[Mapserver-users] symbol question

[IMD Listuser]

Hi,

A follow-on question for symbols.

Id like to use a SYMBOL object to depict points retrieved using OGR
VirtualSpatialData connection to a SQL Server DB.

I would like to rotate the symbol (an arrow) according to a secondary
field in the table row. I would also like to label the point with
additional fields from the table row.

>From what Ive been able to search the list archives, other users have
tried this with no success (or at least no response).

Thanks

Charlie

See the attached zip file. There's a super simple example with an output
image. Should be what you need. You'll need to edit the font file first
to run it with shp2img.
