<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">I am trying to create the following symbology in MapServer, a marker line symbol on the border of a polygon, see the following ArcMap screenshot (<a href="https://i.imgur.com/9qN16tx.png" class="">https://i.imgur.com/9qN16tx.png</a>). </div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">I tried the two following options, but could not manage to recreate the above symbology:</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">1. Renders with marker fill on polygon (<a href="https://i.imgur.com/sFFznbq.png" class="">https://i.imgur.com/sFFznbq.png</a>):</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">CLASS</div>
<div class=""> NAME "countries_europe"</div>
<div class=""> STYLE</div>
<div class=""> ANTIALIAS TRUE</div>
<div class=""> COLOR 204 204 204</div>
<div class=""> END</div>
<div class=""> STYLE</div>
<div class=""> ANTIALIAS TRUE</div>
<div class=""> GAP 30</div>
<div class=""> OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0</div>
<div class=""> COLOR 255 0 0 </div>
<div class=""> SIZE 6</div>
<div class=""> SYMBOL 'square'</div>
<div class=""> WIDTH 1.0</div>
<div class=""> END</div>
<div class=""> END</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">2. Renders with marker line symbol on polygon border (<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Qwrw8wP.png" class="">https://i.imgur.com/Qwrw8wP.png</a>), but the marker is missing the fill:</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">CLASS</div>
<div class=""> NAME "countries_europe"</div>
<div class=""> STYLE</div>
<div class=""> ANTIALIAS TRUE</div>
<div class=""> COLOR 204 204 204</div>
<div class=""> END</div>
<div class=""> STYLE</div>
<div class=""> ANTIALIAS TRUE</div>
<div class=""> GAP 30</div>
<div class=""> OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0</div>
<div class=""> SIZE 6</div>
<div class=""> SYMBOL 'square'</div>
<div class=""> WIDTH 1.0</div>
<div class=""> END</div>
<div class=""> END</div>
<div class=""><br class=""></div>
<div class="">Does anyone know whether it is possible to achieve this symbology? It seems the only way to set a picture line symbol on the border of a polygon is to only set the outlinecolor, but then there is no way to set the fill color for the marker. I could not find any any information about this in the documentation or the mailing list. </div>
