Re: [mapserver-users] Symbol for Roads with Width

["Stephen Lime" <steve.lime@dnr.state.mn.us>]

You should be able to use overlay symbols to achieve the effect. Assuming you've got a solid line symbol and a dashed line symbol try:

  COLOR 0 0 0
  SYMBOL 'solid-line'
  SIZE 5
  OVERLAYCOLOR 255 0 0
  OVERLAYSYMBOL 'dashed-line'
  OVERLAYSIZE 3

That should give you a black snake with red stripes.

I am trying to create a particular cartographic effect. The idea is one
of a road line with both width and boundaries. Like a big filled snake,
with darker borders.

I can make it wide, but I cannot make the middle a different color from
the edges... I am using 3.5 CVS
Any guidance?
