[mapserver-users] showing line direction (without font)

2011-03-24 Thread Clément MONIER
Hi,

Is it possible to display a layer of lines with direction's marks using 
MapServer ?
With no font trick (i.e a char symbol like '',...)

See picture attached showing a nice sample

Thanks  Regards

clement,

GEOMTRANSFORM END
SYMBOL arrowhead
ANGLE AUTO

does what you want, with the arrowhead symbol being a truetype symbol
with character ''.
you can also define arrowhead as a vector symbol with the points
forming an arrowhead.

I have tried to do this but I think it is possible maybe like this.

1. You need the arrow head as a symbol, probably pointing north.
2. you can use the GEOMTRANSFORM START or END in the STYLE to place the 
arrow symbol

3. Set ANGLE AUTO to align with vector

Sorry, I don't have time right now to test this out.
