[mapguide-users] Mark objects from diferent layers

[Dave Wilson]

I believe it's possible. In building your SDF include a property for the
type (circles, squares) and then you can manually theme on that type to
enable different symbols for each theme category.

Thanks Dave, Now I dont undestand how to define the style of the new
layer. For example, suppose that I have a map with two layers, circles
and squares. Layer circle use the symbol "symbol-circle" (black-circle)
and layer squares use "symbol-square" (black-square).
Now I need to paint to red some circles and some squares. How is the
configuration of the style of the new layer so I can to paint circles
and squares in the same layer?
In other words a newby question, Can a layer show objects with diferent
symbols? and if would be possible to do this how is the configuration?
 
Thanks, Claudio.

You could define your own SDF and add the objects from the various
layers to that then create a new layer based on this temporary SDF and
style it as you please. This is somewhat similar to the buffer concept
only you have more objects to parse from each layer or possibly a
selection set to add to your own SDF. You may have to query each layer
independently and call a routine to add them to your temporary SDF.
 
Regards,
Dave

Hello, I ve have a map with diferent layers an now I need to paint in
red some objects from diferent layers (these objects are the result of a
process).
To paint objects of one layer I did the following: 
First I did a temporal feature source and a temporal layer. This layer
is almost the same that original layer of the objects that I need to
paint.
The diferences are, the new layer use the temporal feature source, a new
feature class and was add the color red in the symbol definition.
Then I add to the map objects of the new feature class in the same x y
that original objects and every works fine.
But now I've have to paint objects from diferent layers and I dont know
how to do this using one temporal layer. is posible to do this using
only one temporal layer?
 
Thanks in advance, Claudio.
