Re: [Mapbuilder-users] [georss] Styling GeoRss points

[Charlie Savage]

Hi Pat - thanks for the comments.

Charlie,

Community MapBuilder that would allow you to define an OGC SLD (Style Layer
Descriptor) for that feed.
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAP/Home

A good option for you would be to use an OGC compliant client such as

<PointSymbolizer>
  <Graphic>
    <ExternalGraphic>

Right - I should have mentioned SLD. For completness's sake, it would look something like this: <OnlineResource xlink:href="http://www.mapbuzz.com/images/marker.gif"/>

      <Format>image/svg+xml</Format>
    </ExternalGraphic>
    <ExternalGraphic>

<OnlineResource xlink:href="http://www.mapbuzz.com/images/marker_hover.gif"/>

      <Format>image/svg+xml</Format>
    </ExternalGraphic>
   <Mark/>
   <Size>15.0</Size>
 </Graphic>
</PointSymbolizer>

Disadvantages:

* Very verbose
* I don't see any obvious way of specifying higlighted/non-highlighted icons





Charlie

Also, and this isn't meant to upset anyone, I don't see any future for SLD - I think KML has taken its place, certainly in the consumer world (versus the enterprise GIS market). What I'd like is some really simple way to specify point icons that will let anyone who groks GeoRss be able to easily specify the icons that should be used.
