Jay,

A couple of additional steps.

1). Add SYMBOLSET as the first line in your symbol file

2). In the mapfile, in the MAP section add a line

SYMBOLSET /path/to/symbolset_file

Thanks guys for your thoughts...still green to this and trying to learn
I would make real sense to me to create the .sym file where I would not
have to redefine the particular symbol sets
 
DO I HAVE THIS RIGHT? 
 
1.  BUT how do I define the symbol set or point to the .sym file from
the map file ?????
 
SYMBOL FILE: So in the Symbol file I would have this (example of two of
them)


SYMBOL
  NAME 'bike'
  TYPE pixmap
  IMAGE '/home/mapserv/proj/pmap/bike.png' 
  TRANSPARENT 2
END
SYMBOL
  NAME 'church'
  TYPE pixmap
  IMAGE '/home/mapserv/proj/pmap/church.png' 
  TRANSPARENT 5
END



MAP FILE: I would simply call them?


CLASS
  STYLE
    SYMBOL "bike"
    COLOR 0 0 0
    OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
  END
END

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 po
int 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
