[Geomoose-users] ***PROBABLY FRAUD*** Re: Error in pdf-print module for point shapefiles when they use SYMBOL in the STY

[Athanasis Nikolaos]

 thank you  for the very quick answer!
 
 
I use the  star symbol that comes with the symbol.sym file:
Symbol

Name 'star'

Type VECTOR

FILLED TRUE

Points

0 .375

.35 .375

.5 0

.65 .375

1 .375

.75 .625

.875 1

.5 .75

.125 1

.25 .625

END

END 

 
I checked out that this error also happens with PIXMAP symbols. In advance, the problem also appears in  the DEMO map of Geomoose as well, when you zoom in and the little red stars appear on the screen. At this time, when you try to print then a internal server error appears.
 
Thank you again! Please any suggestions!

Athanasis,
 
Is it a raster symbol or a MapServer symbol?  If I had to guess, I would bet it was related to the symbol being a raster (bitmap) symbol, and the PDF maker having a hard time trying to apply that in the final output.  Either the Symbol can't be found or the name is referenced differently in more than one spot.
 
Can you send some more details about the symbol type.

Hello,
 
I am facing the following problem: When I add a layer in the statedemo.xml file about points that uses a SYMBOL in its STYLE, then the whole map cannot be printed.
 
This appears ONLY in point shape files and ONLY if they use a SYMBOL and ONLY if the specific layer is active when you try to print the whole map!
 
The log file shows the following:
 
[Mon Nov 26 19:39:53 2007] [error] [client 195.251.137.181]     def draw(*args): return _mapscript.mapObj_draw(*args)\r, referer: http://195.251.137.181/geomoose/statedemo.html

In my web browser i get an :"Internal Server error", when i print the map, and ONLY if the specific layer is active
 
 
The dexamenes.map file contains the following:
 
LAYER

NAME 'dexamenes'

CONNECTIONTYPE ogr

CONNECTION "lesvos.mdb"

 

DATA "DEXAMENES_LATH"

STATUS DEFAULT

TYPE Point

CLASS NAME ""

STYLE

SYMBOL star

COLOR 0 0 255

SIZE 10

END

END

 

PROJECTION

'init=epsg:2100'

END

END #LAYER

 
 
Please, does anyone know if there is a solution to this problem?
 
Thank you in advance,
