[Geoserver-users] Styled marks shape dot does not work in geoserver version 2.23.1

Hi,

I noticed that the styled mark shape://dot doesn’t work in GeoServer version 2.23.1.

I’ve tried both creating a style with CSS and SLD. In version 2.22.2 everything worked fine.

Below is an example of a style created using CSS.

@mode ‘Auto’;
@styleTitle ‘Test’;
@styleAbstract ‘Test’;

/* @title Test

  • @abstract Test
    */
    *{
    stroke: #a0a0f5;
    stroke-width: 1;
    fill: symbol(“shape://dot”);
    :fill {
    size: 5;
    stroke: #a0a0f5;
    stroke-width: 1;
    fill: #a0a0f5;
    }
    }

Dear all,

To the mail thread.

I would like to know what are the advantages or disadvantages of styling using css or sld?

Thanks.

Miguel Ángel.

can you give us any clues as to what doesn’t work? is nothing drawn? does the program crash? is a penguin produced?

What does the log file show any interesting information? what if you turn logging up to GeoTools-dev level and try again?

SLD is machine readable and does exactly what you asked for and nothing else, css is human readable and does lots of things while you aren’t watching but many people claim it is easier to use. It can be slower especially for complex styles (as they are converted in to SLD in the background)

I also recommend YSLD as the best of both worlds. To compare I recommend the style workshop exercises which produce the same content in each styling flavour.

YSLD

  1. It is a one-to-one mapping to SLD (so it does exactly what you ask) and it is not in XML (why SDL indeed). It uses indentation to communicate the structure rather than XML tags.

  2. It is also willing to fill in the blanks for boiler-plate XML that is not very interesting (so only write what you need):

From line exercise:

line:
stroke-color: blue
stroke-width: 2px
stroke-dasharray: 5 2

  1. You can also define and reuse snippets to prevent having to copy and paste

define: &stroke
stroke-color: ‘gray’
stroke-width: 0.5
rules:

  • filter: ${mapcolor9 = ‘1’}
    scale: [min, max]
    symbolizers:
  • polygon:
    <<: *stroke
    fill-color: ‘#8DD3C7’
  • filter: ${mapcolor9 = ‘2’}
    scale: [min, max]
    symbolizers:
  • polygon:
    <<: *stroke
    fill-color: ‘#FFFFB3’
  1. Tip: Also you can convert between different styles using GeoServer REST API:

To access the default data directory SLD:

To convert to YSLD:

The same approach can be used to convert a YSLD style to SLD if you wish to go back to plain SLD.
This also works for converting CSS to YSLD or SLD (so please experiment without fear of lock-in forever).

Just do not write SLD by hand :slight_smile:

Hi, the result I get is a polygon without filling with dots.

If I use shape://slash it works like it always did in all versions (showing me the lines as a fill of the polygon). The only one I can’t get to work anymore is shape://dot (in 2.23.1 version).

I can confirm that the dot pattern doesn’t seem to work in 2.22.2 either but the relevant code (https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blame/379ae1335ebfba758a03b61be97a20be838900e3/modules/library/render/src/main/java/org/geotools/renderer/style/ShapeMarkFactory.java#L47) doesn’t seem to have changed in more than 5 years.

Looking at the logs seems to indicate that the renderer looks through some (all) the MarkFactories and finds the mark and draws it

22 Jun 08:30:34 TRACE [renderer.style] - fetching mark of name shape://dot
22 Jun 08:30:34 TRACE [renderer.style] - Could not find the symbol, returning null
22 Jun 08:30:34 TRACE [renderer.style] - fetching mark of name shape://dot
22 Jun 08:30:34 TRACE [renderer.style] - applying stroke to mark

So it looks like something odd is happening, if you can raise a bug someone may look at it, though probably not this coming week as its FOSS4G

Thinking out loud, could it be that something environmental changed then? Like, for example, the JDK in use?

<VendorOption name=“graphic-margin”>2

Just a general reminder that if you find a problem in GeoServer please let us know, even if you have a workaround in place. There is absolutely no chance of it getting fixed if the developers don’t know about it.
