[mapserver-users] MapServer Symbol Conversion from Polyline Points

All,

I would vote for both the 0,0 anchoring by default and the use of the ANCHORPOINT function.   These things gave me no end of problems when I first started out with MapServer.  Took a while to figure out how to anchor oddly shaped symbols for example.

as of now, the symbol is centered on the anchor point. I'd be in favor
of having a way to specify the anchor point, either by fixing it on
0,0 , or by specifying it alongside the symbol, eg ANCHORPOINT 0.3 2

regards,
