[mapserver-users] line of true type symbols; marker filling

[Praktikant/in2 ARP]

Hello Stephen,

I wonna make a line out of a symbol from a TrueTypeFont (when the symbol is
already defined in the .sym file)
but I cannot do it with spacing between each symbol. they always go one
after another to form the line.
Is there like a STYLE command where I can define the space width?

how can I actually insert a symbol (TrueType) with a filling? can I make it
a composite marker in the mapfile when I have 2 symbols (one for the
outline, one for the filling) in the .sym file to superpose ? or is there a
FILL*? command which creates the filling? (its not working with the
BACKGROUNDCOLOR/COLOR commands --> result is transparent)

thank you.
Doreen Wenzel.
