Symbol Highlighting

[pvoudouris]

When you define multiple Styles for a class in a layer and then you select/highlight the feature ( i did this using mapscript c#) the highlight color only seems to apply to the last style used and not the whole (combined) symbol. For example if my class is defined as :

CLASS
	STYLE
		COLOR 138 138 138
		SYMBOL 'triangle'
		SIZE 15
	END
	STYLE
		COLOR 255 0 0
		SYMBOL "point"
		SIZE 5
	END
END 

where triangle and point are defined as:

 SYMBOL
	NAME "triangle"
	TYPE VECTOR
	POINTS
		0 1
		0.5 0
		1 1
		0 1
	END
	FILLED TRUE
	STYLE
		1 25 1 25
	END
  END
  
  SYMBOL
  NAME "point"
  TYPE ELLIPSE
  POINTS
    1 1
  END
  FILLED TRUE
END

and QUERYMAP as:

QUERYMAP
    STATUS ON
    COLOR 16 238 246
    STYLE HILITE
END

only the "Point" symbol will be drawn in the highlight color. I would expect/like for the whole symbol to be drawn in the highlight color especially since the last symbol is usually the smallest size and sometimes its not even easily visible to the user that it has been changed/highlighted.

Steve, I saw in the code that changing only the first style's params is the intended behavior.

What is your opinion about changing it to affect all styles and not the just first one?
