Thanks David<br><br>That Cluster function is very impressive (as is Mapserver). <br>Using expressions to find common cluster problems I can fairly easily resolve about 90% of my issues, a good solution.<br><br>Thanks<br><br clear="all">

</div><div><div></div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi<br><br>I have a bunch of symbols that overlap on a map. EG at a park where I want to show an symbol for playground, toilet and picnic tables. The data for each of these items are individual point data items.<br>
<br>I would like to ask mapserver, very kindly, to 'tile' nearby symbols into a group<br>OR<br>Use the main symbol like a label. So that I could have a dot where the play equipment is, then nearby have the symbol for the play equipment. This is obviously very easy to do with text, but is it possible with a symbol??<br>
<br>I have tried this <br> CLASS<br> EXPRESSION /play|playground/<br> NAME "Children's Playground"<br> STYLE<br> SYMBOL 'waypoint'<br> color 255 0 0<br> SIZE 5<br>
END<br> LABEL<br> STYLE<br> SYMBOL '/var/www/osm/kml/icons/play.png'<br> Size 10<br> END<br> ...text styleing info....<br> END<br> END <br><br>I get my 'waypoint' dot and the play.png in the same location. I would like the play.png to be positioned AUTO like I can with text.<br>
Any ideas??<br><br>Thanks<br>Matt :)<u></u><u></u></p></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br>
