[mapserver-users] From MS 5.6 SYMBOL into 6.0 STYLE

[Christy Nieman]

Hi,

For the "railfar" symbol, all you need is for the PATTERN to be in the 
style (no symbol required).  Something like:

    STYLE
         COLOR 0 0 0
         WIDTH 2
         PATTERN 5 5 END
    END


For the "rail" symbol, you need to move the GAP parameter from the 
symbol into the style.  Something like:

    STYLE
           SYMBOL "rail"
           GAP -3
           SIZE 5
           COLOR 0 0 0
    END


And in the symbol file:

    SYMBOL
         NAME "rail"
         TYPE TRUETYPE
         FONT sc
         CHARACTER '|'
    END
