Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Transparent Pixmap Symbol <BR><BR>Randy: I'm
thinking we have a documentation issue here. I'm not sure that<BR>the
TRANSPARENT option is even supported anymore. Typically MapServer<BR>respects
the transparency of the image itself, so you need to create a <BR>transparent
GIF for that to work. Give that a shot and I'll check the source<BR>(and
update the docs) to make sure.<BR><BR>Steve<BR><BR><BR>>>> Randy How
