pixmap symbols - AGG does not seem to support the TRANSPARENT keyword in SYMBOL
Reported by: | havatv | Owned by: | tbonfort |

Description
AGG (png) does not seem to support the TRANSPARENT parameter of the SYMBOL element.
GD (gif) seems to support it.
This is the symbol that I used (the image is from the Mapserver documentation).
SYMBOL NAME "in_the_star" TYPE PIXMAP IMAGE "images/star-symbol.png" # size 20x20 TRANSPARENT 8 # does not work for AGG, works for GD! END

6.0.0 rendering (agg, png) - note the lack of transparency
comment:3 by , 13 years ago
Hmmm... We've been trending to setting transparency through image and not the symbol for years. I'd say no and would like to see the keyword in symbols depricated. How big a fix is it? Could fix in 6.0 and mark as depricated and then remove in 6.2...

I can confirm that this bug is still present in 6.0.0. I will attach some files that show the results for mapserver 5 (5.6.6) and mapserver 6 (6.0.0).
Here is a complete map file that can be used to reproduce the bug:
star-symbol.png is in the documentation "tree", but I attach it anyway.
