[Chameleon] SYMBOLSET PROBLEM MAPSERVER 5.4

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,

You would probably get a better answer from the MapServer mailing-list, 
but here's some tips anyway.

The symbol in a polygon are ony used for the polygon filling. See the 
polygon examples here:
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/symbology/construction.html#complex-symbols

To answer your question see this link:
