style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Using Mapserver 5.2 - I
am attempting to use a character
symbol: “|” as a STYLE for the outline of a polygon class. However,
I cannot get the symbol to remain perpendicular to the polygon
boundaries ie:
the symbol is always vertical. Can this be done or should I be using a
vector
or point symbol somehow?</span></font></p>
