[mapserver-users] symbol at start and end of polyline ?

[Oliver Christen]

At first I thought I had some oddity with the data I used for my testing
( see http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/line_with_style.png with the star symbol on every vertex of one line feature)

but after trying with some other set of data, I only have the star symbol on start and end of the whole line feature ( and, strangely, also on cross-section if the line separate in two at some point ) 
http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/line_feature_extremities.png
so I thought the problem was solved, but upon zooming on the extrmities of the line feature, im again having strange behavior:
http://dev.camptocamp.com/~ochriste/line_feature_extremity_zoomed.png
with multiple star symbols.
the red star in these two image are from the same line feature.

why is there more than 2 stars ?
does the geomtransform 'end' only work for line features consisting of only 2 points ?

  if you're using postgis, you can use a unique key from your table (i.e. gid)
  if you have a shapefile, you'll have to find an or a combination of attributes in the dbf that's unique to identify that particular feature.

    it makes sens, but how do I do that ?
    do line segment get automaticaly an id ?
    or how to get (or set) the id of the line segment?

      well, if you want only one line segment to have start markers, you must  tell mapserver which segment that is.

        thx Thomas, but im not sure I understand what you are telling me here.
        do line segments have id ?

          hi,

          class
            expression ([id]=321)
            style
              geomtransform end
              ...
            end
          end
          class
            style
              ... #all the others
            end
          end

            hello

            I would like to add a symbol at the start and end of a polyline.

            I tried using GEOMTRANSFORM with "start" and "end" in a style block in the layer but sadely this will add a symbol to all start and end of every vertex of the polyline, which is not the result wanted :/

            is there any way to do that, beside creating a new point layer ?

            thanks in advance
            Oliver
