[mapserver-users] Symbol not showing up in MapServer 6.0.0-beta1 release

[thomas bonfort]

huh, I may have misinterpreted...

you can't expect to obtain a point/marker symbology when using a line geometry.

if you effectively want to use marker symbols, you can have a look RFC
48 and its
 GEOMTRANSFORM "start|end|vertices" transformations.

Below is a simple map file that has a single diagonal line as a feature and two styles; the first should draw a 25-pixel circle, the second a single-pixel line; similar map files worked under 5.6.3. I do not know if this worked under 5.7 circa December 15, 2010.
