[mapserver-users] Recommendations for SVG Sizing in MAPSERVER?

[Brian Stice]

Hello, 

I am fairly new with MapServer and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations or guidelines of sizing point symbol SVG's? 

I created some SVG symbols in Inkscape. When I load them into MapServer and choose SIZEUNITS feet, I have to set the actual symbol size to around 500 for these to show up in a Map. My understanding is that the SIZEUNIT parameter changes the way the symbol rendered in real world space (in my case feet rather than pixels). I am not sure if this has to do with how the SVG is sized in Inkscape or if there is an issue with using SIZEUNITS and SVGs together in MapServer. I looked at the MAPSERVER documentation online and did not have much luck. 

I have tried a few things including setting the MIN and MAX Size with no luck. Any help or pointers would be awesome. 

Thanks for your help! 

Sincerely,
