hatch in mapserver

[pvgenuchten]

a 45deg hatch currently gives this style

STYLE
      OPACITY 1.0
    END

      OPACITY 1.0
      OUTLINECOLOR "#000000"
      OUTLINEWIDTH 1.738582677186

in stead mapserver has a special hatch symbol type

SYMBOL
  NAME 'hatch-test'
  TYPE HATCH
END

Mapserver export does not support symbol fills or marker lines at the moment. I still have to work on this...

[volaya]

Support for marker fills is already added, and a line fill with an angle of 45 degrees should be now correctly converted to mapserver.

However, there is no distinction for hatch symbols in geostyler (no equivalent to TYPE HATCH), so the conversion just generates a regular pattern fill with a rotated line symbol.

i guess we should extend geostyler to support hatch-type-symbology, qgis and mapserver have specific (line pattern fill) support, a hatch is quite different as how geoserver treats it as a patternfill with horline marker (only 45deg)
