[Mapserver-users] symbols from shapefile

[James Jefferson]

Hi list,

In my application I need to represent thousands of objects that have about
200 symbols. In the shapefile / DBF file I have a column with the symbol
name I would like that point represented by. Is there any way to have
mapserver use that icon specified by the DBF.

I thought I would ask before I start hacking apart the code in an attempt
to add that functionality.

Thanks,
