Help on tiger, again.

[Hermawan Sutantio]

Is there an identifier for 'highways' in the roads layer that I seem to be
missing? I inserted those piece of code as shown below, but the highways are
still drawn in black with size 1. Thanks.

Herman

LAYER
  NAME "Michigan"
  TYPE LINE
  STATUS DEFAULT
  TILEINDEX "C:\ms4w\apps\gmap\htdocs\michigan\roads-tile"
  MAXSCALE 50000
  CLASS
    NAME "Michigan Roads"
    COLOR 0 0 0
    SIZE 1
  END
  CLASS
    NAME "highway"
    COLOR 255 0 0 # make it red
    SYMBOL 0 # this is a built in circle symbol
    SIZE 5 # make it 5 pixels wide
    # if you want it fancy then add also
    OVERLAYSYMBOL 0
    OVERLAYCOLOR 255 255 255 # add a white down the center of the red
    OVERLAYSIZE 1
  END

Yes, you can specify thickness like this:

CLASS
   NAME "highway"
   COLOR 255 0 0 # make it red
   SYMBOL 0      # this is a built in circle symbol
   SIZE 5        # make it 5 pixels wide
   # if you want it fancy then add also
   OVERLAYSYMBOL 0
   OVERLAYCOLOR  255 255 255 # add a white down the center of the red
   OVERLAYSIZE 1
END

You can also do this by adding multiple STYLE ... END blocks instead of
using OVERLAY* where each STYLE is draw in turn to make a more complex
styling of the line.
