[mapserver-users] Re: [mapserver-dev] How can I rasterize thesymbols in a symbol file?

Thank you Steve,  

I remember there was a  sym2img utility, actually that's what I am looking for, because I want to develop an off-line tool for symbol authoring, I am wondering if  sym2img could be available once again?

The mode is "legendicon" and there's a new "icon" parameter that takes a value like [layer]{:class} where layer is a layer name and (optionally) class number (starting with 0 I think).
