Roman,

Line patterns in styles appear to be working only with the new pluggable
renderers (like agg2png) in this regard the STYLEITEM "Style" with the
mapserver STYLE definitions should also do the job. By including the pattern
into the STYLE I think the ogr pattern could also be mapped to mapserver
styles quite easily, I'll see how it could be implemented.


Best regards,

Tamas
