[Mapserver-users] Draw line in a map file

[Eric Bridger]

O.K. I ran a quick test.  You also need a CLASS in your layer in order
to set the features color:
So try:
LAYER 
   NAME "pin"
...
   CLASS
     COLOR 255 0 0
   END
   FEATURE
   .....
   END
END

You might also try TRANSFORM FALSE since 
POINTS 1 1 50 50 50 1 1 1 END 
looks like pixel values to me.
