[Mapserver-users] how to turn off central point for labels (or how not to draw them for attribute=0) ?

Hello,

I am trying to draw point symbols proportionate to a given attribute. I
use LABELSIZEITEM to do this (thanks to Jan Hartmann for the tip) and it
works like a charm.

The only problem I have is that when the attribute column contains zeros
(or NULLS, but in a dbf-file nulls seem to be 0s), instead of seeing
nothing in those places where the attribute is zero I still get a tiny
central point taht looks like a label anchoring point.

Where there is a value for the attribute the central point is covered by
the symbol. If my explanation is not clear, please see here:

Is there a way to turn these central points off ?
