Ok, I read through this, and it was helpful, but i can't figure how to do exactly what I need.<br http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"><br>What I essentialy want to do is make the symbol act as though it were the "background image" of the polygon.

Hello all.<br http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"><br>I have a question that may or may not have been answered before, but I can't seem to find anything on it.<br><br>Is it possible with mapserver to make a symbol fill the entire area of a polygon feature? In other words, can I provide an image as the symbol, and have that symbol completely fill the polygon, regardless of the width and height dimensions of the image?<br><br>Thank you,<br><br>-Adam<br> </p>
