symbol question

[Till Adams]

Bart,

(I guess you mean the "x---x" symbol)

Define two symbols, the "line" as usual and the "x" and include a "GAP"
in the definition of the x-symbol, e.g.

SYMBOL
        NAME "frontier"
        TYPE truetype
        FONT ttf_1
        FILLED True
        ANTIALIAS True
        GAP 30
        Character "D"
END

The GAP is the distance ms uses between the drawing of the single
crosses. Then use sth. like:

     CLASS
      NAME 'Object'
      EXPRESSION /^sth/
      STYLE
       SYMBOL 'line'
       SIZE 3
       COLOR 0 0 0
      END
      STYLE
       SYMBOL 'frontier'
       SIZE 12
       COLOR 0 0 0
      END
     END  # CLASS

Cheers, Till ;-)
