[Mapserver-users] Customize style in WMS layers

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

SLD is used for this purpose. But the remote WMS server must then support 
the SLD WMS interface, which you should be able to deduct from its 
GetCapabilities interface.

Normally a GetMap request is accompanied by an SLD document (by URL or 
with SLD_BODY, see OGC spec for exact details) in order to influence the 
style/symbology in which a layer will be drawn.

Examples can be found on the Wiki:

Best regards,
Bart
