How can I change the line width of the outline for polygons in the Mapfile?

Question

I display Polygons in the UMN Mapserver. With the OUTLINE-keyword I set a color for the outline of the polygons. How can I change the line width of this outline?

Answer 1

Use OUTLINECOLOR

Example

STYLE # solid fill
  COLOR 255 0 0
END
STYLE # thick outline (could use a circle symbol with size too)
  OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
  WIDTH 3
  ANTIALIAS TRUE
END

How do I have a polygon that has both a fill and an outline with a width? http://mapserver.org/faq.html

Answer 2

I am guessing that the answer above works, but I think that the FAQ is a little out of date. For reference, below is an example that works for me on a recent version of MapServer.

LAYER
  NAME "watersheds"
  STATUS DEFAULT
  DATA 'majclip'
  TYPE POLYGON
    CLASS
       NAME "all_watersheds"
       STYLE
          COLOR "#EEE8AA"
          OUTLINECOLOR "#999999"
          WIDTH .5
       END
    END

END
