[mapserver-users] ICON Placing co-ordinates.....

[Fawcett, David]

Robert, 
 
I thought that I remembered posting an example to fix a similar issue
and went back into the archives to find it.  Funny thing, it was a
thread that you started!  The solution was to create the feature on the
fly through a URL configuration.

If you can use the URL vars in the points obj, that would be nice and
clean...
 
David.

	I am having some trouble too. I want to pass in the x y as
variables. Here is the section in my map file:
	 
	 LAYER
	  NAME 'gps_point'
	  STATUS DEFAULT
	  TYPE POINT
	  FEATURE
	    # This is where you specify position on the map
	    POINTS %gpsx% %gpsy% END
	  END
	  CLASS
	    STYLE
	      SYMBOL "marker"
	    END
	  END
	 END
	 
	Here is the section in my symbols.sym, file:
	 
	#21
	SYMBOL
	  NAME "marker"
	  TYPE PIXMAP
	  IMAGE "marker.png"
	  #TRANSPARENT 8
	END
	 
	and here is my mapserver URL:
	 
	
http://10.65.192.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?gpsx=1748411.13985&gpsy=5427898.9
9793&mode=map&layers=linz_orthos+crs_parcels+gps_point&MINX=1747411.1398
5&MINY=5426898.99793&MAXX=1749411.13985&MAXY=5428898.99793&mapsize=1200+
1200

	Unfortunately I get an error: 
	 
	loadFeaturePoints(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near
(%gpsx%):(line 727) 
	 
	How can I pass in the x y?
	 
	Many thanks,
	 
	Robert Sanson

	You'd use the icon as a symbol like so:
	
	LAYER
	  NAME 'TheIcon'
	  STATUS DEFAULT
	  TYPE POINT
	  FEATURE
	    # This is where you specify position on the map
	    POINTS x y END
	  END
	  CLASS
	    STYLE
	      SYMBOL "2.gif"
	    END
	  END
	END
