[Mapserver-users] [SLD] Trouble with <ExternalGraphic>

[Jean-Denis Giguere]

I'm trying to use en external graphic fill as PolygonSymbolizer.

I have 2 problems.

First, the exemple in the document "OGC SLD support in Mapserver" in not
valid SLD and the hyperlink doesn't work. So it is hard to understand
how it works. The problem is that

<OnlineResource>
http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/msapps/world_testdata/map/etc/target-1.gif
</OnlineResource>
<Format>PNG</Format>

should be

<OnlineResource xlink:type="simple"					
xlink:href="http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/msapps/world_testdata/map/etc/target-1.gif"
/>
<Format>image/gif</Format>

Secondly,

With my SLD, I don't get graphic fill, but only solid fill.

This is the pertinent extract of my SLD. Sadly, my server is not
accessible from the internet...

<PolygonSymbolizer>
	<Geometry>
		<ogc:PropertyName>the_area</ogc:PropertyName>
	</Geometry>
	<Fill>
		<GraphicFill>
			<Graphic>
	   			<ExternalGraphic>
					<OnlineResource 	    xlink:type="simple"			
xlink:href="http://rerun/symbol/img/B50k/vegetation_vignoble.png"
					/>
					<Format>image/png</Format>
				</ExternalGraphic>
				<Size>5.0</Size>
     		</Graphic>
     	</GraphicFill>
     </Fill>
</PolygonSymbolizer>

Any idea of what I do wrong ?

Thank you,

Jean-Denis
