-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] The Symbology Exchange? From: Gregor Mosheh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, August 08, 2007 11:32 am To: [email protected] Hey, guys. I've been considering whether it'd be useful to have a "symbology exchange" so we can share symbols. So far all that exists is the documentation explaining that one can use multiple styles to make complex symbols, but a recipe is worth a dozen howtos. I figure this could be as easy as a new howto page, and folks comment with their own additions. I, for example, have a nice set of two-color squares, stars, diamonds, and the like at 6 sizes. It took some experimenting to figure that these sizes were the only ones that look good for each shape. I also have a nice Google-style set for TIGER data or other streets, and a decent set of polygon fills. And I suspect that other folks have done some neat vector symbols, or know where to download a set of 100 carto icons, etc. Would this be an interesting and useful page? Does it already exist elsewhere? -- Gregor Mosheh / Greg Allensworth System Administrator, HostGIS cartographic development & hosting services http://www.HostGIS.com/ "Remember that no one cares if you can back up, only if you can restore." - AMANDA
