Hmm, still not getting the spacing correct.  The crossties seem to be at a consistent interval, but the dashed centerline isn't spacing well- sometimes I get ties centered on the line (which is whaat I want), and sometimes the ties are at the end of a dash.<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: thomas bonfort [mailto:thomas.bonfort@gmail.com]<br>Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 11:21 AM<br>To: Bistrais, Bob<br>Cc: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br>Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Abandoned railroad symbol<br><br>SYMBOL<br>  NAME "tie"<br>  TYPE TRUETYPE<br>  FONT "path/to/arial.ttf"<br>  CHARACTER "|"<br>END<br><br><br>CLASS<br>    EXPRESSION ('[STATUS]' = '3')<br># The crossties:<br>    STYLE<br>      COLOR 200 200 200<br>      SIZE 4<br>      SYMBOL "tie"<br>      GAP -10<br>    END<br># The centerline:<br>    STYLE<br>      COLOR 200 200 200<br>      WIDTH 1<br>      PATTERN<br>        5 10<br>      END<br>    END<br><br>  END<br><br>On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 17:15, Bistrais, Bob <Bob.Bistrais@maine.gov> wrote:<br>> I've been playing around with the symbology but I'm not getting my spacing<br>> right.  I'm trying to create a symbol for abandoned railroad track, looks<br>> like the standard RR symbol, a line with the crossties, but dashed.  Here is<br>> my code.  Problem is, although I get a dashed line and the crossties, the<br>> interval isn't correct, and I was wondering if anyone had advice on making<br>> it more consistent so the crossties are always on the dashed line:<br>><br>><br>><br>>   CLASS<br>><br>>     EXPRESSION ('[STATUS]' = '3')<br>><br>> # The crossties:<br>><br>>     STYLE<br>><br>>       COLOR 200 200 200<br>><br>>       WIDTH 4<br>><br>>       LINECAP BUTT<br>><br>>       ANGLE 90<br>><br>>       PATTERN<br>><br>>         1 10<br>><br>>       END<br>><br>>     END<br>><br>> # The centerline:<br>><br>>     STYLE<br>><br>>       COLOR 200 200 200<br>><br>>       WIDTH 1<br>><br>>       PATTERN<br>><br>>         5 10<br>><br>>       END<br>><br>>     END<br>><br>><br>><br>>   END<br>><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> mapserver-users mailing list<br>> mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br>> <a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users</a><br>><br>><br>_______________________________________________<br>mapserver-users mailing list<br>mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users</a><br>
