Hello Thomas,

Thank you for your reply. I tried your solution and it draws a dashed line paralel to my feature (on each side because the symbol is thicker). This is nice, but I was wondering if it's possible to draw the lines at an angle relative to my feature, thus created the "hatch" effect.

If this is not possible with a simple symbol - would it be possible with a graphical symbol (picture)? And if yes, should I expect a high performance penalty?

Thanks again,
Adrian

hi,

hatches only apply to polygon layers.

what you are probably looking for is the PATTERN keyword:

symbol
  type simple
  pattern 2 2 end
  name "dashes"
end

Hello,

I'm trying to apply a hatch over a line segment, but it doesn't seem to
work.
My symbol definition is:

SYMBOL              NAME 'hatch'
   TYPE HATCH  END
My layer definition is:
LAYER
  TYPE LINE
  ...
  CLASS
     NAME "Test"
     EXPRESSION ( "[flag]" eq "1")
     STYLE                                     SYMBOL 'hatch'
          ANGLE 45                               SIZE 3 #spacing between
lines
          WIDTH 4 #width of each line           color "#000000"
      END                                   style
        color "#fff94d"                       width 2
        antialias true                       end
  END
END

The behavior is the following: mapserver draws the lines using the second
style (a yellowish color), but doesn't draw a hatch over my line.

I've tried with the hatch symbol after the style definition, but it still
doesn't work.  The hatch worked for POLYGON layers just fine.

Is there any way I can use it for LINE data?

Thanks,
Adrian

P.S. I'm using mapserver 5.4.1
