Re: [mapserver-users] Drawing a line<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Do you mean "given" as in "submitted via a web page"? In
that case I think I would use Python mapscript to add a LAYER similar to the
one I sent below, but using the form variables submitted from the web page as
the POINTS values. Take a look at the chapter on Python Mapscript in the
O'Reilley Web Mapping Illustrated book. It explains it more clearly than
I'm probably able to.<BR><BR>Perhaps someone else on the list has another
idea.<BR>--<BR><BR><BR>
