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.

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.

Coops.
