[mapserver-users] create hatch symbol with python mapscript?

[Michael Schulz]

Hi,

I just tried to create a hatch type symbol only thru python mapscript,
but failed. Could someone have a quick look and discover what I might
be missing?

...
hatch = mapscript.symbolObj("hatch")
hatch.type = mapscript.MS_SYMBOL_HATCH
sindex = m.symbolset.appendSymbol(hatch)
stylePoly.symbol = sindex
stylePoly.width = 5
stylePoly.angle = 45
stylePoly.outlinecolor.setRGB(255,0,0)
stylePoly.color.setRGB(0,255,0)
lp.opacity = 50
...

The layer is drawn with a complete fill at 50% opacity in green, but
no hatching.

Thanks, Michael
