layers. the first has all the points; the second has only the latest point. Make
the second layer the upper layer and give it a different symbol. Maybe that
would do the job for you.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>G'day all,
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I have been looking and reading, but I'm not sure I'm looking for the right
thing.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I have a number of points from satellite based tracking, giving me a list
of longitude, latitude and a timestamp. These are fairly regular, and although I
can display the points on the map window and see where animals have moved to, I
can't tell which way they moved just by looking. We vets need to know what came
first...</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>So I thought I could convert adjacent points (temporally) into line
segments, (earliest point first, latter point last), but I can't find anywhere
in Mapserver that seem to explicitly explain how to do this (or whether it can
be done). </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Can anyone either :</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>direct me to the
right place, or </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>give me a set of
keywords which might get me to the right place, or</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>advise me to
give up for now?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
