Re: [udig-devel] Arrowhead Symbolizers

I would ask this on the GEotools-users list or the Geoserver-users.  There are lots of SLD experts on both lists.

How to style line features with an arrowhead at either end? Preferably
using SLD, other methods are welcome if SLD does not support that.

I found this thread on the subject:
http://www.nabble.com/Directional-Symbology-td12231197.html

...but it does fully answer the question.

Given a line feature type with a LineSymbolizer, if I define an
additional PointSymbolizer for that type, where do the point symbols get
placed? At the first vertex, the last, somewhere in the middle of the
line?

Do I have to create an additional point feature just to position the
arrow icon on a line feature?

And of course it is not enough to place an arrowhead icon at the
endpoint of a line, you want the arrowhead to be correctly oriented.

I'm thinking of something like

                   <sld:LineSymbolizer>
                       <sld:Stroke>
                           <sld:CssParameter name="arrow-direction">
                               <ogc:Literal>backward</ogc:Literal>
                           </sld:CssParameter>
                           <sld:CssParameter name="arrow-head">
                               <ogc:Literal>double</ogc:Literal>
                           </sld:CssParameter>
                       </sld:Stroke>
                   </sld:LineSymbolizer>


where

 arrow-direction = none|forward|backward|bothways

 arrow-head = simple|double|filled|...

and maybe you want an additional tag for placing the arrows either at
the endpoint of the line or in the middle.


Regards,

Harald
