[mapserver-users] Persistent Selection

[Ryan, Adam]

Hi,

I have the following in my map file:

  QUERYMAP
    STATUS ON
    STYLE HILITE
    COLOR 255 0 0
  END

I used style = hilite because I want to show all lots (polygons) normally
but the selected lot(s) in some different color.  But the selected lots are
always filled and I want to see the image behind them so I'd like to make
the selected lots outlined, not filled. 

Should I add an additional layer when I query and set the querymap style =
selected?

I'm sorry to beat this to a dead horse but I'm rather confused.

Thanks for any help,

Adam

Hi Adam,

I am not sure why you having a problem. Just turn the FILLED off or use a
COLOR -1 -1 -1 (I think... look at the mapfile reference)... make the
OUTLINECOLOR somethingbright, increase the line thickness, etc.
