Layers Symbology {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi,

You have to define symbol set, you can put it into a separate file or
you cen define symbols in the map file. Usually the separate file is
prefered.

symbol file (symbols.sym)
SYMBOLSET

SYMBOL  #  standard cicular brush
        NAME 'circle'
        TYPE ELLIPSE
        POINTS 1 1 END
        FILLED TRUE
END

SYMBOL  # cross hatching
        NAME 'fill45'
        TYPE VECTOR
        TRANSPARENT 0
        POINTS
                0 1
                1 0
        END
END

# end of symbol file

map file

....
LAYER # cross hatched polygons
        NAME 'a_polygon_layer'
        ...
        CLASS
                COLOR 60 60 60
                OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
                SYMBOL 'fill45'
                SIZE 3
        END
END

LAYER # thick lines
        NAME 'a_line_layer'
        ...
        CLASS
                SYMBOL 'circle'
                SIZE 3
                COLOR 255 0 0
        END
END
