Hello all,<br><br>I was experimenting with "Cartographic Symbol Construction with Mapserver". I tried the line styles and the hatch symbol. The web page worked okay, all layers were drawn and the symbols were great.<br>
<br>I used mapserver version 5.0.0 with Php Mapscript. <br><br><br>Layer with carto symbol style<br>-------------------------<br><br>#*******************************<br>#* layer definition main_quad1*<br>#******************************* <br>
LAYER<br> NAME mainrd_qd<br> METADATA<br> "DESCRIPTION" "mainrd_w_index"<br> "GNAME" "geography Layers"<br> END<br><br> GROUP geo<br> TYPE LINE<br> STATUS OFF<br>
DATA mainrd<br><br> CLASS<br> NAME "mnrd"<br> #TEMPLATE '/templates/Minor_RD_qry.html'<br> STYLE<br> COLOR 183 147 40<br> WIDTH 4<br> END<br> STYLE<br> COLOR 242 191 36<br>
WIDTH 2<br> END<br><br> END<br> END # end layer main_quad1<br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br><br>This worked about 10 times and then the output image went blank. The web page gives me no error, The scalebar for the output image is drawn, the legend icons for the html legend are drawn but, none of the layers are drawn in the output map image. I tried setting all the layers' "STATUS" to "ON/DEFAULT" but that didn't fix it.<br>
<br>I tested the mapfile with the shp2img utility and I got the same blank ouput image with only the scalebar in 5.0.0. Creating a new mapfile from scratch with same styles etc seemed to fix the problem. But again after about 10 times of drawing the map the same issue came back.<br>
<br><br>I then tried the same mapfile with the shp2img utility in Mapserver 5.2 and I get the same
issue.<br>
Any ideas on why is this happening? Has anybody ever run into this issue before?<br><br><br><br>Thanks,<br>Ishwari<br>
