[mapserver-users] python mapscript - creating vector symbols on the fly?

[Umberto Nicoletti]

David,
after a quick look it seems that the API is there, although I am not
entirely sure whether it is stable or tested.

in pseudocode:

symbol=new symbolObj()
//set attributes of symbol
map->symbolset.append(symbol)

Regards,
Umberto
