        I created a measure tool and use the following layer for the
lines: 

        LAYER 
        NAME "custom_solid_line" 
        STATUS ON 
        TYPE LINE 
        POSTLABELCACHE true 
        CLASS 
        SYMBOL "solid" 
        COLOR 255 255 0 
        SIZE 2 
        END 
        END 

        I add lines to the map with code similar to the following: 

        $line = ms_newLineObj(); 
        $line->addXY($x, $y); 
        $shp = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_LINE); 
        $shp->add($line); 
        $layer = $map->getLayerByName("custom_solid_line"); 
        $retVal = $layer->addFeature($shp); 
        $shp->free(); 
        $line->free(); 
        // Draw the map later on ... 

        The problem is the lines don't always stay yellow. I've seen
them green and pinkish too. The color seems to depend on other visible
layers. I've also seen the same phenomenon with the extents box in the
reference map. In fact, the color of the lines and the extent box is
always the same. I.e.: when one changes color the other does too. I do
draw my reference map in a sort of nonstandard way though by drawing the
map and ref. map separately and then pasting them together. 

        Thanks for any help.
