[Geoserver-users] MapServer equivalent of offset in WMS ?

Hi,

The MapServer map has support in the style section for an x,y offset when plotting a shape. Is there some similar support in WMS or SLD that does this? I haven’t noticed anything suggesting this. Here is a sample portion from a MapServer map.

CLASS

NAME “background”

MINSCALE 100000
MAXSCALE 300000
STYLE
SYMBOL “cartoline”
COLOR 0 0 0
SIZE 1
OFFSET -5 -99
ANTIALIAS true
END
END
CLASS

Thanks, S.D.

I don't believe so. The only offset / displacement that is supported in
SLD appears to be with labels.

Yep, just checked. The SLD spec has no provision for offsets in the
point symbolizers.

See also my answer to Mike Frumin about issues on extending the SLD
syntax (i.e., that's a lot of work).
