A couple of additional steps.<br>
<br>
1). Add SYMBOLSET as the first line in your symbol file<br>
<br>
2). In the mapfile, in the MAP section add a line<br>
<br>
SYMBOLSET /path/to/symbolset_file<br>

guys for your thoughts...still green to this and trying to learn<br>
I would make real sense to me to create the .sym file where I would not have to

DO I HAVE THIS RIGHT? <br>

1. BUT how do I define the symbol set or point to the .sym file from the

You can put the symbol definition in your map file, or in a symbols file (e.g.
symbols.sym) and then set SYMBOLSET at the MAP level to point to your
symbols.sym file.<br>

Ok that seems to make sense...but where do I place the image SYMBOL (your
example below)? DO I place that in the map file as well?<br>
Little confused there....<br>
<br>
Thanks Michael and Adam for your return replys.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
yes, you have to define an image symbol in your symbolset and use that:<br>
<br>
SYMBOL<br>
NAME 'church'<br>
TYPE pixmap<br>
IMAGE 'church.gif'<br>
TRANSPARENT 5<br>
END<br>
<br>
then use<br>
SYMBOL 'church' in your style.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Michael<br>
