[mapserver-users] Label a point in a legend arbitrarily.

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

Oh, I get what you're after. Offhand I'd say no. You'd need a way to treat the '99' as a symbol and not a label, that way the legend code will render it. Legends know nothing of labels. I suppose you could try creating a truetype symbol with a regular font (e.g. arial) and then set CHARACTER '99' in the symbol definition. Then you'd use two styles, one for the GPS symbol and one for the text symbol. That might work but you can't muck with a symbol's character value via URL.

Steve,


In the Mapfile would be fine.  But  via URL would be a plus as well.


I want to put a number, let's say "99" in each of these GPS symbols.

Oh, man, version . . .  version . . . Umm, an old one . . .

All,


I recall doing this with a symbol in the past, but is there a way (yet) to arbitrarily label a point (symbol) in a legend?
