Creation symbols in PHP Mapscript on the fly

[Pavel Dobeš]

Hi,

is possible to set up on the fly this type of symbol only in PHP or have I to save it into symbol file?


Symbol
Name '45'
Type TRUETYPE
Font "vera-bold"
Character "45"
Antialias TRUE
END

I was trying some things described on http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/phpmapscript-class/classes/symbolobj but I feel i miss something important.

I need this symbols because I'm using numbered points with numbers in the middle of those points.

Regards
Pavel
