<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I have a polygon shapefile which I can open and view in ArcExplorer and everything looks perfect. However, when I try to use the same shapefile as data for a LAYER of TYPE POLYGON, I get the following exception:</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><SPAN class=tx><STRONG>msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'aal135'. msDrawShape(): General error message. Only polygon shapes can be drawn using a POLYGON layer definition.</STRONG></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><SPAN class=tx><STRONG></STRONG></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><SPAN class=tx>So I tried switching the TYPE in my layer to POINT and a couple of points along the border of the polygon showed up. I know the shapefile is a polygon though because it displays as the correct shape in arcExplorer.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><SPAN class=tx></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><SPAN class=tx>Can someone tell me why the polygon will show up in ArcExplorer but not in mapserver?</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE><SPAN class=tx>Is there anything I can do to fix this problem??</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I am at real loss here for why this happens and would really appreciate any help....</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Thanks</DIV>
