Map->Layer->Class Question

[Steve Lime]

If I understand you right this isn't possible as things sit now. You have to create all the classes (or use MapScript where I'm sure you could develop a shortcut). Unfortunately binding symbols and colors to attributes are not supported although there is an RFC out that deals with the subject...

Alright I have a set of data that i want to apply two different styles to...

In one class i want to set the color and in an overlapping class i want to set the symbol... so i don't have to create Colors*Symbols number of classes.  

I.e. i want to list classes where expressions can overlap and fill in different parts of a style for a particular point

CLASS
    EXPRESSION ('[color]' eq 'red')
    STYLE
        COLOR 255 0 0
    END
END

CLASS
    EXPRESSION ('[symbol]' eq 'triangle')
    STYLE
        SYMBOL "triangle"
        SIZE 7
        WIDTH 1
    END
END
