[mapserver-users] Drawing a circle on a map

[Sucharita Samuel]

 Hi Stephen,
                   Thanks for the hint. I was able to draw the circle, but
now my problem is that I want to move the centroid of the circle to the
point I click on the map.  I used the following code in the mapscript

            layerObj oTempLayer = map.getLayerByName("Circle");
            oTempLayer.open();
            oTempLayer.status = (int)mapscript.MS_ON;
            pointObj point = pixel2point(new pointObj(x, y, 0, 0));
            rectObj oRect = oTempLayer.getExtent();
            shapeObj oShp= oRect.toPolygon();
            pointObj oPoint = oShp.getCentroid();
            oPoint.setXY(point.x, point.y, 0);
            oShp.draw(map, oTempLayer, oImg);
            oImg = map.draw();
            oTempLayer.draw(map, oImg);

Can you please help me to rectify the above code?

Thanks,
Sucharita
