Hi, I've a map set up, which plots points taken from a database. This is done with a PHP script which takes the points from a MySQL dbase and produces a KML file, which is in turn read by my google map with EGeoXml.
http://blog.coopersphotos.co.uk/livemap/index.php?tag=PHR This is working fine. However to improve the system I want to colour code the points by date (a gradient). I already have done what I thought would be the hard bit, writing a system to calculate the colour gradient and produce the correct hex codes for each of the points. But from what I've found you can't simply set the colour of a marker, is has to be an pre-defined icon. So I came across MapIconMaker on the API blog which seemed to be exactly what I needed, except it works in the actual gmap javascript, not on the KML. Is there a nice solution to this problem? I considered perhaps using PHP-GD and dynamically creating the icon for each point but haven't used GD before and saw no immediate solution using it on google. Cheers.
