[Mapserver-users] Mapserver Bug

[Zamil Murji]

I have found my error. I was filling in the polygons lower down. If I fill the polygons lower down then everything I drew up above would not appear. My question is how do I make a layer transparent? My data comes from a shapefile. Can I use the OFFSITE tag or should I use something else. Here is a layer definition:
LAYER
# fast file
  NAME "counties"
  DATA boarders/counties
  STATUS off
  TYPE POLYGON
  MAXSCALE 29
  CLASS
   OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
   COLOR 84 247 168
  END
END

Thanks Zamil

I'll forward the post to the list, someone else may be able
to help. I think more information on your setup will get
better input from the list.

Cheers
