shape changes color<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><!-- Converted from text/enriched format -->
<DIV>I created a measure tool and use the following layer for the lines:
</DIV><BR>
<DIV><TT>LAYER </DIV>
<DIV>NAME "custom_solid_line" </DIV>
<DIV>STATUS ON </DIV>
<DIV>TYPE LINE </DIV>
<DIV>POSTLABELCACHE true </DIV>
<DIV>CLASS </DIV>
<DIV>SYMBOL "solid" </DIV>
<DIV>COLOR 255 255 0 </DIV>
<DIV>SIZE 2 </DIV>
<DIV>END </DIV>
<DIV>END </DIV><BR>
<DIV></TT>I add lines to the map with code similar to the following:
</DIV><BR>
<DIV>$line = ms_newLineObj(); </DIV>
<DIV>$line->addXY($x, $y); </DIV>
<DIV>$shp = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_LINE); </DIV>
<DIV>$shp->add($line); </DIV>
<DIV>$layer = $map->getLayerByName("custom_solid_line"); </DIV>
<DIV>$retVal = $layer->addFeature($shp); </DIV>
<DIV>$shp->free(); </DIV>
<DIV>$line->free(); </DIV>
<DIV>// Draw the map later on ... </DIV><BR>
<DIV>The problem is the lines don't always stay yellow. I've seen them green
and pinkish too. The color seems to depend on other visible layers. I've also
seen the same phenomenon with the extents box in the reference map. In fact,
the color of the lines and the extent box is always the same. I.e.: when one
changes color the other does too. I do draw my reference map in a sort of
nonstandard way though by drawing the map and ref. map separately and then
pasting them together. </DIV><BR>
<DIV>Thanks for any help. </DIV>
