[mapserver-users] Polygon symbols

[Stephen Lime]

Stephan: Sure, lot's of them. Here's a sample hashed one:

  SYMBOL
    NAME 'hash'
    TYPE VECTOR
    POINTS
      0 0
      1 1
    END
  END

The POINTS section defines a line going from 0,0 to 1,1 on the unit 
square (sorta like this - /). That line is turned into a simple brush and
is used to fill the polygon. You can also create images outside of MapServer
to do the same thing.

Are there symbols available to "shade" a polygon with something like
diagonal lines or interspersed dots instead of actual color shades?
If not, is it possible to create some and add them to the symbol file?

Thanks,
Stephan
