[Mapserver-users] How to use annotation layer

[Prashanth Ram]

Hi Frode:  I hope this helps.. I just got mine working a few days ago.. This
is the snippet from my map file:

LAYER
  NAME townsp1_anno
  MAXSCALE 300000
  STATUS ON
  DATA townsp1
  TYPE ANNOTATION
  LABELITEM "Town"
  CLASS
    COLOR 255 255 255
    LABEL
      FONT arial
      MINSIZE 9
      MINFEATURESIZE 40
      MINDISTANCE 10
      POSITION CC
      SIZE TINY
      COLOR 0 0 0
      #ANGLE 45
    END
  END
END # Town annotation

This enables the town name to be always on..
Hope this helps...
