Hi,<br><br>AFAIK you cannot create variable in the map file, but you can use the<br>cpp (the c preprocessor) to create macro substitution.<br>For example<br>#define HIGHWAY_COLOR 123 43 112<br>#define HIGHWAY_MAX_SCALE 1600
<br><br>...<br> MAXSCALE HIGHWAY_MAX_SCALE<br>...<br> COLOR HIGHWAY_COLOR<br>...<br><br>then<br>cpp map_file_with_defines > generated_map_file<br><br>Bye<br>Zoltan<br><br>On Mon, 30 Jan 2006, Jerl Simpson wrote:
