graduated color symbols and mapserver

[Stephen Lime]

That's what classes are for. Each class has it's
own symbolization. The hard part is  the expression to use with ranges of numbers. One easy thing to do is to pre-classify each shape in arcview and then use that column in mapserver class expressions.

I'm wondering if there is some way to imitate ArcView's Graduated Color
Legend/Symbol type.  I have a shapefile of contour lines and I'd like to

come up with a graduated color line symbol (or symbols) for ranges of
elevation. It's kind of a dumb aesthetic problem, but I'd like to figure

out how to represent these different elevations visually with
MapServer.  All I can think of right now is breaking apart the shapefile

into separate files based on ranges of elevation.
