[Mapserver-users] Draw only Labeled features

[Stephen Woodbridge]

If the LAYER is ANNOTATION instead of POINT the it will only draw the 
object if it can be labeled. Just change the type POINT to ANNOTATION 
and make sure you LABEL definitions are in that LAYER and it should work.

If not add the layer definition in your post so we can see it.
