[Mapserver-users] Outlinecolor of a MS_LAYER_LINE Type

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

There is a different strategy for rendering lines like you want.

SYMBOL "circle"
COLOR 0 0 0
SIZE 5
OVERLAYCOLOR 255 0 0
OVERLAYSIZE 3

This will draw a 5 pixel wide black line and then draw a 3 pixel wide 
red line on top of it. Which will leave one pixel of black on each 
side of the red line.

You can adjust the colors and widths for different effects.

Hope this helps,
