[Mapserver-users] Train line

[Paul Ramsey]

Daniel is correct. There is no way to get the actual hatched-line rail 
symbol.

However.

Here is a half-assed approximation. By overlaying a 3-pixel dot on a 
one-pixel line every 7 pixels you get something which looks somewhat 
like the classic train symbology.

CLASS
  NAME "Rail Lines"
  COLOR 0 0 0
  OVERLAYSYMBOL dashed2
  OVERLAYCOLOR 0 0 0
  OVERLAYSIZE 3
END

SYMBOL
  NAME "dashed2"
  TYPE ellipse
  POINTS
   1 1
  END
  STYLE
   1 7
  END
END
