GIF labeling

[Kumar]

That would just give me the symbol with the shield without line symbol. I
need the symbol as a line and the label with shield.

I was wondering if labels can be overlapped using GIF image and label.

In your map file, first define a symbol with the path to your image like
this:

  SYMBOL
    NAME "School"
    TYPE pixmap
    IMAGE "school.gif"
    FILLED false
  END


Then reference that symbol in your layer:

LAYER
  NAME Schools
  TYPE Point
  STATUS Off
  DATA 'ShapeFiles/Washington/schools/schools'
  LABELITEM 'Name'
  CLASS
    STYLE
	  OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
	  COLOR 255 0 0
	  SYMBOL "School"
     END
   END
 END
