Placing a dynamic marker

[Tamas Szekeres]

Hi,

Here is a sample to create inline symbols:

            mapObj myMap = new mapObj();
            layerObj myLayer = new layerObj(myMap);

            symbolObj symbol = new symbolObj("mySymbol", null);
            symbol.type = (int)MS_SYMBOL_TYPE.MS_SYMBOL_VECTOR;
            symbol.filled = mapscript.MS_TRUE;
            lineObj line = new lineObj();
            line.add(new pointObj(1, 5, 0, 0));
            line.add(new pointObj(1, 3, 0, 0));
            line.add(new pointObj(3, 2, 0, 0));
            line.add(new pointObj(1, 1, 0, 0));
            line.add(new pointObj(1, 3, 0, 0));
            symbol.setPoints(line);
            symbol.sizex = 10;
            symbol.sizey = 10;

            myMap.symbolset.appendSymbol(symbol);

            classObj classtest = new classObj(myLayer);
            classtest.name = "test";

            styleObj myStyle = new styleObj(classtest);
            myStyle.symbolname = "mySymbol";
            myStyle.symbol = myMap.symbolset.index("mySymbol");
            myStyle.size = 150;
            myStyle.color = new colorObj(255, 0, 0, 1);


For adding features to the layer:

            shapeObj shp = new shapeObj(MS_SHAPE_TYPE.MS_SHAPE_POINT);
            lineObj line = new lineObj();
            line.add(new pointObj(x,y,0,0));
            shp.add(line);
            myLayer.addFeature(shp);
