[Mapserver-users] Roads displaying street directionality

[Fawcett, David]

Please add any symbology examples that you have to the Wiki

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SymbolExamples

Also, it seems like it is sometimes difficult for new users to create symbols.  If someone has a fairly complete symbol file, it would be great if they could include it in the install package or demo or put a link on the Wiki page.

David.
