Pierre,

you can do this with styles (size and symbols). For example:

MAP
...
  SYMBOL
  NAME 'outline'
  TYPE ELLIPSE
  POINTS 1 1 END
  FILLED true
  END

  SYMBOL
    NAME "hatchfill"
    TYPE vector
    TRANSPARENT 0
    POINTS
      0 1
      1 0
    END
  END
...
  LAYER
...
    TYPE POLYGON
...
    CLASS
...
      STYLE # thickened-diagonal-hatch-fill
        COLOR     255 0 0
        SYMBOL  "hatchfill"
        SIZE         3
      END

      STYLE # thickened outline
        OUTLINECOLOR     0 255 0
        SYMBOL  'outline'
        SIZE         5
      END
    END
  END
END

You can define the symbol to whatever you want. You can draw a connected
line (e.g. looking like "<" ) or a seperated line (e.g. looking like "X"
). For the seperation use a point with "-99 -99".
