[mapserver-users] Transparent territory radius

[Martin, Daniel]

I needed the shape to be generated from MapServer using a POINT layer.  If
you define the a POINT symbol as a diagonalfill of 60 kilometers, you get
one giant diagonalfill rather than a circle in a diagonalfill pattern.

However as Steve points out, the TRANSPARENCY feature of the LAYER object
added in 3.6 works brilliantly.  I've already redesigned several other
things using this feature too.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Dan Martin

Hi Daniel,

Is there a reason you have to do it this way? How about just creating a
circle shape and filling it with a diagonalfill?

Sorry for the HTML format if you cannot handle it.  It's the easiest way to
get my point across. I am trying to create 30 kilometer radius territory
rings that are transparent.  I succeeded, but not in the way I want.  I
created a PIXMAP symbol that (when blown up) looks like this:
