The "florida.map" is the project mapfile and looks for the "coastline.map", "lakes.map", and "islands.map" mapfiles for each of the separate layers. You should just need to change the path in each of the DATA lines to point at your shapefiles. Attached is the image this generates, as well as the mapfiles. You'll have to tweak the colors yourself.<br>

<br>
The image of what you want this to look like didn't come through to the
list. Can you send it to me directly? I'll work up a mapfile that
will look like it for you.<br>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">hello,<br>
I need help selecting a datasource to produce the following: a basic,
high-resolution land map, showing ONLY coastlines and bodies of water. <br>
basically, Im trying to emulate a type of image tiling that I found
on another site, which I believe is also being produced using mapserver, but Im
unsure about which data source/shapefile is being used. <br>
<br>
Ive ATTACHED the image. <br>
You can see that image includes a high-resolution map of the florida coast, including interior bodies of
water.<br>
<br>
Ive tried using the "admin98.shp" and
"world_vector_shorelines.shp" in order to recreate these results, but
these two shapefiles dont include interior bodies of water (lakes, ponds,
etc.). Ive ALSO tried using the gshhs shapefiles (<a href="http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/gshhs.html" target="_blank">http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/gshhs.html</a>),
and these *seem* like they might work, but they are broken up into separate
shapefiles for coastal outline, lakes, ponds, etc., and these shapefiles are IN
LINES instead of POLYGONS/POLYLINES, so I cannot figure out how to
"fill" the space between "lines" with a different
color in order to make the landmasses and interior bodies of
water "stand out".<br>
<br>
So, simply put, my question is: can someone please help me figure out /
recommend which data source I should use in order to produce output similiar to
the image Ive attached? just high-resolution coastal outline and interior
bodies of water IN decimal degrees (WGS1984?), please help....<br>
