[Mapserver-users] Polygons in shape files.

[Gardner Lloyd Bickford III]

Hello,
   I am new to MapServer. I created a basic mapfile with the tcl msworkshop 
scripts. I had to modify it a bit to work with 3.6 but everything is 
working alright now except for my polygon shape file. MapServer doesn't 
seem to draw the polygons or islands. It fills the whole layer with the 
layer color. At http://www.netacus.com/mapserver/cwmap.png you will find an 
example. A friend mentioned that not all programs deal with shape files the 
same way and the application that generated this shape file could  contain 
"extended features" that aren't supported in MapServer.
   Has anyone else encountered this problem? What is the best way to fix my 
shape file or help MapServer draw only the polygons and islands?

Thank you for reading,
   Gardner
