[Geoserver-users] transparency of dots in SLD

Hi,

I am trying to present some features as dots in my SLD. They work
fine, but I can not change the transparency, but probably I am doing
it wrong. this is what I do:

<PointSymbolizer>
  <Graphic>
    <Mark>
      <WellKnownName>dot</WellKnownName>
        <Fill>
          <CssParameter name="fill">#666600</CssParameter>
          <CssParameter name="fill-opacity">0.5</CssParameter>
        </Fill>
      </Mark>
      <Size>1</Size>
    </Graphic>
</PointSymbolizer>

But they don't get transparent!

And by the way, does anybody knows of a book, tutorial or whatever
where the SLD posibilities are described? Specially the CssParameters.
I am right now struggling with the specifications and the XML schema
figuring out what can I use. It is a little bit unfriendly.

Thanks.

Javier.

The problem may be that dot isn't a wellknownname - try circle. I also
think that the graphics itself takes an opacity element which might
override the mark.

Hope that helps

Ian

No luck.

I tried with:

<PointSymbolizer>
    <Graphic>
      <Mark>
        <WellKnownName>square</WellKnownName>
        <Fill>
            <CssParameter name="fill">#CC6600</CssParameter>
        </Fill>
     </Mark>
     <Opacity>0.7</Opacity>
     <Size>3</Size>
  </Graphic>
</PointSymbolizer>

And still my squares are not transparent...
