[mapguide-users] Using Symbols strange behaviour

[Willem Schwarte]

Yes, but I'm on Windows and I think this is only for linux or am I
wrong?

Hi Willem,

 

The source code of the server has those fixes in it already. If you
can't wait, you can compile the server with the latest code from OSGeo
and you would get the fixes.

Okay,

 

So will the open source version of the server also have these
improvements? Is there a date set for a new release?

Willem,

 

Both Studio and the server call the same stylization engine to draw
point symbols (and lines, polygons and labels).  Your new Studio is
using the improved version of the stylization engine, while your server
must be using the old version.  If you installed the server some time
ago, this makes sense.  If you build the server from the current code
base (or install the Enterprise release), it will provide the improved
stylization in your maps.

 

   Ben

Ben,

 

Is this an issue of Studio or Mapguide Server? I have just installed the
new release for Studio. Loaded the transparent symbol worked ok in
Studio. But in my map I still get a black surface for the transparency. 

 

Also the rotated symbol still gives the extra black part. 

 

I'm using mapguide open source for the server. 

 

Willem

Willem,

 

I believe that you are seeing known defects in the preview release, and
there is no workaround for them at this time.  Numerous improvements
have been made to point style rendering since the preview release.  I
just tested these cases using the upcoming release and non-default
reference points, rotations, and png transparency all worked as
expected.

Hi,

 

 

I am trying to use symbols (png) but it does not quite work as I would
like it to.

 

The normal.jpg is the map with symbols loaded normal, but when I change
the reference point in studio, the symbol stays at the same spot?

 

If I use a rotation angle (rotated.jpg) the symbol gets a black colored
part in it?

 

When importing rijdende-afzetting3.png in symbol library, the
transparency is lost? Is this not supported? 

 

Code_b.png is the original picture.

 

Willem
