[Mapserver-users] Railway-line style

[Stepan Kafka]

You can use truetype symbols eg. "|" overlayed upon the line. See
documentation. Here you have an example of the symbol definition:

SYMBOL
  NAME "railway"
  TYPE truetype
  FONT arial
  CHARACTER "|"
  GAP 25 # distance between symbols
END

In layer class definition (form 3.6.x, in 3.7 and 4.0 use rather STYLE) then


CLASS
  SYMBOL 'circle'
  COLOR 0 0 0
  SIZE 1
  OVERLAYSYMBOL 'railway'
  OVERLAYCOLOR 0 0 0
  OVERLAYSIZE 10
END

You may aslo use your own truetype symbols as you need.

Good luck
