[mapguide-users] Re: how can i use <CompoundSymbolDefinition>……

[Steve G]

Here is one way to show arrows:

Another way would be to use the ">" symbol as repeating text content like
this: 

(> is the same as > in terms of html special entities):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SimpleSymbolDefinition
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="1.1.0"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="SymbolDefinition-1.0.0.xsd">
  <Name>Sewer_GravityMain</Name>
  <Graphics>
    <Path>
      <Geometry> M 0.0, 0.0 L 20.0,0.0</Geometry>
      <LineColor>ff00ff00</LineColor>
      <LineWeight>.2</LineWeight>
    </Path>
    <Text>
      <Content>'&gt;'</Content>
      <FontName>'Arial'</FontName>
      <Height>6</Height>
      <PositionX>10</PositionX>
      <PositionY>0</PositionY>
      <TextColor>ff00ff00</TextColor>
    </Text>
  </Graphics>
  <LineUsage>
    <Repeat>20</Repeat>
  </LineUsage>
  <ParameterDefinition />
</SimpleSymbolDefinition>



If you don't understand the syntax, then you should look at the following:
