[Geomoose-users] Symbol creation?

[Johan Forsman]

Hello All:

I have studied the documentation regarding creating one's own symbols, specifically for hydrography. With tips collected from a little bit of everywhere I was able to create a very nice representation for intermittent streams but am having limited success creating one to represent a human-made canal.

For the intermittent stream I used

SYMBOL # Three dots, one line
	NAME "dash3dot2"
	TYPE ellipse
	POINTS 1 1 END
	FILLED true
	PATTERN 1 5 1 5 1 5 12 5 END
END

For the human-made canal I want something that looks similar to a repeating "T", as in

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I did try to use a T from the Arial family, but two issues came up: 1) There were spaces between the letters; and 2) The letters did not turn with the lines but where always upright.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Johan.
