Line thickness with symbols

[Fawcett, David]

Maarten, 

When you apply this symbol to a layer of TYPE LINE, increasing the size parameter will make the line thicker.  If, as in your example, it is applied to a point layer, increasing size will increase the diameter of the circle.

Yes, I worked with the size-parameter. But if my understanding is
correct, this is the size of the symbol itself, and not the line
thickness when plotting a 'not-filled' circle.

As an example, see the attchment. In Switzerland, there are two blue
'empty circles', with size 17. The size is correct, only I want to
'thicken' the small blue line.

Thanks!

Maarten

Use in your CLASS the following (5 is the width in pixels):

CLASS
  ..
  STYLE
    SYMBOL "emptycircle"
    SIZE 5
  END
  ..
END

Hi list,

I am using a symbol file, with (part of) the symbol definition below.
This is working okay, except the line thickness of this circle is (only)
1 pixel.

Is there a way to make the line thickness more than 1? 

SYMBOL
Name 'emptycircle'
TYPE ELLIPSE
FILLED FALSE
POINTS 1 1 END

Regards,
Maarten
