[mapserver-users] FW: Character symbology to follow line direction

[Todd Harris]

Hello list,

 

A little problem, I hope someone can help.

 

Using Mapserver 5.2 - I am attempting to use a character symbol: "|" as
a STYLE for the outline of a polygon class. However, I cannot get the
symbol to remain perpendicular to the polygon boundaries ie: the symbol
is always vertical. Can this be done or should I be using a vector or
point symbol somehow?

 

Symbol file:

SYMBOL

  NAME "rawmat"

  TYPE truetype

  FONT arial

  CHARACTER "|"

  GAP 20 # distance between symbols

END

 

Mapfile

CLASS

            NAME 'Extraction Areas'

            STYLE

                        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

                        WIDTH 1

                        ANTIALIAS TRUE

            END #STYLE

            STYLE

                        SYMBOL 'rawmat'

                        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0

                        SIZE 5

                        ANTIALIAS TRUE

            END #STYLE

END #CLASS

 

Regards

Todd
