[Mapserver-users] Outlinecolor of a MS_LAYER_LINE Type

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

  The overlayxxx elements have been removed from php/mapscript since 
version 4.0. They are still supported in mapserver while reading the map 
file for backward compatibility.

   Mapserver now allows you to have several styles in a class. The 
styles object  have basically all the rendering parameters (symbol, 
color, backgroundcolor ...) that were inside the class object.

   In your case you can define 2 styles in the class object to have the 
desired effect.  Php/mapscript provide functions to create and deal with 
style objects.

  Hope It helps.

Assefa,
