[mapserver-users] Symbology

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

You can put the symbol definition in your map file, or in a symbols file (e.g. symbols.sym) and then set SYMBOLSET at the MAP level to point to your symbols.sym file.

Ok that seems to make sense...but where do I place the image SYMBOL (your example below)?  DO I place that in the map file as well?
Little confused there....

Thanks Michael and Adam for your return replys.

Hi,

yes, you have to define an image symbol in your symbolset and use that:

SYMBOL
  NAME 'church'
  TYPE pixmap
  IMAGE 'church.gif'
  TRANSPARENT 5
END

then use
SYMBOL 'church' in your style.

Cheers, Michael
