Today's CVS, labels that follow street segments and antialias lines

[Steve Lime]

I believe you create a symbol like this:

SYMBOL
  TYPE SIMPLE
  NAME 'dash_10_on_10_off'
  STYLE '10 10'
END

STYLE
  SYMBOL 'dash_10_on_10_off'
  COLOR 170 153 34
  WIDTH 5
  ANTIALIAS TRUE
END

OK, changing the mapfile to look like this, but reading the threads on 
this I thought you could use SYMBOL "circle" with SIZE n also.

How to I get dashed AA lines?
