[mapguide-users] trouble replicating interstate symbol definition

Thu Aug 7 11:21:33 EDT 2008

I encode the image directly in the XML.  Try substituting your symbol
for this one.

Thanks,

Martin

As far as I know, yes. So far, I have had all other composite symbols I
have created work for me. But this is the first one where I am trying to
include an image in the symbol, and I have apparently not figured out
how that is supposed to work.

Just wondering aloud here...are composite symbol definitions supported
in 1.2?  I know I have them working in 2.x.

Thanks,

Has anyone else tried to implement interstate signs?

Thanks.

	I have been reading RFC 14 to understand composite features, and

in the

highway

badge,

	stored as a .png file in a symbol library, and I am having no
luck. I

simply

	copied and pasted the xml for the symbol, changing my library
paths,

and I

	only get the text to show up. Here's what I did:

	-downloaded image of highway badges
	-cropped image to one I needed
	-uploaded to symbol library through studio 2008
	-copy/pasted code for symbol definition and changed path
	-tried creating layer using pointing to symbol

	I first tried only the highway badge. But after that, I tried a
	CompoundSymbolDefinition that included 2 paths to draw the road
in

yellow

	and black. Everything but the badge showed up. I thought maybe
editing

the

	image caused some issues, but I was able to use the image as a
W2D

stream in

	a PointSymbolization2D layer.

	Can anyone help me determine what I have done wrong here? My
setup is

MGOS

	1.2, win XP, apache + php.

	I am including the files that I used to go through this process.
