Hi all,
=20
I=92m hoping someone can point out what might be going wrong here.
Following the instructions in the wiki, I am trying to add a north arrow
to may map. I=92ve got a basic north arrow image (northarrow1.gif), =
I=92ve
added a pixmap symbol referencing it, and I=92ve added a layer to the =
map.
However, the GIF never shows. I=92ve tried this in both a mapscript app
and the basic Itasca demo, same result. I know there is nothing wrong
with the GIF or symbol definition, as it shows fine if I use this symbol
on a =93regular=94 layer rather than a feature layer. Any ideas? Have I
defined the feature layer wrongly? Here are my symbol def and layer def:
=20
  SYMBOL #North Arrow
    NAME "northarrow1"
    TYPE pixmap
    IMAGE "northarrow1.gif"
  END
=20
    LAYER
        NAME "North Arrow"
        STATUS DEFAULT
        TRANSFORM FALSE
        TYPE POINT
        FEATURE
          POINTS 250 250 END
        END
        CLASS
            SYMBOL 'northarrow1'
        END
  END
=20
Thanks in advance.
