[mapserver-users] RE: How to change the line width

William,

You need to create a symbol.sym file and include in it :

Symbol
Name 'circle'
Type ELLIPSE
Filled TRUE
Points
1 1
END
END

then add to the top of your make file

SYMBOLSET "/path/to/symbol.sym"

you can copy a more complete symbol file the the mapserver demo app.
