[Mapserver-users] help with annotations

[Matt Doggett]

Well, I have a single point layer that contains weather station data.  I
currently have it so that the label (actually the 'text' attribute of
the shape object) contains the station identifier. In addition to this,
I also would like to be able to display one, some, all of additional
data like temp, dewpt, winds, etc.
None of the responses so far has suggested annotations so maybe that's
not the direction I need to be going.
