[Mapserver-users] Display of text labels by type

[Stephen Clark]

Hello,

I have a shape point file with names of point locations.

Each point location has a type such as City, town, locality, etc.,

How can I specify that the point is annotated by using the "type" of point
feature?

I have included a sample layer file as reference.

thanks
Stephen
