I have a shapefile that I have stored in GeoServer. I have some SVG symbols that I want to use for each point. I want the SVG symbols to rotate based on the orientation column (attribute value) in the shapefile plus 90 degrees.

I found that

<Rotation> 
    <ogc:PropertyName>rotation_column</ogc:PropertyName>
</Rotation>

will rotate the symbol by "rotation_column".

I also found that

<Rotation> 
   <ogc:Literal>90</ogc:Literal>
</Rotation>

will rotate 90 degrees.

I want to rotate "rotation_column" + 90 degrees. How can I do it?

This is my whole SLD after applying @Andrea Aime 's suggestion:

"orientatio" is the column that I want to have the rotation based on it.

This should do the trick

<Rotation> 
    <ogc:Add>
      <ogc:PropertyName>rotation_column</ogc:PropertyName>
      <ogc:Literal>90</ogc:Literal>
    </ogc:Add>
</Rotation>

  • I applied it and now I have an error: line 24: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'Rotation'. One of '{"opengis.net/se":Rotation, "opengis.net/se":AnchorPoint, "opengis.net/se":Displacement}' is expected. My tags start with <se: ... > yours with <ogc: ...> can it be because of it? even what does that ogc and se mean here?

    Ouch, you're using SLD 1.1 instead of SLD 1.0. Try adding the prefixes to rotation (<se:Rotation>), but my example was meant to be used with SLD 1.0

    The validation error you have now seems due to the order of the elements, the SLD schema dictates a specific order. Looks like you're working inside a PointPlacement? In any case, see the expected order here: schemas.opengis.net/se/1.1.0/Symbolizer.xsd

The answer that @Andrea Aime has suggested is correct. In order to fix the error, I added se: before Rotation tag, But I would appreciate if someone can explain what se: means.

<se:Rotation> 
    <ogc:Add>
      <ogc:PropertyName>rotation_column</ogc:PropertyName>
      <ogc:Literal>90</ogc:Literal>
    </ogc:Add>
</se:Rotation>

    It's a prefix commonly used for the http://www.opengis.net/se namespace, of the "Symbology Encoding" specification, upon which the SLD 1.1 schema is built.
