Introduction

The Advanced Stylization system introduced with MapGuide RFC 14 presents an incredibly powerful but complex way of modelling stylization of map features. This is an area to document this system and to share useful symbol definitions.

Documentation

Eventually, this documentation should be migrated to the wiki, but for now here are some pointers:

• The RFC itself, including the attached LineUsage.doc

• The Imagine-IT ​Building Symbol Libraries PDF is helpful

• In a bind, you need to be able to read and understand the LayerDefinition and SymbolDefinition schemas

Sample Packages

Some browsers will try to download these as type Zipfile. Make sure to rename to MGP

• Image Symbol Demo - A series of symbols showing how to reference PNG files, including how to scale using map units, how to expose attributes such as rotation to be overridden at the layer level, etc. This imports into Library://SymbolDemo/
