Subject: [gislist] How can I draw point symbol on WMS?
Date:  06/18/2007 07:38:06 AM
From:  John Fannon




Hi

We are using WMS to deliver maps for several web applications. We would
like to be able to draw a point symbol at an x,y position on the map (ie
an acetate layer). Is there any way we can do this through the GetMap
request using SLD?

I've looked at the ogc spec for SLD and symbolising a point is no
problem. It is also possible to have "user layers", but it seems these
must be supplied by a WFS. Can we not just provide a GML point and
symbolise that?

I get the feeling that somebody must have done this before as it's quite
a common task. I'd be grateful if you have any examples or tips
regarding the above. We are using ArcIMS 9.2 to serve the WMS.

Regards

John
