[mapserver-users] Place names...?

[Carlos Ruiz]

You have to use LABELITEM tag within LAYER block, and to define a style, within the CLASS block, define a LABEL block with the name of the font, size and color.

Hope it helps to you

Hi all 

   

Apologies in advance if this turns out to
be a stupid question, but I can’t find a way to make Map Server
 v5.0 display place names. I have created a shape file with points for
towns and cities, each of which has a label. If I check this layer with Quantum
GIS (which I used to create the points) I can display both the points and the
labels showing town and city names. However when I define this layer in the
mapfile with type ‘point’ MapServer gives me a display of the points
but not the labels.  If I define it as type ‘annotation’ I
don’t see either points or labels. I feel sure I am missing something
obvious but after quite a few hours I am stuck.  Can anyone suggest what I
am doing wrong?
