hello all.<br><br>i am trying to read a mapfile which has a hatch symbol defined as:<br><br>SYMBOL<br> NAME "hatch test"<br> TYPE hatch<br>END<br><br>once i make some changes to the mapfile and write it out to file, the "TYPE hatch" disappears from the symbol definition for some reason. <br>
<br>as a workaround, i thought i could add the hatch symbol to the mapfile via mapscript, but the only symbol type constants that appear in the API are :<br><pre class="literal-block">MS_SYMBOL_SIMPLE, MS_SYMBOL_VECTOR, MS_SYMBOL_ELLIPSE,<br>
MS_SYMBOL_PIXMAP, MS_SYMBOL_TRUETYPE, MS_SYMBOL_CARTOLINE<br><br>i am running mapserver v5.0<br><br>has anyone had similar problems?<br><br>thanks in advance for any help.<br><br>ak<br><br></pre><br>
