Circle on Mapserver Map?

[Fawcett, David]

Take a look at the mapfile documentation:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer

TRANSPARENCY is what you are looking for. Give it a value from 0 to 100.


Note that it behaves more like something that would be called 'opacity'.
A value of 5 will let you see a lot of the underlying layers, whereas a
value of 95 will be pretty opaque.  

David.

Thank you for the excellent example. I had one last question in my
original
email:

I would also like to be able to use a fill color and transparency for
the colored circles. Is it possible to set the transparency of the fill
colors so that the underlying map can still be seen? If yes, how can I
set the transparency?

Thank You
Paul

here's a simple example:


http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv410?map=/usr/local/www/docs_m
aps/
testing/circles.map&mode=map

mapfile is at:

  http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/testing/circles.map

I would like to create three concentric circles at different radius
about a point of interest on a map. Can this be done with Mapserver?
Also I would like to specify miles or km for the units of radius. If
yes, can you point me towards an example?

I would also like to be able to use a fill color and transparency for
the colored circles.

Thank You,
Paul
