[Mapserver-users] problem adding north arrow to map

[Steve Lime]

The SYMBOL really should be inside the STYLE object, that would make it
less of a kludge. The old keywords at the class level really affect one
of two styles behind the scenes. One main one and one for overlay. Folks
should move away from those shortcuts. Anyway, the behavior described is
really a bug. A SYMBOL should be enough to create a STYLE, just as a
COLOR or OUTLINECOLOR can. I've fixed this in the 4.3 tree.

I'm sure you'll get a better answer than my hackneyed approach, but I
found that a CLASS needs a COLOR in order to show up.  For some reason
for CLASS-es that really shouldn't have a COLOR (like yours), the
empty
STLE does the trick.

But I will now move aside for those who know the nitty gritty . . .
