[mapserver-users] polygon symbol image fill problem

[Matt McClelland]

Hi John

I can't answer you question specifically I have not tried that feature

But can you use standard symbols to do the hatch-fill instead?  You will
probably get a better looking fill effect, and be kinder to your server

The Symbol construction stuff took me a little while to get my head around,
but it is very powerful and allows you to do some cool things.  Hatching is
fairly easy and you find a good example here.

Hope that helps
