Can you please clarify to me what you mean by data that is oriented? When I built the road layer from GPS data, I added polylines starting from point A->...->B and recorded all the inflections in the road between A and B.
By ordered data you mean the direction in this case is A->B?
If I wanted to reverse the direction I'd have to write the data to the shapefile in the order B->A?

Thanks

it's the direction of the underlying geometry that's used.
so you either need
* data that's oriented, and a single boolean filed indicating if its
oneway or not,
* or an unoriented geometry, and a field indicating if the oneway
direction is reversed or not wrt the geometry (and two directional
symbols, one with > , the other with <)

Hello Thomas,

Thank you very much for your tip! It's great.
However, I have a question: How can I select the direction of the arrow? I
mean, between A and B I have a road segment:

A----------------B

Right now, it renders as A---->---->----->-----B, but I want it to render as
A----<------<-----<------B.

My question is: how does mapserver select the order of A and B? If I
understand this, I can create another symbol and use it for the reverse
path.

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi,

for repeated arrow symbols, you can use a truetype (or image, or
vector) symbol, with a negative GAP:

SYMBOL
 NAME oneway
 TYPE TRUETYPE
 CHARACTER '>'
 FONT arial
 GAP -20
END

and then in your layer:

STYLE
 SYMBOL oneway
 SIZE 8
 COLOR 0 0 0
END

cheers,
thomas

Hello everybody,

I have a map that displays roads stored in a polyline format. I would like
to mark one-way streets with an arrow symbol drawn on top of the road
itself. The symbol can be as small as possible (for beginning I would like
to be able to superimpose it anywhere between the street ends, and later on
I will lock it to be next to one of the ends).

I can already select the one way streets based on the following template:

  CLASS

     Name "OneWay"

     EXPRESSION
/^FO040127$|^FO040132$|^FO040139$|^FO040120$|^FO040104$|^FO040131$|^FO040146$|^FO040129$/
     STYLE

        COLOR 255 0 0

        WIDTH 4

     END

     LABEL

         COLOR 0 0 255

         TYPE TRUETYPE

         FONT arial

         SIZE 8

     ANTIALIAS TRUE


         POSITION AUTO


         ANGLE AUTO
         PARTIALS TRUE


         MINDISTANCE 0


         BUFFER 0       END


 END

Can you show me an example of how to draw such a symbol on top of the layer?
Thank you

Adrian
