[mapserver-users] Re: Transparent outline

[Sidnei de Souza]

I think what is really happening is that MapServer is drawing the
polygons always with outline.

If I specify "outlinecolor -1 -1 -1" or don't specify outlinecolor at
all, it draws the outline with the same color used to fill the polygon.

We tested the same layer on ArcView and if we ask ArcView to use
outlinecolor = fill color, the result is the same as MapServer. If we
ask ArcView not to use outline, the result is equal to MapObjects.

Any new ideas on this? Please!
