[mapguide-users] Symbols rotation and colors

[Rich Bauer]

Hi,

It sound like you what to use themes.   If you use Studio, then that it 
fairly easy.  Once you have the feature source and layer defined, select 
"Theme >>" under the style for the scale range and input your filter 
expression.  If you want to use only code, that is beyond me.  Hope it 
helps.
