[Mapserver-users] CAD like line styles

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

It sounds like you ask if we have line cap styles or another 
mechanism to clip the symbol being draw to the length of the line 
segment it is being drawn along.

I don't think mapserver has anything like that. 

And I think you will run into a similar problem if you are using a 
symbol along cross hatching of a polygonal boundary. Think of a wide 
pattern the intersects a polygon boundary at an angle. The pattern 
will not be clipped by the polygon boundary. I think this will be 
more pronounced with larger patterns.
