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)
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
regards,
thomas

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.
...Or, to be more clear, I would like to give my lines a striped look
- I don't know if there's an easier way to do it than using a symbol...
Thanks.

yes, you can definitely do that with an image symbol, although that
won't be very flexible if you want to change the width.
another solution would be with a vector symbol.
in both cases, you'll have to add a negative GAP to your symbol definition.
cheers,

Hello Thomas,
Thank you for your reply. I tried first with an image, but the output
didn't look so hot, so I created my own symbol by following this guide:

It still doesn't look very nice, but I will tune it from here.
Thanks again,
Adrian
