shapeObj

drawing lines with mapscript

...class definition in the map file needed a style section (even if it is empty)...

$layer = $map->getLayerByName('line_layer');
$layer->{status} = 1;
my $linePoint1 = new mapscript::pointObj();
$linePoint1->{x} = 272048; $linePoint1->{y} = 199772;
my $linePoint2 = new mapscript::pointObj();
$linePoint2->{x} = 272450; $linePoint2->{y} = 200074;
my $line = new mapscript::lineObj();
$line->add($linePoint1);
$line->add($linePoint2);
my $shape = new mapscript::shapeObj($mapscript::MS_SHAPE_LINE);
$shape->add($line);
$shape->{text} = "LINE TEXT";
$shape->draw($map, $layer, $img);
