would work if I didn't need to
outline it.<br>
<br>
I also ran into another slight problem as well (may Paco has some ideas
about this too.)<br>
<br>
I was trying to use this symbol as a distance measuring tool. but
seemed to run into a snag with a size limit. I couldn't get the
symbol to go over a certain pixel size. The circle is supposed to
represent a distance buffer in miles (ground units).<br>
<br>
If I zoom in too close, the symbol won't get any larger than a certain
size, about 500 pixels I would guess. I actually have three of these
symbols stacked on top of each other for different distances. But the
size of the symbol grow as I zoom in, but once I hit this max pixel
size, the sysbol stop growing at this approx 500 pixel size.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<pre wrap="">I haven't tried this , so it may not work, I've always used filled in
shapes.. but couldn't you just use a non-filled in circle:
SYMBOL
NAME "circle"
TYPE ellipse
FILLED false
POINTS
1 1
END
END
and then set its size appropriately? I'm not sure if there is a good way
to affect the thickness though, other than stacking several of them with
varying sizes.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Donut Symbol.

<pre wrap="">Does anyone know of a good way to make a donut symbol.
I need to be able to resize a symbol that is basically a donut. Where the
donut part is semi-opaque, and the center is open. It's basically a
min/max distance from a point overlay. I have the dynamic handing off of
the sizing handled already, but haven't figured out a good way to make a
filled donut symbol.
I did mange to make a stacked symbol, but I would really like to have the
center no be filled in, only the area between the MIN/MAX distance from
the point picked.
Thanks
