[Geoserver-users] Custom polygon linie style

Ismail_Mark · May 22, 2014, 10:10am

I have been tasked to produce a styled polygon in geoserver similar to a style found in mapinfo :-

No fill but with an inward facing triangle as a border (see below)

Is this possible using sld ? I can’t find any examples of anything similar

It should be doable, see this example, but use triangle as the mark name,
and play with the mark rotation to orient it the direction you want:

Hi Andrea

It does work up to a point, the triangle is pointed the correct way and colour etc is fine

The problem is the size – if I put the size to anything above 7 the polygon disappears size 7 is barely distinguishable as a triangle

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Dash - symbol and space

SLD Cook Book: Dash/Space line Action Areas triangle #FF66CC #000000 1 7 4 6

You have to adjust the dasharray accordingly, the "pen down" part of the
dash array spec needs to be as large as the symbol
