[Mapserver-users] Too Many Symbols

[David Mitchell]

There is a limit of 64 symbols per file built into mapserver. You can 
extend this by editing mapsymbol.h

In there there is a #define MS_MAXSYMBOLS 64, change this number to 
whatever suits.

This information can be found in the mapserver mapfile reference in the 
symbology notes.
