Layer/class definitions

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Gerard,

STYLE is the new way (starting Mapserver 4.0) to do things, AFAIK it was invented so that you can use multiple STYLEs in a CLASS, which gives you a lot more options with respect to symbology.

I would advise you to use the first example you gave, ie the new way.

Best regards,
Bart

Hi list, 
Can someone tell me the difference between these two class definitions? What does the style do?
 CLASS
  STYLE
   COLOR 0 0 0
   SIZE 1
   SYMBOL dashed
  END
 END

as opposed to 
 CLASS
   COLOR 0 0 0
   SIZE 1
   SYMBOL dashed
 END

Thanks in advance...
Gerard B
