Hi

Could anyone tell me if/how it is possible to define a random colouring for a polygon layer in GeoServer/GeoExplorer?

Thanks

Mixing random and categorize (
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/sld-tipstricks/transformation-func.html)
I guess
one could generate random colors, but they would change every time you do a
GetMap.

See this old thread for other ideas:
