Hi all
I request help from any of u who work with TIGER + MapServer . My system is
win Xp / 2k .
I am using TIGER line files with map server for my mapping application .
As of now I am able to render the base map - CompleteChain with Landmarks
/PIP of the TIGER files ( TGR33015 - of Rockingham - NH ) . But I am
searching to find ways to add the NAMES of the locations . like city n, town
, street , road names . I got a reply to similar request to add TEXT
LABELS to be specified . I understand that we can render the layers from the
list generated by ogrinfo.exe . I ran the ogrinfo.exe and got the following
layers
Had to open data source read-only.
INFO: Open of `c:/ms4w/apache/htdocs/demof/data/rm'
using driver `TIGER' successful.
1: CompleteChain (Line String)
2: AltName (None)
3: FeatureIds (None)
4: ZipCodes (None)
5: Landmarks (Point)
6: AreaLandmarks (None)
7: KeyFeatures (None)
8: Polygon (None)
9: EntityNames (Point)
10: IDHistory (None)
11: PolyChainLink (None)
12: PIP (Point)
13: TLIDRange (None)
14: ZipPlus4 (None)
I persume the layer "EntityNames" refer to the names that appear on the map
right ?
If so how to use them in map file reference ?
my map file is as follows ...
