[mapserver-users] outlinesize of polygon ?

I am using Mapserver 3.4, and these solutions do not work.  The
first simply fills the polygon with circles, while the second
does a solid fill for the polygon.  Is this a 3.4 versus 3.5
issue?  How does mapserver distinguish between what to use to
draw the outline of the polygon and what to use to fill the
polygon?  For example, in the first solution below, how does
mapserver know whether the polygon should be outlined using the
circle symbol or filled with the circle symbol?

Sorry if this is documented somewhere, but I could not find it in
the either the 3.3 doc or the 3.5 doc.  Thanks!
