| 13 * | 13 * Since the MapServer cannot use a file geodatabase datasource the converter |
| 14 does not support this datasource and will not transform the MXD-file at all. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 * Raster data is not supported by the converter yet. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 Symbol support: | |
| 19 | |
| 20 * Line symbols with pattern cannot be combined with marker symbols. The | |
| 21 converter reads all symbols and writes the corresponding styles to the | |
| 22 resulting mapfile but the marker symbols are rendered without any gap. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 * Workarround: | |
| 25 For small marker symbols it is recommended to use a line symbol in | |
| 26 combination with pattern (in ArcGIS called template) to create the | |
| 27 symbology. | |
| 28 The reason why marker symbols cannot be used in combination with a template | |
| 29 is the difficulty to interpret the read attributes like marks and gaps and | |
| 30 write the appropriate symbols with the appropiate gap to the mapfile. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 * The converter sets the width to 1 for line symbols that have a width | |
| 33 smaller than 1. Outlines with a width smaller than 1 are drawn in the fill | |
| 34 color of the ploygon and the width is set to 1. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 * Picture symbols are not supported by the converter. | |
| 37 | |
| 38 * In ArcGIS maps default symbols can be defined as fallback. Since MapServer | |
| 39 does not support such fallback symbols or styles the converter does not | |
| 40 read these default symbols. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 * In ArcGIS predefined symbols like bars or pie charts can be used to display | |
| 43 values. The converter does not support these symbols. | |
